01Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of the websites, dashboards, tags, APIs, and related services (the “Service”) operated by AdvertiserSystem (“AdvertiserSystem,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) at https://advertisersystem.com.
By creating an account, signing in, depositing funds, submitting an ad, adding a domain, pasting our tag, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” includes that entity.
Related policies
These Terms incorporate the privacy policy and cookie policy. Privacy rights requests are described on the privacy rights page.
02Who we are
The Service is offered by AdvertiserSystem, using that name as the company name, with a principal place of business in the State of Florida, United States. AdvertiserSystem operates a CPC and CPM advertising network: advertisers fund a wallet and run reviewed campaigns; publishers verify domains and earn on billed traffic.
Legal notices under these Terms: privacy@advertisersystem.com, or an in-product support ticket after you sign in.
03Eligibility and accounts
You may use the Service only if all of the following are true:
- You are at least 18 years old and have legal capacity to contract under Florida law.
- You are not barred from receiving advertising or payment services under U.S. law.
- You are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction, and you are not a denied or restricted party on a U.S. government list.
- You will use the Service for a lawful business purpose, not as a consumer marketplace for personal ads.
You must provide a real email address you control, keep your credentials confidential, and complete email verification before using restricted features. One person or legal entity per account unless we agree otherwise in writing. You are responsible for all activity under your login, including activity by employees or contractors you authorize.
We may refuse registration, require additional identity or tax information, limit roles (advertiser / publisher), or close duplicate, automated, or abusive accounts.
04Electronic contracting and notices
You consent to do business electronically. Clicking accept, checking a box, creating an account, or continuing to use the Service after notice of a change is your electronic signature under the Florida Uniform Electronic Transaction Act and the federal E-SIGN Act.
We may send notices to the email on your account, through the dashboard inbox, or by posting on the Service. Notices to us must be sent to privacy@advertisersystem.com and are effective when we actually receive them.
05Advertisers
If you register as an advertiser, you may submit creatives, landing URLs, targeting, and budgets. Campaigns stay pending until an operator approves them. Approval is discretionary and may be withdrawn at any time.
You represent and warrant that:
- You have all rights needed for the creative, brand, offer, and landing page.
- The ad, targeting, and landing page are lawful in every place they may be shown.
- The landing URL is a real HTTPS destination you control or are authorized to promote, and it does not use IP hosts, userinfo credentials, malware, or cloaking to evade review.
- You will not buy or incentivize fake clicks or impressions on your own or others’ campaigns.
Spend is prepaid from your wallet. CPC and CPM rates, country rates, and the network fee are those shown in the dashboard at the time an event is billed. We do not guarantee volume, placement, conversion, or ranking. Unused prepaid balance remains in the wallet until spent, applied to fees, or handled as required by law after account closure.
Deposits are processed by Stripe. Chargebacks, disputed cards, or reversed deposits may be debited from the wallet and may result in suspension. Prepaid media spend is generally non-refundable except where Florida or other applicable law requires a refund, or where we agree in writing.
06Publishers
If you register as a publisher, you may add domains you control, complete verification, and place our tag only on verified hosts. You may not place tags on sites we have not verified, in hidden iframes, under other publishers’ inventory, or in applications we have not approved.
You represent and warrant that:
- You own or lawfully control each domain and have authority to serve ads on it.
- The site is lawful, has a working privacy notice, and does not exist solely to generate ad events.
- You will not hide ads, auto-refresh in a way that fabricates impressions, generate clicks or impressions by any non-human or incentivized method, or wrap our tag in unauthorized arbitrage.
Earnings are a share of billed events after the network fee shown in the dashboard. Unpublished, rejected, or unbilled events do not accrue earnings. Withdrawals are requested in the dashboard, paid manually after review, and subject to the minimum then in effect. We may require tax forms or payout identity checks before sending funds.
07Traffic quality, fraud, and billing determinations
We measure impressions and clicks, apply fraud and quality filters, and decide which events are billed. Filters may use IP address, user agent, country, timing, volume, HMAC event tokens, and similar signals. Our determination of a billed or rejected event is final for wallet purposes, except that we may reverse a determination if we later find error or abuse.
We may withhold, offset, or claw back advertiser spend or publisher earnings tied to invalid traffic, policy breaches, chargebacks, or suspected fraud, including after a campaign has run or a withdrawal was requested. Delivery volume is not guaranteed. If ClickHouse or another measurement store is unavailable, we may fail closed and not bill events rather than guess.
08Wallets, fees, taxes, and payouts
Wallet ledgers are denominated in USD unless we display otherwise. Network fees, minimum withdrawal, and related settings are shown in the dashboard and may change prospectively.
You are responsible for all taxes on your activity. AdvertiserSystem is not your tax advisor. We may withhold amounts required by law. Publisher payouts are not wages. Advertiser deposits are for media and related fees, not a stored-value account or bank deposit, and are not FDIC insured.
