Terms of Service

grubstake.gg ("grubstake," "we," "us," or "our") is operated by FN Scary Games LLC, a Nevada limited liability company doing business as grubstake.gg, with a mailing address at [NEVADA MAILING ADDRESS].

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and FN Scary Games LLC and govern your access to and use of the grubstake.gg website, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, accessing, or otherwise using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Section 12 contains a binding arbitration agreement and a class-action waiver that govern how disputes between you and us are resolved. Read it carefully.

The Service is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Many activities on the platform — investment discussions, hiring, sales, partnership arrangements — require legal capacity to enter into binding agreements. By creating an account you represent that you are 18 or older, that the information you provide is accurate, and that you have authority to enter into these Terms.

Accounts found to belong to users under 18 will be removed. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; see the Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for keeping your credentials secure, and for any activity that takes place under your account. Notify us promptly at security@grubstake.gg if you believe your account has been compromised.

You may not impersonate other users or our team, share your account, or use the Service on behalf of someone else without their authorization. We may require verification before reinstating an account, releasing a handle, or making other account changes.

You retain ownership of the text, images, links, and other materials you submit to the Service ("Your Content"). You are solely responsible for Your Content and for ensuring you have the rights to submit it.

By submitting Your Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting, resizing, and security purposes), display, and distribute Your Content for the operation, promotion, and improvement of the Service. This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except that backups, anonymized aggregations, and content others have shared or copied may persist.

You agree not to submit content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, sexually explicit, hateful, or otherwise violates these Terms or the rights of others.

grubstake is a discovery and communication platform for the UGC gaming community. We do not facilitate payments, hold funds, escrow, broker, or guarantee performance of any agreement reached between users. Any contract, investment, employment, or commercial relationship arising from connections made on the Service is solely between the parties involved.

We are not a party to any deal between users. We do not provide investment, legal, tax, employment, or financial advice. Any monetary figures, timelines, or commitments displayed are user-supplied and unverified by us. Do your own due diligence. Use lawyers, accountants, and escrow services as appropriate.

The following are not allowed on the Service:

• Harassment, hate speech, threats, or stalking targeting any individual or group
• Sexually explicit or graphically violent content
• Spam, phishing, scams, or fraudulent solicitations
• Posting personal or private information of others without their consent ("doxxing")
• Soliciting minors or marketing services to those under 18
• Infringing the intellectual-property or privacy rights of others
• Distributing malware, exploits, or scraping the Service at scale or in a way that burdens our infrastructure
• Bypassing platform features, rate limits, or access controls
• Impersonating other users, brands, or our team, including via misleading handles
• Using the Service to coordinate illegal activity or to launder proceeds of illegal activity

We may, but are not obligated to, remove content, suspend accounts, or restrict features in response to violations or suspected violations.

We may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. Submitting a knowingly false notice may subject you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time through your dashboard. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the safety or rights of other users or third parties.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, license grants, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — survive.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We make no warranty regarding user-submitted content, third-party links, or any outcome of interactions between users. We do not verify the identity, qualifications, or representations of any user.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will FN Scary Games LLC, its members, officers, employees, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) one hundred US dollars (US$100) or (b) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless FN Scary Games LLC and its members, officers, employees, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) Your Content, (b) your use of or activities on the Service, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of applicable law or the rights of any third party.

Read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at legal@grubstake.ggwith a written description of the issue. We'll try to resolve it within 60 days.

Binding arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitrationadministered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Clark County, Nevada, or by video conference at your option, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. You and we each agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only. You waive the right to participate in a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding. An arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

Carve-outs.Either party may bring a claim in small-claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual-property rights.

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver by emailing legal@grubstake.gg within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your full name, the email associated with your account, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 12, the exclusive venue for any action not subject to arbitration is the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY] County, Nevada, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

We may update these Terms over time. Material changes will be announced on the Service and reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you don't agree to a change, stop using the Service and delete your account.

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them, including to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
