Rules for one real case and two faces.

The inventory

• Exactly two spots exist per cycle: Case Front and Case Back.
• The case is carried through meetings, cafés, airports and flights.
• Each cycle stays open for the published seven-day window.

How bidding works

• Choose one face and enter a whole-dollar bid at or above its next bid.
• Only a successful, provider-confirmed payment can lead a face.
• The next bid is the current confirmed bid plus 10%, rounded up to the next whole dollar, with a $1 minimum increase.
• Equal confirmed bids are ordered by the payment confirmed first.

Payment and refunds

• Your bid is a one-time payment through secure hosted checkout.
• A checkout that is still open or processing never reserves a face.
• If a higher confirmed bid displaces yours, the full charge is refunded automatically to the original payment method.
• A payment confirmed after the cycle closes cannot win and is refunded.

What the winner receives

• Your approved logo, name and link appear on the AirPods page for the cycle.
• Your logo is produced as a die-cut vinyl sticker on the matching physical face.
• The winning sponsor is recorded in the AirPods cycle history.
• No impressions, reach, clicks, leads or sales are promised.

Review and standards

• Every sponsor is reviewed before it is printed or published.
• No adult content, scams, malware, deceptive claims or link shorteners.
• You must have authority to promote the submitted destination.
• A rejected sponsor is refunded in full.
