Ads & Pixels

Draft — pending legal review. These terms describe how Ads and Pixels currently operates but have not yet been reviewed by counsel. They will be updated, and the "Last updated" date below will change when they are. Questions in the meantime: [email protected].

Last updated: September 25, 2026 · Entity: Houston IT Developers LLC, Houston, Texas

§1

Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of Ads and Pixels, provided by Houston IT Developers LLC ("we," "us," "our"). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms on behalf of yourself and, if you're using it for an organization, on behalf of that organization. If you don't agree, don't use the service.

§2

What the service is

Ads and Pixels is a platform for building, launching, reporting on and optimizing advertising campaigns across connected networks (currently Meta, Google, Microsoft, TikTok and Snap, with more added over time), plus the Audience Vault (a first-party data store), the AI Optimizer, the Results Map reporting, and the Local Screens product for businesses hosting digital signage. Which features and platforms are available depends on your plan; current plans are described on Pricing.

§3

Your account

You're responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for keeping your login credentials secure (including enabling the two-factor authentication described in our Security page, which is required on agency and reseller tiers), and for all activity under your account, including actions taken by users you've added with a role. You must be legally able to enter into a contract to create an account, and you represent that you have authority to connect any advertising accounts you link.

§4

Connected advertising platforms

When you connect Meta, Google, Microsoft, TikTok, Snap or another network, you remain subject to that network's own terms of service and advertising policies — we don't control, and aren't responsible for, decisions those platforms make about your ad accounts, including suspensions, disapprovals or policy enforcement. Our pre-launch policy check flags likely issues before submission, but it's a check, not a guarantee any platform will approve a given ad. Where we act as your agency service provider with a disclosed management fee, that fee is disclosed in writing before your first charge and on every invoice, as each network's third-party advertiser policy requires.

§5

The AI Optimizer

The AI Optimizer analyzes your campaign data and proposes changes — it does not have unattended write access to your ad accounts. Depending on the autonomy level you choose for a client, some proposed changes (budget moves within a bounded range, pausing a clear loser) can be applied automatically within hard limits enforced in code (maximum percentage change per step, minimum time between changes, a maximum share of budget moved per week); anything beyond those limits, and any new campaign, new audience, published creative or bid-strategy change, always requires a human approval. The AI Optimizer explains its reasoning in plain language and every action it takes can be undone. We don't guarantee any specific performance outcome from using it — see "Disclaimers" below.

§6

MCP, API and AI assistant access

If you connect an AI assistant (through Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client) or use our REST API, you choose which of your clients and accounts it can access, and at what scope. Write actions proposed through the MCP server or API go into the same approval queue as changes proposed inside the app, and approving a change is never something an AI assistant is permitted to do on its own — only a human with the appropriate role in the app can approve it. You're responsible for the assistants and API keys you authorize and for revoking access you no longer want active.

§7

Billing and cancellation

Subscription plans are billed on the schedule shown at signup (typically monthly), month-to-month with no annual lock-in, and you can cancel at any time from inside the app in one click, effective immediately: you're billed only for the days you used in that billing period, prorated to the day, and nothing is charged after your cancellation date, as described on Pricing. Usage-based charges (AI credits, SEO data calls, additional vault events, SMS, and similar) draw from a prepaid usage wallet for our own services and are billed as used; this wallet never holds or disburses your advertising spend to a network on your behalf — you pay platforms like Meta and Google directly with your own payment method, unless you've separately agreed to a disclosed management-fee or agency-billing arrangement with us. Where an agency-billing arrangement is in place, it's governed by its own written terms in addition to these.

§8

Local Screens and payouts

If you host a screen and open unsold time to advertisers, ad revenue is collected from advertisers and your share is paid to you through Stripe Connect, on the schedule described in your Local Screens plan, after identity verification required to set up payouts. Advertisers buying screen time are subject to the category and approval rules the host and Ads and Pixels set for that screen; nothing runs on a screen without the host's own approval where the host has opted into requiring one.

§9

Acceptable use

You won't use Ads and Pixels to violate any law, to run advertising you don't have the right to run (for a business, product, candidate or cause you're not authorized to represent), to attempt to access another customer's account or data, to circumvent the approval controls on AI-proposed changes, or to interfere with the service's operation. Political and issue advertising through Ads and Pixels is subject to the additional disclosure, disclaimer and record-keeping rules described where that feature is offered, and to each network's own political-advertising policy.

§10

Your data and account ownership

Your Audience Vault data is yours. Full detail on ownership, portability, export and deletion is in our Data Processing Agreement, which is incorporated into these terms by reference. Ownership of the advertising accounts you connect — client-owned, agency-owned or hybrid — follows the control model you choose per client inside the app; we don't take ownership of any ad account by virtue of connecting it.

§11

Intellectual property

Ads and Pixels, including its software, design, the AI Optimizer's methodology and the Results Map, is owned by Houston IT Developers LLC and licensed to you for use under these terms, not sold. You retain ownership of your own content, creative assets and data. White-label reseller customers may use their own branding on the product as described in their plan, but don't acquire ownership of the underlying platform.

§12

Disclaimers

Ads and Pixels is provided "as is." We don't guarantee that any campaign, the AI Optimizer's suggestions, or any advertising platform's approval or performance will produce any particular result — advertising outcomes depend on factors well outside our control, including each network's own algorithms, market conditions and policy decisions. Reported numbers reflect our attribution methodology, explained on our platform pages, and may differ from a given network's own dashboard for reasons we disclose rather than hide.

§13

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Houston IT Developers LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits or lost advertising spend, arising from your use of Ads and Pixels, even if advised of the possibility. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

§14

Termination

You can cancel at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these terms, poses a security risk, or is required to be suspended by a connected platform's own enforcement action reaching us. On termination, you retain the data-export and deletion rights described in our Data Processing Agreement.

§15

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and any dispute not otherwise resolved will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas.

§16

Changes to these terms

We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when these terms change, and for material changes, we'll take reasonable steps to notify active customers before they take effect.

A little more clarity

Frequently asked questions

Real answers before you make a decision.

Is this the final Terms of Service?

No — it's marked "Draft — pending legal review." It describes how the service currently operates, but hasn't been reviewed by counsel yet.

Can the AI Optimizer spend my budget without my approval?

Only within hard limits you've explicitly enabled for a client (bounded budget moves, pausing clear losers) — new campaigns, new audiences, creative and bid-strategy changes always require a human approval, and approving is never something an AI assistant can do on its own.

Is there an annual contract?

No — plans are month-to-month by default, and you can cancel any time from inside the app.

Who owns my ad accounts if I stop using Ads and Pixels?

Whoever the control model you chose says owns them — client-owned, agency-owned or hybrid, set per client. Connecting a platform through Ads and Pixels never transfers ownership to us.

Does Ads and Pixels ever hold my advertising budget?

No, not under the standard billing model — you pay platforms like Meta and Google directly. A disclosed management-fee or agency-billing arrangement, if you have one, is governed by its own separate written terms.
