ContentHQ is not responsible for transactions, communications, services, products, availability or content occurring on external websites or platforms.
Visitors and advertisers should review the terms, privacy policies and other relevant information supplied by an external service before registering, interacting or transacting through that service.
The inclusion of an external link on ContentHQ does not constitute an endorsement, guarantee or warranty of the external website, platform or service.
- Affiliate and Referral Links
Some links displayed on ContentHQ may be affiliate or referral links.
Where an eligible person registers with, purchases from or otherwise interacts with an external platform through an affiliate or referral link, ContentHQ may receive a commission, referral payment, credit or other benefit from the external provider.
The use of an affiliate or referral link does not increase ContentHQ’s responsibility for the external platform and does not make ContentHQ a party to any agreement or transaction between the user and that platform.
An affiliate or referral relationship does not constitute a guarantee or endorsement of an external platform’s services, availability, performance or suitability.
Where appropriate, ContentHQ may identify areas of the website containing affiliate or referral links.
- Advertising Statistics and Analytics
ContentHQ may collect and provide advertisers with statistics relating to the visibility and performance of their profiles and advertising.
These statistics may include profile views, interactions with outbound links, clicks to external websites or platforms, and other advertising-performance information made available through the Creator Dashboard or elsewhere on ContentHQ.
ContentHQ may use link tracking or redirect mechanisms to record when a visitor follows a tracked outbound link.
Statistics are provided as informational advertising metrics and should not be treated as audited figures or guarantees of commercial performance.
Advertisers must not artificially generate, manipulate or inflate profile views, link clicks or other advertising statistics through bots, automated systems, repeated artificial activity or other deceptive methods.
ContentHQ may disregard, adjust or remove activity reasonably identified as artificial, fraudulent, automated or otherwise invalid when calculating advertising statistics.
ContentHQ does not guarantee any particular number of views, clicks, enquiries, registrations, customers, sales or other results from an advertising purchase.
- Advertising Visibility and Availability
Advertisers may be provided with controls that allow them to manage the visibility of their profile or advertisement.
Hiding or deactivating an advertisement may remove it from public advertising areas while retaining the advertiser’s profile or account information.
Advertising visibility may also change when an advertising period expires, is renewed or is otherwise changed in accordance with ContentHQ’s advertising arrangements.
ContentHQ does not guarantee continuous visibility, a particular position within listings or a particular level of traffic or engagement.
- Profile Review and Moderation
New creator profiles may be reviewed before being made publicly available to ensure compliance with ContentHQ’s rules and content standards.
Once a profile has been approved, creators may be permitted to update their information without repeating the complete initial approval process for every change.
ContentHQ nevertheless reserves the right to review profiles, advertisements, photographs, links and subsequent changes at any time.
ContentHQ may edit, reject, restrict, hide, suspend or remove content that breaches these rules, applicable law, relevant service-provider requirements or other ContentHQ policies.

External platforms accessed through the Creator Dashboard remain independent services and are responsible for their own registration requirements, eligibility criteria, payments, terms, policies and operation.
ContentHQ does not guarantee acceptance, earnings, availability or results from any external platform or opportunity displayed through the Creator Dashboard.
Some external links displayed within the Creator Dashboard may be affiliate or referral links as described in this policy.
