1. Agreement and operator
Terms version 2026-08-24.1, effective 2026-08-24.
These Terms govern your use of OWNTHEDAY. By creating an account or using the service, you accept these Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy. If you act for an organization, you confirm that you can bind it.
You must be at least 18, have legal capacity to contract, and use the service only where it is lawfully offered.
2. What the service provides
OWNTHEDAY displays a rolling calendar of public sponsorship placements. A successful claim buys: (a) an immediate period of public placement after confirmed payment and applicable checks; (b) a permanent entry in that date’s takeover history; (c) campaign analytics as described in the applicable plan; and (d) generated sharing assets when available.
A claim is advertising or sponsorship inventory. It is not legal ownership of a date, real or virtual property, a security, investment, lottery entry, prize, refundable auction bid, or guarantee of traffic, clicks, sales, reputation, or exclusivity outside the OWNTHEDAY placement.
3. Claims, takeovers, and closing
- An unclaimed eligible date begins at USD $5.
- A takeover costs 1.5 times the previous successful claim, rounded upward to the nearest USD $0.50.
- The authoritative quote is calculated by our server and displayed before checkout; browser-supplied price information is disregarded.
- A checkout reservation lasts up to five minutes and does not itself confer sponsorship rights.
- New reservations close at 23:55 UTC on the day before the sponsored date. No checkout may settle after 00:00 UTC for that date.
- The final successfully fulfilled claim at 00:00 UTC becomes the archived winner.
Payment authorization alone does not establish ownership. A claim is active only after we verify payment, reservation validity, amount, date version, and automated safety checks. If a valid payment cannot be fulfilled because the inventory is no longer available, we will issue a full refund to the original payment method.
4. Payments, tax, and refunds
Prices and applicable taxes are shown before purchase. You authorize our payment processor to charge the stated total. You are responsible for accurate billing information and any taxes you must self-assess. We may use Stripe or a successor processor; its terms also apply to payment handling.
A fulfilled sponsorship service begins immediately after confirmed payment and applicable checks when you expressly request immediate performance. If you buy as a consumer and withdraw after performance has begun, applicable law may require you to pay for the proportion already supplied; any withdrawal right is lost only once the service is fully performed and only where the law allows. Claim and takeover payments are otherwise non-refundable unless we cannot fulfill a valid payment or law requires a remedy. Contact [email protected] to exercise a mandatory right or ask whether it applies. We may refund, reverse, or cancel a transaction to address fraud, sanctions, technical error, safety, infringement, or legal obligations.
Chargebacks do not replace our support process. We may preserve checkout disclosures, accepted terms, delivery logs, sponsor-placement snapshots, timestamps, and relevant security records to respond to a dispute.
5. Subscriptions
Free, Creator, Brand, and Agency plans provide management features; they do not include claim spend or influence public claim pricing. Paid subscriptions recur monthly until cancelled. We will state the billing interval, price, tax, renewal date, and cancellation method before purchase. Cancellation stops future renewal and access continues through the paid period unless law requires otherwise. For consumers, cancellation of renewal is separate from any statutory withdrawal right. When you expressly request immediate access during a withdrawal period, applicable law may require payment for the proportion supplied before withdrawal; the right is not lost merely because access starts. Plan limits, entitlements, and changes are described on the pricing page.
We may change subscription prices on advance notice required by law. A material reduction to paid functionality will not apply mid-period without an appropriate remedy. Lifetime plans are not offered.
6. Sponsor content and licenses
“Sponsor Content” includes the name, description, destination URL, and public logo, sharing image, title, and metadata OWNTHEDAY retrieves from the HTTPS website you provide, together with any fallback visual we generate from that information. You retain any ownership you hold in Sponsor Content. You direct us to retrieve it and grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, resize, re-encode, moderate, display, distribute, and create share cards from it as needed to operate, secure, market, and document the purchased placement. This license continues for archived placement snapshots and financial or audit records after your active placement ends.
You promise that you control the destination website or otherwise have all necessary rights, permissions, advertising substantiation, and regulatory approvals for Sponsor Content; that links and claims are accurate; and that Sponsor Content complies with law and the Acceptable Use Policy. Do not expose personal data through public website metadata unless you have permission to publish it.
7. Moderation, reports, and intellectual property
We may automatically scan, substitute a safe fallback for, restrict, or remove Sponsor Content. Removing a website visual does not erase the payment or ownership history. We can freeze dates or accounts where needed for safety, legal compliance, payment risk, or platform integrity.
Rights holders may submit a documented trademark or copyright complaint to [email protected]. Complaints should identify the right, challenged content and URL, good-faith basis, contact details, and authority to act. We may notify the sponsor and provide an appeal path unless prohibited. Fraudulent complaints may result in restriction.
8. Accounts and security
You must keep credentials secure, provide current information, and promptly report suspected compromise. Workspace owners control member access and are responsible for actions taken under invited accounts. We may require email verification, MFA, identity or business checks, rate limits, or risk challenges. You may not evade reservation limits, manipulate analytics, interfere with finalization, scrape private data, or attempt unauthorized access.
9. Availability and changes
We aim to operate a reliable service but do not promise uninterrupted access. Maintenance, provider failures, security incidents, legal requirements, or force majeure may delay display, analytics, notifications, or share assets. Server records control where a client view is stale. We may change or retire non-material features and will give reasonable notice for changes that materially affect paid services.
10. Disclaimers and liability
To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties not capable of exclusion and do not guarantee campaign results, audience conduct, third-party links, or continued availability of a particular date before checkout fulfillment. Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable consumer rights.
Subject to mandatory law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss, or lost profit, revenue, goodwill, or data.
11. Business-user indemnity
If you use the service for business purposes, you will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your Sponsor Content, destination, unlawful advertising, infringement, or material breach, except to the extent caused by us. Consumer users are not subject to this clause where such an indemnity would be unlawful or unfair.
12. Suspension, termination, and records
You may stop using the service and cancel subscriptions at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for material breach, fraud, payment risk, sanctions, safety risk, or legal requirement, using notice and an opportunity to cure where appropriate. Clauses concerning payments, licenses for archived records, intellectual property, disputes, liability, and audit retention survive. Account deletion does not require deletion of immutable financial, fraud-prevention, or legal records where retention is permitted or required.
13. Governing law and disputes
Nothing restricts a consumer’s mandatory right to bring proceedings or use an alternative dispute body in their home jurisdiction where applicable.
14. Changes and contact
We will post updated Terms and identify their effective date. Material changes will receive reasonable advance notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance only where lawful; otherwise we will seek consent. Questions, notices, cancellation help, and complaints: [email protected].
