In the most serious cases we may be required to report the User to the competent authorities.
2.7. If the User provides outdated, false or incomplete information, we may suspend or close the account.
2.8. Inactive accounts: [optional, to be decided] if an account is not used for at least 12 months, we may charge a monthly administration fee, with at least 10 days' notice so that the available balance can be withdrawn. When the balance reaches zero, the account is closed.
2.9. Content: in connection with the Services (profile, nickname, chats, official channels) you may not create or publish content that is illegal, offensive, threatening, defamatory, false, obscene, discriminatory or otherwise unacceptable in our judgement.
3. Monitoring of the Services
3.1. We are not responsible for opinions or advice expressed by Users in the Services or community channels, which remain the responsibility of whoever posts them.
3.2. We have no obligation to monitor content posted by Users, but we may moderate it.
3.3. We may refuse any nickname at our discretion.
4. Disclaimer
4.1. DegenLand does not provide investment, financial, tax or legal advice. The information on the website is for informational purposes only and does not replace the advice of a professional.
4.2. DegenLand is not a financial advisor or broker, and no content on the website is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold cryptocurrencies.
4.3. Game information, including reward estimates, does not guarantee profits or the absence of losses.
5. User warranties
5.1. The User warrants that they will not use DegenLand for money laundering or other unlawful acts, and that the funds used to buy game tokens do not come from unlawful activities. The User also warrants compliance with applicable anti-money laundering regulations at all times.
5.2. The User warrants that, in connection with the use of DegenLand, they will not offer money or other benefits to public officials or others to obtain undue advantages.
5.3. The User agrees to indemnify the Administration against damages, costs and third-party claims arising from the User's breach of these Terms or of the law.
6. Intellectual property

6.2. If the User submits creative content as part of website initiatives (for example contests), they grant the Administration a non-exclusive, perpetual licence to reproduce it on the website and in promotional materials.
7. Liability
7.1. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages, costs or losses arising from the use of the website or reliance on its information, including loss of profits, data or virtual items.
7.2. We are not liable for interruptions, suspensions or discontinuation of the website, or for events beyond our control, including force majeure.
7.3. We are not liable for losses due to unauthorised access to the User's account caused by failure to safeguard credentials.
7.4. This does not affect any rights that the law grants to consumers and that cannot be waived.
8. Awareness of risks
8.1. Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and not covered by public guarantees: the value of SOL rewards may change significantly.
8.2. Blockchain transactions are irreversible.
8.3. Buying game tokens is spending on an entertainment service, not an investment: tokens have no value outside the game and the User should only spend amounts they can afford to lose.
8.4. The User takes full responsibility for their decisions. The website is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
9. Excluded countries
9.1. DegenLand does not provide services to, and does not accept players residing in, countries subject to comprehensive sanctions or where the service is prohibited, including: [list of excluded countries].
9.2. Circumventing this restriction, for example with a VPN or false data, is prohibited.
10. Payments, tokens and withdrawals
10.1. Payments are made in cryptocurrency (SOL). All in-game purchases are made with the game token.
10.2. The game token is an internal virtual currency representing the User's balance on the website and has no real value. It cannot be withdrawn or transferred outside the game. Token purchases are final.
10.3. Deposits and withdrawals take place on the blockchain. We do not own or control the blockchain, wallets or other third-party services used by the User, and we cannot reverse transactions.
10.4. SOL rewards accrue in the withdrawal wallet. The User may only withdraw the available balance, starting from the minimum shown in the game (currently 0.1 SOL), with at most one request per day.
10.5. Withdrawals are checked and processed manually by the Administration, usually within 24–48 hours; in special cases the review may take longer. We may at any time freeze part of the User's balance and check it manually.
10.6. After a change of withdrawal address, withdrawals are suspended for 48 hours.
10.7. The User must use the correct network (Solana) and a correct address. Funds sent or withdrawn on the wrong network or to a wrong address cannot be recovered.
10.8. Network transaction fees are borne by the User. [State how they are applied.]
10.9. Deposits are non-refundable if the User breaches the rules in section 2.
10.10. The User is solely responsible for paying any taxes related to the use of the website and to the rewards received.
11. Referral program
11.1. Every User can take part in the referral program and receives a personal link. Anyone who signs up through that link becomes, indefinitely, an invitee of the User ("referrer").
11.2. The referrer receives a percentage (currently 15%) of their invitees' output, under the conditions published in the game. Users who sign up without an invite are assigned to the team account.
11.3. The referral program is for promotional purposes only. The following are prohibited: registering your own accounts through your link; having family members or housemates sign up to earn commissions on their activity; promoting the link with spam or promises of profit.
11.4. Breaches result in the permanent closure of the referrer's account. We may also remove improperly linked invitees.
11.5. We may change the conditions of the referral program. The current conditions can always be found in the game.
12. Miners, pools and seasons
12.1. Miners produce rewards only when the farm is started and only in the pool they were built for. Rewards shown in the game are estimates and are not guaranteed.
12.2. Each pool goes through three halvings, each with a new generation of miners, and closes when it reaches the number of blocks shown in the game. At each halving the output of existing miners is halved.
12.3. When a pool closes, its miners stop producing and are converted into token credit ("scrap credit"), which can only be spent on miners of the next pool. The credit is calculated as a percentage of the price paid by the miner's current owner: the list price for miners bought new, the price paid on the marketplace for miners bought used. The percentage, up to a maximum of 50% and no lower than 10%, is set by the Administration at closing based on the pool's conditions. Pixels are not scrapped.
12.4. Miners sold on the marketplace keep their wear (worked blocks, generation and remaining lifespan). Selling does not restore a miner.
12.5. Miners, except the Pixel, may break according to the game rules; repairs are paid in tokens.
12.6. Changes to the game's economic rules (prices, paybacks, repairs, scrap credit, halvings) normally apply from the next pool, except for measures needed to fix errors or abuse or to protect the functioning of the game.
13. Third-party websites and content
13.1. The website may contain links to third-party websites and content, including advertising videos. We do not control them and are not responsible for them; if you use them, you do so at your own risk and under those third parties' terms. Any purchases from third parties concern only the User and the third party.
14. Advertising
14.1. The website shows ads from third-party advertisers. Advertisers are solely responsible for their ads and for the products or services promoted; the Administration only provides the advertising space.
15. Changes to the Terms
15.1. We may change these Terms by publishing the new version on the website. The new version takes effect from the first use of the Services after publication or, at the latest, 15 days after publication.
16. Final provisions
16.1. These Terms remain in force while you use the website. We may deny access to the website, including by blocking IP addresses, and close accounts at our discretion and without notice, in particular in case of breach of the Terms or of the law.
16.2. If your account is suspended or closed, you may not create a new one, whether in your own name, a false name or the name of a third party. We may also take appropriate legal action.
16.3. For technical problems, contact support at [support email] describing the problem clearly: we undertake to reply within 5 days of receipt.
16.4. Disputes shall first be settled amicably. These Terms are governed by the law of [country]; the courts of [city] have jurisdiction, without prejudice to mandatory consumer rights.
16.5. These Terms are available in several languages. In case of discrepancies, the [reference language] version prevails.
