1. Who we are
These terms apply to advertising placements ordered from Olena Staforova, trading as Agency Top1 (advertising agency), Hannah-Arendt-Platz 1/19, 1220 Vienna, Austria ("we", "Agency Top1"). Full legal details are in the Impressum.
2. What we sell
Publication of advertising posts (text, images, video, links) in Telegram groups and channels of the Top1 network, for the number of groups and days agreed with the client. The service is provided digitally; nothing is shipped.
3. Ordering
You send us the ad creative, the countries or groups, and the desired dates via Telegram or e-mail.
We confirm the groups, schedule and price in writing (chat message or e-mail). The order becomes binding when we confirm it and you pay. We may decline any ad that does not meet our content rules, before or after confirmation; in that case any payment already made is refunded in full.
4. Prices and payment
Prices are calculated per group and per day; starting prices are shown in EUR on our website and the exact price for your order is confirmed in writing before payment. We are a small business under Austrian VAT law (§ 6 (1) 27 UStG); no VAT is added. Full payment (100 %) is due in advance, by bank transfer against our invoice or by card via Stripe. Posting is scheduled only after payment is received. Bank charges of the sender are borne by the sender.
5. Delivery
Posting starts on the agreed date, or within 1 business day after we receive payment and the approved creative, whichever is later. After each post you receive a link. If we fail to publish a paid post on a scheduled day, you choose either a replacement day or a pro-rata refund for that day. This is the only case in which a partial refund is made after the start of a placement.
6. Reserved slots, cancellation and refunds
Our services are addressed to businesses and self-employed persons. When we confirm your order, we reserve publication slots in the selected groups for the whole period and plan other clients' placements around them. Therefore:
- Cancellation before the first post has been published: full refund.
- Cancellation after the first post has been published: no refund for the remaining days. Reserved slots cannot be resold at short notice.
- Removal of a post by Telegram or by a group's moderators because the ad violates the platform rules or our content rules is not a reason for a refund.
- Refunds, where due, are made to the original payment method within 14 days; card refunds via Stripe may take 5-10 business days to appear.
Consumers: if you exceptionally order as a consumer within the meaning of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal. By asking us to start posting before that period ends, you agree that you owe a proportional amount for the days already published and that the right of withdrawal expires once the service has been fully performed.
7. Your content
You confirm that you own or are licensed to use the texts, images and trademarks in your ad, that the ad is lawful in the countries where it is published, and that it does not infringe third-party rights. You indemnify us against claims arising from your content. We may make minor edits (typos, formatting, language adaptation) and will send you the final text on request.
8. Content rules
We do not publish content that is illegal in the EU, fraudulent or misleading, or that promotes weapons, drugs, adult services, hate or political agitation. Gambling, crypto-assets and financial services require proof of licence. We may refuse any ad without giving reasons.
9. Liability
We are liable for intent and gross negligence. For slight negligence we are liable only up to the amount paid for the affected order. We do not guarantee any specific number of views, clicks or sales.
We are not responsible for outages of Telegram.
10. Complaints and law
Please send complaints to info@agencytop1.com within 7 days of the placement; we answer within 5 business days. Austrian law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Sales Convention.
For consumers, mandatory consumer protection rules of their country of residence remain unaffected.
Place of jurisdiction for businesses: Vienna, Austria.
