Language. If translated, the English version governs.

26) ​​PPC / Media Spend Payments

  1. Mode of Payment Restriction

    • All payments for Pay-Per-Click (“PPC”) campaigns and media spends (including but not limited to Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Programmatic DSP buys, and any other paid advertising platforms) cannot be made through Blustream’s online payment gateways (such as credit/debit card processors, UPI links, or other automated collection mechanisms embedded in our website).

  2. Permissible Payment Methods
    Clients wishing to engage Blustream for PPC/media buying must ensure that such spends are funded through one of the following methods only:

    • Direct Funding to Platform: The Client shall maintain ownership of advertising accounts and directly pre-fund the respective ad platforms (e.g., Google Ads Wallet, Meta Business Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager) with their own payment method. Blustream will be provided appropriate access to execute campaigns.

    • Bank Transfer to Blustream: In cases where Blustream is managing campaign funds on behalf of the Client, the Client shall transfer the approved media budget directly into Blustream’s designated bank account via NEFT/RTGS/IMPS, or any other approved offline transfer method. Blustream will then allocate such funds exclusively towards the intended campaigns, in accordance with the agreed media plan.

  3. Rationale for Restriction
    This restriction is implemented to:

    • Ensure compliance with advertising platform billing policies.

    • Avoid misclassification of PPC/media spend as service income when processed through automated payment gateways.

    • Provide a clear audit trail and financial transparency for both Blustream and the Client.

    • Prevent delays, double charges, or failed transactions that are common when routing PPC/media budgets through generic gateways.

  4. Non-Refundable Nature of PPC Budgets

    • All PPC/media budgets transferred to Blustream or directly funded to advertising platforms are non-refundable once committed or spent, irrespective of campaign performance or outcome.

    • Clients acknowledge that PPC outcomes are influenced by external factors (such as bidding environments, competition, platform algorithms, and seasonality) that are beyond Blustream’s control, and therefore refunds or chargebacks will not be entertained for PPC budgets.

  5. Client Responsibility

    • Clients are solely responsible for ensuring timely funding of PPC/media budgets to prevent campaign interruptions.

    • In the event of insufficient or delayed funding, Blustream shall not be liable for missed opportunities, reduced performance, or campaign downtime.

  6. Blustream’s Role

    • Blustream acts as a service provider to plan, manage, and optimize campaigns but does not act as a financial intermediary for PPC spends except where explicitly agreed in writing.

    • Any media budget transferred to Blustream’s bank account will be used exclusively for the Client’s campaigns as per the agreed media plan, and utilization reports will be shared for transparency.
