Ads Placement and Content Requirements

Do not post offers, conditions or information in your ads that violate or promote violations of the laws of Canada or the rights of third parties.

You have the right to post ads only about those goods, services, vacancies, products and other offers (hereinafter referred to as the "product") in respect of which you have all the necessary rights, licenses, registrations, permits, certificates, etc.

Before posting an ad, you must ensure that all elements of the ad are legal (including photos, videos, links to third-party sites where appropriate, etc.). For any violations of the law or the rights of third parties committed by you, you will be solely responsible.

In particular, the use of graphic images (pictures) copied from the Internet, the legality of which you are not sure of - do not use them, otherwise, in case of claims from the copyright holder, we will redirect your contact details for further investigation.

We consider it a gross violation of the rules to place in the ad any information that may be misleading about your product or the terms of your offer.

This also means that the ad must include an up-to-date phone number and email address where you can be contacted.

If your proposal is required by law to contain any information, you must provide it. For example, mortgage brokers and real estate agents are required to indicate the number of the issued license.

You are solely responsible for distributing an ad that lacks the required information or contains false information.

Place ads only about those products for which there is a proper category on allwe.ca.

Ads can be placed within the same category using only one profile (including if you operate within the same company or joint business, family or on behalf of your acquaintances).

It is forbidden to place several products in one ad, unless they form a set or belong to the same category. This means that you can offer brake replacement and car diagnostics in one ad in the "Cars -> Services" category, but not an ad for selling cars. If the ad contains several products that correspond to the same category, a price must be indicated for each product.
We may set limits on the number of ads placed for free for certain categories so that users can see offers from different sellers. If the limit is reached within 30 days before the ad is placed, the subsequent submission of a new or activation of a previously created ad in the relevant categories is possible for a fee, in accordance with the terms of paid ad placement.

You can only place one active listing per product. We consider the placement of repeated ads (duplicates) as a gross violation of the rules.

This means that you cannot place repeated ads (duplicates) about the offer of the same product or service in the same section.

 

You also cannot place repeated ads (duplicates) about the offer of the same product using several profiles (including if you operate within the same company or joint business).

The placement of a repeated advertisement (double) will also be considered if:

  • You will unpublish or delete an ad (including before it expires) and then post a new ad with the same product or service or in a different category;
  • You edit a published listing to replace the featured item with a different one, and then post a new listing that features the original version of the old listing.


If the ad parameters match the similar parameters of another previously placed ad, the later ad is considered repeated and may be blocked.

We use Postal Code to better understand where the business offering services is located. We use this information to better assist others with their search results. For example, if I live in Barrie and you offer a service in Oakville, then it may not be convenient for me. We do not use this information for any other reason.
