Last Updated: March 20, 2026

  1. Introduction

These Terms of Use provide the terms and conditions under which you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you” or “your”), are permitted to use, interact with or otherwise access the Interfaces or Features provided by Adventure One QSS, Inc. (“the Company,” “A1” “we,” “us,” or “our”).  These Terms of Use, together with any documents and additional terms or policies that are appended hereto or that expressly incorporate these Terms of Use by reference as well as our Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Terms”), constitute a binding agreement between you and us.

These Terms are applicable to (i) all content, informational functionality, and information features (the “Content Features”) available on Polymarket.com (the “Site”) and any other site to which the Terms are posted (each, as applicable, an “Interface”) and (ii) software, including but not limited to the blockchain-based, smart contract protocol (the “Protocol”) known as Polymarket (hereinafter, the “Platform”), that may be available to users by connecting their self-hosted wallets via an Interface, including but not limited to the Site (the “Technology Features” and together with the Content Features, the “Features”).

The Site primarily functions to provide the Content Features — that is, news and information about global current events.  If you are in a Restricted Jurisdiction (as defined below), you are only permitted to use the Content Features on the Site or any other Interface and may not use the Site or any other Interface for any other purpose and you may not access the Technology Features, including and in particular the Platform. 

NOTICE: PLEASE REVIEW THE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING, INTERACTING WITH OR USING THE SITE OR ANY OTHER INTERFACE (INCLUDING BY LINKING YOUR WALLET, OR OTHERWISE CREATING AN IDENTIFIER ON THE SITE), ANY INTERFACE OR ANY FEATURE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO ENTER INTO A BINDING AGREEMENT AND, AS SUCH, HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS, INCLUDING THE BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO INTERACT WITH, ACCESS OR USE ANY INTERFACE OR FEATURE.

USE OF THE SITE, PLATFORM OR TECHNOLOGY FEATURES FOR TRADING IS NOT PERMITTED BY PERSONS OR ENTITIES WHO RESIDE IN, ARE LOCATED IN, ARE INCORPORATED IN, HAVE A REGISTERED OFFICE IN, OR HAVE THEIR PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, BELGIUM, FRANCE, GERMANY, HUNGARY, ITALY, THE NETHERLANDS, ONTARIO, POLAND, QUEBEC, RUSSIA, SINGAPORE, SLOVAKIA, TWAIWAN, THAILAND, THE UNITED KINGDOM, OR ANY OTHER RESTRICTED TERRITORY AS DEFINED BELOW (ANY SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY FROM THESE JURISDICTIONS, A “RESTRICTED PERSON”).  ADDITIONALLY, USE OF THE SITE, PLATFORM OR TECHNOLOGY FEATURES FOR TRADING IS NOT PERMITTED BY PERSONS OR ENTITIES (I) ON BEHALF OF ANY RESTRICTED PERSON(S) OR (II) DIRECTED, COORDINATED OR CONTROLLED BY ANY RESTRICTED PERSON (ANY SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY ALSO SHALL BE CONSIDERED A RESTRICTED PERSON).

THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS; THEREFORE, IF YOU ARE A RESTRICTED PERSON, THEN DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE SITE, PLATFORM OR ANY OF THE TECHNOLOGY FEATURES TO TRADE.  USE OF A VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (“VPN”) OR ANY SIMILAR TOOL TO ATTEMPT TO OR TO CIRCUMVENT THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.  ANY PERSON IN VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS MAY HAVE THEIR WALLETS PLACED IN CLOSE-ONLY MODE AND BE PROHIBITED FROM ACCESSING THE TECHNOLOGY FEATURES IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

  1. The Site and Features

  1. Description of the Site and Features

The Site contains different functionality – one part provides information about global news and events (the “Information Site”), while another part contains a feature that allows users to send messages to the Polygon blockchain network in an entirely self-directed manner in order to engage in trades for certain event-based contracts (the “Contracts”).  

Certain of the Features, including the Platform, were developed by a separate entity, Blockratize, Inc. (“Blockratize”).  Blockratize is a developer of software, and the Company is a licensee of such software.  Neither the Company nor Blockratize operates a cryptoasset or derivatives exchange platform or offer trade execution or clearing services and, therefore, neither has control concerning your transactions using the Features.

