CHIPS TERMS OF SERVICE

Version 1.0 β€” Last updated September 2, 2026 β€” Effective September 2, 2026

IMPORTANT NOTICE β€” PLEASE READ BEFORE USING CHIPS

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE ARE A BINDING LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND THE OPERATOR OF CHIPS. BY CONNECTING A WALLET TO, CREATING AN ACCOUNT ON, DEPOSITING TO, PLACING A BET ON, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING CHIPS, YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU MUST NOT USE CHIPS.

In particular, please note the following. This summary is for convenience only and does not replace the full Terms.

  • You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age where you live, if higher), and you must not be located in, or accessing Stonksino from, a Restricted Jurisdiction (Section 3 and Schedule A).
  • Gambling involves a real risk of loss. Every Game has a house edge, which means that over time the house is expected to win. Never wager more than you can afford to lose (Sections 6 and 12).
  • Stonksino uses memecoins on Solana. These tokens are extremely volatile, may have little or no liquidity, and may become worthless at any time (Section 5.7).
  • Your Balance on Stonksino is a custodial ledger entry backed by tokens that we hold. It is not a bank deposit, it is not insured, and it does not earn interest (Section 5.3).
  • Every Stonksino Originals outcome is generated under our Fairness Guarantee and can be independently verified (Section 8 and Schedule B).
  • Exploiting a bug, using unauthorized automation, operating multiple Accounts, or evading a ban results in permanent termination, forfeiture of exploited or evading funds, and possible legal action and recovery of costs (Sections 9, 10 and 11).
  • Section 18 limits our liability and the liability of every member of the Stonksino team. Section 20 contains a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver.

1. ABOUT CHIPS; DEFINITIONS

1.1 The Operator. Stonksino ("Stonksino", "we", "us" or "our") is an online gaming platform available at stonksino.xyz and its subdomains, together with all related web applications, mobile experiences, application programming interfaces, smart contracts, bots, verification tools and services that we make available (collectively, the "Platform"). The Platform is owned and operated by [OPERATOR ENTITY], a company incorporated in [JURISDICTION OF INCORPORATION] under registration number [REGISTRATION NUMBER] with its registered address at [REGISTERED ADDRESS] (the "Operator"). [If licensed: The Operator holds gaming license number [LICENSE NUMBER] issued by [LICENSING AUTHORITY].]

  • "Solana" means the Solana public blockchain network on which the Supported Assets exist and settle.
  • "Supported Asset" means a token on Solana that we have listed on the Platform for deposit, wagering, trading or withdrawal, as displayed on the Platform from time to time.

"Solana" is a trademark of its owner and is used only to identify the network on which the Platform operates.

2. ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS; CHANGES

2.1 Acceptance. You accept these Terms by doing any of the following: clicking to accept them; connecting a wallet to the Platform; signing an authentication message; creating an Account; depositing any asset; placing any Bet; or otherwise accessing or using any part of the Platform. If you use the Platform on behalf of another person you do so in breach of Section 4.5 and these Terms apply to you personally.

2.2 Capacity. You represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract and that nothing in your circumstances or in the law that applies to you prevents you from doing so.

2.3 Changes to these Terms. We may amend these Terms at any time. When we make a material change we will post the updated Terms on the Platform with a new "Last updated" date and, where reasonably practicable, notify you by a notice on the Platform or by email at least seven (7) days before the change takes effect. Changes required by law, or that are needed to address security, fraud, abuse or an Exploit, may take effect immediately. Your continued use of the Platform after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms. If you do not agree to an amendment you must stop using the Platform and withdraw your Balance in accordance with Section 5.4.

2.4 Changes to Games and promotions. We may change the Game Rules, house edge, limits, rakeback rates, XP rules, leaderboard rules, promotions and bonuses at any time. Changes apply only to Bets placed and promotions entered after the change is published; they never apply retroactively to a Bet that has already been accepted.

2.5 Order of precedence. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Service and any Game Rules or promotion terms, the Game Rules or promotion terms prevail for that Game or promotion only. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy on a matter concerning personal data, the Privacy Policy prevails.

2.6 Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is provided for convenience only, and the English version prevails.

3. ELIGIBILITY AND RESTRICTED JURISDICTIONS

3.1 Eligibility requirements. You may use the Platform only if all of the following are true, and you represent and warrant on each access that they are true:

  • you are at least eighteen (18) years old and at least the minimum legal age for gambling and for entering into contracts in the place where you are located and in the place where you reside, whichever is higher;
  • you are not located in, resident in, a citizen of (where citizenship alone triggers a prohibition), or accessing the Platform from a Restricted Jurisdiction;
  • it is lawful for you to access and use the Platform, to hold and use crypto-assets and to gamble online under every law that applies to you, and you have verified this yourself before using the Platform;
  • you are acting on your own behalf, using your own wallet and your own funds, and not as the agent, trustee or nominee of any other person;
  • you are not a person, and are not acting on behalf of a person, who is subject to sanctions administered by the United Nations, the United States (including the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list), the European Union, the United Kingdom or any other applicable authority, and you are not located in a comprehensively sanctioned country or region;
  • you have not previously been banned or suspended from the Platform, and you are not currently self-excluded from the Platform or from gambling generally under any applicable scheme;
  • you are not a Stonksino Party, or a member of the immediate family or household of a Stonksino Party, unless you are using a test Account designated in writing by the Operator and you are not wagering for real value;
  • you understand and accept the risks described in these Terms; and
  • the funds and wallets you use are not derived from, connected to or intended for any unlawful activity.

3.2 Location controls. We use IP geolocation, VPN and proxy detection, device signals, wallet analytics and other tools to determine where you are accessing the Platform from and to block access from Restricted Jurisdictions. Using a VPN, proxy, Tor, remote desktop, mirror site, a third party's Account, false location information or any other method to disguise your location or to circumvent our controls is a material breach of these Terms. If we determine that you have accessed the Platform from a Restricted Jurisdiction we may close your Account, void any Bets and winnings obtained while so located, and, subject to applicable law and Sections 10 and 11, return your net verified deposits to the wallet from which they originated.

3.3 Changes in law or location. If the Platform becomes unavailable in your location, whether because of a change in law, a change in our licensing or risk assessment, or because you move, we may restrict or close your Account. Where lawful we will give you a reasonable opportunity to withdraw any legitimate Balance before closure.

