SponsorSwap™ Terms of Use
Welcome to SponsorSwap™. By accessing our website or subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to the following terms:
Use of Service
SponsorSwap™ provides tools, resources, and content to help newsletter operators discover, arrange, and manage audience swaps.
Intellectual Property
All content, branding, systems, aggregated data insights, swap performance analytics, and platform algorithms are property of FourLab LLC. This includes but is not limited to: swap success patterns and metrics, operator matching algorithms, Trust Score methodologies, network growth insights, and all derivative analytics from platform usage.
Zero-Cost Swaps
SponsorSwap™ facilitates zero-cost swaps between newsletter operators. Swap transactions are currently provided at no charge by SponsorSwap (“Zero-Cost Swaps”); we may introduce, modify, or discontinue fees for swaps by updating these Terms and, where required, providing notice. Optional paid features may be offered separately to improve swap discovery and platform experience. SponsorSwap™ is not a party to swap agreements between operators.
User Obligations & Code of Conduct
By participating in SponsorSwap™, you agree to:
a) Provide Accurate Information - Submit truthful metrics including subscriber counts, open rates, and engagement data. Misrepresentation may result in immediate removal.
b) Honor Swap Commitments - Execute matched swaps within your stated availability and duration preferences. Failing to complete matched swaps damages the entire network's trust.
c) Maintain Professional Standards - Communicate respectfully with matched operators and represent their newsletters accurately in your swaps.
d) Report Metrics - Provide post-swap performance data when requested to help improve the platform for all operators.
e) One Account Per Newsletter - Operate only one Growth Profile per newsletter publication.
Violation of these obligations may result in removal from the platform at SponsorSwap's sole discretion.
f) Two-Send Standard - To ensure performance and fairness, each matched party agrees to deliver two (2) placements in separate newsletter issues within thirty (30) days of matching, scheduled within the availability stated in the Swap Profile. SponsorSwap™ may approve a one-send parity swap for larger lists to balance reach; in such cases, the larger-list operator runs one placement and SponsorSwap may allocate multiple partner sends on the other side to achieve reach parity. Failure to meet the Two-Send Standard may reduce Trust Score and can result in removal from the platform at SponsorSwap’s sole discretion.
g) Swap Receipt - Within 7 days of each placement, you must submit a Swap Receipt including partner name, both issue URLs, send dates, promised vs. delivered placement(s), pre/post subscriber counts, and proof screenshots. Failure to submit may lower Trust Score or result in removal.

Data & Privacy
Your data is governed by the SponsorSwap™ Privacy Policy. Your newsletter metrics submitted to SponsorSwap™ will be shared with potential swap partners and featured in Vault Drops.
Platform Standards & Trust Score
a) Quality Standards - All operators must maintain SponsorSwap™ quality standards. Non-compliance results in removal.
b) Trust Score System - Your participation is subject to Trust Score metrics measuring reliability, completion rates, and metric accuracy. Trust Scores determine platform privileges and swap priority.
c) Continuous Optimization - Standards and scoring evolve based on platform data. Updates are announced via Vault Drop.
d) Two-Send Compliance - Adherence to the Two-Send Standard is factored into Trust Score; approved one-send parity swaps are treated as complete.
e) Receipt Compliance - On-time Swap Receipts are factored into Trust Score and platform eligibility.
Dispute Resolution
a) Between Operators - Disputes between matched operators are resolved directly between those parties. SponsorSwap™ does not mediate swap disagreements.
b) With SponsorSwap™ - Any disputes with SponsorSwap™ will be resolved through binding arbitration in California. No class actions permitted.
c) Platform Decisions Final - All decisions regarding Trust Scores, operator removal, and swap matching are final and not subject to appeal.
Changes to Terms
