Terms of Use

Last updated: August 21, 2026

Plain-English summary (the full terms below control): outgive.lol is a paid ranking service operated by Press Start Studios LLC, a for-profit Texas company - not a charity. When you pay to claim a rank you are paying us. From every gift we deduct a 5% admin fee plus 3% + $0.30 for card processing and pay the rest to the charity you selected, in aggregate, after the end of each month, with proof published on our Payouts page. Gifts are not tax deductible, all payments are final, we screen and may remove any listing, and our liability is capped.

1. Who we are; acceptance

outgive.lol (the "Service") is owned and operated by Press Start Studios LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("outgive", "we", "us", "our"). These Terms of Use ("Terms"), together with the Rules and Privacy Policy (incorporated by reference), are a binding agreement between you and outgive. By accessing the Service, submitting a listing, or making a payment, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. You must be at least 18 years old, able to form a binding contract, and not a person or entity barred from receiving services under United States law (including OFAC sanctions) to use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind it.

2. What the Service is (and is not)

The Service is a public, entertainment-oriented leaderboard on which users pay to rank a website or social handle ("Listing"). Rank is determined by the lifetime total paid for a Listing as described in the Rules. Rankings, click counts, totals, and statistics are provided for entertainment and informational purposes only, may be delayed or inaccurate, and are not an endorsement, review, or verification of any Listing or of the people or businesses behind it. Nothing on the Service is tax, legal, financial, investment, or professional advice.

3. outgive is not a charity

outgive is a for-profit business. It is not a charity, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization, donor-advised fund, fundraising platform, crowdfunding platform, professional fundraiser, fundraising counsel, or commercial co-venturer acting on behalf of any organization, and it does not solicit contributions for, act as agent of, or hold funds in trust for any charity or any user. Each payment you make ("Gift") is a payment to outgive for the ranking and display of your Listing. As a condition of operating the Service, outgive publicly commits to pay the Charity Share of each Gift (Section 5) to the charitable organization you select before paying (your "Selected Charity") as set out in Section 4. That commitment is a contractual undertaking by outgive; it does not make your Gift a donation, create a trust, escrow, agency, or fiduciary relationship, or give any charity or user third-party-beneficiary rights under these Terms.

Gifts are not tax deductible. You will not receive a charitable receipt, acknowledgment, or tax documentation from outgive or from any charity in connection with a Gift. You are solely responsible for any taxes arising from your use of the Service. If tax treatment matters to you, give directly to the charity instead.

4. Selected Charity, payouts, and proof

• Your choice. At checkout you select one charity from our published list. We may add, remove, or replace organizations on the list at any time, at our sole discretion, without notice and without liability.
• No affiliation. Listed charities do not sponsor, endorse, operate, or control the Service, have not reviewed these Terms, and are not parties to this agreement. Their names, marks, and descriptions are used only to identify the intended recipient of our payouts. Descriptions are summaries based on public information; we make no representation about any charity's programs, status, or effectiveness, and you should rely on the charity's own materials.
• Monthly payouts. We intend to pay each charity the aggregate Charity Share it was selected for during each calendar month within fifteen (15) days after the end of that month, by a single transfer per charity, in our own name. Where a charity's aggregate for a month is below twenty-five dollars (US$25), we may roll that amount into the following month's payout to avoid losing it to transfer fees. Payout dates are targets, not guarantees; delays caused by payment processors, banks, charity onboarding, or verification do not breach these Terms.
• Proof. We publish a ledger of amounts owed and paid per charity per month, with confirmation references or receipts, on our Payouts page. The ledger is generated from our payment records; in the event of any discrepancy, our internal records control.
• Substitution. If a Selected Charity declines or is unable to accept funds, cannot be reached with reasonable effort, has lost or cannot demonstrate charitable status, is subject to sanctions or credible allegations of misconduct, or is removed from our list, we will pay the funds to another reputable charitable organization with a comparable mission, at our sole discretion, and note the substitution on the Payouts page. You will not be entitled to a refund or to direct the substitute.
• Anonymity. Payouts are made in aggregate in our name. We do not share your identity with charities unless you separately consent. The Listing name, amount, and selected charity are public on the Service.
• Refunds, disputes, and chargebacks relating to a Gift reduce the Charity Share we are obligated to pay for that period; we may net such amounts against future payouts.
• Wind-down. If we discontinue the Service, we will pay out any accrued Charity Share in the ordinary course and then have no further obligation.

