How the board is counted
- New paying customers: people whose first payment through a partner's links (ParcelLaunch, BuilderHeat, GruntPay or GroundTruth) falls in the month, counted once however many of the partner's codes they bought through. This is what the board is ranked by, and what wins the prize.
- A subscriber whose first month paid the partner 100% counts from their second payment, if it comes within the 60 days below.
- A partner's own purchases, and their own company's, do not count. Nor does a customer whose first payment was refunded in full or charged back (dated by the time the bank or we made it) by the end of those 60 days; a chargeback we win counts again.
- Months are calendar months in UTC. Results stay provisional for 60 days after a month ends, as refunds can still change them; then they are final, and the prize is paid with the first payout the winner qualifies for. A GruntPay or GroundTruth refund dated inside those 60 days that reaches us late can still change a final result until its prize is paid. A tie splits the prize.
- Partners show as first name and last initial. Test accounts and lot owners' codes are not on the board.
Partners never cold-text, cold-call or mass-DM strangers, never post on Craigslist and always say they earn a commission. A sale made by breaking those rules is not paid, and the partner account can be suspended. The full rules are in the partner terms.
