Rules

Plain-English rules for bidding on a DomainThrone homepage. Paying means you agree to these and the Terms.

What you get when you win

A 24-hour homepage placement on that specific parked domain: your URL and pitch shown to visitors.
The clock starts when Stripe marks the payment paid (not when you open Checkout).
You do not get the domain name, DNS, email, WHOIS, SSL cert control, or any ownership rights.
Traffic is whatever the parked domain already gets — we don't promise visits, rankings, or sales.

Minimum bid and step size are shown on each lander (Phase 1 default: $5 minimum, $1 steps, whole dollars).
To take an active throne you must beat the current amount by at least one step.
No refunds. Every successful payment is a sunk cost — including if you are outbid a minute later.
Outbid = previous winner loses the remaining time; the new winner gets a fresh 24 hours.
Equal bids do not displace the current winner.

This is a paid ad / paid placement. Say so clearly if you reuse the creative elsewhere.
Your destination URL must be https, publicly reachable, and not a redirect chain into malware.
Not allowed: NSFW/porn, phishing, malware, scams, counterfeit goods, pharma/cannabis pitches, gambling creatives, hate, harassment, or impersonating brands/people.
We may remove a placement immediately for rules, law, Stripe risk, or trademark complaints — usually without refund when removed for cause.

Mark may vacate any throne, pause bidding, or take a domain offline for maintenance or abuse.
Inventory can change; a domain listed today might not be listed tomorrow.
