Terms of service

Who we are

Steal My Ad (stealmyad.com) is operated by X-Datik Technologies S.L., tax id B27537000, Carrer Cardenal Gomà 31, 17178 Vall d'en Bas, Girona, Spain (“we”). Contact for anything in these terms, including notices from authorities: hello@stealmyad.com. We answer in English and Spanish.

Commercial Registry (Registro Mercantil) details: pending, they will be published here.

What you buy

You buy an advertising service: we publish your content (an image, a headline and an optional link) on the single screen of this site and keep it there until another purchase at double your price is confirmed. That purchase can be yours. There is no minimum or maximum time; the next purchase can come a month later or a minute later. The price is always double the last confirmed purchase, starting at $1, and it is shown before you pay.

You are buying the screen, not approval of your content. Content that does not pass the content rules is not shown, but you still hold the screen and can replace the content.

You must be 18 or older to buy.

This is a sale of advertising space. It is not a game of chance, an auction, a deposit or an investment: every buyer gets the screen, there is no prize, and no part of any payment ever goes to an earlier holder.

Payments are final

You get no refund when another buyer takes the screen, whether that happens after a week or after a minute. That is the service you bought, and it has been delivered in full the moment someone pays double.

You get no refund when your content is rejected by the filter or removed under the content rules. You keep the screen and can put up different content.

The only exceptions are:

• A tie: two purchases at the same price confirmed within seconds of each other. The later one is refunded in full, automatically, and leaves the chain.
• Our own failure: you were charged and did not get the screen, you were charged twice, or the site was down for more than 24 hours while you held the screen. We refund, or extend your time, whichever makes you whole.
• Withdrawal by a consumer within 14 days while still holding the screen, under the next section.
• If we shut the site down for good, the person holding the screen at that moment is refunded in full.
• Rights you cannot waive under the law of the country where you live.

Any other refund is a courtesy, at our sole discretion, and does not create a right to the next one. Refunds go back to the card you paid with; a refunded purchase leaves the chain and the history.

Right of withdrawal (consumers)

This section applies only if you are a consumer: an individual buying for reasons outside your trade, business or profession.

When you pay, you expressly ask us to publish your content immediately, inside the 14-day withdrawal period, and you acknowledge that the service is fully performed, and your right of withdrawal lost, at the moment another purchase takes the screen. Until that moment you may withdraw within 14 days of your purchase by writing to the address above (you can use the model form at the end of these terms). We then take your content down, your purchase leaves the chain, and we refund the price minus a proportionate amount for the days your content was on the screen, taking the 14-day period as the reference: price × days displayed ÷ 14, each started day counting as a whole day. Legal basis: articles 98.8, 103 a) and 108.4 of the Spanish consumer law (Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2007) and articles 7, 14 and 16 of Directive 2011/83/EU.

If you buy for business purposes (for example to advertise your company, shop or project), you are not a consumer, you have no right of withdrawal, and all payments are final except for our own failure and the tie refund.

Content rules

You are responsible for the headline, link and image you submit and confirm that you have the rights to use them. We do not publish, and we remove:

• Anything illegal under European Union or Spanish law: child sexual abuse material, terrorism, incitement to hatred or violence, defamation, breaches of privacy or image rights, infringement of copyright or trademarks, illegal goods or services, unlicensed gambling, fraud.
• Sexual content or nudity; graphic violence or gore.
• Hate, harassment, or content about an identifiable private person without their consent, including personal data of third parties.
• Scams, phishing, impersonation of people or brands (including of this site or X-Datik), malware, or links to any of these.
• Drugs, weapons, promotion of self-harm or eating disorders.
• Medical or financial claims and offers: medicines, crypto or investment “opportunities”, get-rich schemes.
• Political advertising in any form.
• Advertising that is illicit under the Spanish advertising law: against human dignity, sexist, aimed at minors, subliminal, misleading or aggressive.
• Spam, content that is deceptive or illegible, or content designed to break the page.

We may also reject or remove content that is not listed above but is comparable in seriousness: content likely to cause serious offence or harm to a reasonable visitor, or that exposes us or third parties to legal risk. We decide case by case, taking into account freedom of expression, the context and the least restrictive measure available (for example asking you to change the content before removing it). Ordinary businesses, jokes, memes, self-promotion, opinions and competitors' ads are fine.

How moderation works

Before publication, every display name, headline, link domain and image is checked by an automatic filter (an AI model) against the rules above. A person may review any content at any time, on our own initiative or after a report from a visitor.

What can happen: content is rejected before publication, removed from the screen after publication, or hidden from the history. The screen then shows your name with “content not published”. In every case you keep the screen, the price has still doubled, and you can submit different content from the link in your email, as many times as you want.

Every rejection or removal comes with a reasoned notice by email: what was done, the facts we relied on and whether a report triggered it, whether an automated tool was used, which rule applies, and how to contest. To contest, reply to that email: a person reviews it and answers. You may also complain to the Spanish Digital Services Coordinator (CNMC) or go to court. We apply these rules diligently, objectively and proportionately, as required by the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065), and we keep a log of each decision.

If we wrongly rejected lawful content and a review confirms it, we publish it; if you could not use the screen at all because of our error, we refund you.

Reporting content

Anyone can report the current content with the “Report this ad” link on the home page. Tell us why you think it is illegal or breaks the rules, and leave an email if you want to know the outcome. Reports are handled in a timely, diligent and objective way; we may ignore repeated or abusive reports.

The history is public

The name you choose, the price you paid, the dates and your content (unless removed) are shown publicly in the history for as long as the site exists. Do not use a name you do not want associated with your content. The screen shows who paid for it and how much: that is the paid-placement notice required by Spanish advertising law.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to display your content on this site and in material about this site (for example screenshots and videos), for as long as the site and that material exist.

Payment and taxes

Payments are processed by Stripe, by card. Prices are in US dollars and are final: the price shown is the price you pay. For buyers in the European Union it includes VAT; buyers elsewhere pay the same amount with no tax added. Stripe sends you the receipt; we send you an order confirmation with these terms. On your card statement the charge ends in STEALMYAD. Above $999,999.99 a purchase cannot be made through the site.

The contract is concluded when your payment is confirmed. It is in English or Spanish, as you chose; we keep a record of it (the purchase, the time of your consent, the version of these terms, and your IP address and browser) as proof of the contract and to defend against fraud and payment disputes. You can correct what you typed until you press the pay button.

Availability and liability

We may suspend or stop the site. If we stop it for good, the holder at that moment is refunded in full; nobody else is. We are not liable for lost profits, lost visibility or any indirect damage; our liability is limited to the amount of your last purchase. Nothing here limits rights you have as a consumer under applicable law.

Changes to these terms

This is version 2026-10-25. Each purchase is governed by the version in force when you paid, which is the one we email you. If we change the terms in a way that matters, we say so on this page with the date of the change.

Law and disputes

Spanish law applies, without depriving consumers of the mandatory protection of the law of the country where they live. Consumers in the European Union may also use the online dispute resolution platform of the European Commission. Courts of Girona, Spain, unless mandatory consumer rules say otherwise.
