1.Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client," "you," or "your") and Popco Media, Inc. ("Popco Media," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing our platform or placing a campaign, you agree to these Terms in their entirety.
If you are placing a campaign on behalf of a company, label, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
2.Description of Service
Popco Media provides YouTube music video promotion services using Google Ads, the official YouTube advertising platform operated by Google LLC. Our service consists of the following:
- Creation and management of Google Ads campaigns targeting your YouTube video
- Audience targeting configuration based on your selected genres and geographies
- Campaign monitoring, bid optimization, and performance management
- Delivery reporting and analytics dashboard access
Popco Media sells advertising campaigns, not views. We do not guarantee a specific number of views. View projections are estimates based on historical campaign performance and are not contractual commitments. The money-back guarantee (Section 5) applies when delivery falls significantly below projections.
3.View Ranges and Projections
Each campaign tier includes projected view ranges (e.g., "5,000–12,500 views"). These projections are derived from historical Google Ads campaign data and represent expected outcomes at typical Cost-Per-View (CPV) rates.
Actual views may fall above or below projected ranges for reasons including but not limited to: changes in Google Ads auction competition, seasonal demand fluctuations, video content quality, thumbnail and title performance, or geographic targeting changes.
View projections are estimates only and are not guaranteed outcomes. Popco Media does not artificially inflate view counts and does not use bots, click farms, or non-Google advertising networks.
4.Client Obligations
By submitting a campaign, you agree to the following:
- Video must remain public: Your YouTube video must remain publicly accessible for the entire campaign duration. If the video is made private, unlisted, deleted, or age-restricted after a campaign launches, the campaign will be paused and no refund will be issued for views already delivered.
- You own the content: You represent that you own or have the rights to the YouTube video being promoted, including all music, visuals, and other content contained therein.
- Content compliance: The video must comply with YouTube's Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. Popco Media reserves the right to decline or cancel campaigns for videos that violate YouTube's policies.
- Accurate information: You agree to provide accurate genre, target audience, and contact information during campaign setup.
5.Money-Back Guarantee
Popco Media offers a pro-rata refund guarantee when campaign delivery falls below the guarantee threshold. The following terms govern this guarantee:
Guarantee Formula
Guarantee Threshold: 90% × Projected View Minimum for your tier.
Eligibility: Views Delivered < Guarantee Threshold.
Refund Amount: (Deficit ÷ Threshold) × Campaign Price.
Example: A Small campaign ($250) has a projected minimum of 5,000 views. Guarantee threshold = 4,500 views. If 3,000 views are delivered, the deficit is 1,500 views. Refund = (1,500 ÷ 4,500) × $250 = $83.33.
The guarantee does not apply in the following circumstances:
- The video was made private, unlisted, deleted, or age-restricted during the campaign.
- The client provided inaccurate video URL, genre, or geographic targeting information.
- The campaign was cancelled by the client after launch.
- YouTube suspended, restricted, or removed the video for content policy violations.
- The refund claim is made more than 30 days after campaign completion.
Refunds are processed via the original payment method within 5–10 business days of approval.
6.Payment and Billing
All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., a third-party payment processor. Popco Media does not store your credit card or payment information directly. By making a payment, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Campaign fees are charged in full at the time of campaign submission. Campaigns are not started until payment is confirmed. All prices are in United States Dollars (USD).
If a campaign is cancelled before launch, you may request a refund minus a $50 processing fee. Once a campaign is marked "Active", only the money-back guarantee terms in Section 5 apply.
7.YouTube API Data
Popco Media uses the YouTube Data API v3 to provide real-time campaign analytics. By connecting your YouTube account, you authorize Popco Media to access the following data on a read-only basis:
- Video statistics (view count, like count, comment count)
- Channel statistics (subscriber count, total view count)
- Analytics data for videos associated with active campaigns
Popco Media does not upload, delete, edit, or modify any content on your YouTube channel. Access is strictly read-only. You may revoke YouTube API access at any time through your Google Account security settings. Revoking access will disable real-time analytics in your Popco Media dashboard but will not affect active campaigns.
Our use of YouTube API Services is subject to the YouTube API Services Terms of Service.
8.Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, POPCO MEDIA'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID POPCO MEDIA IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
IN NO EVENT SHALL POPCO MEDIA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, EVEN IF POPCO MEDIA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Popco Media does not guarantee any specific business outcomes as a result of increased YouTube views, including but not limited to: record deal offers, sync licensing opportunities, Spotify playlist placements, social media follower growth, or concert ticket sales.
9.Intellectual Property
You retain full ownership of all content you submit to Popco Media, including your YouTube video and music. By submitting a campaign, you grant Popco Media a limited, non-exclusive license to use your video URL and public metadata solely for the purposes of running your advertising campaign.
Popco Media's platform, dashboard, reports, and all associated software are proprietary to Popco Media, Inc. and may not be reproduced, distributed, or reverse-engineered without prior written consent.
10.Termination
Popco Media reserves the right to cancel any campaign and refuse service to any client at its sole discretion, with a full refund of any unspent campaign budget. Reasons may include but are not limited to: violation of these Terms, content policy violations, fraudulent activity, or chargebacks.
Clients may cancel a campaign before it launches for a refund minus the $50 processing fee. Post-launch cancellations are subject to the guarantee terms in Section 5 only.
11.Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, except for claims eligible for small claims court.
You waive any right to a jury trial and agree to resolve disputes only on an individual basis, not as part of a class action.
12.Changes to These Terms
Popco Media may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email to the address on your account at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of our services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
