Compliance & Call Quality.

Compliance and quality protect consumers, affiliates, publishers, buyers, and AJ Ventures alike. This page sets out the expectations that apply across every campaign and partnership on our network.

Nine Standards Every Campaign Runs On

These expectations are shared in writing during onboarding and apply equally to affiliates, sub-affiliates, publishers, and buyers.

01

Genuine Consumer Intent

Calls must originate from real consumers with a real service need. Manufactured urgency, coached intent, or scripted framing is not accepted on the network.

02

Consumer Consent & Disclosure

Partners must obtain and document proper consumer consent before contact, consistent with applicable telemarketing and consumer-protection laws, and present accurate, non-misleading claims.

03

Transparent Advertising

Ads and landing pages must accurately represent what the consumer is calling about. Deceptive layouts, false localization, or misleading claims are prohibited.

04

Traffic-Source Disclosure

Affiliates and publishers must disclose source and sub-source information before sending traffic. Undisclosed sources may result in campaign suspension.

05

Approved Marketing Channels

Traffic must come through the channels agreed for each campaign. New channels, creatives, and angles require written approval before launch.

06

Sub-Affiliate Management

Affiliates are responsible for the compliance and behavior of their sub-affiliates. Hidden or unmanaged sub-affiliate traffic is not accepted.

07

Call Recording & Review

Where required by law or enabled by the campaign, call recordings may be used to review quality and compliance in cooperation with buyers.

08

Dispute & Quality Cooperation

Affiliates, publishers, and buyers are expected to participate in reasonable, timely reviews of quality concerns raised on either side of a call.

09

Corrective Action

Concerns may result in coaching, campaign-setting updates, traffic adjustments, or suspension in serious or repeat cases. Standards are enforced consistently, not selectively.

The Same Standards for Every Side

Compliance protects consumers, partners, and buyers at the same time — these expectations apply across the network.

Affiliates & Publishers

Performance marketers and publishers running home service campaigns. You obtain consent, use approved channels, disclose your sources, and represent every campaign accurately.

Sub-Affiliates

Partners working within affiliate programs. You are held to the same standards as the affiliate who introduced you — and that affiliate is accountable for your traffic.

Buyers

Contractors, call centers, franchises, and brands receiving calls. You handle consumers professionally, honor campaign terms, and cooperate in quality reviews.

This page sets out general network expectations and does not replace the terms of an applicable affiliate agreement, buyer agreement, insertion order, campaign document, or applicable law. Where this page and a signed agreement differ, the signed agreement controls. Questions about how these standards apply to your traffic? Ask us before you launch — not after.
