Submitting a product
Submit accurate information about an active product you are authorized to represent. A draft is private until editorial approval. We may decline unsafe, misleading, duplicate or unsuitable submissions. Listing does not certify a product or guarantee visitors, rankings, AI citations or sales.
Free profiles and badges
An owner-submitted Free profile requires a visible badge or text link to its ToolPicnic profile. Nofollow links are accepted. Independently selected editorial profiles have no reciprocal obligation. Free profiles may book one 24-hour launch after approval, subject to availability.
Spotlight purchase
Spotlight costs USD 29.00 in one payment for one sponsored homepage position for seven consecutive UTC calendar days. This is not a subscription. The checkout total collected by ToolPicnic is USD 29.00. PayPal or your bank may apply currency conversion or other charges under their own terms. A badge is not required. A product profile, category listing, one available free launch and recorded profile activity are included.
Payment, then review
You pay on PayPal before editorial review. A completed server-verified payment moves the submission into review; it does not guarantee acceptance or reserve promotional dates. Pending, cancelled or failed payments do not activate a campaign. If we decline a paid submission, we request a full USD 29.00 refund to the original payment method. Your dashboard distinguishes a requested, pending and completed refund. A completed refund may take additional time to appear with your payment provider.
Campaign and launch dates
After approval, choose an available start date from tomorrow through the next 14 days. A Spotlight booking reserves all seven consecutive UTC days. The homepage has four sponsored positions in addition to twelve daily launch/editorial places. Each campaign keeps one position for the entire seven-day period. Slots are not held by unpaid or unapproved drafts. If your preferred dates are unavailable, choose another available period or contact us before the campaign starts to request a full refund. Your unused campaign does not expire while you wait for an available date.
One optional free launch uses a separate calendar and runs for a full UTC day. If a technical failure prevents delivery of a confirmed promotion, contact us so we can arrange replacement dates or an appropriate refund. Sponsored activity statistics count profile views and website clicks during campaign dates, from all sources, not unique visitors or guaranteed ad attribution.
Cancellation and support
For cancellation before your campaign starts, contact [email protected] from the email used for your submission and include the submission ID or PayPal transaction reference. Do not send your management key, password or payment card details. We offer a full refund for an unused campaign requested before its start. After a campaign has begun, contact us about delivery issues. These service terms do not limit any mandatory consumer rights that apply to your purchase.
Editorial independence
Payment buys labeled promotional space. It cannot buy an award, positive review or editorial test result. Sponsored outbound links use sponsored attributes. Buying Spotlight does not purchase inclusion in a comparison article. Those requests receive a separate editorial review.
Badge removal
The Free listing requires its reciprocal link to remain available. Our policy is to contact an owner and allow seven days to restore a missing link or change plan before withdrawing a profile. This release supports manual rechecks; automatic missing-badge monitoring and removal reminders are not enabled.
Private access and contact
Sign in with your contact email and a one-time code to manage your submissions from any device. Confirming the original contact address links older unclaimed submissions and retires their old management keys. Keep your inbox secure and never share sign-in codes. Existing unclaimed submissions can still use their older key until linked. ToolPicnic purchase, correction and support requests go to [email protected].