3.4 Verification. Stonksino does not require identity documents to open an Account. However, we reserve the right at any time, in our sole discretion or where required by law, a regulator, a court, a counterparty or a service provider, to require you to verify your identity, age, residence, location, ownership of a wallet (for example by signing a message), and the source of your funds or wealth. We may suspend your Account, withhold withdrawals and refuse to accept Bets until verification is completed to our satisfaction. If you do not complete verification within thirty (30) days of a request, we may close your Account and, subject to applicable law and Sections 10 and 11, return your net verified deposits to the wallet from which they originated. We may use third-party providers to carry out verification, and any information you provide is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

3.5 Taxes. You are solely responsible for determining, reporting and paying any taxes, duties or levies that apply to your deposits, winnings, trades, rewards or withdrawals. We do not provide tax advice and we do not withhold or report taxes on your behalf unless required by law.

4. ACCOUNTS AND WALLETS

4.1 Wallet-based Accounts. You create an Account by connecting a self-custodied wallet that is compatible with Solana and signing an authentication message. You may optionally register a username and an email address, enable two-factor authentication ("2FA"), generate 2FA recovery codes, add withdrawal addresses to your Withdrawal Address Book, and manage active device sessions. We never have access to, and never ask for, your wallet's private keys or seed phrase.

4.2 One Account per person. You may open and use only one Account. Opening, controlling or using more than one Account (including through a different wallet, email, device or identity, or through another person), whether at the same time or in sequence, is prohibited. If more than one person in your household or on a shared device or network uses Stonksino, you must tell us in advance at support@stonksino.xyz; otherwise we may treat all such Accounts as controlled by one person for the purposes of Sections 9, 10 and 11. We may treat Accounts that share wallets, funding sources, devices, network signals, behavioral patterns or other links as being controlled by the same person.

4.3 Your security responsibilities. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet, private keys and seed phrase, your email account, your 2FA device and recovery codes, your devices and your network. All activity that occurs through your Account or your connected wallet is deemed to have been carried out by you, whether or not you authorized it, unless and until you notify us of a compromise and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act. You must notify us immediately at security@stonksino.xyz if you believe your wallet, Account or device has been compromised. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Stonksino Parties are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized access to your wallet, Account or device, including phishing, malware, SIM swapping, malicious browser extensions, malicious wallet-drainer signatures, or your sharing of credentials or recovery codes.

4.4 Sessions and devices. You can view and terminate active sessions from the Device Session Management area of your Account. We may terminate sessions, require re-authentication, or require 2FA for specific actions (such as withdrawals or changes to your Withdrawal Address Book) at any time.

4.5 No transfer, sharing or agency. You may not sell, rent, lend, share, transfer or otherwise give any other person access to your Account or Balance, and you may not use your Account to place Bets, deposit or withdraw on behalf of any other person. You may not use any other person's Account.

4.6 Account information. Any information you provide must be accurate and kept up to date. You must not choose a username that is offensive, misleading, that impersonates any Stonksino Party or other person, or that infringes any right. We may change or remove usernames at our discretion.

4.7 Closing your Account. You may close your Account at any time by withdrawing your entire Balance and contacting support@stonksino.xyz or using the closure option in your Account settings. We may retain records as described in the Privacy Policy and Section 11.7.

4.8 Dormant Accounts. An Account that has had no login, Bet, deposit or withdrawal for twelve (12) consecutive months is "dormant". We will make reasonable efforts to contact you using the details on your Account before treating it as dormant. We may charge a monthly dormancy fee of up to [β€’] percent of the Balance (never exceeding the Balance) on dormant Accounts, and we may close a dormant Account and deal with any remaining Balance as required or permitted by applicable law.

5. DEPOSITS, BALANCES AND WITHDRAWALS

5.1 Supported Assets only. The Platform accepts deposits only of Supported Assets sent on Solana to the unique deposit address shown in your Account. Assets sent on any other network, unsupported tokens, tokens sent to the wrong address, and assets sent with insufficient fees or with incorrect transaction data may be permanently lost. We have no obligation to detect, credit, recover or return such assets. Where recovery is technically possible we may, at our sole discretion, attempt it on request and charge a reasonable recovery fee.

5.2 Crediting deposits. Deposits are credited to your Balance after the number of network confirmations we require, which may vary by asset and by network conditions. Minimum deposit amounts apply and are shown on the Platform. Deposits below the minimum may not be credited. We may refuse, delay, freeze, return or report deposits that originate from wallets that are sanctioned, associated with mixers, hacks, scams, darknet markets or other illicit activity, flagged by our blockchain analytics providers, or otherwise present a risk to us.

5.3 Nature of your Balance. Your Balance is an entry on our internal ledger recording the quantity of each Supported Asset that we hold for you subject to these Terms. Supported Assets deposited to the Platform are held in wallets controlled by the Operator (including hot and cold wallets) and may be pooled with the assets of other users. We aim to maintain reserves of each Supported Asset sufficient to cover all user Balances at all times. Your Balance is not a bank deposit, is not a security or an investment, is not insured by any government scheme, does not earn interest, and is not protected by any deposit guarantee. In the event of the Operator's insolvency you may be an unsecured creditor. Balances have no value except as the right to wager, trade and withdraw on the Platform in accordance with these Terms.

5.4 Withdrawals. Subject to these Terms, you may withdraw all or part of your Balance to an address on Solana that you have saved in your Withdrawal Address Book. Withdrawals are subject to the following:

  • Minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts, daily and weekly limits, and network fees, all as displayed on the Platform, which we may change from time to time.
  • A withdrawal hold period during which you may cancel a pending withdrawal from your Account. Once the hold period ends and the transaction has been broadcast, it cannot be cancelled, reversed or recalled by you or by us.
  • A cooling-off period, 2FA confirmation or email confirmation for withdrawals to newly added addresses, at our discretion.
  • Processing in batches. We aim to process withdrawals promptly but do not guarantee any processing time, and time is not of the essence.
  • Our right to delay, hold or refuse a withdrawal in whole or in part while we carry out security checks, verification under Section 3.4, an investigation under Sections 10 or 11, sanctions or anti-money-laundering screening, wallet screening, or where required by law, court order or regulator, or during a network, wallet, liquidity or technical incident.
  • Our right to require that deposited funds be wagered at least once in Real Mode before withdrawal, and to charge a fee on withdrawals of unwagered deposits, in order to prevent the Platform being used as a transfer, swap or mixing service.

5.5 Accuracy of withdrawal details. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of every address in your Withdrawal Address Book. Transactions on Solana are irreversible. Assets sent to an address you provided cannot be recovered by us, and we have no liability for withdrawals sent to an incorrect, unsupported, inaccessible or compromised address that you supplied.

5.6 Errors and reversals. If assets are credited to your Account in error (including through a bug, a duplicated deposit credit, an incorrect exchange rate, an incorrect payout or a mis-settled Bet), the erroneous amount does not belong to you. You must not wager, trade or withdraw it, and you must notify us immediately. We may reverse the credit and any resulting activity at any time. If you have already withdrawn erroneously credited assets you must return them within seven (7) days of our request, failing which the amount is a debt immediately due from you to the Operator and Section 10.4 applies.

