Self-Serve Promotional Placement Agreement

Last Updated: April 7, 2026

1. Parties and Agreement

This Self-Serve Promotional Placement Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between Mission Based Media LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company doing business as HealthPodcast.org, operating Health Podcast Library ("HPL," "we," "us," or "our"), and the individual or entity completing the self-serve booking form ("Advertiser," "you," or "your"). The effective date of this Agreement is the date on which Advertiser submits payment via the self-serve booking tool ("Booking Date").

By submitting payment for a Promotional Placement, Advertiser agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in full, and confirms that they have read and agree to the Health Podcast Library Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, both of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

2. Definitions

  1. "Promotional Placement" means any paid placement of content on Health Podcast Library properties, including podcast show promotion, episode promotion, and display advertising units (including PNG, JPG, and GIF formats), as specified in the applicable Campaign Order.
  2. "Campaign Order" means the specific details of a purchased Promotional Placement, including placement type, ad unit, duration, pricing, and any targeting parameters, as generated by the self-serve booking tool at the time of purchase.
  3. "Promotional Content" means all materials submitted by Advertiser in connection with a Promotional Placement, including but not limited to images, text, URLs, descriptions, cover art, logos, and any linked destination content.
  4. "Platform" means the Health Podcast Library website, subdomains, and associated digital properties owned and operated by Mission Based Media LLC.
  5. "Podcast Show Promotion" means a Promotional Placement that displays a podcast show within the Health Podcast Library directory in an elevated or featured position.
  6. "Episode Promotion" means a Promotional Placement that displays a specific podcast episode in an elevated or featured position on the Platform.
  7. "Display Advertising" means a Promotional Placement consisting of a visual ad unit (PNG, JPG, or GIF) served on pages of the Platform, which may link to a destination URL on or off the Platform.

3. Campaign Orders and Placement Details

  1. Each Promotional Placement is governed by this Agreement and the applicable Campaign Order. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and a Campaign Order, this Agreement controls.
  2. HPL reserves the right to offer multiple placement types, formats, and durations. Specific details — including ad unit dimensions, placement location, run dates, and pricing — are set forth in the Campaign Order.
  3. Performance metrics for Promotional Placements are not guaranteed. HPL does not warrant any specific number of impressions, clicks, listens, subscriptions, downloads, or any other outcome resulting from a Promotional Placement. Estimated metrics, where displayed, are for reference only and are subject to change.

4. Advertiser Obligations and Representations

  1. Accuracy of Information. Advertiser represents and warrants that all information provided in connection with a Promotional Placement — including show descriptions, episode details, destination URLs, business information, and Promotional Content — is true, accurate, and not misleading in any respect. Advertiser will promptly notify HPL if any such information becomes inaccurate.
  2. Third-Party Episode Promotion. If Advertiser is purchasing Episode Promotion for an episode in which Advertiser appeared as a guest, contributor, or subject — but which Advertiser did not produce or own — Advertiser represents and warrants that they have the right, authorization, or consent to promote that content, and Advertiser agrees to indemnify HPL against any claim arising from that representation being false.
  3. Intellectual Property. Advertiser represents and warrants that it owns or has obtained all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions for all Promotional Content submitted to HPL, and that use of such content does not infringe upon any third party’s intellectual property, publicity, or privacy rights.
  4. Health Content Standards. Advertiser represents and warrants that all Promotional Content and any content to which a Promotional Placement links does not contain false, misleading, unsubstantiated, or anti-scientific health claims; does not promote treatments, products, or services in a manner inconsistent with established clinical or scientific consensus; does not violate any applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations governing health claims, advertising, or consumer protection; and is consistent with HPL’s published credibility standards, as updated from time to time.
  5. Compliance with Laws. Advertiser is solely responsible for ensuring that all Promotional Content and associated campaigns comply with applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to FTC disclosure requirements, FDA regulations governing health claims, HIPAA where applicable, and any applicable pharmaceutical advertising standards.

5. Permitted Content

  1. General Standards. All Promotional Content must be appropriate for a general professional audience. HPL will not accept Promotional Placements that are profane, explicit, suggestive, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate in the context of a credible health information platform.
  2. Prohibited Categories. HPL will not accept Promotional Placements for content, products, services, or entities primarily or frequently associated with any of the following:
    • Health misinformation, anti-scientific claims, or content that contradicts established medical or scientific consensus
    • Investment advice, financial instruments, cryptocurrency, NFTs, debt management, or gambling
    • Weapons, hunting, or firearms
    • Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, or other controlled substances (recreational or otherwise), except where the promoted content is a credible, evidence-based podcast addressing substance use from a clinical or public health perspective
    • Content that is illegal in the United States or the state of Delaware
    • Extreme, highly divisive, or partisan political content
    • Content that is violent, dangerous, racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-Semitic, or otherwise hateful or discriminatory
    • Sexual content or content of a suggestive nature
    • Multi-level marketing, pyramid schemes, or predatory financial products
    • Any other content that HPL determines, at its sole discretion, to be inconsistent with the credibility, editorial standards, or mission of Health Podcast Library
  3. Discretion Reserved. The categories above are not exhaustive. HPL reserves the right to make judgment calls regarding permitted content as circumstances evolve. HPL will exercise this discretion consistently and in good faith, but is not obligated to explain rejection decisions beyond confirming that content does not meet platform standards.

