If you do not agree to these Terms, you must stop using the Website immediately.

1.4 These Terms apply in addition to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. 

2. Definitions 

For the purposes of these Terms: 

• “Content” means all text, rankings, ratings, reviews, badges, labels, articles, company profiles, comparisons, press releases, commentary, graphics, images, and other material published on the Website, whether created by the Company, submitted by third parties, or generated by Users.

3. About TopAdNetworks and Scope of the Website 

3.1 TopAdNetworks is an editorial and publishing website focused on advertising technology, including ad networks, publisher monetization platforms, demand-side platforms, supply-side platforms, ad exchanges, ad servers, retail media platforms, and related companies operating in the digital advertising industry. 

3.2 The Website publishes rankings, top lists, company profiles, reviews, ratings, comparisons, blog articles, press releases, market commentary, and other editorial or commercial content relating to the advertising technology sector. 

3.3 The Website itself is not an ad network, supply-side platform, demand-side platform, ad exchange, broker, payment processor, investment adviser, legal adviser, tax adviser, compliance consultant, or financial adviser, and does not provide any of the advertising, monetization, or financial services described or reviewed on it. Through the Website, our role is limited to publishing informational and editorial content intended to help publishers, advertisers, marketers, agencies, website owners, and other AdTech professionals research and compare providers. 

3.4 The Company may own, operate, invest in, or be affiliated with other businesses, platforms, products, or brands, including businesses active in advertising, AdTech, or related sectors, which are separate from the Website and are not covered by these Terms. Nothing in this clause 3, and nothing elsewhere on the Website, constitutes a representation about the nature or scope of the Company’s other business activities, and any such activities have no bearing on the independence of the editorial content published through the Website. 

4. Eligibility and Permitted Use 

4.1 The Website is intended for business and professional use by individuals and organizations with a genuine interest in the advertising technology industry. 

4.2 You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms. You must not use the Website in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it, or interfere with any other party’s use of it. 

4.3 You confirm that you are at least 18 years old and any information you provide to us, including in reviews, comments, or correction requests, is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to submit it. 

5. No User Accounts 

5.1 The Website does not currently require or offer User account registration. Certain features, such as leaving a review, rating, comment, or correction suggestion, may be available without creating an account, subject to any verification or moderation steps we consider appropriate. 

5.2 We reserve the right to introduce account-based features in the future. If we do, additional terms may apply and will be made available to Users at that time. 

6. The Review Submission Process 

6.1. To submit a review, you must select the relevant platform from the inventory, click the “Leave a Review” button displayed on the left-hand side of the page, and complete the required fields. These include Reviewer Details (first name, last name and email address), Proof of Usage (a screenshot URL reasonably demonstrating that you have used the selected platform), star Ratings from one (1) to five (5) for Usability, Support, Reach and Results, a review Title, and any additional information you wish to share about your experience. 

6.2. Please verify that, by completing this review form, you are not revealing confidential information or any other personal data about yourself or third parties. All information regarding the personal data processed by the Company is available in the Privacy Policy. 

6.3. Before clicking “Submit Review”, you must tick the relevant checkbox confirming that you have read and agree to the T&Cs and Privacy Policy. 

6.4. Submission of a review does not guarantee publication. Our moderation team will assess whether the review complies with these Terms and will decide whether to publish or reject it in accordance with clauses 14 and 15. 

7. Editorial Content, Rankings, Ratings, Comparisons, and Reviews 

7.1 Rankings, top lists, ratings, badges, labels, comparisons, and reviews published on the Website reflect the editorial opinion of the Company at the time of publication, based on the methodology and information available at the relevant time. The Content may also contain factual statements, which we seek to present accurately but which may change or may be supplied by third parties. 

 7.2.Terms such as “best”, “top”, “leading”, “recommended”, “popular”, or “featured”, or similar wording wherever used on the Website, represent a subjective editorial assessment or a commercial placement. These terms must not be understood as an independent audit outcome, regulatory approval, legal or financial endorsement, or a promise of results.  

7.3. Labels such as “verified” or “trusted” indicate solely that the respective entity has completed our internal verification process regarding email address/domain ownership/identity. These labels do not constitute a certification of quality, a guarantee of solvency, or a legal/financial validation of the third-party’s services or products. Users are strongly advised to conduct their own due diligence before engaging in any transactions. 

