Most Valuable Link

Terms of Service

Last updated:

These terms cover submitting and buying link listings on Most Valuable Link, operated under the name MostValuableLink.com (we, us, our). By accepting these terms when submitting a link, you agree to them. The Privacy Policy explains how we process information.

Important: section 14 provides for individual arbitration and a class action waiver where permitted by law. You may opt out within 30 days. A listing does not guarantee visitors or a minimum time in a featured spot.

1. A place for your link

Most Valuable Link gives your website or public profile a place on our desktop. You pay once to publish a clickable link. The option you choose and the amount you pay determine where it appears, as explained in section 3.

Submitting your link and having it reviewed are free. After approval, you can complete checkout to publish it. Your payment buys the listing described before checkout. If we cannot provide that listing, we refund your payment under section 6.

We use bid for the price you pay for a listing, and outbid when someone pays the required higher amount for a featured spot. Owner means the current holder of that spot, without transferring ownership of this website or any destination domain. Positions follow the published payment rules, with no random draw or prize. Your payment is not an investment, and you do not receive any part of another buyer’s payment.

2. Eligibility and authority

You must be at least 18, of the age of majority where you live, and legally able to make this agreement. If you act for a business or another person, you confirm that you have authority to bind them and promote their link. You must be authorised to use the payment method and provide accurate checkout information.

No account or password is required. Keep your checkout email and receipts secure. We use payment records to verify support requests; possession of a URL alone does not establish that you purchased its listing. Tell us promptly about suspected unauthorised payments at hello@mostvaluablelink.com.

3. Where your link appears

Regular links: a payment of at least $5 adds your link to the public history. Your link also takes the featured No. 1 spot if your amount is at least $1 above the current owner when payment is confirmed. An empty homepage starts at $5. Lower or equal bids join history. If somebody pays more during checkout, you still receive your history listing.

Trash links: choose $1, $2, $3 or $4 to add a public link inside the trash can window. All four amounts buy the same type of listing. These links appear only in the bin, without a regular history listing, desktop shortcut or No. 1 spot. The bin and its descriptions are a playful theme, not a factual judgment about anyone’s finances or quality.

Custom shortcuts: four slots operate independently of No. 1. An empty slot costs $250. Each takeover costs exactly double the last successful payment for that slot: $500, $1,000 and so on, within the supported checkout limit. The link stays in that slot until a qualifying takeover, subject to these terms. After a takeover, the former owner’s paid listing remains in regular history.

Prices are compared before tax and checked again when payment is confirmed. Opening a form or checkout does not reserve a spot. If two buyers pay the same shortcut price, the first successfully processed qualifying confirmation takes it; the other payment is refunded in full and does not create a separate listing. Featured spots follow these payment rules, without random selection or hidden engagement scores.

There is no minimum time in a featured position. Historical records are intended to remain available while the service operates, subject to content removal, privacy requests, legal obligations and service changes. References to internet history do not promise perpetual hosting. Layouts, pagination and device sizes may affect where a listing appears.

4. About the listings and counters

People pay to add the submitted links you see here. A featured spot reflects the amount paid; it does not mean we endorse that website or profile, or consider it better than another. The current No. 1 link is published as a standard dofollow link. Custom shortcuts, history and trash listings use sponsored and nofollow attributes. Dofollow applies only while a link holds the No. 1 spot, and search engines decide whether to crawl or give ranking credit to any link. You must not sell or describe a listing here as guaranteed search authority or an editorial recommendation.

Visitor and click counters are approximate operational measurements. Filtering, repeat-visit rules, blocked scripts and outages can affect them. They are not audited impressions, unique-person counts or forecasts.

5. Payments and taxes

Prices are in US dollars. Stripe processes one-time payments; there is no subscription. Each new submission is a separate purchase at its full displayed amount. Earlier payments do not create credit toward a new bid or shortcut takeover, and cannot be transferred or withdrawn.

