By accessing or using ShowBuild, you agree to be bound by these Terms. ## About ShowBuild ShowBuild is a community board where indie makers and founders submit the products and projects they are building, discover new tools, upvote listings, and earn verified do-follow backlinks. ## Eligibility You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf. ## Product submissions You may only submit a product, website, project, or other property that you own or are authorized to represent. You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate and up to date. We may refuse, edit, delay, hide, or remove a submission if we believe it: - Violates these Terms or applicable law. - Infringes another person's intellectual-property rights. - Contains misleading or fraudulent information. - Contains malware, phishing, or harmful content. - Creates a security, legal, or reputational risk for ShowBuild. ## Your responsibilities By submitting content to ShowBuild, you represent that: - You have the right to submit the content. - The information you provide is accurate. - Your submission does not infringe another person's rights. - Your product or website complies with applicable laws. - You are not impersonating another person, company, or brand. - Your submission is not fraudulent, deceptive, or malicious. ## Prohibited use You may not use ShowBuild for: - Illegal or fraudulent activities. - Malware, phishing, scams, or deceptive websites. - Content that exploits children. - Harassment, threats, or unlawful hateful content. - Copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property infringement. - Unauthorized financial, medical, gambling, weapons, or other regulated activities. - Attempting to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to the Service. - Scraping or automated access that places unreasonable load on the Service. - Manipulating rankings, upvotes, views, clicks, comments, or other metrics (including through bots, scripts, upvote rings, incentivized voting, or fake, duplicate, or disposable "temp mail" email accounts). - Reverse engineering the Service except where permitted by mandatory law. ## Paid features, payments, and refunds ShowBuild offers optional paid listing upgrades, including Pro Listing ($5 one-time) and Showcase Plus ($15 one-time), designed to accelerate product visibility, grant direct permanent do-follow backlinks, and unlock dedicated SEO showcase pages. **Merchant of Record:** Payments are processed by our payment processor and Merchant of Record, Dodo Payments (Dodo Payments Inc.). When you purchase a paid feature, you agree to Dodo Payments' terms and conditions in addition to these Terms. **Immediate performance & final sales:** Because paid features provide immediate digital execution and permanent placement (instant bypass of interaction requirements, verified do-follow backlink, and live SEO showcase page access), all sales are final. **Refund Policy:** All purchases and refund requests are governed strictly by our [Refund Policy](https://showbuild.co/refund/). Refunds are granted only in limited exceptional circumstances, such as verified duplicate charges or delivery failure on our side. **Forfeiture for abuse:** If your account or listing is suspended or removed for violating our Terms (including fraudulent voting manipulation, chargeback abuse, or submitting malicious content), you forfeit all rights to a refund for any paid feature. ## Content and listings When you submit content to ShowBuild, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, display, format, and adapt that content as reasonably necessary to operate and promote the Service. This license continues for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the Service, subject to applicable law. You retain ownership of the content you submit. ## Third-party websites ShowBuild may contain links to third-party websites, products, platforms, or services. These third parties operate independently from ShowBuild and have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, security, accuracy, content, or practices of third-party websites. ## No endorsement Being listed or featured on ShowBuild does not constitute an endorsement, certification, verification, or guarantee by ShowBuild. We do not guarantee the accuracy of claims, prices, products, companies, or results associated with a listing. ## Availability and changes We provide ShowBuild on an "as is" and "as available" basis. The Service may occasionally be unavailable, interrupted, delayed, or contain errors. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the Terms were most recently changed. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the updated Terms. ## Disclaimers To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ShowBuild disclaims all warranties, express or implied, relating to the Service. We do not guarantee that: - The Service will always be available. - The Service will be error-free or secure. - Listings will receive traffic, clicks, customers, or revenue. - Information displayed on the Service will always be accurate or complete. ## Limitation of liability To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ShowBuild will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, customers, goodwill, or business opportunities. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law. ## Indemnity You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ShowBuild and its operators from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable expenses arising from your use of the Service, your product, website, or submission, your violation of these Terms or applicable law, or your infringement of another person's rights. ## Governing law These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operator of ShowBuild, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If you are a consumer, mandatory consumer-protection laws applicable to you may continue to apply. ## General If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
