Yield | Supply Guidelines
Applicable to the Seller Monetization Terms and Conditions of Azerion Technology B.V.
Version 1.0. Effective from 01.09.2026. Published at https://improvedigital.com/terms-conditions/supply-yield/
These Supply Guidelines are the Supply Guidelines referred to in the Seller Monetization Terms and Conditions of Azerion Technology B.V. (the “Terms”). They are incorporated into and form part of the Agreement between Azerion and Seller. Capitalised terms used in these Supply Guidelines have the meaning given to them in the Terms. In case of any inconsistency between these Supply Guidelines and the Terms, the Terms prevail.
- Status and Scope
- These Supply Guidelines apply to all Properties, to all Ad Inventory made available by Seller to the Platform, and to Seller’s use of the Platform and the Services.
- Compliance with these Supply Guidelines is a continuing obligation of Seller. Any failure to comply is a breach of the Agreement and entitles Azerion to exercise the rights set out in the Terms, including suspension of the Services, treatment of the relevant traffic as Invalid Traffic, deduction or claw-back of amounts paid or payable, and suspension or termination of the Account.
- Where a Property is directed at, or accessible from, more than one country, Seller shall comply with the strictest requirement applicable to any of those countries.
- These Supply Guidelines set minimum requirements. They do not limit any other obligation of Seller under the Agreement or under applicable law, and compliance with them does not guarantee that a Property or any Ad Inventory will be accepted or monetized.
- Properties
- Seller shall make Ad Inventory available to the Platform only from Properties which Seller has registered in the Account and which Azerion has accepted.
- Seller shall own, operate or control each Property, or hold the contractual right to market and sell the Ad Inventory on it, and shall be able to evidence that right at Azerion’s first request.
- Seller shall implement and maintain a correct and current ads.txt file, and where technically applicable an app-ads.txt file, listing Azerion and its sales partners as authorized digital sellers in the form provided by Azerion. Azerion may make acceptance of a Property conditional on verification of ownership and of correct ads.txt implementation.
- Each Property shall comply with applicable laws and regulations, such that monetization thereof through the Services does not constitute a liability or breach for either Party.
- Seller shall inform Azerion without undue delay of any material change to a Property, including a change of ownership or control, a material change in the nature of its content, a material change in its traffic sources, and any regulatory, enforcement or court action concerning it.
- Azerion may reject or remove any Property at any time, at its discretion and without stating reasons.
- Implementation of Tags, SDKs and Ads
- Seller shall implement the Tags and SDKs in accordance with the technical requirements and specifications provided by Azerion, and shall not alter, change or modify them in any way except as agreed in writing with Azerion or on removal following termination.
- Seller shall not use, in connection with any Ads, URL re-directions, framing techniques, pop-up windows, new consoles, or any other item or technique that alters or blocks the appearance, presentation or functionality of any Ads, nor of any advertiser’s website or mobile store URL from that seen by a Visitor entering the applicable URL directly into their browser.
- Seller shall not include Ads in any location other than an accepted Property.
- Ads shall be clearly distinguishable from editorial content, shall not be obscured, stacked, overlapped or placed outside the visible area of the Property, and shall not be placed in a manner designed to cause accidental interaction.
- Seller shall not license, sell, assign, distribute or otherwise commercially exploit the Platform or the Services, or make them available to any third party.
- Traffic Quality
- Seller shall not generate, or permit the generation of, Impressions, clicks or conversions by any method that constitutes Invalid Traffic as defined in the Terms, or that may reasonably be construed as such.
- Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall not offer or permit incentives for viewing or interacting with Ads, deploy automated agents or scripts to simulate Visitor activity, or acquire traffic from any source that is undisclosed, artificial or misrepresented.
- Seller shall disclose to Azerion, at its first request, the sources of traffic to each Property, including any paid, syndicated, arbitraged or third-party acquired traffic, and any change in those sources.

- content that breaches applicable laws or infringes the rights of any third party, including intellectual or industrial property rights.
- Seller shall not make Ad Inventory from a Property that is directed at children or at minors available to the Platform. Seller shall inform Azerion in writing before making available Ad Inventory from any Property that is likely to be accessed by minors to a significant extent, and shall flag any such Property in the Account where the functionality to do so is provided.

In cases where deemed necessary due to urgency or compliance, Azerion shall have the right to take any steps available and deemed necessary to achieve the same purpose.
- Seller shall maintain, and keep current in the Account, an e-mail address monitored for the purpose of receiving notices under this Article.
