TIERED PRICING (ALL PRICES IN USD):

------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------

Prices may change at our discretion. Changes apply to future purchases only. The current price is always displayed at checkout and is the binding price for your transaction.

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see, store, or handle your payment card information. By completing a purchase, you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service (stripe.com/legal).

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Your line is a digital product delivered immediately upon payment. No refunds, returns, or exchanges — with two exceptions: (1) if your content is rejected by moderation, you receive an automatic full refund to your original payment method within 5–10 business days; or (2) if a technical error on our end prevents your line from being delivered at all.

For EU/EEA/UK consumers: By completing your purchase, you expressly consent to the immediate delivery of digital content and acknowledge that you waive your 14-day right of withdrawal under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (Directive 2011/83/EU), as the digital content is fully delivered upon payment. This consent is confirmed during checkout.

Line numbers are assigned sequentially when payment completes (not when checkout begins). We do not guarantee a specific line number. Reserved milestone numbers are excluded from sequential assignment (see §8).

WHAT YOU SUBMIT:

Your line text (quantity label, item name, display price), optional display name, and optional image. Collectively: "User Content."

LICENSE YOU GRANT US:

By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, display, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, and create derivative works of your User Content for the following purposes:

This license survives any termination of your relationship with the Service and cannot be revoked. You retain ownership of your original User Content, but you cannot retract the license granted above.

Your representations: By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are the original creator or have all necessary rights and permissions to submit the content; (b) your content does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of any third party; and (c) you have the authority to grant the license described above.

OUR RIGHT TO MODERATE:

All User Content is subject to moderation — both automated (via OpenAI Moderation API and AWS Rekognition) and manual (human review). We can, at our sole discretion:

If your content is rejected pre-publication: You receive a full refund. You may contact [SUPPORT EMAIL] to request a manual review of the decision.

If your content is removed post-publication: No refund is issued. Your line was delivered as purchased; removal is a consequence of a content violation, legal requirement, or our exercise of editorial discretion. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you by email if your line is removed, with the reason for removal.

Don't submit content that:

Full details and examples: /guidelines

Our property: The Site, its design, source code, receipt format, branding, logos, and all original content created by us are our intellectual property (or that of our licensors) and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works of any part of the Site without our written permission.

Your property: You retain ownership of your original User Content. However, you cannot revoke the license granted in §4. For images, you must be the rights holder or have appropriate permissions for any images you upload.

DMCA COPYRIGHT NOTICES:

If you believe User Content on the Site infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to our designated agent:

Your DMCA notice must include: (1) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (2) identification of the infringing material and its location on the Site (e.g., line number); (3) your contact information; (4) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized; (5) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the notice is accurate and you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf; and (6) your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content and make reasonable efforts to notify the user who submitted it. Repeat infringers may be permanently banned from the Service.

We commit to donating 10% of gross revenue from line purchases to hunger-relief organizations. Details, receipts, and running totals are published on our /transparency page.

Important — please read carefully: This donation commitment is a voluntary, unilateral pledge made by us. It is nota contractual obligation to buyers and does not create any enforceable right. The following are at our sole discretion: the cause partner or organization, the timing and frequency of donations, the method of donation, and the definition of "gross revenue" for calculation purposes. There is no guaranteed minimum donation — the donation equals exactly 10% of actual gross revenue. If the site generates no revenue in a given period, no donation is made for that period. The statement "1 line = 1 meal" is an approximation based on current per-meal costs at hunger-relief organizations and is not a guarantee. We are not a nonprofit, charitable organization, or tax-exempt entity. Your purchase is not tax-deductible. If our current cause partner is unable to accept donations, we will direct funds to an alternative hunger-relief organization and update the transparency page accordingly.

Certain milestone line numbers (#1, #420, #1,337, #10,000, #69,420, #100,000, #1,000,000) are reserved and sold via auction on third-party platforms (e.g., eBay).

AUCTION TERMS:

In addition to the content rules in §5, you agree not to:

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT YOUR LINE WILL BE DISPLAYED PERMANENTLY (THOUGH WE INTEND IT TO BE — SEE §16), THAT SHARE CARDS WILL ALWAYS BE ACCESSIBLE, OR THAT DONATIONS WILL REACH ANY SPECIFIC TARGET.

For EU/EEA/UK consumers: Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable consumer protection law, including the EU Consumer Rights Directive and the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015. Statutory warranties and rights that apply in your jurisdiction are not affected by this section.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

(In plain English: the most we'd ever owe you is the total you've spent on lines in the past year. For most people, that's $0.99–$5.99.)

For EU/EEA/UK consumers: This limitation does not apply to liability arising from our willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless [YOUR FULL LEGAL NAME], doing business as The World's Longest Receipt, from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content, including any claim that your User Content infringes the rights of a third party; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your use or misuse of the Service.

This indemnification obligation is limited to direct damages and shall not exceed $5,000 USD or the total amount you have paid for the Service, whichever is greater. This limitation does not apply to claims arising from intentional misconduct or willful infringement.

For EU/EEA/UK consumers: This indemnification clause applies only to the extent permitted by the consumer protection laws of your jurisdiction. It does not require you to indemnify us for losses caused by our own negligence or breach.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [YOUR STATE], United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS:

For EU/EEA/UK consumers:Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence. You may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence. You may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Service if:

Effect on purchased lines: If your access is terminated due to a violation of these Terms, previously purchased and published lines may remain on the receipt or may be removed at our discretion. No refund is issued for lines associated with a terminated account where the termination was caused by your violation. If we remove lines for reasons unrelated to your conduct (e.g., a legal takedown request), we will make reasonable efforts to notify you.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do:

For EU/EEA/UK consumers: Material changes that significantly affect your rights will require your affirmative acknowledgment before taking effect on your future use.

We intend for the receipt and all published lines to remain available indefinitely. However, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access or permanent availability. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control.

If we discontinue the Service: In the unlikely event that we permanently discontinue the Service, we will: (1) provide at least 90 days' notice via the Site and, where possible, by email; (2) make reasonable efforts to provide users a way to download or archive the receipt (including their line content); and (3) fulfill any outstanding donation obligations under §7 for the final operating period. No refunds are owed for previously delivered lines, as the digital product was delivered at the time of purchase.

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, pandemics, government actions, internet or infrastructure failures, power outages, or third-party service provider outages (including Stripe, Supabase, Vercel, or Cloudflare). We will make reasonable efforts to resume the Service as soon as practicable.
