1. Acceptance of Terms

FifthBoston Ad Network ("the Network," "we," "us") is operated by FifthBoston Holdings. By accessing the dashboard at ad-admin.fifthboston.services or serving ads through our infrastructure, you ("you," "user," "account holder") accept these Terms of Service in full.

If you are using the Network on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these terms. If you do not have that authority, do not use the platform.

Plain English: Using the platform means you agree to these terms. If you disagree with anything here, the right move is to contact us before using the platform, not after.

2. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your API key and account credentials. All activity that occurs under your account is your responsibility, whether or not you authorized it.

  • You must provide accurate information when creating your account
  • You may not share your API key with third parties without prior written approval
  • You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
  • One account per person or entity; duplicate accounts may be merged or terminated
  • You must be 18 years or older to create an account

3. Advertiser Terms

As an advertiser, you are solely responsible for the content, legality, and accuracy of your ads and landing pages.

You agree to:

  • Comply with all Ad Guidelines as published at ads.fifthboston.services/ad-guidelines.html
  • Not submit ads that contain false, misleading, or deceptive claims
  • Maintain active, functional landing pages for all running creatives
  • Not engage in click fraud, impression stuffing, or any form of traffic manipulation
  • Obtain all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions for content in your ads
  • Comply with all applicable advertising laws including CAN-SPAM, FTC guidelines, and GDPR where applicable

We reserve the right to reject, pause, or remove any ad creative at our discretion. Ads removed for policy violations are not eligible for refunds of spent budget.

4. Publisher Terms

As a publisher, you agree to display ads served by FifthBoston Ad Network in compliance with the following terms.

You agree to:

  • Not place ad tags on sites that violate our Ad Guidelines content categories
  • Not artificially inflate impressions or clicks through any automated means
  • Not modify our JavaScript tags or interfere with impression/click tracking
  • Disclose ad placements to users in compliance with applicable laws
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date site registration information in your account
  • Not place ad tags on sites primarily designed to generate ad revenue without genuine content

Publishers found to be generating invalid traffic will have their accounts suspended and outstanding revenue forfeited. We conduct ongoing traffic quality audits.

5. Payments & Billing

Advertisers

Advertiser campaigns run on a prepay basis. Budget is deducted as impressions are served. Unused budget may be refunded upon written request, minus any processing fees, within 30 days of account closure. No refunds are issued for budget spent on delivered impressions.

Publishers

Publisher revenue is calculated based on verified impressions at the agreed revenue share rate (70% of gross CPM unless otherwise agreed in writing). Payments are issued monthly, net-30, for all balances above $50. Balances below $50 roll over to the following month.

  • Payment methods: ACH bank transfer, PayPal, or wire transfer for amounts over $1,000
  • Publishers must submit valid W-9 (US) or W-8BEN (international) before first payment
  • Revenue associated with invalid traffic is withheld pending investigation
  • Tax obligations are the publisher's responsibility; FifthBoston issues 1099-NEC for US publishers exceeding $600 annually

6. Intellectual Property

You retain all rights to your ad creatives and landing page content. By submitting creatives to the Network, you grant FifthBoston Holdings a limited, non-exclusive license to serve, display, and cache those creatives for the purpose of delivering your campaign.

FifthBoston Ad Network's platform, technology, trademarks, and documentation are the exclusive property of FifthBoston Holdings. You may not copy, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from any part of our platform without written permission.

7. Privacy

Your use of the Network is also subject to our Privacy Policy, available at ads.fifthboston.services/privacy.html. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

As an advertiser or publisher, you are responsible for your own compliance with applicable privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) in connection with your use of ad tracking and audience data.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, FifthBoston Holdings is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Network, including but not limited to lost revenue, lost data, or service interruptions.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the platform shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total fees you paid to us in the 90 days preceding the claim, or (b) $100.

The Network is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee specific impression volumes, click rates, revenue amounts, or campaign outcomes.

9. Termination

Either party may terminate an account at any time. You may close your account by contacting ads@fifthboston.services. We may terminate or suspend your account at any time, with or without notice, for violation of these Terms.

Upon termination:

  • Active campaigns are immediately paused
  • Publisher revenue earned through the termination date is paid out on the normal schedule, subject to traffic quality review
  • Unused advertiser budget is refunded within 30 days, minus any applicable fees
  • Your data is retained for 90 days then deleted, unless required by law

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. When we do, we will update the "Last revised" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, send notice to the email address associated with your account.

Continued use of the platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you disagree with updated terms, you must close your account before the effective date.
