The fine print

Terms & content policy

The rules for submitting and paying for launches. In short: keep it legal and honest. Anything that breaks these terms can be removed without warning, and payments are non-refundable.

1. Using LaunchKoala

By submitting a product, paying for a launch, or otherwise using LaunchKoala, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, don’t submit. We may update these terms; continued use means you accept the current version.

2. Your submissions

You’re responsible for everything you submit — your product, its links, copy, images, and the site the badge points to. You confirm you made the product or have permission to submit it, and that it doesn’t infringe anyone’s rights.

3. How launches are reviewed

Free launches are reviewed by a person before they’re scheduled for a launch day.

Paid (priority) launches skip the review queue and go live on the date the maker chooses once payment clears, listed above free launches that day, and are shown in Featured products for a limited period starting on the launch date. Content rules below always apply, and a paid launch can be removed at any time under section 5.

4. Prohibited content

You may not submit or link to anything that:

  • is illegal, or promotes or facilitates illegal activity;
  • contains malware, phishing, scams, or deceptive or fraudulent functionality;
  • impersonates a person, brand, or organization, or misrepresents who made it;
  • is spam, low-effort filler, mass-duplicated, or exists mainly to farm backlinks;
  • is sexual content involving minors, non-consensual, hateful, harassing, or violent;
  • infringes copyright, trademark, or other rights, or violates someone’s privacy.

5. Removal without warning

We may remove, unpublish, or reject any submission at any time, with or without notice, at our sole discretion — including content that breaks section 4, or that we reasonably believe is harmful, deceptive, or a risk to the community.

Removal for a terms violation is not refundable. Paying for a priority launch does not buy immunity from these rules, and a removed paid launch is not eligible for a refund.

6. Payments and refunds

Priority launches are a one-time paid upgrade for earlier, automatic scheduling. Prices are shown before checkout and charged through our payment providers.

All sales are final. Payments are non-refundable, including if your product is later removed for violating these terms. Before paying, you can switch to a free launch at no cost.

Payment does not guarantee that your product stays listed — the content rules in sections 4 and 5 always apply.

7. Website verification & badges

Free launches require you to verify a website you control by placing a LaunchKoala badge on a public page. Removing the badge later doesn’t unpublish your product, but it may change how your listing links back to your site. Badge and winner marks are for products that have genuinely earned them.

8. No warranty; limitation of liability

LaunchKoala is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, we’re not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the service or from a submission being scheduled, listed, or removed.
