The fine print

Auction rules, privacy & terms

Daily bidding runs 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time. One winner per day. Payment is arranged personally — never automatically.

How the auction works

One auction runs every day. Bidding opens at 7:00 AM Eastern Time and closes at 6:00 PM Eastern Time. No bids are accepted outside those hours.
A random starting bid between $5 and $25 is generated at midnight Eastern Time and stays fixed for the day.
Every bid is a whole-dollar amount and must be higher than the current highest bid. You may bid as many times as you like, but each new bid from you must be higher than your own previous bid.
The highest valid bid at 6:00 PM Eastern Time wins the opportunity to be featured in the next social media video. The winner is provisional until payment is arranged.
Every bid is permanent. Bids can never be edited or deleted by the bidder, and they stay attached to the account that placed them.
The daily leaderboard resets at midnight Eastern Time. The lifetime leaderboard is ranked by each bidder's single highest valid bid ever placed and never resets. Rankings are never based on total money spent.
An administrator may disqualify a bid that breaks these rules, or a provisional winner who does not complete payment within 48 hours of the auction closing. The opportunity then passes to the next eligible bidder.

There is no automatic payment collection on this site. No card is charged, and no payment is taken through the website.
When an auction closes, the provisional winner is notified by email. The administrator then personally contacts the winner by their registered email address or phone number to arrange payment and next steps.
The winner has 48 hours from the close of the auction to confirm participation and arrange payment. Winners who do not do so may be disqualified under these rules.
Winners may take part in future auctions. Previous winning bids remain on the lifetime leaderboard.

Company spaces and video placements are sold by request. A request holds the position while the publisher reviews it; nothing is charged until the request is approved.
Approved requests receive a secure card payment link for the fixed price of the position. A position is only marked sold after the payment is verified by the payment provider.
Approved and paid companies upload their own advertising creative through a private portal. Uploads are stored privately and are never public until the publisher approves and publishes them.
Every upload is reviewed before publication. Content that is rejected or needs changes is reported back to the company by email, and can be replaced at any time before publication.
An approved reservation that is not paid within 48 hours is released automatically, and the position becomes available to other companies again.
Advertising placements are separate from the daily auction. Bidding rules, winner selection and auction payments are unaffected.

We collect your full name, email address, phone number, account type, company name if applicable, and your bidding history. Your email address is verified before you can bid.
Your name or company name and your bid amounts appear on the public leaderboards. Your email address, phone number and other contact details never appear publicly.
Phone numbers are collected only so the administrator can contact you about an auction you won. We do not send SMS verification codes and there is no text-message verification of any kind.
Contact details are visible only to the administrator for auction operations. They are not sold, rented or shared for marketing.
Bidding records are kept permanently so the leaderboards and auction history stay accurate. Bids are never edited or deleted by bidders.
You can update your account details at any time from your account page. To have your account closed, contact the administrator.

You must create an account with a verified email address to bid. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information on your account and for keeping your password secure.
A bid is a serious offer to pay the amount you submit if you win. Bids that are submitted in error cannot be withdrawn or edited.
The administrator may disqualify bids that are invalid, abusive, fraudulent, or that break these rules, and may cancel an auction when necessary. Disqualification reasons are recorded.
Winning is an opportunity to be featured in a social media video. The administrator arranges scheduling, content and payment details directly with the winner.
Attempting to interfere with the auction, place bids on behalf of others, or misuse the site may result in your account being blocked and your bids disqualified.
These rules may be updated. The version published on this page applies to the auction in progress.
