Terms of Service Sample of a Paid to Click Site

Please note: This is not the Terms of Service of this site. This is a sample/ a prototype of a typical Paid to Click site. The purpose of this to explain contents of a ToS agreement of a PTC site only.

This Terms of Service sample of a Paid to Click site is created to outline the important facts of a PTC ToS. It's been created as a very strict ToS agreement which is very hard to escape. You may find similar ToS agreements in many PTC sites. They might be not contained every rules we have listed here or they might have extra/different rules. However I suggest you to read it carefully. So you can take precautions before register or while using a PTC site.

I have explain these rules in here: Paid To Click Site Terms of Service Review- A Must Read

Read it too!

I have highlighted this sample ToS in 4 colors.

These are common and typical rules of most PTC sites.

These are not common. You can't see them very often.

Now these are the tricky ones. May be they are common may be not. However you need to read them carefully. Read your site's ToS and seek for these ones or ones similar to them. Because violating them may lead to account termination/ suspension and/or money loose.

You need to read and follow them before you register and enter your personal details. Or before you do a investment.

But remember: You won't see any highlishing in a original ToS. You need to find them yourself.
