Definition of a Publisher

A "Publisher" is understood to be a registered Platform User listed in the PRNEWS.IO Publisher database, who publishes sponsored content on websites, blogs, or social media accounts, and whose activity is governed by these Terms of Use. A Publisher may be either a natural person (individual) or a legal entity (company).

Publishers can act either as:

  • Direct representatives of the media outlets (owners, staff, or officially authorized personnel), or
  • Authorized resellers, who have the legal right and necessary agreements to represent and provide services on behalf of the media outlet.

PRNEWS.IO reserves the right to request proof of such authorization from resellers at any time.

If a direct owner or verified representative of a media outlet contacts PRNEWS.IO with a request to transfer control of a listed media outlet to their account, PRNEWS.IO reserves the right to:

  • Unilaterally transfer the media listing to the rightful owner or representative.
  • Contact the media outlet directly to verify authorization or clarify the status of its representation on the platform.
  • Decide at its sole discretion whether to approve or reject the listing of any media provided by intermediaries.

All decisions regarding the listing, visibility, and management of media outlets on the PRNEWS.IO Platform remain at the sole discretion of PRNEWS.IO.

Publisher Registration, Personal Identification, Entry into the Terms Of Use

PRNEWS.IO allows Private Persons and Companies who have passed identification procedures (such as KYC, AML, etc.) and read and agreed with these Terms to use the services offered by PRNEWS.IO, including offer services via the Platform and entering into agreements. An unidentified Publisher cannot use the Platform services except to modify or supplement their data and personal identification.

Our service provider, Veriff, carries out the identification procedures in connection with legal requirements and full compliance with the GDPR and other legislation in personal data. You can learn more about the processing of your data in our Privacy Policy.

The publisher status is acquired at the moment that the user registers on the website as such and is recorded of his entry in the "Register of Publishers".

Once registered, the Publisher must check the websites or social accounts included in their editor profile. The data provided by the editor must be verified by the appropriate means and at all times PRNEWS.IO deems appropriate to ensure the quality and safety of its service.

Under no circumstances will PRNEWS.IO. be responsible for the veracity of the data provided by the publisher and reserve the right to cancel the publisher's account if this provides false data or does not verify in due time the ownership of the websites provided and social profiles.

On the necessary quality of the websites owned by the publisher

PRNEWS.IO may not accept websites or blogs owned by the publisher when these are considered by the quality team of PRNEWS.IO as:

  • Link farms: those pages that have a large number of outgoing links, whether contextual or not, and that could harm our advertisers, either through a penalty in search engines or with a transfer of LinkJuice far below what would be expected from the service provided by PRNEWS.IO.
  • Review farms: we understand those pages that are dedicated to selling reviews in large quantities to make your website profitable. PRNEWS.IO considers a blog or website a review farm when the ratio between sponsored articles and own articles is less than 1 to 10 (1 sponsored article for every 10 own articles).
  • Low quality: Those pages that do not meet the requirements of domain rank or minimum stylistic quality and optimization for the quality team of PRNEWS.IO.
  • Duplicate: Websites with content duplicate, partially copied, translated, or spun content will not be accepted in the Editor's profile. Likewise, websites created using the Wix or Tilda platforms, or containing advertising that interferes with smooth navigation will not be accepted. Given that this is the most common case, the company reserves the right to decline any other websites that it believes do not meet the minimum standards for inclusion on the platform.

On the execution, nature, conditions, and deadlines of the work entrusted to it

The publishers' services must be 100% original and exclusive for the work contracted by the advertiser. Likewise, the posts must be written by the editor, who assumes full ownership of the text and exempts PRNEWS.IO from any liability and the advertiser from the misuse of protected material.

The services provided by the publisher are PERMANENT (unless otherwise specified in the media outlet’s terms and conditions), and, therefore, content contracted during the life of the website may not be deleted. If the website is deleted within one year after the service is contracted with the advertiser, the amount the client pays will be deducted from their account. In case of the sale of the website, the post contracted must be notified to the new owner to maintain them, not being an excuse to buy and sell to delete them.

Publishers have a period of 2 business days to accept the order. Business days are defined as all days excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and official public holidays. If the publisher fails to accept the order within this period, PRNEWS.IO reserves the right to take appropriate action to ensure service continuity, including cancellation of the pending order.

