Terms of Service

support@battle.fyi
Effective Date: April 27, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the battle.fyi platform (“Platform”) operated by Karabiner Growth Partners LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. Nature of the Platform

The Platform provides a skill-based trading competition service. Participation on the Platform involves simulated (paper) trading competitions determined solely by participants’ skill, knowledge, and ability. All trading on the Platform is paper trading: users trade with simulated balances against live market prices sourced from Pyth Network and other data providers, but do not own, hold, settle, or have any beneficial interest in any real positions. The Platform is not a gambling service, a brokerage, an exchange, or a financial services platform. No real securities, cryptocurrencies, or financial instruments are traded on or through the Platform. The Company does not execute real trades on any user’s behalf and does not perform order routing to any exchange or trading venue.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. You may not use the Platform where prohibited by applicable law. Each individual may maintain only one account; multi-accounting may result in permanent suspension.

3. Account Registration

You must provide a valid email address or X Corp account or other means as defined by Platform to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

4. Virtual Credits

4.1 Grant of Credits

The Company may, in its sole discretion, grant virtual credits (“Credits”) to users upon account creation, through periodic distributions (including daily airdrops), promotional campaigns, or other mechanisms as determined by the Company from time to time. The amounts, frequency, and eligibility criteria for any Credit grants are set forth on the Platform and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

4.2 Purchase of Credits

Users may purchase Credits through the Platform using payment methods accepted by the Company. All Credit purchases are final. The pricing, denominations, and available payment methods for Credit purchases are as displayed on the Platform at the time of purchase and are subject to change at the Company’s sole discretion.

4.3 Use of Credits

Credits may be used exclusively within the Platform for purposes including, but not limited to: (a) purchasing power-ups and other in-platform game mechanics; (b) purchasing cosmetic items such as skins, avatars, and visual customizations; and (c) paying entry fees for competition lobbies. The specific items, features, and experiences available for purchase with Credits are as displayed on the Platform and may change at any time.

4.4 No Monetary Value

Credits have no real-world monetary value. Credits are not currency, are not a stored value product, and do not constitute a financial instrument of any kind. Credits cannot be redeemed, exchanged, or converted for cash, cryptocurrency, or any other form of consideration.

4.5 Non-Transferable

Credits are non-transferable. You may not sell, gift, trade, assign, or otherwise transfer Credits to any other user or third party. Any attempted transfer in violation of this provision is void.

4.6 No Refunds

All Credit purchases are non-refundable. You acknowledge and agree that once Credits are purchased, no refund, return, or exchange will be provided under any circumstances, except where required by applicable law.

4.7 No Expiration

Credits do not expire so long as your account remains active and in good standing.

4.8 Modification and Revocation

The Company reserves the right to manage, regulate, modify, or eliminate Credits and the Credit economy at any time, including adjusting Credit balances, airdrop schedules, pricing, and available uses, without liability to you. The Company may revoke Credits obtained through fraud, abuse, error, or violation of these Terms.

5. Power-Ups and Cosmetic Items

5.1. The Platform offers or may offer gamified features including power-ups (such as freezing, force liquidation, and other competitive mechanics) and cosmetic items (such as skins and visual customizations) that may be acquired using Credits.

5.2. Power-ups are available exclusively in casual and unranked competition modes. Power-ups are not available in ranked competitions, prize-eligible competitions, or any competition mode designated as “traditional paper trading.” Competitions with Power-ups may have their own ranking system, purely for entertainment and gamification purposes.

5.3. All power-ups and cosmetic items are virtual, have no monetary value, are non-transferable, and are subject to modification or discontinuation at any time.

6. Competition Tiers, Ranking, and Paid Lobbies

6.1. The Platform may offer multiple competition tiers based on skill level, experience, or other criteria as determined by the Company (e.g., learner, skilled, professional). Tier classifications, eligibility requirements, and available features within each tier are as displayed on the Platform and are subject to change.

6.2. Ranked competitions and advancement through tiers are based on performance in traditional paper trading competitions without power-ups or other purchasable competitive advantages. Rankings reflect skill-based outcomes only. The Platform may maintain separate ranking systems for traditional paper trading competitions and for gamified competitions featuring power-ups. Rankings in traditional paper trading competitions reflect skill-based outcomes only, without power-ups or other purchasable competitive advantages. Rankings in gamified competitions are for entertainment and matchmaking purposes and do not affect eligibility for Sponsored Competitions or prize-eligible events.

