Freebuff Advertiser Terms of Service

Version 2026-09-16-v1. Effective September 16, 2026.

These Freebuff Advertiser Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between Freebuff, Inc. ("Freebuff," "we," "us," or "our") and the person or entity that creates an advertiser account, submits a campaign, or otherwise uses the Freebuff Ads Services ("Advertiser," "you," or "your").

By creating an advertiser account, accepting these Terms in the Freebuff Ads console, submitting or funding a campaign, using an advertiser API key, or otherwise using the Ads Services, you agree to these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Ads Services.

1. Scope and related terms

1.1 What these Terms cover. These Terms govern your use of the Freebuff Ads console at freebuff.com/ads, the advertiser APIs and MCP server, the advertiser documentation, and every advertising product we offer through them (together, the "Ads Services").

1.2 Order of precedence. If you and Freebuff have signed a separate insertion order, pilot agreement, or other written agreement covering your advertising (an "Order"), that Order controls over these Terms to the extent of any conflict. Otherwise these Terms are the entire agreement between you and Freebuff for the Ads Services.

1.3 Related documents. Your own use of Freebuff's products as a developer is governed by the Freebuff Terms of Service at freebuff.com/terms-of-service. Our Privacy Policy at freebuff.com/privacy-policy describes how we handle personal information, including the information of the developers who see your ads. Our Data Security Overview at freebuff.com/ads/security describes our security practices for the Ads Services. The Advertising Policies in Section 7 are part of these Terms.

2. Definitions

  • "Ad" means any advertisement, creative, promoted post, sponsored proposal, or other promotional content you submit for delivery through the Ads Services, including its text, images, links, brand assets, tracking parameters, and any Sponsored Procedure.
  • "Campaign" means a configured set of Ads, settings, budgets, and targeting that you submit for delivery.
  • "Surfaces" means the Freebuff products and properties on which we deliver Ads, which may include the Freebuff CLI, Freebuff Desktop, Freebuff Web, Freebuff Cloud, Freebuff Chat, freebuff.com, and any other property we add.
  • "Users" means the developers and other people who use Freebuff's products and who see, click, engage with, or accept Ads.
  • "Placement Campaign" means a Campaign that delivers Ads inside Users' coding sessions or on Freebuff Surfaces and is billed per click, per conversion, or per activation as described in Section 8.
  • "Engagement Campaign" means a Campaign that promotes a post you already published on a third-party platform (such as X, LinkedIn, Reddit, or GitHub) to Users who may choose to engage with it on that platform, billed as described in Section 8.
  • "Sponsored Proposal" means an Ad in which a Freebuff agent offers to carry out a task you have defined (a "Sponsored Procedure") in a User's own project, which the User may accept or decline.
  • "Click Identifier" means the opaque, signed identifier we attach to a click on your Ad so that you can report a conversion back to us.
  • "Conversion Data" means the events and identifiers you send to us through our conversion postback API, hosted tag, or identity-matching features.
  • "Reporting Data" means the delivery, click, spend, conversion, and related metrics and records we make available to you through the console, the reporting API, exports, and statements.
  • "Fees" means all amounts payable for the Ads Services, including click, conversion, activation, and engagement charges, daily rates, and any other charges described at the time of purchase.
  • "Invalid Traffic" means clicks, conversions, engagements, activations, impressions, or other events that we determine, using reasonable judgment, were not generated by a genuine User acting in good faith. Invalid Traffic includes traffic from automated clients, scripts, or bots; traffic from accounts we have banned or classified as abusive; events with impossible ordering or timing; abnormal bursts; placements that were never rendered; Freebuff's own testing traffic; and repeated events that duplicate an event already counted.

3. Accounts, teams, and credentials

3.1 Account information. You must provide accurate, complete, and current company, contact, website, and billing information and keep it up to date. Some of this information is reviewed when we approve your account and can be changed afterward only by contacting us.

3.2 Eligibility. The Ads Services are available only to businesses and to individuals acting for business purposes. Each person who accesses your account must be at least 18 years old.

