These terms cover paying for a ranked seat on Hotseat. Read them before you bid.
Hotseat sells a one-time ranked placement at the posted price. The price is $1.00 to open, then exactly $1.00 more than the current #1. You cannot jump the price.
A listing joins the board only after payment is confirmed. Starting checkout or returning to Hotseat does not reserve a rank.
Every confirmed seat stays publicly ranked and directly clickable while Hotseat operates. The highest confirmed bid is featured as #1. New confirmed bids may move earlier seats down. Outbid seats stay on the board and are not refunded.
The only automatic refund is a stale racing payment: if another checkout confirms first and this payment cannot join the board, that charge is refunded. Being outbid is not a refund.
Clicks are outbound redirects through Hotseat. Repeat clicks count. Public counts are recorded redirects, not promised visits or sales.
No traffic, click, impression, rank, permanence, or revenue guarantees.
You must submit a public https URL you are allowed to advertise. Hotseat may hide or refuse a listing that is unlawful, misleading, or unsafe. The board title is the website host.
The live rules are on /rules. Material changes to how bids, ranks, clicks, or refunds work are posted there. These terms do not create a permanent placement.
