Sponsorship Regulations

Welcome to Mimelis' sponsored spaces! Below you will find information on how our platform ("Platform") works and the rules applicable to advertisers who feature their brand in our sponsored spaces, which we will refer to as the "Sponsorship Regulations." These regulations are part of our Terms of Use . By subscribing to a sponsorship package, you agree to these regulations, our Terms of Use, and our Privacy Policy .

1. Purpose and scope

   Sponsorship is a service developed, operated, and administered by the Swiss company Mimelis SA, the sole legal entity. Any reference to "Mimelis" in these regulations should be understood as a reference to Mimelis SA.

   These regulations govern the subscription, use, and management of sponsored spaces, as well as the rights and obligations of advertisers. Any company, organization, or individual subscribing to sponsorship accepts these regulations without reservation.

2. Sponsorship presentation

   Sponsorship allows advertisers to showcase their brand in dedicated spaces on the Platform, displayed when visitors browse products and businesses by category, city, or canton. This is a targeted visibility service; it does not constitute a ranking of sales results, nor a guarantee of commercial outcome.

3. Definitions

   Here are some important definitions:

   • Advertiser : any company, organization or individual who subscribes to the sponsorship.
   • Brand : the identity highlighted by the advertiser (name, logo, color, link).
   • Announcement : the presence of a brand in a targeted location (category, city or canton).
   • Sponsored space : the area of ​​the Platform that displays the ads.
   • Visibility level : Standard level or Enhanced Visibility, chosen location by location.
   • Targeting : selecting the categories, cities or cantons in which to appear.
   • Subscription : the monthly commitment that includes all of the advertiser's active ads.
   • Verification : checking the advertiser's account and each brand before going live.
   • Cockpit : the private space where the advertiser manages their brands, ads, subscription and invoices.

4. Eligibility requirements

   Sponsorship is now open:

   • to any company, organization, institution or foundation;
   • to individuals;
   • whether or not they sell on Mimelis, and without it being necessary to be eligible to sell on the Platform.

   Subscription requires account creation. The advertiser remains responsible for the accuracy of the information provided.

5. How ads work

   1. The advertiser composes their coverage by selecting one or more categories, cities or cantons.
   2. For each location, he chooses a level of visibility: Standard or Enhanced Visibility.
   3. The link associated with the brand may point to the advertiser's website, their Mimelis store, or their producer page.
   4. A single brand can cover multiple locations, and a single account can manage multiple brands, each with its own identity.

6. Verification and online publication

   1. During the subscription process, a payment method is registered but no amount is debited. The advertisement then enters the verification phase.
   2. Mimelis checks the advertiser's account as well as each brand (including the name, logo and link).
   3. The first payment is only made once the account and at least one brand have been validated. The subscription then starts and the first invoice is issued.
   4. Until a brand or account is validated, the relevant ads are not displayed publicly.
   5. Mimelis reserves the right to request corrections, hide, or refuse an advertisement. Account rejection (for example, in the case of illegal content or a competitive situation) results in the cancellation of the subscription, without charge.
   6. Any modification to the content of a brand already online (including the name, logo, or link) will place it back under review and temporarily hide it until it is re-validated. The subscription remains active and continues to be billed during this period.

7. Subscription and billing

   1. The sponsorship subscription is monthly, with no commitment and can be cancelled at any time.
   2. It groups together all of the advertiser's active ads; its amount depends on the placements and visibility levels chosen.
   3. The applicable rates are presented to the advertiser at the time of subscription and any modification.
   4. If an ad is added or a customer moves to a higher tier during the billing period, billing is prorated until the next billing cycle. Ad deletion or downgrading takes effect at the beginning of the following billing cycle.
   5. Any amount due, or for which an invoice has been issued, remains due and non-refundable for the current period, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
   6. The advertiser can view their entire billing history from their Cockpit.

8. Payment methods

   1. The advertiser pays for their subscription by credit card or any other payment method offered on the Platform (for example, Twint). Some methods may not be available depending on the advertiser's profile.
   2. The Platform uses the secure payment provider Stripe. Payment processing services are provided by Stripe and are subject to Stripe's Terms of Service . By subscribing, the advertiser agrees to be bound by this agreement and authorizes Mimelis SA to transmit to Stripe the information necessary for payment processing.
   3. By choosing an automatic payment method, the advertiser expressly authorizes Mimelis SA to debit the registered payment method for the amount due, including any additional amount resulting from a change to the subscription. This authorization remains valid as long as an active payment method is maintained or until its express revocation, subject to any outstanding amounts.

9. Default on payment

   1. In case of failure or non-payment, Mimelis may suspend or hide the relevant advertisements.
   2. The amounts due remain payable despite any suspension. No refunds or compensation are granted for periods of suspension.
   3. Mimelis SA reserves the right to take any necessary measures to recover amounts owed in accordance with Swiss law.

10. Subscription modification

    1. The advertiser can modify their subscription at any time from their Cockpit (adding or removing placements, changing visibility levels, managing their brands).
    2. Any modification resulting in an additional amount will lead to the issuance of an invoice and, where applicable, to an automatic debit.
    3. No refunds, credits, or compensation are given for subscription reductions or ad removals for the current period.

11. Content, responsibility and transparency

    1. The advertiser is solely responsible for the accuracy, legality and updating of its brand content (name, logo, visuals, color, link).
    2. He guarantees that he holds all rights to the elements provided and that these do not infringe on the rights of third parties.
    3. The link associated with the brand must point to a legitimate page related to the advertiser's business.
    4. Mimelis reserves the right to verify, request corrections, hide or refuse any content deemed misleading, illegal or inappropriate.

12. Termination

    1. The advertiser can terminate their subscription at any time from their Cockpit, subject to compliance with current financial obligations.
    2. The cancellation takes effect at the end of the current subscription period; the ads remain visible until that date.
    3. Termination does not entail the reimbursement of sums already paid and does not release the advertiser from amounts due for the current period.

13. Availability and limitations of liability

    Access to sponsored areas, the Cockpit, and associated tools depends on technical systems and third-party providers. Mimelis SA cannot be held liable for temporary interruptions, technical failures, delays, or indirect damages resulting from the use of the services. Mimelis makes every effort to ensure service continuity but does not guarantee uninterrupted access.

14. Intellectual property

    1. All elements of the Platform (content, visuals, software, Mimelis trademarks) remain the exclusive property of Mimelis SA and are protected by applicable legislation.
    2. The advertiser retains the rights to its own brand and content, and grants Mimelis SA the non-exclusive right to display them in sponsored spaces as part of the service.

15. Contact

    All contacts relating to sponsorship must be made through the means of communication offered by the Platform, in particular via the contact form available on the website: contact , or in response to any email sent by Mimelis.
