Terms of use

1. Who may use the service

The service is for adults only (18+, or older if the law of your country requires it).

You are responsible for making sure that playing for money and using cryptocurrency are legal where you live. The service may be unavailable in some countries, and we may restrict access.

2. What the service is

HiMeet: chess games in which players may stake USDC on the Polygon network. Stakes are held by a smart contract, not by us. The result is determined by the game server according to the rules of chess.

The result depends on your skill, but winning is not guaranteed: you can lose your whole stake. Only stake what you can afford to lose.

3. Stakes and fee

A 10% fee is taken from the pot of a game with a winner, and the winner receives the rest. On a draw, a cancellation or if the result cannot be recorded, stakes are refunded in full.

You claim winnings yourself with the Claim button (it needs a transaction and a small reserve of POL for the network fee). The maximum stake is limited by the contract.

Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Check amounts and addresses in your wallet before confirming.

4. Games without stakes

Bot games and free games with a friend by link involve no money and are not recorded on the blockchain. Free games are kept on the server only briefly and may be deleted without notice.

5. Game NFTs

After a game with a stake has ended, its players may create an NFT of a chosen move for 1 USDC. The fee goes to the app balance. The picture and data of the NFT are stored on the Polygon blockchain.

The app receives a 5% royalty on resales if the marketplace (for example OpenSea) pays it. An NFT does not promise profit, its price is not guaranteed and nobody is obliged to buy it. An NFT is not a security or an investment offer.

Resale marketplaces belong to third parties, and you accept their rules and risks yourself.

6. Referral program

The inviter receives a share of the fee from paid games of invited friends according to the levels shown in the Earn section. A friend counts after their first paid game.

Income is not guaranteed. Terms, levels and percentages may change, and we will announce important changes in the app. Spam, deception and fake activity are forbidden and lead to a refusal of payouts. You pay taxes on your own income.

7. Plans and token

The roadmap describes intentions, not promises of dates or income. An own token may be issued only when the conditions stated in the roadmap are met, including a legal review. A description of plans is not an offer of securities or a call to buy anything.

8. Fair play

Using an engine or other people during a game, multiple accounts, collusion with an opponent and any attempt to deceive the service or the contract are forbidden. Violations may lead to a ban and loss of access; funds in the contract stay under its rules.

9. Responsible play

If playing stops being fun, stop and seek help. Do not play while intoxicated or with borrowed money.

10. Data and privacy

You sign in with your wallet. We do not ask for email or passwords and have no access to your keys. Your wallet address and transactions are public on the blockchain. When you sign in, your wallet asks you to confirm two things: connecting to the site and the sign-in signature (a free message: no money is spent and no network fee is needed). The signature is valid for 14 days.

The server stores game records, sign-in signatures, the link to your inviter and the profile data you provided. Your device keeps settings (language, theme, chosen pawns and voice) and seat secrets of free games. Third-party services (wallets, network access providers) are used and have their own rules.

11. Limitation of liability

The service is provided as is. We are not responsible for failures of the Polygon network, wallets and third-party platforms, lost keys, players' decisions and losses from stakes. A smart contract may contain errors despite checks.

11a. Dating

The dating section is for users aged 18+ only. By publishing a profile you confirm your age and that the photos are yours.

Links, contacts and advertising are not allowed in profiles. Fraud, requests for money or wallet details, abuse and explicit content are prohibited and lead to a ban.

We do not verify members' identities and are not responsible for how people behave when they communicate outside the site. Never send money to people you barely know.

Reports about profiles and messages may be reviewed by moderators, including the reported message. You can hide or delete your profile at any time.

11b. Voice calls

Voice calls are available to signed-in users. Audio is sent directly between participants (WebRTC); the site does not record or store conversations. A relay server may be used to connect the call and does not keep its content.

The server stores only call metadata: participants, start time and duration. It is used to prevent abuse and for possible future rewards.

Threats, abuse, fraud, spam and requests for money or wallet details are prohibited. You can decline or end a call at any time and report a user from their profile.

Call limits apply. We may restrict calls or ban accounts for violations. You decide whether to answer and what to say; do not share personal details with strangers.

11c. Classifieds

The classifieds section lets users post ads for sale, wanted, rent, jobs and services. The site provides the platform and is not a party to deals between users, does not verify goods, services or vacancies and is not responsible for them, for their quality, price, legality or the performance of obligations.

The author is responsible for the content of the ad and the rights to its photos. Counterfeit, stolen and illegal goods and services, fraud, spam, advertising of third-party services, and phone numbers, links and contacts in the text are prohibited. Communication takes place in the site chat.

One ad per user is free, plus one more free ad for each invited user who starts using the site. An ad is valid for 30 days, with at most 10 active ads per user. Paid options: an ad beyond the free ones costs 1 USDC for 30 days, renewal for 30 days costs 1 USDC, and top placement in the list costs 3 USDC for 7 days. Payment is made by sending USDC on the Polygon network from your wallet to the service address; you pay the network fee separately in POL. The price is shown before you confirm, and you confirm the transfer in your own wallet. Blockchain transfers are irreversible: paid placement, renewal and top placement are not refunded, including when you delete the ad, when moderation hides it for breaking the rules, or when it expires. One transfer is counted once; if the transfer went through but the action did not complete, repeat the action and you will not be charged again. Prices may change, a new price applies only to new payments and is shown in advance. Ad payments are unrelated to the games and the betting contract. Payment questions: chessgrokearn@gmail.com. Free credits may change and are not counted in case of abuse (fake invitees).

Moderators may hide or delete an ad and block an account for violations; three user reports hide an ad until it is reviewed. Never prepay strangers or share wallet details. Check the item and the person before you pay.

12. Changes and contact

We may change these terms; by continuing to use the service you accept the new version. Contact: chessgrokearn@gmail.com.
