you agree to these terms and conditions.

We accept advertising for family friendly sites only.
We are not accepting any new advertising "deals", trades or

unfortunately, no longer have the time to negotiate "deals".

to conform to applicable laws and regulations, Whispy.com policies, the public
interest, or that it deems to be inappropriate for any reason. We may reject or
remove any advertisement for a website which is not functional.
Should we decide not to accept your advertising, your full payment will be
refunded through PayPal. If after your ad has been displayed, we find it
conflicts with any of these policies you will receive a refund for the unused
portion of your fees. The refund of all or part of your fees shall be the
advertiser's sole remedy for termination of this agreement.

be displayed within a certain time period. The number of impressions per day
will depend on the number of advertisers and the number of page views each day.
Ads are displayed according to the page content and the keywords selected for
each ad. However, pages that contain a variety of information, such as the main
page, rotate the ads evenly without keyword targeting.
Acceptance of Terms: By placing an advertisement on Whispy.com, you are
agreeing to our Terms & Conditions.
Whispy.com requires that all third-party served rich media campaigns must have
alternate GIF versions of creative available. Materials for rich media ads must
include code that calls for the following:
The link must target a new browser window
The code must define the dimensions (i.e. width and height) of the banner.
Dimensions cannot be different from the ad unit's pixel size. The pixel size is
a maximum and also a minimum.
Whispy.com will endeavor to implement all third-party served rich media ads, but
retains the right to limit the amount of development time spent per ad.
Whispy.com is not responsible for developing programming scripts to ensure
compatibility with third-party serving software. Any materials necessary to
insure compatibility must be provided by advertisers or their third-party
serving agent.
Default banners must either be animated GIF versions of the advertiser's
campaign or a pre-approved PSA.
Currently, Whispy.com is not able to third-party serve ads for streaming video.
Whispy.com reserves the right to terminate a campaign at any indication that it
is not being properly served.
If you make income claims
In order to make an income claim in your ad (such as "earn $500 a week" or
"become a millionaire") you will need to show evidence that most representatives
or your company have reached that income. If you cannot substantiate the claims,
please simply reword your ad to read something like "earn up to $500 a week" or
"potential to become a millionaire."