The pricing information provided on the Site relating to Contracts does not represent an offer, a solicitation of an offer, or any advice regarding, or recommendation to enter into, a transaction with the Company.    

Even when the Site appears to be dynamic (e.g., updating or providing new displays when you – on your own accord – provide certain information), at no time is the Company taking action directed by you or on your behalf.  In addition, if you click the “Connect Wallet” feature on the Site such that your self-hosted cryptocurrency wallet (“Wallet”) is able to provide information to be transmitted to a blockchain network or other blockchain-based application, you should note that the Company (i) is not involved in providing or transmitting any such information to networks, (ii) cannot transmit any information to networks or otherwise assist in any transaction, (iii) never has access to and cannot control or provide guarantees relating to your Wallet and (iv) has no authority over and does not take possession or custody of your cryptoassets at any time, except as otherwise discussed herein.  This also means that the Company is unable to assist with transactions: please be vigilant in interacting with any immutable blockchain technology.  Further, neither the Company nor Blockratize owns or controls any of the deployed Contracts, the underlying software through which blockchain networks are formed or the Protocol is deployed. In general, the software underlying blockchain networks, including the Polygon network, is open source, such that anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute it.

You are solely responsible for familiarizing yourself with your Wallet and its safety and security features, including any private keys and passwords associated therewith.  We will not and cannot access your private key, password, or any cryptoassets held within your Wallet nor can it reverse any transactions you initiate with your Wallet (or otherwise). We cannot be responsible or liable in any way for how you use your Wallet.

You should also familiarize yourself with the risks associated with transacting on blockchain networks, including but not limited to smart contract vulnerabilities, front end vulnerabilities, hacks, phishing attacks, social engineering attacks, cryptoasset volatility and transaction irreversibility.

Neither the Company nor Blockratize owns or controls the Protocol or the Polygon blockchain network on which the Protocol has been deployed.  Neither the Company nor Blockratize is responsible for the operation of the underlying Polygon blockchain network, and neither the Company nor Blockratize makes any guarantee of the network’s functionality, security, or availability.  The Company has no ability in any way to control, maintain, provide, operate, or improve the blockchain network underlying the Protocol nor the activity or data thereon.  The Company is not responsible for the activities of persons or entities who develop or use applications or who validate or verify transactions or other operations related to blockchain networks operated by third parties.  The Company cannot control how blockchain networks operated by third parties market their blockchain networks and users should not assume any blockchain networks operated by third parties are affiliated with the Company or with Blockratize.  All transactions broadcast to the applicable blockchain network via your Wallet may require the payment of non-refundable network transaction fees, which shall be borne entirely by you.

We do not effectuate, facilitate or control any transactions initiated via the Platform, and the Company will not be responsible for the result of any transactions, including but not limited to failed, inadvertent, or fraudulent transactions that may result in loss of funds or transaction fees or any other loss or harm to you.

  1. Your Acknowledgement Relating to the Site and Information on the Site

You hereby acknowledge and agree that all information provided as part of the Content Features in connection with your access and use of the Site is intended for informational purposes only.  The Site strives to provide accurate information, but there is no guarantee or warranty that the information is updated, complete, or timely.  For this reason, you acknowledge and agree that you are not relying on any of the information on the Site or any other Interface for any purpose and expressly (i) disclaim any reliance on any information on the Site or within the Features, and (ii) acknowledge that neither the Company nor Blockratize will be liable for any such information provided.

From time to time the Site, any other Interface or the Features may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including, without limitation: (A) equipment malfunctions; (B) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs that the Company or any of its suppliers or contractors may undertake from time to time; (C) causes beyond the Company’s control or that the Company could not reasonably foresee; (D) disruptions and temporary or permanent unavailability of underlying blockchain infrastructure; or (E) unavailability of third-party service providers or external partners for any reason.

You should take all steps to independently verify any information on the Site and any Interface on which you intend to rely and should not take action based solely on any information contained on any Interfaces, including blog posts, data, articles, links to third-party content, social media content (including Discord, Lens, Farcaster or X), news feeds, tutorials and videos.

