3. Publisher Terms
3.1 Integration and Placements
- Publishers must integrate the Platform using only the official code snippets, iframes, or APIs provided in the Publisher dashboard.
- You may not modify, alter, strip, or replace any tracking parameters, Publisher IDs, or Placement IDs embedded in integration code. Doing so will invalidate Conversions and may result in account termination and forfeiture of outstanding Payouts.
- Each Placement must be registered in your dashboard with accurate information about the host property (URL, platform type, audience description).
- You are responsible for properly passing user identifiers (User ID, Sub ID) to the offerwall so that End User rewards can be correctly attributed and delivered.
3.2 Traffic Quality
- All traffic directed to Placements must be organic, genuine, and sourced from real human users. Bot traffic, click farms, emulators, scripted interactions, or any artificial inflation of Conversions is strictly prohibited.
- Use of VPNs, proxies, or device-spoofing tools to generate Conversions is prohibited and will result in immediate account suspension and Payout forfeiture.
- Abnormally high conversion rates relative to click volume may trigger fraud review. During any investigation, Payouts may be withheld pending resolution.

- Violence, hate speech, or content that discriminates based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin

- Spam, unsolicited bulk email, or unauthorized pop-ups
3.4 User Disclosures
- Publishers must maintain a publicly accessible and up-to-date Privacy Policy on their properties that discloses the use of third-party tracking technologies, including the RewardsRiver offerwall.
- If your property collects data from residents of the EU, UK, or California, you are solely responsible for obtaining any necessary consents and complying with applicable data protection laws.
- You must not misrepresent the nature of the rewards offered to End Users or create deceptive user experiences designed to trick users into clicking or completing Offers.
4. Advertiser Terms

- Publishers must complete any required tax documentation (e.g., W-9 or W-8BEN) before Payouts can be issued. Failure to provide accurate tax forms will delay or suspend payment.
- Balances in accounts with no Conversion activity for 180 consecutive days may be subject to a dormancy fee not to exceed the full outstanding balance, reducing it to zero.
5.3 Chargebacks and Reversals
- The Company may apply Chargebacks to your account balance for Conversions later determined to be fraudulent, returned, reversed by an Advertiser, or in breach of these Terms.
- If a Chargeback results in a negative balance, the Publisher is obligated to repay the outstanding amount within 30 days of written notice.
