• the data is incorrect, resulting in a hard bounce from a mailing;
• there is fraud, for example, by the Media used in the Campaign. Fraud only exists if the Advertiser can demonstrate it through a fraud report or fraud software from a reliable and competent third party, indicating that fraud has occurred through one of the Media.

8.4 If Wuzzon provides Lead data as a result of the Action, Advertiser is only authorized to use the Lead data for the purpose agreed upon in writing in the Agreement and will comply with all agreed-upon conditions, restrictions, and powers from the Agreement (including these General Terms and Conditions).

8.7 Wuzzon is entitled (but not obliged) to add test addresses to the Lead data with which unauthorized use can be detected. If the use of these test addresses shows that the Advertiser does not comply with the Agreement (including these General Terms and Conditions), the full proof of its attributable failure has been provided, unless evidence to the contrary is provided by the Advertiser.

8.8 If the Advertiser acts in violation of articles 5.6, 7.4, 7.5, 8.4 till 8.6, 9.11 and 14, he will automatically incur, by operation of law, a contractual penalty to Wuzzon that is not subject to moderation or set-off, amounting to € 15,000,– (fifteen thousand euros) per violation and for each day or part thereof that the non-compliance continues, without prejudice to Wuzzon’s right to compensation for the damage suffered and to be suffered by it and without prejudice to any other right it may have.
