Paid Services and Purchase Terms

1. What you purchase

Each purchase is a one-time contribution to a selected product's bid total for one identified weekly cycle. Completed, unrefunded contributions determine that product's position for the cycle under the public ranking rules. The upcoming board is ordinarily displayed for seven days beginning Wednesday at 00:00 UTC and may later remain in the archive.

A bid is a promotional ranking service. It is not a donation, deposit, stored value, virtual currency, security, investment, lottery, wager, subscription, ownership interest, or purchase of the linked third-party product. No financial return or prize is offered.

2. Purchase eligibility and authority

You must be at least 18, have reached the legal age of majority where you live, be legally capable of entering a binding contract, and be authorized to use the selected payment method. If purchasing for an organization or another person, you represent that you have authority to bind them and publish the submitted product information.

You are responsible for ensuring the product, destination, description, icon and promotion are lawful and comply with the Terms of Service, advertising and consumer-protection rules, third-party rights, sanctions, and any industry-specific requirements. We or Waffo may refuse or review a transaction for legal, compliance, fraud, payment-network, content, or security reasons.

3. Bids, charges, currency and taxes

• Bids are denominated in United States dollars and must use whole-dollar target amounts.
• A new product may enter a weekly cycle at the displayed minimum, currently $2 USD. A product already in that cycle must select at least the current displayed minimum required by the ranking rules.
• When a product already has a paid total in the same cycle, checkout charges only the positive difference between the selected target and that product's fulfilled total when the checkout intent is created.
• The minimum, competing totals and predicted position may change before checkout is created. The checkout page shows the charge submitted for payment.

Waffo acts as merchant of record. Waffo may calculate, collect and remit applicable VAT, GST, sales tax or similar charges, and the final checkout total may include taxes or legally required adjustments. Review the currency, contribution, tax, total, merchant, and payment method shown by Waffo before authorizing payment.

We may change minimums or pricing rules for future checkout intents. A change does not alter a checkout already completed, except for a lawful tax correction, refund, reversal, dispute, or processing error.

4. Checkout, authorization and confirmation

Checkout opens on Waffo in a new tab. A checkout session is generally valid for fifteen minutes. wintop stops creating new sessions during the final fifteen minutes before the weekly boundary. A session, preview or payment authorization does not reserve a rank.

By submitting payment, you authorize Waffo and its payment partners to charge the displayed total and perform fraud, compliance, tax, identity, payment and risk checks. Their customer terms and privacy practices also apply to information and services they control.

A transaction is accepted by wintop only after a valid signed Waffo order.completed event matches the checkout intent, amount, product, currency, weekly cycle, and unexpired session. A pending authorization, bank notice, screenshot, checkout return page, or client-side success message is not final fulfillment. Duplicate events or orders are fulfilled only once.

5. Fulfillment and dynamic ranking

After confirmed payment, the contribution is added to the product's total for the assigned cycle. The product details you reviewed at checkout become the public listing snapshot, and the icon is stored separately when available. A delayed but valid payment event may be applied to its correct cycle after the board switches.

Positions are dynamic. Other products may pay before or after you, the same product may receive additional support, refunds may remove contributions, and deterministic tie-breakers apply. The final or later position may differ from any preview. Taxes do not increase the bid total. A successful refund removes only the refunded contribution from its assigned cycle and may change current or archived ranks.

Subject to mandatory law, the service is considered delivered through valid entry into the selected ranking calculation, public display during the applicable cycle when eligible, and associated archive and redirect functions. Temporary maintenance or immaterial variations do not by themselves make the service undelivered.

6. Product content and moderation

You must review the title, description, icon and destination before payment. Automatic metadata is a convenience and may be incomplete or inaccurate. You grant the content license and make the representations stated in the Terms of Service.

Payment does not require us to display prohibited, unlawful, infringing, deceptive, unsafe, unavailable, or technically harmful content. We may reject or remove a listing or destination as permitted by the Terms of Service. Where the underlying purchase cannot lawfully or materially be provided because we reject content that complied when submitted, we will provide the remedy required by applicable law. No refund is promised where removal results from your breach, fraud, chargeback, or lack of rights, except where law requires otherwise.

7. Cancellations, refunds and mandatory rights

Before payment confirmation, you may close the checkout or let the session expire without charge, subject to any temporary authorization handled by your payment provider. After payment, purchases are generally final once the requested ranking service has begun, because rank capacity, calculation and public display are time-sensitive.

You may request review for a duplicate or incorrect charge, unauthorized transaction, technical failure that prevents fulfillment, material mismatch between the purchased and delivered service, or another basis required by applicable law. Email bonatokenl@gmail.com promptly with the order or intent identifier, purchase date, amount, product, reason, and supporting evidence. Do not send complete card details or security codes.

Nothing in these Payment Terms waives a non-excludable cancellation, cooling-off, refund, chargeback, or consumer right. If your law gives you a right to cancel a digital or promotional service, its scope and any exception for service begun at your request will apply as required by that law. Waffo, as merchant of record, may issue refunds required by law, payment-network rules, fraud controls, its customer terms, or the applicable refund decision.

Approved refunds are returned through the original payment method unless law or Waffo permits otherwise. Bank and payment-network processing times vary. We do not provide cash, site credit, or transfer a bid to a different product or cycle unless we expressly agree or law requires it.

8. Service interruption and remedies

If a verified payment is not applied, contact support so we can reconcile the signed order. If an outage materially prevents the purchased product from participating in or being displayed for the applicable cycle, we may, as appropriate and subject to law, restore service, correct the record, provide comparable display, or arrange a full or proportionate refund. The legally required remedy controls where applicable.

We are not responsible for a payment failure, delay, rejection, currency conversion, bank fee, or temporary authorization caused by Waffo, a bank, payment network, device, browser, connectivity provider, or incorrect information outside our reasonable control, but we will reasonably assist with records we control.

9. Chargebacks and payment disputes

Contact us first where practical so we can investigate. A chargeback is not a substitute for a refund request where the charge was authorized and the service was properly delivered. You must not knowingly make a false dispute, use an unauthorized payment method, or seek both a refund and chargeback for the same amount.

Waffo manages merchant-of-record payment disputes and may share relevant order, fulfillment, listing, device, fraud and communication records with banks, networks, advisers or authorities. A refund, reversal or chargeback removes the corresponding contribution and may change the product's rank. We may restrict future purchases associated with fraud, abusive disputes, or material breach.

10. Support, records and changes

Keep your Waffo receipt, order identifier, checkout intent identifier and the product URL. We maintain transaction and fulfillment records as described in the Privacy Policy and may correct clerical, ranking, payment, tax or technical errors while preserving mandatory rights.

We may update these Payment Terms prospectively. The version accepted when a purchase is made governs that purchase unless a later change is required by law or you expressly agree to it. If any provision conflicts with mandatory consumer law, that law controls and the remaining provisions continue.

The dispute, governing-law, warranty and liability provisions in the Terms of Service apply to paid services. Waffo's terms govern the payment and merchant-of-record services it provides; these Payment Terms govern the wintop ranking service. Mandatory customer protections prevail over conflicting contract terms.
