Advertising terms

Who sells ads

These terms cover every paid ad on DIVEOPS PRO: Lobby ads and the placements listed under "Where and how ads appear".

If you pay with Stripe, which is used outside Asia, your ad is sold and billed by Rundzee, LLC, a Washington (USA) limited liability company, 14900 Interurban Ave S, Ste 271, Tukwila, WA 98168-4654, USA.

If you pay in the Philippines or elsewhere in Asia through a local payment provider (named at checkout), your ad is sold and billed by Poseidon Distribution OPC, a company registered in the Philippines. The seller is named at checkout and on your receipt.

Automatic checks and moderation

Before you pay, every ad passes automatic checks: image type, size and dimensions; an https link that is not on our blocklist; and text checks for banned words and contact or payment scams. An ad that fails a check is refused at once with the reason, and nothing is charged.

An ad that passes is published as soon as the payment is confirmed (at once when the package is free or the ad is covered by an ad credit). Anyone signed in can report an ad. We may pause or remove an ad at any time if it breaks these terms, if we receive a credible complaint, or if the law requires it.

Content rules

Ads must be lawful, truthful and not misleading, and must link to a working https page of the advertiser.

No claims about diving safety, decompression, fitness to dive or any medical or health outcome. No statements that a product or service is approved, certified or endorsed by any authority or industry body unless you can prove it.

No impersonation of another person, company or of DIVEOPS PRO. You must own or be licensed to use every image, logo, name and trademark in the ad.

No adult content, gambling, weapons, tobacco or vaping, illegal products or services, hate, harassment or political campaigning.

Where and how ads appear

Every ad is clearly labelled Sponsored (featured offerings are labelled Featured). You can buy these placements: a Lobby ad (website and apps); a banner at the top of the dive market (up to 3, rotating; it may play a muted video of up to 6 seconds); a "presented by" sponsor strip on one section (scuba, technical, commercial, gear, schools or the home page; one sponsor per section); a banner between the rows of a section page (up to 4, rotating); a logo in the sponsor strip of the home page (up to 8); and a featured offering, which pins one of your own published marketplace offerings first in its section (up to 6 per section and country).

Ads are never shown on safety-critical or payment screens: dive logging, emergency information, the supervisor console, chamber records, checkout and payment pages, or legal pages.

Slots are limited. When a placement is full you are told the next free start date and nothing is charged. An unpaid checkout holds its slot for 24 hours.

A featured offering shows only while the offering is published. If you pause, unpublish or delete it, or we remove it under the marketplace rules, the placement stops showing for the rest of its period.

Videos play without sound and only after the page has loaded, never for visitors who ask their device for reduced motion or data saving; they then see the still image.

We decide the order and the number of ads shown. Ads can be limited to the countries you choose. We do not count which ads people see or click, and we place no advertising cookies, pixels or identifiers.

Duration, refunds and no guarantee

The duration of your package starts when your payment is confirmed (or when the ad is published from a free package or an ad credit), and the ad stops by itself at the end of it.

Monthly renewal: a 30-day slot of any placement paid by card (Stripe) renews automatically every month at the price shown at checkout until you cancel, unless you untick "Renew automatically every month" before paying. Each renewal extends the ad by one more month. You can cancel at any time in Billing (Membership page); the ad then runs to the end of the month already paid and does not renew. Packages of other lengths (such as a 7-day featured offering), and payments through a local provider in Asia, are paid once and do not renew.

If we remove your ad because of a mistake on our side, we refund the unused part. Other refunds are at our discretion.

We do not guarantee any number of views, clicks, leads or sales.
