Issue sponsorship terms of service
Last updated: 6 November 2026. These terms cover paid issue sponsorships offered by The App Reviews, operated by Pranshu Patidar. Live payment is not yet available. A confirmed booking identifies the issues, planned dates, and total price before checkout.
What a sponsor buys
One booking buys one of at most five equal, clearly labelled sponsor slots in each booked issue. The approved brand name, logo, and website link appear in the web issue, its emailed edition, and its PDF. The current single-issue USD price appears on the sponsor application page and is confirmed in your private offer. A four-issue booking covers four consecutive issues for the price of three single issues. Any applicable tax is shown at checkout.
Editorial independence
A sponsorship promotes the sponsor’s brand in the labelled placement. It does not buy a product review, app selection, editorial coverage, ranking, an endorsement, or influence over issue content. The editor independently selects every featured app. We do not promise a number of readers, email opens, clicks, leads, or sales.
Application and booking
We review every application and may decline a brand, logo, link, or message that is unsuitable for the publication or cannot be accepted by our payment provider. An application is not a booking. After approval, a private offer shows the available issue run and price. A booking is confirmed only after payment is verified and the order is accepted. No more than five sponsor slots are sold for an issue.
Creative and publication
The sponsor must provide a brand name, working website, and suitable logo, and must have permission to use them. We may request changes before approval. The final issue may show the logo at a size appropriate to the equal sponsor slots. We may refuse misleading, unlawful, or harmful material. A slot cannot be transferred to another brand without our approval.
Issue dates shown before purchase are planned dates. We will notify sponsors of material changes using the booking email. A published web issue, sent email, or downloaded PDF may remain available after publication. Our refund and cancellation policy explains delay and non-delivery remedies.
Payment disputes
Placements in an issue that is already published are final and are not changed by a later refund or dispute. Opening a payment dispute with your bank or card provider releases your booking’s unpublished placements, and other sponsors may book those slots. If the dispute is resolved in our favour or you withdraw it, you may accept equivalent placements, one for each released issue, in the next issues with a free slot; they need not be consecutive. If the dispute is decided in your favour, the booking ends and nothing further is owed. Please contact us before opening a dispute so we can try to resolve the issue first.
Changes and contact
These terms apply with the version shown when the booking is made; later changes do not alter a confirmed booking without agreement. Contact support@theappreview.fyi with booking questions. See our privacy policy for how we handle sponsor information.
