TERMS & CONDITIONS

Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: October 29, 2025

Welcome to My Zip Ads (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By purchasing ad space, using our website, or engaging with our shared postcard marketing services, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully.

Services Provided

My Zip Ads provides shared direct-mail postcard advertising through USPS Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM). Each postcard contains a total of up to 16 ad spaces — 8 ads per side. In ZIP codes where gaming is permitted, one side may feature up to 8 gaming-related businesses, while the opposite side is reserved for up to 8 exclusive local business categories. Category exclusivity applies only on the non-gaming side unless otherwise noted.

Eligibility

You must be a business owner or authorized representative to purchase ad space. We reserve the right to deny advertising to any business at our discretion for any reason, including but not limited to category conflicts, inappropriate content, or missed deadlines.

Payment and Billing

All payments must be made in advance based on the plan selected (6-month, 12-month, or double-space options). Prices and offers are subject to change. Auto-renewal applies unless written cancellation notice is provided at least 90 days prior to the renewal date. Installment or financing options may be offered through third-party providers such as PayPal or Klarna; these services are independent of My Zip Ads.

Ad Submission and Deadlines

Advertisers must submit artwork, copy, or all required assets by the stated deadline for each mailing. If materials are not received on time, a previously approved design or filler ad may be used. No refunds, credits, or adjustments will be issued for late submissions.

Category Exclusivity

Each postcard allows only one business per category on the exclusive side (for example, one pizzeria, one roofer, one salon). In ZIP codes where gaming is permitted, one side of the postcard may be dedicated solely to gaming-related businesses (up to 8 total). The opposite side remains reserved for exclusive categories only.

Businesses on the exclusive side that also offer gaming may include a small-print mention such as “gaming available,” but the design and offers must focus primarily on their main business category (for example, a sports bar’s food and drink specials). Gaming-focused layouts or offers are not permitted on the exclusive side.

Offer and Category Guidelines

Advertisers may not promote offers that directly compete with another advertiser’s exclusive category on the same postcard. For instance, a pizzeria may not advertise burgers if a burger restaurant is also featured. Neutral items such as drinks, sides, salads, desserts, or kids’ meals are acceptable. If a category slot is unfilled on a particular postcard, a limited reference to that category may be permitted at our discretion, provided it is not the main focus of the offer.

Campaign Activation & Fulfillment Policy

Each ZIP code campaign begins mailing once a minimum of eight (8) advertisers have joined. If fewer than eight advertisers are confirmed by the campaign’s cutoff date, My Zip Ads will hold the campaign open for up to two additional monthly cycles (a maximum of three months total from the original signup date) to allow new participants to join.

During this time, existing advertisers may recommend additional businesses from the same ZIP code to participate. My Zip Ads may offer referral incentives at its discretion to help activate the campaign.

If, after the three-month period, the ZIP code still does not reach the eight-advertiser minimum, My Zip Ads will automatically fulfill each advertiser’s payment through an individual or paired postcard mailing of comparable advertising value. The postcard size, print volume, and distribution quantity will be determined by My Zip Ads to ensure reasonable exposure while maintaining production balance.

All payments are non-refundable once submitted. Campaign mailings, quantities, and postcard dimensions may vary depending on participation levels and postal delivery factors. My Zip Ads is not responsible for USPS delivery timing or delays.

Video and Social Media Policy

My Zip Ads LLC offers optional video and social media exposure as part of its advertising packages. Active advertisers participating in the My Zip Ads Local Business Spotlight program agree to the following terms:

1. Eligibility and Allotment

12-month advertisers may submit up to 12 videos during their active term.
6-month advertisers may submit up to 3 videos during their active term.
Unused video submissions do not carry over after renewal or expiration.

2. Creation and Submission

Advertisers may record their own videos following My Zip Ads’ content guidelines and upload them for review.

Alternatively, My Zip Ads may produce one video for the advertiser upon request.

Production and posting may take up to 60 days from filming.

3. Posting and Exposure

Videos are featured on My Zip Ads’ official social media pages and may include branded introduction and closing segments for consistency.

Videos remain live for the duration of the advertiser’s paid term.

When an ad term ends or is canceled, videos may be hidden or removed from public view.

4. Boosting and Promotion

My Zip Ads may, at its discretion, boost or re-share videos for promotional purposes.

Boosting is not guaranteed and is determined based on scheduling, performance, and relevance.

5. Content Guidelines

All submitted content must comply with community standards and be appropriate for general audiences.

No vulgar, discriminatory, or explicit material will be accepted.

My Zip Ads reserves the right to edit, caption, reject, or remove content that does not meet brand or platform standards.

6. Ownership and Rights

Advertiser grants My Zip Ads LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and distribute submitted videos and associated imagery for marketing and advertising purposes across print, digital, and social media platforms.

Refunds and Cancellations

All sales are final. Once payment is made, your ad space is reserved exclusively for your business and preparation for design, print, and scheduling begins immediately. Because each space is category-protected and time-sensitive, no refunds or partial credits will be issued after purchase.

Advertising plans renew automatically unless written cancellation notice is provided at least 90 days prior to the renewal date. This ensures your category remains protected and allows sufficient time to fill your spot if you choose not to renew.

If cancellation is submitted after the 90-day window, it will automatically apply to the next renewal cycle.

Ownership of Materials

You retain ownership of your submitted artwork and logo. However, by submitting materials, you grant My Zip Ads a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use them for your ad, marketing previews, and promotional purposes.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

By purchasing ad space with My Zip Ads, you agree that our total liability, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total amount you paid for the advertising service. My Zip Ads, its owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, including loss of business, sales, or goodwill arising from your participation in any advertising campaign.

You acknowledge that printing, postal delivery, and consumer response are influenced by factors beyond our control. While My Zip Ads strives to meet all mailing timelines and maintain design accuracy, we make no guarantee of response rate, customer engagement, or specific business results.

By participating, you agree to hold My Zip Ads harmless and indemnify us against any claim, chargeback, dispute, or action arising from advertising outcomes, postal delays, or third-party services used in connection with your campaign.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. All changes will be posted on our website, and continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of those changes.

If you have any questions regarding these terms, please contact us at info@myzipads.us.
