ShipOrCry is operated by Avalore Ltd. It is an independent, free 30-day software business challenge running from 16 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC to 16 December 2026 at 17:00 UTC. There is no affiliation with ShipOrDie and no exclusivity requirement.
Community membership, ranked eligibility, active participation, disqualification and completion are different statuses. Free community access does not establish prize eligibility.
Your account and submissions
Supply accurate information, verify your account and protect your credentials. You are responsible for actions you authorise through the website or an AI agent. Do not impersonate another person or give an agent access you do not intend.
You retain ownership of your product and original content. You permit the service to store and display submitted material to the audience selected in the platform, as needed to operate the event. Public promotion beyond that audience requires a separate appropriate permission. Do not submit material you have no right to share.
Competition commitments
Every project declaration enters the competition, appears on the public builders wall and is discoverable by other participants. Entrants commit to one qualifying new software business and check-ins every 72 hours. The Rules page explains permitted iteration and missed-deadline consequences. Original declarations are locked. Administrative corrections need a reason and audit trail.
All financial claims require honest evidence. Rankings are provisional until verification. The final profit methodology, tie-breaks and dispute timetable must be published before kickoff.
Community conduct
No harassment, abusive content, unlawful activity, spam, fraud, fake transactions, malicious code, credential theft or interference with the service. Respect privacy and intellectual property. Administrators may restrict access to address abuse and should record the reason.
Report suspected misuse to hello@shiporcry.com. Do not publish another participant’s private update or contact information without permission.
Perks, prizes and supplier support
There is no promised prize value or perk unless confirmed and published with its conditions. A proposed award category is not a funded award. Supplier restrictions and expiry dates may apply. Recommendations do not automatically redeem an offer.
No payment or donation is required to enter. Paid sponsorship is disabled at launch. Any future commercial arrangement requires separate agreed terms, manual invoicing and a published allocation policy before money is accepted.
Service changes and outcomes
Building a product or joining a community does not guarantee revenue, customers, investment, supplier benefits or business success. The organiser should communicate material event changes promptly and fairly, with reasons. Competition rules should not be changed retroactively to disadvantage entrants.
No blanket exclusion of legal rights or final liability wording is approved in this draft. Applicable consumer rights, liability, governing law, cancellation and dispute terms require review appropriate to the confirmed operator and eligible territories.
Privacy and unresolved details
Read the Privacy Notice for intended data use and visibility. Both documents remain drafts pending completion and final review by Avalore Ltd. Age eligibility, international entry, tax treatment, prize-promotion compliance, evidence handling and the final complaint process must be resolved before ranked competition begins.
