Terms

Built for independent work.

Placement terms

MarketingSpot placements are one-time purchases for a five-year display term, subject to review and continued compliance with our eligibility, safety, payment-provider, and intellectual-property rules. Purchasing secures grid space but does not require us to publish ineligible content.

Review decisions and refunds

What happens if my placement is rejected? If MarketingSpot does not accept your placement after review, you will receive a full refund.

Eligibility

Public companies, major corporate subsidiaries, franchise advertising, nudity or sexually explicit content, gambling, fraud, deceptive services, harmful products, illegal activity, and businesses prohibited by Stripe are not accepted. Restricted businesses may require additional review.

Artwork and links

You confirm that you have permission to use submitted artwork and that linked pages accurately represent the approved independent project. Every active placement must link to a working website representing the approved project. We may remove unsafe, deceptive, or materially changed destinations.

Listing removal and active websites

Member-controlled removal is permanent. Removing a placement forfeits the listing and every block in that placement, releases its squares for purchase by others, and does not create a refund, credit, replacement, or right to reuse the blocks. A removed listing cannot be changed or restored.

If a placement website remains unavailable for 30 consecutive days, MarketingSpot may remove the listing and release its squares. The owner may contact us before the period ends, or while resolving the issue, to request a 30-day extension. Additional 30-day extensions may be granted when the owner keeps us informed.

Founder-support program

The founder-support application is free and does not require a purchase, membership, or billboard placement. Assistance is limited by program capacity and selection is not guaranteed. Selected support includes 12 months of hosting, website setup, basic marketing, and website training within a scope agreed with the recipient.

Affiliate program

Buyers with active member accounts may participate in the MarketingSpot affiliate program. Eligible direct referred purchases earn a 35% commission when the buyer arrives through the member’s referral URL and completes a qualifying purchase. The program is limited to direct referrals and does not pay multi-level or sub-affiliate commissions.

Participants may not use self-referrals, spam, misleading claims, paid impersonation, cookie stuffing, fraudulent traffic, or any method that falsely attributes a purchase. Commissions may remain pending while a purchase is verified and may be withheld or reversed for refunds, disputes, chargebacks, fraud, duplicate attribution, or violations of these terms. Participants are responsible for accurate payout details, required disclosures, and their own taxes. MarketingSpot may suspend affiliate access or invalidate abusive or ineligible referrals.
