Advertising Guidelines

These Advertising Guidelines establish the standards all advertisers must follow to advertise on Black Wealth Exchange. Our platform is rooted in trust, transparency, and empowerment. By submitting an advertisement, you agree to these guidelines. Violations may result in ad removal, account suspension, loss of advertising privileges, and legal action where necessary.

1. Mission-Aligned Advertising

All advertisements must align with our core mission of uplifting Black communities through entrepreneurship, education, and ownership. We reserve the right to decline, remove, or block any ad that we determine to be inconsistent with our values, brand, or user safety. This includes ads promoting competitors or messaging that contradicts economic justice or equity.

2. Acceptable Content

Ads must be:
  • Clear, truthful, and not misleading or exaggerated
  • Relevant to the products or services advertised
  • Accurate in claims and legally compliant
  • Visually professional and appropriate for general audiences

3. Prohibited Content

The following content types are strictly prohibited in any form:
  • Hate speech, discriminatory, offensive, or politically incendiary material
  • Adult content, pornography, or sexually suggestive imagery
  • Weapons, drugs, illegal substances, or services in violation of local laws
  • Multi-level marketing (MLM), pyramid schemes, or get-rich-quick offers
  • Counterfeit goods, scam offers, or unverifiable medical/financial claims
  • False scarcity, fear-based tactics, or misleading countdowns
Violators will be permanently banned and may face legal claims for platform abuse or reputational harm.

4. Banner and Ad Design Requirements

Submitted ad banners and promotional graphics must:
  • Be high-quality, clear, and mobile-responsive
  • Match the sizing and format requirements found on the submission form
  • Exclude flashing effects, extreme color saturation, or overwhelming text
  • Use brand-safe language and proper grammar
We reserve the right to request edits or rejections based on design quality alone.

5. Review and Approval Process

All ad submissions undergo manual review for compliance. Approval may take 1–3 business days. We reserve full discretion to:
  • Approve, reject, or request modifications to any submission
  • Limit the visibility, duration, or placement of approved ads
  • Remove an ad at any time with or without explanation if a violation occurs or user complaints are received

6. Duration, Placement, and Fees

Advertising durations and placement tiers (e.g., homepage banners, featured listings, top sponsor placements) are selected during checkout. Availability is limited and secured only after payment. All payments are processed securely via Stripe. Ad placement does not imply endorsement by Black Wealth Exchange.

7. Refunds, Removals, and Violations

  • No refunds will be issued for ads that are removed due to violations of these guidelines.
  • Refunds for canceled ads are available only before publication and subject to a 10% processing fee.
  • Any attempt to defraud, mislead, or harm the platform through advertising will result in immediate removal, forfeiture of funds, legal reporting, and potential civil action.

8. Enforcement and Legal Rights

We reserve the right to:
  • Reject or ban advertisers who abuse the system, mislead users, or harm the platform
  • Pursue legal damages for defamation, impersonation, fraud, or attempts to deceive users or damage the platform’s reputation
  • Report any unlawful ads or advertiser behavior to authorities, regulatory bodies, or partner networks
Our mission is non-negotiable, and we will aggressively defend it.