7.3 4 Our assessments are prepared through a manual editorial review of information reasonably available at the time. Depending on the nature of the platform and the availability of reliable information, we may consider its founding company and service overview, market positioning, supported verticals and ad formats, onboarding and integration process, targeting and optimization capabilities, reporting and other key features, traffic or inventory sources, pricing and business model, key differentiators, target clients, and relevant alternatives. We may also consider publicly available information, information submitted by the companies concerned, market research, User feedback, our own testing or observation where applicable, and the professional judgment of our editorial team. Different reasonable people could reach different conclusions from the same information, and our conclusions are ours alone. 

7.4 5 Rankings and ratings can and do change over time as companies, markets, and available information change. We may revise such content where new reliable information or verified User feedback becomes available, an error is identified, the relevant market evolves, or our methodology is updated. We do not continuously monitor every company and do not guarantee that any assessment will remain current at all times.  

8. Manual Editorial Methodology 

8.1 Our editorial team manually evaluates each platform by reference to the categories that are relevant to that platform and displayed in its general review section. These may include:  

1. the platform overview, company background, market positioning, supported verticals, ad formats, and platform type;  

2. our overall editorial view, including how the platform works, onboarding and integration requirements, optimization, key differentiators, and suitability for particular use cases and target clients; 

3. key features and ad formats; 

4. strengths, limitations; 

5. pricing and business model, including pricing structures and minimum-spend information where available;  

6. User reviews, including ratings concerning usability, support, reach, and results, where available; and 

7. relevant comparisons and alternative platforms. 

8.2 Not all criteria apply equally to every platform. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we do not use fixed numerical weightings, and the relative importance of each criterion depends on the platform category, the intended users, and the quality and relevance of the evidence available.  

8.3 Our methodology is an editorial process, is not a scientific, statistical, or algorithmic evaluation, and it is not independently audited or certified unless we expressly state otherwise for a specific ranking or feature. It represents our best editorial effort based on the information available to us at the time. 

8.4 We may adjust our methodology, criteria, or weighting at any time, without prior notice, and without any obligation to explain the reasons for a specific placement, score, or omission. 

8.5 We may correct factual errors at any time. While we will describe the principal parameters used in our assessments, we are not required to disclose confidential source material, proprietary internal notes, or every aspect of our editorial deliberations. 

9. No Guarantee of Accuracy, Completeness, Performance, Results, Availability, Compliance, or Suitability 

9.1 We make reasonable efforts to keep Content accurate and current, but the advertising technology sector moves quickly, and company details such as pricing, features, minimum spend requirements, payment terms, traffic requirements, integrations, supported ad formats, performance metrics, fill rates, revenue share, approval rates, compliance status, ownership, office locations, and contact details can change without our knowledge. 

9.2 We do not guarantee, warrant, or represent that any Content, including company profiles, rankings, ratings, or reviews, is accurate, complete, current, reliable, or suitable for your particular needs. 

9.3 We do not verify or guarantee the compliance, licensing status, financial stability, payment reliability, technical performance, data protection practices, or business practices of any company mentioned, reviewed, ranked, or profiled on the Website, unless expressly stated for a specific piece of Content. 

9.4 You are solely responsible for independently verifying any information before relying on it for a business decision, including before entering into any contract, spending advertising budget, sending traffic, integrating any technology, sharing data, or engaging any provider mentioned on the Website. 

10. Editorial Independence and Commercial Operation of the Website 

10.1 We aim to maintain editorial independence in how we assess and present companies on the Website. At the same time, the Website is a commercial publication, and its continued operation may be supported by advertising, sponsorships, and other commercial relationships described in clause 11. 

10.2 A company’s participation, or lack of participation, in a commercial relationship with the Company does not, by itself, determine whether that company is ranked, rated, reviewed, or profiled, and does not prevent us from publishing accurate, critical, or unfavorable information about that company where we consider it warranted. 

11. Advertising, Sponsorships, Promoted Visibility, Featured Placements, and Commercial Relationships 

11.1 The Website may include advertising, sponsorships, promoted or featured placements, paid visibility, partner content, and other commercial arrangements connected to how Content is presented, positioned, or made visible on the Website. 

