3. Obligations of the Content provider

The Content provider places the Content on the Equipment itself, or delivers the Content to IT Jedan in time for it to be placed on the Equipment.

The Content provider bears responsibility for the Content it has placed, and undertakes that it complies with all applicable regulations and with the agreement it has concluded with IT Jedan.

In line with its business policy and at its own discretion and business judgement, the Content provider promotes at its own expense the Telecommunications services related to its Content, and informs potential Users about how to access its Content and how to use the Telecommunications service. In doing so, as in all other conduct, the Content provider is obliged to observe in full the provisions of the Electronic Communications Act (“Narodne novine”, no. 73/08) concerning the prohibition on using unsolicited electronic communications for advertising, and to act in every other respect in accordance with that Act and other applicable regulations of the Republic of Croatia.

Under the agreement, the Content provider has undertaken to observe consumer protection regulations when advertising the premium-rate Numbers it has received for use from IT Jedan, and to publish, alongside every advertisement relating to the Content and the premium-rate Numbers it has received for use from IT Jedan, clearly, visibly and legibly and in the same manner as the number itself (font, shape, background, colour…), the price of the service, the name of the Operator of the premium-rate service, and a fixed telephone number for User support, and to act in every other respect in accordance with the Ordinance on the manner and conditions of performing the activity of electronic communications networks and services (“Narodne novine”, no. 154/08), including Annex 5 of that Ordinance entitled “Rules of conduct for operators of premium-rate services”.
If the Content provider has not received from the Croatian Post and Electronic Communications Agency a Certificate of receipt of prior notification that it is on the list of Operators, it must publish, alongside any advertisement for premium-rate numbers leased from IT Jedan, the name of the company IT Jedan d.o.o. as the operator of the premium-rate service, together with a fixed telephone number for User support.

If the Content provider breaches these provisions and is not registered with the Croatian Post and Electronic Communications Agency as an Operator of a premium-rate service, IT Jedan will issue it a warning by e-mail to the address with which it is registered on the website www.it1.hr and require that the breach be remedied. If the Content provider fails to remedy those breaches after repeated warnings, IT Jedan is entitled to charge the Content provider a penalty of €132.72. For every repeated breach of those provisions the penalty is doubled, with no upper limit.

Under the agreement, the Content provider has undertaken not to use unsolicited electronic communications, as defined in the electronic communications regulations, for the purpose of advertising the Content and the premium-rate Numbers it receives for use from IT Jedan.

The Content provider undertakes to ensure that it holds all copyright, or the corresponding authorisations from the authors, relating to the Content.

Under the agreement, the Content provider has undertaken not to use the service itself, on the numbers it has leased from IT Jedan, from telephone lines it does not own or for which it does not have the line owner's permission to use.

On the numbers it leases from IT Jedan, the Content provider is obliged to deliver services that require sending or receiving SMS messages to users exclusively through the SMS channel of IT Jedan, using the functions available in the customer account registered on the website www.it1.hr. If the Content provider uses another SMS channel not belonging to IT Jedan and thereby breaches these provisions, IT Jedan is entitled, without prior warning, to charge the Content provider a penalty of €132.72. For every repeated breach of that provision the penalty is doubled, with no upper limit.

In the event of a breach of the provisions of this section, IT Jedan is entitled, without prior notice, to withhold from the Content provider the use of the premium-rate Numbers, and not to pay out to the Content provider the earnings generated on the premium-rate Numbers, until the extent of the damage IT Jedan has suffered and/or will suffer on account of that breach has been established. IT Jedan is entitled to recover that damage from the earnings generated by the Content provider.

4. Revenue and fees

IT Jedan keeps the settlement of revenue, with the associated fees, that applies to the Content provider in electronic form, together with the records of premium-rate Numbers. Where the delivery of content involves forwarding calls to fixed and/or mobile devices of the Content provider, the Parties agree that the revenue of the Content provider will be reduced by the cost of forwarding, which amounts to:

  • €0.03/min for forwarding calls to national numbers in the Republic of Croatia;
  • €0.07/min for forwarding calls to numbers in mobile networks in the Republic of Croatia;
  • the fee for forwarding calls to numbers outside the Republic of Croatia is agreed separately with the Content provider, depending on the country the call is forwarded to.

Forwarding calls to VPN cards is not charged. A VPN card is leased from IT Jedan. If delivering the content to the End user requires an SMS message to be sent, the revenue of the Content provider will be reduced by the cost of sending the SMS message, amounting to €0.03/sms.

5. Reporting and records of premium-rate Numbers

For the duration of the Agreement with the Content provider, IT Jedan will give the Content provider access to the web pages www.it1.hr, on which it will have a detailed view of the number of SMS messages received, the number of users, and the number of calls established and charged towards the premium-rate Numbers it has on lease.

By the 5th (in words: fifth) day of the month at the latest, IT Jedan will send the Content provider, for the preceding billing period — that is, the preceding month — a settlement of the revenue generated (hereinafter: the Settlement), containing the following data: the number of calls made towards the premium-rate Numbers it has on lease for the preceding billing period, the cost of outgoing calls and SMS messages, the monthly fees, and the total revenue of the Content provider, being the total number of calls/minutes/messages multiplied by the revenue of the Content provider as defined in a separate section of these General terms; the records of premium-rate Numbers form part of that Settlement. The Content provider may dispute the Settlement within 3 (in words: three) days of receiving it together with the records; failing that, it will be deemed to agree in full with the Settlement and with the records of premium-rate Numbers.

IT Jedan delivers its reports in electronic form.

The Parties jointly establish that IT Jedan also keeps, in electronic form, records of the premium-rate Numbers leased by the Content provider — that is, of which the Content provider is the sole and exclusive user — which records include, and are made up in part by, a table of the settlement of revenue and the associated fees for each individual premium-rate Number (hereinafter: the Records). IT Jedan undertakes to provide the Content provider with uninterrupted access to the Records at any time through the customer account of the Content provider on the website www.it1.hr.

6. Settlement and payout of revenue

For calls charged by duration, the billing unit for settling the revenue of the Content provider is 1 (one) second. For numbers charged per call, and for MO SMS numbers, the billing unit is the call received or the SMS message received. For MT SMS numbers the billing unit is an outgoing message successfully charged to the End user.

For the earnings generated, the Content provider issues IT Jedan an invoice dated the last day of the billing period, in the amount stated in the Settlement, payable within 45 days of the date of issue. The Content provider is also entitled to be paid its earnings within 5 (five) days of the last day of the billing period, if it issues an invoice for the amount of the earnings reduced by 5%.

No changes whatsoever are made to the amount of the earnings on account of bank charges, conversion costs, quotas or any other taxes or levies.

If part or all of the earnings are withheld by an Operator or a regulator as the result of an investigation, that part of the revenue will be deducted from the amount to be paid out to the Content provider until the investigation is concluded. The Parties jointly establish that, where there is well-founded suspicion that the Service provider has breached its obligations under the agreement and those breaches may result in misdemeanour and/or criminal prosecution, IT Jedan is entitled not to pay the Service provider its revenue until the misdemeanour and/or criminal proceedings have been finally concluded.

If an investigation proves that the Content provider delivered Content through the premium-rate numbers it leased from IT Jedan in a manner not in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Croatia, the Content provider undertakes to compensate IT Jedan for all damage caused by the investigation and by any penalties.

IT Jedan reserves the right to change a User's earnings if the share of traffic from an individual network in the User's traffic deviates by more than 10% from the average share of that network's quarterly traffic in the total traffic of IT Jedan.
