By registering an account or otherwise acting as a Publisher on the Meteortrail platform (the “Platform”), you (“Publisher,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not accept all terms herein, do not register or use the Platform as a Publisher.

    • You represent that you have full power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement.

    Each Publisher Site must be submitted for review and approved by Galaxioid before Ad Code is placed. Galaxioid may refuse or revoke approval at its sole discretion.

  5. Acceptance

3. Publisher Obligations

  1. Legal Compliance
    You will operate the Publisher Sites and display Advertisements in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations (including those of the EU and Estonia), and will not infringe any third-party rights.
  2. Ad Code Implementation
    We will provide you with ad tags, scripts or SDKs (“Ad Code”). You must implement the Ad Code exactly as supplied, without modification, obfuscation or concealment.

    Ads must be placed on visible, content-rich pages, not on blank, error or “made-for-ads” pages. Ads may not be hidden, masked or stacked.
  4. Policy Adherence
    You will comply with all technical specs, policies and guidelines communicated by us. Upon request, you will promptly remove or relocate Ads.

4. Prohibited Content and Activities

  • Display or link to content that is illegal, infringing, hateful, violent, defamatory, obscene, or sexually explicit (including child sexual content).
  • Distribute malware, spyware, phishing pages, unwanted software, or engage in browser hijacking or forced downloads.
  • Generate invalid traffic by bots, scripts, auto-refresh, incentivised clicks, click-farms or any other deceptive methods.
  • Induce users to click Ads through rewards or coercion, or place Ads such that accidental clicks are likely.
  • Alter, cover, resize or otherwise interfere with the rendering or behaviour of Ads.
  • Misrepresent any affiliation with Meteortrail or Advertisers.

Violation may result in suspension, withholding of earnings, account termination and legal action.

    Earnings (“Commission”) are calculated solely on our reporting data according to pricing models selected by Advertisers (CPM, CPC, CPA, etc.). Our numbers are final and binding.
  2. Settlement Cycle
    The accounting period is the calendar month. Commissions are processed and paid weekly on Fridays.
  3. Minimum Payout Threshold
    Payments are made only when the Account balance equals or exceeds USD 50. Lower balances roll over to the next period.

  5. Taxes
    You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes due on your earnings. We may withhold taxes where required by law.
  6. Payment Holds
    • Until Advertisers have settled their invoices;
    • During investigations of suspected fraud or breach;
    • If your Account is terminated for violation (in which case accrued earnings may be forfeited).

6. Intellectual Property and Data Ownership

  2. Data
    All user data, performance metrics and analytical information generated through the Services belong to Galaxioid and/or the Advertiser. You may access reporting solely for internal purposes and shall not copy, sell or disclose such data without prior written consent.
  3. Publisher Marks
    If you supply us with your logo or trade name, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use it for marketing and reference purposes until revoked in writing.

7. Confidentiality

Each party shall keep confidential all information marked or reasonably understood as confidential, including business plans, financials, technology and customers. Confidentiality survives termination.

    We provide the Services “as-is” and disclaim all warranties, express or implied, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Limitation of Liability

  • Galaxioid OÜ shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages (including lost profits or data).
  • Galaxioid OÜ’s total aggregate liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the total Commissions paid to you during the six (6) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

    Either party may terminate the Agreement for any reason by written notice (email sufficient) five (5) calendar days in advance.

  4. Effects of Termination
    Upon termination: (i) you must remove all Ad Code; (ii) access to the Account ceases; (iii) compliant unpaid earnings above the threshold will be paid in the next cycle; (iv) sections intended by their nature to survive (e.g., Confidentiality, IP, Indemnities, Liability, Governing Law) shall remain in force.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute not resolved amicably shall be submitted to the competent courts of Estonia, and the parties irrevocably submit to their exclusive jurisdiction.

12. Miscellaneous

  1. Amendments
    We may amend this Agreement at any time by posting an updated version on the Platform and/or by email notice. Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

    Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control (e.g., natural disasters, war, governmental action, network outages).
  3. Assignment
    Publisher may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations without our prior written consent. We may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or successor with notice to you.
  4. Relationship
    The parties are independent contractors. Nothing creates an agency, employment, joint-venture or partnership.
  5. Entire Agreement
    This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes all prior understandings.
  6. Severability
    If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement continues in effect, and the parties will replace the invalid provision with one that most closely reflects the original intent.
  7. Waiver
    Failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other right.
  8. Notices
    We will deliver notices via email to the address on record or through the Platform. Publisher notices must be sent to support@meteortrail.net unless otherwise specified.
