Sponsor policy
Who is refused, decided upfront.
A prepaid sponsor cannot be quietly removed later without a refund, so the list of what won't go on the car is written down before the first bid rather than improvised after it. outdrive.lol is driven by a named person with a day job; the car goes to that job. That shapes the list.
Refused categories
- Gambling, betting and casinos (online or offline)
- Adult content and escort services
- Tobacco, vaping and nicotine products
- Weapons, ammunition and military contractors
- Political parties, campaigns and referendum committees
- Religious organisations and movements
- Payday lending, debt collection and get-rich-quick schemes
- Multi-level marketing
- Unregistered securities, token pre-sales without a Swiss or EU legal opinion, and anything FINMA would call a public offering
- Content that is hateful, discriminatory, or defamatory towards anyone
- Direct competitors of the driver's employer
- Anything illegal to advertise in Switzerland
How it's applied
- Every winning bid is reviewed against this list before the deposit is captured at close. A refused sponsor is told, the hold is released in full, and the slot goes back to auction for 72 hours at the previous price.
- Artwork is approved at size before it is cut. Logos, wordmarks and a URL are fine; slogans, claims and QR codes are reviewed case by case. Nothing that would embarrass the driver at work goes on the driver's car.
- Crypto, token, exchange and DeFi sponsors are welcome subject to the securities line above, and are prepaid-only. That is enforced at checkout, not by policy.
- If a sponsor's business changes category mid-term in a way that would have been refused at the start, the decal comes off and the remaining months are refunded pro-rata from the reserve.
