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.

6. QUALITY AGREEMENT

(applies both to Publishers and Advertisers)

All Advertisers and Publishers are required to follow Adcash quality agreement.

YOU SHOULD BE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING YOUR SITE ALWAYS ONLINE AND REACHABLE BY THE USERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. IF YOUR SITE IS OFFLINE, ADCASH IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LOSSES OR UNEXPECTED SPENDINGS.

This quality agreement covers the most common forms of deceptive or manipulative behavior, but Adcash may respond negatively also to other misleading practices not listed here. It is not safe to assume that just because a specific deceptive technique isn’t included, Adcash approves of it.

6.1. PUBLISHER QUALITY GUIDELINE

(applies to Publishers)

In order to ensure a good experience for Internet users and Advertisers, you and other Publishers participating in the Adcash program are required to follow this Publisher quality guideline.

The publisher must submit a Publisher Site to get access to Adcash services. By submitting the Publisher Site you allow Adcash to use search and optimization bots to crawl your Sites without session IDs or arguments that track their path through the Site.

You should always test your Site to make sure that it appears correctly in different browsers and monitor your Site’s performance and optimize load times. You must monitor your Site for hacking and remove hacked content as soon as it appears.

Create a useful, information-rich Site with clearly and accurately described the content. You are not allowed to create multiple pages, sub-domains, or domains with substantially duplicate content. Avoid “doorway” pages created just for search engines, or other “cookie cutter” approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content.

You must provide unique and relevant content that gives Internet users a reason to visit your Site. Your Site should have a clear hierarchy and working text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link. Create a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your Site. Do not deceive your users.

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.

7.4. 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.

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

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.

Unless agreed differently, you must load funds to your Wallet balance in advance. The funds from your balance may be spent on any Campaign added to your respective Adcash Wallet. You may set overall and daily limitations on your Campaign spending. If your account balance becomes zero, all your Campaigns related with your respective Adcash Wallet shall be immediately paused.

All invoices generated by Adcash shall be under automatic approval and must be paid in full by you. You agree that you are entitled to a refund for delivered services only in cases explicitly set forth in the Contract.

When you make a purchase through Adcash payment gateways, you agree to provide a valid funding account to proceed with payment. When you have successfully completed this funding transaction, we will then transfer that value to your Wallet balance and create an invoice.

(applies to Advertisers)

You are entitled to request for a refund in the following cases:

First, if there has been an incorrect payment transaction.

Second, if you have made a prepayment and you prove that the actions forming the basis of the pricing model of your Campaign are based on a Publisher’s fraudulent activities (i.e. the artificial increase of actions). In order to detect and prove Publishers’ fraudulent activities you undertake to send to Adcash a weekly detailed report of sources/websites you consider to be fraudulent. In case the Publisher’s fraudulent activities cannot be clearly identified based on your report, Adcash is entitled to request additional proof from you. If you fail to submit a weekly report or additional proof regarding the Publishers’ fraudulent activities, Adcash may refuse to give a refund and adjust your balance accordingly. In case you are using post-payment method and you are able to prove Publishers’ fraudulent activities pursuant to this clause, Adcash will not invoice you for the agreed actions based on Publisher’s fraudulent activities.

Third, if at the end of the validity of the Contract it appears that you have spent for Adcash services less than you have prepaid. In such a case you are entitled to ask for a refund within 30 days after the termination of the Contract, provided that the amount of your unused balance is at least 50 EUR or 50 USD (FIFTY EUROS OR FIFTY US DOLLARS), depending on the type of the currency used (either EUR or USD account). Before refunding, Adcash will have to finalize all not invoiced spending and make necessary adjustments where needed. After finalizing all current statistics, your unused balance will be refunded to you at your request, minus an administrative fee of 25% to cover Adcash’s costs and fees related with the management of giving a refund, within 30 working days. YOUR REFUND WILL BE CREDITED BACK TO THE SAME PAYMENT METHOD AND SAME PAYMENT ACCOUNT THAT YOU USED TO MAKE YOUR LAST PAYMENT. You may be required to provide additional information or documentation in order for Adcash to confirm your identity, before any refund request is processed.

You acknowledge the trustworthiness of this data, which will prevail in the event of a dispute, with regard to the measurement of all elements (impressions, pages viewed, unique visitors, commissions, etc.) of any type. 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. Therefore, for certain Campaigns (in particular lead campaigns), the data giving rise to your Commission may first require validation by the Advertiser. If there is a disagreement between the data of Adcash and that of the Advertiser, we will attempt to settle the disagreement with the Advertiser in order to communicate the final, agreed figures to you promptly.

Your daily earnings that you have earned based on the statistical data shall be added to your wallet statement on the following day. Your final balance will be based on wallet statement records. You fully understand and accept the fact that all payments to you will be based on your balance that is available from wallet statement page.

Adcash has the right to provide you any bonuses with or without reason. You agree that you are not able to request bonuses from Adcash, unless it is dictated by another promo campaign; bonus program is based on Adcash will only.

If at the end of the validity of the Contract it appears that you have on your balance un-invoiced earnings, you may request for the payment thereof within 30 days after the termination of the Contract, provided that the amount of your un-invoiced earnings meet the payment threshold. HOWEVER, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOUR CONTRACT WITH ADCASH IS TERMINATED DUE TO THE VIOLATION OF CONTRACT BY YOU (FOR EXAMPLE DUE TO YOUR FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY), ADCASH IS ENTITLED TO A CONTRACTUAL PENALTY IN THE AMOUNT OF YOUR UN-INVOICED EARNINGS AND THEREFORE, ADCASH MAY REFUSE TO PAY FOR YOUR UN-INVOICED EARNINGS BY WAY OF SET-OFF OF THE CLAIMS.

Adcash minimum payment threshold for Publishers is 100 EUR or 100 USD (ONE HUNDRED EUROS OR ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS), depending on the type of the currency used (either EUR or USD account), before tax each month. Daily balance reports can be found on the wallet statement page.

For convenience, you might activate the auto-billing tool that is going to generate a payment request automatically. In order to use the auto-billing tool, you need to provide payment details and verify them through email first. In case auto-billing will fail to generate payment request, you can request it manually through payment request form during the mentioned period.

Invoice request must be sent in accordance with current regulations, notably regarding whether you are subject to VAT or not. The Adcash Platform will automatically create an invoice based on the information you supplied on your request form and account data.

When you request your payment, Adcash will have up to 30 calendar days starting from the end of payment request session (i.e. from the 10th day of the following month) to validate your request and proceed with the payment for validated invoices. Each invoice is validated by Adcash only after your earnings have been checked for any fraudulent activity. In case your payment cannot be processed for reasons stipulated in the Contract, your earnings will be fully returned to your balance without applied fees. If your invoice is refused due to fraud, we have the right to apply all sanctions stipulated in the Contract. If you decide to cancel your payment request before the payment, your earnings will be fully returned to your balance without applied fees.