6.3. Certain competition lobbies may require a paid entry fee using Credits. Paid entry lobbies serve as a skill-based matchmaking mechanism, similar to ranked play tiers in competitive gaming. Entry fees for such lobbies are not pooled into prize pots, are not redistributed to participants, and do not constitute a wager. The Company does not operate a rake or take a percentage of any user pool.

6.4. The Company may, in its sole discretion, incorporate data from users’ real trading history (where voluntarily provided via exchange API integration as described in Section 9) as a factor in ranking and tier placement. Such incorporation is for ranking and matchmaking purposes only.

7. Sponsored Competitions and Prizes

7.1. The Company or third-party sponsors may, from time to time, offer competitions with prize pools (“Sponsored Competitions”). Sponsored Competitions are skill-based and may be conducted using traditional paper trading, gamified paper trading with power-ups, or any other format designated by the Company. In any Sponsored Competition that includes power-ups or other game mechanics, all participants will receive an equal allocation of Credits, power-ups, and other resources for that competition as determined by the Company. Participants may not purchase, import, or otherwise obtain additional Credits, power-ups, or competitive resources beyond the equal allocation provided. No prior purchase history or account balance confers any in-competition advantage.

7.2. Entry into Sponsored Competitions does not require payment of an entry fee. Eligibility for certain Sponsored Competitions may be restricted to users who have achieved a specified ranking threshold or tier. No purchase of Credits, power-ups, or any other item is required as a condition of eligibility or participation in a Sponsored Competition.

7.3. Prize pools for Sponsored Competitions are funded exclusively by the Company or by third-party sponsors. Prizes are not funded, in whole or in part, by participant entry fees or Credit expenditures.

7.4. The specific rules, eligibility criteria, prize amounts, distribution mechanics, and any additional conditions for each Sponsored Competition will be set forth in the applicable competition rules published on the Platform prior to the competition. Prize distribution criteria may vary by competition. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any specific competition rules, the competition rules shall control with respect to that competition.

7.5. Winners of Sponsored Competitions are solely responsible for any taxes, duties, or other governmental assessments arising from receipt of prizes. The Company may require winners to complete tax documentation (including IRS Form W-9 or W-8BEN, as applicable) as a condition of prize disbursement.

7.6. For the avoidance of doubt, a participant’s prior experience using power-ups or game mechanics acquired through normal Platform use outside of Sponsored Competitions constitutes skill development and does not constitute a purchasable competitive advantage within a Sponsored Competition.

8. Third-Party Links, Affiliate Relationships, and Referrals

8.1 Affiliate Disclosure

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, applications, and services, including cryptocurrency exchanges, trading platforms, and other financial service providers (“Third-Party Services”). Some of these links are affiliate or referral links, meaning the Company may receive compensation, commissions, or other economic benefits when you click on such links, register for accounts, or engage in transactions with Third-Party Services. This compensation may influence which Third-Party Services are featured on the Platform and the prominence of their placement.

8.2 No Endorsement or Recommendation

The inclusion of any link to a Third-Party Service on the Platform, whether or not the Company receives affiliate compensation in connection therewith, does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or solicitation by the Company. The Company does not recommend, advise, or suggest that any user open an account with, deposit funds into, or execute trades on any Third-Party Service. The decision to use any Third-Party Service is yours alone, made at your own risk and based on your own independent judgment.

8.3 No Agency or Control

The Company is not an agent, representative, broker, or introducer of any Third-Party Service. The Company does not control, operate, audit, or guarantee any Third-Party Service and is not responsible for the content, products, services, security practices, privacy policies, or terms of service of any Third-Party Service. Any transactions you conduct with a Third-Party Service are solely between you and that Third-Party Service.

8.4 Independent Decision-Making

You acknowledge and agree that: (a) your participation on the Platform is for skill-based competition and entertainment purposes only; (b) any skills, strategies, or results obtained on the Platform through simulated paper trading do not predict, guarantee, or imply future performance in real markets; (c) the Company has no duty to evaluate or ensure the suitability of any Third-Party Service for your individual circumstances; and (d) before engaging with any Third-Party Service or making any real trading or investment decision, you should conduct your own due diligence and consult with a qualified, licensed financial professional.

8.5 Assumption of Risk

You assume all risk associated with your use of any Third-Party Service accessed through the Platform. The Company shall have no liability for any losses, damages, claims, or expenses arising from or relating to your interactions with any Third-Party Service, including but not limited to trading losses, account compromises, regulatory actions, or insolvency of any Third-Party Service.

