1. Understanding ACE Policies
Context
TikTok Advertising aims at maximizing value for people and businesses. We are committed to providing the user a better After Conversion Experience on TikTok. That's why Advertisers on TikTok should be responsible for their ads and business activity. Hence, please comply with the guidelines on this page and check back often for the latest updates.
Additionally, TikTok cherishes the relationship with advertisers and customers, and for the protection of the advertiser's reputation, we will collect feedback from people who make purchases across our Platform. We share this feedback to help you better understand how your business meets customer expectations.
If an advertiser receives a significant amount of negative feedback, we may consider all ads from this advertiser as lower quality, or the advertiser is suspicious of bad intentions. If in cases where feedback indicates an advertiser isn't complying with our ACE policy, the account may lose its ability to advertise. Learn more from "How User Feedback may Impact your Ads", and "Suggestions on Maintaining a Healthy ACE Score".

4. Suggestions on Maintaining a Healthy ACE Account
Here are some best practices for setting customer expectations:
Be clear about what you're selling or offering[Delivery Inconsistency]
Pictures, videos and all other ad creatives should accurately represent what's being sold. Ensure dimensions, sizes, materials and all other aspects of your product delivered to customers are accurately matched with the ad stated.
If you're sourcing goods from suppliers, ensure you maintain quality control and that the goods are shipped on time and as stated on your ad and landing page.
Set clear expectations for shipping[Non Delivery]
Door-to-door shipping time should be accurately conveyed to the user. The shipping information should take processing times, item availability, shipping costs into consideration.
If possible, provide tracking information about shipments so that the customers can track their packages.
Provide necessary customer service
Disclose return, refund and exchange policies advertised on your website.
If you're operating in a different time zone than your customers, be clear about how long it takes to reply back to customer inquiries.
Follow rules for business activity-based Advertising [General Fraud, Data Theft, Body Harm]
Advertisers shall not include misleading or fraudulent information in the advertisements. We encourage transparent and ethical advertising.
The advertisements shall not violate data protection laws or regulations.
