It is usually necessary that the partner integrates a tracking link in his advertisement on the partner site. The selection of the tracking tool used is made in the sole reasonable discretion of hi!share.that. Based on the tracking result, hi!share.that creates a campaign report and makes it available to the partner on the platform.

However, if the reasons for the discrepancy cannot be resolved within 14 days, the Campaign Report shall be deemed authoritative.

Unpaid coins are valid for 18 months and expire if the minimum amount that can be paid out has not been reached by then.
  10. The payout to the Partner will be made in Euro. The hi!share.that conversion rate of the US dollar value of the Coins into the Euro value for the payout is determined by hi!share.that in its sole reasonable discretion and displayed to the Partner on the hi!share.that website. hi!share.that is guided by the official exchange rates published by the European Central Bank. hi!share.that regularly adjusts the hi!share.that conversion rate, but it does not reflect the official exchange rate.
  11. For payouts, the hi!share.that conversion rate in effect on the payment date is applied to the total payout amount.
