Terms of Service

Draft. Not legal advice. Review with a lawyer before launch.

Last updated: 24.08.2026

These terms are a contract between you and Suprasanna Ojha ("we", "us", "the operator"), the operator of outrankm.ee ("the site"). By paying for a listing, or by creating or editing one, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not buy a listing.

Operator details:

• Legal name: Suprasanna Ojha

1. What the site is

outrankm.ee is a paid advertising leaderboard. Companies pay to appear on a public board. Position on that board is set by one thing only: how much money you have paid. A higher paid total ranks higher. Where two listings have paid the same total, the listing whose payment settled first ranks higher.

Every listing on this site is a paid advertisement. Nothing on this site is:

• an endorsement, recommendation, or approval of any advertiser;
• a review, rating, test, or quality assessment;
• a certification, accreditation, badge of trust, or vetting result;
• an independent, editorial, algorithmic, or merit-based ranking of any kind.

We do not check whether an advertiser is any good. We do not check whether its claims are true. Rank measures spending and nothing else. Any reader who treats a position on this board as a signal of quality has misread it, and we make no statement to the contrary.

2. How placement works

The mechanics are described in full in our Rules. In summary:

• The minimum payment to enter is $5 USD, and no single charge is smaller than $5.
• To take the number one position you pay $5 more than the current leader's total. To take any other position you pay $1 more than the current holder of that position, subject to the $5 minimum charge.
• All amounts are whole US dollars.
• Payments accumulate. When you top up an existing listing, we charge you only the difference between your current total and your target position, subject to the $5 minimum charge. Paying the minimum can place you above the position you aimed at.
• There is one ranked board. Positions #2 to #10 are the "main card" and #1 is "the belt".
• The daily card closes at midnight UTC. At close, the standings are frozen into a permanent archive page and a new card opens at once. Listings finishing in the top 10 receive an embeddable badge image that links back to the site.
• A separate all-time board never resets. The same payment counts toward both the daily card and the all-time board.

We may change prices, band thresholds, board structure, or close times. Changes apply to future payments, not to money you have already spent.

3. Eligibility

To buy a listing you must confirm all of the following:

• You are at least 18 years old.
• You have the legal capacity to enter this contract, and where you act for a business, the authority to bind it.
• You own the destination URL you submit, or you are authorised by its owner to advertise it.
• You have the right to use every name, mark, and logo that appears in your listing.
• Your listing and its destination comply with our Acceptable Use Policy and with the law that applies to you.

4. Listings, accounts, and the claim token

The site has no user accounts. A listing comes into existence when its first payment settles.

At that moment we show you a secret claim token, once. The claim token is the only way to edit that listing or to top it up later. Treat it like a password.

We cannot recover a lost claim token. We do not store it in a form we can read back to you, and we will not transfer control of a listing to anyone who cannot present it. If you lose it, you lose the ability to change or extend that listing. The listing keeps its paid total and its position; you simply cannot touch it. Losing a claim token is not a ground for a refund.

A listing has these fields:

• a name;
• a one-line tagline;
• a destination URL;
• an optional email address, used only to send you the claim token and to tell you when another listing has passed you.

Per-listing click counts are published publicly on the site. Clicks are deduplicated per viewer per hour.

5. Payment

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. Your card details are handled by Stripe under Stripe's own terms and privacy policy.

Prices are in US dollars. You are responsible for any tax that applies to you, and for any bank, card, or currency conversion fee your provider charges.

A payment gives you nothing until it settles. If a payment fails, reverses, or is never completed, the listing or top-up it was meant to buy does not take effect.

6. All payments are final

All payments are final and non-refundable. Placement is delivered as soon as the payment settles, and it cannot be returned to us.

In particular, none of the following creates any right to a refund, credit, or compensation:

• another advertiser outranks you, at any time, by any amount;
• your position falls, on the daily card or on the all-time board;
• the card closes and a new card opens;
• your band changes, or you fall out of the top 10;
• your listing gets fewer clicks than you hoped, or no clicks;
• the site is slow, unavailable, or broken for a period;
• you change your mind;
• you lose your claim token;
• we remove your listing under section 8.

