Terms of Service

"Contest" means any skill-based prediction competition offered on the Service. "Entry" means a submission to a Contest, whether paid or via AMOE. "Prize Pool" means the aggregate paid entry amounts (net of any disclosed platform service fee handling) distributed to winning Entrants. "$CIPE" means the closed-loop utility unit described in Section 8. "AMOE" means Alternate Means of Entry, the free entry pathway described in Section 7. "Content" means any information, text, images, statistics, or other material made available through the Service. "Restricted Jurisdiction" means any territory listed on our Jurisdictions page as restricted or unavailable, or any territory subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by the United States, the European Union, or the United Kingdom.

To use the Service you must: (a) be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher; (b) have full legal capacity to enter into a contract; (c) be a legal resident of, and physically located in, a jurisdiction where skill-based sweepstakes contests are lawful; (d) not appear on any government sanctions, terrorism, or denied-persons list, and not be a person with whom United States, EU, or UK persons are prohibited from transacting; and (e) not be voluntarily or involuntarily self-excluded from gaming, sweepstakes, or similar programs.

You represent and warrant that all information you provide is true, accurate, current, and complete, and that you will keep it up to date. Legendars may verify eligibility at any time and may suspend, void, or reverse Entries and prizes obtained in breach of this Section.

Employees, officers, directors, contractors, and immediate household members of Legendars and its affiliates are not eligible to receive prizes in Contests they can materially influence.

Legendars is a skill-based contest and sweepstakes venue. Contest outcomes are determined by deterministic scoring against publicly reported game statistics. There is no house position, no bookmaker, no fixed or variable odds, no line, no spread, and no random number generation in the payout path. Legendars is not a sportsbook, casino, betting exchange, or gambling operator, and is not a party or counterparty to any Contest; Legendars acts as venue operator and scorekeeper only.

Nothing on the Service constitutes an offer to accept a wager or a bet, and nothing constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.

You must create an account to enter Contests. You agree to: (a) provide accurate registration information; (b) maintain the confidentiality of your credentials; (c) not share, sell, or transfer your account; (d) immediately notify us of any unauthorized access at security@legendars.com; and (e) accept responsibility for all activity under your account, whether or not authorized. We may require reasonable identity verification at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts, void Entries, forfeit ineligible winnings, and refer matters to law enforcement for violations of these Terms, fraud, collusion, chargeback abuse, sanctions breaches, or activity that threatens Contest integrity.

You are responsible for knowing whether use of the Service is lawful in your location. Paid Contests are unavailable in Restricted Jurisdictions. We may use IP-based geolocation, device signals, and self-attestation to enforce jurisdictional restrictions. Attempting to defeat geolocation using a VPN, proxy, remote desktop, virtual machine, or falsified location data is a material breach of these Terms and grounds for forfeiture of Entries, prizes, and balances.

Each Contest publishes: entry amount, entry window, lock time, scoring rule, tie-breaker rule, prize structure, and settlement source of truth. Prize Pools are funded entirely by paid Entrants. Winners are paid from that pool according to the published split (typically 50% / 30% / 20% to ranks 1, 2, and 3). Legendars does not take a share of the Prize Pool; the platform service fee described in Section 9 is separate and additive at checkout.

Once a Contest locks, Entries are final and non-refundable except as expressly stated in these Terms or required by law. If a Contest is cancelled before lock, paid Entries are refunded in $CIPE. If a Contest is cancelled after lock due to postponement or cancellation of the underlying event and cannot be rescheduled within a reasonable window, Entries are refunded on a pro-rata basis.

Scoring occurs after official statistics are posted. Rankings are calculated algorithmically and displayed on the Contest page. In the event of a tie, prizes for the tied ranks are pooled and divided equally among the tied Entrants, rounded down to the nearest $CIPE cent, with any residual retained in the ledger reserve.

No purchase is ever necessary to enter or win. Free entry into any paid Contest is available via the AMOE page. AMOE Entries compete on identical scoring criteria and are eligible for the same prizes as paid Entries. Reasonable per-person, per-Contest AMOE limits may apply and are disclosed on the AMOE page. Automated, batched, or bot-submitted AMOE Entries are void.

$CIPE is a closed-loop utility unit used solely within the Legendars ecosystem for entry into Contests and receipt of prizes. $CIPE is not a security, not a commodity offering, not fiat currency, not e-money, not a stored-value instrument regulated as such in your jurisdiction unless expressly registered, not legal tender, and not a wagering instrument. Balances do not accrue interest, dividends, or rewards. $CIPE has no value outside the Service except through authorized exchange partner off-ramp flows, which are subject to that partner's terms, fees, limits, KYC, and jurisdictional availability. Legendars may impose reasonable limits on conversion for compliance, fraud, or operational reasons.

Unclaimed or dormant balances may be handled in accordance with applicable unclaimed property laws.

