Updated as of February 1, 2026
Thanks for your interest in our PlayaYield advertising services (the "Services"). By using our Services, you agree to (1) these Terms of Service and (2) the PlayaYield Program Policies, which describe permitted content, ad implementations, traffic quality requirements, and other rules for use of the Services, and, where applicable, the EU User Consent Policy (collectively, the "PlayaYield Policies") (collectively, the "PlayaYield Terms"). If ever in conflict, these Terms of Service will take precedence over any other terms in the policies and guidelines enumerated in number (2) above. Please read these Terms of Service and the rest of the PlayaYield Terms carefully.
As used in these Terms of Service, "you" or "publisher" means the individual or entity using the Services (and/or any individual, agent, employee, representative, network, parent, subsidiary, affiliate, successor, related entities, assigns, or all other individuals or entities acting on your behalf, at your direction, under your control, or under the direction or control of the same individual or entity who controls you). "We," "us" or "PlayaNext" means PlayaNext LLC, and the "parties" means you and PlayaNext.
Your use of the Services is subject to your creation and our approval of a PlayaYield Account (an "Account"). We have the right to refuse or limit your access to the Services. In order to verify your Account, from time-to-time we may ask for additional information from you, including, but not limited to, verification of your name, address, and other identifying information. By submitting an application to use the Services, if you are an individual, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age. You may only have one Account. If you (including those under your direction or control) create multiple Accounts, you will not be entitled to further payment from PlayaNext, and your Accounts will be subject to termination, pursuant to the provisions below.
By enrolling in PlayaYield, you permit PlayaNext to serve, as applicable, (i) advertisements and other content ("Ads") to Chrome Extensions approved by PlayaNext (each individually a "Property"). PlayaNext may refuse to provide the Services to any Property.
You may use our Services only as permitted by the PlayaYield Terms and any applicable laws. Don't misuse our Services. For example, don't interfere with our Services or try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide. Our Services are business tools. You must only use our Services exclusively for purposes relating to your trade, business, craft or profession.
You may discontinue your use of any Service at any time by removing the relevant code from your Properties.
You may only use our Services and place ads within the surface area of the extension(s) approved by us: the extension side panel, the extension popup and the extension internal page (collectively, the "Allowed Areas"). You cannot use our Services, place Ads and/or inject our Ads onto websites or other areas. When you use the Services on a Property, PlayaNext shall be the sole provider of advertising within the approved extension areas (the "Approved Areas"). You will not display, request, or integrate advertisements from any other advertising network, exchange, or monetization provider within the Approved Areas while the Services are active on the Property. You may use other advertising or monetization methods outside of those areas, provided they do not interfere with the Services or violate the PlayaYield Terms.
You may not (i) click on the Ads on your extension or use any means to inflate impressions and/or clicks, including manual methods or (ii) ask others to click or view their ads or use deceptive implementation methods to obtain clicks or views. This includes, but is not limited to, offering compensation to users for viewing Ads, promising to raise money for third parties for such behavior or placing images next to individual Ads.
You agree that your Properties will comply at all times with the Chrome Web Store Program Policies, including its policies regarding ads, and all applicable platform, browser, and operating system requirements. PlayaNext may suspend or terminate any Property that, in its sole discretion, violates such policies or poses a risk to users, advertisers, or the Services.
You agree not to directly or indirectly solicit, contract with, or attempt to bypass PlayaNext to work with any advertiser, demand partner, or advertising provider introduced or used through the Services for a period of twelve (12) months after your last use of the Services.
We are constantly changing and improving our Services. We may add or remove functionalities or features of the Services at any time, and we may suspend or stop a Service altogether.
We may modify the PlayaYield Terms at any time. We'll post any modifications to the Terms of Service on this page and any modifications to the PlayaYield Program Policies on its page as well as send a notice by email. Changes will generally become effective 14 days after they are posted, unless otherwise stated. However, changes addressing new functions for a Service or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you don't agree to any modified terms in the PlayaYield Terms, you'll have to stop using the affected Services.
Subject to this Section and Section 6 of these Terms of Service, you will receive a payment, payable in U.S. Dollars, related to (a) the number of valid clicks on Ads displayed on your Properties, (b) the number of valid impressions of Ads displayed on your Properties, or (c) other valid events performed in connection with the display of Ads on your Properties (clauses (a), (b), and (c) to be referred to as Ad Events), only if and when PlayaNext determines that your Properties have remained in compliance with the PlayaYield Terms (including all PlayaYield Policies as identified in Section 1 above) for the entirety of the period for which payment is made and through to the date that the payment is issued. The amount you receive will be equal to a percentage of the Ads revenue (the "Revenue Share Percentage") we receive in U.S. Dollars from advertisers or advertising exchanges or providers attributable to Ad Events related to your Properties. The Revenue Share Percentage shall initially be equal to 60.0%, but it will be displayed in your Account dashboard or otherwise communicated to you by PlayaNext and may be modified from time to time upon notice. You will see estimated Ad revenue throughout the month in your dashboard, and there will be a final figure that is posted in your dashboard at the conclusion of each month.
If your Account is in good standing through to the time when PlayaNext issues you a payment, we will pay you by 75 days following any calendar month in which the balance reflected in your Account equals or exceeds U.S. $100 if the transfer would be to a U.S. institution or U.S. $250 if the transfer would be to an institution outside of the U.S. (the "Threshold Amounts") . If PlayaNext is investigating your compliance with the PlayaYield Terms or you have been suspended or terminated, your payment may be delayed or withheld. To ensure proper payment, you are responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information in your Account. PlayaNext may modify the Threshold Amounts from time to time upon notice.
