# Sponsored Partner Placement Policy

API Mega List accepts paid sponsored partner collections under a consistent, provider-neutral placement policy.

## Placement Principles

- Sponsored partner collections are non-exclusive unless a written agreement explicitly says otherwise.
- Every partner receives a separate collection so competing catalogs are not mixed together.
- Partner collections receive equal placement in the main README and are ordered alphabetically by partner name.
- A paid placement does not identify a partner as the best, preferred, or exclusive provider.
- Listings are organized by category and title rather than by payment amount.
- Existing partner collection URLs and visibility are preserved when a new partner is added.

## Collection Maintenance

- Each collection states its listing count and source snapshot date.
- Direct links are checked when a collection launches and during scheduled maintenance.
- Entries are matched by stable provider path or identifier when available, because titles can change.
- Unavailable entries may be corrected or removed during maintenance.
- Catalog refreshes and the placement term follow the applicable sponsor agreement.

## Reporting

When referral reporting is available from the provider, API Mega List can share 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day placement summaries with the sponsor. Reportable metrics depend on the provider's dashboard and may include referred visits, registrations, or conversions.
