Payment Terms

Counsel-review draft. These pages describe how the campaign works and how we protect the operator and the advertising product. They are not a substitute for advice from a licensed lawyer in your jurisdiction. Last updated: August 28, 2026 1. Currency All contributions are in USD. 2. When money counts Payments affect the leaderboard ONLY after: • secure confirmation / capture from the payment provider (e.g. PayPal), OR • an administrator verifies a manual invoice / bank transfer A browser “success” or return page alone is NEVER enough. 3. Payment states Tracked states include: Pending, Processing, Paid, Failed, Cancelled, Refunded, Partially refunded, Disputed, Chargeback, Invalidated. Only eligible verified funds count toward rank. 4. Providers PayPal (and any future providers) apply their own user agreements. Chargebacks are handled under provider rules. We do not store raw card numbers. 5. Manual / invoice Manual bank transfer or invoice payments stay Pending until the operator confirms receipt. They do not move the board while Pending. Large advertisers may request invoice terms. 6. Taxes You are responsible for your own taxes, VAT, reporting, and corporate approvals. Prices shown are the advertising contribution amounts in USD unless we expressly say otherwise. 7. Fraud We may block, reverse, or invalidate payments tied to fraud, sanctions risk, or abuse. Invalidated funds do not count. 8. Records Every payment has a transaction record and audit history. The operator’s records control for ranking disputes.
