The terms of using SuperPublic.

By creating an account, submitting a launch, voting, or commenting on SuperPublic, you agree to these terms and to our privacy notice. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

These terms form a binding agreement between you and the operator of SuperPublic. The shorthand “we,” “us,” and “our” refers to that operator throughout.

You may use SuperPublic if you are at least sixteen years old and capable of forming a binding contract where you live. If you are using the site on behalf of a company, you represent that you’re authorized to bind that company.

Submission eligibility is narrower than account eligibility. The site is for indie founders only — bootstrapped, pre-seed, or angel-funded. If your company has raised an institutional Series A or beyond, or is a household-name brand, we reserve the right to remove submissions on those grounds. Read the full guidelines.

You’re responsible for everything that happens under your account. Keep your credentials private. Don’t share accounts. If you suspect unauthorized access, write to us immediately and we’ll lock the session.

You can delete your account at any time from your account settings. Deletion is final.

When you submit a launch, comment, or any other content, you keep ownership. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, distribute, and reformat that content so we can run the site, send digests, and let other users discover it. This license ends when you delete the content, except where we need to retain it to comply with the law or to enforce these terms.

You promise that the content you submit is yours to submit, that it doesn’t infringe anyone else’s rights, and that the product or company described is real, working, and accurately represented.

SuperPublic verifies founder status through domain ownership and other reasonable signals before granting access to the Founder Club Discord and certain account privileges. You agree not to spoof these signals or claim credit for products you didn’t build. If our checks indicate that a submission is misattributed, we may remove it.

These are the rules that keep the register readable. Breaking them is the surest way to lose access.

• No vapor. Submissions must link to a working product. Beta is fine; a screenshot is not.
• No spam. One submission per product. Re-submissions get merged.
• No vote rings. Coordinated voting is grounds for removal of the submission and the participating accounts.
• Be kind. Comments should help founders, not bury them.
• No abuse, harassment, or illegal content. We will remove it on sight.

Votes are public-facing signals of community interest. They are not a popularity contest and not a guarantee of placement. Comments must be your own; impersonating another founder, user, or commenter is prohibited. We may rate-limit, hide, or remove votes and comments that appear automated, coordinated, or abusive.

The SuperPublic name, wordmark, typography, design system, and software are ours (or licensed to us) and protected by intellectual property law. Don’t copy them onto a competing product. You’re welcome to link to the site and quote short excerpts with attribution.

If you believe content on the site infringes your copyright, write to us with the location of the material, a description of the infringement, and your contact details. We’ll respond promptly.

We can suspend or close any account that violates these terms, breaks the house rules, or compromises the integrity of the register. Where the breach is minor we’ll usually warn first; where it’s severe (vote manipulation, harassment, illegal content) we’ll act immediately.

You can close your account at any time. Surviving provisions — intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability — continue after termination.

The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don’t guarantee that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, and we don’t endorse the products or claims of any submission.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SuperPublic and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the site. Our aggregate liability for any claim relating to the site is limited to one hundred US dollars (US $100).

We may revise these terms as the product evolves. Material changes will be announced on the site and, where reasonable, by email to active accounts. Continued use after the effective date of a revision means you accept the revised terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the operator’s place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes that aren’t resolved by friendly correspondence go to the courts located there. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect.

We read every message. We won’t hand you off to a ticket robot.
