Advertising & Listings Policy
Rules for sponsored placements, featured and premium AI tool listings on AInexfinder.
Table of Contents
1. Purpose
This Advertising & Listings Policy (“Policy”) governs paid promotional products on AInexfinder, including sponsored placements, featured listings, premium listings, and similar advertising opportunities.
It protects users from misleading promotions and sets clear expectations for advertisers and tool makers.
2. Definitions
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Advertiser | Person or entity purchasing or supplying creatives for paid promotions |
| Sponsored placement | Paid inventory slot (e.g., homepage, category, role page) |
| Featured listing | Paid enhancement of a tool’s listing visibility |
| Premium listing | Bundled or elevated commercial listing product |
| Organic listing | Non-paid directory inclusion subject to editorial review |
| Creative | Images, copy, logos, landing URLs used in a campaign |
3. Relationship to Other Terms
Purchases are also governed by our Terms of Service, Payment Terms, and Refund Policy. If an Insertion Order (IO) or order form is signed, it controls over this Policy for that campaign where expressly stated.
4. Eligibility
Advertisers must:
- Have authority to promote the product
- Provide accurate product and contact information
- Maintain a functional landing page
- Comply with applicable advertising, consumer protection, and privacy laws
- Not be subject to sanctions that prohibit the transaction
We may require identity or business verification.
5. Sponsored Placements Policy
5.1 Inventory
Sponsored placements appear in designated areas that we may change for product or UX reasons. We will not knowingly sell placement that we cannot deliver.
5.2 Delivery
Delivery is measured by making the placement available on the Service as specified (time period, page type, or approximate impressions if sold on that basis). Third-party ad blockers or user settings may affect visibility; that is outside our control.
5.3 Exclusivity
Category exclusivity is not included unless expressly sold in writing.
5.4 Rotation
We may rotate multiple sponsors in a slot unless you purchase exclusive share.
6. Featured Listings Policy
6.1 What “Featured” means
A featured listing receives enhanced visibility relative to standard listings for the purchased period or package (for example, badges, priority placement in certain modules, or homepage inclusion—as described at purchase).
6.2 Editorial independence
Featured status does not:
- Guarantee a specific Editor Score
- Guarantee category rank position against all algorithms forever
- Convert a listing into an editorial endorsement of superiority
- Override our right to remove for policy violations
6.3 Requirements
Featured tools must remain approved, accurate, and compliant. Materially false claims may result in removal without refund (see Refund Policy).
7. Premium Listings Policy
Premium listings may combine directory features, creative services, multi-placement packages, or priority support as described at purchase. Deliverables not listed in the order are not included.
If a premium package includes services dependent on Advertiser inputs (assets, approvals), delays caused by Advertiser may extend timelines without refund of the package price.
8. Creative and Content Standards
All creatives and listing copy must:
- Be accurate and not misleading
- Clearly identify the advertiser/product
- Match the landing page experience (no bait-and-switch)
- Be suitable for a general professional audience
- Respect third-party IP and privacy
- Disclose material connections where required (affiliates, testimonials)
- Meet technical specs we provide (size, format, file weight)
We may request revisions. Failure to provide compliant creatives by deadlines may affect delivery without creating refund rights beyond those in the Refund Policy.
9. Prohibited Advertising Categories
We prohibit ads and paid listings that primarily promote:
- Illegal products or services
- Malware, hacking-for-hire, or credential theft
- Fraud, phishing, or counterfeit goods
- Adult sexual content (unless we later create a separate adult-compliant inventory—which we do not currently offer)
- Hate, extremism, or harassment
- Weapons or explosives where restricted
- Deceptive financial schemes, fake investment returns
- Controlled substances (illegal)
- Content that exploits minors
We may reject categories that create brand or legal risk even if not strictly illegal.
10. Disclosure and Labeling
We may label paid placements as “Sponsored,” “Featured,” “Ad,” or similar. Advertisers must not obscure or remove required labels.
Users should be able to distinguish paid promotion from organic discovery modules.
11. Performance and Metrics
Unless an order expressly guarantees a metric (rare):
- Impressions, clicks, CTR, conversions, and rankings are not guaranteed
- Analytics are estimates and may differ across tools
- External factors (seasonality, competitors, creative quality, landing page UX) affect results
AInexfinder is not responsible for Advertiser ROI.
12. Review, Rejection, and Removal
We may reject or remove ads/listings that violate this Policy, the Terms, or law. We may pause campaigns for security or legal reasons.
Removal for Advertiser breach may forfeit remaining prepaid amounts as set out in the Refund Policy.
13. Payments, Refunds, and MoR
Payments may be processed by Paddle as Merchant of Record. Taxes and invoices follow Paddle’s MoR model where applicable. Refunds follow the Refund Policy and Payment Terms.
14. Data and Privacy
Campaign operations may process business contact data and technical measurement data under our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Advertisers must not pass personal data to us unlawfully and must honor their own privacy obligations on landing pages.
15. Indemnity
Advertisers agree to indemnify AInexfinder against claims arising from their creatives, products, landing pages, or regulatory non-compliance, as further stated in the Terms.
16. Changes
We may update this Policy by posting a new version. Ongoing campaigns remain subject to the Policy version in effect at purchase unless a material change requires notice under an IO.
