Terms & Conditions

Payment

  • Payment for any advertising campaign on phpBB.com must be received in full prior to the start of the campaign.
  • All prices are quoted in US Dollars and payment must be made in US Dollars unless agreed upon otherwise.

Payment Options

  • Payments up to $2,000 can be made via Paypal, Business Cheque, Money Order, or Certified Cheque
  • Payments up to $10,000 can be made by Business Cheque, Money Order, Certified Cheque or Wire Transfer
  • Payments over $10,000 can be made by Wire Transfer, Money Order, or Certified Cheque.

Cancellation

  • You may cancel your advertising with phpBB.com at any time, under the following conditions:
  • Only full months will be refunded.
  • Requests must be made 5 working days before the end of the current month to allow sufficient time for filling the space.
  • Any applied discounts will be subtracted from the refund (if the quoted price was $100 per month with a discounted rate of $240 for 3 months, the refund for the last 2 months would be [$240 - $100 = $140], rather than [$240 / 3 * 2 = $160]).

Content

  • Advertisements will not be accepted if they contain links to sites with:
    • Adult content (e.g. pornographic material, adult humor)
    • Illegal content (e.g. warez sites)
  • All advertisements will be screened by the phpBB.com staff and we reserve the right to reject any campaign that we find unsuitable for this site.
  • We do our best to follow Google's policies regarding advertising and SEO. No advertising campaign should be targeted-toward or based-on pagerank misrepresentation or any other SEO scheme.
  • We reserve the right to discontinue/cancel a campaign at any time. In this case, you will receive a refund for the amount of time remaining on your campaign. For example, if you had a 90 day campaign totaling $300 that was canceled after 66 days, you would receive: [$300 / 90 * (90 - 66) = $80].