5.7 Token risks; listing and delisting. The Supported Assets are memecoins and other tokens created through a Launchpad or otherwise deployed on Solana. They are speculative, extremely volatile, may have thin or no liquidity, may be subject to concentrated ownership, may be abandoned or "rugged" by their creators, and may become worthless at any time. Stonksino does not create, control, endorse, promote or guarantee any Supported Asset, and listing a token on the Platform is not a recommendation or a statement about its value, safety or legitimacy. We may list, suspend or delist any token at any time without notice. If we delist a token we will use reasonable efforts to notify you and to give you at least [β€’] days to withdraw your Balance of that token, after which we may, at our discretion and where lawful, hold it, convert it at prevailing market rates into another Supported Asset, or return it to your most recent deposit wallet. Wagers and Balances are denominated in tokens, not in fiat currency; a change in a token's value changes the value of your Balance, and we have no liability for that change. Any fiat-equivalent value displayed on the Platform is indicative only, is derived from third-party price data, and does not form part of your Balance.

5.8 Network events. The Stonksino Parties are not responsible for any loss caused by the operation of Solana, any Launchpad, Jupiter, decentralized exchanges or other liquidity pools, bridges, wallet software, RPC or node providers, or any other third-party infrastructure, including delays, congestion, high network or priority fees, failed transactions, reorganizations, forks, halts, upgrades, censorship, smart-contract vulnerabilities, or exploits of those systems. In the event of a fork or similar event we will decide, in our sole discretion, which chain and which tokens the Platform supports.

5.9 Fees. Fees for deposits, withdrawals, trades, conversions, dormancy and other services are displayed on the Platform and may be changed prospectively at any time. Network fees are set by the network, not by us, and are deducted from or charged in addition to the amount withdrawn.

5.10 Scope of the Balance function. The Balance function exists solely to enable you to play Games and use the Platform's features. Stonksino does not offer fiat on-ramps or off-ramps, money transmission, payment, remittance, brokerage, exchange, lending, staking, yield or custody services to the public, and nothing on the Platform should be relied upon as such.

6. GAMES AND BETS

6.1 Game Rules. Each Game is governed by its Game Rules, which are published on the Platform and form part of these Terms. You must read the Game Rules before playing. By placing a Bet you confirm that you understand the rules, house edge, limits and payout structure of that Game.

6.2 Real Mode and Paper Mode. Each Game can be played in Real Mode, in which Bets are placed with your Balance and settled for real value, or in Paper Mode, in which Bets are placed with play credits that have no monetary value. Paper credits cannot be deposited, withdrawn, transferred, traded or exchanged for anything of value, may be reset or removed at any time, and do not earn XP, rakeback, leaderboard placement, bonuses or any other benefit. Paper Mode uses the same outcome generation as Real Mode, but results in Paper Mode are not a prediction or guarantee of results in Real Mode. You are responsible for checking which mode is active before you place a Bet; a Bet placed in Real Mode that you intended to place in Paper Mode is still a Real Mode Bet.

6.3 Placing a Bet. A Bet is placed when you submit it and is accepted when our server records it. Once accepted, a Bet is final and cannot be cancelled, changed or withdrawn, whether or not the outcome has been displayed to you. You are solely responsible for the amount, Game, settings and mode you select, including for any Bet placed by mistake. Hotkeys, turbo mode and auto-bet (including stop-on-profit, stop-on-loss, on-win and on-loss rules) are tools that you configure and activate at your own risk; every round placed by auto-bet is a Bet you have placed, and a misconfigured or unattended auto-bet remains your responsibility.

6.4 Limits. Minimum and maximum Bets, maximum multipliers and maximum payouts per Bet, per Game, per day and per Account are as published in the Game Rules. We may set or change limits for any Game, and we may impose personal limits on any Account, at any time. We may refuse or limit any Bet at our discretion without giving reasons.

6.5 Outcome determination. The outcome of every Bet is determined by our server at the moment the Bet is accepted, using the method described in Section 8 and Schedule B. What is shown on your screen is a representation of that outcome. If there is any discrepancy between what your device displays and the records on our server, our server records prevail and are final, subject to Section 8.2.

6.6 Connectivity, latency and cash-outs. You are responsible for your own device, browser, wallet software and internet connection. If your connection is interrupted after a Bet has been accepted, the Bet stands and is settled according to the server outcome, which you can view in your bet history. In Games that require an in-round action by you (for example cashing out in Crash, revealing a tile in Mines, or hitting or standing in Blackjack), the action takes effect only when it is received and recorded by our server, and any delay caused by your device, network, browser or wallet is your risk. Where a Game has a default action for a timed-out round (for example an automatic stand in Blackjack), that default applies.

6.7 Malfunctions void plays and pays. If a Game, its outcome generation, seed handling, display, settlement or payout calculation malfunctions, if the Game Rules are misapplied, or if a Bet is accepted in circumstances that should have prevented acceptance (for example after a Game was suspended, above a limit, or during an incident), we may declare the affected Bets void, reverse any resulting credits or debits, and return the stakes, regardless of the result displayed. A malfunction voids all plays and pays.

6.8 Suspension of Games. We may suspend, withdraw or modify any Game, or the Platform as a whole, at any time for maintenance, security, legal, technical or commercial reasons. Bets accepted before a suspension will be settled unless Section 6.7 applies.

6.9 House edge and expected loss. Every Game has a house edge that is published in its Game Rules. The house edge means that, over a large number of Bets, the Platform is expected to retain a percentage of the total amount wagered. Individual results vary, but the expected outcome of gambling is a loss. Our Fairness Guarantee is a guarantee that outcomes are generated honestly and can be verified; it is not a guarantee that you will win.

6.10 Bet disputes. If you believe a Bet was settled incorrectly you must notify support@stonksino.xyz within thirty (30) days of the Bet, quoting the bet ID. We will review our server records and, if applicable, the provably fair data for that Bet. Our determination, made in good faith on the basis of our records, is final for the purposes of the Platform, without prejudice to your rights under Section 20.

7. RAKEBACK, XP, LEADERBOARDS, BONUSES AND PROMOTIONS

7.1 Discretionary benefits. Rakeback, XP, levels, leaderboards, bonuses, free bets, promotions, giveaways, referral rewards, airdrops and similar benefits ("Benefits") are offered at our discretion. We may modify, suspend, cap or withdraw any Benefit prospectively at any time, and each Benefit is subject to any specific terms we publish for it.

7.2 Rakeback and XP. Rakeback and XP accrue only on Bets placed in Real Mode that are settled and not voided, at the rates and under the formulas published on the Platform. XP, levels and badges have no monetary value, cannot be transferred or sold, and may be adjusted or reset. Rakeback that has been credited to your Balance may be withdrawn subject to Section 5.4 and any wagering requirement attached to it.

