– B2B Partners, companies or professional entities with screens in their premises and collaborating with MONAMEDIA under an advertising broadcasting contract;
The CG complement, as applicable, 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 implies full and unconditional acceptance of these CG. If the User does not accept all or part of these provisions, it is their responsibility not to access the services.
MONAMEDIA reserves the right to update these CG at any time, in compliance with the rules applicable to each contractual typology.

4. Service description
MONAMEDIA operates a hybrid technological platform, accessible via its website, its mobile application MonaApp, and its professional tools, allowing its Users to generate income or commissions via the broadcasting of advertising content or commercial connections.
4.1 – Broadcasting advertisements on personal or professional screens
The main service of MONAMEDIA consists of allowing the broadcasting of discreet advertising banners ("L-Banners") on televisions connected to a specific box provided or validated by MONAMEDIA.
Each L-Banner corresponds to a ten (10) seconds advertisement, displayed at the bottom of the screen, up to a limit of one minute per hour of actual operation.
This broadcasting opens the right, depending on the User's profile, to variable remuneration determined in the applicable contract.
4.2 – MonaApp application
The MonaApp application allows Users to:
– visualize in real time the performance of their screens;
– check their remuneration or commission balance;
– access their activity history, contractual documents, and complementary features (Watch2Help, MonaMaker sponsorship, customer support).
Using the application requires holding an activated and validated user account.
4.3 – Professional interface and B2B modules
B2B Partners have a dedicated professional access allowing them to:
– manage their screen inventory, check broadcast volumes and associated revenues;
– activate specific commercial options (Monapack, EventPack, StarterPack);
Activating these services requires the prior signing of a specific B2B contract.
4.4 – Unavailable or non-guaranteed services
MONAMEDIA does not ensure the provision of Internet access nor the maintenance of Users' televisions.
The proper functioning of the service depends on the quality of the network connection, the technical compatibility of the equipment, and compliance with installation conditions.

5.2 – Technical compliance and fair use
The User commits to:
– use compatible and properly installed equipment, compliant with MONAMEDIA's specifications;

– not disrupt, alter or circumvent broadcasting, measurement or remuneration mechanisms.
5.3 – Prohibition of fraud and simulation

– diverting tools with emulators, scripts, manipulating software, or unauthorized systems;
– reproducing, copying or hacking the code of the box or the MonaApp.
In case of serious suspicion, MONAMEDIA reserves the right to suspend or deactivate the account, and to claim the restitution of any amounts unduly received.
5.4 – Respect for MONAMEDIA's rights and image

MONAMEDIA reserves the right to suspend or delay any payment in case:
– of well-founded suspicion of fraud, simulation, or manipulation;