5. Fees and the Charity Share

From each Gift, outgive deducts:

• an administrative fee of five percent (5%) of the Gift amount, retained by outgive to cover hosting, development, screening, support, compliance, and other operating costs; and
• a payment processing fee of three percent (3%) of the Gift amount plus thirty cents (US$0.30) per transaction. This is a fixed charge that approximates what our payment processor charges us; actual processor costs may be higher or lower, and any difference is borne by or retained by outgive.

The remainder is the "Charity Share". Example: a $100 Gift yields a $5.00 admin fee, a $3.30 processing fee, and a $91.70 Charity Share. The amount charged to your payment method is the Gift amount you enter; the breakdown shown before checkout reflects this formula. We may change the fee structure prospectively by updating these Terms; changes do not apply to Gifts already paid.

6. Payments, finality, and chargebacks

• Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details. Your use of Stripe is subject to Stripe's terms and privacy policy. We may share transaction and device signals with Stripe for fraud prevention.
• All payments are final. Because the Charity Share is committed to charity and the ranking is delivered instantly, Gifts are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or at our sole discretion. Any refund we choose to give may exclude non-recoverable payment processing fees. Ranking position is not guaranteed for any duration; you may be outgiven at any moment.
• By completing a purchase you confirm that you have reviewed the Listing and pricing and authorize the payment. If you have any issue with a purchase, contact help@outgive.lol before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback. If you initiate a chargeback or dispute that we believe is unjustified, we may remove your Listing, ban you from the Service, and recover the disputed amount, dispute fees, and collection costs where the law allows.
• Raising an existing Listing charges only the difference between its current total and the new total you enter; a completed payment is what claims a rank, and a rank can be lost at any time when someone else gives more.
• You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method, that the funds are not derived from unlawful activity, and that you are not using the Service to launder money, evade sanctions, or structure transactions.
• Prices are in US dollars. Currency conversion, foreign transaction, or bank fees are your responsibility.

7. Listings and acceptable use

You may list a website you own or are authorized to promote, or an X handle that belongs to you or that you are authorized to promote. You represent and warrant that your Listing and the linked content comply with all applicable laws and these Terms. You may not submit Listings that:

• link to or promote illegal goods or services, malware, phishing, scams, fraud, pyramid or Ponzi schemes, counterfeit goods, or deceptive practices;
• contain or link to sexually explicit or pornographic content, escort or adult services, gambling illegal in the viewer's jurisdiction, weapons, drugs, or other controlled goods;
• promote hate, harassment, violence, terrorism, self-harm, or discrimination, or exploit minors in any way;
• impersonate another person or entity, misrepresent your affiliation, or list a website or handle you have no right to promote;
• are chat invite links, link shorteners, redirectors, or URLs that depend on query parameters (which are stripped);
• infringe any copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other right; or
• violate any applicable law, regulation, or the rights of others.

You may not interfere with the Service; scrape, crawl, or harvest it in a way that burdens it; manipulate rankings, click counts, or statistics; use automated means to pay; circumvent screening, limitations, or moderation; or use the Service to send unsolicited communications.

8. Screening, moderation, and our discretion

Before accepting a Listing we run automated safety screening, which may include third-party threat intelligence (such as Google Web Risk), content heuristics, and a fetch of the linked page. Screening is imperfect: it may reject legitimate sites and may miss harmful ones. We may refuse, review, edit, re-key, hide, or remove any Listing, and suspend or ban any user, at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, and without refund. Removal of a Listing does not affect our commitment to pay the Charity Share of Gifts already received. We have no obligation to monitor Listings, do not endorse any Listing, and are not responsible for the websites, profiles, or people they link to. You may report a Listing to abuse@outgive.lol.

