IMMUTABLE TERMS ARCHIVE
A SMALL BOARD WITH CLEAR BOUNDARIES.
Service
42 SPOTS operates time-limited sponsored product boards. By submitting a bid, you agree to these Terms, the Auction Rules, and the Privacy Notice.
Operator and billing identity
42 SPOTS is operated as a Redct.Ai service. Card statements may show REDCT.AI. Payment, policy, and service questions may be sent to info@redct.ai.
Your authority and content
You confirm that you can advertise the submitted product and grant 42 SPOTS a limited, non-exclusive license to display the submitted name, copy, destination, and approved brand assets for operating and promoting the board. You remain responsible for accuracy, legality, rights, and destination security.
Authorization and eligibility
Flash — Minimum bid: $0.50. Main — Minimum bid: $4.20. Both boards accept bids in $0.01 increments. Your card is authorized for the exact bid amount. Eligibility depends on Stripe’s authorization timestamp being inside the published bidding window; starting Checkout or receiving a delayed webhook does not change that timestamp. A bank may show a temporary hold even when no money is captured. Stripe, the payment network, and your bank control authorization availability and release timing.
Creative approval and human settlement
Payment never guarantees acceptance. We may reject or remove unsafe, deceptive, infringing, illegal, discriminatory, adult, gambling, malware, impersonation, short-link, affiliate, or otherwise unsuitable content. A human must initiate settlement before a winning authorization can be captured.
Ranking and public position states
Ranking follows the published Auction Rules and freezes when settlement begins. Each live sponsored board has 42 fixed positions. Captured winners display as Sponsored; positions without a captured sponsor display as Available; failed winning captures display as Unfilled at their original ranks and are never backfilled. Payment-indeterminate positions display as Verifying without advertiser identity, bid amount, or bidding control. An Available position cannot be reserved in the running cycle; BID FOR NEXT BOARD competes in the currently open successor round identified at Checkout. Editorial 42 cards are separate and never fill sponsored positions. Rejected, losing, late, and missed-round authorizations are released.
Fixed delivery
A successful capture purchases one sponsored card for the scheduled board window identified at Checkout. Flash display is fixed at 12:00–12:42 PM Central on its weekday. Main display is fixed to its scheduled start and lasts exactly 42 hours. Capture or operational delay never shifts or restarts that window.
Missed and partially sponsored boards
If settlement does not begin before the scheduled display, nobody is charged and no paid board appears for that round. A live board may have Available or Unfilled positions because it received fewer eligible bids, creatives were rejected, authorizations failed, or captures failed.
No performance promise
We do not guarantee impressions, unique visitors, clicks, conversions, revenue, search-engine benefit, publicity, or continued operation. The current service does not provide advertiser click analytics.
Refunds
Losing, rejected, late, failed, or missed-round bids are not captured and therefore do not need refunds. Captured placements are generally final once service begins, except for duplicate capture, proven service failure, or removal solely by 42 SPOTS without advertiser breach. Network hold-release timing is not a refund.
Future changes and liability
We may change future schedules, minimum bids, increments, or rules with notice before their bidding window opens. Published windows already accepting bids remain governed by their accepted version. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided as available and liability is limited to the amount you paid for the affected placement. These Terms do not waive rights that cannot legally be waived.
