Rules, buy-ins, risks, payouts, and platform use.

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of Scalpoors, including the website, battle interfaces, wallet connection flows, battle rooms, buy-in mechanics, payout logic, spectator views, APIs, content, and any related products or services where these Terms are posted. In these Terms, 'we', 'us', and 'our' refer to the operator of the Service, and 'you' refers to the individual or entity using the Service.

By accessing or using the Service, connecting a wallet, creating a profile, entering a queue, submitting a buy-in, joining a battle, claiming a payout, or otherwise interacting with the Service, you agree to these Terms and to any supplemental rules, policies, notices, or disclosures that are expressly incorporated into them.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.

You may use the Service only if you are at least 18 years old, have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement, and are not prohibited from using the Service under any law, regulation, sanctions regime, or contractual restriction applicable to you.

The Service is intended for users who are lawfully permitted to participate in skill-based paid experiences in the jurisdiction from which they access the Service. Access may be blocked, limited, or revoked in certain jurisdictions or under certain risk rules at our discretion.

You are solely responsible for determining whether your access to and use of the Service is lawful where you are located.

The Service is a competitive platform for skill-based financial battle gameplay. Users may select supported rooms, commit buy-ins where applicable, and compete based on the rules of a timed battle experience that uses defined market data, leverage settings, and battle logic.

The Service is intended to host skill-based contests and is not offered as a lottery, sweepstakes, or game of chance. That characterization does not replace your responsibility to assess local law before participating.

The Service does not guarantee that any battle, payout, liquidity level, room, asset, market, or feature will be available at any given time.

The Service is provided for gameplay and platform functionality only. Nothing in the Service constitutes investment advice, trading advice, financial planning, brokerage services, commodity advice, securities advice, legal advice, tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or enter any financial position.

Charts, market data, scores, battle prompts, user commentary, spectator views, and any model or indicator shown in the Service are informational and gameplay-related only. You remain solely responsible for your financial decisions and for any activity outside the Service.

The Service may require you to authenticate through a compatible wallet, sign messages, or authorize onchain transactions. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet, device, private keys, seed phrases, recovery phrases, passwords, and all approvals or permissions granted through any wallet or account you control.

Unless the Service expressly states otherwise for a specific feature, you remain responsible for self-custody of your assets and for reviewing the details of any transaction before you approve it.

We are not responsible for losses arising from compromised wallets, phishing, malicious browser extensions, user error, incorrect addresses, unsupported networks, third-party wallet failures, revoked access to a wallet, or unauthorized transactions caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Certain battles may require a buy-in or other committed value before participation. By entering such a battle, you authorize the Service and its technical systems to lock, route, or otherwise commit the stated amount according to the battle rules, settlement flow, and any applicable smart-contract logic.

Buy-ins, rake, fees, prize pools, and payout formulas may vary by room, mode, or feature and may be displayed before you confirm participation. By proceeding, you accept the amount committed, the way the prize is calculated, and the possibility that refunds may be limited to the circumstances expressly described in the Service or required by law.

We may void, cancel, reverse, or refuse a buy-in, payout, or claim when reasonably necessary to address fraud, duplicate entries, stale feeds, obvious pricing or settlement errors, technical failure, sanctions risk, regulatory restrictions, misuse of the Service, or violations of these Terms.

• A buy-in may become non-reversible once committed to an active battle flow or confirmed onchain.
• Refund timing may depend on network conditions, queue state, void events, dispute handling, or technical reconciliation.
• Gas fees, transaction fees, spread, slippage, or third-party service fees may apply and may not be refundable.
• Displayed payout estimates are not guaranteed until a battle is validly settled under the rules of the Service.

Every battle is governed by the room configuration, gameplay logic, live service rules, and technical safeguards in effect at the relevant time. This may include rules concerning countdowns, readiness, lock periods, position opening and closing, leverage, score calculation, liquidation, spectator visibility, stale-feed protection, battle voiding, and dispute or settlement flows.

You agree that battle outcomes may depend on official game logic, validated market inputs, and system records, including replay data, server timestamps, battle snapshots, and settlement artifacts. We may rely on those records to determine outcomes, enforce rules, process refunds, or investigate disputes.

Except where prohibited by law or where we determine in good faith that a material technical fault requires intervention, battle outcomes and settlement decisions generated under the Service rules are final.

