Terms of Service

Effective date: January 15, 2025

⚠️This is a template and not legal advice. Please have counsel review before production.

1. Overview

Base Walk ("we", "us", "our") provides a platform for step challenges on the Base blockchain. By accessing or using the app or site (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be legally capable of entering into these Terms in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for compliance with local laws related to contests, wagers, and digital assets.

3. Wallets & Blockchain

You connect a self-custodial wallet to participate. Transactions are recorded on-chain and may be irreversible. We do not control network fees or chain conditions.

4. Games, Entries & Payouts

  • Paid games escrow your entry in a smart contract until finalization.
  • Missed days create a proportional penalty; perfect completers share the pool.
  • Payouts are determined by the contract state; UI displays are informational.
  • Some games may include protocol/creator fees disclosed at join time.

5. Verification & Fair Play

  • Step verification is performed via authorized integrations (e.g., Google Fit, Apple Health) and recorded on-chain by our verifier ("oracle").
  • We may run anti-cheat checks and suspend or disqualify users for suspected manipulation or policy violations.

6. Assumption of Risk

Digital assets are volatile; smart contracts may contain bugs; third-party providers may fail. You use the Service at your own risk.

7. Prohibited Conduct

  • Fraud, spoofing step data, or exploiting contract logic.
  • Interfering with networks, scraping, or reverse-engineering restricted code.
  • Illegal, abusive, or harmful activity.

8. Intellectual Property

We retain rights to the Service, branding, and content. You retain rights to your user-generated content, granting us a license to display it on the Service.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties. We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Our aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) US$100 or (b) the fees you paid us in the 3 months before the claim.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted with a new effective date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
