Terms of Service

Last updated: 24 August 2026.

The Last Banner Ad is a paid public auction for a single banner placement. By bidding you agree to these terms. This is readable product language, not a guaranteed legal instrument.

What you are buying

Payment purchases temporary current-banner placement. The highest valid paid bid owns the banner until someone else pays a valid higher bid. There is no guaranteed minimum ownership time, no guaranteed number of impressions or clicks, and payment does not guarantee sales or any particular business result.

Auction mechanics

The opening bid is $25 USD. After a paid owner exists, the next public minimum is the greater of $5 more or 10% more than the current paid bid, rounded up to a whole dollar. You may always pay more than that minimum. Examples: $25 → $30, $30 → $35, $50 → $55, $100 → $110. The server, not the browser, decides the valid amount. PayPal is the payment processor.

Starting checkout stores your banner payload for up to 15 minutes so PayPal can finish. Abandoned or failed checkouts do not raise the public price on the site. More than one person may start checkout at the current paid minimum. Immediately before capture we lock the auction and re-check the current paid owner. If your bid is no longer high enough, we do not capture and you are not charged. A later valid higher capture can immediately dethrone the current owner.

History and moderation

When you are outbid, your banner enters the Hall of Fallen Banners as a historical archive. You are responsible for destination sites and must have rights to submitted text and images. Prohibited content includes malware, phishing, scams, illegal products or services, impersonation, hate, harassment, explicit sexual content, deceptive redirects, intellectual-property infringement, and content prohibited by PayPal or likely to create payment-provider or platform compliance problems.

We may hide abusive or prohibited banners. Hiding is not a refund and does not delete paid records. Payment disputes, reversals, or refunds processed through PayPal may change banner status, including removing current ownership.

Images and destinations

Optional banner images are accepted as PNG, JPEG, or WebP up to 2 MB, then re-encoded. We do not allow SVG, HTML, JavaScript, remote image URLs, or other embed code. Destinations must be public https URLs or supported @handles. @handles are treated as links to the corresponding X/Twitter profile.
