Donor name or URL submission instructions

To have either your name, your organisation name or a link to your website added to our Top Donors list, first make a donation then send an email to Substepr@gmail.com which clearly states either your name, your organisation name or your website URL along with the amount you donated, the local time you donated it (accurate to the minute if possible please) and your city and country (so that we know which time zone you're in).

Alternatively, if you don't want to tell us your city you could use Grenich Mean Time (London, United Kingdom), Eastern Standard Time (New York, United States) or otherwise clearly state your time zone when giving your local time. This is simply so that we can match up your name, organisation name or website URL with the donation amount we received.

If we decide not to list your website link on Substepr we can refund your donation amount. Please refer to the External website guidelines before sending your website URL.

When we say your link will be "permanent", we mean it will be on display for as long as we are willing to keep it on display but this is subject to the downtime of our server ("99.9% uptime guaranteed" by Hostgator). We reserve the right to remove your link without warning - for example, this may become necessary in order to protect our users from viruses but we hope that this will never need to happen and that you can enjoy our extra traffic for many years to come.

Your website is ranked according to your donation amount. A larger donation means a higher position in the Top Donors list. A higher position in the list means your link will be more visible and more highly regarded by our supporters and visitors. If a new donor gives a larger donation than you then your website link, and every link below yours, will be moved down in the list by one position to make room for the link of the new donor. To maintain your rank in the list you could easily send us another donation and tell us your URL and submission time (as above) so that we can update your total donation amount and update your position in the list accordingly (there is only one position and cumulative donation amount listed for each donor in the Top Donors list).

If you submit the same amount as another donor, you will be ranked below them in the list. In general, if there is more than one donor that submitted the same amount, they will be listed with the later donors lower down in the list and the earliest donors higher up (in chronological order down the list).

Donations made in a currency other than US dollars are converted into US dollars using the exchange rate at the time of donation. If the exchange rate changes later on, this will not affect the stated donation amounts on our Top Donors list.

As our number of supporters grows, your position in the list will be respected by more and more people. By donating at this early stage you'll avoid the competition and get the respect and traffic you deserve for being a pioneer and someone who can see the value in Substepr.
