Your right to use the Service is subject to any limitations, conditions and restrictions established by us from time to time, in our sole discretion. We may alter, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time. In addition, we may impose limits on certain features and aspects of the Services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability and for any reason. AdWheel reserves the right to terminate your use of the Services if you misuse the Services in any way, or act in an inappropriate, unlawful or illegal manner, in our sole and absolute discretion.

If you are a publisher, you shall not authorize or encourage any third party to generate fraudulent impressions of or fraudulent clicks on any advertisement, including but not limited to, through repeated manual clicks, the use of robots or other automated query tools and/or computer generated search requests, and/or the fraudulent use of other search engine optimization services and/or software. You may list assets including but not limited to mobile sites, applications, and device platforms (“Mobile Properties”) and make them available for advertisement. You hereby grant AdWheel the right to access, index, store and cache requests made from your mobile websites (“Mobile Property”) to the Services, including by automated means. You allow AdWheel to access your applications to serve AdWheel’s personalized advertisements. If you are a publisher, you are prohibited from using the Services in an app that offers any real monetary value to the end users.

Publisher will have the ability to block any offers and/or advertisements before they are made available to Users.

If you are an advertiser, you may produce content including but not limited to text links, banners, videos, and graphics (“Advertisements”) for display on a publisher’s Mobile Property. You agree to comply with the technical specifications provided by AdWheel to enable proper display of the Advertisements in connection with the Services.

If you are a publisher, and provided you are not in breach of these Terms, AdWheel will pay you a portion of the revenues actually received by AdWheel from advertisers for Advertisements displayed on your advertising inventory via the Services, as determined by AdWheel from time to time in its sole discretion. The compensation payable to you shall be based on a percentage of the Net Revenue (“Net Revenue Share”). Net Revenue Share is determined dynamically for each impression and is based on terms negotiated programmatically between AdWheel and the advertiser. Payments will be calculated solely based on records maintained by AdWheel, and no other measurements or statistics of any kind will be accepted or have any effect. Payments to you may be withheld to reflect or adjusted to exclude any amounts refunded or credited to advertisers and any amounts arising from invalid activity, as determined by AdWheel in its sole discretion. Invalid activity is determined by AdWheel in all cases and includes, but is not limited to, (i) spam, invalid impressions or invalid clicks on ads generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device, including through any clicks or impressions originating from your IP addresses or computers under your control; (ii) clicks solicited or impressions generated by payment of money and false representation; (iii) clicks or impressions co-mingled with a significant amount of the activity described in (i) and (ii) above, or (iv) any breach of these Terms by you.

Terms of payment

Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month during the term of the Services, AdWheel will provide you a written or electronic report, or will enable you to access such reports online, showing the bases for calculating the Net Revenue Share for such month. If you dispute any payment made in connection with the Services, you must notify AdWheel in writing within thirty (30) days of any such payment. Failure to so notify AdWheel shall result in the waiver by you of any claims related to such disputed payment. To ensure proper payment, you are solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information associated with your account. You agree to pay all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with your use of the Services.

Regular payouts, which are the standard payouts we issue every month by default, AdWheel agrees to issue the payment on a net 30 term basis. This payout includes revenue calculated at the last second of the last day of the month.

If you chose our immediate payout option, AdWheel agrees to issue the payment within 5 business days from the date of the request or AdWheel will issue a delay notice. If opting for our immediate payout option, AdWheel will charge a 4% fee.

Incentivized Traffic

Incentivized traffic is when a publisher compensates end users for watching an Advertisement and/or taking a particular action by providing a virtual benefit – from in-app currency to redeemable points and artifacts.

As a publisher using AdWheel’s Services, you agree that the sole and exclusive format for Incentivized Traffic shall be rewarded ad format. All other reward formats are prohibited. In addition, publishers are prohibited from using rewarded ads to offer monetary rewards of any kind, including, but not limited to, cash or gift cards. Under no circumstances may end users be rewarded by any “real world” monetary value unless allowed by AdWheel on a case-by-case basis, subject to screening requirements, special economic terms, additional contractual terms, and provided that such monetary value will never:

  • Involve cash, in any currency, or cryptocurrencies;
  • Incentivize and reward the download of other applications.

If you are a publisher using AdWheel’s Services, you must have an active application that is currently published in the App Store, Google Play or Amazon Store. If at any point the application is removed from those platforms, but impressions generating from AdWheel ads continue, the publisher acknowledges, understands and agrees that it may not receive earnings derived from such impressions.
