Terms

Plain language, because the money parts matter more than the legalese. Using simp.bid means you accept these.

What a bid actually buys

When you bid, you are paying simp.bid for a ranked listing on a creator’s board. Your position is the total you have spent on that board. Bid more than the person above you and you pass them; bid again later and your total goes up. The minimum bid is $5.

You are buying a place on a leaderboard. You are not buying goods, access, a subscription, or anything from the creator themselves, and a bid does not create any obligation on the creator to acknowledge you, contact you, or do anything at all.

No part of what you pay goes to the creator. simp.bid is the seller and keeps what you pay. Creators are not paid, do not earn a share, and are not our partners or agents. A board is something we publish about a public figure, not a storefront we run on their behalf.

Claiming a board

Anyone can add any creator, so a board may exist before its subject knows about it. Claiming a board proves you control the account it names — normally by posting a code we give you — and gives you say over it: correct the name, the picture or the description, or have the whole thing taken down.

There is no money attached to a claim. Claiming does not pay you and is not a condition of being paid, because nobody is paid.

Don’t want a board about you? Ask us to remove it and we will, whether or not you claim it first, and without needing a reason.

This is not a contest or a game of chance

Nothing here is random and nothing is a prize. Position is decided entirely by the amount spent: the largest total is first, and you can see exactly what it would cost to pass someone before you pay. There is no draw, no odds, no jackpot, and nothing to win — the ranking itself is the whole of what you are buying.

Refunds — the 30-day window

You can ask for a refund within 30 days of your bid, for any reason. Email us and we will send it back. You do not have to justify it.

After 30 days it is at our discretion, and we are generally willing — there is no third party whose money we would have to claw back, because we hold all of it.

Two things are always refundable, whenever you tell us: a payment you didn’t authorise, and a duplicate or failed charge on our side. Those aren’t bids.

Talk to us before opening a dispute with your bank — you will get the same outcome faster, and usually the same day.

A reversed bid comes off the board, off the creator’s total, and out of the public activity feed.

Boards, names and takedowns

Don’t add someone who isn’t a public creator, and don’t use the public message on a bid to harass anybody. Messages and display names are public. We remove boards and messages at our discretion, and we remove any board whose subject asks us to.

Attempting to claim a board you don’t control is fraud, and we treat it that way.

The boring part

simp.bid is provided as-is, without warranty. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability to you is limited to what you have spent with us in the previous twelve months. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

We may update these terms. Material changes to how money works will be announced on the site before they take effect.

Questions about a charge, a board, or a refund — email us and a person will answer.
