Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-11-11
These Terms govern your use of Long Live at longlive.ad (the "Site"). The Site is operated by Plastika, based in South Korea (the "Operator", "we", "us"). By using the Site or making a payment, you agree to these Terms. The Rules, Privacy Policy and Refund Policy form part of these Terms.
1. What the Site is
Long Live is a public, paid advertising board. Businesses register a product website or an X @handle (a "listing"). Each listing is shown on the board as an animated character (a "critter") that carries the listing's name, logo and link. The size of a critter and its rank on each board are determined by the amount paid for that listing, as described in the Rules.
Listings are paid advertisements. They are not reviews, endorsements, certifications, awards or independent rankings of any kind. Rank reflects money paid, nothing else.
2. What you buy
A payment buys a paid advertising placement on the board. Specifically, it buys:
- a critter on the board that links to the registered site;
- a critter whose size is set by the amount paid under the size rules in effect at any given time;
- a rank on each board that includes that payment, at whatever position the amount supports when the payment is confirmed.
A payment does not buy:
- any amount of traffic, clicks, visitors, customers, revenue or search-engine benefit;
- a fixed duration at any rank, or protection from being outranked;
- exclusivity of any kind;
- an endorsement by the Operator.
Rank can change at any time as others pay. Rankings may change while you are checking out; your full amount is still added to your listing, at whatever rank it then supports.
3. Boards and size rules
The Site shows more than one board (for example All-time and Weekly). One payment counts on every board that includes it. Periodic boards (such as Weekly) rank by amounts paid within that period and reset when the period ends. The Rules describe how size, rank, effects and periods work.
We may change the size rules, boards, periods and visual effects at any time, including for existing listings. Any change applies to the whole board equally; we never resize individual listings. Two things do not change: a listing that paid more is never shown smaller than a listing that paid less on the same board, and rank always follows amount. Rule changes are listed on the Rules page with their dates.
4. Payments
Payments are processed by our payment provider, which acts as the merchant of record for the transaction. Card details are collected by the payment provider, not by the Site. Prices are in US dollars. Taxes may be added at checkout depending on your location.
All payments are final and non-refundable. Being outranked, a reset of a periodic board, a smaller critter than expected, fewer clicks than hoped for, or a later removal for breaking these Terms does not create a refund. See the Refund Policy. Initiating a chargeback without a valid reason is a breach of these Terms and may result in removal of your listing and refusal of future service.
5. Listing requirements
You may only register a website or @handle that you own or are authorized to represent. A registered website must display valid company or operator details that allow a legally responsible party to be identified. We may remove, without refund, any listing that does not meet this requirement.
The following are not allowed: chat and invite links (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal and similar); link shorteners; sexual or adult content; illegal products or services; scams, fraud or deceptive offers; hate or harassment; phishing or malware; and offers that require a license you do not hold (including financial, medical, gambling and weapons). Query parameters are removed from links. The Rules contain the full list.
Names and styles shown on a critter must not impersonate another person or business, infringe anyone's rights, or be offensive.
6. Boosts and ownership
Anyone may pay to boost any listing. A boost increases the listing's amount and therefore its size and rank. A boost does not transfer ownership and does not change the listing's name or link.
The owner of a listing is the person who made its first payment, identified by the email address used at that checkout. Style changes (colors and pattern) chosen during a boost are applied only if the boost is paid with that same email address; otherwise the amount is added and the style stays as it is. This does not create a refund. Names and links are not changed through boosts; to correct them, contact us.
If a listing was registered by someone other than the actual owner of the site, the actual owner may contact us. After we verify the request, we will transfer the listing to the actual owner or remove it. Payments made by the previous registrant stay with the listing and are not refunded.
Listing owners cannot refuse boosts from others. If you do not want your listing on the board, contact us and we will hide it; payments already made are not refunded.
7. Giveaway listings and open spots
The Operator may add listings at no charge ("Giveaway" listings), for example through a giveaway. Giveaway listings are marked as such, rank below all paid listings, are shown for a limited period stated on the listing, and may be removed at any time. They carry no amount and create no entitlement. A payment of the new-listing minimum or more for a Giveaway listing converts it into a regular listing under these Terms.
When a board has fewer than twenty listings, empty ranks are shown as grey "Open spot" placeholders. They are not listings and hold no amount.
8. Logos, names and link previews
Logos, names and link previews (page title, description and preview image) shown on a listing are taken from the registered website or @handle, or entered by the person registering the listing. They are used to identify the registered site. By registering a listing you confirm that you have the right to use that name, logo and preview content. If you believe a listing uses your name or mark without authorization, contact us and we will review and, where appropriate, remove it.
9. Removal and moderation
We may hide, edit or remove any listing, name, style or link at any time, with or without notice, if we believe it breaks these Terms, is unlawful, harms the Site or its users, or for any other reasonable cause. Removal does not create a refund.
10. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract to make a payment.
11. Availability and changes
The Site is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind. We may change, pause or discontinue the Site or any board at any time. We may change these Terms; the version shown on the Site at the time of a payment applies to that payment.
12. Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, lost profits or lost business arising from the Site. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the listing concerned in the twelve months before the claim.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. Mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence are not affected where they apply.