7.3 Leaderboards. Leaderboards rank Accounts by published criteria over a defined period. Your username and gameplay statistics may be displayed publicly. We may exclude or disqualify any Account from a leaderboard, adjust standings, and withhold or reclaim prizes where we reasonably suspect collusion, multi-accounting, wash wagering, use of an Exploit, Ban Evasion, or other conduct inconsistent with the spirit of the competition. Leaderboard prizes are Benefits and, unless the leaderboard terms state otherwise, are paid in Supported Assets at prevailing rates.

7.4 Bonus terms. Bonuses and free bets may be subject to wagering requirements, maximum Bet sizes while a bonus is active, eligible Games and Game contributions, maximum cash-out amounts, expiry dates and other conditions published with the bonus. Wagering requirements must be completed before any bonus funds or winnings derived from them can be withdrawn. We may remove a bonus and any winnings derived from it if its terms are breached.

7.5 Benefit abuse. We consider the following to be abuse of Benefits: using more than one Account; creating Accounts for others; low-risk, hedged or opposite wagering designed to clear wagering requirements or to farm rakeback, XP or leaderboard position with minimal exposure; wash wagering; collusion; switching between Real Mode and Paper Mode to manipulate any metric; exploiting an error in a promotion's mechanics; and any other pattern of play that in our reasonable opinion is aimed at extracting Benefits rather than genuine play. Where we determine that Benefits have been abused we may cancel the Benefits and any winnings derived from them, apply the consequences in Sections 10 and 11, and exclude you from future Benefits.

7.6 Referral and affiliate programs. Referral and affiliate programs are governed by their own terms. Self-referral, referring your own alternate Accounts, and referring persons in Restricted Jurisdictions are prohibited.

7.7 Creators and streamers. Streamers, content creators and community members who promote Stonksino may receive compensation from us. They act as independent parties and not as our agents; their results are not typical; and nothing they say is advice, a promise or a term of these Terms.

8. FAIRNESS GUARANTEE (PROVABLY FAIR GAMING)

8.1 Our guarantee. For every Stonksino Originals Game, the Operator guarantees the following:

  • Commitment before play. Before you place any Bet, we generate a secret server seed and display to you its SHA-256 hash. Because the hash is displayed before you play and a different server seed would produce a different hash, we cannot change the server seed after you have seen its hash.
  • Your input. You may set your own client seed at any time. A nonce that increments by one with each Bet is combined with the seed pair so that every Bet has a unique input.
  • Deterministic outcomes. The outcome of each Bet is derived solely from the current server seed, your client seed and the nonce, using the published algorithm in Schedule B. No Stonksino Party can alter, select, delay or re-roll an outcome once the server seed hash has been displayed and your client seed has been set, and because you can change your client seed at any time, no Stonksino Party can predict the outcomes of your future Bets with certainty.
  • Independence from you. Outcomes are not influenced by who you are, your Balance, the size of your Bet, your win or loss history, your rakeback or XP level, or whether you are playing in Real Mode or Paper Mode.
  • Reveal and verification. When you rotate your seed pair, the previous server seed is revealed to you. You may then verify every Bet placed under that seed pair using the in-browser verifier on the Platform, which recomputes outcomes from the server seed, client seed and nonce, or independently using the algorithm in Schedule B. You may view per-Bet detail for every Bet in your history.
  • Published house edge. The house edge for each Originals Game is published in its Game Rules. It will not be changed without notice, and it will never change for a Bet that has already been accepted.
  • No shills. Stonksino Originals are played against the house only. We do not use bots, house Accounts or Stonksino Parties to play against you, and no participant in any Game has access to outcome information that you do not have.

8.2 Discrepancy claims. If you believe that the outcome of any Bet does not match the outcome produced by the verifier or by Schedule B, you may submit a discrepancy claim to support@stonksino.xyz within thirty (30) days of the Bet, providing the bet ID, the revealed server seed, your client seed and the nonce. We will investigate and respond within fourteen (14) days. If a discrepancy is confirmed we will void the affected Bets and restore the stakes, or correct the payouts to the amounts that should have been paid, whichever applies, and where the discrepancy affected other users we will publish a notice on the Platform. Correction of affected Bets in this way is your sole and exclusive remedy for a fairness discrepancy, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

8.3 Scope of the guarantee. The Fairness Guarantee applies to Stonksino Originals. Third-party Games, if offered, use random number generation controlled and certified by their providers and are covered by the provider's fairness assurances, not by this Section. The Fairness Guarantee does not cover, and we are not responsible for, your device, browser, browser extensions, wallet software, network connection or latency (including the timing of a Crash cash-out), third-party verification tools, client seeds generated by a compromised device, or any manipulation of the client side of the Platform.

8.4 Independent audit. The algorithm in Schedule B is published so that anyone may audit it. We may also engage independent third parties to test our outcome generation and may publish their reports.

8.5 Relationship to other Sections. The Fairness Guarantee is the only warranty we give about outcome generation. Section 6.9 (house edge), Section 17 (disclaimers) and Section 18 (limitation of liability) continue to apply.

9. PROHIBITED CONDUCT

9.1 You must not, and must not attempt to, assist or encourage any other person to:

  • Exploit. Use, test, trigger, replicate or benefit from any Exploit (Section 10), or probe, scan, fuzz or test the Platform for vulnerabilities on Real Mode or without our written authorization.
  • Automate. Use any bot, script, macro, headless browser, extension, emulator, automation tool, artificial intelligence agent or software other than the tools we provide within the Platform (such as the built-in auto-bet, hotkeys and turbo mode) to access the Platform, place Bets, claim Benefits, farm rakeback or XP, or interact with any Game.
  • Multi-account. Open, control or use more than one Account, or use any Account belonging to another person, in breach of Section 4.
  • Evade a ban. Engage in Ban Evasion (Section 11.5) or help another person to do so.
  • Collude. Collude, chip-dump, transfer value between Accounts through Games, or coordinate wagering with other users in a way that distorts any Game, Benefit or leaderboard.
  • Abuse Benefits. Engage in any conduct described in Section 7.5.
  • Circumvent location controls. Access the Platform from a Restricted Jurisdiction, or use a VPN, proxy, Tor, mirror, remote device or any other method to disguise or misrepresent your location, identity or device.
  • Launder or misuse funds. Use the Platform to launder money, to move, layer or obscure the proceeds of crime, to finance terrorism, to evade sanctions, or as a mixing, swapping, tumbling or transfer service; deposit assets that are stolen, hacked, drained, scammed or otherwise not lawfully yours; or use a wallet that is sanctioned or associated with illicit activity.
  • Manipulate markets. Engage in wash trading, spoofing, pump-and-dump schemes, front-running, oracle manipulation, liquidity manipulation, or any other manipulation of the price, liquidity or data of any token through or in connection with the Platform.

