CitrusAd Network Agreement

Version 1.0 Effective on and from 1st September 2019

​

These terms and conditions and the Customer Agreement govern the use of Citrus’ online advertising platform as described in Section 1 and known as the CitrusAd Grocery Network (CitrusAd Network). Capitalized terms used in these terms and conditions are defined in Section 12.

​

The following provisions may be subject to consumer protection laws, which may limit the ability to exclude liability or may imply warranties or conditions or impose obligations which cannot be modified, restricted, or excluded (except to a limited extent). Any disclaimer of warranties and liability limitations applies subject to any rights Customers may have under such laws.

​

1. Introduction

Citrus is an online advertising platform that facilitates the sale of Ads, including sponsored products and display media located on Customer websites to Advertisers. Citrus performs this service by providing an application programming interface (API) to Customers, so that Customers may send and receive information, including the requesting of Ads from Citrus in a scalable and predictable fashion.

​

Customers may also use the platform to serve any of its own content including sponsored products, display ads or any other form of electronic ad that has been served by the Citrus system.

​

For Advertisers, Citrus provides access to a web-based portal located at https://us.citrusad.co where Ad campaigns can be created and published to selected Customer websites. Ads that are sent to a Customer from the CitrusAd Network are on a request-only basis, meaning that the CitrusAd Network will never send content to a Customer site without the Customer initiating the request and approving all content prior to it being served.

​

To ensure the content that the CitrusAd Network provides to an End Consumer is relevant, Customers will use the Citrus API to send information about the page type and the number of Ads desired when requesting Ads. This could include (i) information about the End Consumer, (ii) information about the webpage being displayed to the End Consumer (e.g., the department and sub-department ID or search term) and (iii) information regarding the type and number of ads that are required (e.g. 5 x sponsored products, 1 x single tile banner and 1 x 1440px tall x 200px wide banner graphic).

​

The CitrusAd Network uses a proprietary method to define which Ads are most relevant to send to End Consumers based on two core components:

​

(a) Relevancy – the CitrusAd Network ranks each product in its system according to its relevancy to the ad request being generated by the Customer. At the most basic level, the CitrusAd Network filters out ads from non-relevant departments, ensuring that the user experience of the website is not affected. The CitrusAd Network then uses a series of proprietary methods to define further relevancy of a product including whether it matches the price range of the End Consumer, whether it (or a product with similar attributes) has been purchased by the End Consumer before, its percentage of market-share (popularity) as well as CitrusAd Network generated (ad performance) metrics such as its click through and conversion rates.

​

(b) Financial Auction – Once an Ad has been scored for relevancy, the Ad must meet minimum relevancy criteria in order to enter the auction part of the Ad generation process. This prevents irrelevant Ads with large bid prices being shown to End Consumers. Each Ad will enter the auction with a relevancy score. The CitrusAd Network then multiplies the Ad’s relevancy score by its maximum bid price (set by the Advertiser in the Citrus Portal) to give each Ad a quality score.  Ads are then ranked highest to lowest and sent to the End Consumer in the form of product code (GTIN, UPC) or image URL (or sets of image URL’s for native tile ads) via the API. Full documentation on how ads are requested and how ads are returned to Customer websites can be found at https://developers.citrusad.com

​

It is important to note that the CitrusAd Network returns ads to Customer websites via a Customer initiated request only, putting Customers in full control of what, how, and when Ads are requested and where Ads are displayed. Customers may also send optional contextual information to the CitrusAd Network to ensure that the Ads returned are relevant. This includes, but is not limited to, store location, product inventory, product availability, department structures, product prices, product attributes, unidentifiable customer information such as gender, age, postcode and purchasing history, information and specifications of any graphic based ads, and any sales data related to Ads generated by the CitrusAd Network.​
