- Refunds and Cancellations: After a creative(s) has been approved by The Gay Report the ad campaign will commence immediately and end after thirty (30) days. Once a campaign has started no refunds shall be issued if the ad campaign is cancelled or paused either by us or by the advertiser. The Gay Report will pause any ad campaign if the creatives (in particular if the creatives are hosted somewhere else) change to content that violate our Privacy Policy, our Links Policy, or if the new content is found to be objectionable and not suitable for The Gay Report. The campaign will resume once the advertiser adheres to our standards. Pausing: A campaign can be paused by the advertiser upon request or by us if the creative(s) at any time during the campaign violate our standards, however the number of days for the ad campaign will not increase for pauses. The campaign will then resume once the advertiser requests to do so and/or the violation has been fixed. The advertiser can also cancel the ad campaign upon request. After such request is made the advertiser will have no right to resume the campaign and will have forfeited this offer. If the advertiser wishes to resume the ad campaign they must now purchase a new ad campaign that may be of different prices or terms.
- Among adhering to our Privacy Policy and our Links Policy, advertisers must also follow the following standards:
- No ads for pornographic or violent websites.
- Alcohol campaigns must also encourage users to "drink responsibly."
- Tobacco campaigns cannot show or depict the act of smoking.
