Rules for posting ads
Requirements for the placement and content of ads
1. The ad must be legal
Do not post offers, conditions or information in advertisements that violate the laws of the Russian Federation, as well as the state in which the advertised product / service is located, or the rights of third parties, or that contribute to such violations.
You have the right to post ads only about those goods, services, vacancies, objects and other offers (hereinafter referred to as "goods") in respect of which you have all the necessary rights, licenses, registrations, permits, certificates, etc.
Before placing an ad, you must ensure that all of its elements are legal (including photos, videos, links to third-party sites, where applicable, etc.). You will be liable for any violations of the law or the rights of third parties you have made.
2. The information in the ad must be true and complete
We consider it a gross violation of Amigo's rules to post any information in an ad that may be misleading about your product or the terms of your offer.
This also means that the ad must contain a valid phone number to contact you.
If your proposal is required by law to contain any information, you are required to provide it.
You are solely responsible for distributing an advertisement that does not contain mandatory information or contains inaccurate information.
3. The ad must correspond to the categories on Amigo
Place ads only for those products for which there is a thematic category on Amigo.
It is forbidden to place several products in one ad, unless they form a set or correspond to one category.
If the ad contains several products corresponding to the same category, a price must be indicated for each product.
You can post ads within the same category using only one profile (including if you operate within the same company or joint business).
We have the right to set limits on the number of free classified ads for certain categories and regions (limit). If the limit is reached within 30 calendar days before the ad was placed, the subsequent submission of a new ad or activation of a previously created ad in the relevant categories and regions is possible for a fee, in accordance with the Terms of Paid Ad Placement, as well as the Terms of Extended Ad Publishing.
4. The proposal must be specific, existing and relevant
Advertise on a specific existing consumer value product or service.
If you are placing an advertisement for the sale of a product - the goods must be in stock, if you are placing an advertisement for a service - you must be ready to provide it; if you are placing an advertisement for renting real estate - you must be ready to transfer it to the tenant, etc. Exceptions: we allow the placement of goods on pre-order from abroad, as well as the offer of future puppies and kittens that have taken place in matings.
Do not post advertisements for the sale of goods through auction or bidding.
If you have sold a product or your offer has ceased to be relevant for other reasons, remove the ad from publication as soon as possible. Do not change the content of a previously published ad. Including, do not upload a photo of another product. Create a new listing for a new offer.
If technically possible, Amigo will automatically activate ads after the next maximum posting period has expired. If you do not have a need for automatic activation of ads, disable it in your profile or contact support specialists.
Do not post ads without the purpose of concluding a deal in relation to the exact product specified in the ad (fake ads). It is forbidden to place ads for the purpose of lead generation - to obtain contact information of potential buyers.
Remember that placing an ad may entail an obligation for you to a potential buyer to conclude and execute a transaction in accordance with civil law.
Do not post general advertising information in your ads without a specific offer. For this, use a special personal page within the tariff.
5. It is forbidden to post repeated ads
This means that you cannot post duplicate advertisements (duplicates) about the offer of the same product in different cities or regions. Exception: activation of a tariff in the subcategories: "Dogs" and "Cats".
You also cannot post repeated advertisements (duplicates) about the offer of the same product using multiple profiles (including if you operate within the framework of the same company or joint business).
The placement of a repeated announcement (duplicate) will also be considered if:
-
you unpublish your ad or remove it (including before its posting expires), and then post a new ad with the same product, including in a different region or in a different category;
you edit the published ad to replace the proposed product with another, and then post a new ad that offers an item from the original version of the old ad.
If the ad parameters coincide with similar parameters of another previously placed ad, a later ad may be regarded as repeated and blocked.
It is forbidden to post ads at the request or order of other Amigo users.
Requirements for ad quality
By fulfilling the Requirements for the quality of ads, you help your potential buyers and customers to get the right idea of your offer in a convenient way.
The announcement must contain the minimum amount of information that characterizes the offer in order for users to make a decision on the deal.
Fill in each parameter (field) of the ad only with the information for which it is intended. If some parameters are required, you will not be able to place an ad without filling them in.
Place ads in the language of the country in which the product is located. Do not write the text in capital letters. Avoid abbreviations and acronyms that are not accepted in this category.
On Amigo, obscene language, erotic, vulgar or offensive images and texts, information that contains threats, provokes cruelty, hatred, disrespect or may lead to illegal actions, as well as any other information that does not comply with moral norms and business practices are absolutely unacceptable ...