For website Listings, we may automatically retrieve and display the page's public title, description, and icon. You are responsible for that content and may ask us to edit or remove it by emailing help@outgive.lol.

9. Intellectual property

• The Service, including its name, design, code, text, graphics, ledger, and compilation of Listings, is owned by outgive or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, trade dress, and other laws. Except for viewing the Service in a browser for personal use, you may not copy, reproduce, frame, scrape, mirror, or create derivative works of the Service without our prior written permission.
• By submitting a Listing you grant outgive a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to display, reproduce, and distribute the submitted name, URL, handle, and associated title, description, favicon, or avatar on the Service and in promotion of the Service, including on the Payouts page and in historical records. You represent that you have all rights needed to grant this license.
• Third-party names, logos, favicons, and trademarks (including those of charities and listed websites) belong to their respective owners and are displayed nominatively, for identification only. Their appearance does not imply affiliation or endorsement.
• Any feedback or suggestions you send us may be used without restriction or compensation.
• outgive is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to outbid.lol or its operators.

10. Copyright and trademark complaints

If you believe content on the Service infringes your rights, email legal@outgive.lol with: (a) the URL of the Listing; (b) identification of the work or mark you claim is infringed; (c) your contact details; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized; and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act for them. We respond to valid notices consistent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and comparable laws, may remove Listings accordingly, and may terminate repeat infringers.

11. Third-party links and services

The Service links to third-party websites and profiles submitted by users and to charities, and relies on third-party providers (including Stripe, Google Cloud / Firebase, Google Web Risk, and PostHog). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, or practices. Your dealings with third parties, including any purchase from a listed site, are solely between you and them. Clicking a Listing leaves the Service at your own risk.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT ANY LEVEL OF TRAFFIC, CLICKS, VISIBILITY, RANKING DURATION, SEARCH-ENGINE EFFECT, COMMERCIAL RESULT, OR ANY PARTICULAR TAX, LEGAL, OR CHARITABLE OUTCOME. THE SERVICE MAY BE CHANGED, SUSPENDED, OR DISCONTINUED AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUTGIVE AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, REPUTATION, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEES YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100). THESE LIMITATIONS ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BARGAIN. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless outgive and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and suppliers from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, fines, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and chargeback or dispute fees) arising out of or related to your Listings and the content they link to, your use of the Service, your payments, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

15. Changes; termination; force majeure

We may change these Terms at any time by posting an updated version with a new "Last updated" date; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. We may modify, suspend, or shut down the Service, in whole or in part, at any time. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages of third-party providers, payment networks, or banks. Sections 3 through 19 survive termination.

16. Governing law, venue, and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Texas and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You agree that the exclusive venue for any such dispute is the state or federal courts located in Texas in the county where Press Start Studios LLC maintains its principal office, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there, except where applicable consumer protection law requires otherwise. Before filing any claim you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by emailing legal@outgive.lol and allowing at least 30 days for a response. Any claim must be brought within one (1) year after it arises or it is permanently barred, to the extent permitted by law. The prevailing party in any action to enforce these Terms is entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND OUTGIVE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT CLAIMS MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Nothing in these Terms waives any right that cannot be waived under Texas law, and nothing in these Terms limits any rights that cannot legally be excluded.

17. Electronic communications

You consent to receive notices, receipts, and other communications electronically, by posting on the Service or by email to the address you provide at checkout, and agree that they satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing.

18. General

These Terms, the Rules, and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and outgive regarding the Service and supersede any prior understanding. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them freely, including to a successor of the Service. Headings are for convenience only. Notices to you may be posted on the Service. The Service is controlled and operated from the United States; you are responsible for compliance with local laws if you access it from elsewhere.