None of the information provided on the Site, any other Interface, or through the Features should be construed as professional or investment advice, and the Company does not owe any duties and does not have any obligations to you based on the information provided on the Site, any other Interface, or through the Features.  You acknowledge and agree that all information provided in connection with your access and use of the Site, any other Interface, and the Features is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional advice.  You should not take, or refrain from taking, any action based on any information contained on the Site or any other Interface, or any other information that we make available at any time, including, without limitation, blog posts, articles, links to third-party content, discord content, news feeds, tutorials, social media content, and videos.  Before you make any financial, legal, or other decisions involving the Features, you should seek independent professional advice from an individual who is licensed and qualified in the area for which such advice would be appropriate.  The Terms are not intended to, and do not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us.  You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we owe you are those set out expressly in these Terms.

None of the information provided on the Site, any other Interface, or through any of the Features shall be interpreted as an invitation or inducement to (i) exercise any rights to acquire, dispose of, underwrite, or convert any cryptoassets or digital assets or (ii) buy, sell, or induce a user to buy or sell any cryptoassets or digital assets.

Neither the Company nor Blockratize is acting as an investment adviser, trading, tax, legal or other adviser to any person or entity.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify the Terms at any time or from time to time.  The modified Terms will be posted on the Site and any other Interface and will provide the last updated date at the top.  Any modified Terms will become effective upon posting.  By continuing to access, use or otherwise interact with any Interface or Feature after the effective date of any modification to the Terms, you are providing your explicit agreement to be bound by the Terms as modified.  If you do not agree to be bound by any updated Terms, you are prohibited from using, accessing, or otherwise interacting with the Interfaces or Features.  It is your responsibility to check any Interface you use regularly for modifications to the Terms.

  1. To the Site, any other Interface, or the Features

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, substitute, eliminate, restrict access to, or add to the Site, any other Interface, or any Feature at any time and from time to time, with or without notice to you, including deleting or otherwise materially modifying content and information.

We may, at our sole discretion, from time to time and with or without prior notice to you, modify, suspend or disable (temporarily or permanently) the Site, any other Interface, or the Features, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, to only allow open contracts to be closed.  Upon termination of your access, your right to use the Site, any other Interface, or the Features will immediately cease.  We will not be liable for any losses suffered by you resulting from any modification to any Site, any other Interface, or Features or from any modification, suspension, or termination, for any reason, of your access to all or any portion of the Site, any other Interface, or the Features.  The Site, any other Interface, and the Features may evolve, which means the Company may apply changes, replace, or discontinue (temporarily or permanently) the Site, any other Interface, or the Features at any time in its sole discretion.

The following sections of these Terms will survive any termination of your access to the Site, any other Interface, or the Features, regardless of the reasons for its expiration or termination, in addition to any other provision which by law or by its nature should survive: Sections 5, 7-10.

  1. Your Responsibilities, Representations & Prohibited Conduct

As a condition to accessing or using the Site or the Features, you represent and warrant to the Company the following:

Of Age and Legal Authority.  The Site, any other Interface, and Features are intended only for users who are 18 years of age or older.  If you are entering into the Terms on behalf of an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent to us that you have the legal authority to bind such an entity.  If you do not meet these requirements, you are prohibited from accessing, using or otherwise interacting with the Site, any other Interface, or Features.

Sanctions.  You represent and warrant that you are not, and for the duration of the time you use the Site, any other Interface, and Features, will not be (i) the subject of economic or trade sanctions administered or enforced by any governmental authority or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties; (ii) in contravention of any laws and regulations pertaining to anti-money laundering or terrorist financing; (iii) included on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons maintained by the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) or on any list pursuant to European Union (EU) and/or United Kingdom (UK) regulations (as the latter are extended to Panama by statutory instrument); or (iv) operationally based or domiciled in a country or territory in which sanctions imposed by the United Nations (whether through the Security Council or otherwise), OFAC, the EU and/or the UK apply, or otherwise pursuant to sanctions imposed by the United Nations, OFAC, EU, or UK.  If at any point the above is no longer true, then you must immediately cease using the Site, any other Interface, and Features.

Restricted Jurisdictions.  You acknowledge and agree that you are not permitted to access, use or trade with the Contracts on the Platform if you are residing in, a citizen of, organized in or located in the following jurisdictions (collectively, the “Restricted Jurisdictions”): Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Ontario, Poland, Quebec, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States; or a jurisdiction or territory that is the subject of comprehensive country-wide, territory-wide, or regional economic sanctions by the United States, including but not limited to Iran, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, and the Crimea, Dontesk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine..

