Terms of purchase

Effective November 2, 2026. Prices are in US dollars. Payments are currently closed until checkout becomes available.

What you buy

A public name tile with your selected flag, and a downloadable novelty certificate. A $2 tile shows your name and flag; $5 or more also displays your optional message; $20 or more may include your optional X profile link. Larger amounts receive larger tile styles. Display is promised for at least 12 months from payment confirmation. The certificate joke “paid for nothing” refers to this novelty purchase; these are the deliverables.

This is a purchase from the independent maker of Pay the Box. It is not charity, a donation, tax-deductible giving, an investment or a prize competition. There are no prizes, cash-outs, refunds for losing rank, or financial returns. The merchant identity and contact information shown at Stripe checkout and on your receipt identify your seller.

Delivery and rankings

Delivery happens automatically after Stripe confirms a successful payment, normally within a minute; delays can occur. The success link shows your tile and generates your certificate. Your email, payment details and billing address are not displayed on the wall. Keep your success link private if you do not want others to access your certificate.

Rankings reflect active, non-test payments, after refunds. Ties favor the earlier payment. Throne placement and country positions can change and are not guaranteed. Flags are user-selected and are not verified citizenship. Test payments are excluded from public totals and rankings.

Content

Use a nickname and do not post private information, illegal or abusive material, impersonation, spam, or third-party links and contact details. X handles are allowed only in the dedicated field for eligible purchases. Automatic safety checks run before publication. Flagged content, uncertain classification or a failed safety service produces an Anonymous Angel tile without a message or X link; the purchased tile is still delivered. Content can be removed for abuse or a valid legal request. Contact support if you need correction or removal. Messages have a 60-character limit; names have a 24-character limit.

Optional email alerts

Ranking alerts require a separate, unchecked-by-default opt-in. If opted in, you may receive an alert when your throne or country loses first place, at most once in 24 hours. Every alert has an unsubscribe link. You do not need to pay again.

Eligibility, refunds and support

You must be at least 18 and authorized to use your payment method. Read the 7-day refund policy. Any non-waivable consumer rights remain available. We do not require a waiver of statutory cancellation rights in order to deliver. Questions, missing delivery, corrections and refund requests: hello@paythebox.lol.
