Die Dienstleistungen umfassen die Möglichkeit für den Verkäufer, Informationen zu den vom Verkäufer an den Empfänger gelieferten Waren hochzuladen, einschließlich, aber nicht beschränkt auf vom Verkäufer erstellte digitale Produktbilder, Attribute, Daten und andere Informationen ("Verkäuferinhalte") auf die Plattform zu laden, damit Syndigo diese speichern und an die Empfängerverbindungen der Plattform weiterleiten kann, vorbehaltlich der folgenden Bedingungen:
Ab dem Datum dieses Vertrages werden die von Syndigo für den Verkäufer erbrachten Dienstleistungen vom Empfänger gemäß einer Vereinbarung zwischen dem Empfänger und Syndigo (die "Sponsoring-Vereinbarung") finanziell unterstützt.
Die Vereinbarung beginnt am Tag des Inkrafttretens und endet 12 Monate nach dem Tag des Inkrafttretens, sofern sie nicht früher gekündigt wird (die "Anfangslaufzeit").

Ungeachtet des Vorstehenden kann Syndigo im Falle der Beendigung oder des Auslaufens der Sponsoring-Vereinbarung die Vereinbarung mit einer Frist von 10 Tagen gegenüber dem Anbieter kündigen (eine E-Mail ist ausreichend). Wenn der Anbieter die Syndikation an einen zusätzlichen Empfänger oder die Syndikation von Informationen außerhalb des Umfangs der in der Vereinbarung beschriebenen Dienstleistungen wünscht oder wenn die Sponsoring-Vereinbarung endet, können zusätzliche Bedingungen und Gebühren anfallen, und der Anbieter wird an die Vertriebsabteilung von Syndigo verwiesen, um Unterstützung zu erhalten.
