Terms for publishers

1. Who we are

AdNet Africa (“we”, “us”) is run by [Registered business or company name], [Business address, town, Kenya]. You can reach us at [support email address].

2. Your account

• You must be at least 18, and able to make a binding agreement for yourself or your business.
• Give true details and keep them up to date. Keep your password secret: you are responsible for what is done with your account.
• The M-Pesa number you withdraw to must be yours or your business's.

3. Your sites

• You may only add websites and apps you own or run, and you prove it before ads show. We review every site, and may refuse or suspend any.
• Your site must not contain anything illegal in Kenya, pornography, pirated films, music or software, hate speech, malware, or betting and loans from unlicensed providers. The same kinds of content that our ad content rules forbid in ads are not allowed around them either.

4. The ad code and fair traffic

Put our code on your approved sites without changing it. To keep advertisers’ trust, you must not:

• click your own ads, or ask, pay or reward anyone to view or click them;
• use bots, scripts, pop-ups, automatic refreshing or anything else that creates views or clicks that aren’t real;
• hide ads, stack them on top of each other, or make them look like your own content or buttons;
• put the code on sites we haven’t approved.

5. Your earnings

• You earn a share of what advertisers pay for counted views and clicks on your sites, currently 60%. We may change the share; the new share applies only to views and clicks after the change, and we tell you beforehand.
• Our count is final, except for clear mistakes. We filter out traffic that isn’t from real people, and you earn nothing for it.
• Earnings wait 14 days before you can withdraw them (the holding period). If we find that views or clicks were invalid, we take back the earnings from them that are still waiting, and return the money to the advertisers.
• You are responsible for your own taxes on your earnings. [Withholding tax, if any, to be confirmed with your accountant.]

6. Withdrawals

• You can withdraw available earnings once they reach KES 1,000 (or the smallest withdrawal set for your currency): by M-Pesa in Kenya, or by transfer in other countries. One withdrawal per currency can wait at a time.
• We pay withdrawals within [number] working days. We may ask you to confirm who you are first. [Say who pays M-Pesa charges.]

7. Your visitors' privacy

Ads are shown by our code on your pages. To count views and stop fraud it keeps a random number in each visitor’s browser and looks at their internet address and browser (see the privacy policy). Your own privacy policy must tell your visitors that ads on your site are provided by AdNet Africa, and you must meet the Data Protection Act, 2019 for your own site.

8. Suspending or closing an account

If you break these terms or we suspect fraud, we may suspend your sites or account at once, hold back earnings that are still waiting, and take back earnings from invalid traffic. We will tell you why, unless the law prevents us. You can stop at any time by removing our code and writing to [support email address]; available earnings above the minimum are then paid out.

9. Responsibility, changes, law

• We provide the service as it is, and can’t promise any amount of earnings or that ads will always be available for your site.
• Our total responsibility to you is limited to what we paid you in the 3 months before the problem. [Limit to be confirmed by your advocate.]
• We may change these terms, and will tell you at least 14 days before important changes take effect.
• These terms are governed by the laws of Kenya. We will first try to settle any disagreement by talking; if that fails, the courts of Kenya decide.