3.3 Owner and members. Every advertiser account has one owner and may have additional team members. Members can build, submit, fund, pause, and manage Campaigns, add a payment method, and create API keys. Only the owner can accept these Terms on your behalf and manage the team. You are responsible for every action taken through your account by the owner, any member, any API key, and any agent or automation acting with your credentials.

3.4 Credentials. Keep your sign-in credentials and API keys confidential. API keys are shown once when they are created and can be revoked at any time from the console. If you believe a credential has been compromised, revoke it and notify us at support@codebuff.com. We are not responsible for loss caused by unauthorized use of credentials that you failed to protect.

3.5 Email verification and communications. We may require you to verify your email address before certain actions. We may send account, billing, review, and service communications to the owner and members at the addresses on the account.

4. Review and approval

4.1 Everything may be reviewed. Freebuff reviews advertiser accounts, Campaigns, Ads, landing pages, tracking configurations, engagement briefs, and Sponsored Procedures before and after they go live. We may ask for additional information before approving anything.

4.2 Our discretion. We may approve, reject, pause, limit, or remove any account, Campaign, or Ad, and may withhold inventory, at any time and for any reason, including safety, quality, legal, brand, billing, technical, or operational reasons. Approval is not an endorsement, does not shift responsibility for your Ads to Freebuff, and may be withdrawn.

4.3 Activation. An approved Placement Campaign starts paused. It begins delivering only once it has been activated, has funding available, and passes our go-live checks. Certain billing terms of an approved Campaign, such as its rate, its billing model, and its billable conversion event, are set or confirmed during review and can be changed afterward only by us or with our agreement.

4.4 No guarantees. We do not guarantee that any account, Campaign, or Ad will be approved, or that an approved Campaign will deliver any particular number of impressions, clicks, conversions, engagements, or results, or will deliver at any particular time, position, frequency, or pace.

5. Your Ads and your responsibilities

5.1 Ownership and rights. You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed for your Ads, brand assets, landing pages, engagement briefs, and Sponsored Procedures, and to grant the license in Section 5.2.

5.2 License to Freebuff. You grant Freebuff a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, adapt (for example, to fit a placement), display, transmit, distribute, and otherwise use your Ads and brand assets in order to deliver, review, test, measure, and improve the Ads Services, to display them on the Surfaces, and to show them in your own reporting. This license ends when the relevant Ad is removed, except that we may keep copies as needed for records, disputes, legal compliance, and the delivery and billing history described in Section 10.5.

5.3 Accuracy and law. Your Ads and landing pages must be accurate, must not be misleading, and must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry codes, including consumer protection, advertising, endorsement and testimonial, privacy, data protection, intellectual property, export control, and sanctions laws in every jurisdiction where your Ads are delivered or your landing pages are directed.

5.4 Landing pages and destinations. Every destination you link to must be your own or one you are authorized to promote, must work, must use HTTPS, must match what the Ad describes, and must clearly disclose the material terms of any offer. Destinations must not install software, collect data, or perform actions without the User's clear knowledge and consent.

5.5 Engagement Campaigns. For Engagement Campaigns, the post you promote must be one you published and control on the third-party platform. Your brief may describe what the post is about and what you would like people to consider. It must not instruct Users to make specific claims, to say anything false or misleading, to conceal that they discovered the post through Freebuff, or to violate the third-party platform's rules. Users write their own words and engage under their own names, and Freebuff does not control what they say. You are responsible for compliance with the endorsement, disclosure, and platform rules that apply to promoting your post.

5.6 Sponsored Proposals. A Sponsored Procedure is executed only if a User accepts it, and it runs in that User's environment under the safeguards we apply. Your Sponsored Procedure must do only what its description discloses; must not collect, transmit, or exfiltrate a User's code, credentials, data, or personal information beyond what is necessary and disclosed; must not include obfuscated, hidden, or malicious behavior; must not modify a User's project outside the scope of the accepted task; and must comply with the Advertising Policies. We may review, modify, restrict, or refuse any Sponsored Procedure, and we may cap the number of executions.

