Official Terms and Conditions

The competition is organized by Admitad International FZ-LLC, a company incorporated in the United Arab Emirates (the "Organizer").

Baseline period: August 1 – August 16, 2026

Performance period: August 17 – September 7, 2026

Results announcement: December 1, 2026, following order reconciliation, validation and fraud review.

The competition is open to performance publishers registered in the Admitad network who send traffic to the advertisers featured on the official Back to School Marathon landing page during the performance period.

Participants are divided into two cohorts based on activity on participating offers during the baseline period:

• Pro: established publishers with existing approved-order volume on participating marathon offers during the baseline period.
• Rising Stars: new or growing publishers with limited or no prior approved-order volume on participating marathon offers during the baseline period.

The classification threshold is determined by the Organizer based on baseline activity and will not be changed after the performance period has commenced.

Only activity on offers featured on the official Back to School Marathon landing page is counted.

Participation is available only to publishers in good standing within the Admitad network who comply with the applicable Admitad Publisher Terms and Conditions, including the UAE Publisher Terms available at admitad.com/terms-for-publishers-uae.

In case of any conflict between these competition Terms and Conditions and the applicable Admitad Publisher Terms, the Admitad Publisher Terms shall prevail with respect to network rules, traffic quality requirements, and compliance obligations.

Pro

Winners are determined based on the highest percentage growth in approved orders on participating marathon offers during the performance period (August 17 – September 7, 2026) compared to the baseline period.

Growth % = (Marathon approved orders − Baseline approved orders) / Baseline approved orders × 100

Only approved and validated actions are included. Ranking is based strictly on relative growth.

Rising Stars

Winners are determined based on the highest total number of approved orders on participating marathon offers generated during the performance period.

Baseline data is used only for cohort classification. Ranking in this cohort is based on absolute approved volume between August 17 and September 7, 2026.

Final rankings in both cohorts are subject to manual validation by the Organizer based on objective performance data, fraud prevention checks, traffic quality review, and compliance with Admitad network rules. Any adjustments will be made acting reasonably, in good faith, and in line with the principles of fair competition.

The total prize pool is $5,500, distributed across two cohorts as follows.

Pro

• 1st Place: $2,000
• 2nd Place: $1,000
• 3rd Place: $500

Rising Stars

• 1st Place: $1,000
• 2nd Place: $700
• 3rd Place: $300

Prizes are paid in US dollars to the publisher's Admitad account balance or via another payout method agreed with the Organizer. Prizes are non-transferable. A participant may win in one cohort only.

The Organizer reserves the right to disqualify any participant in case of fraudulent or low-quality traffic, including but not limited to:

• Cookie stuffing
• Brand bidding or contextual brand violations
• Self-dealing
• Artificial traffic manipulation
• Any breach of Admitad network rules

Disqualification may occur upon sufficient evidence.

The Organizer's decisions regarding eligibility, validation, and ranking shall be final, provided such decisions are made reasonably, in good faith, and based on available performance and compliance data.

Only fully approved and validated actions at the time of final review will be considered.

The Organizer reserves the right to audit, recalculate, and adjust results if post-validation corrections, reversals, or fraud detection impact rankings.

The Organizer reserves the right to amend, suspend, or terminate the competition if necessary to protect fairness and integrity.
