RESTRICTIONS

#Terms & Conditions ##Copyright – Trademarks – Branding The use of the Google API on any content site created to market any IAC offer is prohibited. This includes the use of the Google autofill, providing directions to the end user through the Google API or the use of a Google Map on a content site. Immediate action and chargebacks will ensue if an affiliate is caught using a Google API in any way. - No publisher marketing method may use an API or any other means to gate content behind an install marketing an IAC product. If a user is presented with search fields, the results must be clearly displayed alongside promotion of our offer (no pop-unders, windows too small to read the content, etc.). Examples of what's allowed / prohibited can be seen here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwUEp3GSxB_HZU1QN2xxbnowWjQ/view?usp=sharing The use of Mapquest, Google and all of its affiliated brands (Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, etc) are no longer allowed on new hosted landing pages, intermediary/splash pages on any non-hosted offers and/or in any adcopy used by publishers. - Cannot use a Mindspark logo in a way that implies ownership of the third-party hosted site and all Terms of Service and Privacy Policy on third-party hosted site must be third-party's (not Mindspark's). - Trademarks (terms, logos, names, products, companies, etc.) should not be used unless a partnership between the licensor and Mindspark is clearly stated. Please check with a Marketing Manager to confirm the ability to use a brand prior to inclusion. - Third-party brands cannot be singularly focused on; brands can only be mentioned in multiples E.g. for an InboxAce ad/page, the ad/page would not be able to just reference Hotmail® but rather at least two of the associated brands. - Exception – The following brands CANNOT be included in any creative whatsoever: MapQuest, Google and all of its affiliated brands (Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, etc.) - Proper Trademark or Registered symbol should be included next to each mention of our brand names on pages that are hosted by third parties. Only textual references can be made to third-party brands approved for inclusion. - No third-party brands or Mindspark branding may appear in the Tab Title of a page. - Domains purchased CANNOT use any branded or trademark terms within it. E.g. "www.google.server1.com", "www.mickeymousesite11.com", etc. ##Content - Site must accurately reflect the content available, including quantity and types/categories. No "bait and switch".I.e. Statements such as "thousands of recipes available" or "every card printable" must be true. - Third-party hosted sites must include a prominent reference to the toolbar download near the top of the page. The download cannot be made to appear optional. - Use of "Free": Free can be used in copy but cannot be used with absolutes; no "always free", no "100% free", no "completely free". These are misleading statements because users have to download a toolbar (and in some cases register) to access content. "Free with toolbar download" or "Download Free Toolbar" are accurate and acceptable. However, the term "free" should be avoided if an upsell option may occur at any point in the download process. - Pages should be completely self-contained and cannot contain advertising or links to 3rd party sites or unrelated offers, including blogs that reference third-party content. - Affiliates and networks are responsible for acquiring all necessary rights to display the images used on their sites. Images affiliates or networks do not have rights to cannot be used. Claims have to represent the product accurately. If you want to say "Save up to 75% off retail price!" you should qualify this by saying "*Based on availability" or err on the side of caution and check with Mindspark Compliance or a Marketing Manager. - Do not include ads for other companies on a Mindspark page. Serving ads from Google on a page marketing on of our offers is expressly prohibited. - Third-party affiliate sites cannot use and display any Mindspark assets in any format (thumbnail, previews, product logo, etc.) with the exception of the toolbar image. - Do not use language that can lead users to believe they are downloading a specific images or assets marketed on a page.E.g. "Get this cat screensaver" should be "Get cat screensavers". - If applicable, include a disclaimer on the page stating images used are only representative of the categories of products (such as screensavers). - All sites or landing pages which contain third-party content or games must comply with the standards agreed upon with the third-party and Mindspark. - All marketing materials must accurately represent the features of the product. If you are unsure of the features of a product, please download it and familiarize yourself with what its capabilities are prior to marketing it. E.g. InboxAce does not allow a user to check mail directly from the toolbar, no ads should make this claim. It does not provide access to Zoho Mail so no ads should make this claim. - Using singular trademarks/brandnames in URL's or in adcopy may result in chargebacks. - We will not tolerate, nor pay for, any downloads that come in as a result of non-compliance of the guidelines listed below.
