The fine print. Payments here are voluntary tips for this website: its staircase, its spectacle, and its permanent public record. In return you receive a permanent digital acknowledgment: your steps, and the name and message you optionally attach to them. No physical goods exist. All payments are final; there are no refunds.

This is not a charity, nothing here is tax-deductible, and no charitable purpose is claimed or implied. One person operates this site and will, if this works, simply have $1,000,000 (minus fees and taxes).

Names and messages are moderated. Hateful or abusive attribution is removed without refund; the steps remain, anonymous forever. Payment processing is handled by Stripe. This site never sees or stores card details. The only personal data stored here is the name and message you choose to leave.