5.7 Third-party platforms and services. Your use of any third-party platform, service, or tool in connection with your Ads is governed by that third party's terms, and you are responsible for complying with them.

6. Delivery, targeting, and measurement

6.1 How delivery works. We decide when, where, how often, in what format, and to which Users your Ads are delivered, within the settings you choose. Delivery depends on available inventory, review status, your budget and caps, pacing, frequency limits, competing Ads, User behavior, and other factors. We may deliver our own promotions and other advertisers' Ads alongside yours.

6.2 Targeting. Any targeting or exclusion controls we offer only narrow delivery. Where we cannot resolve a control for a given User or request, we apply it as described in the console. You may not use, and we will not provide, targeting based on sensitive characteristics such as race or ethnicity, religion, health, sexual orientation, or precise location, or targeting that discriminates unlawfully.

6.3 Measurement holdouts and testing. We may withhold Ads from a fixed group of Users to measure the effect of advertising, run experiments, and test formats. You are not billed for opportunities withheld for measurement, and holdout membership is not disclosed.

6.4 Reporting Data. We make Reporting Data available through the console, the reporting API, exports, and monthly statements. Reporting Data is based on our records, which are the definitive record of delivery and charges absent manifest error. Live figures may be revised as records settle; we identify which figures are settled.

6.5 Changes to the Ads Services. We may change, add, suspend, or discontinue any product, placement, format, feature, or Surface at any time. Features described as beta, pilot, experimental, or preview may change or end without notice and may be offered at no charge.

7. Advertising Policies

The following policies apply to every Ad, landing page, engagement brief, and Sponsored Procedure. We may update these policies as described in Section 16, and we interpret them in our reasonable discretion.

7.1 Prohibited content. Ads must not promote, contain, or link to:

  • illegal products, services, or activities, or content that facilitates them;
  • false, deceptive, unsubstantiated, or misleading claims, including fake reviews, fake scarcity, misleading pricing, or claims of affiliation with or endorsement by Freebuff;
  • malware, spyware, phishing, credential harvesting, cryptomining, or any software or destination that harms or deceives Users or their systems;
  • content that is sexually explicit, that promotes violence, self-harm, or hatred, or that harasses, threatens, or demeans any person or group;
  • weapons, tobacco, vaping products, recreational drugs, or gambling and betting services, unless we have approved the specific Campaign in writing and the content is lawful in every jurisdiction where it is delivered;
  • financial products or services, cryptocurrency offerings, or investment opportunities that are unregistered where registration is required, that promise guaranteed returns, or that are otherwise misleading;
  • products or services directed at children, or content that is inappropriate for a professional developer audience;
  • content that infringes or misappropriates any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, privacy right, publicity right, or other right;
  • tools or services designed to violate the terms of any Freebuff product, including tools that automate Freebuff, abuse free tiers, or resell Freebuff access.

7.2 Prohibited practices. You must not:

  • generate, purchase, or incentivize clicks, conversions, engagements, activations, or other events on your own Ads, or use bots, scripts, click farms, or similar means to inflate results;
  • report false or fabricated Conversion Data, or report conversions that did not happen or that belong to a different click;
  • attempt to identify individual Users from Click Identifiers, timestamps, Reporting Data, or any other data we provide, or combine our data with other data for that purpose;
  • collect Users' personal information through an Ad or destination without clear notice and a lawful basis, or use dark patterns to obtain consent;
  • design Ads to look like Freebuff system messages, agent output, errors, or notifications, or to disguise their commercial nature;
  • circumvent or interfere with review, frequency limits, budgets, caps, rate limits, safety controls, or measurement;
  • use the Ads Services, the APIs, or the MCP server in a way that degrades the service for others, or scrape or harvest data from Freebuff;
  • misrepresent your identity, your relationship with Freebuff, or the nature of your product.

7.3 Enforcement. We may reject, pause, or remove any Ad or Campaign, suspend or terminate any account, withhold or reverse charges and credits, and take any other action we consider appropriate for a violation of these policies. Repeated or serious violations may result in permanent termination.

