Hulu Advertising Manager Terms

back to top arrow

Effective date: October 25, 2022

These Hulu Advertising Manager Terms (“Ad Manager Terms”) govern the access and use of Hulu’s Ad Manager Tool (“Ad Manager Tool”) located at https://admanager.hulu.com (or successor URL) and are entered into by Hulu, LLC (“Hulu”) and the business entity accessing or using the Ad Manager Tool (“Advertiser”) or the advertising agency accessing and using the Ad Manager Tool as an agent for an Advertiser (“Agency”). These Ad Manager Terms govern access and use of the Ad Manager Tool, including account creation, purchase of advertising inventory, and the display of those Ads (as defined below) on Hulu’s online video service. As the individual acting on behalf of Advertiser or Agency (“You”), You represent and warrant that You have the authority to agree to these Ad Manager Terms and to use the Ad Manager Tool on Advertiser’s or Agency’s, applicable, behalf.

1. Ad Manager Tool Account and Usage.

To access and use the Ad Manager Tool, You must provide and update the information needed to create and maintain an account. Hulu reserves the right, at any time, to:

  1. Confirm that You are authorized to act on behalf of Advertiser or Agency, as applicable.
  2. Verify that Advertiser or Agency is in good standing.
  3. Confirm that Agency is authorized to act on behalf of Advertiser, including requesting Agency to provide documentation of agency authority for Advertiser.
  4. Otherwise validate Advertiser or Agency, including via credit reports, industry classification, corporate filings, etc. If Hulu is unable to do so, it may refuse or revoke access to the Ad Manager Tool. Advertiser may authorize individuals or Agencies to access and use its account, but Advertiser is responsible for any and all activity related to the account. Agencies may authorize individuals to access and use its account, but Agency is responsible for any and all activity related to the account.

The Ad Manager Tool may not be used for any purposes that are not expressly permitted by these Ad Manager Terms or are otherwise prohibited under applicable law, including any activity that interferes with or disrupts, damages, disables, or otherwise impairs the Ad Manager Tool (or the connected servers and networks). Hulu has no obligation to grant You, any Advertiser or any Agency access to the Ad Manager Tool and Hulu reserves the right to revoke, restrict, or suspend access to the Ad Manager Tool at any time without notice or liability, if Hulu determines or reasonably believes You, Advertiser, or Agency has breached these Ad Manager Terms, violated any law, rule, or regulation, engaged in other inappropriate conduct, or for any other business reason. Advertiser may authorize individuals to access and use Advertiser’s Ad Manager Tool account, provided Advertiser shall be liable and responsible for all activity that occurs under Advertiser’s Ad Manager Tool account, including, but not limited to, establishing, managing and revoking access levels for Advertiser’s Ad Manager Tool account. Agency may authorize individuals to access and use Agency’s Ad Manager Tool account, provided Agency shall be liable and responsible for all activity that occurs under Agency’s Ad Manager Tool account, including, but not limited to, establishing, managing and revoking access levels for Agency’s Ad Manager Tool account. Any individual granted access to an Ad Manager Tool account must comply with these Ad Manager Terms and the Hulu Ad Manager Beta Program Terms.

2. License.

Advertiser (or Agency acting on behalf of the Advertiser) grants Hulu a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as provided herein) right and license to reproduce, distribute, perform and display Advertiser’s Ad(s) on Hulu’s online video service during the designated campaign period on or via any device as set forth in these Ad Manager Terms.

Except as required by law or to comply with the request of a governmental entity, You, Advertiser and Agency will not use Hulu’s name, trademarks, service marks, logos or other identifiers (collectively, “Trademarks”), or make any reference to Hulu or its Trademarks in any manner including, without limitation, customer facing materials and press releases, without the prior written approval of Hulu.

