Placement of your Listing(s) on the Pay Group International Pty Ltd Sites and ranking of each of your Listing(s) shall be determined by a combination of the following factors: (i) your Maximum CPC for the Selected Keyword and (ii) the click volume a Listing has received in comparison to the Listings of other advertisers selecting the same keyword. The CPC rate for a Selected Keyword will fluctuate due to advertisers continuously submitting CPC rates for such Selected Keyword, and, as a result, so will the placement and ranking of your listing. You acknowledge and agree that Pay Group International Pty Ltd does not guarantee that your Listing will be displayed in the Sponsored Results in response to a search for your Selected Keyword, and that Pay Group International Pty Ltd disclaims any warranty regarding the location and/or prominence of your Listing(s) on the Pay Group International Pty Ltd Sites.

In order to submit your Listing for distribution on the Pay Group International Pty Ltd Sites in response to a Selected Keyword, you must enter a CPC greater than or equal to the Minimum CPC at the time of submission.

8. Maximum CPC. When you choose a CPC rate for a Selected Keyword that will result in the display of your Listing, you will be asked to choose an amount greater than or equal to the Minimum CPC called the "Maximum CPC."

The Maximum CPC represents the maximum you are willing to pay for clicks to your Listing as a result of Keyword Targeting.

9. Actual CPC. The Actual CPC is the rate that will be used in billing you. Pay Group International Pty Ltd will automatically reduce your Maximum CPC so that the Actual CPC you are charged is one cent (US $0.01) higher than the minimum cost per click necessary to keep your position on the page.

10. Fluctuating Rates. The Minimum CPC for a Selected Keyword will constantly fluctuate due to other advertisers submitting CPC rates for the same Selected Keyword, and therefore, the Actual CPC will also fluctuate. The CPC rate you submit along with the volume of clicks on your Listing will determine the placement and ranking of your Listing on the Pay Group International Pty Ltd Sites.

11. Advertiser Responsibilities. You are solely responsible for any content you select or provide in connection with the Program, including keywords, target language, descriptive text, misspellings, singular/plural combinations and URLs.