6. Review, Approval, and Editorial Rights

  1. All Promotional Placements are subject to review and approval by HPL before going live. Submission of payment does not constitute approval.
  2. HPL will make reasonable efforts to complete its review within five (5) business days of receiving complete Promotional Content. HPL will notify Advertiser by email upon approval or rejection.
  3. HPL reserves the right to reject any Promotional Placement for any reason, including but not limited to content standards violations, credibility concerns, health misinformation, billing issues, or technical incompatibility.
  4. HPL reserves the right to make minor technical or formatting edits to Promotional Content — such as resizing images or adjusting display properties — to ensure compatibility with the Platform. HPL will not make substantive edits to Advertiser’s content without prior consent.
  5. HPL reserves the right to remove or suspend an active Promotional Placement if HPL determines, at its sole discretion, that the placement or the content it promotes no longer meets platform standards, including situations where promoted content is found to contain health misinformation after the placement has been approved and launched.
  6. Promotional placement on Health Podcast Library does not constitute an editorial endorsement of any show, episode, product, service, company, or individual. HPL’s credibility standards apply to Library membership and editorial content; paid Promotional Placements are commercial in nature.

7. Payment

  1. All Promotional Placements are prepaid. Payment is due at the time of booking via the self-serve tool. Campaigns will not be activated until payment is confirmed.
  2. Pricing for Promotional Placements is set forth at the time of booking and reflected in the Campaign Order. HPL reserves the right to adjust pricing for future campaigns at any time.
  3. Advertiser is responsible for all applicable taxes arising from this Agreement, except for taxes based on HPL’s net income.
  4. HPL accepts payment by credit card through its third-party payment processor. Advertiser will receive an email receipt upon payment confirmation.

8. Refunds and Cancellations

  1. Full refund: If HPL rejects a Promotional Placement before it goes live, Advertiser will receive a full refund of the amount paid for that placement.
  2. Pro-rated refund: If HPL removes an active Promotional Placement mid-run for platform integrity reasons under Section 6.5, Advertiser will receive a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of the purchased duration.
  3. No refund: Once a Promotional Placement has run in full, no refund will be issued. If Advertiser requests cancellation after HPL has approved a placement but before it has run, no refund will be issued.
  4. Advertiser-initiated cancellations are not permitted after HPL approval. If Advertiser believes there is an error in their Campaign Order, Advertiser must contact HPL prior to approval.

9. Confidentiality

The specific terms of any Campaign Order, including pricing and placement details, are confidential. Neither party shall disclose such terms to third parties without the other party’s prior written consent, except as required by law.

10. Indemnification

Advertiser agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Mission Based Media LLC, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and successors (collectively, "HPL Parties") from and against any and all third-party claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:

  • Advertiser’s actual or alleged breach of this Agreement
  • Any Promotional Content submitted by Advertiser
  • Advertiser’s representation that it has the right to promote third-party content, where such representation is false
  • Any claim that Promotional Content infringes the intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights of a third party
  • Any health claim made in Promotional Content that is false, misleading, or unsubstantiated
  • Advertiser’s failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations

11. Limitation of Liability

  1. HPL’s total aggregate liability to Advertiser under this Agreement, for any cause and regardless of the form of action, will not exceed the total amount paid by Advertiser for the specific Promotional Placement giving rise to the claim.
  2. In no event will HPL be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to lost profits, lost revenue, or loss of business opportunity, even if HPL has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
  3. HPL is not responsible for service interruptions caused by third-party infrastructure, internet connectivity failures, or events beyond HPL’s reasonable control.

12. Term and Termination

  1. This Agreement becomes effective on the date payment is submitted and remains in effect for the duration of the applicable Campaign Order, unless terminated earlier.
  2. HPL may terminate this Agreement and remove any active Promotional Placement immediately upon written notice if Advertiser materially breaches any provision of this Agreement.
  3. HPL may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason upon written notice. In such case, Advertiser will receive a pro-rated refund for any unused portion of a running Promotional Placement.
  4. Sections 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

13. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

  1. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
  2. Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, before a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in Wilmington, Delaware, or via remote proceedings if agreed by both parties. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party will bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees in arbitration, provided that the arbitrator may allocate costs and fees at their discretion as part of the award.
  3. Class Action Waiver. Advertiser agrees that any arbitration or legal proceeding will be conducted solely on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. Advertiser waives the right to participate in any class action proceeding against HPL.
  4. Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the arbitration requirement, either party may seek emergency injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in Delaware to prevent irreparable harm, pending resolution of a dispute through arbitration.

14. General Provisions

  1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the applicable Campaign Order, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior understandings, communications, and agreements, written or oral.
  2. Amendment. HPL may update these terms from time to time. The terms in effect at the time of a Campaign Order submission govern that Campaign Order. Material changes will be posted on the Platform.
  3. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
  4. No Waiver. Failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that provision.
  5. No Partnership. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between the parties.
  6. Assignment. Advertiser may not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder without HPL’s prior written consent. HPL may assign this Agreement to any successor entity or in connection with a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of HPL’s business.
  7. Notices. Notices under this Agreement will be delivered by email. Notices to HPL should be sent to the contact address listed on the Health Podcast Library website. Notices to Advertiser will be sent to the email address provided at the time of booking.
  8. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and does not confer any rights on any third party.
