TERMS & CONDITIONS

Please read these Terms & Conditions ("Terms") carefully before purchasing, claiming, or contributing to any space on TheWorldsBillboard (the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service - including purchasing space, submitting content, uploading images, or interacting with the canvas - you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service.

BINDING ARBITRATION NOTICE

IMPORTANT: By accessing or using TheWorldsBillboard, you agree that any dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, not in court or by jury. You waive your right to participate in class-action litigation. See Section 14 (Dispute Resolution) for details.

1. DEFINITIONS

In these Terms:

• "We," "Us," "Our" refers to TheWorldsBillboard and its operators.
• "You," "Your," "User" refers to any individual or entity using the Service.
• "Service" refers to the website, canvas, interfaces, tools, and related systems operated by TheWorldsBillboard.

• "Space" refers to the digital area allocated on the Canvas as a result of a purchase or contribution.
• "Content" refers to any image, text, link, or other material submitted for display on a Space.

2. ELIGIBILITY & LEGAL CAPACITY

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction.

• You are legally permitted to use the payment methods you provide.
• Your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including export control laws and sanctions regulations.
• You represent that you are not prohibited from using the Service under applicable sanctions laws.

3. NATURE OF THE SERVICE

TheWorldsBillboard is a digital space-claiming and display service. By contributing, you purchase a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to display approved Content in a Space on the Canvas.

The Service is NOT:

• An investment or financial product.
• A security or profit-sharing arrangement.
• A guarantee of traffic, visibility, engagement, or revenue.
• A promise of permanent placement or perpetual display.
• A guarantee of consistent visibility or absence of UI overlap.

The Canvas is live, dynamic, and subject to change at any time.

4. LIVE LAYOUT, VISIBILITY & UI INTERACTION

You acknowledge and agree that:

• The Canvas layout updates dynamically in real time.
• Your Space may be partially or fully obscured by UI elements (such as drawers, toolbars, or controls) depending on screen size, device type, zoom level, Space size, and Space location.
• Visibility may change without notice as the Canvas evolves.
• No guarantee is made that your Space will always be fully visible.
• UI overlap does not entitle you to a refund or modification.
• When a Space is added to the layout, a border glow effect may briefly appear in colors derived from national flags or regional color palettes. These visual effects are purely aesthetic and do not imply any affiliation, endorsement, or political association with any government, country, or nationality.

5. PURCHASING, CONTRIBUTIONS & FINAL PRICING

5.1 Space Allocation & Pricing

When purchasing or contributing to a Space:

• Space size and allocation are determined by the Service at the time of purchase.
• Percentages shown represent minimum target allocations, not exact guarantees.
• Due to cent-based pricing and rounding, your final percentage may exceed your entered target by a small fraction of a percent.
• The exact pixel ratio occupied by a Space may differ fractionally from the displayed percentage.

5.2 Final Pricing Confirmation

The price displayed on the final Stripe checkout page is the authoritative and binding price. By completing the transaction on Stripe, you agree to that specific amount, regardless of any preliminary estimates shown on the Canvas interface.

You have the right to review the final price before completing payment. If you do not agree to the final price displayed on the Stripe page, you may cancel the transaction and revise your Space size before resubmitting. No payment obligation exists until you complete the Stripe payment process.

5.3 Slippage & Live Data Acknowledgment

You acknowledge that:

• Prices, percentages, and layout data may update milliseconds before or during the checkout process.
• Any value displayed on the Stripe checkout page is the authoritative final value and constitutes your binding agreement.
• Completion of payment on Stripe constitutes acceptance of the final displayed price and terms.

6. CONTENT SUBMISSION & IMAGE UPLOAD RULES

6.1 Content Ownership & Rights

By uploading or submitting Content, you represent and warrant that:

• You own the Content or have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to use and display it.
• If Content includes characters, brands, artwork, profiles, or trademarks created by third parties (e.g., video games, companies, franchises, celebrities), you are fully authorized to use them in this manner, or the use constitutes fair use under applicable law.
• The Content does not infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party.
• The Content complies with all applicable laws and regulations in the United States and your jurisdiction.

6.2 Image Rules

• Maximum file size: 10 MB.
• Aspect ratio adjustment: Your image may be scaled, cropped, or adjusted to fit your purchased Space dimensions.
• Minor formatting: Scaling, cropping, or minor adjustments may occur to match your Space size. The final display will not exactly match your original image dimensions.
• Character & Language Support: TheWorldsBillboard supports all languages and scripts. To protect system integrity, invisible control characters, formatting characters, and non-rendering Unicode characters are not permitted. Length limits apply to all text submissions to ensure proper display and performance.

