Content Suitability & Approval:

Happy Ads is a privately operated, general-audience advertising service. An advertisement does not have to be illegal, fraudulent, or specifically named elsewhere in these Terms in order to be rejected. Happy Ads may reject, pause, or remove advertising that we consider inappropriate, questionable, unsuitable for our audience, inconsistent with the character of our service, likely to create complaints, or harmful to the security, reputation, or operation of Happy Ads.

Advertising approval is at the discretion of Happy Ads. Not every possible reason for rejection can be listed in these Terms. Prior approval does not guarantee continued approval if the advertisement, destination, circumstances, or these Terms later change.
