2. Scope of application
These General Terms (the “GT”) govern access to, use of and the operating terms of the MONAMEDIA platform as operated by MONAMEDIA.
They apply, without restriction or reservation, to any person accessing the platform, and in particular to the following categories of Users:
– B2C Customers, individuals using a personal television to display advertising banners via the MONAMEDIA box; – B2B Partners, companies or professional entities with screens on their premises collaborating with MONAMEDIA under an advertising distribution contract;
The GT supplement, as the case may be, the specific contracts concluded between MONAMEDIA and the User (B2C Contract, B2B Contract, or Contract), which prevail in the event of contradiction.
Access to and use of the platform presuppose full and unconditional acceptance of these GT. If the User does not accept all or part of these provisions, they must not access the services.
MONAMEDIA reserves the right to update these GT at any time, in accordance with the rules applicable to each contractual typology.
3. Access to the service
Access to the services offered by MONAMEDIA is subject to the following criteria, which vary according to the User’s profile.
3.1 – General eligibility conditions
Every User must: – have the legal capacity to contract; – accept without reservation these GT and, where applicable, the specific contractual conditions applicable to them; – provide accurate, verifiable and up-to-date information when registering or activating their account; – not have been previously excluded from the MONAMEDIA platform for contractual breach or fraudulent behaviour.
3.2 – Access for B2C Customers
Access to the service is reserved for adults residing in France or Monaco, with a compatible television and a stable Internet connection. The B2C Customer must activate their box via the MonaApp application and accept the remuneration terms provided in the B2C contract.

The B2B Partner must be a registered legal entity, have one or more screens in a professional setting, and sign a specific contract with MONAMEDIA.

The customer may at any time subscribe to complementary services (StarterPack, Monapack, EventPack or any future offer) either online or through a duly authorised representative. This subscription is autonomous and is not conditioned on activation or use of Monamedia hardware.

Suspension gives rise to no indemnity, subject to specific contractual provisions applicable to the relevant profile.
4. Description of the service
MONAMEDIA operates a hybrid technology platform, accessible via its website, its MonaApp mobile application and its professional tools, enabling its Users to generate revenue or commissions through the distribution of advertising content or commercial introductions.
4.1 – Distribution of advertisements on personal or professional screens
MONAMEDIA’s main service consists in enabling the distribution of discreet advertising banners (“L-Banners”) on televisions connected to a specific box supplied or validated by MONAMEDIA. Each L-Banner corresponds to a ten (10) second advertisement, displayed at the bottom of the screen, limited to one minute per hour of actual operating time.
This distribution entitles, depending on the User’s profile, to variable remuneration determined in the applicable contract.
4.2 – MonaApp application
The MonaApp application enables Users to: – view the performance of their screens in real time; – consult the balance of their remuneration or commissions; – access their activity history, contractual documents and complementary features (Watch2Help, MonaMaker referral, customer support).

4.3 – Professional interface and B2B modules
B2B Partners have dedicated professional access enabling them to: – manage their screen fleet, consult distributed volumes and related revenues; – activate specific commercial options (Monapack, EventPack, StarterPack);
Activation of these services requires prior signature of a specific B2B contract.
4.4 – Excluded or non-guaranteed services
MONAMEDIA does not provide Internet access nor maintain Users’ televisions. Proper functioning of the service depends on network connection quality, technical compatibility of equipment, and compliance with installation conditions.
MONAMEDIA reserves the right to modify, suspend or withdraw certain features, provided it informs the Users concerned within a reasonable time.

The User undertakes to: – use compatible and correctly installed equipment, conforming to MONAMEDIA’s specifications; – keep their box powered, connected and functional, except in cases of force majeure or technical incident beyond their control; – not disrupt, alter or circumvent distribution, measurement or remuneration mechanisms.

In the event of serious suspicion, MONAMEDIA reserves the right to suspend or deactivate the account and to claim restitution of sums unduly received.

B2C and B2B Users receive variable remuneration calculated according to: – the number of duly registered active screens; – the effective volume of advertising banners (L-Banners) distributed per hour; – the operating duration of the screens; – and compliance with the contractual and technical obligations defined by MONAMEDIA.

Suspension does not constitute a waiver, but a temporary freeze pending verification.
6.5 – Tax and reporting responsibility
Each User is solely responsible for tax, social and reporting obligations related to the sums they receive. MONAMEDIA does not issue payslips, make any withholding, or file any declaration in place of its Users. Where applicable, an annual summary may be generated for information via MonaApp.
