Fio Advertiser Terms and Conditions
These Advertiser Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of Fio's advertising services. By submitting advertising content to Fio, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Last updated October 2, 2026.
1. Content Rights and Ownership
1.1 Content Ownership
You represent and warrant that you own all rights to the submitted audio content or have obtained proper licensing for all music, sound effects, voiceovers, and other audio elements used in your advertisement. You are solely responsible for ensuring all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions are secured. If your advertisement uses AI-generated or synthetic voices, you must have the rights to use them, and they must not imitate any real person without that person's written consent.
1.2 Grant of Rights
By submitting advertising content, you grant Fio a non-exclusive, worldwide license to broadcast, stream, distribute, and display your audio advertisement across the Fio platform and associated marketing channels during the agreed campaign period. This license includes the right to reproduce, transmit, and make your advertisement available to Fio users.
2. Catholic Values and Community Standards
2.1 Values Alignment
You certify that your business and submitted advertisement align with Catholic teachings and values. Your content must not promote products, services, or ideologies contrary to Catholic doctrine or moral teaching.
2.2 Editorial Control
Fio reserves the absolute right to reject, remove, or refuse any advertisement that does not meet our Catholic values standards, community guidelines, or platform policies. This determination is made at Fio's sole discretion.
2.3 Content Prohibited
Advertisements may not contain adult or mature content inappropriate for families, political partisan messaging, content promoting non-Catholic religious practices, misleading or deceptive claims, profanity, or inappropriate language.
2.4 No Implied Endorsement
Advertisements may not state or imply that they are endorsed by Fio, any diocese, religious order, or the Catholic Church, or use the name or likeness of any clergy or religious without their written consent.
3. Technical and Quality Standards
3.1 Technical Compliance
All submitted audio must meet Fio's technical specifications including file format (MP3 or WAV), sample rate (44.1 kHz minimum), bit rate (128 kbps minimum), proper loudness levels (-16 LUFS), and duration requirements.
3.2 Content Accuracy
You warrant that all claims made in your advertisement are truthful, substantiated, and comply with applicable advertising laws and regulations. Misleading, deceptive, or false advertising is strictly prohibited.
3.3 Quality Standards
Fio may edit, reject, or request modifications to advertisements that do not meet our quality standards, technical requirements, or community guidelines.
4. Campaign Terms and Payment
4.1 Promotional Period and Fees
Fio is currently offering advertising services during a promotional period ("Promotional Period"). No fees are payable for advertising services provided during the Promotional Period.
The Promotional Period continues until Fio gives you written notice that fees will apply. That notice will include the applicable rate card and the date fees take effect, which will be at least thirty (30) days after the date of the notice. Fees apply only to advertising services delivered on or after that effective date. No fees will be charged retroactively for services delivered during the Promotional Period.
If you do not wish to continue on paid terms, you may cancel any scheduled campaigns before the effective date without charge. Once fees take effect, you agree to pay according to the rate card and payment terms provided in your notice or campaign proposal.
Written notice under this section may be delivered by email to the address associated with your advertiser account.
4.2 Campaign Modifications
Changes or cancellations to scheduled campaigns must be submitted in writing at least 48 hours before the scheduled start date. After the Promotional Period ends, late cancellations may be charged as set out in your rate card.
4.3 Refunds
Where fees have been paid, refunds are not available for completed advertising services unless Fio fails to deliver the agreed service. Campaign performance does not constitute grounds for a refund.
5. Platform Guidelines and Compliance
5.1 Community Guidelines
You agree to comply with Fio's Community Guidelines and acknowledge that violations may result in content removal, campaign termination, or account suspension.
5.2 Approval Process
Submission of advertising content does not guarantee acceptance. All advertisements are subject to Fio's approval process and editorial standards.
5.3 Termination
Either party may end the advertising relationship at any time by written notice. Fio may suspend or remove any advertisement immediately if it breaches these Terms.
6. Legal Terms and Liability
6.1 Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Fio, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or relating to your submitted advertisement content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party rights.
6.2 Limitation of Liability