6.3 License Grant

By submitting Content to the Service, you grant TheWorldsBillboard a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to:

• Host, display, reproduce, and distribute your Content solely in connection with operating and promoting the Service.
• Use your Content in marketing materials or promotional communications about the Service.

This license does not extend to uses outside of the Service or its direct promotion.

6.4 Your Responsibility for Personal Information

You are solely responsible for any personally identifiable information you voluntarily upload or embed in your Content, including but not limited to names, email addresses, phone numbers, or financial information. We strongly advise against uploading sensitive personal data.

If you believe your personal information has been compromised or misused in connection with the Service, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with a detailed description. We will assist with correcting or removing the information where possible. However, once publicly displayed, we cannot guarantee complete removal from third-party sources or cached versions of the internet.

7. PROHIBITED CONTENT

The following are strictly prohibited:

• Explicit sexual content involving minors or child sexual abuse material (CSAM) (zero tolerance).
• Unlawful, abusive, hateful, harassing, or exploitative material.
• Malware, malicious scripts, ransomware, or harmful code.
• Content that impersonates another person or entity.
• Content that violates applicable laws or regulations in the United States or the jurisdiction where accessed.
• Content designed to defraud, deceive, or harm users.

Consequences of Prohibited Content:

Violating Content may be removed immediately without notice. Intentional attempts to evade moderation systems or filters are the sole responsibility of the uploader and may result in refusal of future submissions or account suspension.

8. AUTOMATED CONTENT MODERATION & LIABILITY DISCLAIMER

8.1 Third-Party Moderation Services

TheWorldsBillboard uses third-party automated content moderation and filtering services, including but not limited to:

• AWS Rekognition: Amazon's machine learning service for image analysis and content flagging.
• Google SafeSearch: Google's automated content safety detection system.
• Other similar third-party moderation tools as we update our systems.

8.2 Accuracy Limitations

You acknowledge that:

• Automated moderation tools may occasionally generate false positives (incorrectly flagging safe content as unsafe) or false negatives (failing to flag prohibited content).
• We are not liable for errors, inaccuracies, or delays in automated moderation decisions.
• We do not warrant that these tools will detect all prohibited content or that their classifications are 100% accurate.

8.3 Limited Liability for Moderation Errors

Our sole liability for an automated moderation error (e.g., false positive) is limited to issuing a refund for the rejected Space. You waive all other claims arising from incorrect content flagging, including claims for lost visibility, opportunity cost, or reputational harm.

If you believe your Content was incorrectly flagged, you may submit a counter-notice as described in Section 9 (Moderation & Review).

9. MODERATION, REVIEW & DISCRETION

9.1 Review Process

All submissions are subject to automated and manual review. Approval is not guaranteed.

9.2 Content Decisions

We reserve the right to reject, remove, modify, or relocate any Content or Space at our sole discretion, for any reason, including but not limited to policy, legal, safety, or operational considerations. Decisions are final unless you submit a formal counter-notice as described below.

9.3 Replacement Submissions

If your Content is rejected, you may submit a replacement. However, replacement approval is not guaranteed. Each submission is reviewed independently.

9.4 Notice of Removal & Contact

If we remove Content or reject a submission, we will make reasonable efforts to contact you using the email address associated with your purchase. We may use this contact information to notify you of the removal, the reason for rejection (if available), and information regarding refunds or resubmission options.

10. REFUND POLICY

10.1 Card Payment Refunds

Refunds for card payments (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.) may be issued only if:

1. Automated Rejection: Your Space's Content was flagged as Malicious (false positive) by AWS Rekognition or Google SafeSearch, and we removed it before or shortly after display.
2. Technical Failure: A confirmed technical failure on our platform prevented your Space from being delivered or displayed after payment was successfully processed.

10.2 Card Payment Non-Refundable Cases

No refunds will be issued for:

• Dissatisfaction, change of mind, or buyer's remorse.
• Approved and displayed Spaces (once displayed, the service is considered delivered and complete).
• Layout changes after display.
• Visibility fluctuations, UI overlap, or partial obscuration.
• Delays in payment processing or settlement.
• Third-party payment processor delays or holds.

10.3 Cryptocurrency Payment Refunds

Cryptocurrency payments are final and irreversible by nature.

Refunds for cryptocurrency payments may only be issued at our sole discretion if:

• A confirmed system error on our platform prevented any service delivery whatsoever.

No refunds for:

• Rejected submissions (whether due to Content moderation or technical reasons).
• Dissatisfaction or change of mind.
• Layout changes or visibility issues.
• User error or misunderstanding of the service.

