Vaudit – Terms & Conditions

1.1 Read-Only Access

By connecting your Google Ads account through Google's secure OAuth process, you grant Vaudit read-only access to:

• Campaign and account structure
• Performance and traffic metrics
• Billing and spend data
• Click diagnostics and historical audit signals
• Data required to reconcile traffic behaviour against platform policies

Vaudit does not request write-access and cannot modify your campaigns. Vaudit acts solely as an independent auditor.

1.2 Purpose of Access

Read-only access enables Vaudit to:

• Conduct an independent traffic audit using proprietary audit vectors
• Analyse click behaviour, GLIDs, routing patterns, and timing diagnostics
• Detect anomalies or patterns inconsistent with platform Terms & Conditions
• Reconcile platform reporting with on-site traffic diagnostics
• Estimate potential refunds or credits
• Prepare evidence for invalid-traffic submissions
• Generate dashboard reporting based on audit findings

Your data is used only for audit and recovery purposes.

1.3 Revoking Access

Access can be revoked at any time through your Google permissions page. Revoking access before an audit or investigation is complete may prevent Vaudit from delivering the Services.

2.1 Audit-Based Estimates

Refund and credit estimates are based on Vaudit's audit methodology, including:

• GLID-level reconciliation
• Proprietary audit vectors
• Traffic quality diagnostics
• Click-pattern analysis
• Platform policy alignment checks

Estimates indicate potential eligibility but are not guaranteed. Final decisions are made by Google or the relevant platform.

Before submitting a refund or IVT claim, Vaudit may verify that:

• Sufficient audit signals are available
• Traffic behaviour aligns with platform definitions of invalid traffic
• Evidence meets platform submission requirements

By using Vaudit, you authorize us to:

• Communicate with Google or the relevant platform relating to the investigation

All submissions follow the applicable platform IVT and refund procedures.

2.4 Platform-Aligned Audit Practices

Vaudit conducts all auditing and submissions in accordance with platform policies and Terms & Conditions. Vaudit does not modify campaigns. All work is performed using permitted diagnostic and attribution data and follows certified click-tracking standards.

2.5 Audit Data Accuracy

Audit completeness depends on:

• Platform-side click and billing data
• Vaudit Pixel diagnostic signals if installed
• GLID integrity and attribution accuracy
• Alignment between onsite behaviour and platform reporting

Missing or incomplete data may limit Vaudit's ability to support or submit a claim.

2.6 Authorization to Act as Your Representative

Vaudit charges no subscription fees and no upfront fees.

3.2 First USD 500 in Recoveries Free

You receive the first USD 500 in recovered refunds or credits at no charge.

No billing of any kind occurs until cumulative recoveries exceed USD 500.

3.3 Success-Based Pricing After USD 500

After recoveries exceed USD 500:

• A success fee of 30 percent applies to all additional amounts recovered
• The initial USD 500 remains free

Charges and itemised recoveries appear in your Vaudit dashboard.
