Terms of Service — previous version

Clarified: September 5, 2026 — SaaS and app eligibility and vendor-provided access.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a contract between you and Envol, Inc. They govern your use of the TopSlash website at https://topslash.app and everything we offer through it (the "Service"). Please read them. By creating an account, submitting a listing, paying for placement, claiming a deal, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Some parts of the Service have their own rules. Those rules are part of these Terms:

• Ranking Rules — how paid rank works.
• Refund & Finality Rules — when a payment can and cannot be refunded.
• Listing Policy — what may be listed and how we review it.
• Paid Placement Disclosure — what a paid position means.
• Vendor Terms — extra rules if you sell a deal.
• Buyer Terms — extra rules if you buy a deal.
• Privacy Policy — how we handle personal information.

If these Terms and one of those documents say different things about the same topic, the more specific document controls for that topic.

1. Who we are

TopSlash is operated by Envol, Inc., a California corporation ("Envol", "we", "us", or "our"). Our postal address is Envol, Inc., 2108 N St Ste N, Sacramento, CA 95816, United States. Our support email is support@topslash.app.

TopSlash is a public leaderboard and marketplace for SaaS and apps. Founders verify their products and publish them with a clearly labeled Paid Rank payment. A product can rank without offering a deal. After the listing's cumulative total reaches $19, the founder may offer limited deals on annual subscriptions that buyers purchase directly from the vendor through its connected Stripe account. Eligible products and plans are described in the Listing Policy and Vendor Terms.

2. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, pay for placement, list a product, or buy a deal. Anyone may browse the public pages. If you use the Service for a company, you confirm that you have authority to bind that company, and "you" includes the company.

Our paid placement and marketplace-publication services are offered for business purposes. If you buy one of those services, you represent that you are acting for a business or trade and not primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.

You may not use the Service if we have banned you, if the law where you live does not allow you to use it, or if doing so would violate trade sanctions or export-control laws that apply to you or to us. You may not use the Service for the benefit of a sanctioned person, organization, or territory.

3. Accounts

• You sign in with a one-time code sent to your email address, or with a Google account. There are no passwords.
• Keep your email account secure. Anything done through your TopSlash account is treated as done by you.
• Give us accurate information and keep it current. Do not impersonate anyone.
• One person, one account. Do not create extra accounts to get around a limit, a ban, or a rule.
• You may delete your account from your account settings. See the Privacy Policy for what happens to your data.

4. The three roles

The same account can hold more than one role.

• Visitor. Anyone who browses the public pages. No account is needed to browse, follow outbound links, or read the bid history.
• Founder (also called vendor). A person or company that verifies a SaaS or app and publishes it with a Paid Rank payment. Once the listing reaches $19 in cumulative Paid Rank and the founder connects a Stripe account, the founder may sell a deal. When a founder sells a deal, we call them the vendor.
• Buyer. A signed-in user who claims and purchases a deal from a vendor.

5. Our marketplace role

This section matters. Please read it carefully.

We are not the seller of vendor SaaS or app subscriptions. Vendors sell to you directly through their own Stripe accounts. When you buy a deal, your contract for the SaaS or app plan is with the vendor, not with us. Your payment goes to the vendor's Stripe account. We do not hold your money, and we do not hold the vendor's money.

The vendor is responsible for the product, for giving you access, for support, for refunds under its own policy, for cancellations and renewals, for its taxes, and for disputes about its charges. We show the vendor's prices and terms as the vendor gives them to us. On every deal page we say so: "Pricing provided by vendor." and "Purchase and subscription managed by vendor."

The deal terms shown immediately before you leave for Stripe Checkout, together with the copy we retain when your purchase is confirmed, form part of your contract with the vendor. Those terms include the plan, features, first-year price, renewal price, refund policy, support destination, and cancellation destination. They do not make Envol the seller, and they do not waive any right that applicable law says cannot be waived.

