These Terms govern your use of the Ad In Media website and advertising platform ("the Service"), operated by Ad In Media ("we," "us"). Ad In Media runs an in-store digital advertising network across Southern California. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
By accessing or using the Service, you confirm you are at least 18 years old, are acting for a business, and have authority to accept these Terms on that business's behalf. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping your password confidential, and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at legal@adin-media.com if you suspect unauthorized use.
You represent that you own or are licensed to use everything in your ad creative and that it is truthful, lawful, and not defamatory, deceptive, infringing, or offensive. Ads shown on in-store screens in shared public settings must be brand-safe.
You are solely responsible for ensuring your creative complies with all laws and regulations that apply to it. This is especially important for regulated categories including cannabis, alcohol, legal/attorney advertising, and bail bonds, each of which carries specific disclosure, licensing, and audience restrictions. You are responsible for any required licenses, disclaimers, and age-gating. We may require proof of compliance and may decline or remove any creative at our discretion.
When you submit an ad, we place an authorization hold on your payment card for the flight price — this reserves the funds but is not a charge. We then review your ad. If we approve it, we capture the hold (your card is charged) and your flight runs on its schedule. If we do not approve it, the hold is released and you are not charged. A hold that we never capture is released automatically by your bank, typically within about a week.
Once your card is charged on approval, advertising flights are prepaid, non-cancellable, and non-refundable. Because inventory is reserved for your campaign, you cannot cancel a flight or obtain a refund of a charged flight, except where we fail to deliver a paid campaign or as required by law. You may choose to schedule a flight to start on a future date; it is charged on approval regardless of its start date.
We review creative before it runs and may reject, pause, or remove any ad that violates these Terms, that we believe is unlawful or unsafe, or that a venue host reasonably objects to. Where an ad is removed for a reason that is not your fault (for example, we cannot deliver it at all), we will work with you in good faith on make-good delivery.
We measure and report delivery using anonymous foot-traffic counts, proof-of-play, and QR scans. We do not guarantee any particular number of impressions, sales, calls, leads, or other business outcomes. Estimates shown before purchase are projections, not promises.
Venue hosts who carry a screen are also bound by a separate Screen Host Agreement, which governs the equipment loan, revenue share, exclusivity, term, and host responsibilities. In the event of a conflict, the signed Host Agreement controls for host-specific matters.
You agree not to misuse the Service — no unlawful activity, no interfering with or probing the platform's security, no scraping or overloading it, no uploading malware, and no using it to harass or deceive. Do not tamper with any physical screen or sensor you do not own.
The Service, including its software, design, and content we create, belongs to Ad In Media. You keep ownership of the creative you upload; you grant us a limited license to host, format, and display it on the network to run your campaign. You may not copy or reuse our platform or branding without permission.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any specific screen will be operating at any given time.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ad In Media will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or revenue. Our total liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid to us for the campaign giving rise to the claim in the [3] months before the claim.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ad In Media and its venue hosts from claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your creative, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms — including any claim that your ad violated a law or a third party's rights.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting legal@adin-media.com. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [county] County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction. [Optional: arbitration / venue clause to be added on attorney review.]
We may update these Terms. We'll update the "last updated" date and, for material changes, provide additional notice. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept them.
