During the Term Adsione may offer additional services beyond those described herein. Fees for such services will be shown in the Platform user interface. In addition, to the extent that User requests Adsione’s help to manage campaigns and/or to use the Services, whether such requests are verbal or in writing, User consents to the actions that Adsione performs on its behalf.