Using the Service involves significant risk. Digital assets, stablecoins, wallet software, public blockchains, smart contracts, market data feeds, and related systems can fail or behave unpredictably. Prices can move rapidly, data feeds can degrade, chains can congest, and transactions may be delayed, reordered, or become more expensive than expected.

Buy-ins and payouts can be affected by volatility, smart-contract bugs, oracle issues, custody or wallet failures, counterparty abuse, fraud, user mistakes, sanctions constraints, regulatory intervention, internet outages, and cybersecurity events. Public blockchains may expose transaction history, wallet relationships, and settlement data to public inspection.

By using the Service, you acknowledge that you understand these risks and accept full responsibility for evaluating whether participation is appropriate for you.

You may not use the Service to break the law, abuse the product, manipulate markets or gameplay, or interfere with the rights or safety of others. We may investigate and act on prohibited conduct at any time.

• Using the Service from a prohibited jurisdiction or while subject to sanctions, embargoes, or other legal restrictions.
• Cheating, exploiting bugs, attempting to manipulate feeds or battle logic, abusing latency, creating duplicate accounts, account farming, collusion, or deceptive spectator behavior.
• Using bots, scripts, scraping tools, automated transaction relays, or reverse-engineering methods to gain an unfair advantage or overload the Service.
• Attempting to bypass security controls, rate limits, geoblocks, sanctions screens, eligibility checks, or wallet-authentication flows.
• Uploading malicious code, interfering with infrastructure, or attempting to access another user's account, wallet data, or battle activity without authorization.
• Using the Service for money laundering, fraud, theft, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, or any unlawful or abusive purpose.

The Service, including its interfaces, trademarks, logos, text, visuals, battle design, databases, software, and other content, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other laws.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service solely for its intended purpose. This license does not include the right to reproduce, modify, redistribute, resell, sublicense, exploit, or create derivative works from the Service except as expressly permitted in writing.

We may add, modify, suspend, restrict, or remove any feature, room, asset, battle mode, integration, or part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, including where needed for maintenance, security, compliance, fraud prevention, market integrity, or business reasons.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service, freeze participation, refuse payouts, or require additional verification where we believe it is necessary to protect users, enforce these Terms, comply with law, or respond to risk signals.

We are not liable for outages, maintenance windows, stale or unavailable feeds, third-party dependency failures, or the removal of features, even if they affect planned or ongoing use.

You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes, duties, reporting obligations, or governmental charges arising from your use of the Service, including those related to buy-ins, prizes, gains, losses, blockchain transactions, or digital-asset activity.

We may request additional information, restrict access, delay payouts, or report activity where we believe it is required for tax, compliance, anti-fraud, anti-money-laundering, sanctions, or other legal obligations.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, uptime, profitability, uninterrupted availability, or error-free operation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, special, punitive, or similar damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, digital assets, opportunity, or expected winnings, arising out of or related to the Service.

To the extent liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability relating to the Service will be limited to the lesser of the total fees actually retained by us from your use of the specific transaction or battle giving rise to the claim, or the minimum amount permitted by applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, service providers, licensors, and personnel from and against claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your breach of these Terms, your violation of law, your misuse of a wallet or third-party service, or your infringement of any rights of another person or entity.

Before pursuing a formal claim, you agree to use the support, notice, or dispute channels made available in the Service so that the issue can be reviewed in good faith using the relevant platform records.

Any dispute arising from or relating to the Service will be resolved under the dispute-resolution framework, venue requirements, and mandatory law applicable to the operator and the specific use of the Service at the relevant time. Where a separate notice, tournament rule, or legally required regional term applies, that specific framework will control to the extent of any conflict.

Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable law.

We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect feature changes, legal requirements, risk controls, operational updates, or business decisions. Updated Terms become effective on the date indicated in the updated version or as otherwise stated in the Service.

Your continued use of the Service after updated Terms become effective means you accept the updated Terms, except to the extent applicable law requires additional notice or affirmative consent.

Questions, legal notices, or requests relating to these Terms should be submitted through the authenticated support, contact, or legal-notice channels made available in the Service at the relevant time.

We may require wallet-based verification or additional authentication before processing certain requests connected to battles, buy-ins, payouts, or account actions.
