9.1. The Operator uses, inter alia, the following additional distribution channels and potential affiliate programmes through which The Operator markets the products (goods) offered by the Client: third-party PPC advertising systems, online display advertising, third-party social networks and e-mailing services (direct e-mail marketing).

9.3. A combination of two (2) basic factors determines the order of offers in the product catalogue on the Website: the qualitative customer rating of a product (goods) offered by the Client within the service, and the amount of the Provider’s fee per click as set by the Client in its user account (Art. 5.2). The qualitative customer rating of a specific product offered by the Client within the service corresponds to customers’ interest in the product, which is determined based on the product click rate, the popularity of the product among the customers, the price of the product, availability of the product, the Client’s delivery time for the product, and other parameters. A higher qualitative rating of a product offered by the Client translates to a better ranking among the products offered in the product catalogue on the Website. A higher Operator’s fee per click set by the Client in its user account (Art. 5.2) translates to a better ranking in the product catalogue on the Website. The Operator thus offers the possibility to influence ranking against a direct remuneration in the framework of the service.
9.4. The Operator offers no ancillary goods or services to consumers in the sense of Article 6 of Regulation 2019/1150.

9.7. The Operator has access to any personal data or other data, or both, which users provide for the use of the service or which are generated through the provision of those services. Specifically, the Operator has access to e-mail addresses and names of users who subscribed for the newsletter on the Website and to information on the use of these addresses for marketing purposes. The Operator collects the data independently of its relationship with the Client (the data are collected through the Website). The data under the previous sentence are transferred to third parties as this is necessary for the provision of marketing services to the Operator by the third parties. The Client has access to the Client’s identification details entered in the information system and to statistical data in the information system for the service billing.
9.8. The Operator does not restrict the ability of the Client to offer the same products (goods) and services to consumers (users) under different conditions through other means than through the service.
9.9. The Operator’s easily accessible and charge-free internal system for handling of the Client’s complaints in the sense of Article 11 of Regulation 2019/1150 is available at https://help.favionline.com.
