You should know what we mean when we use each of the terms. There's not going to be a test on it, but it's still useful information.</em></p> <ol> <li>The "Agreement" refers, collectively, to all the terms, conditions, notices contained or referenced in this document (the "Terms of Service" or the "Terms") and all other operating rules, policies (including our <a href="https://www.ethicalads.io/privacy-policy/">privacy policy</a>) and procedures that we may publish from time to time on our site and network.</li> <li>Our "Service" or "Services" refers to the applications, software, products, and services provided by EthicalAds.</li> <li>The "Network" refers to EthicalAds' network located at ethicalads.io and server.ethicalads.io, and all content, services, and products provided by EthicalAds at or through our sites and Network.</li> <li>"The User," "You," and "Your" refer to the individual person, company, or organization that has a publisher or advertiser account using our Network or Services; that accesses or uses any part of the Account; or that directs the use of the Account in the performance of its functions. A User must be at least 13 years of age.</li> <li>"EthicalAds," "We," and "Us" refer to Read the Docs, Inc., as well as our affiliates, directors, subsidiaries, contractors, licensors, officers, agents, and employees.</li> <li>An "Account" represents your legal relationship with EthicalAds. A "User Account" represents an individual User's authorization to log in to and use the Service and serves as a User's identity on EthicalAds. Generally, users who merely see or click on ads do not have an Account.</li> <li>A "Publisher" is a person, company, or organization who hosts ads from our Network on their own website. An "Advertiser" is a person, company, or organization who advertises on our Network. Both Advertisers and Publishers have Accounts.</li> <li>"User Personal Information" is any information about one of our users which could, alone or together with other information, personally identify him or her. Information such as a user name and password, an email address, a real name, and a photograph are examples of User Personal Information. Our <a href="https://www.ethicalads.io/privacy-policy/">privacy policy</a> goes into more details on User Personal Information, what data EthicalAds collects from Advertisers, Publishers, or visitors who merely see or click on an ad, and why we collect it.</li> </ol> <h3 id="our-services">Our services</h3> <p>EthicalAds is made up of the following sites:</p> <dl> <dt>ethicalads.io</dt> <dd> <p>This website contains landing pages explaining our Service and Network.</p> </dd> <dt>server.ethicalads.io ("Ad Server")</dt> <dd> <p>The website that serves ads on behalf of our Advertisers and are displayed on Publishers' websites.</p> </dd> </dl> <h2 id="account-terms">Account terms</h2> <p><em>User Accounts have different administrative controls; a human must create your Account (usually after receiving an invite); you must be 13 or over; and you must provide a valid email address. You alone are responsible for your Account and anything that happens while you are signed in to or using your Account. You are responsible for keeping your Account secure.</em></p> <h3 id="account-controls">Account controls</h3> <p>Users Subject to these Terms, you retain ultimate administrative control over your User Account and the Content within it. Users can share access to their Publisher or Advertiser accounts with other Users.</p> <h3 id="required-information">Required information</h3> <p>You must provide a valid email address in order to receive an invite and complete the signup process. Any other information requested, such as your real name, is optional, unless you are accepting these terms on behalf of a legal entity (in which case we need more information about the legal entity). In order to pay for advertising or receive payouts as a publisher, we may require additional information necessary for billing purposes.</p> <h3 id="account-requirements">Account requirements</h3> <p>We have a few simple rules for User Accounts on EthicalAds' Services.</p> <ul> <li>You must be a human to create an Account. Accounts registered by "bots" or other automated methods are not permitted. We do permit machine accounts:</li> <li>A machine account is an Account set up by an individual human who accepts the Terms on behalf of the Account, provides a valid email address, and is responsible for its actions. A machine account is used exclusively for performing automated tasks. Multiple users may direct the actions of a machine account, but the owner of the Account is ultimately responsible for the machine's actions.</li> <li>You must be age 13 or older. We must comply with United States law. EthicalAds does not target our Services to children under 13, and we do not permit any Users under 13 on our Service. If we learn of any User under the age of 13, we will have to close your account. If you are a resident of a country outside the United States, your country's minimum age may be older; in such a case, you are responsible for complying with your country's laws.</li> <li>You may not use EthicalAds in violation of export control or sanctions laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. You may not use EthicalAds if you are or are working on behalf of a <a href="https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/SDN-List/Pages/default.aspx">Specially Designated National (SDN)</a> or a person subject to similar blocking or denied party prohibitions administered by a U.S. government agency. EthicalAds may allow persons in certain sanctioned countries or territories to access certain EthicalAds services pursuant to U.S. government authorizations.</li> </ul> <h3 id="user-account-security">User Account security</h3> <p>You are responsible for keeping your Account secure while you use our Service.</p> <ul> <li>You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account.</li> <li>You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account and password. EthicalAds cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.</li> <li>You will promptly <a href="https://www.ethicalads.io/contact/">notify EthicalAds</a> if you become aware of any unauthorized use of, or access to, our Services through your Account, including any unauthorized use of your password or Account.</li> </ul> <h3 id="additional-terms">Additional terms</h3> <p>In some situations, third parties' terms may apply to your use of EthicalAds. For example, you may be a member of an advertising team using EthicalAds with its own terms or license agreements; or you may download an application that integrates with EthicalAds. Please be aware that while these Terms are our full agreement with you, other parties' terms govern their relationships with you.</p> <h2 id="acceptable-use">Acceptable use</h2> <p><strong>Short version:</strong> <em>EthicalAds runs an ad network and our publishers and advertisers are from all over the world.

