When running ads with ADXL, it's crucial to have the rights to use any trademarked or copyrighted content. If you're using someone else's branding, logo, or content, you need permission from the trademark owner. Without it, your ads could be disapproved or even lead to legal trouble.
​

Steps towards Compliance:

  1. Get Permissions: Obtain necessary approvals from the trademark owner.

  2. Connect Accounts: Link your authorized ad accounts with ADXL.

  3. Create Ads: Use the approved trademarked content confidently.
