4.2 The listing of Partner’s offer in the Dowin catalog, according to the provisions below:
Free listing of Partner’s offer in the Dowin product catalog, exclusively in those categories, if at all available, that allow free listing, as indicated at Dowin Partners.
Dowin reserves the right to modify at any time the list of categories that allow free listing, without prior notice. The modifications may include, temporarily or permanently, the complete exclusion of free listing for some categories. Partner can access and consult the page Dowin at any time, from within the user account.
Dowin reserves the right to approve the registration of Partner in CPC mode only for all categories in the Dowin catalog, even if certain categories have allowed or currently allow free listing.CPC listings allow Partner to directly control the positioning of the products in the listings, by changing the value of the CPC bid for the categories where the products are listed or for individual products. After the purchase of a Service package, the corresponding amount of credits will be added to the Partner’s account on Dowin. The value of each click-out will be debited from the available credits in the Partner’s account. The amount to be debited for each click-out is calculated based on the CPC bid set by Partner and, simultaneously, on the bids of other Premium partners, according to a specific Dowin algorithm (the debited amount will also depend on the value of the next lower bid).
For categories that include Merchant Products, the products of the Premium Partner may be displayed above the products of other Dowin Partners, within the category listing. The positioning of the products of the Premium Partner is determined by the relevance of the products for the page where they are displayed and by the CPC bid set by the Premium Partner for that product category or for individual products, as follows: if the bid of the Premium Partner is greater than the bid of another Partner, then the products of the Premium Partner will be displayed prevailingly before the products of the Partner with a lower bid, within the same product category. For each click registered in a listing page on a Merchant Product of the Premium Partner, the End User will be redirected to the corresponding product page on the Premium Partner’s website.
The positioning of the Comparable Products of the Premium Partner in the product’s page on Dowin is determined by the CPC bid set by the Premium Partner for the corresponding product category or for individual products, as follows: the Premium Partner’s offer may be listed before the offer of another Partner, even if the Premium Partner’s price for that product is higher, as long as the Premium Partner’s bid is greater than the bid of the Partner offering the product at a lower price.
As consequence of the activation, deactivation of a listing or campaign, as consequence of the activation, deactivation or modification of the CPC bids or as consequence of the direct or indirect influence performed by changes or optimizations of the Dowin algorithms, the modification of the positioning in listings for some products, prevailingly Merchant Products, will be reflected on the Dowin website within at most 24 hours (usually within 1-3 hours). Dowin will debit from the Premium Partner’s account the value of the click-outs, based on the CPC bids that apply to the positions on which the products are displayed at the moment of the click-out.
If a Partner’s listing is suspended and afterwards reactivated, based on a new purchase of a Service package, the products of the Partner may take at most 24 hours to be displayed on the Dowin website again. The 24 hours timeframe is calculated starting with the moment when the Premium Partner correctly sets the necessary CPC bids.
Dowin reserves the right to approve the listing of Partner’s products on more than one Dowin portal in CPC mode only.
