Platform Rules & Disclaimers
Official guidelines governing bidding eligibility, rank suppression, payment terms, and liability.
Rule 1: Bidding Platform Qualification & Rank Suppression
WhosBidding is exclusively reserved for bidding platform startups. If an entry is submitted for a non-bidding product, standard SaaS, personal portfolio, or unrelated URL, administrators reserve the absolute right to suppress and hide the entry from the public leaderboard rank list. No refunds are issued for suppressed non-qualifying entries.
Rule 2: Minimum Bid & Surpassing Model
The initial minimum bid starts at $1.00. To claim the #1 rank, a bid must equal or exceed the target bid threshold ($1.00 above the current leader). Bidders pay 100% of the target bid amount per transaction.
Rule 3: Paddle Merchant of Record & Payment Finality
All transactions are securely billed and processed by Paddle.com, our official Merchant of Record. All sales are final once confirmed by Paddle. Because dataset recalculation and ranking execution occur instantaneously, standard refunds are not provided, as outlined in our Refund Policy.
Rule 4: Community Submissions & Non-Affiliation
Because bids are anonymous and account-free, any public startup may be placed by any third-party bidder. Inclusion on WhosBidding does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or authorization by the target startup owners.
Rule 5: Legal Compliance & Governance Links
