7. Google Demand Partner Final Authority & 100% IVT Deductions
PubVelo provides ad monetization infrastructure connected directly to **Google Ad Manager (GAM)**, **Google AdSense**, and upstream programmatic exchanges.
Estimated vs. Final Audited Revenue
All revenue figures displayed inside the PubVelo publisher dashboard during an active calendar month are strictly provisional estimates. Final payable earnings are calculated ONLY after Google and upstream demand partners complete their post-month-end forensic audit and release finalized disbursement records.
- 100% Pass-Through of Invalid Traffic (IVT) Deductions: If Google Ad Manager or any upstream partner flags Invalid Clicks, Bot Impressions, Auto-Refresh exploits, VPN farms, or policy violations on your property, **100% of the resulting revenue deduction, discount, or clawback will be applied directly to your publisher ledger.**
- Zero Platform Liability for Withheld Google Funds: If Google withholds, claws back, delays, or cancels earnings associated with your website, app, or tool links due to traffic quality or policy failures, **PubVelo has ZERO legal obligation or liability to pay out uncollected, clawed-back, or deducted funds.**
- Binding Nature of Upstream Audits: Google's traffic quality determinations, deduction statements, and invalid click audit logs are definitive, final, and non-negotiable.
