Terms
The rules for having an account and buying on this site.
Version 2026-11-xx
Who these terms are between
These terms are between you and [[LEGAL REVIEW]] set COMPANY_LEGAL_NAME (address: [[LEGAL REVIEW]] set COMPANY_POSTAL_ADDRESS). By using the site you agree to them. [[LEGAL REVIEW]]
How we handle your data is in the privacy page.
Accounts
- You must be 13 or older to have an account.
- One person, one account. Keep your sign-in email to yourself: anyone who can read it can sign in as you.
- Do not try to cheat the vote or the League: no bots, no fake accounts, no scripts. We may close an account that does, and we may leave votes out of the count (the rules say how, and every exclusion is logged).
- You can delete your account at any time from your account page.
Purchases
- You must be 18 or older to buy anything.
- Prices are in US dollars and are shown before you pay. You pay once, on Stripe's checkout page. Nothing renews.
- Taxes: the price shown includes or excludes tax as the checkout page says. [[LEGAL REVIEW]]
- Everything we sell is digital: a place in the show, never a physical thing.
Digital perks and refunds
- You may ask for a refund of a Founder's Pass or a boost within 14 days of buying it by writing to [[LEGAL REVIEW]] set PRIVACY_CONTACT_EMAIL. [[LEGAL REVIEW]]
- Because a pass and a boost are delivered at once, you agree that the perk starts straight away. [[LEGAL REVIEW]]
- A refund, or a dispute with your bank or card issuer, takes the perk away: the pass, its place on the board or the boost points.
- The terms for a Business Cameo, including its refunds, are on the Business Cameo terms.
Founder's Pass
- A Founder's Pass gives you a founder number, your chosen name on the case board in an upcoming part, a place on the Most Wanted board and early news.
- The number is yours alone and is never given to anyone else, even if the pass is refunded, revoked or its account deleted.
- The case board shows founders in the order of their numbers, in an upcoming part. We do not promise which part or when.
- One pass per person for the series. The price is the one shown when you buy; it can be higher for later founders.
- Buying never affects a vote, the winner of a vote or the League. It never will.
Display names
The name you choose for the case board is read by a person on our team before it is shown. We may refuse any name, and we will refuse a name that:
- is someone else's name or handle, or a business, brand or website;
- is hateful, sexual, threatening or political;
- tries to advertise, or to pass as the show or its team.
A name you have changed or lost the pass for is taken off the case board for any part that has not been made yet.
Boosts
- A boost is $10, $20 or $50, for 10, 20 or 50 points on the Most Wanted board. Only founders can buy one.
- Points rank founders on the board and do nothing else: they carry no vote and they never change the League.
Business Cameo
A paid placement in a part of the show is sold under the Business Cameo terms. Every placement is labelled as an ad.
Votes
Votes are free, and counted under the published rules. We may change the rules for later parts, never for a part people have already voted in.
Your comments and our content
When you comment on our posts you do so on that platform, under its terms. We may read, count and quote public comments to run the show, and we credit a theory that came true by the handle it was made under, unless you asked us to forget you. [[LEGAL REVIEW]]
The show, its characters, its pictures and its words belong to [[LEGAL REVIEW]] set COMPANY_LEGAL_NAME or to those who licensed them to us. [[LEGAL REVIEW]]
Our responsibility
The site is provided as it is. We do not promise it will always be available, and we are not responsible for what platforms do with the posts and comments they host. The law gives you rights that these terms cannot take away. [[LEGAL REVIEW]]
The law of the place where [[LEGAL REVIEW]] set COMPANY_LEGAL_NAME is based applies to these terms. [[LEGAL REVIEW]]
Changes
If these terms change in a way that matters, we say so on the site before the change applies. This is version 2026-11-xx.
