For the deal to activate, the targeting conditions set in the publisher's deal and the targeting conditions set in the Marketplace Package must be met. For example, if a publisher is targeting Canada or the United States in the deal, and you are targeting France in the Marketplace Package, the conditions that would activate the deal would be Canada OR the United States AND France. It is recommended that you check your targeting settings with the publisher's deal settings to make sure that the deal can activate.
