Terms of Service

1. The Service

tickr is an advertising network for AI wait-time. Publishers run the tickr Chrome extension, which can replace a supported AI chat's temporary thinking line with one clearly labelled sponsored line. Advertisers fund campaigns in USD, create active browser-slot creatives, and the highest eligible funded campaign fills each line. Revenue is split 50/50 between the Publisher and tickr; Publisher earnings are redeemable for gift cards and other payout options through our payout partners. Optional native or SDK surfaces may be offered separately.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. You may not use the Service where prohibited by law, or if you are subject to sanctions or located in a sanctioned jurisdiction.

3. Accounts

You sign in with Google through Better Auth. You are responsible for keeping your Google account and tickr session secure. We do not receive or store your Google password. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

4. Publishers (earning)

As a Publisher, you authorize tickr to request and serve a sponsored line in supported AI chat interfaces while a response is generating. You earn 50% of metered revenue, accrued in USD and redeemable for gift cards or other payout options through our payout partners, subject to a minimum threshold, available funds, and partner availability. You are responsible for complying with the terms of the AI services and browsers where you use the extension.

5. Advertisers (funding)

As an Advertiser, you fund campaigns by prepaying tickr through a supported payment method; payments credit your advertiser balance 1:1. Campaigns serve only when they are active, have an active creative for the requested slot, and have enough remaining campaign budget and advertiser balance to pay for the impression. Impressions and clicks are metered server-side against that balance (a click is weighted at 1× an impression). Metered spend is final and non-refundable. You are responsible for the legality and accuracy of your creatives and destination URLs.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• generate fake or fraudulent impressions or clicks, or manipulate the auction;
• submit unlawful, deceptive, infringing, malicious, or adult content;
• interfere with, or attempt to reverse-engineer, the metering or settlement systems;
• use the Service to launder funds or evade sanctions; or
• violate any applicable law.

We may suspend or remove campaigns, surfaces, or accounts that violate these Terms.

7. Payments & Settlement

All amounts are denominated in US dollars. During testing, the Service may operate in a sandbox mode where balances and payouts have no monetary value. Gift-card redemptions are final once delivered. You are responsible for any taxes arising from your use of the Service.

8. $TICKR Token

Any reference to a $TICKR token, buyback, or related mechanism describes a planned or experimental feature. It is not an offer or solicitation to buy or sell a security or any financial instrument, and not a promise of value, profit, or return. Token mechanics may change or never launch. Nothing in the Service is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.

9. Intellectual Property

tickr's marks, site content, browser extension, dashboard, and ad-network software are owned by tickr or its licensors. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to use the Service as intended. Third-party open-source notices, where applicable, remain governed by their respective licenses.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third parties including Google sign-in, Better Auth, payment processors, payout providers, hosting, and analytics providers. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms; we are not responsible for them.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, payout partner availability, or the value or availability of any token.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, tickr will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or tokens. Our aggregate liability for any claim will not exceed the greater of the amounts you paid to, or earned from, tickr in the three months before the claim, or US$100.

13. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold tickr harmless from claims arising out of your content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for any violation of these Terms or to comply with law. Accrued, withdrawable balances remain yours, subject to these Terms.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms; material changes are reflected by the “last updated” date above. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of tickr's principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved as set out here or as required by applicable law.
