Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-09-24

These terms are an agreement between you and TODO: Proprietor legal name (exactly as on PAN), a sole proprietor trading as TODO: Trade name (as on Udyam/GST) ("indbid", "we", "us"), of TODO: Full address, City, State, PIN. They apply when you use indbid.in or pay for a listing. Please read them with our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy.

1. Who can use indbid

You must be 18 or older and able to make a binding contract under Indian law. If you act for a business, you confirm that you are allowed to accept these terms for it.

2. What indbid is

indbid is a public board of sponsored listings. A listing is a link to a website, app or public profile, with a name and a short description. A listing's rank is the total amount paid for it. Nothing else changes rank: no algorithm, no reviews, no votes.

Every paid listing is labelled Sponsored. Rank shows who paid more. It is not a review, rating, endorsement or measure of quality. We check listings only against our content rules (section 7). We do not check or vouch for the products that listings link to.

3. What you are buying

When you pay, you buy advertising: display of a listing on the board, at the rank its total reaches. That is the whole service. It is delivered as soon as your payment succeeds (see our Delivery Policy).

• You get no reward, cash, gift, credit, points, discount or return of any kind, at any rank, on any board, on any day.
• A payment is not a deposit, wallet balance or stored value. It cannot be withdrawn, moved to another listing, transferred or resold.
• Rank is not property. It moves as other listings are paid for. A lower rank later is not a failure of the service.
• We do not promise any number of views, clicks or sales, or any effect on how search engines rank your site.
• indbid is not a game, contest or scheme of any kind, whether of skill or of chance. Nothing is paid out to anyone.

4. Prices and how rank works

• A new listing starts at ₹10. After that, you can add any whole-rupee amount from ₹1.
• To move a listing to #1, its new total must be at least ₹5 more than the current #1's total.
• One payment can be up to ₹9,99,999.
• If two listings have the same total, the one that reached it first ranks higher.
• All-time board: rank is the total of all payments for the listing. Today board: rank is what was paid since 12 midnight IST, and it resets every night at 12 midnight IST. Each payment counts on both boards.
• Category pages show the same ranking, limited to one category.
• Anyone can add money to any listing. Paying for someone else's listing gives you no control over it.
• Prices are in Indian rupees and include any GST that applies. You pay the amount shown at checkout and nothing more.

Founding listings were added free before launch. They show ₹0, were reviewed by a person before going live, and always rank below every paid listing. New listings are paid.

5. How long a listing stays up

A paid listing stays on the All-time board forever. There are no renewals and no recurring fees. We take a listing down only if it breaks these Terms or the law (section 7), or if the owner of the linked site, app or profile asks us to. Its rank still moves as others pay.

If indbid ever has to close, we will give at least 30 days' notice on the site and refund as set out in the Refund Policy.

6. Payments

Payments are handled by our payment gateway, Cashfree Payments (cashfree.com). You enter your card, UPI or bank details on Cashfree's checkout, not on indbid, and we do not store them. A payment is non-refundable once the listing is shown, except in the cases listed in the Refund Policy or where the law gives you a right to a refund. If you raise a chargeback for a listing that was delivered, we may hide the listing while the dispute is open.

7. Content rules

Only list a site, app or profile that you own or are allowed to promote. Listings must be truthful and lawful. You are responsible for your listing and for every claim made on the page it links to.

We do not accept listings for, or linking to:

• online money games (banned under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025), including fantasy sports and opinion or prediction trading for money; gambling, satta or matka; lotteries; or anything that promotes them, including surrogate ads;
• loan apps; unregistered lending, investment or crypto schemes; chit funds, multi-level marketing, pyramid or "money doubling" schemes;
• adult or sexual content, escort services, or anything that harms children;
• tobacco, e-cigarettes, illegal drugs, medicines sold without a licence, or claims to cure diseases;
• weapons, explosives, fake documents, counterfeit goods or hacking services;
• political parties, candidates or campaigns;
• chat or invite links (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and similar) and link shorteners;
• anything illegal in India, including content that belongs to someone else or infringes a copyright or trademark; impersonates a person or brand, including with fake or AI-altered images; invades someone's privacy; harasses people or insults them for their gender, religion, caste, race or ethnicity; promotes hate or violence; knowingly spreads false information; spreads malware; involves money laundering; or threatens India's unity, sovereignty, security, public order or friendly relations with other countries.

We check every listing automatically before payment. A person also reviews every new paid listing within 72 hours of its first payment. We may reject or remove any listing that breaks these rules or the law, or that a court or government order tells us to remove. Refunds for removed listings follow the Refund Policy.

8. Complaints and takedowns

If you think a listing is unlawful or breaks these rules, write to our Grievance Officer (details below). Under the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, as amended, we:

• acknowledge every complaint within 24 hours and resolve it within 7 days;
• act on complaints about unlawful content within 36 hours;
• remove nude, sexual or intimate images of a person, including morphed or AI-made ones, within 2 hours of a complaint by that person or someone acting for them;
• act on valid court or government orders within 3 hours.

If your site, app or profile was listed without your permission, tell us and we will remove it. If you are not happy with the Grievance Officer's decision on a complaint about content, you can appeal to the Grievance Appellate Committee within 30 days, at gac.gov.in.

9. Permission to show your listing

You allow us to show your listing's name, link, description, category, state and rank on indbid, in link previews and share images, and to search engines, for as long as it is listed. Listing links are marked as sponsored for search engines.

10. What you must not do

• Use stolen cards or accounts, or use indbid to test payment methods.
• Use bots or scripts to create listings or orders.
• Overload the site, scrape it at scale, or try to break into it.
• Try to change a rank in any way other than by paying.

11. Our responsibility

We run indbid with care, but provide it "as is". We are not responsible for the sites and products that listings link to. As far as the law allows, our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the listing concerned in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, or any liability that the law does not allow us to limit.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will post the new version here with a new date and show a notice on the site. We also show a reminder of these terms at least once a year. Changes do not affect payments made before the change. If you keep using indbid after a change, the new terms apply.

These terms are in English. To get them in any language listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, write to us.

13. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at TODO: City have jurisdiction. This does not stop you from going to any consumer commission that the law allows you to use.
