Summary

This agreement sets the rules for buying ads on LinkedIn. Every payment you make is non-refundable, and if something goes wrong with fees—whether due to invalid activity or technical issues—your only remedy is to request an ad credit within 90 days. LinkedIn can reject your ads, change or end the service at any time, and you cannot join a class action against LinkedIn.

Analysis

The LinkedIn Ads Agreement establishes the terms under which advertisers access and use LinkedIn's Ad Services, imposing significant restrictions on data use, financial remedies, and legal recourse. Advertisers are limited to using Ad Services Data only in aggregate, anonymous form for Campaign performance assessment, and bear sole responsibility for ad content and targeting produced using LinkedIn's automated features. LinkedIn caps mutual liability at five times the prior month's fees or USD $100.00, renders all payments non-refundable, restricts fee-dispute and Invalid Activity remedies to Ad Services credits claimed within 90 days, and bars class actions and representative proceedings. LinkedIn retains sole discretion to reject ads, modify or terminate the Ad Services, compete in its own ad auctions, and suspend or terminate advertiser access.

What this means for you

As an advertiser, you may only use Ad Services Data in aggregate, anonymous form to measure Campaign performance—no other use is permitted. You are solely responsible for reviewing and approving any automated ad recommendations before launching them; LinkedIn accepts no liability for outcomes from those features. All fees paid are non-refundable, and disputes over Invalid Activity or Technological Issues must be submitted as written credit claims within 90 days or the right is permanently waived. LinkedIn can suspend or terminate your access in its sole discretion, including for credit-related reasons, with no contractual guarantee of continued service.
