Submit your software to FileOasis.com - SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

Currently we do accept software submissions only via PAD files.

Submission Terms

General requirements

• You must be the software author or the person who has been given the right to submit it.
• Submitted PAD files must be error-free and comply with the official PAD specification. Prior to submitting your PAD file please VALIDATE it against the current specification using online PAD validator and also check all URLs (web site, screenshot, icon, program home page, PAD URL, download URL) to ensure that you have specified them correctly. Please take a time to read about the required fields, common mistakes, and useful tips on About PAD page.
• Provide a VALID email address in "Contact Email" field and do NOT use any autoresponders on it so that we could easily contact you to report any issues with your listing! There are other ways to avoid spam, not just by totally ignoring or requiring additional efforts from those who have to mail you.
• Both PAD file and program file must be ALWAYS accessible from your server.
• The download URL should immediately initiate the file download. We generally do not allow links to web pages or information capture forms, redirects to file sharing services (rapidshare, magaupload etc.), other download archives (download.com) etc.
• We accept only free products or functional trial versions allowing users to experience the software adequately, NOT just documentation, slide shows, flash tutorials etc.
• The software interface and its documentation must be IN ENGLISH.
• The software must be free of viruses, trojan horses, bundled adware/spyware and other potentially harmful components.
• The software must provide users with a clear and simple method for its removal.
• Publishers must provide a valuable customer service and assist users with any software related issues. We may remove your listing and blacklist your domain if we receive user complaints or if we feel that users are not provided with an adequate level of customer service and support.
• We reserve the right to reject any submission and remove any software listing from our database for reasons at our own discretion.

Note: Any persisting efforts to deceive or mislead will cause your domain getting blacklisted for all further submissions, and the complete removal of ALL your previously accepted submissions if any. These include, but not limited to:

• Sumbissions of identical or substantially similar software products from different URLs/sites, manipulations in program title or company name,
• Efforts to expedite your submission by providing a backlink URL from other's site or from an orphan (not linked from anywhere) page on your site etc.
• Submitting shareware and other commercialware products as freeware,
• Attempting to artificially affect download counts,
• Fake regular version/release date updates,
• Submitting reviews for your own software products listings or soliciting others to do so,
• Selling software products and services available elsewhere for free,
• Providing incorrect affiliate data or using cheating tricks to prevent affiliate cookies tracking (sumbitting affiliate data for a payment service other than linked from your site and/or within the software product, adding fake affiliate ID to the purchase links on your site etc.). You should understand that participation in affiliate program is OPTIONAL and just gives some advantages to such listings, so if you do NOT want us to be your affiliate, do NOT submit any affiliate data but leave the appropriate fields EMPTY!

The following submission types are NOT accepted:

• Affiliate/Reseller submissions,
• Affiliated desktop lookup tools for online shops & auctions (Amazon, eBay etc.),
• eBooks, tutorials, references, exam tests, certification trainings etc.,
• Software for casino, gambling, trading or betting with real wagering (Online Poker, Forex etc.),
• Online games (Flash, Java etc.),
• Online services,
• Submissions intended to promote a non-software related site or a non-exclusive software site (browser search toolbars & addons, web site loaders & gadgets, screensavers, useless tools etc.),
• Pornography-focused applications (porn media managers, downloaders etc.),
• Software applications producing false positives to encourage users to purchase them (rogue antivirus, antispyware, registry cleaner tools etc.),
• Software bundled with third party advertising (Adware) or tracking components (Spyware),
• Software that requests your email address or other personal information before you can download and/or try it.
• Software with obvious quality or stability issues (crashing, error screens),
• Spamming tools (email extractors, anonymous bulk mailers & messagers, forum/guestbook posters, MFA/doorway page generators etc.),
• Warez, cracks, or any other application types that infringe on any copyrights or international treaties,
• Web scripts of any kind (PHP, ASP, CGI, JavaScript etc.),
• We NO LONGER accept new submissions for screensavers and desktop wallpapers!

Submitting affiliate data

Affiliate Program fields(**) are optional. Participating in our Affiliate Program will add some extra benefits for your software listing - please refer to Promote Your Software page for details.
If you use the latest version of PADGen with already embedded "Affiliates" extension, you can just fill the matching fields in it, in such case the affiliate data will be retrieived from you PAD file automatically.
Currently we provide sales via the following payment services:
RegNow (Our Affiliate ID: 319587; the Product ID example: 1234-1).
Share-It (Our Affiliate ID: 200073111; the Product ID example: 123456 or 300123456).
eSellerate (Our Affiliate ID: AFL6947074265; the Product ID example: SKU123456789000).
Plimus (Our Affiliate ID: 383966; please specify the Contract ID instead of Product ID!).

Do NOT resubmit!

Before submitting a product, please check by searching if it is not already listed on FileOasis.com. If your PAD file is already listed in our DB, please do NOT resubmit it when updating on your server unless you want to add affiliate data for existing listing or expedite your pending submission by adding the backlink URL! Like the avast majority of PAD enabled sites, we DAILY fetch all submitted PAD files from their original URLs and check them for updates! There is only a small fraction of sites requiring manual resubmissions that have a real value, so please do NOT waste your time and money by paying to third party submission services for regular resubmissions! This does not give you any advantages but instead, overbloats our database and requires from us to spend more time on approving new submissions! Therefore we consider all regular resubmissions as SPAMMING and blacklist those domains for all further submissions!
