Terms of Sale

These Terms of Sale set out the terms and conditions under which "Minecraft-ServerList.com" ("Minecraft-ServerList", "our", "we", "us") sells services on the website https://minecraft-serverlist.com, and the rights and obligations of everyone involved in these transactions. These Terms of Sale extend our general Terms of Service, which apply to all use of our platform.

1. Acceptance of Terms of Sale

By using or accessing Minecraft-ServerList.com or any of its subdomains, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Sale.

Purchasing any premium service on our platform constitutes full acceptance of these Terms of Sale. By making a purchase, you confirm that you are at least eighteen (18) years old, the legal age as defined by Dutch law, or that you have explicit permission from a parent or legal guardian.

2. Prices

Prices for our services are shown on the relevant service pages and during checkout. Featured Slots may be priced at a fixed rate or offered through a bidding system, and Premium Memberships are priced at a fixed rate per week. The price shown in EUR at checkout is the amount charged for your purchase.

Currency

All prices are set in Euros (EUR, €), and all checkout transactions are processed in EUR. For details on paying with a non-EUR payment method, see the Currency Conversion section.

Prices in Other Currencies

For convenience, prices may also be shown in other currencies based on your preferences, including but not limited to United States Dollars (USD, $), British Pounds (GBP, £), and Canadian Dollars (CAD, C$). These prices are estimates only. They include a markup of approximately 3% to cover currency conversion fees charged by PayPal or your financial institution. The amount charged in your currency may vary slightly, depending on the exchange rate at the time of payment.

Taxes and Fees

Unless stated otherwise, all listed prices include applicable government taxes and transaction fees.

Price Changes

We may change the prices of any of our services, including Premium Memberships and Featured Slots, at any time. Price changes do not affect completed purchases: the price of a purchase is always the price shown at checkout.

3. Premium Services

Minecraft-ServerList.com offers two separate premium services: Premium Memberships and Featured Slots. The two services are independent of each other and must be purchased separately; purchasing one does not give access to the other.

We reserve the right to refuse, restrict, or disable the purchase of any premium service for any server or account, at any time and at our sole discretion. For example, we may do so to prevent abuse or fraud, or when a server does not comply with our Terms of Service.

Featured Slots

Featured Slots give your server a prominent position on the front page and other high-visibility areas of our platform, for maximum exposure to potential players. Featured Slots may be priced at a fixed rate or acquired through auctions. Learn more.

Premium Memberships

A Premium Membership gives your server exclusive benefits that are not available to regular servers. Premium Memberships are priced at a fixed rate. Learn more.

4. Premium Membership

A Premium Membership unlocks exclusive benefits for your server, including increased visibility and features that are not available to regular servers. A distinctive gold-themed design and these exclusive features help your server attract more attention.

Guarantee

When you purchase a Premium Membership, we guarantee that your server receives all benefits listed on the Premium Membership page at the time of payment, for the full duration of the membership.

Eligibility

All servers are eligible for a Premium Membership. There are no restrictions or requirements based on server type, size, or status.

Duration

Premium Memberships are sold per week, for a minimum of 1 week and a maximum of 26 weeks. A server can hold an active membership of up to 26 weeks at a time. You can extend a membership, as long as the total remaining duration does not exceed 26 weeks.

Renewal

Premium Memberships do not renew automatically; the server owner must purchase each extension. Before a membership ends, we send a reminder to the email address associated with your account.

Banner Rotation

Servers with a Premium Membership are included in the premium banner rotation, which randomly shows participating servers on key pages of our platform. These pages include the homepage, all listing pages, and individual server pages, except the server pages of other participating servers.

If a server is offline for an extended period, it is temporarily hidden from the banner rotation until it is online again.

Results and Expectations

A Premium Membership increases your server's visibility on our platform. The attention your server receives during a Premium Membership is influenced by multiple factors. These may include, but are not limited to, the design of the server banner, the server name, supported game modes, the description, and overall platform activity, which may fluctuate due to seasonal or daily patterns.

Results may also be affected by the server's average player count: servers with a lower average player count may not see the same results as servers with higher player counts. Access to Premium Memberships is not restricted based on player count. However, a Premium Membership is intended to increase visibility and is not a guaranteed way to grow your server's visitors or player base.

A Premium Membership provides the benefits and placement described above for its full duration. No specific number of visitors, server page views, IP copies, votes, or new players is promised or implied.

5. Featured Slots

Featured Slots showcase your server across all listing pages on our platform, for maximum exposure and engagement. Your server always appears in the purchased position for the full placement period.

Guarantee

When you purchase a Featured Slot, we guarantee that your server will:

• Be prominently displayed across all listing pages on Minecraft-ServerList.com;
• Always appear in the purchased position for the full placement period, regardless of whether your server is online.

Eligibility

A server is eligible for a Featured Slot when it meets the following criteria:

• The server has been registered with us for at least seven (7) days;
• The server has a banner uploaded to our Service;
• The server uses a custom domain without a port (for example, play.awesome-mc-server.com) as its address;
• The server has averaged five (5) or more players online over the past seven (7) days, based on daily peak player counts;
• The server does not already occupy an active Featured Slot.

