Terms of Service

Last updated: March 29, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Fill.md ("Fill," "we," "us"), an advertising and cross-promotion network operated as a service. By registering an app, integrating the Fill SDK, using the Fill MCP server, or accessing any Fill service (collectively, the "Services"), you ("Publisher," "you") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

You must be at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements to use the Services.

2. Description of the Services

Fill is a cross-promotion network for web applications. Publishers integrate the Fill SDK to display ads from other apps in the network and earn credits. Credits may be spent to promote the Publisher's own app across the network. The Services include:

  • API at api.fill.md for app registration, ad serving, impression/click tracking, and campaign management
  • SDK (@fill-md/sdk) for rendering ads in Publisher's applications
  • MCP server (@fill-md/mcp) for agent-native integration via Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools
  • Dashboard at fill.md/dashboard for viewing earnings and managing campaigns
  • Network directory at fill.md/network

3. Publisher Accounts

3.1 Registration creates an account associated with an API key. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your API key. Any activity under your API key is your responsibility.

3.2 You agree to provide accurate information during registration. Providing false information is grounds for immediate account termination.

3.3 You may register multiple apps. Each app receives its own API key and credit balance.

4. Credits System

4.1 Credit Types

  • Promo Credits: Awarded as a welcome bonus (1,000 credits) or purchased. Promo credits may only be spent on promotion campaigns. Promo credits are NOT redeemable for cash and have no monetary value.
  • Earned Credits: Earned by displaying ads in your app (1 credit per viewable impression, 5 credits per click). Earned credits may be spent on promotion campaigns OR, when cash-out functionality is available, redeemed for cash.

4.2 Credit Rates

  • 1 viewable impression served = 1 earned credit to publisher
  • 1 valid click = 5 earned credits to publisher
  • Cash-out rate (when available): 1,000 credits = $1.00 USD
  • Purchase rate (when available): $1.00 USD = 1,000 promo credits

4.3 Credit Adjustments

Fill reserves the right to adjust credit rates, modify the credit system, or suspend credit accumulation at any time with 30 days' notice. Credits already earned at the time of a rate change will not be retroactively adjusted.

4.4 No Cash Value

CREDITS ARE VIRTUAL ITEMS WITH NO INHERENT CASH VALUE. CREDITS DO NOT CONSTITUTE CURRENCY, PROPERTY, OR A STORED VALUE INSTRUMENT. CREDITS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE, ASSIGNABLE, OR REDEEMABLE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS. FILL MAY MODIFY, SUSPEND, OR DISCONTINUE THE CREDIT SYSTEM AT ANY TIME IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

5. Invalid Activity

5.1 Fill determines, in its sole discretion, what constitutes valid impressions, clicks, requests, traffic, and activity ("Valid Activity"). Invalid activity includes but is not limited to:

  • Automated or bot-generated impressions or clicks
  • Impressions or clicks from data center IP addresses
  • Self-clicking or incentivized clicking
  • Manipulating the credit system through automated means
  • Generating impressions through hidden, stacked, or non-viewable ad placements
  • Using pre-fetched or pre-rendered ad requests to inflate impression counts
  • Any activity that violates IAB/MRC measurement guidelines

5.2 Fill reserves the right to withhold, adjust, or offset any payments or credits based on: (i) activity Fill determines in its sole discretion to be invalid; (ii) suspected violation of these Terms; or (iii) amounts owed by Publisher to Fill.

5.3 To protect the integrity of our detection systems, Fill will not disclose specific details of invalid activity determinations.

5.4 Clawback: If Fill determines that Publisher has engaged in invalid activity, Publisher shall reimburse Fill for all losses associated with such violations, including credits or amounts previously awarded that arose from such activity.