3. Ads and Campaigns.

    1. Submission and Approval. An Ad must be approved by Hulu before the campaign may begin and impressions may be delivered. Approval includes both compliance with all technical specifications provided by Hulu and the Advertising Policies described or referenced below in Section 3(c) (“Advertising Policies”). “Ad” means any materials, including without limitation any artwork, written text, images, trademarks, logos, service marks, video, audio, data files, URLs, or any other intellectual property or content, submitted by or on behalf of Advertiser via the Ad Manager Tool. An Ad must be submitted for Hulu’s approval via the Ad Manager Tool no later than 3 business days before the scheduled campaign start date. However, any modifications required for the Ad to comply with technical specifications provided by Hulu and Advertising Policies may take additional time; to avoid delays, an Ad should be submitted as soon as possible. It is Your, Advertiser’s and Agency’s responsibility to regularly check the status of an Ad, including whether it has been approved, rejected, or is in need of modification, within the Ad Manager Tool. In the event that no Ad has been approved before the campaign start date, Hulu will automatically pause the campaign. If a campaign begins later than its scheduled start date, the end date will not be adjusted, and the number of impressions delivered during the campaign may be reduced. A campaign will be automatically canceled in the event that no Ad is uploaded and approved prior to the scheduled campaign end date. You, Advertiser, and Agency should maintain a back-up of any Ad(s) (and related data) submitted via the Ad Manager Tool. Hulu has no obligation to store, retrieve, or return any Ad(s) to You, Advertiser, or Agency.
    2. Delivery. To create a campaign via the Ad Manager Tool, You, Advertiser or Agency will upload an Ad and will designate the budget, targeting criteria, and any other information Hulu may request. Once an Ad is approved and the campaign begins, Hulu will deliver the Ad via the Hulu website or application as inventory becomes available. Hulu will determine the size, placement, and positioning of Ad(s) in its sole discretion. Hulu makes no commitments regarding the video content during which an Ad may be displayed or where it appears in relation to other Ad(s). Additionally, Hulu cannot guarantee:
      1. Delivery of all (or any) of the Ad impressions reflected in a campaign’s budget.
      2. The performance of Ads or campaigns.
      3. That Ads will reach the audience targeted.
      4. That Ads will run on any particular device or subset of devices.
    3. Advertising Policies. All Ads are subject to Hulu review and approval. Hulu may block, reject, revoke, or remove any Ad for any reason at any time, including if Hulu determines an Ad is inconsistent with Hulu’s business practices, strategy, standards, or brand. Hulu is not responsible for Your, Advertiser’s, or Agency’s costs associated with producing or modifying an Ad. You, Advertiser, and Agency agree not to upload, submit, display, or otherwise use the Ad Manager Tool in order to transmit or display any Ads advertising, promoting, containing, comprising, or linking to materials that are inconsistent with the Hulu Ad Inventory Guidelines located at https://hulu.disneyadsales.com/adrestrictions/.
      Hulu reserves its right to: (1) require modifications to an Ad before approval and to require modifications to any previously-approved Ad; (2) require factual support for any statements or claims in connection with an Ad; (3) reject any Ad in which the product or service could adversely affect the interests of Hulu, its users or the community generally; (4) revoke approval of an Ad; and (5) waive or make exceptions, in its sole and absolute discretion, to the Advertising Policies described in this Section.
