Impact Exchange Program™​
Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction
These terms and conditions govern participation in the Impact Exchange Program™ (“the Program”). By enrolling, participants agree to the following terms and conditions, designed to amplify their marketing budget by 24 times through the exchange of unsold products for media space. 

2. Eligibility
The Program is open to businesses that meet the following criteria: 

    • Must have surplus inventory that can be exchanged for media. 
    • Must be compliant with tax regulations (Section 18A) to benefit from tax deductions. 
    • Agree to the valuation process for unsold products or services.

       

3. Program Overview 
The Program enables participants to:  

    • Estimate their excess goods for exchange. 
    • Exchange these products for advertising space, with goods donated to charity. 
    • Amplify their marketing budget by up to 24 times its value, benefitting from substantial tax savings under Section 18A.

       

4. Bonuses: Talent Participation

    • The Greenest package will feature Siya Kolisi as a talent bonus.
    • The Greener package will feature Anele Mdoda as a talent bonus. 


Both talent bonuses are subject to the availability and current work commitments of the respective talent. Green Media will work with all parties to confirm talent participation based on the brand’s alignment with the talent’s
public image and the proposed event timing. Should the talent not be available or choose not to participate with the brand, Green Media will provide alternative talent of similar caliber.

5. Final Confirmation of Talent Bonuses 
Talent participation for both the Greenest and Greener packages is conditional upon: 

    • Final confirmation of talent availability, considering their current work commitments. 
    • Alignment of the brand with the talent’s public image and schedule. 
    • The timing of the proposed charity events. 

Green Media reserves the right to substitute talent if either Siya Kolisi (for the Greenest package) or Anele Mdoda (for the Greener package) is unavailable. In such cases, alternative talent of a similar calibre will be provided. 

6. Exchange Process 
Participants will follow a three-step process: 

    • Estimate: Identify and submit the details of unsold products to be traded. 
    • Exchange: Upon valuation approval, these products are exchanged for advertising space. 
    • Amplify: The marketing budget is amplified by up to 24 times through the media space provided by Green Media. 

Green Media will arrange logistics for media placement, but participants are responsible for the direct delivery of goods to charities. 

7. Valuation and Media Allocation 

    • Goods are valued at 25% of their retail price for the purpose of calculating tax benefits. 
    • The cost of sales is estimated at 25% of the retail price, and this will reduce the taxable income accordingly. 
    • All calculations are for demonstration purposes only. Results may vary depending on individual circumstances. 


8. Tax Benefits
 
Participants are entitled to Section 18A tax deductions on donated products: 

    • The maximum deduction is 10% of taxable income. 
    • Any donations exceeding this limit can be classified as a marketing expense, with no cap. 
    • It is the participant’s responsibility to ensure compliance with tax regulations. 


9. Fees and Costs
 

    • The Program has no participation fee, but participants are responsible for the cost of delivering products to designated charities. 
    • Additional media fees may apply based on the media package selected and any customisation beyond Green Media’s inventory. 


10. Return on Cost (ROC)
 

    • Return on Cost (ROC) is estimated and may vary depending on individual circumstances. 
    • Estimated returns range from 24x to 29x depending on the package and tax savings achieved. 


11. Guarantee
 
Green Media guarantees the effectiveness of the Impact Exchange Program™. If the expected tax benefits are not realised, Green Media will involve accounting experts at no additional cost to the participant to advise the brand where advisable. 

12. Program Limitations 

    • Media space is subject to availability, and Green Media reserves the right to adjust the media allocation based on its current inventory. 
    • Participation is capped by available media inventory and donation limits per SARS Section 18A regulations. 
    • Green Media is not liable for indirect or incidental losses from participation in the Program, including performance or sales outcomes of products advertised. 


13. Termination
 

    • The Program operates on an ongoing basis, and either party may terminate participation with 30 days’ written notice. 
    • Termination will not affect ongoing exchanges or commitments made under the Program. 


14. Confidentiality
 
Both parties agree to maintain confidentiality regarding the terms of specific exchanges, media placements, and valuations unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. 

15. Governing Law 
These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa. Any disputes will be resolved through arbitration, with a mutually agreed arbitrator. 

16. Amendments 
Green Media reserves the right to amend these terms with 30 days’ notice provided to participants.
