Terms of Service — The Sacred Covenant of the Leaderboard

Last updated: May 2026

Welcome, brave soul. You have found FlexWall — the internet's most transparent, most ridiculous, and most honest leaderboard. By using this platform, you enter into a binding agreement with the universe (and also with us, legally speaking).

1. What FlexWall Actually Is

FlexWall is a real-money paid leaderboard. You pay. Your nickname, message, country flag, and amount appear publicly, ranked by donation size. This is not a donation to charity. This is not a raffle. This is a monument to human ego, and we say that with complete admiration.

We are not a charity, an NGO, a savings bank, or a crypto exchange. We are a platform that sells one thing: your name on a list, ordered by how much you paid, visible to everyone on the internet. If that sounds absurd — congratulations, you understand us.

2. Who May Use This Platform

• Humans aged 18 or older (or the minimum legal age in your country, whichever is higher)
• Entities with a legal right to make payments in USD
• People who understand that leaderboard positions are earned, not refunded
• Anyone brave enough to put their name on the internet and say "yes, I paid for this"

We do not accept: minors, robots (the malicious kind), people who plan to dispute obviously legitimate charges, or users from sanctioned jurisdictions under applicable law.

3. The Donation / Payment

Payments are processed securely via Stripe. All transactions are in USD. The minimum donation is $1. By completing a payment, you confirm:

• You are the authorized holder of the payment method used.
• You are making a voluntary, non-refundable payment for a leaderboard listing — not a purchase of goods, charitable donation, or investment.
• Your entry (nickname, message, amount, country) will be displayed publicly and permanently in our database.
• You have not been coerced, tricked, or deceived into this payment by us. (If you were coerced by your friends on a dare — that's between you and them.)

4. Refunds — Or: "But I Changed My Mind"

All payments are final and non-refundable as a general rule. This is because we have already displayed your entry, processed your payment, and your digital immortality has commenced.

Exceptions exist:

• Duplicate charge for the same transaction (technical error): full refund.
• Verifiable unauthorized use of your payment method: we will cooperate with Stripe's dispute resolution.
• Payment successfully processed but entry never appeared due to a confirmed technical failure on our side: credit or refund at our discretion.

"I donated $500 and I am now in second place which is humiliating" is not eligible for a refund. We suggest donating more.

5. Your Entry: What Goes Up, Stays Up

Your nickname, message, country flag, and donation amount are stored permanently in our database and displayed on the leaderboard. We reserve the right to:

• Remove or censor entries containing hate speech, illegal content, doxxing, threats, or content violating applicable law.
• Modify entries that violate these Terms without notice.
• Suspend or ban users who attempt to manipulate the leaderboard through fraud.

We do not guarantee any specific ranking position beyond what the math dictates. If someone donates more than you, they rank above you. That is called capitalism.

6. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of your nickname and message. By submitting them, you grant FlexWall a worldwide, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and promote them on this platform and in marketing materials. If your message goes viral, we reserve the right to be quietly proud.

7. Prohibited Content

The following are not permitted as nicknames or messages:

• Hate speech, slurs, or content targeting people based on protected characteristics
• Threats, harassment, or incitement to violence
• Doxxing or personal information about third parties without consent
• Illegal content of any kind
• Spam, gibberish designed to game our systems, or impersonation of real people
• Anything a reasonable person would find grossly offensive without redemptive purpose

We reserve the right to make the final call on what constitutes prohibited content. We try to be reasonable. Extremely edgy but legal? Usually fine. Actually illegal? Removed immediately, no appeal.

8. Disclaimers

FlexWall is provided "as is." We make no warranties about uptime, permanent availability, or the continued existence of the internet. Leaderboards are live and subject to change as new donors appear. We are not responsible for any psychological distress caused by being overtaken in rankings.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, FlexWall's total liability for any claim arising from use of this platform is limited to the amount you paid in the transaction giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages including but not limited to: wounded pride, existential dread about internet permanence, or arguments with friends about whether this was a "good use of money."

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the platform operator is registered. Disputes will be resolved through good-faith negotiation first, then applicable legal process. We genuinely prefer resolving things by email.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. We will not retroactively change what "non-refundable" means for past transactions.