Interfere with the Platform's operation, servers, networks, smart contracts, APIs or data; carry out denial-of-service attacks, injection attacks, replay attacks, credential stuffing or session hijacking; introduce malware; bypass rate limits, authentication, 2FA or access controls; or scrape, harvest or extract data other than through interfaces we provide for that purpose.
  • Reverse engineer. Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, translate or create derivative works of any part of the Platform, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits this despite this restriction, and except for the published Schedule B algorithm.

  • Interfere with enforcement. Obstruct, mislead or delay any investigation, verification or enforcement action by us, or publicly disclose a vulnerability before we have had a reasonable opportunity to fix it.

9.2 Consequences. A breach of this Section 9 is a material breach of these Terms and may result in any of the measures described in Sections 10 and 11, in addition to any other rights and remedies we may have.

10. EXPLOITS, BUGS AND VULNERABILITIES

10.1 What is an Exploit. An "Exploit" is any use, attempted use, or knowing benefit from any bug, glitch, error, vulnerability, defect, misconfiguration, unintended behavior, race condition, timing or latency weakness, replay opportunity, pricing, oracle, exchange-rate or liquidity error, seed or nonce handling weakness, promotion or Benefit mechanic error, ledger error (including a double credit, a failed debit or a mis-settled Bet), or any other flaw in the Platform, any Game, any smart contract, wallet integration, API, bot, verifier, or in any third-party system on which the Platform relies, in order to obtain an advantage, information, credit, payout, Benefit or other value that you were not clearly entitled to under the Game Rules and these Terms. It does not matter whether you discovered or caused the flaw, whether it was obvious, whether you used software to trigger it, or whether the value was later lost. Knowingly receiving, holding, wagering or withdrawing value that another person obtained through an Exploit is also an Exploit.

10.2 Your obligations if you discover a flaw. If you encounter anything that appears to be a flaw of the kind described in Section 10.1, you must: stop immediately; not repeat, test or expand the behavior; not wager, trade or withdraw any value obtained from it; not disclose it to anyone other than us until we confirm it has been fixed; and report it to security@stonksino.xyz within twenty-four (24) hours with enough detail for us to reproduce it. Encountering a flaw once by accident and reporting it promptly is not an Exploit. Continuing after the first encounter, or failing to report, is.

10.3 Responsible disclosure. We welcome good-faith security research. If you follow Section 10.2, test only on Paper Mode or on environments we designate, do not access or alter any other person's data or Balance, do not degrade the Platform, and do not demand payment as a condition of disclosure, we will not pursue action against you under these Terms for the research itself, and we may, at our sole discretion, pay a reward. Rewards are not guaranteed, and this Section does not authorize any conduct that is unlawful.

10.4 Consequences and repayment. If we determine, acting reasonably on the basis of our server logs, on-chain data, device and network data and any other evidence available to us, that you have engaged in an Exploit, we may do any or all of the following, in any combination and without notice: void the affected Bets and any Bets placed with proceeds of the Exploit; reverse any credits, payouts, trades or Benefits; forfeit all winnings, Balance, Benefits, rakeback, XP and leaderboard positions derived directly or indirectly from the Exploit; freeze, suspend or permanently terminate your Account and any Account linked to you; apply your remaining Balance to the value obtained through the Exploit and to our costs; blocklist your wallets, devices and network identifiers; refuse any future deposits from your wallets and freeze and return any that are received; report the matter to law enforcement, regulators, exchanges, wallet providers and blockchain analytics providers; and bring civil proceedings against you. You agree that any value obtained through an Exploit is held for the Operator and is a debt immediately due and payable by you to the Operator. If you have withdrawn any such value you must return it to the address we specify within seven (7) days of our request. You are liable for and must reimburse our reasonable costs of investigating the Exploit and recovering the value, including staff time, third-party forensic and blockchain analytics fees, legal fees and enforcement costs. We may set off any amount you owe under this Section against any Balance in any Account we reasonably believe you control. You consent to us tracing the value on-chain and off-chain and to us sharing your Account, wallet, device and transaction information with third parties for the purpose of recovery.

10.5 Linked Accounts. We may apply any measure in Section 10.4 to any Account that we reasonably believe is controlled by you, funded by you, funding you, acting in concert with you, or that has received value derived from the Exploit.

10.6 Our records. Our server records, ledger, provably fair data and on-chain records are conclusive evidence of the facts they record, absent manifest error. We are not required to disclose the methods, signals or evidence we use to detect Exploits.

11. ENFORCEMENT, SUSPENSION, TERMINATION AND BAN EVASION

11.1 Enforcement measures. If we reasonably believe that you have breached these Terms, that your Account presents a legal, regulatory, security, fraud, money-laundering or reputational risk, or that any of the circumstances in Sections 3, 9 or 10 apply, we may take any of the following measures, in any order and without notice: issue a warning; mute or restrict chat and community features; restrict access to particular Games, Benefits, trading features or limits; cancel Benefits; freeze all or part of your Balance; suspend your Account temporarily; permanently terminate your Account; blocklist your wallets, devices and network identifiers; and take any measure in Section 10.4. Schedule C summarizes the consequences we ordinarily apply to particular kinds of conduct. Schedule C is a guide only and does not limit our discretion.

11.2 Investigations. While we investigate, we may freeze your Account and Balance for up to ninety (90) days, extended for as long as any request from law enforcement, a regulator, a court or a counterparty remains open, and we may require you to provide information and documents and to verify under Section 3.4. You must cooperate promptly and truthfully. Failure to cooperate may itself be treated as a breach. We are not required to disclose to you the methods or signals that led to an investigation.

11.3 Effect of suspension or termination for breach. On suspension or termination for breach you lose the right to access the Platform and to any Benefits, rakeback, XP, leaderboard positions and pending promotions. Subject to Sections 3.2, 3.4, 7.5, 10.4, 11.6 and 12.5, and to any legal hold, sanctions or anti-money-laundering obligation, we will permit you to withdraw any part of your Balance that is not subject to forfeiture, reversal, set-off or dispute. Where you have committed a material breach we may, to the extent permitted by law, retain from your Balance an amount equal to our reasonable losses and costs arising from the breach.

11.4 Termination for other reasons. We may close your Account for any other reason on fourteen (14) days' notice, during which you may withdraw your Balance, or immediately where required by law, a regulator, a court, our licensing position, or a risk assessment. We may cease operating the Platform in any jurisdiction or entirely, on reasonable notice where practicable.