11.2 Where legally required, and to ensure transparency for our users, we use labels, contextual notices, dedicated commercial sections, or other clear forms of disclosure to indicate that certain Content or placement is connected to a commercial relationship. While the precise format of any such disclosure may vary depending on the type of arrangement and the specific page or feature involved, we ensure that all such disclosures remain clearly identifiable to the user. 

11.3 A commercial relationship with a company does not require us to publish only positive Content about that company, to suppress accurate or relevant factual information, to remove legitimate criticism, or to guarantee any particular ranking, rating, or outcome for that company. 

11.4 We do not currently earn affiliate commissions from outbound links on the Website. We reserve the right to introduce affiliate arrangements, referral relationships, sponsored links, advertising partnerships, or other paid visibility or monetization models at any time in the future, subject to applicable law and, where relevant, appropriate disclosure. 

12. Company Profiles and Third-Party Information 

12.1 Company profiles published on the Website may combine publicly available information, information submitted directly by the company concerned, and information gathered through our own research or User feedback. 

12.2 We do not independently audit, certify, or verify all information contained in company profiles, and we are not responsible for inaccuracies in information supplied to us by a Third Party or sourced from public materials. 

12.3 A company being featured, profiled, listed, ranked, or mentioned on the Website does not mean that the company sponsors, endorses, approves, is affiliated with, or has reviewed the accuracy of our Content, unless we expressly state otherwise. 

13. Use of Trademarks, Logos, Brand Names, Screenshots, and Third-Party Materials 

13.1 Company names, trademarks, logos, product names, screenshots, and other brand materials appearing on the Website belong to their respective owners and are used for identification, commentary, comparison, review, and informational purposes connected to our editorial coverage of the advertising technology industry. 

13.2 Use of any such material does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or affiliation between the relevant owner and the Company, unless expressly stated. If you are a rights holder and believe that our use of your material is inappropriate or exceeds fair and reasonable editorial use under copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property laws, please contact us using the details in clause 33, and we will review the matter. 

14. User Reviews, Ratings, Comments, Feedback, and Other Submissions 

14.1 Where the Website allows Users to submit reviews, ratings, comments, feedback, or correction suggestions, such submissions must be honest, based on genuine experience or knowledge where applicable. They must not be submitted with the intention of manipulating rankings, misleading other Users, or disadvantaging a competitor. 

14.2 You must have a lawful basis for any submission you make. You must not submit confidential information, trade secrets, personal data belonging to someone else without their permission, or statements you know or suspect to be false or misleading. When you submit a review, rating, comment, or feedback for publication, you are fully responsible for any content that: 

• violates any applicable law (for example, legal norms regarding the right to privacy, dignity or image) or a contract you have signed with the platform about which you are publishing the review (for example, a confidentiality clause); 

• contains obscene, insulting, defamatory, threatening, violent, abusive, or hateful language; incites harassment or discrimination; is pornographic or profane; or encourages criminal or unlawful behavior. Personal attacks are strictly prohibited. 

• is considered spam or includes unsolicited advertising, promotional materials, or commercial messages, except where expressly permitted. 

14.3 You must use standard English, including full words and correct punctuation. Review your text before submitting to ensure it is clear and easy for others to understand. 

15. Moderation Rights and Prohibited User Content 

15.1 We may, but are not obliged to, review, moderate, edit, reject, remove, hide, or investigate any User Content without prior notice, particularly where content appears unlawful, misleading, defamatory, abusive, discriminatory, harassing, spam-like, undisclosed promotional material, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms. 

15.2 In conjunction with clause 14, prohibited User Content includes, without limitation, content that is false or knowingly misleading, infringes the rights of any third party, breaches confidentiality obligations, contains unlawful material, or is submitted with an undisclosed commercial or competitive interest intended to manipulate our rankings or ratings. 

15.3 We may reject, restrict or remove User Content where we reasonably believe that it violates these Terms, applicable law, the rights of third parties, our moderation standards, or the integrity and security of the Website. Where appropriate and legally required, we will inform the submitting User of the principal reason for the decision and the available means of contesting it. 

16. Press Releases and Third-Party Submitted Materials 

16.1 Press releases and other materials submitted by companies or their representatives for publication on the Website may be labeled, rejected, published, removed, or archived in accordance with our editorial guidelines and these Terms.

16.2 We do not guarantee that press releases or other third-party submitted materials are accurate, complete, objective, or independently verified, and publication of such material does not constitute our endorsement of its contents.
