Content Suitability & Approval:

Mystery Ads is a privately operated, general-audience advertising service. An advertisement does not have to be illegal, fraudulent, or specifically named elsewhere in these Terms in order to be rejected. Mystery Ads may reject, pause, suspend, edit, or remove advertising that we consider inappropriate, hostile, questionable, unsuitable for our audience, inconsistent with the character of the service, likely to create complaints or unnecessary conflict, or harmful to the security, reputation, operation, or community atmosphere of Mystery Ads.

Mystery Ads may consider the overall context, repeated submissions, prior conduct, prior moderation history, and patterns of behavior when deciding whether an advertisement or destination violates these rules. Prior approval does not guarantee continued approval if the advertisement, destination, circumstances, or these Terms later change.

Advertising approval is at the discretion of Mystery Ads. Not every possible reason for rejection can be listed in these Terms, and approval does not transfer responsibility for the advertisement to Mystery Ads.