8. Pricing, budgets, and billing

8.1 Prices. Prices are shown in United States dollars in the console or agreed with us during review. The applicable rate for a Placement Campaign is fixed when a click, conversion, or activation is recorded, so a later price change does not alter what an earlier event cost. We may change prices for future delivery; a change takes effect when we notify you or when you next submit or edit a Campaign, whichever comes first.

8.2 Placement Campaigns. Placement Campaigns are billed per valid click (CPC), per valid reported conversion (CPA), or per valid activation, as configured for the Campaign during review. A CPC charge occurs when a User clicks your Ad. A CPA charge occurs at most once per click, when you report the Campaign's billable conversion event for that click within the Campaign's attribution window (up to 30 days). Conversion events other than the billable event are recorded for reporting and are not charged. Repeated clicks by the same User on the same Campaign within a short period may be counted as a single click.

8.3 Daily caps and total budgets. Each Placement Campaign has a daily cap and may have a total budget. These are limits on what we will charge: you will not be charged more than your daily cap in a day or more than your total budget over the life of the Campaign, and delivery that would exceed a cap is absorbed by us rather than charged to you. Caps are limits, not commitments; we may deliver less than a cap. Days are measured in Pacific Time.

8.4 Engagement Campaigns. Engagement Campaigns are priced as a daily rate that you choose within the range offered in the console. The daily rate is both the price and the delivery cap. It is charged for each day the Campaign is active, as a daily subscription for as long as the Campaign runs, and each verified engagement draws a fixed amount (currently $0.50) against that day's rate, so the rate determines the maximum number of engagements we will deliver that day. You are charged the daily rate whether or not the full number of engagements is delivered. Pausing a Campaign stops both delivery and collection for the days it is paused; ending a Campaign cancels its subscription. Changing the daily rate changes what is charged from the next billing day.

8.5 Sponsored Proposals. A Sponsored Proposal is charged only when a User accepts it, at the Campaign's rate. Impressions, views, declines, and the later outcome of the accepted task are not charged.

8.6 Funding. Depending on your account, you fund Campaigns by adding a prepaid balance through our payment processor, by keeping a payment method on file that we charge for accrued Fees, or by a daily subscription for Engagement Campaigns. Prepaid funds are applied to charges as they accrue. Where we extend a credit line, accrued Fees are charged to your payment method on the schedule we describe in the console, and we may set, change, or withdraw credit limits at any time. If a charge would exceed your available balance or credit, we may stop delivery.

8.7 Payment processing. Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor under its terms. You authorize us and our processor to charge your payment method for Fees when due, including recurring daily charges for Engagement Campaigns and periodic charges of accrued Fees. You must keep a valid payment method on file while you have an active Campaign or an outstanding balance.

8.8 Failed payments and disputes. If a payment fails, we may pause delivery until it is resolved. You must raise any dispute about a charge within thirty (30) days after the charge appears on your statement; after that, the charge is final. Initiating a chargeback for advertising that was delivered may result in immediate suspension of your account and recovery of the amount together with our costs.

8.9 Refunds. Except where required by law or expressly stated in these Terms, Fees and prepaid funds are non-refundable. If we close your account without cause, we will refund on request any unused prepaid balance that you paid for, excluding promotional credit. Charges for days on which an Engagement Campaign was active are not refunded.

8.10 Promotional credit and incentives. Promotional credit, referral rewards, sponsored pilots, and similar incentives have no cash value, cannot be withdrawn or transferred, may expire, are applied before your own funds, and may be limited, changed, or revoked at any time, including for suspected abuse. Spend paid with promotional credit does not count toward any spend-based incentive.

8.11 Taxes. Fees do not include taxes. You are responsible for all sales, use, value-added, goods and services, withholding, and similar taxes, other than taxes on our net income. If you are required to withhold, you will pay us an additional amount so that we receive the full Fees.

9. Invalid Traffic and corrections

9.1 Not billable. Invalid Traffic is not billable. We use automated systems and human review to identify Invalid Traffic before and after billing.