The narrow cases in which we may issue a refund at our discretion are set out in the Refund Policy. Nothing in this section limits a right you have under mandatory consumer law that cannot be waived.

7. Chargebacks

If you believe a charge is wrong, email [email protected] with your payment reference first. We answer payment questions.

Filing a chargeback or payment dispute instead of contacting us is a breach of these terms. If you do it, we may:

• remove your listing immediately, with no refund of any amount you have paid;
• ban you, your business, and your destination domains from the site permanently;
• recover from you the disputed amount, any fee our payment processor charges us for the dispute, and our reasonable costs of recovery.

We retain the payment record for auditing in every such case.

8. Removal and refusal

We may refuse, edit, suspend, or remove any listing at any time, at our sole discretion, with or without notice, and with or without a stated reason. We do this in particular where a listing or its destination breaches the Acceptable Use Policy, where we suspect fraud or payment abuse, where a rights holder objects, or where a payment provider, host, or authority requires it.

Removal for fraud or policy breach carries no refund.

When we remove a listing, we remove its public display. We retain the underlying payment record for accounting, audit, fraud prevention, and legal defence.

9. No guarantee of uptime or results

We give no guarantee about availability, uptime, response time, or the correctness of any figure on the site. We give no guarantee about traffic, clicks, impressions, conversions, sales, leads, search ranking, or any other commercial result. You may receive no clicks at all.

We may change, suspend, or end the site, any band, the all-time board, the archive, or the badge feature at any time.

10. Your content and the licence you grant

You keep ownership of your listing content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your listing name, tagline, destination URL, and click count, for the purpose of operating and promoting the site.

This licence covers the permanent archive. You accept that once a card closes, the archive page for that card is a permanent public record of who paid what and where they finished, and that we may keep and display it indefinitely, including after your listing is removed from the live board.

You warrant that your content does not infringe anyone's rights and is not unlawful, deceptive, or misleading.

11. Third-party names and marks

Names, brands, and marks shown on the site belong to their owners. We display them nominatively, to identify the advertiser that paid for the listing. Their appearance does not imply any relationship, sponsorship, or approval between that owner and us.

By submitting a listing, you warrant that you own every name and mark in it, or that you are authorised by its owner to use it in advertising. You are responsible for that use. A rights holder may complain to us using the procedure in the Acceptable Use Policy.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or trade usage, to the fullest extent the law allows.

We are not responsible for the content, safety, or lawfulness of any destination site linked from a listing. Visitors follow those links at their own risk.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST DATA, OR LOST GOODWILL.

Our total liability to you, for all claims arising out of or relating to a listing or these terms, is capped at the total amount that listing actually paid to us in the 30 days before the event that gave rise to the claim. Where a listing has paid nothing in that period, our liability is capped at zero.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.

14. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold harmless Suprasanna Ojha, its officers, employees, and contractors, against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, fine, and reasonable legal cost arising from:

• your listing, its content, or its destination site;
• your breach of these terms or of the Acceptable Use Policy;
• your infringement of any third-party right;
• your violation of any law.

15. Consumer note for the EU and the UK

Placement starts as soon as your payment settles. That is the point of the service.

If you buy as a consumer and a statutory right of withdrawal applies to you, you request immediate performance when you buy, and you acknowledge that the service begins at once. Where the service has been fully performed, the withdrawal right is lost. Where performance is only partly complete, any refund is reduced in proportion to what has already been supplied.

This note does not remove any mandatory consumer right you hold under the law of your country of residence.

16. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. We will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes take effect for payments made after we publish them. Your continued use of the site, or any new payment, means you accept the current version.

17. General

• Whole agreement. These terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, the Refund Policy, and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the site.
• Order of precedence. If the Rules page conflicts with these terms, these terms govern.
• Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, we do not waive it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these terms. We may assign them to a successor of our business.
• No partnership. These terms create no agency, partnership, employment, or joint venture.
• Notices. We contact you at the email address on your listing, if you gave one. You contact us at [email protected].

18. Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the law of Estonia, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Estonia have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

If you are a consumer resident in the EU or the UK, this clause does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of your country of residence, or of the right to bring proceedings in your local courts where that law gives it.