      Advertiser, not Hulu, is responsible for ensuring that its Ad(s) comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards and guidelines, as well as the Advertising Policies. Hulu’s approval of an Ad shall not be construed as its endorsement of that Ad; the accuracy, content, and obligation to honor any commitments or representations made in connection with the Ad(s) are Advertiser’s alone. Hulu’s approval of an Ad shall not relieve Advertiser of its obligations under these Ad Manager Terms, including the obligation to comply with all applicable laws and industry standards and guidelines.
    4. Targeting. Hulu may provide Advertiser (or Agency acting on Advertiser’s behalf) the option to target an Ad to a desired audience based on certain criteria. Advertiser (or Agency acting on Advertiser’s behalf) is solely responsible for appropriately using the Ad Manager Tool to select its targeting preferences. Hulu does not guarantee that Ads will reach the audience targeted. Advertiser (or Agency acting on Advertiser’s behalf) shall be obligated to pay for all impressions delivered regardless of whether such impressions reach the audience targeted. Advertiser (or Agency acting on Advertiser’s behalf) may choose whether and in what combination to use targeting criteria, provided that it is Advertiser’s sole responsibility to do so in compliance with applicable law and industry standards and guidelines. For example, there may be instances in which Advertiser is required to use or refrain from using certain targeting criteria in order to comply with applicable law or industry standards (e.g., if Advertiser is promoting an alcohol product, Advertiser must only target audiences 21 years and older). If the required targeting criteria is not available, do not submit the campaign. In the absence of any targeting criteria, Ad(s) will be served in available inventory at Hulu’s discretion.
    5. Reporting. Hulu may provide reporting about the performance of Advertiser’s campaigns; provided, however, Hulu makes no guarantees as to the accuracy, suitability or reliability of such information (if any). Hulu is under no obligation to provide Advertiser with additional detail regarding the performance of an Ad or any other aspects of the campaign. Among other things, Hulu will not identify the specific piece(s) of content during which an Ad was delivered, the specific demographics for viewers of an Ad, or the air times during which an Ad was displayed. All reporting and any data or information, including without limitation Ad Data (as defined below) contained in such reports may only be used in accordance with Section 5(a) below.
    6. Cancellation, Pause, Suspension and Campaign End. Hulu reserves the right to cancel, pause, or suspend any campaign in its sole discretion. Advertiser (or Agency acting on behalf of Advertiser) may cancel a campaign at any time via the Ad Manager Tool. For cancellation to be effective, Advertiser (or Agency acting on behalf of Advertiser) must cancel through the Ad Manager Tool. If a campaign is cancelled, impressions will stop being delivered as promptly as practicable. Advertiser (or Agency acting on behalf of Advertiser) will be charged for all impressions delivered, including any delivered during the short period while the cancellation request is processed; no refunds will be issued. Upon cancellation of a campaign or campaign end, the licenses granted in these Ad Manager Terms will expire immediately. Some content may persist for a period of time, and the licenses granted by Advertiser to Hulu in these Ad Manager Terms will extend for those purposes. Advertiser (or Agency acting on behalf of Advertiser) may also pause a campaign at any time via the Ad Manager Tool. If a campaign is paused, impressions will stop being delivered as promptly as practicable. Advertiser (or Agency acting on behalf of Advertiser) will be charged for all impressions delivered, including any delivered during the short period while the pause request is processed; no refunds will be issued. Advertiser (or Agency acting on behalf of Advertiser) may resume the campaign at any time before the scheduled end date. Pausing a campaign will not modify the scheduled campaign end date, and the number of impressions delivered during the campaign may be reduced.

