pluug Advertiser Terms
Effective: 3/30/25
1. Acceptance of Terms
By partnering with pluug.io, using our advertising tools, or allowing your deals to be displayed on the pluug.io platform (the “Service”), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Advertiser Terms (the “Terms”). These Terms create a legally binding agreement between you (“Advertiser”) and pluug.io. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not participate in or use the Service as an Advertiser.
2. Description of Service
pluug.io is a metasearch platform that collects and displays publicly available cannabis product deals from dispensary websites and e-commerce platforms. This benefits Advertisers by linking them with consumers searching for cannabis deals. The Service provides a curated marketplace where consumers can discover and compare offers from multiple dispensaries in jurisdictions where cannabis is legally permitted. We operate only in legal recreational and medical jurisdictions with licensed dispensaries and brands. As a deal aggregation and visibility platform, we drive traffic to your website, increase your exposure, and connect you with a broader audience of potential customers. We do not sell or fulfill cannabis products directly; all transactions are processed and completed by the respective Advertisers.
3. Advertiser Eligibility
To participate as an Advertiser, you must be a licensed dispensary, brand, or e-commerce platform operating legally in a jurisdiction where recreational or medical cannabis is permitted. You represent and warrant that your business complies with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, including cannabis regulations, and that you hold all necessary licenses and permits. pluug.io may, at its discretion, request proof of your licensing or eligibility.
4. Data Aggregation and Display
pluug.io collects publicly available deal data from your website or e-commerce platform and presents it in a user-friendly marketplace. We do not alter or manipulate your original data. Product images, descriptions, and deal information are displayed as sourced from your platform. You grant pluug.io a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute this data solely to promote your deals on the Service. We strive for accuracy but cannot ensure the timeliness or availability of aggregated data, as it depends on the information you make publicly available.
5. Traffic and Revenue Benefits
pluug.io serves as a marketing tool to drive qualified customers to your e-commerce site or product pages, enhancing your visibility and boosting potential sales. By boosting your online presence, pluug.io helps you reach more customers without handling transactions for you. We do not handle point-of-sale (POS) transactions, payments, or order fulfillment—these remain your sole responsibility. Our goal is to increase your revenue by linking you with consumers actively seeking cannabis deals.
6. Advertiser Responsibilities
Accuracy of Information: You are responsible for ensuring that all deal data, product descriptions, pricing, and availability on your website or platform are accurate and up-to-date. pluug.io is not liable for errors or discrepancies in the data we collect from you.
Compliance: You agree to comply with all applicable laws, including cannabis advertising regulations, and to ensure your deals meet legal standards in the jurisdictions where they are offered.
Technical Access: You agree to maintain your website or platform in a way that allows pluug.io to collect data efficiently and non-invasively, without requiring login credentials or violating your terms of service.
7. Safe and Responsible Data Aggregation
pluug.io collects data in accordance with applicable data protection and computer misuse laws. We space out requests to minimize strain on your website, network, or servers, adhering to responsible data practices. We do not circumvent technical measures or access controls and only use publicly available data unless otherwise agreed in a partnership.
8. Attribution and Disclaimer
All deal data displayed on pluug.io will be attributed to you as the source. A disclaimer, visible on pages showing your data, will clarify that pluug.io collects publicly available information and does not claim ownership or management of it.
9. Partnership and Fees
Advertising fees on pluug.io, outside of subscription plans, may apply and can change at pluug.io’s discretion. Payment for these fees is due when the service is provided. Without a paid advertising arrangement, pluug.io collects your publicly available data at no cost to you, offering free visibility and traffic-driving benefits. Participation in pluug.io does not prevent you from advertising on other platforms, and pluug.io does not claim exclusivity unless otherwise agreed. We will not refund non-subscription fees for campaigns that are canceled, rejected, or terminated early, unless pluug.io fails to deliver the agreed-upon service due to our sole fault.
10. Subscription
Advertisers may opt into a subscription plan to boost their visibility and access additional promotional features on the Service. Subscription benefits include access to profile analytics and the ads manager. Profile analytics offer insights into your deal performance and audience engagement. The ads manager allows you to manage and optimize your advertising campaigns on the platform.
Subscribers will receive periodic performance reports detailing impressions, clicks, and other metrics as determined by pluug.io. Subscription pricing is billed monthly or annually and may change at pluug.io’s discretion. Subscription payments are due upon signup. They will renew automatically (monthly or annually, based on your selection) unless you cancel or pluug.io terminates the subscription. You may cancel your subscription anytime by contacting yo@pluug.io, with cancellation taking effect at the end of the current billing cycle. No refunds will be provided for partial billing periods. Any data you provide via the ads manager will be handled per our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA). Additional subscription features, like priority placement, may be introduced or adjusted periodically.
11. Advertising Content Guidelines
Advertisers must ensure that all content submitted to the Service (e.g., deal descriptions, images, or promotional materials) complies with applicable local, state, and federal laws, including cannabis advertising regulations. Prohibited content includes false or misleading claims, unapproved health claims, materials targeting minors, or content that violates pluug.io’s community standards, among other restrictions. We reserve the right to review, approve, or reject any advertising content at our sole discretion and to remove content that violates these Terms without prior notice.
