Terms of Service

1. Agreement and acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the Open Bounty websites, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Platform") operated by the Platform operator ("we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms.

If you are using the Platform on behalf of a business or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

If you do not agree, do not use the Platform or create an account. Separate program-specific terms (for example, the Partner Embed Program) may apply in addition when you participate in those programs.

2. What the Platform is

The Platform provides software and tools for affiliate-style and referral-based commerce and marketing in connection with campaigns, merchandise, and related fan engagement. We facilitate technology, display, and payment plumbing (including integrations such as Stripe) between users—we are not the promoter, matchmaker, sanctioning body, or seller of record for your events or products unless expressly stated in a separate agreement.

We do not organize, sanction, or insure athletic contests. Descriptions on the Platform (including rulesets or labels such as exhibition or sport) are supplied by users and do not constitute our representation about legality or regulatory status.

3. Your compliance responsibilities

You are solely responsible for compliance with all laws, regulations, and rules that apply to you and your use of the Platform in every jurisdiction where you operate or where your activities have effect. This includes, without limitation: athletic commissions and sanctioning; amateur and professional eligibility; advertising, marketing, and consumer protection; prize, contest, sweepstakes, sports betting, and fantasy-sports rules where applicable; privacy and data protection when you collect information; licensing for your business; and any obligations related to minors or vulnerable participants.

You represent that your activities, including any exhibition, sporting, or entertainment events you describe or promote through the Platform, are lawful where you conduct them. You will not use the Platform for unlawful prize fighting, unlawful wagering, or other illegal purposes.

4. Payments, commissions, and taxes

Amounts earned by athletes or other participants through the Platform are structured as commissions, referral fees, or similar affiliate-style compensation—not wages, fight purses, or guaranteed payments from us. Payouts depend on third-party payment providers (such as Stripe), successful transactions, and your accurate onboarding and tax information.

You are responsible for all tax reporting, withholdings, and filings applicable to you. We do not provide tax, accounting, or legal advice.

5. No guarantees; no professional advice

We do not guarantee any level of earnings, traffic, conversions, campaign success, or continued availability of features. The Platform is provided on an as-available basis.

Nothing on the Platform is legal, financial, tax, or professional advice. Consult your own qualified advisors.

6. Your content

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, reproduce, display, and distribute content you submit (such as names, images, descriptions, and campaign materials) as reasonably necessary to operate, improve, and promote the Platform.

You represent that you have all rights and permissions needed for your content and that it does not violate third-party rights or applicable law.

7. Acceptable use

You will not misuse the Platform, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, commit fraud, harass others, distribute malware, or violate our policies or applicable law. We may suspend or terminate access for violations or risk to users or the Platform.

8. Disclaimers; limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO THE PLATFORM IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE PLATFORM IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100), EXCEPT WHERE LIMITATION IS PROHIBITED BY LAW.

9. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Platform operator and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights.

10. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy, available at /legal/privacy. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that policy.

11. Changes

We may modify these Terms. We will post updated Terms and may update the version identifier. Material changes may require you to accept a new version before continued use of certain features. Your continued use after notice may constitute acceptance where permitted by law.

12. General

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the Platform operator, excluding conflict-of-law rules, unless a different governing law is required by your jurisdiction. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Platform (subject to additional program terms where applicable).

For questions about these Terms, contact us using the contact information provided on the Platform website.

13. Version

These Terms are version 2026-05-platform-v1. Your acceptance is recorded with your account with this version identifier and a timestamp when you create or update your account as described in the signup flow.
