What you are paying for, and what you are not. The short version: the site is free, drawing mashups is free, and the daily leaderboard is free — a payment never buys an extra scored mashup, a point or a place. The only paid things are a voluntary donation, a one-off founding-supporter payment, and a Pro subscription for tools once it opens.
MixTheGrid.com is published and operated by Connect Bench, LLC, a limited liability company registered in New York, United States. It is the seller for anything bought here, and the other party to these terms. Using the free parts of the site is also covered by these terms, mainly the acceptable-use part below.
It is an independent fan project, not affiliated with Formula 1, the FIA, any team, any driver or any championship.
The generator, the mashup archive, the driver pages, the Hall of Fame and an account all cost nothing, and there is no advertising. Every account — free or paid — scores five mashups a day. That number is not for sale, because the daily board can carry prizes and a paid entry into it would be a different thing entirely.
No purchase is necessary for anything on the leaderboard. Nothing you can buy changes your odds, your score or your place.
The support page takes voluntary contributions: $3, $5, $10, or any amount you type. They are one-off.
A single one-off payment of $30, from the support page, with a limited number available. It is not a subscription: it does not renew, there is nothing to cancel, and it is never charged twice.
Pro is built and running for founding supporters and for accounts switched on by hand, but there is no subscription to buy yet. When it opens it will be:
Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. Card details go to Stripe and never to this server, which is why there is no card form here — you are handed to Stripe's own checkout. Prices are in US dollars; sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where the law requires it. Stripe emails the receipt.
Never send card details by email, and be suspicious of any message asking for them: this site will never ask.
Consumers in the UK and the EU have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase made online. The site honours that window for the founding-supporter payment and, once it exists, for a subscription's first payment — even though the tools start the moment you pay. Ask by email and it is refunded; you do not have to give a reason.
After the 14 days, cancel to stop future charges; a period already paid for is not refunded part-way. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law — including your right to a remedy if something is not as described. If a charge looks wrong, write to us before asking your bank for a chargeback: a chargeback reverses a payment we can usually trace and fix in a day.
Any prize the site ever offers is free to enter: no purchase or payment is necessary or advantageous, entry is the same daily draw every account already gets, and a payment never improves the chance. Prizes would be merchandise rather than cash, drawn at random among free entrants after the period closes, for adults (18+) in the countries named in the published rules. Official rules would be posted before any entry opens. The board is a game of chance with no stake, not a lottery, and it will not be turned into one.
The mashup archive is public and meant to be shared: a permalink may be posted anywhere. Driver photographs come from Wikimedia Commons under their own licences — Creative Commons Attribution, Attribution-ShareAlike or public domain — with the author and source credited on every page that shows one, so if you reuse a photograph, that licence and credit travel with it. Formula 1, the FIA, and team and driver names and marks belong to their respective owners; this site's use of them is nominative and unaffiliated.
The site is provided as it is: it is a small, independent project, so it is best-effort rather than guaranteed, and it may be corrected, changed or briefly unavailable. Connect Bench, LLC is not liable for indirect loss, and nothing here excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow to be excluded — nor any consumer right you have that cannot be waived.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. If you are a consumer, that does not take away the mandatory protections of the country you live in, and you may bring a claim in your own courts where the law lets you. Talk to us first: most things are a reply and a refund, not a dispute.
A change gets a new date on this page. A change that affects a price or a renewal is emailed to subscribers at least 30 days before it applies, and never affects a period already paid for.
Payments, refunds, cancellation and anything on this page: info@mixthegrid.com. For what the site stores about you, see the privacy policy.
