4. Sticker rules:

What are the advantages? Why do I have to stick stickers on my equipment?
By sticking the sticker(s) on your equipment, you:
1) Receive an additional 10% discount on all future advertisements.
2) Your phone number will be displayed on your equipment
3) Your potential customers can read the QR code from the sticker and see where your equipment is on a map of Latvia at a given time.

The sticker will look like this.

How it works:

4.1 From your profile, after posting 1 ad, you will be able to order 1 free sticker by specifying the phone number that will be on the sticker and the delivery address. We will send you the sticker by Omniva or DPD. Once you receive the sticker, you will need to apply the sticker to your equipment and have it photographed. You will send us a clear picture of the sticker on your equipment from your profile to [email protected].
We will give you a 10% discount code which you can use when placing ads in the future.
The discount applies to all future adverts.
The 10% discount code only works when placing an ad from your own profile. When placing an ad from another profile, the 10% discount code will not work.
You can stick stickers not only on tractors, mini excavators etc... but also on containers, toilets, generators.
You can order free stickers and get a 10% discount code only after 1 advert placement.

Questions and answers:
a) What if I stick stickers on, take a picture, send you pictures of the machines with stickers and then rip them off? 
Your 10% discount will still be active, but you will lose your phone number that was on the stickers. Moreover, your customers will not know about geotraktors.lv and where your equipment is at the moment.
b) If my stickers come off in the future, will I be able to get them again? 
Yes, but only for a fee. You can choose the size and quantity you need.