The advertiser reserves the right to contact PRNEWS.IO support and request that the order be declined in case of delay. PRNEWS.IO will assess the situation and make the final decision regarding the order's status.

If any modifications to the published content are requested by the advertiser after the publication has been completed, and such modifications are not caused by any fault or error of the publisher, and the publisher has fulfilled all requirements in accordance with the originally agreed terms, the publisher has the right to decide whether to accept or decline the requested changes.

However, if the modifications are required due to the publisher's failure to comply with the agreed terms or due to unauthorized changes made by the publisher without prior approval from the advertiser, PRNEWS.IO reserves the right to take corrective actions in favor of the advertiser, which may include requiring the publisher to make the necessary changes or applying other appropriate measures.

Once the commissioned work has been carried out and has been reviewed and approved by the advertiser, the amount of the service will be added to the publisher's account, and the right to collect the agreed amount will be recognized. Approval by the advertiser will be limited to verifying that the mandate has been executed by the negotiated terms.

Article Writing Services

The editor exclusively cedes the rights of exploitation of the intellectual property sold to the advertiser, granting the same power to exploit the work to the exclusion of third parties, including the assignor himself, and empowers him to grant non-exclusive authorizations to third parties. Likewise, it confers legitimacy, independently of that of the assignor, to prosecute violations that affect the faculties assigned to it.

The editor, as guarantor of the authorship of the works, exonerates both the advertiser and PRNEWS.IO from all liability to third parties and consequently assumes all claims, including compensation for damages, which may be exercised against those mentioned above by third parties who could understand their intellectual property rights or industrial property infringed on the works subject to the assignment.

On possible incidents related to the work carried out

The following are the most common incidents recorded between publishers and Advertisers. In any case, and even if it is not expressly included, any anomaly must be compulsorily reported to the website to organize a solution. Any incident that involves the reimbursement to the advertiser of what has been paid will suppose a correlative decrease for that amount coming from the publisher's account.

Related to the disappearance of the post:

  • In case of a sale of the website, the new owner must be notified not to delete sponsored posts sold on the platform. The social mentions must remain for a minimum of 30 days published.
  • In case of website disappearance within one year of hiring the advertiser, the contract with the Publisher will be canceled and legal action will be taken to recover the subscriber.
  • In the event of erroneous deletion, the "website" will contact the publisher to restore the link. In the event of a refusal, it will be deducted from the balance in your wallet.

Change post URL:

  • The editor will be obliged to make a 301 redirection so that the post is available from PRNEWS.IO and the traffic is redirected, regardless of whether the URL change is motivated by a change in the domain address or in the post itself.
  • Change of link from "follow" to "no follow"
  • The "website" will contact the publisher to transform the link. In the event of a refusal, it will be deducted from the balance in your wallet.

Payouts

Amounts received from the Advertiser, less any commission due to PRNEWS.IO, shall be deemed payable to the Publisher and paid to the Publisher upon request.

Payments will be made considering the appropriate withholding taxes for each type of publisher and its tax regime. PRNEWS.IO is not responsible for non-compliance with the tax obligations of its publishers and will consider valid the data provided by the publisher as "TAX DATA".

In addition to the above, will only proceed to give the order for payment if there is an invoice issued for the service performed. If they are individuals and cannot issue an invoice, they will be issued a receipt for payment.

Payments will be made by Bank transfer (Wire transfer) or Payoneer.

Payments by bank transfer: The minimum credit to request payment by bank transfer will be 25 USD. The publisher will assume all the commissions that may result from the use of this system of payment to publishers.

Payments through the Payoneer system: The minimum credit to be able to request payment through Payoneer will be 5 USD.

Finally, a period of up to 5 working days may elapse between the payment request and the corresponding verifications and final payment by PRNEWS.IO.

On confidentiality

Finally, the publisher is bound to the strictest confidentiality on accepted, rejected or canceled orders. In cases where the publisher does not comply with this obligation, PRNEWS.IO reserves the right to cancel the account and take legal action to safeguard its interests and those of its clients.

On unfair practices

Under no circumstances may the publisher offer its services directly to the advertiser using bridging or any other technique. In the event of such a situation, PRNEWS.IO reserves the right to take appropriate legal action to safeguard their interests.

Indemnification

You shall indemnify PRNEWS.IO against any and all liability, claims, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) that PRNEWS.IO incurs or suffers as a result of any breach by you of these Terms or any third party claim arising as a result of any content.
