5. Publisher Terms
Traffic Quality
Publishers are solely responsible for the quality and legitimacy of all traffic they direct to offers on the L3K network. All traffic must originate from legitimate, human users who have voluntarily engaged with the publisher's content or advertisements. Publishers must accurately disclose their traffic sources during registration and must obtain prior approval before running traffic from new sources. L3K employs advanced fraud detection systems that continuously monitor traffic quality, and any traffic deemed fraudulent or non-compliant may result in conversion reversals, account suspension, or permanent termination.
Payment Schedule
Publisher payments are processed according to the following schedule:
- Standard payment terms are Net-7 (payment issued 7 days after the end of each billing period)
- New publishers may be subject to a Net-15 or Net-30 holdback period during the initial evaluation period
- Minimum payment threshold is $100 USD; balances below this threshold will carry forward to the next payment cycle
- Payment methods include wire transfer, ACH, PayPal, and Payoneer, as available in your region
- L3K reserves the right to withhold payments pending completion of fraud review or traffic quality audits
- Chargebacks and reversed conversions will be deducted from future payments
Prohibited Traffic Sources
The following traffic sources and practices are strictly prohibited unless explicitly approved in writing by L3K:
- Bot traffic, automated scripts, click farms, or any non-human generated traffic
- Incentivized traffic (offering rewards, points, or compensation for completing offers) unless the offer specifically permits it
- Cookie stuffing, click injection, ad stacking, or any form of attribution manipulation
- Trademark bidding on advertiser brand terms without explicit written permission
- Spam, including unsolicited email, SMS, push notifications, or social media messages
- Misleading advertisements, fake news sites, or content that misrepresents the offer
- Adult, violent, or illegal content used to promote mainstream offers
- Toolbar traffic, browser extensions, or adware/malware-generated traffic
- Traffic generated through unauthorized use of advertiser creatives or intellectual property
Fraud Penalties
Publishers found to be sending fraudulent or non-compliant traffic are subject to immediate account suspension, forfeiture of all unpaid earnings, reversal of previously paid commissions, permanent ban from the L3K network, and potential legal action to recover damages. L3K's determination of fraud or non-compliance is final and binding.
6. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property rights in the L3K platform, including but not limited to the website design, software, algorithms, tracking technology, APIs, documentation, trademarks, logos, and content, are owned exclusively by L3K or its licensors. Your use of the Services does not grant you any ownership rights in our intellectual property. You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works based on any part of the L3K platform without our prior written consent. Advertisers and publishers retain ownership of their respective content, creatives, and proprietary data, and grant L3K a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use such materials solely for the purpose of operating the network and providing the Services.
7. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, L3K AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, EVEN IF L3K HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT SHALL L3K'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF COMMISSIONS OR FEES PAID BY OR TO YOU THROUGH THE L3K PLATFORM DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless L3K and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right; (d) any content, creatives, or offers you submit, post, or transmit through the Services; (e) any fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity associated with your account; or (f) any dispute between you and a third party, including but not limited to disputes between advertisers and publishers. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Services.
9. Termination
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time by providing written notice to the other party. L3K reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate your account and access to the Services without prior notice if:
- You breach any provision of these Terms
- We detect fraudulent activity, policy violations, or non-compliant traffic
- Your account poses a risk to the security or integrity of the network
- We are required to do so by law or regulatory authority
- Your account has been inactive for more than 12 consecutive months
Upon termination, your right to access and use the Services will immediately cease. For publishers, any unpaid earnings that have cleared the fraud review period and meet the minimum payment threshold will be paid within 30 days of termination, unless forfeited due to fraud or Terms violations. For advertisers, any remaining account balance, less any outstanding amounts owed to publishers or L3K, will be refunded within 30 days of termination. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall remain in full force and effect.
10. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA rules.
The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award, including injunctive relief. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees, unless the arbitrator determines otherwise.
YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You agree to waive any right to a jury trial. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights.
11. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
12. Modifications to Terms
L3K reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms on our website and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes that significantly affect your rights or obligations, we will provide at least 15 days' notice via email or a prominent notification on the platform. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with the modified Terms, you must discontinue your use of the Services and terminate your account.
13. General Provisions
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable insertion orders or partnership agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and L3K regarding your use of the Services. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. L3K may assign these Terms without restriction. All notices required or permitted under these Terms shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered when sent by email to the address associated with your account.