9.2 Our determination. We determine Invalid Traffic using reasonable judgment. To protect our detection systems and our Users, we do not disclose per-event fraud signals, thresholds, User identities, or another advertiser's data, and our determination is final.

9.3 Corrections. If we determine that charged events were Invalid Traffic, we correct the charge. Corrections reference the original charge and are applied first against any unpaid amount; amounts you have already paid are refunded or credited to your balance. Corrections may appear in reporting as aggregate adjustments. A correction is your sole remedy for Invalid Traffic.

9.4 Your conduct. If we determine that you, or anyone acting for you, generated or encouraged Invalid Traffic or reported false Conversion Data, we may reverse related credits, keep any amounts paid, suspend or terminate your account, and pursue any other remedy.

10. Tracking, Conversion Data, and data you send us

10.1 Your integration. You are responsible for implementing and maintaining any conversion postback, hosted tag, tracked link, or other integration correctly, including capturing and storing Click Identifiers on your own site, sending accurate event names and idempotency keys, and keeping your integration in test mode until it is ready. We provide test-mode credentials and documentation for this purpose.

10.2 What you may send. You may send us only the Conversion Data described in our documentation, and only data that you have the right to send. You must not send us personal information other than what a feature expressly accepts. Where a feature accepts an email address or a hashed email address to match a conversion to a click, you may send it only if you have provided the notices and obtained any consent required by applicable law for that disclosure and for our use of it to match and report the conversion. We hash email addresses on receipt, use them only to look up your own clicks, and do not store them in clear text.

10.3 Consent signals. If you send a consent signal indicating that a User has not consented to advertising data use, we honor it as described in our documentation, and you must not send identifying data for that event.

10.4 Roles. For Conversion Data, you and Freebuff are each independent controllers (or the equivalent under applicable law) of the personal information each of us holds, and each of us is responsible for our own compliance. Nothing in these Terms makes either party the processor or service provider of the other. If your use of the Ads Services requires additional data-protection terms under applicable law, contact us at support@codebuff.com.

10.5 Records. We keep a durable record of clicks, attributions, conversions, and charges for reporting, billing, and dispute resolution, even after a Campaign is deleted. Deleted Campaigns are shown under a neutral name in exports.

11. Reporting Data, User data, and confidentiality

11.1 What you receive. You receive aggregate delivery, spend, and adjustment reporting; Click Identifiers; your own reported conversion results; and the other Reporting Data we make available to you.

11.2 What you do not receive. You do not receive Users' prompts, code, repositories, files, identities, contact details, or private content; per-event validity reasons; another advertiser's Campaigns, prices, allocations, or data; or any other non-public information about Users or Freebuff. Click Identifiers are opaque and are not designed to identify anyone.

11.3 Permitted use of Reporting Data. You may use Reporting Data only to manage, measure, and optimize your advertising with Freebuff and for your internal business analysis. You may share it with your service providers who need it for those purposes and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these Terms. You must not sell, license, or publish Reporting Data, use it to identify or profile Users, or use it to build or improve any advertising or measurement product that competes with the Ads Services. Freebuff owns Reporting Data and all data it derives from operating the Ads Services.

11.4 Confidentiality. "Confidential Information" means non-public information disclosed by one party to the other in connection with the Ads Services that is marked confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential, including rates, pricing, allocations, product plans, security information, and unreleased features. The receiving party will use Confidential Information only to perform under these Terms, will protect it with at least reasonable care, and will disclose it only to its personnel and advisors who need to know it and who are bound by confidentiality obligations. Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, that the receiving party already knew, that it independently develops, or that it lawfully receives from a third party. A party may disclose Confidential Information when required by law, after giving reasonable notice where permitted. These obligations last for three (3) years after termination, and indefinitely for trade secrets and security information.

11.5 Publicity. We may identify you as a Freebuff advertiser, including by displaying your name and logo in the console, on freebuff.com, and in marketing materials, unless you tell us in writing at support@codebuff.com not to. Neither party will issue a press release about the relationship without the other's approval.

