Terms of use

Last updated: November 2, 2026

This is a courtesy translation of the Términos de uso. If the two versions differ, the Spanish version governs.

These terms are the agreement between you and whoever operates esponsor, whose details are in the Contact section. They apply when you use the esponsor app for Mac. Here, “we” means whoever operates esponsor. What we do with your data is in the privacy notice.

What esponsor is and who is who

esponsor is a free Mac app that shows ads in a small bar at the top of your screen. Sponsors pay us to show their ads and you earn a share of what they pay for the ads that count.

You and the sponsors don't have a contract with each other: each of you has your own agreement with us. Seeing an ad doesn't make you our employee or any sponsor's, and doesn't mean you endorse what it advertises.

You decide when there are ads. You can pause them or turn off the app whenever you want, and while they are paused you don't see ads or earn.

Who can use it

To use esponsor you need to be at least 18 years old and have a Mac and an account. esponsor is available where we offer it, and in some places there may be no ads.

Your account

To receive ads you need an account. You sign in with your email and a six-digit code we email you, not with a password. The email has to be yours. Protect access to your email, because it is how your account is accessed, and write to us if you think someone else got in.

You can use your account on more than one Mac, and what you earn on all of them adds up to a single balance. Each Mac can be linked to only one account.

The permission to use the app

We give you permission to install and use the app on your Macs, for your personal use. It is a permission for you only: you can't sell it, rent it or pass it on to someone else.

You may not decompile the app, reverse engineer it, modify it or create programs that pass themselves off as it, except to the extent the law allows you to do so anyway.

This permission doesn't give you rights over the esponsor name, its logo or the app's code. We can withdraw it if you breach these terms, as the suspension section explains.

How we count ads

An ad counts when the esponsor server records it. The app doesn't decide how much you earn: it tells the server every so often how long you were available, and the server compares that with its own clock and decides what counts.

You are available when you used the keyboard or the mouse recently, your session is unlocked, your Mac and your screen are not asleep and the bar is visible on your screen. If any of that is interrupted before the ad ends, that ad doesn't count.

Time in which you paused the ads, or in which the app paused them because it detected that you are sharing or recording your screen, doesn't count either. That pause comes turned on and you can turn it off. The detection is not perfect. Also, time in which the app can't connect to the server may not count.

There may be a cap on the ads that count per hour on each Mac, and there may be stretches with no ads available.

We calculate what you earn from what the server records. The app shows you your balance and how many ads have counted. If you think there is an error, write to us and we will look into it.

What you earn

For each ad that counts we add to your record a share of what the sponsor paid. What you have earned is a record in your account, not a deposit: it is not money in your hands until you withdraw it.

We don't guarantee how much you will earn or that there will always be ads.

Every entry in your record is kept. If an ad was counted by mistake, we correct it with a new entry, which is reflected in your balance.

If we have reasonable signs of fraud, we may hold what you earned with the activity in question while we review it, and we let you know by email. If the fraud is confirmed, what came from that activity doesn't count. The rest of your balance is still yours.

Your share, the payment method, whether there is a minimum amount to withdraw and when payment is made are shown in the app before you can withdraw. If they change, we let you know as the changes section explains.

Any taxes due on what you earn are your responsibility, except what the law requires us to withhold.

What is not allowed

To keep esponsor fair for everyone, you may not:

• Fake being at your Mac with programs, devices or any other trick.
• Use bots, scripts or device farms to view ads.
• Change your Mac's clock or alter what the app sends to the server.
• Use a modified version of the app or a program that passes itself off as it.
• Open several accounts, or split Macs across accounts, to earn more.
• Click ads automatically.
• Use esponsor for anything illegal.

The server checks each report from the app against its own clock and doesn't count time that didn't really pass. If you do anything on this list, we may hold or cancel what you earned with it and suspend your account or your Macs.

The sites the ads lead to

When you click an ad, the sponsor's site opens in your browser. Ads go through a review before they are shown, but the sites they lead to belong to the sponsors: they answer for what they offer there, and they have their own terms and their own privacy notice. Anything you buy or sign up for on those sites is between you and the sponsor.

Suspension of your account

You can stop using esponsor at any time, as the How to stop using esponsor section explains.

We may suspend your account or one of your Macs if you breach these terms, in particular the list of what is not allowed, or if an authority requires it of us. We let you know by email and tell you why, unless the law doesn't allow us to. If you think it is a mistake, write to us and we will look into it. A suspended Mac stops receiving ads and adding earnings.

If you stop using esponsor or we suspend your account, what you earned legitimately does not become ours and stays in your record. The conditions for withdrawing a pending balance are shown in the app before you can withdraw.

What we don't guarantee and our liability

We do what we can for esponsor to work well, but it may have failures or interruptions, and there may be stretches with no ads. We don't promise you an amount of earnings or that the service will always work.

We are liable to you, under Mexican law, for the damages we cause you by not complying with these terms or the law. Nothing in these terms takes away the rights the Federal Consumer Protection Law (Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor) gives you, or passes to you or anyone else a liability that is ours.

Governing law and courts

These terms are governed by the federal laws of Mexico, in particular the Federal Consumer Protection Law. If we have a disagreement that we can't resolve by writing to each other, it is settled by the courts where the user is domiciled, that is, those of the place where you live.

You can also file a complaint with the Federal Consumer Protection Agency, the Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor (PROFECO), which is the administrative route for consumers.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we publish the new version on this page with a new last-updated date and let you know by email at least 15 calendar days before it applies.

If the change is important, such as how ads are counted, what you earn or your rights, it applies to you only if you accept it. If you don't accept it, you can stop using esponsor, and what you earned legitimately stays in your record.

A change that doesn't affect you, such as a correction to the wording, applies when that notice period ends.

Your rights as a consumer

• These terms are in Spanish and in legible print.
• Your rights as a consumer cannot be waived, even if a contract says otherwise.
• If any clause of these terms were contrary to the law, that clause doesn't apply and the rest remains valid.
• We use your information confidentially, as the privacy notice explains.
• You can file a complaint with PROFECO. You don't need to write to us first, but if you do, we will try to resolve it with you.

How to stop using esponsor

esponsor is free and has no minimum term: you can stop using esponsor whenever you want, right away.

• To take a break, use Pausar (Pause) in the app.
• To close the app completely, use Apagar (Turn off). While it is closed it doesn't show ads and you don't add earnings.
• You can sign out from the app and uninstall it like any other app on your Mac.
• To delete your account, write to us. Today it can't be done from the app.
