This includes the serving, tracking and reporting of each Campaign made on the websites of the Adworld Media Corp network of publishers (the “Network”).
2. Traffic
NO EMAIL PROMOTION ALLOWED:
Because of our inability to monitor compliance with the requirements of the “Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003” or the “CAN-SPAM Act of 2003” (the “Act”), we will not accept, under any circumstances, any referrals which are sent to us from email promotions or marketing, irrespective of whether the email promotion complies with the requirements of the Act or not. Therefore, any affiliates that attempt to promote our program through email marketing directly or through webpages promoted by email marketing will be automatically terminated without pay.
You may not send traffic from a non-approved website.
You may not send traffic from web pages that contain, promote or refer to child pornography, rape, bestiality, hatred, racism, violence, warez, mp3, password trading or from webpages that link to other sites that contain or promote aforesaid.
Publishers are responsible for maintaining their site according to the laws of their county/state/country and no site may contain any material that infringes upon any copyright laws.
Any attempt to generate impressions or clicks artificially or falsify click uniqueness will be detected by our systems. If you employ such tactics your account will be terminated, you will not be paid, and you will be blacklisted for life. In some cases we will take legal action against persons intentionally attempting to defraud PremierBlind.
If you intend to send impressions from within a password protected area, you must provide us with means of access (e.g. usernames and/or passwords). The means of access must be valid at any time we choose during the period in which you send traffic from these areas.
3. USE POLICY
(a) Membership: Membership in the Network is subject to prior approval of Adworld Media Corp. Adworld Media Corp reserves the right to refuse service to any new or existing Publisher for any reason, in its sole discretion. Approval of membership in the Network is limited only to the specific root URLs (the “Websites”) for which Publisher has applied for approval by Adworld Media Corp. Adworld Media Corp reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without liability to Adworld Media Corp, to reject, omit or exclude any Publisher or Website for any reason at any time (including, without limitation, if a Website’s text is in a foreign language), with or without notice to the Publisher and regardless of whether such Publisher or Website was previously accepted. Without limiting the foregoing, Adworld Media Corp reserves the right to require potential or existing publishers to submit detailed descriptions or explanations of the Publisher’s website(s) or application(s) functionality and backend technology through a questionnaire or survey. Refusal to participate or answers deemed unsatisfactory constitutes grounds for non-acceptance or termination from the network. In addition, in all Websites in the Network must maintain a privacy statement acceptable to Adworld Media Corp. If Publisher is an individual, Publisher must be at least 18 years of age.
(b) Representation: Publisher represents and warrants that the Websites: (1) are owned by or licensed to Publisher and Publisher has the right to use the entire contents and subject matter contained in the Websites; (2) do not violate any law, statute, ordinance, treaty or regulation; (3) do not infringe in any manner any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party; (4) do not breach any duty toward or rights of any person or entity including, without limitation, rights of publicity or privacy, and have not otherwise resulted in or are not likely to result in any consumer fraud, product liability, tort, breach of contract, injury, damage or harm of any kind to any person or entity; (5) are not false, deceptive or misleading; (6) are not defamatory, libelous, slanderous or threatening; and (7) are free of viruses, Trojan horses, trap doors, back doors, Easter eggs, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, “spyware” and other computer programming routines that may potentially damage, interfere with, intercept, or expropriate any system, data or personal information. Publisher also represents, warrants and covenants that: (i) Publisher has the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) Publisher shall not be in violation of any obligation, contract or agreement by entering into this Agreement, by performing its obligations hereunder or by authorizing and permitting Adworld Media Corp to perform the services hereunder; (iii) Publisher shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as amended from time to time; (iv) all information provided by Publisher to Adworld Media Corp or posted on the Websites by Publisher is truthful, accurate and complete, and is not misleading in any way; (v) Adworld Media Corp is hereby authorized by Publisher to perform all the services described hereunder with respect to Publisher and the Websites; (vi) upon request by Adworld Media Corp, Publisher shall promptly provide a written statement in form acceptable to Adworld Media Corp confirming Adworld Media Corp’s authority hereunder; and (vii) Publisher shall not upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any content, material, data, work, designation, trade or service mark, tradename, link, advertising or services that actually or potentially (a) violates any applicable law or regulation, including, without limitation, false advertising or unfair competition under the law of any jurisdiction, (b) infringes or misappropriates any proprietary, intellectual property, contract or tort right of any person, or (c) to a reasonable person, may be abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy, harassing, threatening, malicious, otherwise objectionable or in way derogatory about Adworld Media Corp or any other party. Publisher grants Adworld Media Corp and the customer the right and license to transmit the Creatives to the Websites.
