Rules

Short version: you pay to sit on a leaderboard, your money burns at 4% a day, and it does not come back.

  1. What you buyA position on a public leaderboard, and a link from it. Your position is your balance; the most money is #1. That's the whole product.
  2. PaymentsThrough Stripe, in whole US dollars, $5 to $10,000 per payment. Non-refundable.
  3. BurnEvery listing loses 4% of its balance every 24 hours, continuously, from the second your payment lands. balance = amount × 0.96days. Half of any balance is gone in 17 days.
  4. #1The top burns at 4% a day, same as you. Nobody holds it; big balances lose the most dollars per day, which is what keeps the top reachable.
  5. Top-upA payment adds to your current balance. You never restart from zero, and getting a position back only ever costs the gap.
  6. RankHighest balance first. Ties go to whoever has been on the board longest in their current run. Time never reorders the board — only a payment, an archival or a removal does.
  7. FloorBelow $1.00 your listing falls off the board. That's normal, not a punishment. We email you 48 hours and 12 hours before. Your page and your link stay up permanently.
  8. Archived$5 or more puts an archived listing back, with the same page and history. There is no deadline.
  9. One per domainOne slot per registrable domain, one per X handle. Your link can point anywhere on that domain. We strip query strings, so affiliate and tracking parameters don't come along.
  10. Anyone can top upIncluding listings they don't own. If you top up one you didn't create, you're giving its owner rank and you can't edit or remove it. Ownership never transfers.
  11. Not listedGambling, betting and casinos. Adult content. Payday, title and other predatory lending. Chat and invite links — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Signal, Messenger. Malware and phishing. The first three get payment processing shut down; that is the whole reason.
  12. RemovedA listing that turns into one of those is removed and its balance forfeited. If we got it wrong at signup and you never should have been charged, we refund you in full.
  13. RefundsPayments are non-refundable; placement starts the instant you pay. EU and UK consumers waive the 14-day withdrawal right at checkout — that's the tick box on the Stripe checkout page, just above Pay, and it's a real legal choice. Two things we refund without argument: a wrongful removal, and a payment that landed on someone else's listing because you both paid for the same domain within seconds. Email us.
  14. ClicksCounted through the board, deduplicated per person per day, capped per address, bot-filtered. Cost per click is total paid ÷ counted clicks, shown once you've had ten. We keep the raw count too and show you both. We never store your visitors' IP addresses.
  15. AccountsThere aren't any. You manage your listing through a link we email you. It expires after 24 hours; ask for a new one any time and it goes to the address that paid first.
