i) the use of our Resources will meet your needs or requirements.
ii) the use of our Resources will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or free from errors.

Copyrights/Trademarks
All content and materials available on gameserverads.com, including but not limited to text, graphics, website name, code, images and logos are the intellectual property of MOTDgd, and are protected by applicable copyright and trademark law. Any inappropriate use, including but not limited to the reproduction, distribution, display or transmission of any content on this site is strictly prohibited, unless specifically authorized by MOTDgd.

You agree that we may, at our sole discretion, suspend or terminate your access to all or part of our website and Resources with or without notice and for any reason, including, without limitation, breach of this User Agreement. Any suspected illegal, fraudulent or abusive activity may be grounds for terminating your relationship and may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Upon suspension or termination, your right to use the Resources we provide will immediately cease, and we reserve the right to remove or delete any information that you may have on file with us, including any account or login information. Suspension (also known as an account access limitation, limited account) will result in all pending and future pending withdrawal requests being held indefinitely.
Governing Law
This website is controlled by MOTDgd Ltd from our offices located in the United Kingdom. It can be accessed by most countries around the world. As each country has laws that may differ from those of the United Kingdom, by accessing our website, you agree that the statutes and laws of United Kingdom, without regard to the conflict of laws and the United Nations Convention on the International Sales of Goods, will apply to all matters relating to the use of this website and the purchase of any products or services through this site.
Furthermore, any action to enforce this User Agreement shall be brought in Her Majesty’s courts of England & Wales located in the United Kingdom. You hereby agree to personal jurisdiction by such courts, and waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.
Guarantee
UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSED, MOTDgd EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
Payment
We make a payment after the terms of a withdrawal request have passed, that being NET60 by the middle of the month. All pending earnings are an estimate and therefore can be subject to change until made into a withdrawal request on the 1st of every month. We reserve the right to hold payment if we suspect fraudulent use of your advertisement without limitation (e.g. false impressions) as determined by MOTDgd Ltd at our sole discretion. We also retain the right to hold payment whereby you are in breach of our terms of service again using our discretion, and where you are then subsequently suspended or prohibited from using our services thereafter. There’s a minimum requirement of $1.00 USD on the confirmed balance in order for us to be able to create the automatic withdrawal request. The ‘due date’ for a withdrawal request is an estimate and as such we may pay it slightly early or slightly late, it completely depends on when we receive the revenue from the ad partner(s).
Traffic Quality
In order to maintain a good reputation with our advertisers, we may need to curb members which send us low quality traffic. This usually means we may impose a frequency cap on those with any of the following (or in combination): A poor CTR (click-through rate), low completion rates, and a low TRAQ score (poor ad viewability), while those with a good CTR, completion rates and TRAQ score will receive a minimal frequency cap (in most cases, none at all). In some cases where accounts have a consistently poor/low: CTR and/or completion rate, and/or a low TRAQ score we may be forced to suspend or terminate that account. We reserve the right to decide what a bad CTR or completion rate or TRAQ score is, and to take one or more actions as necessary, and are not required to provide the account holder with notice or details.
Traffic/Activity Restrictions
Please avoid using or encouraging the use of any of the following types of traffic/activity on our: plugin/advertisement URL(s); tag(s); MOTDgd (in general):
– Proxies of any kind
– TOR nodes
– VPN servers
– Bots/botnets and exploit scanners
– Traffic exchanges
– Traffic incentivising
– Unapproved custom plugins
– Unapproved domains and/or implementations
– Getting traffic from unapproved sources/websites
- Looking a redirect URl to the ad page/multiple ad page instances
– Looping ads in the background
– Encouraging users to mute ads
– Showing ads from another network simultaneously/or before MOTDgd
- Showing ads intentionally: out the fold/out of view/not fully viewable/in the background
– Spamming ad requests
- Illegitimate/false clicking on ads
- Muting our ads en-massse
- Sharing your account password with others: which subsequently results in TOS violation
- Hacking/using other accounts without an account holders permission
- Soliciting/promoting MOTDgd's competitors to other members
- Having duplicate accounts (without MOTDdgd's permission)
- Detected as having invalid traffic internally/externally through our partners: reasonable suspicion is sufficent
- Poor quality traffic (see traffic quality clause) – Monetising sources/servers that don’t belong to you
a) If a reasonable number of the ad requests made in the last hour consist of the above traffic types then your account may be suspended or at the very least flagged for investigation. We reserve the right to decide what is a reasonable number and are not required to provide you with details regarding this.
b) If your activity is prohibited by our TOS then the same principle as "a)" applies: in terms of investigation or suspension.
Duplicate Accounts
You may not have more than one account on any occasion unless you have our express permission first.
Communication
Occasionally we may contact you via email or our Steam community group (if subscribed). By signing up you agree that, by default, you will be added to a subscribers list for email purposes. Emails we send may be important (e.g. account information), or purely for announcement purposes. Any announcements we send can be unsubscribed from, but may also stop any and all further communications via email from us to yourself.
Conflict of Interest and Exclusive Usage
You agree, by using MOTDgd, that you will use MOTDgd as your primary advertisement source and not a similar ad partner/competitor service as the primary source for the duration of your MOTDgd account being active. Active means that your account is not limited access, whether or not it has recently had actual activity. Failure to comply to this clause, unless you’ve had our approval to an exception, may result in suspension and/or termination of your MOTDgd account, and as such may also result in you forfeiting your earnings.
