Terms of Service
Last updated 10 August 2026
In short: You buy a template, we render an ad with your brand in it. You own what you make and you are responsible for running it legally. We are a tool, not your ad agency.
1.Who you are dealing with
The store is operated under the name AdCartel by an independent developer in the State of Illinois, United States. In this document “we” and “us” mean AdCartel, and “you” means whoever is using the store.
AdCartel is a trading name, not a registered company, and it is one person rather than a team. The operator is personally the other party to this agreement. Nothing on the store is sold today, which is why no legal name or postal address is published. Both will appear here before anything is ever charged.
By creating an account or using the store you accept these terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you are confirming you have authority to bind it.
2.What the service actually is
We run a marketplace of ad formats. Creators list template recipes. You buy one, give us your brand details, and we produce an ad with your details inside that format.
Some things worth stating plainly, because they set your expectations:
- We do not write your ads for you, manage your campaigns, or act as your agency.
- Rendering runs on third-party AI models. Output varies and is not guaranteed to be identical between runs.
- Nothing on this store guarantees any advertising result. Performance figures describe past campaigns by other brands, not a promise about yours.
- Features described as not yet live are exactly that. Do not buy on the assumption they will ship.
3.Your account
Keep your password to yourself and tell us promptly if you think someone else has it. You are responsible for what happens under your account. You must be old enough to enter a contract where you live, and at least 18.
4.Who owns what
- Your brand material stays yours. Your name, logo, product images and copy remain your property. You give us permission to use them only to produce your ads and run the service.
- The finished ad is yours to use commercially, once you have paid for the template it came from.
- The template itself is not yours. Buying it licenses you to generate ads from it. You may not resell, relist or redistribute the template, or pass it to another business to use.
- The store, the software and the performance data remain ours.
5.Ads made with AI, and your duty to disclose
Ads produced here are generated or materially altered by AI. Advertising platforms increasingly require that to be disclosed, and some categories carry specific rules. Meta, for example, applies disclosure requirements to certain AI-generated or digitally altered advertising, and enforcement lands on the advertiser rather than the tool.
Working out what applies to your ad, in your category, in your country, and labelling it accordingly, is your responsibility and not ours. The same goes for every other rule that governs your advertising: platform policies, consumer protection law, advertising standards, and any sector rules covering health, finance, alcohol, gambling or anything else you sell.
What you may not use the store for is set out in the Acceptable Use policy, which forms part of these terms.
6.Money
Template prices are shown on each listing. Payments are not live yet, so no charge can currently be taken. When they are, we will state the payment processor, the currency, and when tax is added, before you are asked to pay.
Because a template is delivered digitally and immediately, refunds will be limited once you have generated an ad from it. If you hold consumer rights that override that, those rights win.
7.Third-party services we depend on
Rendering runs on Higgsfield. Accounts and data are stored with Supabase. The site is hosted by Vercel. Reference ads are embedded from YouTube and load only once you press play. Those companies have their own terms, and outages or changes on their side can affect what we can offer.
Brand names and advertisements shown as examples belong to their owners. We reference them to illustrate ad formats. It does not imply any partnership with or endorsement by them.
8.What we do not promise
The service is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, that rendering will always succeed, or that any ad will perform.
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost profit, lost revenue, wasted ad spend, or loss of data, and our total liability to you is capped at what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
9.Ending it
You can stop using the store and delete your account whenever you like, from your account page. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or the Acceptable Use policy, and we will tell you why unless we are legally barred from doing so.
10.Changes, law, and disputes
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you we will give notice before it takes effect, and continuing to use the store after that counts as accepting it.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to conflict of law rules, and disputes go to the state and federal courts located in Illinois. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in, and nothing here removes rights you cannot lawfully waive.