Applicable taxes may be added at checkout and are excluded when comparing bids. Stripe receives card details directly; we do not store card numbers or security codes. Your use of its payment services is also governed by Stripe’s applicable terms. We remain responsible for publishing your listing and honouring the refund commitments in these terms.

6. Delivery and refunds

We publish your link after payment is confirmed. A regular purchase is delivered when its history listing is published; a trash purchase when its bin listing is published; and a successful custom shortcut purchase when its link appears in the chosen slot and has a history record. Being outbid after delivery, tying another bid, staying in history or receiving no visitors does not by itself qualify for a refund.

We refund payments taken in error, duplicate charges for the same purchase, payments for listings we do not provide, and unsuccessful same-price shortcut purchases. We also refund a listing we remove for a reason that was not your fault, or materially demote by changing the payment ranking rules, and provide any refund required by law. A refund for an undelivered purchase includes tax collected for it.

Earlier homepage-only checkouts retain their original homepage-or-refund offer: if a simultaneous purchase prevents that checkout from taking the homepage, it is refunded in full. These updated terms do not retroactively remove rights attached to earlier payments.

Contact hello@mostvaluablelink.com with your checkout email and receipt. Please let us investigate suspected errors promptly. This request does not waive your rights to dispute an unauthorised or incorrect charge with your bank or payment provider. Refunds go to the original payment method; bank processing times vary.

If mandatory consumer cancellation, withdrawal, refund or other rights apply where you live, they take priority. Accepting these terms alone does not waive a right that requires a separate express request or acknowledgement under local law.

7. Your link, profile and content

You must own or be authorised to promote the submitted destination and to use associated names, handles, descriptions, logos and images. You are responsible for their accuracy, legality and continued safety, including content or redirects changed after approval. Do not impersonate someone or imply an affiliation you do not have.

By submitting, you authorise us and our service providers to retrieve the public page and profile metadata on your behalf for previews, review and operation of your listing. Private accounts, password-protected pages and pages we cannot verify may be rejected. We may use automated review and make mistakes; approval is not a guarantee that a destination is safe or lawful. Contact hello@mostvaluablelink.com to ask for review of a rejection or removal.

You retain your rights in submitted material and grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to retrieve, cache, reproduce and display the associated public metadata and link as needed to operate and promote your listing and this service. The licence ends when the listing is removed, except for records, backups and existing copies reasonably retained for compliance or dispute resolution.

8. Content restrictions and removal

We may reject, restrict or remove material that is illegal, infringing, fraudulent, misleading, malware or phishing; pornography; targeted hate or harassment; graphic gore; child exploitation; promotion of self-harm; or weapons sales. The same rules apply to all prices and placement types. Attempts to hide a prohibited destination behind redirects, change it after review, or manipulate review are prohibited.

We may act without advance notice where needed for safety, legal obligations or a material breach. Removal caused by your breach generally does not entitle you to a refund, subject to mandatory law. Removal for a reason that was not your fault is covered by section 6. Contact hello@mostvaluablelink.com with the listing URL, relevant evidence and contact details to report abuse or intellectual property infringement.

9. Prohibited conduct

Do not manipulate bids, payments, visitor counts or click counts; use stolen payment methods; submit deceptive information; exploit an error to obtain placement; interfere with service availability; attempt to access private reviews or payment records; or evade rate limits, security controls, moderation or access restrictions. Automated access must respect applicable law, robots directives and reasonable technical limits.

10. No guaranteed results

Your payment covers publishing your link as described before checkout. We promise no particular traffic, clicks, impressions, conversions, revenue, search ranking, investment return or duration at No. 1 or in a custom slot. You decide whether the price is worthwhile. Paying more does not change these limits or acquire any intellectual property in the service.

11. Third-party destinations and services

We do not operate listed destinations or social platforms. They may change, disappear, block access or use different privacy practices. Your dealings with them are between you and them. Platform names and logos belong to their respective owners; listing a profile does not mean that platform sponsors or endorses us.

