This provision establishes that creative compliance is assessed both on substantive content standards and on technical format specifications, creating two independent compliance checkpoints that must both be satisfied for ad approval.
Interpretive note: The specific technical specification requirements referenced in the policy were not fully accessible in the truncated document source.
Under these terms, ad creatives that fail to meet quality standards or that are inconsistent with their linked landing pages will be rejected, requiring advertisers to revise and resubmit before campaigns can run. Compliance with TikTok's technical specifications for ad format is a separate mandatory requirement.