What we sell in our own name is one cumulative Paid Rank service. The first confirmed payment publishes a verified listing and every dollar becomes its advertising total; reaching $19 total permanently unlocks deal creation for that listing. There is no separate listing or deal-access fee. This service is sold by Envol, Inc. and paid to us through Stripe.

We may help you contact a vendor, and we may remove a vendor from the Service. We cannot force a vendor to refund you, and we do not guarantee any refund. The Buyer Terms explain our limited remedies.

6. Paid placement is advertising

Positions on the TopSlash leaderboard are bought, except for the clearly disclosed $1 Laeli launch seed. Every ordinary position on that board is paid placement, stated as such on the Paid Placement Disclosure, which is linked from the footer of every page. The order is set by the cumulative confirmed amount each founder has paid for placement, highest first. Payment, not quality, determines the order.

A paid position is advertising. It is not a review, a rating, a recommendation, or a statement that one product is better than another. We do not test the products listed. Passing our verification means only that the website passed our safety and content checks.

The full rules, including the price ladder, ties, periods, and what happens during checkout, are in the Ranking Rules. The plain-language summary is on the Paid Placement Disclosure page.

7. Counters and numbers we show

We publish counters such as unique visitors, approved listings, confirmed placement revenue, unique outbound clicks, claims, verified purchases, and verified savings. Every counter comes from a real database query. We never add fake activity, fake urgency, fake countdowns, or fake "people viewing" numbers. Each counter has an exact definition, published at About: counter definitions. Read the definitions before relying on a number. For example, "claims" are checkout holds, not completed purchases, and "verified purchases" counts only payments confirmed by Stripe.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Break the law, or use the Service to help anyone break the law.
• List anything prohibited by the Listing Policy.
• Give false information about a product, a price, a discount, a renewal price, a refund policy, or your authority to list a product.
• Pay for placement with a payment method you are not authorized to use, or file a chargeback for a valid payment.
• Buy your own deal, or arrange for others to buy it in order to inflate counters.
• Create multiple accounts, or use another person's account, to get around a rule, a limit, or a ban.
• File false abuse reports or false appeals.
• Probe, scan, or test the security of the Service without our written permission; try to bypass Turnstile, rate limits, or other protections; or interfere with the Service or with other users.
• Send automated traffic that burdens the Service. Reading public pages at a reasonable rate is fine. Scraping at a rate that harms the Service, or to build a competing copy of our data, is not.
• Upload malware, or link to sites that spread malware, phishing, or unwanted software.
• Post content that is illegal, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, or that infringes anyone's rights.

We may remove content, suspend or end accounts, unpublish listings, and refuse service to anyone who breaks these rules.

9. Your content

Founders and vendors give us product names, descriptions, logos, screenshots, prices, features, and policy text. Buyers and visitors may send reports, appeals, and support messages. All of this is "your content".

You keep ownership of your content. You give us a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, adapt (for example, to resize an image or shorten a description), display, and distribute your content in order to run, promote, and improve the Service. This license lasts as long as your content is on the Service, and afterwards for copies that are part of our public bid history, our records, or our backups.

You promise that you have the rights needed to give us this license, and that your content does not break the law or infringe anyone's rights.

We do not check the truth of your content before publishing it. We may edit, hide, or remove any content at any time, with or without notice, if we believe it breaks these Terms or the law, or if we think removal is needed to protect users or the Service. We are not required to monitor content, and our moderation is not a guarantee that content is accurate or safe.

10. Reports and moderation

Anyone may report a listing from the listing page. We review reports and may unpublish a listing, pause a deal, or ban an account. Details of the removal and appeal process are in the Listing Policy. We may keep and publish moderation history, including the fact that a listing was removed.

