Terms
Last updated 22 October 2026
Buy Me Mac (buymemac.com) is run by Afzal, an independent builder. These terms explain what you're buying when you book a sticker spot or contribute, and how payments and refunds work.
What this is
I'm raising $2,599 to buy a MacBook Pro 14" (M5 Pro, 24GB unified memory, 1TB SSD). You can help in two ways: book one of 20 sticker spots on the laptop and its accessories, or contribute any amount. Buy Me Mac is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc.
Sticker spots
- Each spot has a fixed price shown on the site. Every spot in the same group (for example, all four lid corners) costs the same.
- Spots are first come, first served. Once a spot is paid for, it's yours and can't be booked by anyone else.
- You provide your brand name, website and logo. After the goal is reached and the Mac is bought, your logo is printed as a die-cut vinyl sticker and placed on the spot you booked, and I share photos.
- Your brand is listed on the site with a link to your website for as long as the site runs.
Contributions
- You can contribute any amount from $1. Contributions are ranked by amount on the leaderboard; the top 12 also appear on the sides of the page.
- Your name, optional message, link and logo are shown publicly.
- A contribution is a one-time payment toward the Mac. If someone later contributes more and passes your rank, that isn't a reason for a refund.
Approval
I approve every brand, logo, name and message by hand. I don't accept gambling, adult content, scams, hate, illegal products, or anything I wouldn't be comfortable carrying around. If I don't approve a booking or contribution, I'll remove it and refund it in full.
Payments
Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, which acts as the merchant of record and handles card details, taxes and receipts. I never see or store your card details. Prices are in US dollars; Dodo may show your local currency and add applicable sales tax (such as GST or VAT) at checkout.
Refunds
- Full refund if I don't approve your booking or contribution.
- Full refund if two people pay for the same spot at the same moment — the second payment is refunded.
- Otherwise, payments are final once your spot or listing is live, because the space is reserved for you and the money goes toward the Mac.
- To ask about a refund, message @mohd_afzalx on X with your payment receipt.
The goal and the timeline
- As soon as the total raised reaches $2,599, I order the Mac and share the purchase publicly.
- The stickers go on once the Mac arrives.
- If the goal isn't reached by the end date, I'll top up the difference myself and still buy the Mac — so every booked sticker still goes on and every contribution still counts.
- Anything raised beyond the goal pays for travel and content with the Mac.
What I can't promise
Your brand will travel with me to cafés, coworking spaces and events, and appear in my build-in-public posts and videos — but I can't guarantee any number of views, clicks or impressions.
Changes and contact
I may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. Questions? message @mohd_afzalx on X.
