Advertising Philosophy

The following advertising guidelines have been devised to help ensure our advertising products and solutions deliver the best possible value to our advertising clients and listeners alike.  These guidelines are not intended as legal advice and following these guidelines does not serve as legal compliance. Advertisers are responsible to make sure their ads and associated links within ads that direct users to content outside of publisher properties comply with applicable laws, statutes, and regulations.

 

Advertising Content Guidelines

The following guidelines apply to all ads served through AdsWizz technology. AdsWizz expressly reserves the right to reject or remove any ad in its sole discretion at any time. Final and ongoing approval of all creative material is at the sole discretion of AdsWizz. In addition, AdsWizz reserves the right, at any time, to re-evaluate previously approved creative material to ensure ongoing compliance with our advertising guidelines and an optimal listener experience, specifically in the event that creative material elicits significant negative feedback from our listeners.

 

General Content Requirements: 

In order to provide listeners with a quality experience when interacting with advertisers, the following general content requirements should be met:

• Ads must directly relate to the content on the landing page, and must clearly represent the company, product, brand, or service that is being advertised.
• Ads must not be false, misleading, fraudulent, inaccurate, unfair, or contain gross exaggeration, unsubstantiated claims, spam, harmful code, or other disruptive content.
• Ads cannot insult, harass, or threaten a listener, or be vulgar, profane, abusive, defamatory, libelous, or otherwise objectionable. Targeting audiences that would likely be offended by the product or service you are promoting is a violation of AdsWizz ad policy.
• Ads cannot contain hate speech, whether directed at an individual or a group, and whether based upon the race, sex, creed, national origin, religious affiliation, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or language of such individual or group.
• Ads must not violate the intellectual property rights of a 3rd party.
• Ads may contain languages other than English under certain conditions. All submissions of non-English ads must be accompanied by an accurate English translation.
• Use of the publishers name (e.g. Pandora, iHeart, or other audio publishers), logo or other brand features without prior approval is not permitted. For example, ads cannot mimic or resemble a publisher’s graphics, text or other aspects of a publisher’s “look-and-feel”.
• Ads may not suggest the endorsement or partnership of the publisher (e.g. Pandora, iHeart, or other audio publishers).
