According to the terms and conditions of the offer for Yandex Direct services, advertisers are free to determine the content of their ads and to set the terms and conditions for the placement thereof, and they are fully responsible for the compliance of their advertising with the law. If you have any complaints regarding an ad on Yandex Direct, please contact the advertiser directly. You can find their contact information via a link in the ad.

How to keep your competition from using certain keywords

Keywords are not part of an ad. Keywords are just one of the required conditions for an ad to be displayed. The law does not prescribe any special requirements, limits or restrictions on the use of keywords. This also applies to keywords that fully or partly match any trademark. In addition, Russia's competition law encourages competition and the freedom of economic activity. Yandex does not have the right to decide on the legality or illegality of an advertiser's actions in this situation. Therefore, Yandex does not take part in such disputes. Please, contact the advertiser directly on such matters.

I can't find my ad

If you can't find your ad in Yandex Direct or it is displayed incorrectly, see Display problems.

My site content has been copied

Yandex does not have the authority to delete, supplement or change the content of websites belonging to third parties. You need to address this matter directly with the owners of the websites where you found copied content.

I think that certain activities of an advertised organization violate the law.

The investigation of offenses or crimes, as well as the admission of guilt by third parties of committing offenses or crimes fall outside Yandex's authority. Please contact law enforcement agencies or judicial authorities to address these issues.
