Depending on the User’s choice, their telephone number may also be publicly available within the Advertisement.
At the time of publication of the Ad, the User grants ADSONB a non-exclusive, territorially unlimited, royalty-free license to record, multiply and distribute all or part of the Ad for display on the Service and for distribution to ADSONB’s partners through whom the Service is promoted and anywhere on the Internet, including search engines (such as Google) or social networks (such as Facebook).

the same Product may be the subject of only one Ad at a time, but this also applies to Ads filled in by Users within 14 days of the date the Ad was added;

In the event of any payment-related problems, the User should contact the relevant payment operator in order to clarify any doubts or file a complaint. In exceptional circumstances and within the limits of technical and organisational possibilities, ADSONB will assist the User in clarifying the problem. ADSONB accepts no responsibility for payment services provided by an external service provider.
The provision of services to the User by ADSONB is documented by means of invoices issued by the Provider in accordance with the applicable regulation.
The User is obliged to update the data recorded in the Account necessary for the Service Provider to issue the invoice immediately after any such change occurs.
The default form of invoicing available to Users is electronic invoicing. Acceptance of the Regulation also constitutes acceptance of the transmission (making available) of invoices in electronic format in accordance with applicable legal provisions and for the purposes of the Regulation.
Subject to the conditions set out in these Regulations, ADSONB shall make invoices available to the User in electronic format, guaranteeing the authenticity of their origin, integrity of their content and legality, in particular by saving them in pdf format and making them available to the User in his/her Account, giving the User the possibility to view and download them.

Ads that are illegal or violate the provisions of the Regulation, especially those: added to the wrong category, which are similar or duplicated, which are repeated many times (of a spam nature), which are considered offensive, which have pornographic or erotic content, content which can be interpreted as promoting sexual or erotic activities in exchange for money, which constitute an attempt to defraud, which infringes any copyright, will be deleted and the fee previously charged for the subject matter of the Advertisement and for the Paid Services related to that Advertisement will be refunded to the User’s account in the form of points used for the use of services within the Service within 90 Days from the time of deletion of that Advertisement. At the User’s request, the fee may be refunded in cash, directly to the bank account from which the payment was made or in accordance with the payment method used.

At the same time, if a payment is made by SMS, the Service will deduct the fee charged by the SMS payment service operator for activating the Advertisement.

20 ADSONB Wallet Service

ADSONB offers Users the possibility to use the ADSONB Wallet Service (ADSONB eWallet) free of charge within the framework of the Account Services, which leads to the simplification of the settlements made between the User and ADSONB, related to the ordered Paid Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the ADSONB Wallet Service does not constitute a Payment Service and the Units allocated in ADSONB Wallet do not constitute electronic money for the purposes of the provisions relating to the provision of Payment Services.
The use of the ADSONB Wallet service is based on the following rules:
The User must “credit” ADSONB Wallet by depositing funds to the ADSONB account in one of the supported currencies in accordance with the information provided within the Service;
After crediting the payment to the ADSONB account, ADSONB allocates the number of units equal to the amount paid to the User’s ADSONB Wallet. This amount is constantly updated after each operation carried out by the User that leads to a change in the amount (reloading leads to an increase in the number of units in the ADSONB Wallet, and payment for the selected Paid Service leads to a decrease in the number of units in the ADSONB Wallet);
The User has full and exclusive freedom to use the amounts allocated to his/her ADSONB Wallet for the entire duration of the Account Service Agreement, provided that the Account is active;
in the event of making payments to certain entities from ADSONB Wallet for a given Paid Service, ADSONB shall deduct the price due for the provision of the said Paid Service, charging the corresponding amount from the User’s ADSONB Wallet (balance reduction).
The User may request, at any time, a refund of the funds paid into ADSONB Wallet, in any amount not exceeding the displayed balance, taking into account payments and reloads made by the User. Such request shall be made by email (contact@ADSONB.ro) or in writing to ADSONB.
The refund of funds from ADSONB Wallet will be made by transfer to the bank account from which the payment was made or in accordance with the payment method used to make the payment. The request for the return of funds from ADSONB Wallet does not apply to bonus credits awarded to the Account within the framework of promotions, contests, discount points and refund bonuses awarded to Premium Packages in accordance with Annex No. 6 “Business and Premium Packages”. The bonus credits are awarded each time on the basis of a separate promotion regulation, are valid for 90 days calculated from the moment of their award and will be used in accordance with the rules set out in these Regulations.

21 Courier service “Delivery ADSONB”

The optional “ADSONB Delivery” service allows Users who sell Products through the Website to deliver them by the desired Courier or deliver them personally, the Product being visually checked at destination by the Buyer.
In the case of delivery by the desired Courier, the Product’s value is paid cash on delivery and the money is transferred to the Seller’s bank account.
In the case of delivery by personal courier, delivery will be made “office to office”, from the post office chosen by the sender (from the list of post offices shown on the Platform), to the post office allocated to the recipient, chosen from the list available on the Platform. The Buyer will pay the Product’s value at the post office chosen for the destination, in cash or by card.
The verification of the Products sent through the “ADSONB Delivery” service is strictly visual (not technical), in the presence of the courier/postal agent. An ADSONB representative will intervene in the following cases:

To contact the sender, by all available means, if the sender does not respond to the courier agent for the return of the money;
to limit access to the “ADSONB Delivery” service and even to delete the Ads of Sellers who abuse the “ADSONB Delivery” option; and
