Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using CryptoBattle (the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and CryptoBattle.

Your continued use of the Platform following any modifications to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those modifications. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time without prior notice.

2. User Eligibility

To use CryptoBattle, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction
• Have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements
• Not be located in, or a citizen or resident of, any jurisdiction where use of the Platform is prohibited
• Not be subject to economic sanctions or designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties

Restricted Jurisdictions: The Platform is not available to users in jurisdictions where cryptocurrency activities are prohibited by law or where the Platform has determined access should be restricted.

3. Platform Description

CryptoBattle is a decentralized voting platform that implements a commit-reveal mechanism for fair and transparent voting on meme battles. Users can:

• Create voting rounds with customizable parameters
• Commit cryptographic votes during the commit phase
• Reveal votes during the reveal phase
• Claim rewards after round finalization

The Platform operates on blockchain technology with smart contracts that execute autonomously. CryptoBattle does not custody user funds; all assets remain in users' self-custodied wallets at all times.

4. No Financial Advice

IMPORTANT: Nothing on CryptoBattle constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. The Platform is provided for entertainment and informational purposes only. You should:

• Conduct your own research before participating in any rounds
• Consult qualified professionals for financial, legal, or tax advice
• Never stake more than you can afford to lose
• Understand that all participation is at your own risk

CryptoBattle is not a financial advisor, broker, or investment manager. We do not recommend any particular voting strategy or outcome.

5. Risk Acknowledgments

By using the Platform, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:

Blockchain Risks

• All blockchain transactions are irreversible and permanent
• Network congestion may cause delays or failed transactions
• Loss of private keys results in permanent loss of funds with no recovery mechanism
• Blockchain networks may experience forks, attacks, or temporary unavailability

Cryptocurrency Risks

• Digital assets experience extreme price volatility
• Regulatory changes could affect the legality or value of digital assets
• Liquidity may not always be available at expected prices

Platform-Specific Risks

• Voting outcomes depend on other participants' actions
• Minority voting is inherently riskier and may result in total loss of stake
• Platform fees and parameters may change at any time
• Service may be suspended or unavailable without notice

6. Commitment-Reveal Mechanism

CryptoBattle uses a cryptographic commit-reveal scheme to ensure fair voting. You must understand:

Your commitment is calculated as: keccak256(contractAddress, roundId, voterAddress, side, salt)

Unrevealed Stakes: Stakes from commitments that are not revealed during the reveal phase are forfeited and transferred to the platform treasury. This is permanent and non-reversible.

7. Smart Contract Risks

CryptoBattle operates through immutable smart contracts deployed on the blockchain. You acknowledge that:

• Smart contract code is deterministic and controls all funds according to its programmed logic
• The CryptoBattle team cannot reverse, modify, or halt transactions once submitted to the blockchain
• Smart contracts may contain bugs or vulnerabilities that could result in loss of funds
• No guarantee is made that the smart contracts are free from defects or exploits
• Users can independently verify contract code on the blockchain

By interacting with our smart contracts, you accept all risks associated with blockchain technology and decentralized applications.
