Every payment is final. You are buying a position on a public board, and being overtaken is how the board works — it is not a fault, and it is not refundable.
Your stake is permanent. It never expires and is never returned. What changes is your rank, when someone else pays more.
Anyone can pay to raise anyone's listing. Payments made by someone other than the owner are shown publicly on that listing.
Listings appear immediately. They are screened automatically first, and anything the screen is unsure about waits for a person before it goes up — you are not charged while it waits.
Anyone can report a listing. Enough independent reports hold it for review. A listing we remove stops sending traffic straight away.
Removal and refund are separate decisions. A listing that broke this policy after taking real clicks is not automatically owed its money back.
Clicks are counted once per visitor per day, and known bots are excluded. The figure on the board is the same one you see on your own listing — there is no flattering private number.
We do not store visitors' IP addresses. Deduplication works from a one-way hash that cannot be read back.
