Advertiser Terms
Last updated May 30, 2026
These terms apply when you buy advertising on LocalSchoolSports. You accept them at checkout.
Plans & billing
- You choose areas (Global, County, or City) and a term (monthly or annual). Annual saves 10% and is paid up front.
- Billing is handled by Stripe and starts at checkout. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
- Adding areas mid-term is prorated and charged immediately; removing areas applies a prorated credit to your next invoice.
Review & placement
- Every creative is reviewed before it goes live to keep it appropriate for a high-school audience. We may decline ads with a reason; you can fix and resubmit.
- Standard ads rotate fairly within the areas you bought. Exact share of impressions varies with how many advertisers share an area.
- No ads for alcohol, tobacco, vaping, gambling, or anything unsuitable for students.
Payments & failed charges
If a payment fails, your ad keeps running while Stripe retries (about two weeks). If it can't be collected, the ad pauses until payment is resolved, then reactivates automatically.
Cancellation
You can cancel anytime. Your ad runs through the end of your current paid period, then stops. No mid-term refunds.
Reporting
We provide impression and click reporting in your dashboard. Figures are good-faith estimates from our analytics.