(c) Termination: Adworld Media Corp reserves the right to terminate any Publisher’s relationship with the Network at any time, with or without cause, including, without limitation, for reasons set forth in Section 2(e) below. Termination notice may be provided in person or via email, facsimile or mail (either regular mail or overnight courier) and will be effective immediately upon receipt. Upon receipt of such termination notice, Publisher agrees to immediately remove from the Websites any and all of Adworld Media Corp’s software code supplied to Publisher for serving Creatives from Adworld Media Corp or otherwise (collectively, the “Adworld Media Corp Code”). Publisher will be paid, in the next scheduled payment cycle following termination, all legitimate, non-fraudulently accrued, earnings due up to the time of termination. Upon termination all ties to referrals will be permanently severed and Publisher will not receive nor be entitled to receive future referral commissions hereunder.
(d) Content: Adworld Media Corp reserves the absolute right to refuse to affiliate with any Publisher. Adworld Media Corp does not accept Websites that engage in, promote or facilitate illegal or legally questionable activities such as pirating and hacking. This Agreement is voidable by Adworld Media Corp immediately if Publisher fails to disclose, conceals or misrepresents itself in any way. In addition, Adworld Media Corp may in its sole discretion refuse to serve any Website that it deems inappropriate. To insure compliance with this Agreement, any Publishers that change their content after approval for membership MUST notify Adworld Media Corp of the changes in writing IMMEDIATELY. Notices should be sent to members@adworldmedia.com.
(e) Traffic: Adworld Media Corp reserves the right to terminate Publisher’s relationship with Adworld Media Corp immediately should either (a) the number of Impressions delivered by Publisher total less than 2,500 per month, or (b) the unique Click Through Rate equals .25% or less for any fourteen (14) consecutive calendar day period, or (c) Publisher’s traffic falls below the threshold established by Adworld Media Corp from time to time. Adworld Media Corp reserves the right to change the minimum CTR at any time in response to market pressures.
(f) Defaults: Publisher acknowledges and agrees that Adworld Media Corp may not be able to fill 100% of advertising requests sent to its servers with paying ads. Adworld Media Corp provides free Publisher-defined default redirects expressly for this reason. Publisher-defined defaults ads must adhere to the content guidelines outlined for all Adworld Media Corp Advertisers. Publishers found using default ads that violate the content restrictions of the Customer Agreement will be removed from the network. If Publisher chooses not to specify a default redirect, Adworld Media Corp will display so-called ‘house’ and/or ‘AdCouncil’ ads on Publisher’s website when paid advertising is unavailable. Adworld Media Corp may also display so-called ‘house’ and/or ‘AdCouncil’ ads on Publisher’s Websites when technical difficulties require it. So-called ‘house’ and ‘AdCouncil’ ads are not paid advertising. Under no circumstances does Adworld Media Corp guarantee to provide any percent fill of paid advertising to a Website.