4. Billing.

  1. Payment Method. Advertiser (or Agency acting on Advertiser’s behalf) must provide a credit card or alternative payment instrument or method accepted by Hulu (“Payment Method”) in order to submit a campaign via the Ad Manager Tool. Hulu or its payment processor(s) may run payment authorization checks in order to validate the Payment Method. To avoid campaign interruptions, the expiration date associated with the Payment Method should occur after the scheduled end date of any campaigns. By providing a Payment Method, Advertiser (or Agency acting on Advertiser’s behalf) authorizes Hulu or its payment processor(s) to charge that Payment Method for all amounts due (including applicable taxes) in connection with any campaigns submitted through the Ad Manager Tool. Advertiser may update its Payment Method at any time, and Hulu may automatically update the Payment Method using a payment card updater service.
    • Net Terms. In lieu of paying by credit card or alternative payment instrument, following a written request and from Advertiser (or Agency acting on Advertiser’s behalf), Hulu may, in its sole and absolute discretion, offer Advertiser or Agency the option to pay on net terms (“Net Terms”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in these Ad Manager Terms. Such offer must be in the form a written communication received by Advertiser (or Agency acting on Advertiser’s behalf) prior to the start of the applicable campaign. With respect to Agency, Hulu’s offer may be made on an Advertiser-by-Advertiser basis (i.e., certain of Agency’s Advertisers may be offered Net Terms while other of Agency’s Advertisers must pay via credit card or alternative payment instrument accepted by Hulu). Hulu reserves the right, exercisable in its sole and absolute discretion, to revoke Agency’s or Advertiser’s Net Terms payment option upon notice to Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, for any or no reason, including, but not limited to any payment failures. In the event Hulu revokes Agency’s or Advertiser’s Net Terms payment option, Agency or Advertiser, as applicable, shall revert to payment by credit card or alternative payment instrument accepted by Hulu.
  2. Budget. Advertiser (or Agency acting on Advertiser’s behalf) will set a maximum budgeted dollar amount to be spent or the desired number of impressions to be delivered over the course of a campaign. Hulu will not charge the Payment Method associated with the account for more than this budgeted amount but may charge less than the budgeted amount based on the number of impressions delivered during the campaign period.
  3. Payment Method Billing. Hulu will begin to charge the Payment Method associated with the account after the campaign starts for any impressions delivered. Hulu will measure impression delivery for Advertiser’s Ads in the Ad Manager Tool. You, Advertiser and Agency acknowledge that Hulu’s impression delivery measurements are the definitive measurements of Ad delivery in the Ad Manager Tool. The amount owed by Advertiser or Agency will be calculated based solely on Hulu’s measurements. You, Advertiser or Agency may not take separate measurements of Ad impressions on the Ad Manager Tool or retain any third party to do so. Each billing period will cover the time between scheduled billing dates; see our Billing FAQ for more information. Billing dates may vary, including for example in the event of any processing delays, if a campaign is paused or suspended, or if no impressions are delivered. Hulu will provide a billing confirmation detailing the amount and date for each charge associated with a campaign.
  4. Net Terms Billing. If Advertiser or Agency has been offered, and accepted in writing (via email will suffice), Net Terms prior to the start of the applicable campaign, Hulu shall issue invoices to Advertiser or Agency, as applicable. Such invoices shall include the Advertiser name, brand name and/or campaign name, and the amount owed by Agency or Advertiser. Agency or Advertiser, as applicable, shall make payment within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. For Agency, Hulu may notify Agency that it has not received payment in such thirty (30)-day period and that Hulu intends to seek payment directly from the applicable Advertiser. Hulu agrees to hold Agency liable for payments only if Agency has received funds from Advertiser. If Agency has not received funds from Advertiser, Hulu will hold Advertiser, and not Agency, solely liable for payment. In the event Hulu revokes Agency’s or Advertiser’s Net Terms payment option, billing shall revert to the terms set forth in Section 4(c), above.
  5. Payment Failures. If Hulu is unable to successfully charge the Payment Method associated with the account, the campaign will be suspended or paused and impressions will stop being delivered. Hulu may retry charging the Payment Method. In the event Advertiser (or Agency acting on behalf of Advertiser) does not provide a new Payment Method before the scheduled campaign end date, the campaign will be cancelled. Advertiser (or Agency acting on behalf of Advertiser) remains obligated to pay Hulu for any impressions delivered and agrees to pay all amounts due. ADVERTISER (OR AGENCY ACTING ON BEHALF OF ADVERTISER) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ALL AMOUNTS BILLED TO THE PAYMENT METHOD ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACCOUNT. Hulu may terminate any current or future campaigns and take steps to collect past due amounts; Advertiser (or Agency acting on behalf of Advertiser) will pay all reasonable associated costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).
  6. Account Codes/Credits. Hulu may, in its sole discretion, provide a code, credit, coupon, or other form of discount in any amount and on terms and restrictions as provided by Hulu. Account codes, credits, coupons, or other discounts are non-transferable and may not be redeemed for cash. If Advertiser’s or Agency’s account is cancelled, Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, will forfeit any account codes, credits, coupons, or other discounts.
  7. Refunds. Neither Advertiser nor Agency will be refunded any amounts paid to Hulu, and Advertiser (or Agency acting on behalf of Advertiser) agrees to pay Hulu for any impressions delivered as of the campaign start date.