11.5 Ban Evasion. "Ban Evasion" means any of the following, while an Account you hold or have held is terminated, suspended, frozen or self-excluded, or while you are blocked from the Platform by reason of location, age or any other eligibility rule: accessing or attempting to access the Platform, or placing, depositing, trading or withdrawing, through any other Account, wallet, username, email address, device, IP address, VPN, proxy, network, identity or persona; opening or attempting to open a new Account; using an Account that belongs to another person; arranging for any other person to deposit, wager, trade or withdraw on your behalf or to hold value for you; and assisting any other person to do any of these things, including by lending or sharing your Account, wallet, device or funds with a person you know or ought to know is banned, suspended or excluded.

11.6 Consequences of Ban Evasion. Ban Evasion is a fundamental breach of these Terms. If we determine that Ban Evasion has occurred we may, without notice: immediately terminate every Account involved, including the Account of any person who assisted; extend the original ban permanently and to all linked Accounts, wallets, devices and identifiers; forfeit, to the maximum extent permitted by law, all winnings, Balances and Benefits held in or derived from any evading Account; blocklist every wallet used, refuse future deposits from those wallets and hold any deposits received from them pending review; and recover our investigation and enforcement costs under Section 10.4. Whether to return the verified net deposits of an evading Account to their wallet of origin is in our sole discretion, and we will ordinarily do so only where the funds are clearly legitimate, no other breach is involved and no legal hold applies. The one exception is self-exclusion: if you circumvent a self-exclusion, Section 12.5 applies.

11.7 Detection and records. You acknowledge that we detect multi-accounting and Ban Evasion using device fingerprinting, IP and network analysis, behavioral and gameplay analytics, wallet clustering and on-chain analytics, cross-Account linking and third-party data, as described in the Privacy Policy. We keep records of banned and excluded persons, and of the wallets, devices and identifiers linked to them, for as long as necessary to enforce the ban or exclusion, which may be indefinitely.

11.8 Appeals. You may appeal an enforcement measure once by emailing support@stonksino.xyz with the subject line "Appeal" within fourteen (14) days of the measure, setting out the reasons why you believe the measure was wrong. A person who was not involved in the original decision will review your appeal and respond within thirty (30) days where practicable. We are not required to disclose our detection methods or evidence. The appeal decision is final for the purposes of the Platform, without prejudice to your rights under Section 20.

11.9 No liability for good-faith enforcement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Stonksino Parties are not liable for any loss arising from any enforcement measure, freeze, delay, investigation or verification request that is carried out in good faith, even if it is later determined that no breach occurred.

12. RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING

12.1 Our approach. Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money or to solve financial problems. We provide tools to help you stay in control, and we ask that you use them.

12.2 Tools. From your Account settings you can: set a daily loss limit; activate a cool-off period during which you cannot place Real Mode Bets; set deposit or wager limits where offered; switch any Game to Paper Mode; export your gameplay and transaction data; and request self-exclusion. A reduction of a limit or activation of a cool-off takes effect immediately. An increase or removal of a limit takes effect only after a cooling-off period of at least twenty-four (24) hours [β€’].

12.3 Self-exclusion. You may self-exclude for a fixed period of at least [β€’] months or permanently by using the option in your Account settings or by emailing support@stonksino.xyz from your registered email address. During self-exclusion we will close your active sessions, block Real Mode play, deposits and Benefits, stop sending you marketing, and allow you to withdraw your Balance. A self-exclusion cannot be shortened or cancelled once it has taken effect. At the end of a fixed-period self-exclusion your Account remains closed until you contact us and confirm, after a cooling-off period of at least twenty-four (24) hours, that you wish to return.

12.4 Our right to intervene. We may impose limits, cool-offs or closure on any Account, decline deposits or Bets, or contact you, if we have reason to believe that your gambling may be harming you. We are not obliged to do so, and our doing or not doing so does not create any duty of care beyond that imposed by applicable law.

12.5 Circumventing self-exclusion. If you access the Platform during a self-exclusion, whether through your own Account, a new Account or another person's Account, any winnings are void and we will return your net deposits during the exclusion period to the wallet from which they originated, less any amount we are required to withhold by law. We will also extend the exclusion and apply the measures in Sections 11.1 and 11.6. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Stonksino Parties are not liable for any loss you suffer as a result of circumventing a self-exclusion, cool-off or limit.

12.6 No liability for gambling losses. You acknowledge that losing is an inherent part of gambling, that you have chosen to gamble of your own free will, and that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Stonksino Parties are not liable for any losses you incur through gambling on the Platform.

12.7 Help and support. If you are concerned about your gambling, or someone else's, help is available. Schedule D lists free, confidential support services. You can also contact support@stonksino.xyz to discuss limits and self-exclusion at any time.

13. COIN TRADING, RUG FEED AND MARKET DATA

13.1 Trading features. The Platform may allow you to buy and sell Supported Assets from your Balance, including with take-profit and stop-loss instructions, and to compare tokens. Trades are executed on a best-efforts basis against on-chain liquidity or our internal inventory at prices derived from on-chain data and third-party sources. Prices move quickly and may differ from the price displayed when you submitted an order. Take-profit and stop-loss instructions are triggers, not guarantees: they may execute at a worse price than the trigger price, or fail to execute at all, because of volatility, slippage, illiquidity, network congestion, failed transactions, maximal extractable value (MEV), or interruptions to our data feeds. Trading fees and spreads apply as displayed. We may pause, cancel, reverse or limit trading in any token at any time, including where a trade was executed at an erroneous price.

13.2 Information only. The rug feed, coin comparison tools, charts, market data, alerts, statistics and any commentary on the Platform or in our community channels are provided for information and entertainment only. They may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate or based on third-party data that we do not control. Nothing on the Platform is investment, financial, trading, legal or tax advice, an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any asset, or a recommendation of any token, and no Stonksino Party acts as your broker, adviser, agent or fiduciary. You must make your own decisions and do your own research.

13.3 No manipulation. You must not use the trading features, or any Game, to manipulate the price, volume, liquidity or perceived activity of any token, and Section 9.1 (Manipulate markets) applies.

14. ECOSYSTEM TOKENS

14.1 Community tokens. A memecoin on Solana may be associated with the Stonksino community. Neither that token nor any other token confers any ownership interest, equity, profit share, dividend, revenue share, governance right, redemption right, or claim of any kind against the Operator or any Stonksino Party. Holding any token is not required to use the Platform. Any utility, boost, reward or Benefit that we choose to attach to a token is discretionary, may be changed or withdrawn at any time, and is not a promise. We make no representation or warranty about the value, liquidity, supply, distribution or future of any token, and any token may become worthless. Nothing on the Platform or in our community channels is an offer, solicitation or promotion of any token as an investment.

14.2 Community statements. Statements made by any Stonksino Party or community member on X, Discord, Telegram, streams, chat or elsewhere are not part of these Terms, are not promises or advice, and may not be relied upon. Only these Terms and the rules published on the Platform govern your use of the Platform.

15. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND USER CONTENT

15.1 Our content. The Platform and everything in it, including the Stonksino name, logos, mascot, artwork, designs, games, software, code, algorithms (other than the published Schedule B algorithm, which may be freely used for verification), text, graphics, audio, video, data and the selection and arrangement of them, are owned by or licensed to the Operator and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, license, publicly display, perform, transmit, create derivative works of or otherwise use any part of the Platform.

15.2 Your license to use the Platform. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform for your own entertainment. All other rights are reserved.

15.3 Your content. You retain ownership of the content you post in chat, usernames, profile information and other content you submit ("User Content"). You grant the Operator a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, display and distribute your User Content in connection with operating, promoting and improving the Platform, including displaying usernames and gameplay statistics in leaderboards, activity feeds, promotions and social media. You are responsible for your User Content and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that your User Content does not breach Section 9.1 or any law or third-party right. We may remove any User Content at any time.

15.4 Feedback. If you give us ideas, suggestions or feedback, we may use them without restriction or compensation to you.

15.5 Infringement claims. If you believe content on the Platform infringes your intellectual property rights, email legal@stonksino.xyz with details of the work, the location of the allegedly infringing content, your contact details and a statement of good-faith belief, and we will review the claim.

16. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND BLOCKCHAIN RISKS

16.1 Third-party services. The Platform depends on services that we do not control, including Solana and its validators, Launchpads, Jupiter and other liquidity pools and swap aggregators, wallet software, RPC and node providers, block explorers, price and data feeds, blockchain analytics providers, hosting providers and communication platforms. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that service's terms, and the Stonksino Parties are not responsible for any third-party service, its availability, security, accuracy, fees or conduct.

16.2 Blockchain risks. You understand and accept the risks inherent in blockchain technology and crypto-assets, including: irreversible transactions; loss of private keys; smart-contract bugs and exploits; forks, reorganizations, halts, censorship and network failures; congestion and unpredictable network fees; volatility and illiquidity; the possibility that a token, protocol or network is abandoned; regulatory action against networks, protocols, tokens or crypto-assets generally; and the possibility that the technology on which the Platform relies changes in ways that make the Platform unable to operate. The Stonksino Parties have no control over Solana, any Launchpad or any token, and do not guarantee that any of them will continue to exist or function.

16.3 Regulatory risk. The legal and regulatory treatment of online gaming, crypto-assets and memecoins is uncertain and changes frequently. New laws, regulations, enforcement actions or interpretations may require us to change, restrict, suspend or cease the Platform or particular features, to block particular jurisdictions, to freeze or report Accounts, or to obtain information from you. We may take any of these steps without liability to you.

17. DISCLAIMERS

17.1 As is. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PLATFORM, THE GAMES, THE TRADING FEATURES, ALL CONTENT AND ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", "AS AVAILABLE" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. THE CHIPS PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, EXCEPT FOR THE FAIRNESS GUARANTEE IN SECTION 8 TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY STATED THERE.

17.2 No guarantee of availability or accuracy. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT ANY DATA, PRICE, STATISTIC OR INFORMATION IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR CURRENT, OR THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

17.3 No advice; no legality representation. NOTHING ON THE PLATFORM IS LEGAL, FINANCIAL, INVESTMENT, TAX OR GAMBLING ADVICE. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION THAT THE PLATFORM, GAMBLING, OR THE HOLDING OR USE OF CRYPTO-ASSETS IS LAWFUL IN YOUR JURISDICTION. YOU ACCESS THE PLATFORM ON YOUR OWN INITIATIVE AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL LAWS.

17.4 Assumption of risk. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ SECTIONS 5.3, 5.7, 6.9, 12, 13, 14 AND 16, THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE RISKS DESCRIBED THERE, AND THAT YOU VOLUNTARILY ASSUME THOSE RISKS.

17.5 Statutory rights. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or rights. To the extent that such a law applies to you, the exclusions in this Section apply only to the extent permitted by that law.

18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

18.1 Exclusion of certain losses. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY CHIPS PARTY BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, DATA, TOKENS OR CRYPTO-ASSETS, LOSS ARISING FROM ANY CHANGE IN THE VALUE OF ANY TOKEN, LOSS ARISING FROM GAMBLING, LOSS ARISING FROM ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE OR BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK, OR LOSS ARISING FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR WALLET, ACCOUNT OR DEVICE, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF A CHIPS PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

18.2 Cap. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE CHIPS PARTIES, TAKEN TOGETHER, TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF (A) THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE SUPPORTED ASSETS YOU DEPOSITED TO THE PLATFORM IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, VALUED AT THE TIME OF DEPOSIT, AND (B) [LIABILITY CAP β€” e.g., THE EQUIVALENT OF USD 1,000]. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT INCREASE THIS CAP.

18.3 Fairness claims. Your sole and exclusive remedy for any claim that a Bet outcome was not generated in accordance with Section 8 and Schedule B is the correction of the affected Bets under Section 8.2.

18.4 Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for gross negligence or willful misconduct where such liability cannot be limited.

18.5 Basis of the bargain. You acknowledge that the disclaimers in Section 17 and the limitations in this Section 18 are an essential basis of the bargain between you and the Operator, that the Platform would not be provided to you without them, and that they apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

18.6 Protection of the Stonksino team. Each Stonksino Party is an intended third-party beneficiary of Sections 3, 4.3, 5.8, 8.2, 10, 11.9, 12.5, 12.6, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 and may enforce them directly. You agree that you will bring any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform only against the Operator, and not against any individual founder, owner, director, officer, employee, contractor, developer, moderator, streamer, creator or other individual Stonksino Party, and you waive and release, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any such claim against any individual Stonksino Party.

19. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Stonksino Party from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and the costs of investigation and recovery) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Platform; (b) your breach of these Terms or of any law; (c) any Exploit, Ban Evasion, multi-accounting, automation, collusion, Benefit abuse or other prohibited conduct by you or through your Account or wallet; (d) your access to the Platform from a Restricted Jurisdiction or in breach of any eligibility requirement; (e) your User Content; (f) your violation of any right of any third party; (g) any tax liability relating to your activity on the Platform; (h) any dispute between you and any other user or third party; and (i) any inaccurate or misleading information you provide to us. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

20. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM IN COURT AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

20.1 Informal resolution first. Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to try to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform (a "Dispute") informally by emailing legal@stonksino.xyz with a description of the Dispute, the relief you seek, your Account username and your wallet address. We will do the same by contacting you at your registered email address. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the notice, either party may proceed under Section 20.2.