A platform service fee (currently 10%) is added on top of each paid Entry and clearly disclosed at checkout before you commit. The full Entry amount funds the Prize Pool; the fee is Legendars' revenue for operating the venue, technology, compliance, and support. The fee is charged regardless of Contest outcome and is not a rake, commission, or vig on winnings. AMOE Entries pay no fee. See our Theory of Operations for detail.

You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to: (a) enter from a Restricted Jurisdiction or misrepresent your location or identity; (b) operate, control, or benefit from more than one account, or use another person's account; (c) use bots, scripts, scrapers, automated agents, or any non-human means to interact with the Service; (d) collude, share information for competitive advantage, chip-dump, or manipulate leaderboards; (e) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, tamper with, or attempt to derive source code from the Service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law; (f) probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service without prior written authorization; (g) use the Service for money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, tax evasion, or any unlawful purpose; (h) upload, transmit, or link to content that is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, harassing, infringing, malicious, or that contains personal data of others without a lawful basis; (i) use the Service to solicit or market wagering, credit, or securities products; or (j) interfere with the operation of the Service, including via denial-of-service attempts, credential stuffing, or spam.

You retain ownership of content you submit (e.g., display name, avatar, predictions, public commentary) ("User Content"). You grant Legendars a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, publish, publicly display, and distribute your User Content solely to operate, promote, and improve the Service. You represent that you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms or any third-party rights. We may remove User Content at our discretion.

The Service, including the Legendars name, Legendars scoring engine, logos, trademarks, trade dress, site copy, software, and design elements, is owned by Legendars or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws worldwide. Statistics and scores are sourced from public reporting and used under fair use, license, or public-record principles as applicable. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service for its intended personal, non-commercial purpose. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Report suspected copyright infringement (DMCA and equivalent EU/UK notices) to dmca@legendars.com with the identifiers required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).

Official game statistics from the source identified on each Contest page are the source of truth for scoring. If a statistic is corrected by the official source within 72 hours of settlement, Legendars may re-run scoring and adjust payouts accordingly; ledger changes are append-only and auditable. Result disputes must be submitted to support@legendars.com within seven (7) days of settlement or are waived.

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Legendars and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, suppliers, and licensors disclaim all warranties and conditions, express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or that defects will be corrected, or that any Content or statistic is accurate or complete. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in such jurisdictions the above exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted, and nothing in these Terms limits statutory consumer rights that cannot be limited by contract.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Legendars and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, suppliers, and licensors, will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or opportunity, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total platform service fees you paid to Legendars in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD 100). The limitations in this Section do not apply to: liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; gross negligence or willful misconduct; or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including, for UK/EEA consumers, statutory non-excludable rights).

Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to conflict of law rules, and, where applicable, the Federal Arbitration Act. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting legal@legendars.com and allowing sixty (60) days for good-faith resolution.

Binding arbitration. Except as provided below, any dispute not resolved informally will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will be conducted in Miami-Dade County, Florida, or, at your election, by video or in the county of your residence. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve all threshold issues of arbitrability. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. You and Legendars 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, private attorney general, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding.

Small claims and IP carve-outs. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights.

30-day opt out. You may opt out of the arbitration and class waiver provisions in this Section by emailing legal@legendars.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account email, and intent to opt out.

EU / UK consumers. Nothing in this Section deprives an EU or UK consumer of the protection of mandatory laws of their country of habitual residence, including the right to bring proceedings in the local courts of that country. EU consumers may also use the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. UK consumers retain all statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and other applicable UK consumer protection legislation.

Where applicable law grants a statutory right of withdrawal for digital services, you expressly consent, by placing a paid Entry, to immediate performance of the Service and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the Contest locks, because performance has begun with your consent. Prior to lock, you may cancel a paid Entry for a full $CIPE refund. This does not affect statutory rights that cannot be waived by contract, including remedies for services not performed as described.

You represent that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country or territory subject to comprehensive United States, EU, or UK sanctions, and that you are not on any restricted-party list. You will not use the Service in violation of any applicable export control or sanctions laws.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Legendars and its affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of or access to the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property or privacy rights; (d) your User Content; or (e) any misrepresentation regarding eligibility or location. This obligation survives termination.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, void Entries, freeze balances pending investigation, and forfeit ineligible winnings, at any time and without prior notice, for breach of these Terms, suspected fraud or collusion, sanctions concerns, legal or regulatory obligation, or risk to the integrity of the Service. You may close your account at any time by emailing support@legendars.com. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 8, 10, 12, 14 through 19, and 21 through 25.

Legendars is not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, epidemics or pandemics, government action, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, or the postponement or cancellation of underlying sporting events.

We may modify or discontinue features of the Service at any time. We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notified in-app or by email at least seven (7) days before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and close your account.

By using the Service, you consent to receive electronic communications from us. Legal notices to you may be sent to the email on your account and are deemed received 24 hours after transmission. Legal notices to Legendars must be sent to legal@legendars.com and, if requested, by postal mail to the address provided in reply.

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them without restriction. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, contest-specific rules, and any documents they incorporate, constitute the entire agreement between you and Legendars regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on that subject. Failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right.
