HypeTribe Ads

Advertising Policies

These policies explain what can be promoted through HypeTribe Ads, how campaign approval works, which categories require additional review, and the standards every advertiser must meet before a campaign can go live.

Last updated: March 30, 2026

Overview

These Advertising Policies apply to all placements, editorial features, creative production engagements, and promotional campaigns purchased through HypeTribe Ads. They are designed to protect our audience, our publishing standards, our partners, and every advertiser using the platform.

HypeTribe NG is a curated media brand, not an open ad exchange. Every campaign is reviewed for quality, accuracy, safety, audience fit, and operational feasibility before it is approved for production, scheduling, or publication.

Payment does not guarantee automatic publication. It reserves a commercial order and triggers review against these policies and HypeTribe's editorial standards.

Review and Approval Process

Every campaign is subject to review before it is published, produced, scheduled, or distributed. HypeTribe may request clarifications, revised copy, replacement assets, additional documentation, or landing-page fixes before approval.

We review campaigns for legal risk, platform suitability, brand fit, audience trust, technical quality, and whether the proposed campaign can be executed to our standard without creating confusion, reputational harm, or regulatory exposure.

Campaigns may be approved, rejected, paused, or returned for revision.
Approval decisions may depend on package type, creative quality, target claims, landing page quality, and rights ownership.
HypeTribe may adapt copy, trim captions, or refine presentation for platform fit while preserving the core campaign intent.

Advertiser and Campaign Eligibility

Advertisers must provide accurate billing details, a working contact email, and truthful information about the person, brand, product, event, artist, or service being promoted.

We may refuse or limit access where an advertiser has a history of chargebacks, abusive conduct, misleading submissions, repeated policy violations, or activity that creates material operational or reputational risk.

You must have the legal right to promote the campaign materials you submit.
You must be authorized to act for the brand, artist, label, event, or business you represent.
You must not impersonate another person, company, publisher, or public figure.

Creative, Asset, and Landing Page Standards

Assets, captions, media kits, and landing pages must be clear, accurate, professional, and technically usable. Broken links, corrupted files, unreadable assets, low-quality exports, or misleading before-and-after claims may delay or block approval.

Campaign materials should match the package purchased and the destination they lead to. A campaign cannot promise one thing in the post and deliver something materially different on the landing page, storefront, registration page, or streaming destination.

Submitted media must be high-resolution and free of unauthorized trademarks, music, imagery, or third-party content.
Calls to action must be specific and truthful.
Landing pages must function properly, load reliably, and be appropriate for the audience you are trying to reach.

Prohibited Content

The following categories are prohibited and will not be approved on HypeTribe Ads under any package, placement, or workaround.

Illegal products, unlawful services, or campaigns that promote criminal conduct.
Fraud, scams, deceptive earnings claims, fake giveaways, impersonation, or misleading investment promises.
Hate speech, violent extremism, harassment, discriminatory targeting, or content that exploits sensitive identity categories.
Sexually explicit content, exploitative nudity, non-consensual imagery, or adult services unsuitable for HypeTribe's audience and publisher standards.
Counterfeit goods, piracy, unauthorized resale, or campaigns that infringe intellectual property rights.
Weapons, ammunition, or instructions for violent harm.
False medical, wellness, financial, or legal claims likely to mislead consumers.

Restricted Content

Some categories are not automatically prohibited, but they require heightened review, stronger substantiation, and may be limited, refused, or approved only under tightly controlled conditions.

Alcohol and nightlife promotions.
Health, wellness, supplement, skincare, or body-related claims.
Financial services, fintech offers, lending, crypto, trading, or investment-related messaging.
Betting, gaming, and prize-based promotions where permitted by law.
Political, advocacy, public affairs, or issue-based campaigns.
Ticketed events, experiences, or activations that depend on permits, venue approvals, or organizer authority.
If your campaign falls into a restricted category, HypeTribe may request licenses, claim substantiation, event approvals, proof of ownership, or additional business documentation before review can continue.

Editorial and Sponsored Content Rules

Editorial placements and website features are still governed by HypeTribe's publishing standards. Sponsored materials must be accurate, professionally framed, and suitable for publication on a premium media platform.

We reserve the right to shape headlines, structure copy, request source material, clarify timelines, and reject editorial angles that are defamatory, speculative, unsupported, manipulative, or inconsistent with our brand position.

Sponsored and commercial content may be labeled where appropriate.
HypeTribe retains editorial discretion over tone, formatting, and publication fit.
An advertiser cannot require HypeTribe to publish unsafe, inaccurate, or misleading claims as a condition of service.

Music, Event, and Brand Promotion Rules

Campaigns for music releases, artists, festivals, concerts, launches, and brand activations must be backed by real release ownership, organizer authority, or brand authorization. You may only promote work you are entitled to distribute or represent.

For event campaigns, you are responsible for ensuring your event details, ticketing links, dates, venue information, permits, and guest announcements are accurate at the time of submission and remain accurate throughout the campaign run.

Streaming links, release dates, ticket links, and event details must be current and valid.
You must hold or control the rights required for music, visuals, artwork, and promotional media.
HypeTribe may pause a campaign if the release, event, or public information changes materially after approval.

Payments, Rejections, and Refunds

Campaign pricing is charged in NGN and subject to VAT where applicable. Payment secures an order and triggers review, production planning, or scheduling depending on the package purchased.

If a campaign is rejected for policy reasons, rights issues, missing documentation, or inaccurate advertiser representations, HypeTribe may refuse publication and determine whether a refund, account credit, or administrative deduction is appropriate based on the stage already reached.

Approved campaigns are generally non-refundable once production, scheduling, or publication work has begun.
Refund outcomes may vary where external payment fees, production time, or third-party costs have already been incurred.
Chargebacks or payment disputes may lead to account restrictions while the matter is reviewed.

Enforcement and Offboarding

HypeTribe may reject, remove, pause, down-rank, or refuse future campaigns where an advertiser breaches these policies, misuses the platform, harasses staff, submits unlawful materials, or creates repeated operational risk.

We may also offboard advertisers, restrict dashboard access, or preserve records for legal, audit, fraud-prevention, and dispute-handling purposes where necessary.

Policy enforcement may apply across all future campaigns tied to the same advertiser, team, payment profile, or represented brand.
Repeated violations may result in permanent refusal of service.