EthicalAds, in our sole discretion, will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. We will make a reasonable attempt to warn you via email prior to suspension.</p> <p>You may not share API tokens to exceed EthicalAds' rate limitations.</p> <p>You may not use the API to download data or Content from EthicalAds for spamming or fraudulent purposes, including for the purposes of ad fraud or generating fake traffic that looks like site visitors.</p> <p>All use of the EthicalAds API is subject to these Terms of Service and our <a href="https://www.ethicalads.io/privacy-policy/">privacy policy</a>.</p> <h2 id="advertising-on-the-ethicalads-network">Advertising on the EthicalAds network</h2> <p><strong>Short version:</strong> <em>We run an ad network and our network provides guarantees about how we fairly handle advertising and disputes as well as expectations on our advertisers and publishers.</em></p> <h3 id="our-privacy-focused-advertising">Our privacy-focused advertising</h3> <p>We run an advertising network which entails matching ad campaigns from advertisers with relevant publisher sites.

These terms are available at <a href="https://www.iab.com/guidelines/standard-terms-conditions-internet-advertising-media-buys-one-year-less/">IAB.net</a>. Our ad server at server.ethicalads.io will be used for serving and tracking as that agreement outlines.</p> <p>Your ad campaign may run in a longer amount of time, based on availability and traffic. We can usually provide a good estimate of your campaign duration before the campaign starts.</p> <p>We request payment for an advertiser's first campaign before the campaign starts. EthicalAds will send invoices to Customer electronically to the email address provided. Customer will remit all payments within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoices, which will be deemed to be the date sent by EthicalAds.

Free Accounts are not required to provide payment information.</p> <h3 id="publisher-payouts">Publisher payouts</h3> <p>We handle payouts once a month, with a minimum payment of <strong>$50</strong>. Our goal is to get payment to our publishers by the 15th of the month, with the payment being the balance at the end of the prior month.</p> <p>For our compliance and for tax purposes, we may require a government ID from you in certain circumstances to process payouts. We will ask for this explicitly if and when we require it. We handle your information securely and it is deleted no later than 30 days after your next payout.</p> <p>For more details, see our <a href="https://www.ethicalads.io/publisher-policy/">publisher policy</a>.</p> <h2 id="cancellation-and-termination">Cancellation and termination</h2> <p><strong>Short version:</strong> <em>You may close your Account at any time.

We are interested in why you stopped as that is a way for us to improve our product and services and we would like to hear from you.</p> <h3 id="advertiser-account-cancellation">Advertiser account cancellation</h3> <p>Most advertisers are billed on a per-campaign basis and most campaigns do not automatically renew. If an advertiser does not authorize a campaign to continue, they will not be billed further.</p> <h3 id="account-deletion">Account deletion</h3> <p>We generally do not delete accounts of past advertisers or publishers. You may request that your account be deleted by emailing ads@ethicalads.io.</p> <h3 id="upon-deletion">Upon deletion</h3> <p>We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, but barring legal requirements, we will delete your full account within 90 days of deletion.
