Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of usurper.lol (the “Service”), including the public leaderboard, product pages, checkout, and related features. By using the Service, creating a listing, or completing a payment, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree, do not use the Service and do not pay for a ranking.

Operator and contact

The Service is operated by the team behind usurper.lol, based in India (“we”, “us”, “our”). The Service is provided from https://usurper.lol.

These Terms work together with the public rules shown on the site. If the rules and these Terms conflict, these Terms control.

What the Service is

usurper.lol is a paid public ranking. You may pay to list a product website or an X profile and to occupy a rank based on the amount paid, according to the rules. Listings are paid advertisements, not editorial reviews, certifications, endorsements, or independent rankings.

A payment buys a chance to appear on the board at the rank that bid can take at the time it is fulfilled. It does not buy traffic, clicks, customers, revenue, exclusive placement, a fixed duration at a specific rank, search-engine ranking, or any particular result. Someone else can pay more and outrank you. Rank is based on the total amount paid on a listing over the life of the board; the highest cumulative bid wins, and ties are broken by seniority (whoever reached the board first ranks higher). We may change, pause, or discontinue features, including categories and ranking formulas.

Eligibility

Payments, Dodo Payments, and taxes

Checkout is processed by Dodo Payments, our Merchant of Record. We do not collect or store full payment-card numbers. Dodo Payments’ terms and privacy notice also apply to the payment itself. Amounts are priced in US dollars. Applicable taxes, including GST where relevant, may be added at checkout.

Bid amounts, minimums, and increments are shown before you pay: a new listing starts from a minimum bid, and you beat any position by paying $1 more than it. When you raise your own listing, you pay only the difference from your current cumulative bid. Bids are in whole US dollars. Completing checkout is an offer to buy ranking placement on those terms. Rank is assigned when payment is confirmed and the listing is written to the board, at whatever position that bid then supports.

No refunds

All payments are final and not refundable. Ranking placement is a digital service that begins as soon as payment is confirmed: the listing is created or the bid is raised, and the paid amount is counted on the public board. Being outranked later, fewer clicks than you hoped for, a category you dislike, downtime, or a later removal for breach of these Terms does not create a refund.

By completing checkout you request that we start this digital service immediately. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and rules made under it, you acknowledge that the service is fully performed once placement begins. Where a mandatory consumer right cannot be waived, we honor that right. Chargebacks, payment disputes, or reversed payments without a legally required basis are a breach of these Terms; we may remove the listing and refuse future use of the Service.

Listings must have valid details

You may only list a website or X profile that you own or are authorized to represent. For a website listing, the live site must display valid, current company or operator details that identify who is legally responsible for that project: legal name and, where the law that applies to that site requires it, a postal address, a working contact method, and any other required business or tax information. For an X listing, you must be authorized to represent that account, and any website it promotes must meet the same standard.

Details that are missing, fake, incomplete, impersonating someone else, or that we cannot reasonably verify are grounds for removal. We may take down a listing at any time if those details are not in order, without refund.

Your warranties

By submitting a URL, @handle, or payment, you represent and warrant that:

Prohibited listings and use

In addition to the site rules, you may not list or use the Service for:

Our right to remove listings

We may refuse, delay, edit, recategorize, hide, or permanently remove any listing, bid, or related page, with or without notice, including where we believe these Terms, the rules, or the law may have been broken; where a rights holder or a platform complains; where company details are missing or invalid; or where we think the listing creates legal, security, or reputational risk. Removal does not entitle you to a refund.

Fair use and third-party content

To run the board we fetch and display publicly available information about listed destinations: names, @handles, titles, descriptions, logos, favicons, Open Graph images, and X profile names and avatars. We use that material only to identify the listed product or profile on usurper.lol, to show visitors where a paid ranking leads, and to operate, moderate, and improve the Service.

Where Indian law applies, we use third-party names and signs solely to identify the goods, services, or account being listed. That use is intended as honest, descriptive identification under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and as fair dealing under the Copyright Act, 1957, and does not suggest affiliation with or endorsement by the rights holder unless the lister is that rights holder.

usurper.lol, our wordmark, and the look of the Service are ours. You may not copy the Service, scrape the board for a competing ranking product, or use our brand in a way that suggests we endorse you. X, Dodo Payments, DataFast, and other third-party names remain their owners’ property.

License you grant us

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, cache, reproduce, adapt (for sizing, formatting, and ranking display), and publicly display the listing and the public metadata we fetch, for as long as needed to operate, promote, and keep an archive of the Service. You also grant visitors a right to see that listing on the Service. If you want a listing taken down, email hi@whilecoffeebrews.com. Takedown does not undo a completed payment.

Complaints, grievances, and rights notices

If you believe a listing infringes your copyright, trademark, publicity, or other rights, or that a listed site is unlawful, email hi@whilecoffeebrews.com with: (1) your name and contact details; (2) the listing URL or product page on usurper.lol; (3) the destination URL or @handle; (4) a description of the problem; and (5) a statement that the notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act. We may remove or restrict the listing while we review the notice. We may share the notice with the lister. Repeat or abusive notices may be ignored.

In line with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules made under it, you can reach our Grievance Officer at hi@whilecoffeebrews.com. We aim to acknowledge grievances promptly and resolve them within the timelines required by applicable law.

No endorsement, no earnings claims

Appearance on the board is not our opinion of a product. We do not verify that listed companies, claims, prices, or results are true. Social-proof posts and click or visitor counts describe what some people reported or what our systems recorded; they are not a promise that you will get the same outcome. Your results depend on your bid, your destination, timing, and factors we do not control.

Links from the Service to listed sites or X profiles leave usurper.lol. Those destinations have their own terms and practices. We are not responsible for them.

Availability and changes

We provide the Service as-is. It may be unavailable, slow, or incorrect. We may change ranking rules, minimums, categories, or these Terms. If a change is material, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use after a change means you accept the new Terms. For a payment already completed, the Terms in effect at checkout still apply to that payment, except where a change is required by law or needed to address a security or legal risk.

Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors, or that listings, names, images, ranks, or click counts are accurate or complete.

Limitation of liability

We do not limit liability that applicable law says we cannot limit, including liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by our negligence. Subject to that:

Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the operator of usurper.lol and people working on the Service from claims, damages, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising out of your listing, your destination site or profile, your payment or chargeback, your breach of these Terms, or your infringement of someone else’s rights. We may take over the defense of a claim; you will cooperate.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer with a mandatory local law that cannot be displaced, that law still protects you. Subject to that, the courts located in India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.
