Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Ad.Guru website and publisher monetization services (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
1. The Service
Ad.Guru provides publisher monetization: we connect publishers' display, app and video inventory with premium direct demand, Google Ad Exchange (AdX) and Open Bidding demand, and provide reporting through our publisher dashboard. Ad.Guru is a monetization service for publishers only; we do not offer advertiser services, ad operations or consulting.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for activity under your account, and for keeping your dashboard credentials confidential. Publisher sign-in is at dashboard.ad.guru.
3. Publisher obligations
- You must own or control the websites and apps you submit, or be authorized to monetize them;
- You must comply with our Publisher Policy and with Google's publisher and program policies at all times;
- You must maintain a privacy policy on each monetized property that discloses the data collection described in our Cookie Policy;
- You must not engage in or encourage invalid activity, including clicking your own ads, using automated or incentivized clicks or impressions, or obscuring ads.
4. Monetization and payment
Publishers are paid on a CPM basis. Rates depend on inventory type, geography, traffic quality and demand, and the rates, revenue share and payment schedule applicable to your account are set out in your publisher agreement or insertion order with us. Earnings generated through invalid activity, or on properties that breach the Publisher Policy, may be withheld or deducted. You are responsible for taxes on amounts you receive.
5. Intellectual property
The Ad.Guru name, logo, website and technology are owned by us or our licensors. These Terms do not transfer any intellectual property rights to you, and you keep all rights in your own properties and content.
6. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if you breach these Terms or the Publisher Policy, engage in invalid activity, or where required by our demand partners or by law. You may stop using the Service at any time.
7. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee any level of revenue, fill or CPM, uninterrupted operation, or that demand from any particular buyer will be available for your inventory.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amounts we paid you in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses and expenses arising from your properties, your content, or your breach of these Terms or the Publisher Policy.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable there. The courts of British Columbia have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms.
11. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
