Terms

Hold the Hour sells a limited display right on a public UTC clock. A confirmed claim puts your approved name, link, and any approved logo on that hour’s dial while the claim remains current. When the hour is live, that listing is the face of the clock. The right repeats each day only for as long as you remain the current holder. It is not ownership of time, equity, a token, or a promise of clicks or sales.

An open hour costs $7, paid once. Each successful takeover increases that hour’s next price by exactly $7. The right repeats for that UTC hour until another buyer successfully takes it over. It is not a lifetime, perpetual, or permanent right. Opening checkout does not establish ownership. Ownership changes only after Hold the Hour’s server confirms a successful payment. Payments are processed by Whop. You pay the amount presented at checkout. Whop may show currency conversion, taxes, or processing or service charges. Your bank or card may add foreign or conversion fees that Hold the Hour does not control. Hold the Hour does not store full card numbers. A stale or conflicting checkout can become invalid if the hour’s price or owner changes first. A mismatched or duplicate payment does not create a second claim.

You confirm that you have the rights to the name, logo, link, and other materials you submit, and that the listing does not impersonate another person, company, or brand or claim an affiliation you do not have. Appearance on the clock does not mean Hold the Hour verified or endorsed the brand. Hold the Hour does not check every trademark before a claim is recorded. You give Hold the Hour permission to store those materials and to show them on the clock, the hour page, history, and — if a place was awarded and not withdrawn — the First 365 wall. Each brand can earn one place. Another purchase of that brand keeps the original plaque. A different brand can earn its own. Do not submit unlawful, fraudulent, phishing, or deceptive material, adult or sexual content, gambling and betting, alcohol, or a malicious link. Hold the Hour may hide a violating listing from the public clock. Hiding it does not undo a completed payment, reset the price, or make the hour open. The hour stays recorded until a successful takeover, which is offered at the current next price. A hidden listing is not automatically refunded. The private payment and history records are kept. Remedies required by law are not waived.

The clock can go offline, lose data, or eventually close. History is kept with the intention of preserving recorded claims, not as a guarantee of an eternal archive. Not every failure is unpaid. Where a refund is approved, it is returned through Whop to the original payment method. Hold the Hour does not promise that every processing, service, or conversion charge is refunded. A refund is not promised to equal the checkout total in every case. If a recorded claim’s name and logo are still not on that hour’s dial within 24 hours, email us or use the refund request. Sending it does not refund the payment by itself. A late listing can be kept. An approved refund removes that claim’s public listing and any First 365 place awarded for it. Nothing on this page caps liability at the first $7 price when a later claim cost more.