12. Service disclaimers

To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as is and as available, without express or implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not promise uninterrupted, error-free or completely secure operation. These limitations do not override our express delivery and refund commitments or rights that cannot legally be excluded.

13. Liability and indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages, or lost profits, opportunities, goodwill or data. Our total liability arising from the service is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify us against third-party claims and reasonable costs caused by content you submitted, your material breach of these terms or your violation of another person’s rights. This does not require you to indemnify us for our own misconduct. Nothing excludes liability for fraud, wilful misconduct or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Mandatory consumer protections prevail.

14. Disputes, arbitration and opt-out

Please read carefully: where enforceable, you and we agree to binding individual arbitration instead of a jury trial or class action. This applies to disputes relating to these terms or the service after you accept this version, subject to the exceptions below.

Informal resolution: send a written description of your dispute and requested relief to hello@mostvaluablelink.com. We will try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days. This process does not prevent urgent relief, a small claims filing, a regulator complaint or a filing needed to preserve a legal deadline.

Arbitration: unresolved disputes are administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before one arbitrator under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules for consumer disputes or Commercial Arbitration Rules for business disputes. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this clause. Current rules and fees are available at adr.org. Consumer fees, hearing arrangements and relief must comply with AAA rules and its consumer due process requirements; we pay the business fees those rules require.

A hearing may take place remotely by agreement or as allowed by the applicable rules. An in-person consumer hearing will take place at a reasonably convenient location under those rules. The arbitrator may award the individual relief a court could. If AAA will not administer a claim because of our failure to satisfy its requirements, you may take it to court.

Individual claims: to the extent permitted, claims must be brought individually, not as part of a class, collective or representative action, and the arbitrator cannot consolidate different people’s claims without all parties’ agreement. Neither party waives non-waivable public injunctive relief or other mandatory rights. A claim or remedy that cannot lawfully be arbitrated proceeds in a competent court; the remainder may proceed in arbitration.

Exceptions: either party may use a competent small claims court or seek urgent court relief against intellectual property infringement or unauthorised access. Nothing prevents a complaint to a public authority. If a court claim proceeds and local law permits, both parties waive trial by jury.

Opt out: within 30 days after first accepting this arbitration provision, email hello@mostvaluablelink.com with “Arbitration opt-out” and enough information to identify your submission or checkout email. Opting out of arbitration and the class waiver does not affect other terms or your listings. Changes do not retroactively apply this clause to existing disputes or override an earlier valid opt-out.

15. Governing law and venue

Subject to mandatory protections where you live, Texas law and applicable US federal law govern these terms, excluding conflict-of-law rules. For disputes outside arbitration, the state and federal courts in Travis County, Texas are the agreed forum, except for competent small claims courts and where mandatory law permits or requires another forum. Nothing deprives consumers of non-waivable protections or access to their local courts.

16. Service changes and termination

You may ask us to remove a listing; voluntary removal normally does not refund a delivered placement, subject to law. We may suspend harmful activity, change presentation or discontinue features. Material changes that remove a purchased placement for reasons not your fault are subject to section 6. We do not promise that the site, a theme or its history will exist forever.

Outstanding payment and refund obligations, licences for permitted retained records, and provisions concerning liability, disputes and general legal matters survive termination to the extent relevant.

17. Changes and general provisions

We publish revisions here with a new date. Material changes for existing users will be notified through the site or available contact details before taking effect where required. New purchases require acceptance of the current version. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued rights or alter a previously purchased placement’s payment and refund terms.

If a provision is unenforceable, it is limited or severed to the extent necessary and the remainder continues. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign the agreement without our consent; we may assign it with a business transfer subject to your mandatory rights. Events beyond reasonable control may excuse delay but do not eliminate non-waivable rights or refund obligations.

These terms and the specific offer accepted at checkout are the agreement about your purchase. The Privacy Policy describes data handling and does not waive privacy rights. Questions and legal notices for MostValuableLink.com: hello@mostvaluablelink.com.
