Issuu AdPages Terms of Service

PLEASE NOTE: The Issuu AdPages Terms of Service on this web page will be replaced with the new Terms of Service on February 15th, and your use of AdPages services after February 15th will be subject to those new Terms of Service.

Issuu’s document promotion service (“the Issuu AdPages”) is designed to provide value to those promoting their documents while protecting the Issuu user experience. We do not tolerate unfair, misleading, or offensive promotions. Issuu’s General Terms of Service, Pro and Enterprise Terms of Service, Parent Account Terms and Privacy Policy are hereby incorporated in the following Issuu AdPages Terms of Service (“Terms”) by reference. Any capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning as defined in the General Terms of Service. The Terms apply to any and all use of the Issuu AdPages. The Terms are subject to change at any time. Issuu may choose not to enforce any of the Terms at its sole discretion. By using the Issuu AdPages, you consent to and agree to comply with these Terms of Service.

Issuu may reject, refuse to publish, or remove from Issuu any Promotion (as defined below), Promoted Document (as defined below) or User Submission at any time for any reason, including but not limited to a failure to comply with the Terms.

Definitions

1. “Promoted Documents” are User Submissions that you have chosen to promote via the Issuu AdPages. Users of the Service may only promote User Submissions uploaded to their account or to “Parent” or “Child” accounts related to their account.

2. A “Promotion” is a User Submission consisting of information about a Promoted Document created in part by you and in part by automated means. Each Promotion consists of a title, body text, and a thumbnail. The thumbnail is automatically created from the Promoted Document. The title and body text is entered by you. Issuu reserves the right to change how Promotions are created without notice.

AdPages Options

When using the Issue AdPages service to promote a User Submission, you will be able to target your Promotion to a specific audience using keywords, geographic location (by country) and age. You will also be able to set a maximum auction bid price for your Promotion.

The Issuu AdPages service will automatically place your Promotion based upon the targeting parameters and maximum auction bid price specified by you. If you wish to promote a User Submission with an adult theme, you must use the targeting options to limit the availability of that Promotion to persons who are at least 18 years of age.

Payment/Ongoing Plans/Cancellation

You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with your use of the Issuu AdPages service in a timely manner with a valid payment method. You authorize Issuu or its third party payment providers to charge your credit card or other payment method (herein “Payment Method“) for all charges to your accounts with Issuu. Your Payment Method will be billed automatically during the period specified by you. If you spend less than a set per-day minimum (which may be modified from time to time by Issuu) between all of your Promoted Documents, you may not be charged right away. This is further explained here in our Help section.

You agree that your Issuu AdPages Promotion(s) will continue in effect for the term specified by you unless and until You cancel it or Issuu terminates it. Unless so expired, cancelled or terminated, Issuu shall automatically bill you via your Payment Method as described above. For more information, please visit our Help section here.

You acknowledge and agree that any credit card and related billing and payment information that you provide to Issuu may be shared by Issuu with companies who work on Issuu’s behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, solely for the purpose of checking credit, effecting payment to Issuu and servicing your account. The terms of your payment will be based on your chosen Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution providing such Payment Method. You agree to pay Issuu all charges incurred under your account for any Issuu AdPages Promotions in which you or anyone else who uses your account enroll in accordance with this Agreement. If your Payment Method fails or your account is past due, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your account upon demand, (b) Issuu may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms (this includes charging other payment methods on file with us) and (c) Issuu reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your Issuu AdPages Promotions or your account with Issuu.

Any fees charged to your account are non-refundable. You agree to submit any disputes regarding any charge to your account in writing to Issuu within thirty (30) days of such charge, otherwise such dispute will be waived and such charge will be final and not subject to challenge. Refunds (if any) made pursuant to such dispute, are at the discretion of Issuu.

You are responsible for paying any governmental taxes imposed on your use of the Issuu AdPages, including, but not limited to, sales, use, or value added taxes. If requested, you will promptly furnish to Issuu the applicable receipts and/or certificates regarding such remittances as soon as reasonably practicable. To the extent that Issuu is obligated to collect such taxes, the applicable tax will be added to your billing account.