8.6 Regulatory Status

The Company does not act as a broker-dealer, introducing broker, investment adviser, commodity trading advisor, futures commission merchant, or any other category of regulated financial intermediary under United States federal or state law or the law of any other jurisdiction. The affiliate compensation received by the Company from Third-Party Services does not create a client, advisory, fiduciary, or brokerage relationship between the Company and any user.

9. Exchange API Integration

9.1 Voluntary Integration

The Platform may offer functionality allowing users to connect their accounts on third-party cryptocurrency exchanges or trading platforms via application programming interface (“API”) keys or OAuth-based authorization (“Exchange Integration”). Exchange Integration is entirely voluntary and is not required to use the Platform.

9.2 Scope of Access

Where Exchange Integration is available, the Platform will request read-only access to your trade history for the purpose of ranking, tier placement, and matchmaking. The Platform does not request, obtain, or exercise trade execution permissions. The Company does not place orders, execute trades, transfer funds, or perform any transaction on your behalf on any exchange.

9.3 Security

API credentials provided through Exchange Integration are encrypted using AES-256-GCM or equivalent industry-standard encryption. Company personnel cannot access your API credentials in plaintext. Notwithstanding these measures, you acknowledge that connecting third-party accounts involves inherent risks and you do so at your own risk.

9.4 No Liability

The Company is not responsible for any unauthorized access to, or misuse of, your exchange accounts, whether arising from a security breach of the Platform, compromise of your API credentials, or any other cause. You are solely responsible for managing the permissions and scope of any API keys you provide and for revoking access at any time through your exchange’s settings.

10. User Data, Analytics, and Derived Content

10.1 Anonymized and Aggregated Data

You acknowledge and agree that the Company may anonymize and aggregate data generated through your use of the Platform (including but not limited to trading patterns, strategy performance, competition results, and behavioral analytics) such that it can no longer be used to identify you, directly or indirectly. Once data has been irreversibly anonymized, it is no longer personal data and the Company may use, analyze, distribute, license, and sell such anonymized and aggregated data for any commercial purpose, including but not limited to creating analytics products, research reports, educational materials, market intelligence, and data services, without restriction, compensation, or further obligation to you.

10.2 Derived Educational and Commercial Content

The Company may use anonymized and aggregated Platform data to create learning materials, tutorials, strategy analyses, case studies, market research, referral tools, and other content (“Derived Content”). Derived Content is the sole property of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no Derived Content will contain information that identifies or is reasonably capable of identifying any individual user.

10.3 Identifiable Data

To the extent the Company uses any data that constitutes personal data (as defined under applicable privacy law) for purposes beyond operating the Platform and providing services to you, such use will be conducted only with your explicit consent or as otherwise permitted under applicable law, and will be governed by the Privacy Policy.

11. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose
• Interfere with or disrupt the Platform’s infrastructure
• Use bots, scripts, or automated means to access the Platform or gain competitive advantage, except where expressly permitted by competition rules
• Impersonate another person or entity
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users’ accounts or Platform systems
• Collude with other users to manipulate competition outcomes or rankings
• Exploit bugs, glitches, or errors in the Platform to gain Credits or competitive advantage; report them to hk@crackedlabs.xyz instead
• Engage in wash trading or any form of artificial activity designed to inflate rankings

12. Intellectual Property

All content, features, functionality, trademarks, and trade dress of the Platform are owned by Karabiner Growth Partners LLC and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms. Users retain ownership of trading strategies they create, but grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to execute such strategies within the Platform environment.

13. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

THE PLATFORM IS A SKILL-BASED COMPETITION SERVICE USING SIMULATED PAPER TRADING. NOTHING ON THE PLATFORM CONSTITUTES INVESTMENT ADVICE, FINANCIAL ADVICE, TRADING ADVICE, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. ANY COMPETITION RESULTS, RANKINGS, SCORES, TRADER SCORES, PERFORMANCE METRICS, OR SIMULATED PORTFOLIO VALUES DISPLAYED ON THE PLATFORM ARE FOR COMPETITIVE AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS RECOMMENDATIONS OR SOLICITATIONS TO BUY, SELL, OR HOLD ANY FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT, SECURITY, CRYPTOCURRENCY, OR OTHER ASSET.