5. Data and Privacy.

9. Arbitration of Claims.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY.

In the event of a dispute, controversy or claim (hereinafter, a “Dispute”) arising out of our relating to these Ad Manager Terms and/or the Ad Manager Tool, You, Advertiser or Agency must send to Hulu a Notice of Dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving the notice, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested. You must send any Notice of Dispute to Hulu to Hulu, LLC, 2500 Broadway, 2nd Floor, Santa Monica, California 90404, Attn: Legal. We will send any Notice of Dispute to You, Advertiser or Agency at the contact information we have for You, Advertiser or Agency, as applicable.

The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute for a period of 30 days from the date a Notice of Dispute is received. If the parties cannot resolve the Dispute informally as provided above, any unresolved Dispute arising out of or relating to use of the Ad Manager Tool, these Ad Manager Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Los Angeles County, California pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, effective June 1, 2021 (the “JAMS Rules”). The JAMS Rules and instructions about how to initiate an arbitration are available at www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267.

The parties shall mutually select a single, neutral arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree on such arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the neutral arbitrator will be a retired judge of any California state or federal court with a minimum of 15 years’ experience resolving commercial disputes. The arbitrator will provide a detailed written statement of decision, which will be part of the arbitration award and admissible in any judicial proceeding to confirm, correct or vacate the award. The arbitral award shall be based upon the law and the facts, and the arbitrator shall have no greater authority to consider equitable factors than would the Superior Court of the State of California. The arbitrator is not authorized to award any punitive or exemplary damages whatsoever, and the parties will not seek to collect or enforce any part of any award inconsistent with this limitation on the authority of the arbitrator.

Either party may appeal an award exceeding $500,000.00 through the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure, effective 2003. If either party refuses to perform any or all of its obligations under the final arbitration award (following appeal, if applicable) within thirty (30) days of an award being rendered, then the other party may enforce the final award in any court of competent jurisdiction. The party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in enforcing the award, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.

YOU, ADVERTISER, AGENCY AND HULU AGREE TO ARBITRATE IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY, NOT AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS, AND EACH OF US EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH A PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR SEEKS RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. NO ARBITRATION PROCEEDING CAN BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATIONS OR PROCEEDINGS.

As an exception to this arbitration agreement, You, Advertiser and/or Agency may pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court’s jurisdiction as long as You, Advertiser and/or Agency proceeds only on an individual basis.

Adherence to this dispute resolution provision shall not limit any party’s right to obtain any provisional remedy, including without limitation, injunctive or similar relief from any court of competent jurisdiction.

10. Miscellaneous.

  1. Governing Law. These Ad Manager Terms are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles of any jurisdiction. You, Advertiser, Agency and Hulu agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Ad Manager Terms that is not subject to arbitration shall be filed, and that venue properly lies, only in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California, and You, Advertiser, and Agency consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating such action.
  2. Entire Agreement. These Ad Manager Terms and the Hulu Ad Manager Beta Program Terms are the parties’ entire agreement relating to their subject and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject.

  4. No Waiver. No party will be deemed to have waived any rights by not exercising or delaying exercising rights under these Ad Manager Terms. No waiver of any breach of these Ad Manager Terms shall be construed to be, or shall be, a waiver of any other breach of these Ad Manager Terms. No waiver shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the party waiving the breach.
  5. Severability. If any provision of these Ad Manager Terms or the application of any such provision is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, without regard to the invalidity of the provision, and these Ad Manager Terms shall be construed as if the provision had never been in these Ad Manager Terms.
  6. Assignment. Neither You, Advertiser nor Agency may assign or transfer any rights, or delegate any duties, under these Ad Manager Terms without Hulu’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be void.