(g) Placement: Publisher shall be solely responsible for placing Creatives on the Websites, which placement shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Creative may be placed on any root URL not specifically approved by Adworld Media Corp for membership within the Network. Banner, Leaderboard, Skyscraper, and Wide Skyscraper Creatives must be placed within 600 pixels of the top of the Webpage (above the page scroll/fold). Adworld Media Corp pop-under or pop-up windows cannot be launched from websites that launch more than a total of two pop windows, including the Adworld Media Corp pop-under. Placement on multiple exit pop and console windows are expressly forbidden and payment will be withheld. Skyscrapers or wide skyscrapers and half page formats cannot be placed on the same page. Text Ads are limited to a total of seven text links per page in any combination of stand alone and/or multiple links. No Publisher will place ads on blank pages, on pages with no content, on top of one another, on non-approved Websites, or in such a fashion that may be deceptive to the visitor, or are designed simply to falsely create page view impressions. Creatives cannot be placed in email messages. In-page Creatives (Banners, Leaderboards, Skyscrapers, Wide Skyscrapers, Rectangles, Medium Rectangles, Half Pages, Text Ads) may not be placed on, chat rooms, and other entities that the Publisher does not have complete control of without prior approval by Adworld Media Corp. Interstitial, and Pop-under Creatives may be placed on forums and chat rooms.
(h) Fraud and Deception: Adworld Media Corp audits every Publisher’s traffic on a daily basis. Publishers that commit fraudulent activities, including false clicks, false impressions, and incentivize clicks, will have their account permanently removed from the Network and will not be compensated for fraudulent traffic, and you agree to this clause. Additionally, Adworld Media Corp reserves the right to register fraudulent Publishers in a global ad network fraud database, for usage by other ad networks. We have several fraud mechanisms at our disposal that will detect most forms within a few days of the initial activity. All Creatives must be served from a Adworld Media Corp server or serving location, or through a Adworld Media Corp approved 3rd-party-hosted server. Stored images that are loaded from a different location will not count towards any statistic or payment. Publishers agree to not artificially inflate traffic counts using a program (including scripts), device, or other means. Excessive page reloading or any other abuse of our system could result in legal action. No Publisher shall induce visitors to click on Creatives based on incentives, provided, however, that, with the prior written approval of Adworld Media Corp, certain language may appear above or below an advertisement served by Adworld Media Corp. Without limiting the foregoing, the following methods of generating visitor interest are unacceptable to Adworld Media Corp and may be grounds for dismissal from the Network: use of unsolicited email or inappropriate newsgroup postings to promote your Website; auto-spawning of browsers or consoles; automatic redirecting of users; clicking on your own banners; blind text links; misleading links; traffic with no referring URL; robot traffic or any other method that may lead to artificially high numbers of impressions or clicks.
It is the OBLIGATION of the (Affiliate, Publisher, Partner) to prove to AdWorldMedia. that they are NOT committing fraud. AdWorldMedia will hold your payment in ‘Pending Status’ until you have satisfactorily provided evidence that you are not defrauding the system. We flag accounts that:
- Have click-through rates that are much higher than industry averages and where solid justification is not evident
- Have click-through rates that are much lower than industry averages
- Have ONLY click programs generating clicks with no indication by site traffic that it can sustain the clicks reported
- Have shown fraudulent leads/clicks/impressions as determined by our clients
- Use fake redirects, automated software, and/or fraud to generate clicks or leads from our programs
- Send large amounts of traffic with no referring URL
- Maintain other statistics that are grossly different from industry averages
(i) Code: Adworld Media Corp Code shall not be modified without prior written consent from Adworld Media Corp. Publisher agrees to use the Adworld Media Corp Code provided by Adworld Media Corp for displaying a Creative not more than ONCE per page view for image-based ads. Ad codes cannot be placed in email messages. Publisher cannot alter, copy, modify, take, sell, reuse, or divulge any Adworld Media Corp Code, except as is necessary to partake in the Network, provided, however, with the prior written approval of Adworld Media Corp, a Publisher may, in certain instances, modify the Adworld Media Corp Code for purposes of inserting certain language pre-approved by Adworld Media Corp either above or below an advertisement served by Adworld Media Corp.
