This quality agreement covers the most common forms of deceptive or manipulative behavior, but Appmediation 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, Appmediation approves of it.

4.1. PUBLISHER QUALITY GUIDELINE

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

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

Appmediation does not check or control the activity of your Application but you should know that your Application submission may be rejected or your account may be blocked at any moment without additional review if you engage in fraudulent or illegal activity. In case of any such suspicion Appmediation may suspend your account.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT APPMEDIATION WILL NOT DISPLAY ANY ADVERTISING ON REJECTED PUBLISHER APPLICATIONS OR APPLICATIONS THAT ARE PENDING REVIEW.

You declare and guarantee that your Application is not/does not contain:
Fully or partly not working Application
Application without content
Violent content

Applications part of the Appmediation network may not be loaded by any software that:
Trigger ads automatically
Modify device settings
Redirect users to unwanted websites
Otherwise interfere with normal application navigation

After placing the Advertising tag on your Application, Appmediation will perform an initial check of your submission regarding technical quality, and determine if ads can be displayed on your Application according to the Appmediation advertisement placement policy. Your Application submission may be rejected if it does not meet these conditions.

Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that all of your Applications where the advertisements of Appmediation Advertisers are displayed, whether these Applications are registered under your Appmediation Account or not, met this Publisher quality guideline and Appmediation advertisement placement policy at all times. Appmediation has the right to check your compliance with these policies at any point during the time your Contract with Appmediation is valid. Failure to meet the conditions set forward may result in account suspension or termination.

5. ADVERTISEMENT PLACEMENT POLICY

You are welcome to place the ads on any Publisher Applications in compliance with our policies. Multiple Advertising Spaces can help optimize your performance by leveraging Appmediation’s large inventory of ads. You can put different Appmediation advertisement formats per page.

During Appmediation’ initial check period of your App 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 Appmediation 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.

5.1. MISLEADING CONTENT

It is important that users of your Application 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 Application and its layout carefully to ensure this does not happen. It is important not to encourage Internet users directly or indirectly to click Appmediation Advertisers’ ads. To avoid this issue, you are required to use only “sponsored links” or “advertisements” to label any ads.

5.2. APPLICATIONS WITH POP-UPs

Note that if pop-ups are displayed in application, they may not interfere with the 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 APPLICATIONS THAT CONTAIN YOUR APPMEDIATION ADVERTISEMENT SDK.

5.3. COMMON ADVERTISEMENT PLACEMENT

You are welcome to display Appmediation Advertisers’ ads on the same application as other third party advertisements provided that the formatting or colors of the third party ads is different enough from that of the Appmediation ads. In other words, if you choose to place non-Appmediation ads on the same application as Appmediation ads, it should always be clear to the user that these ads are served by different advertising networks and that the non-Appmediation ads have no association with Appmediation. Please also be aware that competitor ads are considered to be part of your Application content and must follow our quality agreement and advertisement placement policy.

5.4. NOT SUBMITTED APPLICATIONS

You will be credited for all earning that are made through your SDK. If you wish to use Appmediation Advertisers’ ads on a application not associated with your Appmediation Account, you will have to make sure that this unregistered application 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 application to display ads on their application. You may place your SDK along with the other Publisher’s SDK-s on the same page. In addition, be aware that every Publisher is responsible for the content on which their SDK is placed. You agree that you are responsible for monitoring each application, whether registered under your Appmediation Account or not, where your Appmediation SDK appear. If a Publisher application is found in violation of Contract, we may take actions against any Publisher(s) whose ASDK is used. You agree that we might ask you to remove the Appmediation SDK from unregistered applications partly or fully for whatever reasons. Please note that when you use SDK on the same applications as other Publishers, you will still only be credited for these earnings that were made through the SDK belonging to your own Appmediation Account. In other words, if the Application includes SDK from different Publishers, each of them will be credited independently.

5.5. HOSTED APPLICATIONS

You are welcome to place Appmediation SDK on any application, which comply with Contract, including hosted applications.

If your applications require a login and irrelevant ads are appearing, we may ask you to provide us a demo account to access protected pages.

5.7. MOBILE SDK

You may use the Appmediation mobile SDK (software development kits) only for the purposes set forth in this contract. Should you use the SDK to develop applications for the use of the general public, you agree to protect the privacy and rights of these users.

If you believe that an unauthorized or otherwise problematic transaction has taken place under your account, you agree to notify us immediately, so that we may take action to prevent financial loss. Unless you submit the claim to us within 30 days after the charge, you will have waived, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claims against us arising out of or otherwise related to the transaction. If you experience a technical failure or interruption of service that causes your funding transaction to fail, you may request that your transaction be completed at a later time.

If a payment is aborted by a third-party payment provider and is returned to the Appmediation Account, Appmediation commits to return those funds to your balance. You agree that transaction fees could be applied to refunded payment(s), so Appmediation reserve the right to deduct all transaction fees from your balance.

In order to prevent financial loss to you or to us, we may at our sole discretion and without incurring any liability, place a delay on a payment for a period of time, or limit funding instruments for a transaction, or limit your ability to request a payment, or suspend/block your account.

In order to prevent financial loss to you or to us, we may contact your funding instrument issuer, law enforcement, or affected third parties (including other users) and share details of any payments you are associated with, if we believe doing so may prevent financial loss or a violation of law.

If you leave your account balance unused for 150 consecutive days, or if you delete your account and leave a balance, or if we suspend your account and you do not meet any conditions necessary to reinstate it within 150 days, we may process your balance to zero in accordance with Appmediation general terms and conditions.

DUE TO YOUR FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY), APPMEDIATION IS ENTITLED TO A CONTRACTUAL PENALTY IN THE AMOUNT OF THE BALANCE OF YOUR BLOCKED ACCOUNT AND THEREFORE, APPMEDIATION MAY REFUSE TO MAKE ANY PAYMENTS TO YOU BY WAY OF SET-OFF OF THE CLAIMS.