If your account is closed with a remaining advertiser balance, we may retain it for a reasonable period to cover chargebacks and then refund the remainder by a method we reasonably select, less any amounts you owe. Dormant balances may be reported or remitted under Florida unclaimed-property law if applicable.
09Prohibited content and conduct
You will not use the Service to promote, collect, or facilitate any of the following:
- Malware, ransomware, phishing, credential harvesting, or exploit kits.
- Illegal products or services, including unlawful drugs, weapons where prohibited, or unlicensed gambling.
- Child sexual abuse material or any sexual content involving minors. We will report it.
- Non-consensual intimate imagery, doxxing, or targeted harassment.
- Counterfeit goods, deceptive claims, fake documents, or impersonation of brands or officials.
- Traffic fraud, bots, click farms, incentivized or hidden ads, or cookie stuffing.
- Unauthorized collection of personal data, including pixeling inventory you do not control.
- Circumventing review, geo-cloaking to hide the real landing page, or interfering with our tags.
- Attempting to access other accounts, the admin console, or non-public systems.
We may share evidence with payment partners, hosting providers, and law enforcement when we reasonably believe we must, and as described in the privacy policy.
10Review, suspension, and termination
We may reject, pause, or remove ads and domains; suspend or ban accounts; withhold payouts; and disable tags, with or without prior notice, if we believe these Terms, the law, or network integrity requires it. We may also stop offering the Service, in whole or in part, with notice in the dashboard or by email where practical.
You may close your account through the privacy controls or a ticket, subject to outstanding balances, investigations, and records we must keep. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including money, fraud, IP, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and dispute terms) survive termination.
11Intellectual property and feedback
AdvertiserSystem and its licensors own the Service, including software, trademarks, and documentation. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service as offered under these Terms. You may not copy, scrape at scale, reverse engineer except as the law allows, or resell the Service.
You retain ownership of ads, landing pages, and site content you submit. You grant AdvertiserSystem a worldwide license to host, cache, transmit, and display that content solely to operate, review, bill, and protect the network. Feedback you send us may be used without obligation to you.
Copyright complaints: send a notice that meets 17 U.S.C. § 512 to privacy@advertisersystem.com with “DMCA” in the subject. We may disable content or accounts in response.
12Third-party services
The Service depends on processors including Stripe (deposits), SMTP2GO (transactional email), Cloudflare Turnstile (bot checks), optional Umami analytics, and Bugsink-compatible error reporting. Their terms apply to their processing. We are not responsible for third-party outages, except that we will pass through refunds or credits we actually receive when the law or our contract with them requires it.
13Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, a particular volume of traffic, or that ads will generate sales.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers. Nothing in these Terms limits a warranty that Florida law says we cannot disclaim, including liability for our own fraudulent or willful misconduct.
14Limitation of liability
Read this section carefully
To the maximum extent permitted by law, AdvertiserSystem and its officers, directors, employees, and contractors will not be liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, replacement media, or any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, even if advised of the possibility.
Except for (a) your payment obligations, (b) your indemnification obligations, (c) your infringement or misappropriation of IP, or (d) liability that Florida law does not allow to be limited (including our own fraud or willful misconduct), our total liability for all claims arising out of the Service is limited to the greater of (i) the fees you actually paid us in the 12 months before the claim or (ii) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).
These limits are a fundamental part of the bargain and apply to contract, tort, strict liability, and any other theory. The Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act is not waived where a waiver is not permitted.
15Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AdvertiserSystem and its people from claims, damages, losses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of: your ads, sites, landing pages, or traffic; your breach of these Terms; your violation of law or third-party rights; or your fraud or invalid traffic. We may assume exclusive defense with counsel we choose; you will cooperate.
16Florida law, venue, and disputes
These Terms and any dispute arising out of them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would choose another state’s law, except that the Federal Arbitration Act would apply if the parties later agree in writing to arbitrate.
Exclusive jurisdiction and venue lie in the state courts of the State of Florida and the United States District Courts sitting in Florida. You and AdvertiserSystem consent to personal jurisdiction there. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Before filing a claim, you agree to email privacy@advertisersystem.com with a short description of the dispute and to allow 30 days for an informal resolution. This does not limit either party’s right to seek temporary injunctive relief for IP, fraud, or unauthorized access.
17Jury trial and class action waiver
To the fullest extent permitted by Florida and federal law, you and AdvertiserSystem waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim must be severed and litigated in court, and the remainder of the waiver still applies.
18Changes to the service and these terms
We may change plans, fees, features, and these Terms. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date and, where practical, noted in the dashboard or by email. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and close your account.
19Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms and the incorporated policies are the entire agreement and supersede prior understandings about the Service.
- Severability. If a court strikes a clause, the rest remains in force, and the clause is modified to the minimum extent needed to be valid.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, financing, or sale of assets.
- No waiver. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, including infrastructure, payment-network, or legal process failures.
- No agency. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship. Publishers and advertisers are independent parties.
- Export. You will comply with U.S. export and sanctions laws.
- Interpretation. Headings are for convenience. “Including” means “including without limitation.”
