NollywoodCV

Advertising Policy

Last updated Nollywood CV Limited · www.nollywoodcv.com

Native ads are small picture adverts shown on the NollywoodCV blog, always marked "Native Ad". This policy explains who can advertise, how ads are booked, designed, checked, paid for and removed, and what is never allowed. By booking an ad, you agree to it.

What a native ad is

A native ad is one picture with one link, shown in NollywoodCV's own ad box on the blog list and at points within blog articles. Ads are never shown on members' profiles. Every ad is clearly marked "Native Ad", so readers always know it is an advert and not an article.

Who can advertise, price and duration

  • Any registered NollywoodCV member aged 18 or older, free or Premium, can advertise.
  • An ad runs for 7 days and costs ₦5,000, paid once through Paystack. No card is saved and nothing renews by itself.
  • You can renew a running ad in its last 2 days. The new days are added to your end date.

Booking, places and the waiting list

  • Up to 20 ads run at the same time, and they take turns in the ad box fairly.
  • When you start paying, your place is held for 30 minutes.
  • When every place is taken, you can join the waiting list and you will be told when a place opens.
  • Starting several payments without finishing them can pause your bookings for 24 hours.

What your ad may contain

  • One picture and one link. Advertisers cannot add code, sound, pop-ups or anything else.
  • The link must open a real website. The system checks it before you pay and again whenever you change it.
  • You must own the picture, or have permission to use everything in it (photographs, posters, logos, people and text).
  • Claims in your ad (prices, dates, offers) must be true, and the ad must comply with Nigerian advertising and consumer protection law.

Design my ad

  • No picture? Choose one of NollywoodCV's ready templates, add your words and photographs, and the picture is made for you.
  • Some templates are free and some have a small one-time design fee, shown before you pay. Renewing the same ad never charges the design fee again.
  • The design preview carries a "PREVIEW" watermark. Your ad goes live without it, and you can download the clean picture once it is running.
  • Designs that are not paid for are deleted after 24 hours.
  • Casting-call templates always show "Never pay to audition".
  • The templates belong to NollywoodCV. You may use the finished picture for your own promotion.

What is not allowed

  • Asking people to pay to audition. Casting calls that charge audition, registration or "form" fees are banned and are suspended.
  • Pretending to be NollywoodCV. Ads must not use the NollywoodCV name or logo, or look like an official NollywoodCV message.
  • Scams, fraud, fake jobs, fake giveaways and "double your money" or other investment schemes.
  • Misleading claims, false prices or fake reviews.
  • Adult or sexual content, and anything offensive, hateful or violent.
  • Illegal products or services, gambling that is not licensed in Nigeria, and products that need approval they do not have.
  • Links that lead to harmful downloads, fake login pages, or anything that asks for passwords or card details under false pretences.
  • Pictures, posters, music or logos you do not have the right to use.

How ads are checked

  • The system checks every picture and link before an ad goes live.
  • NollywoodCV is told about every new or changed ad and can pause or stop any ad at any time.
  • Signed-in members can report an ad. An ad reported by 10 members is paused automatically until NollywoodCV reviews it.

Pausing, suspension and removal

  • An ad that breaks this policy can be paused or suspended. Paused ads that return to the blog get their paused time added back.
  • A suspended ad stops for good and is not refunded.
  • Serious or repeated breaches can also lead to account action under the Community Guidelines and Acceptable Use Policy.

Payment, receipts and no refunds

  • Payments are taken by Paystack. The price you see when you press Pay is the price you pay, even if prices change while you are paying.
  • Receipts for every payment are in Dashboard → My Ads.

All payments are final and non-refundable, including ad payments, design fees, and ads that are paused or suspended for breaking this policy, except where Nigerian law requires a refund (for example, a duplicate charge caused by a payment error). See the Subscription, Billing and Refund Policy.

Your ad picture

  • You can download your ad picture from My Ads once your ad has run.
  • Pictures are deleted 7 days after the ad ends. The record of your ad stays in My Ads.

No guaranteed results

NollywoodCV does not promise any number of views, clicks, sales or other results. Ads take turns in the ad box, so how often your ad is seen depends on blog traffic and how many ads are running.
