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. A takeover costs the amount of the current claim plus $7. Another buyer may take the hour at any time under that price. The claim recorded first at the current price wins. When card checkout is available, a payment provider processes the card. Hold the Hour does not store full card numbers. The claim is recorded only after payment is confirmed.

You are responsible for the name, link, logo, and handle you submit. 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to store those materials and to show them on the clock, the hour page, history, and — if a place was awarded and not withdrawn — the First 365 wall.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, infringing, or deceptive material, or adult content, gambling and betting, or alcohol. Hold the Hour may hide that kind of listing from the dial, the hour page, history, First 365, share images, and the hosted logo. Remedies required by law are not waived. A removed listing is refunded only where the refund rules or the law require it.

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 sent to the original payment method. A processing fee that is not returned to Hold the Hour may be deducted where the law allows. A refund is not promised to equal the original charge 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.
