These Terms are applicable to (i) all content, informational functionality, and information features (the "Content Features") available on the Pollo platform and any other site to which the Terms are posted (each, as applicable, an "Interface") and (ii) software, including but not limited to the blockchain-based, smart contract protocol and Web3 SocialFi platform (the "Platform") known as Pollo, that may be available to users by connecting their self-hosted wallets via an Interface, including but not limited to the main platform (the "Technology Features" and together with the Content Features, the "Features").

The Platform and Features
Description of the Platform and Features
The Platform contains different functionality – one part provides information about polls, opinions, and social prediction games (the "Information Site"), while another part contains features that allow users to participate in gamified polling, earn tokens, and engage in social competition through various Play2Earn modes.
The Platform operates as a Web3 SocialFi platform where gamified polling meets blockchain technology. Users can share authentic opinions, enter social competitions, and earn tokens through various activities including:
- Opinions Mode: Fast-paced interactive polling where users answer YES/NO or multiple choice questions and predict community agreement percentages
- Majority Polls: Token-based voting where users stake VOTE tokens and other available tokens to predict majority opinions
- Tournaments: Competitive format combining opinion questions with prediction strategy, featuring entry fees and prize distributions
- Social Features: Friend invitations, loyalty programs, and community engagement
The pricing information provided on the Platform relating to polls, tournaments, and token rewards does not represent an offer, a solicitation of an offer, or any advice regarding, or recommendation to enter into, a transaction with the Company.
Even when the Platform appears to be dynamic (e.g., updating or providing new displays when you – on your own accord – provide certain information), at no time is the Company taking action directed by you or on your behalf. In addition, if you connect your wallet or create an account on the Platform such that your self-hosted cryptocurrency wallet ("Wallet") is able to provide information to be transmitted to a blockchain network or other blockchain-based application, you should note that the Company (i) is not involved in providing or transmitting any such information to networks, (ii) cannot transmit any information to networks or otherwise assist in any transaction, (iii) never has access to and cannot control or provide guarantees relating to your Wallet and (iv) has no authority over and does not take possession or custody of your cryptoassets at any time, except as otherwise discussed herein. This also means that the Company is unable to assist with transactions: please be vigilant in interacting with any immutable blockchain technology.
You alone carry the responsibility of understanding your Wallet and its protective measures, which include credentials such as private keys and passwords. We will not and cannot access your private key, password, or any cryptoassets held within your Wallet nor can it reverse any transactions you initiate with your Wallet (or otherwise). We cannot be responsible or liable in any way for how you use your Wallet.
You should also familiarize yourself with the risks associated with transacting on blockchain networks, including but not limited to smart contract vulnerabilities, front end vulnerabilities, hacks, phishing attacks, social engineering attacks, cryptoasset volatility and transaction irreversibility.
The Company does not own or control the underlying blockchain networks on which the Platform operates. The Company is not responsible for the operation of the underlying blockchain networks, and the Company makes no guarantee of the network's functionality, security, or availability. The Company has no ability in any way to control, maintain, provide, operate, or improve the blockchain network underlying the Platform nor the activity or data thereon. The Company is not responsible for the activities of persons or entities who develop or use applications or who validate or verify transactions or other operations related to blockchain networks operated by third parties. The Company cannot control how blockchain networks operated by third parties market their blockchain networks and users should not assume any blockchain networks operated by third parties are affiliated with the Company. All transactions broadcast to the applicable blockchain network via your Wallet may require the payment of non-refundable network transaction fees, which shall be borne entirely by you.
We do not effectuate, facilitate or control any transactions initiated via the Platform, and the Company will not be responsible for the result of any transactions, including but not limited to failed, inadvertent, or fraudulent transactions that may result in loss of funds or transaction fees or any other loss or harm to you.
VOTE Token and Token Economics
The Platform utilizes VOTE tokens as the main game token that determines poll outcomes and fuels all in-game mechanics. VOTE tokens can be earned through:
- Winning in polls
- Inviting friends
- Completing daily tasks
- Increasing your Loyalty level
- Participating in Play2Earn modes: Opinions, Majority Polls, and Tournaments
The Company does not guarantee the value, utility, or availability of VOTE tokens or any other tokens used on the Platform. Token values may fluctuate significantly, and you may lose all value invested in tokens. The Company is not responsible for any losses related to token value fluctuations or token-related activities.
Account Creation and Management
Users can create accounts via Telegram, Google, or Basement.fun. Each account has an internal wallet. IMPORTANT: Losing access to the login method of your account will lead to loss of funds. The Company is not responsible for account recovery or fund recovery in case of lost access credentials.
Algorand Login Method: Pollo supports Algorand login methods. For user accounts not connected to Algorand wallets, a new account will be created. If a user created an account with a different login method and later connects an Algorand wallet, they can login with the Algorand wallet into their connected account.
Treasury Deposits: Pollo supports deposits into treasury to play in the games. Users must follow instructions in the app for particular blockchain flow. All user participation is recorded in a custom distributed database based on cloud replicated MongoDB. The Company is not responsible for any issues related to treasury deposits, blockchain transactions, or database operations.

Mandatory Arbitration
Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Terms, Interfaces or Features, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of the Terms, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be determined by arbitration in Panama before one arbitrator. This clause will not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. You and we agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
Class Action / Representative Claim Waiver
Any arbitration under the Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any proceeding to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy will be brought and conducted only in your individual capacity and not as a party (plaintiff or otherwise) or member of any class (or purported class), consolidated proceeding, multi-plaintiff proceeding or representative action or proceeding. Any arbitration will not be permitted to be consolidated or aggregated with any other arbitration and the arbitrator will not have any authority to do so and will not have the authority to make an award to any person or entity not a part of the individual arbitration in which you are a party. You further agree that any arbitrator may not preside over any form of class action involving you and us.
General Terms

The Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings, agreements, or communications between you and us, if any, whether written or verbal, regarding the subject matter of the Terms.
No Relationships or Assignments
Nothing in the Terms shall be construed to create any relationship between you and us other than as defined herein. Neither you nor we are an agent of each other under these Terms or otherwise, and you shall have no right to hold yourself out as in any way having a relationship with us other than as someone using, accessing or otherwise interfacing with the Interface and/or Features.
You agree that you are not permitted to assign or otherwise transfer any of your rights and obligations under the Terms, but the Company may assign or transfer the Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction. Any assignment or transfer in violation of this Section will be void. Subject to the foregoing, the Terms will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
Waiver
The failure by us to enforce any provision of the Terms will not constitute a present or future waiver of such provision nor limit our right to enforce such provision at a later time. All waivers by us must be in writing to be effective.
Severability
If any portion of the Terms are held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect. Any invalid or unenforceable portions will be interpreted to effectuate the intent of the original portion. If such construction is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be severed from the Terms but the rest of the Terms will remain in full force and effect.
Remedies
Any right or remedy of the Company set forth in these Terms is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy whether described in these Terms, under Applicable Law, at law, or in equity. The failure or delay of the Company in exercising or enforcing any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
