Advertising Terms & Conditions
The rules that govern businesses and organizations advertising on Scoutletic.
1. Scope and Acceptance
These Advertising Terms and Conditions (the "Advertising Terms") govern any business, organization or individual (the "Advertiser") that purchases, orders or places advertising, sponsorships or promotional content ("Advertising") on Scoutletic, operated by Lafoba. They apply in addition to the Scoutletic Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. By submitting a campaign order, accepting a proposal or invoice, or placing Advertising on Scoutletic, the Advertiser agrees to these Advertising Terms.
Scoutletic serves a community that includes minors. Advertisers are responsible for understanding this audience and for complying with all applicable laws, including those that protect children.
2. Advertiser Responsibility for Content and Claims
The Advertiser is solely responsible for the accuracy, legality and substantiation of all Advertising it submits, including all statements, claims, offers, pricing and representations. The Advertiser must be able to support any claim made in its Advertising and must not submit content that is false, misleading or deceptive.
3. Rights and Permissions
The Advertiser represents and warrants that it owns, or has obtained all necessary rights, licenses and permissions to use, all logos, images, trademarks, names, text, copy and other materials submitted as part of its Advertising ("Creative"). The Advertiser is responsible for ensuring its Creative does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other rights of any third party.
4. Approval, Rejection and Changes
Scoutletic may approve, reject, request changes to, pause, suspend or remove any Advertising at any time, with or without notice, including Advertising that violates these Advertising Terms, creates safety concerns, or is otherwise inappropriate for the Scoutletic community. Scoutletic may exercise this right in its discretion, and payment for a campaign does not by itself guarantee that Creative will be approved or published.
5. Payment
Advertising must be paid for in accordance with the applicable campaign order or invoice. Advertiser payments are initially handled manually through Stripe invoices and are verified as paid before a campaign becomes active. Payment of an invoice confirms the financial arrangement only; Creative is reviewed and approved separately, and payment does not itself constitute approval of any Creative or guarantee placement.
6. Campaign Scheduling, Placement and Targeting
Campaign start and end dates, placements and any contextual targeting are specified by the applicable campaign order. Advertising may appear in areas such as the dashboard or main feed, discovery and search results, member profile pages, team pages and parent-facing areas. Eligibility to appear may be determined using contextual factors such as the page or placement, the sport associated with the relevant content, and broad account type, such as Athlete, Scout, Coach, Manager or Parent. Scoutletic does not build behavioral advertising profiles of children.
7. Cancellation and Refunds
Cancellation and refund rules are set out in the applicable campaign order or invoice. Unless a written campaign order states otherwise, amounts for Advertising that has already been delivered are non-refundable, and Scoutletic may retain fees for the portion of a campaign that has run. If Scoutletic removes or suspends Advertising because it violates these Advertising Terms, Scoutletic is not required to provide a refund for the affected placements.
8. No Guaranteed Results
Unless expressly included in a written campaign order, Scoutletic does not guarantee any specific number of impressions, clicks, leads, conversions, recruiting outcomes, sales or other results. Advertising performance depends on many factors outside Scoutletic's control.
9. Destination Sites, Products and Offers
The Advertiser is solely responsible for its destination websites, landing pages, products, services, offers and claims, and for compliance of those destinations with applicable law. Scoutletic is not responsible for third-party websites, products, services or transactions that users reach through Advertising.
10. License to Display Creative
The Advertiser grants Scoutletic a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, format, resize and display the Advertiser's Creative for the purpose of delivering and reporting on the campaign. This license lasts for the duration of the campaign and for a reasonable period afterward for recordkeeping and reporting, and does not transfer ownership of the Creative to Scoutletic.
11. Advertising Content Standards
Advertising must not promote, facilitate or depict any of the following, and Scoutletic may reject or remove Advertising in these or related categories:
- Alcohol, tobacco, nicotine and vaping products.
- Illegal or recreational drugs.
- Gambling and sports betting, particularly where minors may be exposed.
- Pornographic, adult sexual or age-inappropriate content.
- Dating services directed toward minors.
- Weapons and dangerous products.
- Scams, phishing, malware and deceptive offers.
- Fraudulent recruiting or scouting opportunities.
- Misleading scholarship claims.
- Exploitative content involving minors.
- Unsafe or unlawful products or services.
- Misleading health or athletic-performance claims.
- Unsafe performance-enhancing drugs or products.
- Counterfeit goods.
- Advertising designed to improperly obtain children's personal information.
Scoutletic reserves the right to reject any Advertising it determines is inappropriate for the audience or inconsistent with platform safety or integrity, even if the category is not specifically listed above. Suspicious or inappropriate advertisements can be reported to safety@scoutletic.com.
12. Campaign Measurement and Reporting
Scoutletic records aggregate campaign performance such as impressions, clicks, click-through rate, placement performance and campaign dates. Advertisers receive aggregate campaign reporting only. Scoutletic does not provide advertisers with lists identifying individual users or children who viewed or clicked an advertisement, and does not disclose private messages or private profile information to advertisers.
Because of differences in measurement methods, filtering of invalid or automated activity, time zones and the exclusion of administrator previews and test impressions, the figures reported by Scoutletic may differ from figures recorded by an Advertiser's own analytics. Scoutletic's measurements govern for billing and reporting purposes unless a written campaign order states otherwise.
13. Acceptance Workflow and Records
For paid Advertising, campaign details are agreed with the Advertiser, the Advertiser is provided with or linked to these Advertising Terms, and the Advertiser affirmatively accepts them. A Stripe invoice is then issued and verified as paid, payment is recorded, Creative is reviewed and approved separately, and the campaign becomes scheduled or active according to its dates. Where acceptance is captured electronically, Scoutletic may store the accepted version of these Advertising Terms and the acceptance details; where acceptance is handled by email during the initial manual process, Scoutletic preserves the relevant acceptance or order record.
14. No Endorsement or Other Relationship
The purchase or placement of Advertising does not create any endorsement, partnership, joint venture, agency, employment or recruiting relationship between Scoutletic and the Advertiser. The appearance of Advertising does not constitute Scoutletic's endorsement, recommendation or guarantee of the Advertiser or its products, services, claims or offers.
15. Indemnity and Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Advertiser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Scoutletic and Lafoba from claims, damages, losses and expenses arising out of or related to its Advertising, Creative, destination sites, offers, claims or breach of these Advertising Terms. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Scoutletic's aggregate liability relating to Advertising is limited to the amounts paid for the affected campaign. Nothing in these Advertising Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. These provisions are subject to review by qualified legal counsel before production launch.
16. Governing Law and Disputes
These Advertising Terms are governed by, and disputes are resolved consistently with, the governing law and dispute provisions of the Scoutletic Terms of Service.
17. Changes and Contact
Scoutletic may update these Advertising Terms as its advertising practices change, and may maintain version records so it can establish which version governed a particular campaign.
