Advertiser Terms

1. Eligibility and account

You must be at least 18 and authorized to act for the business you advertise. Information you provide (name, website, contact email) must be accurate. Accounts are approved automatically once you verify ownership of your website and a card payment clears. We may ask for more information, and decline or close any advertiser account at our discretion.

2. Your ads

You are responsible for your ads, landing pages, offers and compliance with law, including consumer-protection, advertising-disclosure and privacy laws (such as FTC rules on truthful advertising and endorsements). You grant Heyborly a license to display, format and resize your ads on Heyborly. You confirm you own or have permission for all content you submit.

Ads are reviewed automatically by two independent AI models, including the landing page. Rejections state the reason; you may appeal each rejection once and appeals are decided by a person. Ads must link to your verified website or a recognized booking, ticketing or app-store page. Approval is not a guarantee that an ad is lawful, and we may remove any ad at any time.

3. Pricing and billing

• Heyborly Ads is prepaid. You add balance by card through Stripe ($25 to $5,000 per top-up). There are no setup or platform fees.
• You choose to pay per 1,000 viewable impressions (CPM, minimum bid $6) or per click (CPC, minimum bid $0.60). A viewable impression means at least 50% of the ad was on screen for at least one continuous second. Each click is charged at most once and only after the ad was viewable.
• Ads compete in an automated second-price auction weighted by relevance. You never pay more than your maximum bid, and spend never exceeds your daily budget (minimum $5), total budget, or balance. Campaigns pause automatically when funds run out.
• We filter invalid activity (such as repeated views from the same member, views of ads not on screen, and clicks without a view) and do not charge for it. If you believe you were charged for invalid activity, contact us within 30 days.
• Unused balance from top-ups made in the last 12 months can be refunded at any time from your dashboard, back to the original card; ordinary requests are processed automatically. Pending or uncertain refunds remain reserved until Stripe confirms the outcome; disputes and payment exceptions may need support review. Balance has no cash value otherwise, is not transferable, and does not earn interest. Taxes, if applicable, are shown at checkout.

4. Data and privacy

Targeting and measurement happen inside Heyborly. You receive aggregate reports only (views, clicks, spend, and reach once at least 50 people have seen an ad). You may not attempt to identify, re-identify, track or contact members through ads, landing-page parameters, pixels or any other method, and you may not use Heyborly ads to collect sensitive information. Clicks reach your site with only generic campaign tags.

5. Affiliated advertisers

Businesses owned by or affiliated with Heyborly or its founder (for example ottomind.dev) advertise under these same terms, prices and auction rules, receive no preferential placement, and are labeled “Founder-affiliated” on every ad.

6. Suspension and termination

We may pause campaigns or suspend advertisers who break these terms or the Ad policy, receive repeated valid member reports, or present fraud or legal risk. Unless the balance was funded fraudulently or must be withheld by law, you can request a refund of eligible unused balance in the dashboard after suspension. Refund your eligible balance and wait for pending refunds to finish before closing your account; contact support if payment reconciliation is required.

7. Disclaimers and liability

We don't guarantee any number of impressions, clicks, reach or results. Heyborly Ads is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for ads in the three months before the claim. You will indemnify Heyborly against claims arising from your ads, landing pages or products.

8. Changes and contact

We may update these terms and prices with notice in your dashboard; changes apply to campaigns from that point. Questions: our contact form.
