Rules - Urise

Platform Rules

Eligibility and Verification

URise lists only authentic, actively maintained products. Every submission must represent a real product with a functional website and an identifiable founding team.

All free launches must complete verification before scheduling. Premium launches are exempt from badge verification but remain subject to all other rules.

You must be a founder, team member, or authorized representative
Product website must be live, accessible, and accurately represent the product
Free launches must install the official URise badge and pass automated verification
One listing per product. Duplicate or mirror listings are not permitted

Note: URise may request additional proof of ownership or affiliation at any time.

Launch and Content Standards

Launches are scheduled to ensure fair visibility. Each day has limited slots. Scheduling does not guarantee featuring.

All product content must be accurate, lawful, and owned or licensed by you.

Required for every listing

Accurate product name, description, and category
High-quality product imagery or video that reflects actual functionality
Functional website link. No URL shorteners, redirects, or affiliate links

Prohibited

Misleading claims, fake testimonials, or unverified metrics
Copied content, trademark infringement, or unauthorized use of third-party assets
Illegal products, gambling, adult content, or malware
Placeholder or pre-launch pages with no usable product

Fair Use and Ranking Integrity

Visibility across Homepage, Trending, Weekly Battles, Hall of Fame, and Search is determined by verified engagement, product quality, and activity. No single metric guarantees placement.

Any attempt to manipulate rankings undermines trust and results in enforcement.

Prohibited manipulation

Purchased upvotes, comments, followers, or traffic
Coordinated voting rings, bot accounts, or self-voting from alternate accounts
Spam commenting or mass unsolicited promotion
Impersonating other founders, companies, or URise staff

Note: URise audits ranking signals and reserves the right to discount inauthentic engagement without notice.

Community Conduct

URise is a founder-first community. Participation is expected to be professional and constructive.

Expected

Respectful, constructive feedback
Genuine experience-sharing based on actual use
Reporting spam or abuse instead of engaging with it

Not permitted

Harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks
Spam, advertising unrelated products, or repetitive self-promotion
Sharing private data or confidential information without consent

Enforcement and Appeals

Violations are reviewed based on severity, intent, and history. URise applies enforcement consistently to protect platform integrity.

Level 1 — Warning and content removal
Level 2 — Ranking demotion and loss of badges or featuring eligibility
Level 3 — Temporary suspension of launch and community privileges
Level 4 — Permanent removal and account termination

Note: To appeal, contact support with your product URL and violation notice within 14 days. Repeated or severe violations are not eligible for appeal. These rules may be updated at any time; continued use constitutes acceptance.

Intellectual Property and Reporting

You retain ownership of content you submit to URise. By launching, you grant URise a worldwide license to display, distribute, and promote that content across the platform, search, and social previews.

URise respects intellectual property rights. Do not submit content you do not own or have permission to use. Valid infringement claims result in prompt removal.

To report a violation, include

Product or profile URL
Description of the issue
Proof of ownership where relevant

Note: Knowingly false reports are treated as abuse and subject to enforcement under Enforcement and Appeals.