Wallet Configuration.  You represent and warrant that you – and only you – are responsible for properly configuring, as applicable, and using the Site, any other Interface, or the Features or incorporating the Features into your applications or Wallet and for taking appropriate action to secure your data, including without limitation, financial or token information and private keys.  

No VPN To Circumvent or Attempt to Circumvent.  You do not, and will not, use VPN software or any other privacy or anonymization tools or techniques to circumvent, or attempt to circumvent, any restrictions that apply to the Site, any other Interface, or the Features.

Sophistication.  You represent and warrant that you possess sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice, experience and skills to engage with the Site, any other Interface, and the Features, including the Platform if you are permitted to use it, and that you have the requisite understanding of blockchain technology, cryptoassets and cryptography to be able to engage with the Features.  

Applicable Law.  Your access to the Site, any other Interface, and Features is not (i) prohibited by and does not otherwise violate or assist you to violate any domestic or foreign law, rule, statute, regulation, by-law, order, protocol, code, decree, or another directive, requirement, or guideline, published or in force that applies to or is otherwise intended to govern or regulate any person, property, transaction, activity, event or other matter, including any rule, order, judgment, directive or other requirement or guideline issued by any domestic or foreign federal, provincial or state, municipal, local or other governmental, regulatory, judicial or administrative authority having jurisdiction over the Company, you, the Site, any other Interface, or the Features, or as otherwise duly enacted, enforceable by law, the common law or equity (collectively, “Applicable Laws”); or (ii) contribute to or facilitate any illegal activity.  You represent and warrant that you will comply with all Applicable Laws, and you will not use the Site, any other Interface, or the Features if the laws of your country, or any Applicable Law, prohibit you from doing so.  ​​

Financial Risks.  Use of the Features, in particular entering into Contracts on the Platform, may carry financial risk. You acknowledge and understand that Contracts are inherently risky by their nature and participation in Contracts could result in the loss of the full amount supplied.  Contracts such as the Contracts available on the Platform are highly experimental, risky, and volatile. Transactions entered into in connection with the Contracts are irreversible, final and there are no refunds. You acknowledge and agree that you will access and use the Site, any other Interface, and the Features, including the Contracts and the Platform, at your own risk. The risk of loss in transacting in cryptoassets using Contracts can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such transactions are suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. Further, such risks and adverse outcomes may be exacerbated when leverage and/or derivative products are used and we may, at any time and in our sole discretion, elect to suspend or terminate our support of any or all supported Contracts.  BY USING THE PLATFORM TO TRADE AND ENTER INTO CONTRACTS, YOU CAN LOSE UP TO THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE CRYPTOASSETS SUPPLIED TO THE CONTRACT.

Contract Resolution.  You acknowledge and understand that the Company is not involved in nor responsible for the resolution of any Contracts displayed on the Platform.  You further acknowledge and understand that all Contracts displayed on the Platform are resolved by the UMA Optimistic Oracle, a smart contract based optimistic oracle in accordance with a Contract’s pre-defined rules.  You acknowledge and agree that the Company is not responsible for any disputes related to the resolution of any Contracts and that any such disputes shall be made through the prescribed process through the UMA App.

  1. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

  1. Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Panama Arbitration Law and the laws of Panama, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 8 “Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes that you and the Company are not required to arbitrate will be the courts located in Panama, and you and the Company each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

  1. Dispute Resolution

Before either you or the Company or Blockratize (together, the “Parties”) assert any claim against the other for damages or relief of any kind, the Parties agree to make a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute by utilizing the following procedures.  Each Party agrees that, before initiating or demanding a formal proceeding, the Parties will meet and confer in a good-faith effort to resolve informally any claim arising out of these Terms of Use or your use of the Site.  

In order to initiate a claim, a Party shall, as a condition precedent to engaging in the remainder of the dispute resolution process, notify the other Party in writing of the intent to file a complaint.  If you intend to initiate such a claim, you must send an electronic communication to the Company at hello@polymarket.com with “Complaint Resolution Process” in the subject line, and include the following information:

  1. Your wallet address and/or user name;
  2. Your first and last name;
  3. A detailed explanation of the complaint with any supporting documentation or information;
  4. Any specific dates and times associated with the complaint, as applicable; and
  5. The remedy or action you are seeking from the Company.

