Terms of Service

Effective: September 1, 2026 · AdX9.com

01 Structure

These terms govern use of adx9.com. Exchange participation is governed by the signed Seat Agreement and the Market Rulebook (both incorporated by reference). Where documents conflict, the Seat Agreement prevails, then the Rulebook, then these terms.

02 Site use

Site content, marks and market data belong to AdX9 or its licensors. Market figures shown on the site are illustrative; production market data is provided under seat agreements. Don't probe, scrape at scale, or misrepresent affiliation with the exchange.

03 Seat obligations

• Seats trade on the published Rulebook: first-price auction, uniform 4.5% take rate, deterministic tie-breaking, published floors.
• Requests must carry lawful, accurate signals — sanitized IDs, honest user-agent/device data, valid consent strings where personalization requires them.
• No re-identification of pseudonymized IDs, no cross-seat data pooling, no attempt to reverse-engineer other seats' strategies from logs.
• Creative demand must pass our scanning and content policy; malware or deceptive flows are treated as fraud.
• Supply seats warrant inventory legality (ads.txt, sellers.json, app-store compliance) and audience lawfulness.

04 Fees & settlement

• Take rate is 4.5% of the clearing price, deducted at settlement and itemized on every log line and invoice.
• Seats settle monthly, in the currency of the seat agreement; late balances accrue 1.5% monthly and delivery may be throttled.
• Auto-credits for confirmed invalid traffic are issued in the next settlement cycle with supporting log evidence.

05 Service levels

Trading and Market Maker seats carry the uptime and latency commitments stated in the Seat Agreement, with fee-credit remedies for qualifying misses. Sandbox seats have no SLA and may be migrated or restarted without notice.

06 IP, logs & feedback

Seats own their bid strategies and data; AdX9 owns the exchange, the Rulebook and aggregate market statistics. You may use your own logs freely; you may not use exchange-wide logs to train competing matching models. Feedback we act on may be implemented without compensation.

07 Warranties & liability

The exchange is operated with institutional care, but markets involve third parties we don't control: no warranty of fills, win rates or revenue outcomes is given. To the maximum extent permitted by law: no indirect or consequential damages; aggregate liability capped at the greater of fees paid in the prior six months or $10,000 (site use only: $100); carve-outs for confidentiality, IP and non-limitable liabilities.

08 Suspension & termination

We may suspend a seat immediately for fraud, malware, consent violations or security events; non-payment suspensions follow 5 business days' notice. Either party may terminate per the Seat Agreement. On exit, your logs are exportable for 30 days, then deleted per the Privacy Policy.

09 Law & venue

Illinois law governs (without conflict rules); venue is Cook County, Illinois, unless your mandatory consumer or local law says otherwise. Notices: AdX9.com, 233 S Wacker Dr, Suite 4100, Chicago, IL 60606 · legal@adx9.com.
