Pressflex LLC, operator of the Blogads.com web site, ("Blogads.com") provides an online advertising sale and display service for publishers of Blogs (the "Service"). We sell "Advertiser(s)" the right to place advertisements ("Blogad(s)") via the Service into a Javascript ("Adstrip") that is then sent to and displayed on one or more web sites of our network of Blog publishers ("Publisher(s)") and managed by such Publishers. The Service runs on software developed and hosted by Pressflex LLC, its subsidiaries and third party contractors. Blogads are viewed by members of the public ("User(s)"), who access any of our Publishers’ Blogs via the World Wide Web.