Similarly, if the Company intends to initiate such a claim, the Company must send an electronic communication to you with the following information:

  1. Your wallet address and/or user name;
  2. A detailed explanation of the complaint with any supporting documentation or information;
  3. Any specific dates and times associated with the complaint, as applicable; and
  4. The remedy or action the Company is seeking from you.

The Initial Dispute Resolution Process cannot commence without submission of a written communication containing the information outlined above.  After sixty (60) business days have passed following the submission of a complaint by one Party to the other, if it included all of the requisite information listed above, and if for some reason the complaint has not been resolved, the complaining Party may then, and only then, pursue a formal claim as provided for below.

The Parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good-faith negotiations which shall be a condition precedent to either Party initiating a formal claim as provided in this Agreement.  If the Parties do not reach a resolution within the sixty (60) business day timeframe, or any such other time period as may be required by law, from the time all required complaint information is delivered (“Tolling Period”), then either Party may initiate binding arbitration, as the sole and exclusive dispute resolution process pursuant to the binding Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver below, except as expressly set forth therein.

To the extent the process described herein is inconsistent with the statutory requirements of the governing jurisdiction, it shall be so modified to conform to the laws of that jurisdiction.

The Parties agree that any relevant limitations period will be tolled during (and by) the Tolling Period.

In the event of any claim or arbitration between the Parties, as set forth below, the Company may, in its sole discretion, in accordance with applicable laws, temporarily suspend or terminate your account.

Please read this binding agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) and class action waiver (“Class Action Waiver”) carefully because it requires the Parties to arbitrate certain disputes and claims on an individual basis only and limits the manner in which the Parties can seek relief from each other.  Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Terms, Interfaces or Features, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of the Terms, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be determined by arbitration before one arbitrator.  This Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver apply to any claims you may currently possess and any claim that may arise in the future.  This clause will not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

The Parties’ Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver mandate that all past, pending, and/or future disputes between you and the Company shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis only and for your own losses only.  Under these terms, you may not proceed as a class representative, as a member or part of any proposed class, collective action, as a private attorney general, qui tam action or under any representative proceeding, and you may not otherwise seek to recover on behalf of others.  You and the Company further agree that any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement shall not proceed as a class, group or representative action.  You further acknowledge that your agreement to arbitrate means you will not be able to seek damages in court or present your case to a jury.

In addition, in the event of any Dispute concerning or relating to this Agreement—including the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of the Arbitration Agreement, as well as the arbitrability of any claims—the Parties agree and delegate to the arbitrator the exclusive jurisdiction to rule on their own jurisdiction over the Dispute, including any objections with respect to the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Agreement or its provisions, as well as the arbitrability of any claims or counterclaims presented as part of the Dispute.

  1. Separate Agreement & Applicable Law

The Parties acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement is a separate agreement between the Parties and that any alleged or determined invalidity or illegality of all or any part of the Terms of Use, the Site, any other Interface, Features, and/or Privacy Policy shall have no effect upon the validity and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.

  1. Good Faith

By signing a demand for arbitration, a Party certifies, to the best of their knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that:  (i) the demand for arbitration is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (ii) the claims and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a non-frivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (iii) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.

  1. Waiver of Class Relief and Collective Action

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, You may not proceed in arbitration or court as a class representative, member or part of any proposed class, collective action, private attorney general suit, qui tam action or any representative proceeding, or otherwise seek to recover on behalf of others or for the benefit or use of others in any type of claim or action.  You agree that you are waiving rights to participate in a class action, and that by agreeing to these terms, you give up your right to participate in any future class action or any other consolidated or representative proceeding, including any proceeding existing as of the date You accepted these Terms.

You hereby agree to take all reasonable steps to conduct further research and to consult with counsel (at your expense) regarding the consequences of your decisions regarding arbitration and opting-out of arbitration.

  1. Severability

This Arbitration Agreement applies solely to the extent permitted by law.  If for any reason any provision of this Arbitration Agreement, or portion thereof, is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part of this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.  To the fullest extent allowable by law and equity, the Parties agree that any such unenforceable provision may be blue-penciled or otherwise construed by the forum presiding over any dispute to give effect to the intent of the Parties as consistent with the overall purpose and intent of the Arbitration Agreement, and may be deemed replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision.
