Terms of Use

Short, because there is not much to it. Rank is money, and money is public.

The agreement

Using AppRanker means you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not submit a listing and do not pay for a rank.
AppRanker is operated by AppRanker. There are no accounts, so these terms attach to your use of the site and to any payment you make on it.
You must be old enough to enter a binding contract where you live, and you must be allowed to make the payment you are making.

One US dollar buys one point. A listing's rank is its total points, highest first. Nothing else moves it.
Points never expire and never decay. A listing keeps everything it has ever paid.
Equal points keep the order they arrived in: the listing that got there first stays ahead. Passing someone therefore costs at least $1 more than they hold.
Rank is a public, mechanical sort. It is not a review, an endorsement, a quality signal, or a claim that a listing is any good.

Bids are whole US dollars. New listings start at $5.
A listing already on the board can be raised for as little as $1. You only pay the difference, never the full rank price again.
A listing tops out at 999,999 points.
Rank is applied when the payment clears, not when checkout opens. Two people can chase the same rank; whoever pays first gets it, and the other pays for the points they bought rather than the rank they wanted.
Payments are handled by Polar, which is the merchant of record. AppRanker never sees a card number.
Bids are final and non-refundable. A bid buys a position on a public board, and that position is delivered the moment the payment clears.
A rank can be taken from you at any moment by someone paying more. That is the point of the board, and it is not a defect, an outage, or grounds for a refund.

Public app listings only, from Chrome Web Store, Edge Add-ons, Firefox Add-ons, Google Play, and App Store. Paste the store link or the raw ID.
One listing per app. Everyone who pastes the same app lands on the same listing, and every payment on it adds to the same pile of points.
App name, icon, and description come from the store. You do not write them and you cannot edit them.
Tracking parameters are stripped from submitted links. Clicks route through /r/<id> so the click counts stay honest.
Apps removed or delisted from their store are removed from the board.

Anyone can pay to raise any public listing, including one they do not own. Points on a listing say that someone paid, not that the developer endorsed it.
Do not submit apps that are unlawful, that infringe someone else's rights, or that are already in breach of their own store's policies.
Do not attempt to inflate click counts, script the checkout, scrape the board at a rate that degrades it, or otherwise interfere with how the ranking works.
Do not use AppRanker to imply an affiliation with, or approval by, an app or its developer.

App names, icons, descriptions, and store trademarks belong to their respective owners and are shown only to identify the listing they point at.
If you own an app and want its listing off the board, or you believe a listing infringes your rights, write to [email protected] and say which listing and why.

A listing can be removed if its app is delisted, if it is unlawful, or if it breaches these terms. Points paid on a listing removed for cause are not refunded.
AppRanker may also stop taking bids, change the economics for future bids, or close the board entirely. Points already bought keep the rank they bought for as long as the board is up.

The site is provided as is. There is no promise of uptime, of traffic, of clicks, of installs, or of any commercial result from holding a rank.
Listing metadata comes from third-party store data and can be stale, incomplete, or wrong. It is shown as received.

To the extent the law allows, AppRanker is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profit, lost traffic, or lost business arising from use of the board.
Where liability cannot be excluded, it is capped at the total amount you paid to AppRanker in the twelve months before the claim.
Nothing here limits liability for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

These terms can change. The date at the top of this page is when they last did, and the version published here is the one that applies.
Questions about a listing, a payment, or these terms go to [email protected]. How the site handles data is covered in the privacy policy.