These criteria may change at any time. If a server does not meet the current criteria, the exact requirements are shown on the slot selection page.

Placement

The terms of a placement, such as the number of days your server will be featured, are clearly stated at the time of purchase.

Featured servers are not shown on the Cracked and Modpack pages, unless the server itself falls into one of these categories, for example because it is a cracked server or runs a modpack.

Upgrading

A server that occupies a Featured Slot may be upgraded to a higher available Featured Slot. An upgrade starts a new, full placement period in the new slot from the date of purchase. The current slot is released immediately and becomes available to others.

The price of an upgrade is reduced by the value of the remaining days in the current slot, as shown at the time of purchase. Remaining days are not transferred or refunded in any other way.

Checkout Reservation

When you start the checkout for a Featured Slot, the slot is reserved for you for a limited time, during which no one else can purchase it. If you do not complete the payment within this time, the reservation expires and the slot becomes available to others again. After a reservation expires, you may have to wait a short time before you can start a new checkout for the same slot.

A reservation does not guarantee the purchase of a slot. The purchase is only final once the payment has been fully processed.

Results and Expectations

A Featured Slot places your server in a prominent, high-visibility position on our platform. The attention your server receives while occupying a Featured Slot is influenced by multiple factors. These may include, but are not limited to, the design of the server banner, the server name, supported game modes, the description, and overall platform activity, which may fluctuate due to seasonal or daily patterns.

Results may also be affected by the server's average player count: servers with a lower average player count may not see the same results as servers with higher player counts. Access to Featured Slots is not restricted based on player count. However, a Featured Slot is intended to increase visibility and is not a guaranteed way to grow your server's visitors or player base.

A Featured Slot guarantees your placement for the purchased period. No specific number of visitors, server page views, IP copies, votes, or new players is promised or implied.

6. Auction and Bidding

Auctions are a way to secure Featured Slots, in which server owners compete for premium placement. Each auction is designed to be fair and transparent and to give all participants an equal opportunity. Auctions may not always be active. When no auction is active, Featured Slots can be purchased directly, if available.

We may change the auction rules, adjust slot availability, or take additional measures to keep the process fair and efficient.

Participation

By placing a bid, you agree to pay the full amount of your bid if it is among the winning bids when the auction ends. Winning bids secure Featured Slots for the upcoming period. The number of available Featured Slots and the length of the featured period are set for each auction separately and are shown on the auction page.

Payment

Payment for a winning bid must be completed within forty-eight (48) hours after the auction ends. If you do not pay within this time, you may lose your slot, and your account may be suspended and your servers removed.

Replacement Process

If a winning bidder does not pay, the slot is offered to the next highest bidder, who also has forty-eight (48) hours to complete the payment.

Currency Conversion

All bids are placed in EUR. After the auction ends, winning bidders may see estimated prices in other supported currencies for reference, but all payments are processed in EUR. For details on paying in other currencies, see the Currency Conversion section.

7. Payments

Payments for all services must be made through PayPal, provided by PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., a subsidiary of PayPal Holdings, Inc., or through other approved payment methods shown on our platform. Payment details and instructions are provided during checkout.

Billing Details

Before checkout, you will be asked to provide your first name, last name, and billing details, which you can review and update from your dashboard. You agree to provide accurate and complete billing details and to keep them up to date. Your billing details are processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Authorization

By making a payment, you confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method or account you provide. Unauthorized use of payment accounts is strictly prohibited and may result in the cancellation of services.

Receipt of Payment

After a successful payment, we send a receipt to the email address associated with your account.

Payment Processing

Services only start after the payment has been fully processed and the full price has been received. Delays in payment processing may affect the availability or start time of a service.

Currency Conversion

All checkout transactions are processed in Euros (EUR, €) only. For details on how prices are shown in other currencies and on the related conversion markup, see the Prices in Other Currencies section.

When you pay with a non-EUR payment method, PayPal or your financial institution converts the EUR amount to your local currency at their current exchange rate. Any additional conversion fees charged by PayPal or your financial institution are your responsibility.

Suspension or Cancellation

We may suspend or cancel any service, regardless of its nature or how long it has been active, in situations that include, but are not limited to, the following:

• A payment is delayed, declined, or found to be fraudulent;
• Unauthorized use of a payment account is detected;
• The buyer violates our Terms of Service or these Terms of Sale.

If a service is suspended or canceled because of unauthorized use of a payment account, a fraudulent transaction, or a chargeback, the related account and server may also be removed from Minecraft-ServerList.com.

8. Refunds

Refunds are governed by our separate Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms of Sale. The Refund Policy describes when refunds are issued, who is eligible, how long processing takes, and which administrative fees may apply.

9. Applicable Law

These Terms of Sale and their interpretation are governed by Dutch law.

10. Changes to these Terms of Sale

We may update these Terms of Sale at any time. Changes are posted on this page and take effect immediately after they are posted. We encourage you to review this page regularly, and always before making a purchase.
