Terms of Service
These Terms are an agreement between you and Ink Network ("Ink Network," "we," "us"). They cover InkAds: the dashboard at ads.inknetworks.site, the InkAds script and its code, and the ad-serving service (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use it.
1. Who can use InkAds
- You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian's permission.
- InkAds is invite only. An invite code lets you make one account, and you must give accurate information.
- You are responsible for your account, for keeping your password and any site secrets private, and for everything done through them. Tell us promptly at support@inknetworks.site if you think they were exposed.
- If you use InkAds for an organization, you confirm you may bind it to these Terms.
2. Two ways to use it
An account can be a publisher (it shows ads on a site), an advertiser (it runs ads), or both. Some terms below apply to one role only, and say so.
3. Ad policies
The Ad policies are part of these Terms. They list what ads and sites are not allowed. We may update them, and we apply them at our discretion, including after an ad or site was approved.
4. Publishers
- Approval. New sites are reviewed before they can show ads. We may refuse, suspend or remove any site.
- Your site. You own your site and you are responsible for it, including its content, its visitors and complying with the laws that apply to it. If your site is aimed at or used by children, you are responsible for meeting the rules that apply to that, such as children's privacy laws.
- Install it as designed. Do not hide, cover, resize, auto-refresh or alter ads, load them in hidden frames, or make ads appear where people did not choose to see them. Do not click your own ads, ask others to click or view them, or use bots or any other means to create impressions, clicks or rewards.
- Rewarded ads. A rewarded ad must always be opt-in, the reward must be real and given as described, and you must verify the signed reward proof on your server. Do not pass personal information in the
ctxvalue. Use an opaque ID. - Earnings. You earn 95% of the amount actually charged to advertisers for valid impressions and clicks on your site. We decide in good faith what is valid. Invalid traffic, such as bots, abuse, self-clicks and anything breaking these Terms, is not paid and may be reversed. We may change the share for future traffic with at least 30 days' notice.
- Payouts. Payouts are not automated yet. Earnings build up in your account. Before the first payout we will tell publishers the payment methods, minimum amounts and timing. We may hold or withhold earnings that we reasonably suspect come from fraud or a policy violation. You are responsible for your own taxes.
5. Advertisers
- Review. Every paid ad is reviewed by a person before it runs, and again after any edit. We may reject, pause or remove any ad, campaign or account at any time, and we do not have to give a reason, though we usually will.
- Your ads. You promise your ads are truthful, that you have the rights to everything in them, that the page they link to is what the ad describes, and that they follow the Ad policies and the law. You are responsible for your ads and your landing pages.
- Pricing. Campaigns are charged per 1,000 impressions (CPM) or per click (CPC), at your bid, from your account balance. Our counts are final. A campaign stops when your balance or budget runs out.
- Funds. Balances are added by us, by arrangement. Funds are used to pay for ads and are not interest bearing. Unused balance in an account in good standing can be refunded on request, minus any amounts owed, fees we incur and amounts we reasonably hold for suspected fraud, unless the law requires otherwise.
- No guarantees. We do not promise any number of impressions, clicks, conversions, placements or results.
6. Your content
You keep ownership of the ad copy, images, links and other material you give us. You give Ink Network a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, copy, display, adapt for display and distribute that material as needed to run the Service, including showing it on publishers' sites and reviewing it.
7. Acceptable use
Do not use the Service to break the law or anyone's rights; attack, overload or probe it; bypass its limits, caps, review or fraud checks; scrape or resell it; send malware or deceptive links; or harm or exploit minors. The InkAds script is provided so you can use it with the Service, not to build a competing network or to reproduce our service.
8. Our property
We own the Service, including its software, design and the names InkAds and Ink Network. These Terms give you a limited, revocable right to use the Service as intended, and nothing else. If you send us feedback we may use it freely.
9. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and why. It is part of these Terms.
10. Suspension and ending
You can stop using InkAds and ask us to close your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access, remove content, and hold funds, at any time for any violation of these Terms or the Ad policies, for suspected fraud, to protect people or the Service, or where the law requires. When an account closes, its ads and sites stop serving. Valid earnings you are owed are still paid, minus anything owed to us or reasonably held for fraud. Sections that by their nature should continue, such as payment, licences, disclaimers, liability, indemnity and disputes, continue after termination.
11. The Service is provided as is
InkAds is early access software. It is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not promise it will be uninterrupted, error free, or that statistics, impressions or payments will be exact. We may change, limit or stop features at any time.
12. Limits on our liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INK NETWORK AND ITS OFFICERS, DEVELOPERS AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US OR WE PAID YOU IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND (B) US$100. Some places do not allow some of these limits, so they apply only as far as the law permits.
13. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify Ink Network and its officers, developers and affiliates against claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your ads, your site, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms or any law or third-party right.
14. Changes
We may change these Terms. For material changes we will tell you by email or in the dashboard, and the new Terms apply from the date shown. If you keep using the Service after that, you accept them. If you do not agree, stop using it and close your account.
15. Law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska, USA, without regard to conflict of law rules. Subject to rights that cannot be waived, you and Ink Network agree that any dispute will be brought only in the state or federal courts located in Nebraska, and you agree to their jurisdiction.
16. Other
These Terms and the policies they link to are the whole agreement about the Service. If part of them is unenforceable, the rest stays. Our not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your account or these Terms without our consent, and we may transfer ours as part of a business change. Notices to you go to the email on your account or the dashboard. Notices to us go to support@inknetworks.site. For copyright complaints write to dmca@inknetworks.site.
