After joining the Ad Revenue Sharing Program, you can apply for Ad Display on each of your eligible series. Requirements for being eligible are:

① Over 40,000 Global Monthly Pageviews; AND

② Over 1,000 Total Subscribers

* Calculation of Global monthly Pageviews and Total Subscribers are based on the last day of the previous month.

When you join the Ad Revenue Sharing Program, you will be able to access the ‘AD SHARING’ tab on your profile.

Your payment will be posted to your account on a monthly basis and updated on the 21st day of the following month.

When you reach the minimum threshold of $100, you will receive a payment by the 15th day of the following month in $100 increments.

For Example:

● You have a previous balance of $20 in your Account as of June 1.

- Scenario 1:

You earn $70 in Net Ad Revenue during the month of June. This amount will update on your dashboard on July 21st. Your balance will then be $90 on July 21st.

(Previous balance $20 + June Net Ad Revenue of $70)

No payment will be made in July as your minimum did not reach $100.

The $90 will carry over to August.

- Scenario 2:

You earn $110 in Net Ad Revenue during the month of June. This amount will update on your dashboard on July 21st. Your balance will then be $130 on July 21st.

(Previous balance $20 + June Net Ad Revenue of $110).

You will be paid $100 at the end of July and your Account will have a remaining balance of $30 which will carry over to August.

You can turn off Ad Display for any of your series at any time by clicking on 'Cancel' next to your series title from the 'AD SHARING' tab of your account dashboard. You can also permanently end your participation in the Ad Revenue Sharing Program by opting out whenever you like. To opt out, click the 'Opt out' button at the bottom of the 'AD SHARING' page.

If you turn off Ad Display or opt yourself out of the program, you won’t receive payment for the balance that accrues after the date when you turned off Ad Display and/or opted out of the program.

If you opt out or delete your account, any balance in your account above $10 from the time you opt out will be paid to you as long as you maintain a valid PayPal ID or Patreon ID. If you select PayPal as your Payment Method, you must register your Payment Information to receive the accrued balance on your account. You can also choose not to receive the accrued balance on your account when you opt-out of the program.

If you change your mind, you can rejoin 2 months after the day you opt out. Once you’ve opted out, any records will be deleted completely and can’t be restored if you rejoin.

If you just turn off Ad Display without opting out of the program, the $100 payment threshold will still apply.

If we find that you’ve violated the Agreement or our Terms, we will notify you by email.

We may suspend your Participation in the Ad Revenue Sharing Program.

If your violation is severe enough, we may terminate your membership.

● Violation of Content Guidelines

If your series is inappropriate or violates any copyright law, your series or episode may be removed. If your series has been taken off the website, Ad Display will also stop. If severe enough, we may also restrict further uploading and/or cancel your membership in the Ad Revenue Sharing Program.

● Violations of Ad Display Terms of Service

If we find that you have violated any of our terms through actions such as invalid clicks, or other prohibited actions, we may cancel Ad Display on your series for two months or more. If the Ad Display on your series is cancelled, you will not receive any revenue gained during the cycle when your cancellation occurred.

● Suspension and Termination of Your Account

If we find that your content violates any of our guidelines, Terms of Service, or policies, we may suspend or permanently terminate your participation in the Ad Revenue Sharing Program and terminate your account.

Any balance you have in your account will be automatically forfeited and any series that has qualified for the Ad Revenue Sharing Program will have Ad Display immediately cancelled.

If you are suspended, you can apply to rejoin the Ad Revenue Sharing Program after 2 months from the start of your suspension.

If suspended or terminated, all your previous records relating to our Ad Revenue Sharing Program and payments will be completely deleted and cannot be restored.