12. Campaign Management
Advertisers may submit and manage advertising campaigns through the ads manager (available to subscribers) or other tools provided by pluug.io. To start a campaign, submit deal details—including product descriptions, pricing, availability, and campaign duration—via the ads manager or by contacting yo@pluug.io if not subscribed. Campaigns must meet these minimum requirements: a specified minimum spend, a duration of at least 7 days, and a deal value attractive to consumers, as determined by pluug.io.
All submissions undergo an approval process, typically completed within 48 hours, though pluug.io may extend this timeline at its discretion. We may reject or request changes to campaigns that fail to meet our Advertising Content Guidelines, technical specifications, minimum requirements, or legal standards. Once approved, campaigns will launch on a schedule set by pluug.io unless a specific start date is requested and agreed upon. Subscribers can monitor campaign performance (e.g., impressions, clicks) via the ads manager. They may pause, edit, or end campaigns at any time, subject to a 24-hour processing period.
pluug.io determines ad placement across the platform unless priority placement is a subscription benefit. We do not guarantee specific performance outcomes (e.g., traffic volume or sales) unless explicitly stated. Advertisers must keep campaign details accurate and notify pluug.io of changes (e.g., sold-out deals) promptly to avoid consumer confusion. Campaigns will only appear in jurisdictions where cannabis is legally permitted. pluug.io uses geofencing technology to limit ad visibility to legal jurisdictions, ensuring compliance with relevant laws. Advertisers must specify any additional regional restrictions at submission, which pluug.io will incorporate into geofencing parameters where feasible.
13. Prohibited Activities
Advertisers may not engage in activities that harm the Service, its users, or pluug.io’s reputation. This includes submitting fraudulent or misleading deal data, using automated tools (e.g., bots) to manipulate visibility or analytics, attempting to reverse-engineer the platform, or violating third-party intellectual property rights. Violating this section may lead to immediate termination of your participation and potential legal action.
14. Intellectual Property
pluug.io retains all rights to its trademarks, branding, platform design, and proprietary technology. Advertisers retain ownership of their submitted content (e.g., deal descriptions, logos) but grant pluug.io a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute such content for advertising purposes on the Service. Advertisers may not use pluug.io’s intellectual property without prior written consent.
15. Billing Disputes
If you dispute any fees or subscription charges, you must notify pluug.io in writing at yo@pluug.io within 30 days of the charge. We will investigate and respond within a reasonable timeframe. If you fail to report a dispute within this period, you waive your right to contest the charge. pluug.io’s determination on disputes is final, subject to applicable law.
16. Ad Performance Disputes
If you believe campaign performance metrics (e.g., impressions, clicks) reported via the ads manager or periodic reports do not accurately reflect the Service provided, you must notify pluug.io in writing at yo@pluug.io within 30 days of receiving the report. We will investigate and provide a response within a reasonable timeframe, including any corrective action if warranted. pluug.io’s analytics data is deemed authoritative unless you provide clear evidence of an error. This process does not apply to billing disputes, which are governed by Section 15.
17. Third-Party Links
The Service may link to your website or other third-party platforms. We are not responsible for your site’s content, privacy practices, or terms of use. Consumers accessing your site via pluug.io do so at their own risk, subject to your policies.
18. Termination
By pluug.io: We may suspend or terminate your participation as an Advertiser or remove your deals from the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, at our sole discretion.
By You: You may request removal of your deals from pluug.io by contacting us at yo@pluug.io. We will process these requests promptly, unless delayed by prior commitments. You may also opt out of free data aggregation by notifying us in writing, though aggregated data already displayed may remain on the Service for up to 30 days post-request to allow for system updates.
These Terms will continue to apply to obligations or actions prior to termination.
19. Exclusion of Warranties
The Service is provided to Advertisers “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the volume of traffic, sales increases, or accuracy of data display, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that the Service will be error-free or uninterrupted.
20. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, pluug.io shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or revenue, arising from your participation in the Service. Our maximum liability for any claim under these Terms is limited to $100.
21. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold pluug.io harmless from any claims, losses, or damages (including legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your deal data, or your failure to comply with applicable laws.
22. Force Majeure
pluug.io shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing the Service due to causes beyond our reasonable control, such as natural disasters, strikes, government actions, or technical outages. In such cases, active campaigns may be paused or extended at pluug.io’s discretion, with Advertisers notified of adjustments. Advertisers affected by similar uncontrollable events may request campaign extensions by contacting yo@pluug.io, subject to our approval.
23. Confidentiality
Any non-public information you provide to pluug.io (e.g., campaign strategies via the ads manager) will be treated as confidential and used solely to deliver the Service, unless required by law or with your consent. pluug.io will not disclose such information to third parties except as outlined in our Privacy Policy. Advertisers agree to treat pluug.io’s proprietary platform details (e.g., analytics methodologies) as confidential and not disclose them without prior written consent.
24. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona and applicable federal laws of the United States, without regard to Arizona’s conflict of law principles. Any dispute, claim, or legal action related to these Terms or the Service must be resolved solely in the state or federal courts of Maricopa County, Arizona. By participating as an Advertiser, you consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
25. Changes to These Terms
pluug.io may update these Terms at any time by posting the revised version here and updating the “Effective Date.” We may notify you of significant changes via email or the Service. If changes materially affect active campaigns (e.g., placement algorithms, analytics reporting), we will endeavor to notify affected Advertisers at least 7 days in advance, when possible. Your continued participation after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
