ADVERTISER DUE DILIGENCE

1. Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that advertisers using the Outlink platform are legitimate businesses or individuals, are funding campaigns from lawful sources, and comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and Outlink’s Terms of Service.

This policy applies to all advertisers and prospective advertisers on the Outlink marketplace.

2. Policy Statement

Outlink is committed to maintaining a trusted, secure, and transparent platform for both advertisers and service providers. To safeguard against fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, and misuse of the platform, Outlink performs thorough due diligence on advertisers both at onboarding and throughout their use of the platform.

3. Due Diligence Requirements

3.1 Identity and Account Verification

Advertisers must provide accurate details, including:

• Legal name of the business

• Names of the company's representative. Outlink may request a valid government-issued ID (for company-authorized representatives and/or ultimate beneficiaries) or registration documents (for businesses)

• Contact information (email, phone, billing address)

Advertiser payment methods are verified, and the named account holder may be checked against the advertiser's registered identity.

3.2 AML / CFT Screening

All advertisers are subject to Outlink’s AML / CFT Policy.

Screening includes:

• Blocking of sanctioned jurisdictions via IP and billing information

• Monitoring of suspicious or unusually large transactions

• May also include sanctions list checks (OFAC, UN, EU, UK, etc.)

Escalation of flagged transactions for human review

Outlink reserves the right to request proof of source of funds for high-spend campaigns, large transactions, or suspicious activity.

Automated and manual checks are performed to ensure that advertisements align with these requirements.
