This acceptable use policy (“AUP”) outlines the standards for using the Clickaine platform in compliance with laws and regulations, including the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). By accessing or using our services, you agree to these terms to ensure a safe, lawful, and transparent environment.
Clickaine requires that all users of the platform conduct themselves respectfully and responsibly. You must observe the following rules while using the platform:
Publishers are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations, including the DSA. Except for those who qualify as micro or small enterprises under the EU Commission’s criteria and are not considered very large online platforms under the DSA, publishers must ensure that, for each specific advertisement presented to each individual EU recipient, those EU end users can clearly, concisely and unambiguously identify, in real time, that the information is an advertisement, including by means of prominent markings.
This requirement fulfills the Ad Transparency obligations under the DSA and helps EU end users identify the advertiser behind each ad. The displayed information is extracted from data provided by the advertiser, who bears sole responsibility for its accuracy.
Information to be Disclosed:Additionally, other pertinent information about advertisers and ad campaigns will be disclosed to EU end users. This includes meaningful details about the main parameters used to determine the recipients to whom the advertisement is displayed.
Content on websites displaying ads must comply with Clickaine’s policies across all categories, including lawful adult categories. The following is prohibited:
Pageviews and clicks on ads must result from genuine human interest. Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on ads is prohibited. These prohibited methods include repeated manual clicks or impressions, use of robots, automated click and impression generating tools, third-party services generating clicks or impressions including paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, auto-surf, and click-exchange programs, or any deceptive software. Clickaine will not pay for any inventory that Clickaine believes, in its sole discretion, incentivizes users to click, uses automated means to generate clicks or traffic, or is otherwise suspicious.
Clickaine does not allow any of the following methods to artificially generate clicks or impressions:
Publishers must not display ads on webpages with content protected by copyright law unless they have the necessary legal rights to display that content. In other words, publishers must not display ads on webpages with unlicensed content belonging to a nonparty.
