Advertiser Terms (version 2026-10-v1)

These Advertiser Terms ("Terms") are between Piss Poor Idea ("we", "us") and the business or campaign that submits an ad ("you"). You accept them when you submit an ad. If you submit for someone else, you confirm you're authorized to bind them.

1. Submission and review

  1. Every ad is reviewed by a person. We may approve, reject, pause or remove any ad at any time, for any reason, including under our Advertising Policy, which is part of these Terms.
  2. Approval covers the exact ad and destination link we reviewed. If you change either, the ad stops until we review it again.
  3. Submitting an ad doesn't create an obligation for either of us to run or buy it until we approve it and you pay our invoice. Each invoice is governed by these Terms.

2. Your promises about your ad

You promise that your ad, and any page it links to:

  1. is truthful and not misleading, and any claims in it are backed by evidence;
  2. doesn't infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity rights, and you have every license you need for its contents;
  3. complies with the Advertising Policy and with all applicable laws, including consumer-protection, advertising and privacy laws;
  4. doesn't contain or lead to malware, phishing, or pages that collect personal information without proper disclosure.

3. Political ads

  1. You are solely responsible for complying with all federal, state and local election laws that apply to your ad, including "paid for by" disclaimers, artificial-intelligence disclosures, and any reporting of the purchase.
  2. You'll give us the disclaimer exactly as the law requires, and we'll display it as you provide it. We don't provide legal advice about its wording.
  3. You agree that approved political ads, with your sponsor information, dates, impressions and clicks, are listed in our public political ad archive, including after they stop running.

4. Delivery

  1. Ads are shown when guests scan stickers at participating venues. We don't guarantee any number of impressions, clicks or conversions, any particular venue, time or position, or that any venue will stay in the network.
  2. Venues choose whether to show political ads. We may pause delivery for maintenance or to investigate a problem.
  3. Our records of impressions and clicks are final, absent demonstrable error. Counts exclude traffic we identify as automated.

5. Price and payment

  1. The price, run dates and payment terms are stated in the invoice we send after approval. Your ad starts running only after the invoice is paid, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
  2. Prices exclude taxes, which you pay where applicable.
  3. If you dispute a charge with your bank or card issuer for a campaign we delivered, instead of raising it with us first, we may pause your ads and recover the amount plus any dispute fees.
  4. You may cancel before your ad starts for a full refund. After it starts, you may cancel at any time and we'll refund the unused full days of the paid run. If we stop running your ad for reasons other than your breach of these Terms, we'll refund the unused full days too.
  5. If we remove your ad because it breaches these Terms or the Advertising Policy, no refund is due.

6. License to your ad

You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, display and distribute your ad to deliver your campaign, and to keep and display political ads in our public archive as described in section 3.

7. Indemnity

You'll defend and indemnify us, and the venues that showed your ad, against third-party claims and government actions arising from your ad, any page it links to, your products or services, or your breach of these Terms, including claims under election, advertising, consumer-protection and intellectual-property law. The venues are intended third-party beneficiaries of this section and may enforce it.

8. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

  1. The service is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, including as to results.
  2. We aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or lost profits. Our total liability to you for any campaign is limited to the amount you paid us for that campaign.

9. Your information

We use your contact information to review, deliver and invoice your campaign and to communicate about it, as described in our Privacy Policy. Advertisers receive totals, never information about individual guests.

10. Changes

We may update these Terms. The version you accepted applies to the ads you submitted under it. New submissions are governed by the version current at the time.

11. General

Michigan law governs these Terms. Disputes go to the state or federal courts for Kent County, Michigan, or to small claims court where it qualifies. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them to a successor to our business. We're independent contractors. Notices go by email: to you at the contact email you gave us, and to us at the address listed on our Terms of Use page. You agree to accept these Terms electronically. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest still applies.