PAST PERFORMANCE IN ANY COMPETITION ON THE PLATFORM IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS IN REAL MARKETS. SIMULATED TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE ACTUAL MARKET RISK AND CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF EXECUTION SLIPPAGE, TRADING FEES, COUNTERPARTY RISK, LIQUIDITY CONSTRAINTS, EMOTIONAL PRESSURE, OR OTHER MARKET CONDITIONS PRESENT IN REAL TRADING.

PRICE FEEDS ARE SOURCED FROM PYTH NETWORK AND OTHER THIRD-PARTY DATA PROVIDERS. THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY PRICE DATA. FEED OUTAGES MAY PAUSE OR AFFECT COMPETITIONS; DECISIONS DURING SUCH EVENTS ARE AT THE COMPANY’S DISCRETION.

THE PRESENCE OF AFFILIATE LINKS OR REFERRAL LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SERVICES ON THE PLATFORM DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A RECOMMENDATION, ENDORSEMENT, OR SOLICITATION. THE COMPANY RECEIVES COMPENSATION FROM CERTAIN THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND THIS COMPENSATION MAY INFLUENCE PLACEMENT AND PROMINENCE OF SUCH LINKS. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR EVALUATING THE SUITABILITY OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED ON INFORMATION, RESULTS, OR EXPERIENCES OBTAINED THROUGH THE PLATFORM ARE MADE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE COMPANY IS NOT A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER, INVESTMENT ADVISER, INTRODUCING BROKER, COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR, FUTURES COMMISSION MERCHANT, FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, OR MONEY SERVICES BUSINESS AND DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY REGULATED FINANCIAL SERVICES.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE ACCESSED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE COMPANY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO THE COMPANY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

16.1 Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

16.2 Mandatory Arbitration

Except as set forth in Section 16.5, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform (“Dispute”) shall be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware, provided that hearings may be conducted by videoconference at the arbitrator’s discretion or as required by the AAA Rules.

16.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

16.4 Arbitration Fees

If your claim does not exceed $500, the Company will bear all arbitration filing fees, administration fees, and arbitrator fees beyond the initial consumer filing fee required by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. For claims exceeding $500, fees shall be allocated in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. Each party bears its own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitrator awards fees to the prevailing party under applicable law.

16.5 Exceptions

The following are excluded from mandatory arbitration: (a) individual claims brought in small claims court, provided the claim remains in small claims court and is pursued on an individual basis; and (b) actions seeking injunctive or equitable relief to prevent unauthorized use, misappropriation of intellectual property, or other irreparable harm, which may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.

16.6 30-Day Opt-Out Right

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to hk@crackedlabs.xyz within thirty (30) days of your first acceptance of these Terms. The notice must include your name, email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration provision. If you opt out, Disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

16.7 Severability of Class Waiver

If any portion of Section 16.3 (Class Action Waiver) is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 16 shall be null and void with respect to the affected Dispute, and such Dispute shall proceed in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.

17. Beta / Testing Status

The Platform is currently in a testing and development phase. Features, functionality, Credit economics, competition formats, exchange integrations, affiliate partnerships, and availability may change or be discontinued at any time without notice. We make no guarantees regarding uptime, data accuracy, reliability, or continuity of service during this phase.

18. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately, and any Credits remaining in your account are forfeited without refund or compensation. Sections 4.4, 4.6, 8, 9.4, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 20 survive termination.

19. Modifications

We may modify these Terms at any time by posting the revised version on the Platform. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-product banner with at least seven (7) days’ notice before taking effect. Your continued use of the Platform after any modification constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

20. No Investment Advice

For the avoidance of doubt: the Platform is a skill-based competition service using simulated paper trading. It does not provide, and nothing on the Platform should be construed as, investment advice, financial planning, brokerage services, or any recommendation regarding the purchase, sale, or holding of any securities, cryptocurrencies, or financial instruments. Past performance in any competition does not guarantee future results in real markets. Simulated results have inherent limitations, including the fact that they do not reflect actual market execution, liquidity constraints, or emotional factors present in live trading. If you connect a real exchange account and use strategies learned on the Platform to trade with real capital, you can lose part or all of your capital. Leverage amplifies losses. Cryptocurrency markets are volatile and largely unregulated. The presence of affiliate or referral links to Third-Party Services on the Platform does not alter the nature of the Platform or create any advisory, fiduciary, or brokerage relationship between the Company and any user. You should consult a qualified, licensed financial professional before making any investment or trading decisions.

21. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

22. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Paper Trading Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding your use of the Platform and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