11.6 Feedback. If you give us suggestions, ideas, or other feedback about the Ads Services, we may use it without restriction or compensation.

12. Intellectual property

The Ads Services, the Surfaces, our software, documentation, designs, trademarks, and all related intellectual property are owned by Freebuff and its licensors. Except for the limited right to use the Ads Services as described in these Terms, no rights are granted to you. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the Ads Services, and you may not use Freebuff's name, logos, or trademarks except as we permit in writing. As between you and Freebuff, you own your Ads and brand assets.

13. Disclaimers

THE ADS SERVICES, THE SURFACES, AND ALL REPORTING DATA ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FREEBUFF DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. FREEBUFF DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE ADS SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE; THAT ANY AD WILL BE DELIVERED; THAT REPORTING DATA WILL BE COMPLETE OR ACCURATE; OR THAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ADS ARE DELIVERED THROUGH AI-DRIVEN DEVELOPER TOOLS WHOSE OUTPUT AND BEHAVIOR MAY VARY, AND THAT SPONSORED PROCEDURES RUN IN USERS' OWN ENVIRONMENTS THAT FREEBUFF DOES NOT CONTROL.

14. Indemnification and limitation of liability

14.1 Your indemnity. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Freebuff and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: your Ads, brand assets, landing pages, products, or services; your engagement briefs and Sponsored Procedures and anything they do; Conversion Data or other data you send us; your breach of these Terms or the Advertising Policies; or your violation of any law or of the rights of any person. We may participate in the defense with our own counsel at our expense, and you will not settle any claim that imposes obligations on us without our written consent.

14.2 Exclusion of certain damages. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE ADS SERVICES, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

14.3 Cap. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FREEBUFF'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE ADS SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR THE FEES YOU PAID TO FREEBUFF IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

14.4 Exceptions. The exclusions and the cap above do not apply to your payment obligations, your indemnification obligations, either party's breach of Section 11.4, your breach of the Advertising Policies, either party's fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

15. Term, suspension, and termination

15.1 Term. These Terms apply from the moment you first use the Ads Services and continue until terminated.

15.2 Termination by you. You may stop using the Ads Services at any time by pausing or ending your Campaigns and asking us to close your account. Ending a Campaign stops future charges for it; charges already accrued remain payable.

15.3 Suspension and termination by us. We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Ads Services at any time, with or without notice, including for breach of these Terms, suspected Invalid Traffic or fraud, non-payment, legal or regulatory reasons, risk to Users or to Freebuff, or discontinuation of the Ads Services.

15.4 Effect. On termination, your Campaigns stop and all accrued Fees become due. Sections 5.2 (for retained copies), 8, 9, 10.5, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.4, 16, and 17 survive, together with any other provision that by its nature should survive.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms, including the Advertising Policies, from time to time. Each version is identified by a version number and an effective date. We will post the updated Terms in the console and, for material changes, notify the account owner by email or in the console before they take effect. The account owner must accept the current version before starting a new Campaign or making another new commercial commitment. Continuing to use the Ads Services after the effective date of an updated version means you accept it. If you do not agree to an updated version, stop using the Ads Services and end your Campaigns.

17. General

17.1 Governing law and venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Except where applicable law requires otherwise, the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Ads Services, and each party consents to those courts.

17.2 Compliance and sanctions. You represent that you and your affiliates are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a country or territory subject to comprehensive United States sanctions, and are not listed on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You will comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws.

17.3 Independent parties. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.

17.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

17.5 Notices. We may give you notice by email to the account owner or by posting in the console. You may give us notice by email to support@codebuff.com. Notices are effective when sent.

17.6 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except for payment obligations.

17.7 Waiver and severability. A party's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision or of any other. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

17.8 Electronic acceptance. These Terms may be accepted electronically, and electronic records of acceptance are valid and enforceable. We keep a record of the version and text you accepted, when, and from where.

17.9 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any Order and the documents referenced in Section 1.3, are the entire agreement between you and Freebuff regarding the Ads Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, and representations on that subject. Any terms in a purchase order or similar document you send us are rejected.