11. Intellectual property

The Service, including its design, code, text we wrote, labels, counters, and the TopSlash name and logo, belongs to Envol, Inc. or our licensors. You may not copy, sell, or create derivative works from the Service, except for your own content and except as these Terms allow. "TopSlash" is a trademark of Envol, Inc. Product names and logos on listings belong to their owners.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, trademark, publicity right, or another legal right, email support@topslash.app with the subject "Rights notice". Identify the right, the material and exact URL, your contact details, the action you want us to take, and why you are authorized to submit the notice. For a copyright notice, also include a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner, and your physical or electronic signature. We may share the notice and your contact details with the person who submitted the material, review the claim, remove or disable access, ask for more information, and end the accounts of repeat infringers. This process does not represent that Envol has registered a designated agent under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

12. Payments

Paid Rank payments to us are processed by Stripe on Stripe-hosted checkout pages. We never see or store your full card number. Payments to vendors (deals) are also processed by Stripe, on the vendor's Stripe account. All prices on the Service are in U.S. dollars.

Any tax that Envol is required to collect on a payment to us will be shown before you authorize the charge. Vendors remain responsible for taxes on their own deal sales.

There are no platform credits, wallets, or stored-value accounts. Buyers do not pay any fee to claim or bid. Each founder listing has a cumulative Paid Rank total used only to calculate advertising position and whether the $19 deal-access threshold has been reached.

Placement payments are final except in the cases listed in the Refund & Finality Rules. Deal refunds are decided by the vendor under the vendor's own policy.

13. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

In particular, we do not promise that: the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; any listing, product, price, or counter is accurate; any vendor will deliver, support, or refund; any placement will bring visitors, clicks, sales, or any other result; or any product listed is safe, lawful, or good. Verification is a safety screen, not an endorsement.

Some places do not allow these disclaimers. In that case, they apply to the fullest extent allowed.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows:

• We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or loss of goodwill, even if we were told they were possible.
• We are not liable for the acts or omissions of vendors, buyers, or other users, or for any product, deal, or content supplied by them.
• Our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to Envol, Inc. for Paid Rank in the 12 months before the claim, and (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

These limits apply whatever the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise). Some places do not allow some of these limits. In that case, they apply to the fullest extent allowed. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

15. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Envol, Inc., its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: your content; your listing, deal, or product; your use of the Service; your breach of these Terms; or your violation of any law or any third party's rights. We may take over the defense of any claim covered by this section, and you agree to cooperate with us.

16. Governing law and where disputes are heard

These Terms and any dispute between you and us are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any dispute must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Either party may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court instead.

Before starting a lawsuit, you and we agree to send a written description of the dispute and the requested resolution and to try in good faith to resolve it informally for 30 days. You may send yours to support@topslash.app or our postal address above. We will send ours to the email address on your account. This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief or filing a claim before a limitation period expires.

17. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time, and you may delete your account from your settings.

We may suspend or end your access, unpublish your listings, pause or end your deals, and refuse future service, at any time, if we believe you have broken these Terms, the law, or the rules linked above, or if we believe it is needed to protect users, the Service, or Envol, Inc. We will normally tell you the reason category by email. Appeals are described in the Listing Policy.

Ending your access does not refund placement payments, except as stated in the Refund & Finality Rules. Public bid history is kept after termination. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5, 6, 9, 11, 13 to 16, and this Section 17) survive termination.

18. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may change or stop any part of the Service at any time. We may change these Terms. If a change is material, we will post the new version at https://topslash.app/terms with a new effective date and, if you have an account, email you at least 14 days before it takes effect. Changes that add a commission on deals, or that change the price ladder, follow the notice periods in the Vendor Terms and Ranking Rules. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the new Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service before the change takes effect.

19. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms, with the documents linked at the top, are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service.
• Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a rule right away, we can still enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms or your account to anyone else. We may transfer our rights and duties to a successor of our business.
• Notices. We send notices to the email address on your account. You send notices to support@topslash.app or to our postal address above.
• No agency. Nothing in these Terms makes you and us partners, employer and employee, or agents of each other. Vendors are independent businesses.
• Force majeure. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages at Stripe, Cloudflare, our hosting providers, or the internet at large.
• Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience only.
• Mandatory rights. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or waives a right or remedy that applicable law says cannot be excluded, restricted, or waived.