20.2 Binding arbitration. Any Dispute that is not resolved informally will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered under the [ARBITRATION RULES] in force at the time the arbitration is started, by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with those rules. The seat of the arbitration will be [ARBITRATION SEAT]. The language of the arbitration will be English. Hearings may be held by video conference. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this Section 20, and will apply the governing law in Section 21 and the limitations in Section 18. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party will bear its own costs unless the arbitrator decides otherwise in accordance with the rules.

20.3 Individual claims only; class action waiver. YOU AND THE OPERATOR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this Section 20.3 is found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim, then Sections 20.2 and 20.3 will not apply to that claim, which will instead be heard by the courts identified in Section 21, and the parties agree that any such claim will be stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration of all other claims.

20.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding Sections 20.2 and 20.3: (a) either party may bring an individual claim in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction if the claim qualifies; and (b) the Operator may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property, to stop or remedy an Exploit, Ban Evasion, attack or other prohibited conduct, or to recover assets.

20.5 Opt-out. You may opt out of Sections 20.2 and 20.3 by emailing legal@stonksino.xyz with the subject line "Arbitration opt-out" from your registered email address, stating your username and wallet address, within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. If you opt out, Disputes will be resolved exclusively by the courts identified in Section 21, and Section 20.6 continues to apply.

20.6 Jury waiver. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND THE OPERATOR EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM.

20.7 Time limit for claims. To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform must be started within one (1) year after the claim arose; otherwise it is permanently barred.

20.8 Confidentiality. The existence, content and outcome of any arbitration are confidential, except as needed to enforce an award or as required by law.

21. GOVERNING LAW AND COURTS

These Terms, and any Dispute, are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Subject to Section 20, the courts of [GOVERNING LAW JURISDICTION] have exclusive jurisdiction over any Dispute, and each party submits to that jurisdiction and waives any objection to venue or forum. Nothing in this Section prevents the Operator from seeking relief under Section 20.4(b) in any jurisdiction.

22. RELEASE

If you have a dispute with another user, a token creator, a streamer or creator, a wallet provider or any other third party in connection with the Platform, you release each Stonksino Party from all claims, demands and damages of every kind, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with that dispute. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."

23. GENERAL PROVISIONS

23.1 Entire agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Operator concerning the Platform and supersede all prior agreements, communications and understandings.

23.2 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.

23.3 No waiver. Our failure or delay in enforcing any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the Operator.

23.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them. The Operator may assign or transfer these Terms, and any rights and obligations under them, without your consent, including to any affiliate, successor, purchaser of the Platform, or any entity formed to operate the Platform, and these Terms will bind and benefit the parties' successors and permitted assigns.

23.5 Force majeure. The Stonksino Parties are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond their reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, government action, sanctions, labor disputes, failures of the internet, blockchain networks, power or telecommunications, cyber-attacks, or failures of third-party providers.

23.6 Notices. We may give you notice by posting on the Platform, by in-Platform message, or by email to your registered address. Notices to us must be sent to legal@stonksino.xyz or to the Operator's registered address, and are effective on receipt.

23.7 Electronic communications and records. You consent to receive communications from us electronically and agree that electronic communications, click-through acceptances and wallet signatures satisfy any legal requirement that a communication or agreement be in writing or signed. Our electronic records are admissible evidence of the matters they record.

SCHEDULE B β€” PROVABLY FAIR SPECIFICATION

This Schedule describes how outcomes are generated for Stonksino Originals. It is published so that any player can independently verify any Bet.

B.1 Inputs.

  • Server seed. A cryptographically random 256-bit value generated by our server. Before it is used, its SHA-256 hash (hex-encoded) is displayed to you as the "server seed hash". The server seed itself remains secret until you rotate your seed pair, at which point it is revealed.
  • Client seed. A string chosen by you, or generated for you by your browser, which you may change at any time from the fairness settings. Changing the client seed does not change the server seed.
  • Nonce. An integer that starts at 0 for each new seed pair and increases by exactly 1 for each Bet placed under that pair. Each Bet in an auto-bet session consumes one nonce.

B.2 Deriving random bytes. For each Bet, the Platform computes HMAC-SHA256 with the server seed as the key and the message client_seed:nonce [confirm the exact message format used by the Platform, including any round/cursor counter used for Games that need more than 32 bytes]. Where a Game requires more random bytes than one HMAC output provides (for example Plinko drops, Keno draws, multi-tile Mines or card shuffles), the message is extended with an incrementing cursor (client_seed:nonce:cursor) and successive HMAC outputs are concatenated.

B.3 Converting bytes to numbers. The output bytes are consumed in groups of four. Each group of four bytes b0 b1 b2 b3 is converted to a floating-point number in the range [0, 1) as b0/256 + b1/256^2 + b2/256^3 + b3/256^4. Each such number is then mapped to a Game outcome as described below. [Confirm mapping formulas against the Platform's implementation and the verifier.]

B.4 Game mappings.

  • Dice. Roll = floor(number Γ— 10001) / 100, giving a result between 0.00 and 100.00.
  • Limbo and Crash. Result multiplier = max(1, floor((1 βˆ’ house_edge) Γ— 2^32 / (floor(number Γ— 2^32) + 1) Γ— 100) / 100), capped at the maximum multiplier published in the Game Rules. [Crash may instead use a per-round public seed combined with the hash chain published on the Platform; confirm.]
  • Coin Flip and Hi-Lo. Outcome index = floor(number Γ— N) where N is the number of possible outcomes (2 for Coin Flip; 52 for a card draw in Hi-Lo, mapped to rank and suit).
  • Roulette. Pocket = floor(number Γ— 37) for European Roulette (0–36).
  • Plinko. Each row of pins consumes one number; the ball moves right if floor(number Γ— 2) = 1 and left otherwise; the final bucket is the count of rightward moves.
  • Mines. Mine positions are selected by drawing numbers without replacement from the remaining tile indices, using one number per mine.
  • Keno. Drawn numbers are selected by drawing without replacement from the pool of 40 numbers, using one number per draw.
  • Blackjack. The deck is shuffled by a Fisher–Yates shuffle driven by successive numbers; cards are dealt from the top of the shuffled deck.
  • Bonus Wheel. Segment = floor(number Γ— S), where S is the number of segments, with each segment's payout published in the Game Rules.

B.5 Verification. For any Bet placed under a revealed seed pair you can: (1) confirm that SHA-256(server seed) equals the server seed hash that was displayed before you played; (2) recompute the HMAC and outcome using the inputs above; and (3) compare the recomputed outcome with the outcome recorded in your bet history. The Platform's built-in verifier performs these steps in your browser and does not send your seeds to our servers. Independent implementations are encouraged.

B.6 Seed rotation. You may rotate your seed pair at any time. Rotation reveals the current server seed, displays the hash of the next server seed, and resets the nonce to 0. Bets already placed remain verifiable under the seed pair in force when they were placed.
