Terms of Service

Evict sells advertising placement on a board we own and operate. A slot is a position on that board. Every slot belongs to Evict at all times: placement is licensed to you for as long as you fund it, and is never sold, assigned or transferred to you.

Placement is priced dynamically by you. You set a declared rate for the position you hold, and you pay 5% of that rate per day for as long as your ad runs there.

Your declared rate also sets what Evict charges another advertiser to take that position. Setting it low costs you less each day and makes your position cheaper to displace; setting it high costs you more and makes it dearer. That is the whole of the mechanic.

By running an ad here you accept that your position can be displaced at any time, without further notice to you, by an advertiser who pays Evict the displacement price your declared rate sets.

You buy a prepaid advertising balance from Evict, minimum $5 per top-up. Your daily placement charges, placement fees and displacement charges are drawn from it. We do not charge your payment method for individual actions.

Your balance has two parts. Cash is what you paid us for advertising. Advertising credit is issued by Evict, not paid to you by anyone else: it is not money, is not redeemable for cash, and cannot be withdrawn, transferred or assigned. It may only be spent on advertising within Evict.

When you spend, advertising credit is used before cash.

At no point does Evict transmit money between advertisers, hold funds on behalf of one advertiser for another, or act as an intermediary in a sale between users. Every payment is made to Evict for advertising services, and every credit is issued by Evict.

When another advertiser pays Evict to take your position, your ad stops running there and the campaign ends.

Evict then issues you advertising credit worth 90% of your declared rate, for use on future placement here. The remaining 10% is retained by Evict as the placement fee for arranging the change. This credit is issued by us as a continuation of your campaign; it is not a share of another advertiser's payment, and no part of anyone's payment is held or forwarded on your behalf.

A position cannot be displaced for ten minutes after it changes hands. A change to your declared rate is shown publicly and takes effect sixty seconds later. A displayed displacement price is honoured for ninety seconds.

If your balance reaches zero, you have a one-hour grace period. If it is still zero at the end of that period, your holdings are released and your listing is removed from the board. Your listing and account are not deleted and you may reclaim a slot later.

You are responsible for the content and destination of any URL you advertise. You must have the right to advertise it. See our Acceptable Listings policy.

We may remove, suspend or refuse any listing at our discretion, including for the reasons described in that policy. Where we remove a listing that is not in breach, we will refund the remaining cash balance attributable to it.

We do not guarantee traffic, clicks, conversions, uptime, or any particular level of visibility. Board traffic varies and may decline.

The service is provided as-is. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you is limited to the cash amount you paid us in the ninety days before the claim.

We may change the daily rate, the placement fee, or minimum placement prices. Material changes will be announced in advance, and running campaigns may be kept at their original rate at our discretion.