In addition, PlayaNext may (a) withhold and offset any payments owed to you under the PlayaYield Terms against any fees you owe us under the PlayaYield Terms or any other agreement, or (b) require you to refund us within 30 days of any invoice any amounts we may have overpaid to you in prior periods. You are responsible for any charges assessed by your bank or payment provider.
Unless expressly authorized in writing by PlayaNext, you may not enter into any type of arrangement with a third party where that third party receives payments made to you under the PlayaYield Terms or other financial benefit in relation to the Services.
All revenue calculations, determinations of valid Ad Events, and amounts payable shall be determined solely by PlayaNext based on its records, which shall be final and binding absent manifest error. Payments will be calculated solely based on PlayaNext's accounting and our Ad partners, including ad exchange and advertising providers. You acknowledge and agree that you are only entitled to payment for your use of the Services for which PlayaNext has been paid; if, for any reason, PlayaNext does not receive payment from an advertiser or advertising exchange or provider or credits such payment back to an advertiser, you are not entitled to be paid for any associated use of the Services. Additionally, if an advertiser whose Ads are displayed on any Property defaults on payment to PlayaNext, we may withhold payment or charge back your Account.
PlayaNext has the right to withhold or adjust payments to you to exclude any amounts PlayaNext determines arise from invalid activity. Invalid activity includes, but is not limited to, (i) spam, invalid clicks, invalid impressions, invalid queries, invalid conversions, or other invalid events on Ads generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device, including through any clicks, impressions, queries, conversions, or other events originating from your IP addresses or computers under your control; (ii) clicks, impressions, queries, conversions, or other events solicited or generated by payment of money, false representation, or requests for end users to click on Ads or take other actions; (iii) Ads served to end users whose browsers have JavaScript disabled or who are otherwise tampering with ad serving or measurement; (iv) any click, impression, query, conversion, or other event occurring on a Property that does not comply with the PlayaYield Policies; (v) any click, impression, query, conversion, or other event occurring on a Property associated with another PlayaYield Account you use; and (vi) all clicks, impressions, queries, conversions, or other events in any Account with significant amounts of invalid activity, as described in (i-v) above or with the types of invalid activity indicating intentional misconduct. In the event PlayaNext detects invalid activity, either before or after issuing a payment for that activity, PlayaNext reserves the right to debit your Account, and adjust future payments accordingly, for all invalid clicks, impressions, queries, conversions, or other events including for all clicks, impressions, queries, conversions, or other events on Properties that do not comply with the PlayaYield Policies.
Additionally, PlayaNext or its Ad partners may refund or credit advertisers for some or all of the advertiser payments associated with a publisher's Account. You acknowledge and agree that, whenever PlayaNext issues such refunds or credits, you will not be entitled to receive any payment for any associated use of the Services. PlayaNext reserves the right to recover or offset any amounts previously paid to you that are later determined to be associated with invalid activity, fraud, or violations of the PlayaYield Terms, including after termination of your Account.
You agree to maintain complete, accurate, and up-to-date records relating to your use of the Services, including, without limitation:
Upon reasonable notice, PlayaNext may audit, review, or request access to such records, systems, integrations, and Properties for the purpose of:
You agree to:
If you fail to provide requested information or access within a reasonable timeframe, or if PlayaNext determines, in its sole discretion, that the information provided is incomplete, inaccurate, or indicative of invalid activity, PlayaNext may:
PlayaNext will use any information obtained through an audit in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of these Terms.
PlayaNext may, in its sole discretion, at any time, without providing a warning or prior notice, temporarily suspend further payments on your Account, suspend or terminate the participation of any Property in the Services, or suspend or terminate your Account because of, among other reasons, invalid activity or your failure to otherwise fully comply with the PlayaYield Policies. PlayaNext can terminate your participation in the Services, and close your Account, if your Account remains inactive for a period of 6 or more consecutive months. If PlayaNext closes your Account due to inactivity, and the balance reflected in your Account equals or exceeds the Threshold Amounts, we will pay you that balance, subject to our payment provisions in Section 5. If PlayaNext closes your Account due to inactivity, you will not be prevented from submitting a new application to use the Services.
If PlayaNext terminates your Account due to your breach of the PlayaYield Terms, including, but not limited to, your causing or failing to prevent invalid activity on any Property, or your failure to otherwise fully comply with the PlayaYield Policies, you will not be entitled to any further payment from PlayaNext for any prior use of the Services. If you breach the PlayaYield Terms or PlayaNext suspends or terminates your Account, you are prohibited from creating a new Account.
If you dispute any payment made or withheld relating to your use of the Services, or, if PlayaNext terminates your Account and you dispute your termination, you must notify PlayaNext within 30 days of any such payment, non-payment, or termination by submitting an appeal. If you do not, any claim related to the disputed payment or your termination is waived.
You may terminate your use of the Services at any time by emailing us at support@playayield.com to delete your account data. Your PlayaYield Account will be considered terminated within 10 business days of PlayaNext's receipt of your notice. If you terminate your Account and the balance reflected in your Account equals or exceeds the Threshold Amounts, we will pay you that balance, subject to the payment provisions in Section 5, within approximately 90 days after the end of the calendar month in which you terminated your use of the Services. Any balance reflected in your Account below the Threshold Amounts will remain unpaid.
As between you and PlayaNext, PlayaNext is responsible for all taxes (if any) associated with the transactions between PlayaNext and advertisers in connection with Ads displayed on the Properties. You are responsible for all taxes (if any) associated with the Services, other than taxes based on PlayaNext's net income.
