Respect Intellectual Property Rights
Intellectual Property is the legal rights of works that people create or invent. Intellectual property rights may include copyright, trademark, and trade secret rights, as well as the right to use someone’s name, likeness, image, or voice. Examples include photographs, videos, music (including song lyrics), trademarks/logos, brand names or brand packaging, personal names/likenesses (including anyone’s name/likenesses), quotes and writings. Creators need to make sure, before posting and adding any content on the SnapAds website that includes such elements, that they have the legal right to do so. This could be achieved in different ways, for example, by getting a written permission from the third party who owns the rights or in any other way set by the law.
Each Creator admits that the violation or infringement of any intellectual property may cause legal implications. The SnapAds website and SNAPADS INC is not responsible in any way, nor controlling what content pieces may violate any intellectual property rights, and this responsibility is fully on those who post or add such content on the SnapAds website.
The following advice can be useful:
- Creators should control what to post or share in third-party services and social networks;
- They have a proper right and/or license to use or have authorization by any third party to use any pieces of intellectual property in their publications;
- Creators need to be sure that they have permission from any third parties featured in photos and other content that they post. This might be a consent, waiver, or other form of written or verbal permission from those third parties.
This applies to any materials Creators create, post or make publicly accessible in the Internet, including on the SnapAds website.
When posting about Businesses’ products or services, Creators are solely responsible for complying with all applicable regulations, laws and guidelines.
This might mean that they must disclose in their posts or publications “material connections” with Business, and include any hashtags (such as #ad or #sponsored).
Note that when you post and make publicly accessible any content about Business, neither SnapAds nor Business will be responsible for any failure by Creator to comply with the lawful guides, local laws. They must obtain all third party clearances and permissions with respect to content they post.
Give Your Honest and Truthful Opinions
Creators’ statements in their posts or content should always reflect their honest and truthful opinions and actual experiences about products or services. We endorse all Creators to share their truthful opinion while creating content for the applied Campaign.
Each Creator should only make a factual statement about Business’ product or services, characteristics or quality which they know for certain is true.
Comply with other policies and laws
Creators should comply with the terms, conditions, guidelines and policies of any service that they use and all applicable laws including, for the avoidance of doubt, FTC guidelines, the United States Copyright and Trademark Acts, EU Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation), the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA), and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (as amended or superseded from time to time) and the ASA Guides. Creators are responsible for complying with all regulations, laws and guidelines in carrying out any statements or providing any content about Businesses products or services.

Payments
As set forth in each Campaign, Creators receive payments to their internal wallet that shows their available balance in USD. All payments, payouts and other financial actions are powered via Stripe. The SnapAds website can hold off partially or in full the amount that Creator receives as a reward through Campaigns. Creators are able to withdraw their monetary rewards to their bank accounts. The following terms and rules apply:
- Each Creator can withdraw the amount over 100 USD
- Third-party fees might take place;
In the event a Campaign in which Creators participate offers them a compensation solely via product/merchandise or cash, or to be paid via product/merchandise in lieu of some or all of a cash component the SnapAds website and SNAPADS INC is not responsible for such, does not control the payments outside the SnapAds website and and such an event is treated as Terms of Use violation.
The prices shown in each Campaign are approximate, based on what Businesses desire to pay to the Creators, but might be changed, limited or otherwise impacted by SnapAds. The payment (the total price of Campaign) is distributed by the number of views of each Creator’s post and/or publication between Creators that applied to Campaign. Note, that since this data is stored and pulled from the third-party services and/or social networks using official APIs and other integration tools, the price and/or monetary reward might be different to what each Creator expects or calculated. The price per view shown on the SnapAds website per each Campaign is an approximate amount and depends on different variables and human-factors such as
- Businesses' decision to reduce or increase the reward
- Number of Creators that applied to a campaign
- Fees of the third-party payments systems
- Other
Payment for subscriptions and postings must be made to us in the U.S. Dollars paid either by major credit or debit card, or a check drawn on a U.S. bank.
Subscription Renewals. For any subscription paid for by credit card, such subscription shall automatically renew at the expiration of the then-current term for an additional term of the same duration (as the previous term) and at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate. If such subscription was purchased by check or another form of payment other than by credit card (if such other payment form was permitted), such subscription shall not be automatically renewed. Automatic renewal applies to all subscriptions purchased by credit card. If you wish to turn off auto-renewal, you must log on to your account and manually turn off auto-renewal in your owner dashboard found on The Website, at least calendar 5 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Your subscription will remain active through the expiration of your then-current subscription term; however, your subscription will not be automatically renewed upon the expiration of your then-current term.
If the product or service that you last purchased has changed in any way or is no longer offered, you agree and authorize us to charge your credit card at the renewal of your subscription term for a product or service that is the most similar, as determined by us, to the product or service that you previously purchased, even if the price of such product or service is not the same of the prior product or service that you purchased. You agree to be responsible for any such charges, and we reserve the right to obtain payment directly from you if necessary.
All Sales are Final. No refunds are available. All sales, subscriptions, and other transactions are final.
Additional fees
The recipient of payment, such as a seller or a third party facilitating your payment transaction (“Facilitator”) may charge you additional service fees (“Facilitator Fee”) based on their terms and conditions. We recommend that you review Facilitator Fee terms before completing your payment.
In addition, a convenience fee or similar can be charged for any payment made from a checking account via the ACH network, credit card or debit card. These fees are posted at the point of sale and included within a payment. Convenience fees are paid by the payer.
