TERMS OF USE

Terms of use

The terms that apply to browsing Spotrove and to publishing a listing on it: what advertisers promise about their creative and claims, what review does and does not mean, how Spotlight placements work, and how to report a listing.

Last updated: 2026-09-25. Operated by Spotrove. Questions: contact@higglerslab.com.

1. What Spotrove is

Spotrove is an advertising directory. Every listing is an advertisement supplied by the person or organisation offering the product. Spotrove does not sell the advertised products, take payment for them, hold stock, ship anything, or act as an agent for any advertiser. Your contract for any product is with the advertiser, on their own website and terms.

2. Using Spotrove as a visitor

Browsing is free and needs no account. You agree not to scrape the site in a way that degrades it for others, not to interfere with measurement counters, and not to misrepresent a listing as an endorsement by Spotrove. Saved products and interests are stored in your own browser as described in the privacy notice.

3. Publishing a listing

By submitting a listing you confirm that:

  • you own or are licensed to use every image, video, name, and logo in the creative, and publishing it here infringes nobody’s rights;
  • the description, pricing, and product link are accurate and not misleading, and any claim you make is one you can substantiate;
  • the product and the landing page comply with the laws that apply to you and to the people who will see the listing, including advertising and consumer-protection rules;
  • the destination link is a working public HTTPS address for the product itself, not a redirect chain, download, or unrelated page.

You grant Spotrove a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, resize, and cache your creative and listing text for as long as the listing is published, and to include it in search-engine results, previews, and feeds. You may withdraw this by deleting the listing.

4. Prohibited listings

Spotrove does not publish listings for: adult content; weapons, explosives, or regulated drugs; tobacco, vaping, or alcohol sold across borders without the required licences; gambling; financial products promising returns; cryptocurrency offerings or token sales; multi-level marketing or income-opportunity schemes; counterfeit or replica goods; medical treatments or supplements making health claims; personal data or scraping-as-a-service; software designed to bypass security or to deceive; and anything unlawful, hateful, or targeting a private individual.

5. Review, rejection, and removal

Every submission is reviewed by a person before publication. Review is a check against these terms and the content rules. It is not an endorsement, a quality assessment, a ranking, or verification of any claim. Spotrove may reject a submission, remove a published listing, or suspend an account at any time — including for a broken link, a changed landing page, an unsubstantiated claim, a rights complaint, or a pattern of visitor reports — and will give a reason on the listing where it can.

6. Spotlight placements

Spotlight is an optional paid placement: ₹499 in India or $9 elsewhere, for one approved listing for 7 days. It gives priority ordering in the For you feed and a visible Spotlight label. It does not guarantee any number of impressions, clicks, visitors, or sales, and it does not relax review standards. The number of concurrent Spotlight placements in a category may be limited. Payment is taken through Razorpay, and the placement starts once payment is confirmed. It expires automatically and is not renewed unless bought again. If a listing is removed for breaching these terms during an active placement, the remaining days are not refunded.

Studio is an optional subscription for advertisers, billed monthly or yearly through Razorpay at the price shown when you subscribe. It renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your studio; you will not be charged again and keep Studio until the end of the period already paid for. Periods already charged are not refunded. If a renewal payment fails, Razorpay retries it for a few days before Studio ends. Deleting your account cancels the subscription immediately. A price change applies only to new subscriptions.

Other paid placements — Launch Day, sponsor banners on the homepage, category, or collection pages, and newsletter sponsor slots — run for the dates shown at checkout, are always labelled as paid, and are subject to the same content rules. A booked date or slot may move if a listing is removed for breaching these terms; the remaining value is not refunded in that case. The social post included with Launch Day is published at our discretion within a few days of the launch.

The verified business badge means we confirmed control of a domain through a DNS record and reviewed the business details you supplied. It is not an endorsement or a guarantee of the business or its products, and we may remove it if the details stop being accurate. The verification fee is not refunded if verification is declined.

Studio members can publish time-limited deals. A deal must be genuinely available on your site for its whole period. Some product buttons use partner (affiliate) links, which are disclosed next to the button; Spotrove may earn a commission from those.

7. Measurement

Reported impressions, clicks, and saves are de-duplicated once per visitor, per listing, per day, and retained for 90 days. They are best-effort discovery signals, not an audited audience measurement, not a fraud-detection system, and not a basis for billing. Spotrove does not attribute sales.

8. Reporting a listing

Any visitor can report a listing from its options menu. Rights holders and anyone with a legal complaint should write to contact@higglerslab.com with the listing URL, the nature of the complaint, and how to contact you. Spotrove aims to acknowledge within five working days.

9. Availability and liability

Spotrove is provided “as is” without a warranty of uninterrupted availability. To the extent the law allows, Spotrove is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or lost business arising from use of the site or from any dealing with an advertiser. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Advertisers indemnify Spotrove against third-party claims arising from their own listing content.

10. Ending your use

You may delete a listing at any time from the studio, and delete your account from the studio’s Account section. Deleting an account removes your listings and their counters permanently.

11. Changes to these terms

The date above changes when these terms change. Material changes affecting advertisers are sent to the account email. Continuing to use Spotrove after a change means accepting the updated terms.
