Terms & Conditions

1. General Information

The First $100 Boost Program ("Program") is organized by Takeads and applies to publishers working under the revenue-share model who meet the eligibility criteria below.
The Program rewards publishers who reach $100 in Approved Revenue by giving them an increased commission rate on new advertisers they choose to test.
Participation requires explicit confirmation from the publisher via registration or opt-in. Publishers become eligible only after confirming agreement with these Rules, which constitute a legally binding agreement between the publisher and Takeads.
The Program applies per individual publisher account. In case of multiple linked or associated platforms, performance will be evaluated collectively, and the reward will be applied once per publisher entity.

2. Qualifying Milestone

The qualifying milestone is $100 in Approved Revenue (see Section 6 for definition), generated by the publisher's account during the Program period.
Unlike Takeads' growth-based bonus programs, this Program does not use an individual benchmark — the $100 threshold is fixed and identical for all participating publishers.
Publishers reactivating a dormant account qualify based on Approved Revenue generated since their reactivation date, not historical lifetime revenue. A dormant account is an account that generated no tracked clicks and no revenue during the 90 calendar days preceding the reactivation date.

3. Evaluation Period

The Program runs from August 1, 2026 to September 30, 2026.
Only Approved Revenue counts toward the $100 milestone. Pending or rejected transactions do not count until validated.
Final qualification is confirmed after advertiser validation of transactions is complete; validation timing depends on each advertiser's standard confirmation window and is outside Takeads' direct control.
Takeads reserves the right to adjust evaluation timelines if advertiser data is delayed.
Late Participation
For late participants, the qualifying period starts on the date of registration or reactivation and ends on September 30, 2026. The Program end date is not extended.

4. Advertiser Selection & Rate Increase

Publishers who reach $100 in Approved Revenue may select 5 advertisers ("Selected Advertisers") to apply for an increased commission rate. Publishers may request up to 5 advertisers from the Takeads catalog. Availability is subject to advertiser status, applicable program restrictions, traffic source, geography, commercial feasibility and Takeads approval. Submission of an advertiser does not guarantee approval or activation of a Boosted Rate. Each application is reviewed individually by Takeads before a Boosted Rate is granted.
A qualified publisher must submit its advertiser selections within 30 calendar days after receiving qualification confirmation. Takeads will normally review each request within 5 business days. If a requested advertiser is rejected, the publisher may submit a replacement within 15 calendar days.
Only new advertisers are eligible for the Boosted Rate. An advertiser is considered new if, before the publisher submits it for the Program, the publisher has not generated clicks, transactions or revenue for that advertiser through any Takeads program during the preceding 12 months. Advertisers the publisher already actively works with do not qualify for selection.
The Boosted Rate is calculated individually for each approved advertiser and can range from +5% to +25%, relative to the publisher's standard commission rate, depending on the advertiser and Takeads' review of the application. The Boost percentage is applied to the standard publisher revenue share rate applicable to the relevant advertiser at the time each transaction is generated. If the standard rate changes, the Boosted Rate will be recalculated accordingly.
The Boosted Rate applies for 6 months from the date of activation and applies only to new transactions generated on or after that date. It is not retroactive to earlier revenue.
At the end of the Boosted Rate period, the standard commission rate automatically resumes for the Selected Advertisers, without further notice beyond what is shown in the publisher's dashboard.
Example: A publisher reaches $100 in Approved Revenue and selects 5 advertisers they have not previously worked with. Their standard rate with one of these advertisers is 10%. With the Boosted Rate of 20% applied, their rate becomes 12% + for the next 6 months on that advertiser, after which it reverts to 10%.

5. Reward Application

The Boosted Rate is not a separate one-time payout — it is an increase applied directly to the publisher's standard revenue-share rate for the Selected Advertisers, reflected in ongoing payouts for the duration of the boost.
Amounts are calculated and paid in the same currency as the publisher's regular payouts. In case of exchange rate fluctuations or transfer fees, Takeads bears no responsibility for any differences between estimated and received amounts.

6. Important Conditions

Only confirmed and paid actions ("Approved Revenue") are considered for qualification. Clicks, pending, or rejected actions are not included.
In case of data discrepancies between advertiser and Takeads statistics, Takeads data will prevail.
Participation is available globally, but all traffic remains subject to the applicable advertiser and program restrictions, including permitted geographies, promotional methods and traffic sources.
Takeads may modify, suspend or terminate the Program for operational, legal, commercial or technical reasons. Unless required due to fraud, compliance concerns, legal requirements or circumstances beyond Takeads’ reasonable control, such changes will not affect Boosted Rates already granted before the effective date of the change.
In case of discrepancies or disputes regarding qualification or Boosted Rate calculation, the final data and calculations provided by Takeads shall be deemed correct and binding.

7. Fair Use & Compliance

Takeads monitors traffic quality and reserves the right to exclude any publisher showing artificial or invalid activity (e.g., bot traffic, incentivized clicks, fake conversions). In such cases, the Boosted Rate will not be granted.
Takeads may revise or revoke a granted Boosted Rate in case of post-validation changes from advertisers (such as delayed rejections, chargebacks, or adjustments) that reduce a publisher's Approved Revenue below the $100 threshold.
Takeads reserves the right to disqualify or exclude any publisher whose activity shows signs of manipulation or artificial traffic increase intended solely to obtain the Boosted Rate. In such cases, the publisher forfeits the right to the Boosted Rate, even if the $100 milestone was recorded.

8. Acceptance of Terms

Participation in the Program constitutes full and unconditional acceptance of these Rules and of Takeads' general Terms of Service.
