4.1. DORMANT ACCOUNT PROCESS
In order to use Adcash services, you must keep your Adcash Account Wallet active. If it is inactive for a period of 150 consecutive calendar days, it will be marked as dormant. Please be aware that the dormant account process applies also to accounts that have been temporarily blocked. Your activity will be controlled by the system based on your spending as an Advertiser or earnings as a Publisher. As soon as your account is flagged as dormant, you will get a notification by email.
Dormant accounts are charged a monthly dormant account fee. If on the last day of the month your account is flagged dormant, a dormant account fee will be deducted from your Wallet balance on the first day of the following month. The monthly dormant account fee is 10% of your balance amount, but not less than 100 EUR or 100 USD (ONE HUNDRED EUROS OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS), depending on the type of the currency used (either EUR or USD account). If your balance has less than 100 EUR or 100 USD, the system will fully deduct the remaining amount. All deducted fees will be displayed in your wallet for your overview.
If for any reason the dormant account process was not applied to an inactive account (150 consecutive calendar days of inactivity), Adcash has the right to apply a one-time dormant fee if the account has been inactive for more than 300 days.
The one-time dormant fee will be charged 7 days after the account has been marked dormant. The one-time dormant account fee is 100% of the account balance.
If you re-start using Adcash services during this process, your Wallet will immediately be marked as active. You understand and agree that all fees already deducted during the dormant account process will not be refunded even if your Wallet status becomes active again. If your Wallet balance is 0 EUR or 0 USD, the system will automatically archive your account without an option to restore it.
If your account was archived due to the dormant account process, you may create a brand new account. Your personal details will once again be available for submission (including site, email address, website URL, application URL).
PLEASE NOTE THAT IN CASE YOU ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED IN USING ADCASH SERVICES AND YOU WISH TO AVOID THE DORMANT ACCOUNT PROCESS, YOU MUST DULY TERMINATE YOUR CONTRACT WITH ADCASH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ADCASH GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

7. ADVERTISEMENT PLACEMENT POLICY
(applies to Publishers)
You are welcome to place the ads of Adcash Advertisers on any Publisher Site in compliance with our policies. Multiple Advertising Spaces can help optimize your performance by leveraging Adcash’s large inventory of ads. You can put different Adcash advertisement formats per page.
The best way to measure the effect of multiple Advertising Spaces is to examine the impact on your overall earnings. Make sure that the Advertising Space with the best location on the page is the Advertising Space that appears first in your HTML code. This will help ensure that your prime Advertising Space is occupied by the ads that will generate the most revenue for you.
During Adcash’ initial check period of your Site submission, the Advertising Space might display a blank space (no content).
Any content will be displayed on the Advertising Space after the submission is approved.
Altering or manipulating the behaviour, targeting, appearance or delivery of ads without explicit approval from Adcash is generally prohibited and may result in punitive actions that include but are not limited to discarding the impressions impacted and/or blocking the account.
7.1. MISLEADING CONTENT
It is important that visitors of your Site are not misled in any way and are able to easily distinguish content from ads. This policy prohibits placing ads under misleading headings or titles. Because ads in such a position might be mistaken for links or listings instead of advertisements, such an implementation is considered unacceptable. Monitor your Site and its layout carefully to ensure this does not happen. It is important not to encourage Internet users directly or indirectly to click Adcash Advertisers’ ads. To avoid this issue, you are required to use only “sponsored links” or “advertisements” to label any ads.
7.2. SITES WITH POP-UPs
Note that if pop-ups are displayed on a website, they may not interfere with the site navigation, change user preferences, initiate downloads, or distribute viruses. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT NO AD NETWORK OR AFFILIATE OR ANY OTHER USER USES SUCH METHODS TO DIRECT TRAFFIC TO PAGES THAT CONTAIN YOUR ADCASH ADVERTISEMENT TAG.
7.3. E-MAIL PROMOTION
To ensure the effectiveness of Adcash Advertisers’ ads for both our Publishers and Advertisers, Adcash do not generally permit to use Campaigns ads and Adcash Advertisement Tags for email promotion or newsletters.

7.4. COMMON ADVERTISEMENT PLACEMENT
You are welcome to display Adcash Advertisers’ ads on the same Site as other third party advertisements provided that the formatting or colors of the third party ads are different enough from that of the Adcash ads. In other words, if you choose to place non-Adcash ads on the same Site as Adcash ads, it should always be clear to the Internet user that these ads are served by different advertising networks and that the non-Adcash ads have no association with Adcash. Please also be aware that competitor ads are considered to be part of your Site content and must follow our quality agreement and advertisement placement policy.
7.5. NOT SUBMITTED SITES AND APPLICATIONS
You will be credited for all earning that are made through your Advertisement Tag. If you wish to use Adcash Advertisers’ ads on a Site not associated with your Adcash Account, you will have to make sure that this unregistered Site is in compliance with our quality agreement and advertisement placement policy. If not owned by you, you need to get permission from the owner of the Site to display ads on their site or application. You may place your Advertisement Tag along with the other Publisher’s Advertisement Tag on the same page. In addition, be aware that every Publisher is responsible for the content on which their Advertisement Tag is placed. You agree that you are responsible for monitoring each Site, whether registered under your Adcash Account or not, where your Adcash Advertisement Tags appear. If a Publisher Site is found in violation of Contract, we may take actions against any Publisher(s) whose Advertisement Tag is used. You agree that we might ask you to remove the Adcash Advertisement Tag from unregistered Sites partly or fully for whatever reasons. Please note that when you use Advertisement Tags on the same Site as other Publishers, you will still only be credited for these earnings that were made through the Advertisement Tag belonging to your own Adcash Account. In other words, if the Site includes Advertisement Tags from different Publishers, each of them will be credited independently.

All statistic data access and rules are regulated by the Publisher agreement that is part of Adcash general terms and conditions.
Commission amounts and the way they are calculated will depend on the prices and calculation methods applied to Advertisers.