Why: Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Once your cryptocurrency is received, we cannot reverse the transaction at the blockchain level. We will only issue refunds (to a new wallet address you provide) in cases of verified platform errors. Rejected submissions are not considered system failures.

10.4 Refund Processing

• Card Refunds: Processed to your original payment card within 5-10 business days (dependent on your bank/card issuer).
• Crypto Refunds: Processed to a wallet address of your choosing within 3-5 business days.
• Refund Notes: If your submission is rejected, we may include a brief note in the refund indicating the reason for rejection.

11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

11.1 Our IP Rights

Except for user-submitted Content, all elements of the Service - including layout, code, design, branding, Canvas concept, user interface, and all underlying technology - are owned by TheWorldsBillboard or our licensors.

You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of any part of the Service except as permitted by applicable law.

11.2 Your IP Rights & Representations

You retain ownership of your Content. By uploading Content, you grant us the license described in Section 6.3 (License Grant), but you do not transfer ownership to us.

12. AVAILABILITY & MODIFICATIONS

We may, at any time and without notice:

• Modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service (or all of it).
• Update layout logic, design, or functionality.
• Perform maintenance or updates, including emergency maintenance.
• Change pricing, features, or availability.

No guarantee of uninterrupted operation is provided. We are not liable for downtime, service interruptions, or loss of access, including but not limited to internet outages, hosting failures, payment processor downtime, or government actions.

13. DISCLAIMERS & LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

13.1 "As Is" Disclaimer

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

We do not warrant or guarantee:

13.2 Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any and all claims arising from your use of the Service, your Content, payment disputes, or any other matter related to these Terms is strictly limited to the amount you paid for the specific Space giving rise to the claim.

This liability cap applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, etc.) and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of damages.

13.3 No Liability for Indirect Damages

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:

• Lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or lost business opportunities.
• Indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages.
• Reputational harm or damage to goodwill.
• Any damages arising from third-party actions, network issues, or forces beyond our control.

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, GOVERNING LAW & ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

14.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to them or your use of the Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

14.2 Binding Individual Arbitration

Except as stated in Section 14.3, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, not in court and not by a jury. You and TheWorldsBillboard each agree that the arbitrator, and not any court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable.

14.3 Exceptions to Arbitration

The following claims are NOT subject to arbitration and may be brought in court:

• Intellectual property infringement claims (including patent, copyright, or trademark disputes).
• Claims seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent immediate or irreparable harm.
• Claims that cannot be arbitrated under applicable law.

For intellectual property claims, you agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, and waive any objection to venue or forum on the basis of inconvenience.

14.4 Class Action Waiver

You agree to resolve any disputes with TheWorldsBillboard on an individual basis only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable with respect to a particular claim, then that claim must be brought in court and not in arbitration.

14.5 Arbitration Procedure

• Arbitrator and Rules: Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable rules, including the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules for disputes involving individual consumers and the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules for all other disputes, as modified by this agreement.
• Location and Format: Unless you and TheWorldsBillboard agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, or remotely by video conference at the election of either party.
• Language: All arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English.
• Costs and Fees: Each party will bear its own attorney's fees and costs, and the arbitrator's fees and administrative costs will be allocated in accordance with the applicable AAA rules. If the user is an individual consumer, TheWorldsBillboard will pay any arbitration filing fees and administrative costs required by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules in excess of the amount the user would be required to pay to file a claim in a court of competent jurisdiction.

14.6 Notice of Dispute and Informal Resolution

Before initiating arbitration, you must first send TheWorldsBillboard a written Notice of Dispute so that we have an opportunity to resolve the issue informally. The Notice must be sent by email to: [email protected] with the subject line "Notice of Dispute" and must include:

• Your name, email address, and mailing address.
• A detailed description of the dispute and all relevant facts.
• The specific relief you are seeking.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

TheWorldsBillboard will respond within 30 days. You and TheWorldsBillboard will then have 30 days from the date of the response (or 30 days from when a response was due) to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If the dispute is not resolved within this period, either party may initiate arbitration.

14.7 Confidentiality

The parties agree to keep the arbitration proceedings, all related materials, and the arbitrator's decision confidential, except as necessary to enforce the award, as required by law, or as otherwise agreed in writing.

14.8 Severability

If any portion of this Section 14 is found unenforceable, that portion will be severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law. If the class action waiver in Section 14.4 is found unenforceable as to any claim, then Section 14.2 (Binding Individual Arbitration) will be unenforceable as to that claim, which must then be brought in court rather than in arbitration.
