TERMS OF CHAOS
// LEGAL PROTOCOL V1.1 // READ BEFORE INTERACTING
These Terms are between you and the operator of BaseDare, the service available at basedare.xyz. BaseDare runs on public rails, signed actions are final, real-world dares carry real-world responsibility, and unsafe or illegal behavior is not welcome here.
1. The Protocol is Experimental
BaseDare is experimental code running on Base. If you fund, claim, or verify through the protocol, you accept that the system is still early-stage software and should be used carefully. Bounty funds stay in escrow until completion conditions are verified.
2. Adults Only
BaseDare is for people 18 years or older. Dares happen at real venues — bars, clubs, night markets — and payouts move real money. If you are under 18, this is not your app yet.
3. Immutable Actions
Blockchain transactions are final. Once you fund a bounty or interact with the contract, there is no platform-side undo button. Double-check before you sign.
4. Real World, Real Judgment
DARES: No self-harm, no illegal activity, no reckless physical danger. You remain responsible for your own choices and conduct. If someone ignores common sense, that liability does not jump back onto the protocol.
MEETUPS: Free meetups are gatherings between adults who choose to show up. We do not vet attendees, run background checks, or supervise events. Meet in public, bring your judgment, and leave if something feels off.
VENUES: Venues are real businesses with their own rules. House rules apply on top of ours. A dare is never an excuse to trespass, damage property, harass staff, or skip the bill.
5. Your Proof, Shared Stage
When you submit proof — photos, videos, captions, check-ins — you grant BaseDare a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display it on the map, the Board, venue pages, proof receipts, and BaseDare promotion. That is the point: proof is public memory.
You must own or have permission for what you upload. Only film people who are fine being filmed. We can remove any content that breaks these Terms, and moderation decisions on proof are final.
6. Messaging is Earned
Direct messages between strangers unlock only after verified crossed paths at the same venue. Do not use messaging to harass, spam, scam, or pressure anyone. We can revoke messaging access without notice from anyone who does.
7. Market Conditions
Crypto markets move. Even when a bounty is denominated in USDC, the broader environment around gas, wallets, and asset access can change. Only commit amounts you can afford to lock up.
8. Critical Legal Distinctions
NON-GAMBLING PLATFORM: BaseDare is NOT a gambling platform. Dares are conditional bounties/grants for verified real-world performance. There are no wagers, odds, or chance mechanisms.
NON-CUSTODIAL NATURE: We do NOT custody user USDC. All funds are held in immutable smart contracts on the Base network. You retain ultimate control through the contract's fixed parameters.
REFEREE WALLET LIMITATIONS: The platform's 'Referee wallet' solely executes contract state changes to abstract gas costs. It holds NO user funds and cannot arbitrarily redirect bounties.
REFUND POLICY: Refunds are strictly bound by the smart contract expiration logic. We cannot mathematically or manually refund or override the contract if conditions are not met. What happens on-chain, stays on-chain.
OPERATING ENTITY: "BaseDare", "we", and "us" refer to the operator of basedare.xyz. Formal operating entity details will be added when available.
