TERMS OF SERVICE

For the purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

"Platform" refers collectively to the Solborn website, web application, application programming interfaces (APIs), smart contracts, and all associated digital infrastructure operated under the Solborn High Rune Protocol.

"Protocol" refers to the Solborn on-chain smart contract system deployed on the Solana blockchain, including but not limited to the wager lobby, treasury, and profile programme accounts.

"User," "You," or "Your" refers to any individual or entity that accesses, browses, registers on, or otherwise interacts with the Platform in any capacity.

"Operator," "We," "Us," or "Our" refers to the developers, contributors, administrators, and legal owners of the Solborn Platform.

"Digital Assets" means SOL (Solana's native cryptocurrency) and any other blockchain-based tokens, NFTs, or fungible assets utilised within or transferred through the Platform.

"Wager Lobby" refers to any on-chain smart contract account created on the Platform for the purpose of conducting a wagered match between two Users.

"Smart Contract" means any self-executing programme deployed on the Solana blockchain as part of the Protocol.

"NFT" or "Card" means any non-fungible token representing in-game assets such as character cards, cosmetics, or collectibles minted through the Protocol.

By accessing, registering on, or otherwise using the Platform, You acknowledge that You have read, understood, and unconditionally agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service and all incorporated policies, disclaimers, and notices referenced herein. If You do not agree to any provision of these Terms, You must immediately cease all use of the Platform.

Your continued use of the Platform following any update to these Terms constitutes Your ongoing acceptance of the revised Terms. We reserve the right to amend these Terms at any time at Our sole discretion. Material amendments will be communicated via the Platform interface; however, it is Your sole responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

2.1 On-Chain Acceptance. The act of initialising a User profile on the Solana blockchain by invoking the Protocol's initialize_profile instruction and thereby creating a Programme Derived Address ("PDA") associated with Your wallet constitutes, in and of itself, a legally binding acknowledgement and unconditional acceptance of these Terms in their entirety, regardless of whether You completed the in-application acceptance flow. Where a profile PDA exists on-chain for a given wallet address, it shall be conclusively presumed that the holder of that wallet has read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms, and no defence of ignorance or failure to review shall be available to such User.

You represent and warrant that: (a) You are at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of majority in Your applicable jurisdiction, whichever is greater; (b) You have the full legal capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement; (c) Your access to and use of the Platform does not violate any applicable law, regulation, statute, ordinance, rule, or treaty in Your jurisdiction of residence or the jurisdiction in which You access the Platform; and (d) You are not located in, incorporated in, or a resident of any jurisdiction in which participation in online wagering, cryptocurrency transactions, or decentralised finance activities is prohibited or restricted.

We make no representation that the Platform is appropriate or lawfully available for use in all jurisdictions. Users who access the Platform from restricted jurisdictions do so entirely at their own risk and legal liability.

Solborn is a decentralised, blockchain-based competitive card game operating on the Solana network. The Platform enables Users to mint in-game NFT cards, construct decks, participate in casual and wagered competitive matches, and engage in other in-game activities as made available from time to time.

The Protocol operates via autonomous Smart Contracts. Certain Platform functions — including but not limited to Wager Lobby creation, match settlement, and profile initialisation — are executed on-chain and are therefore irreversible once confirmed. The Operator does not control the Solana blockchain and cannot reverse, cancel, or modify confirmed blockchain transactions.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION WITH EXTREME CARE. PARTICIPATION IN WAGER LOBBIES INVOLVES REAL FINANCIAL RISK AND YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF THE DIGITAL ASSETS YOU STAKE.

5.1 Nature of Wagers. Wager Lobbies involve the staking of SOL or other Digital Assets on the outcome of a competitive match. The Platform is skill-based; however, outcomes are not guaranteed, and no outcome is assured regardless of player skill level, deck composition, or any prior performance.

5.2 Volatility of Digital Assets. Digital Assets, including SOL, are subject to extreme market volatility. Their value may decrease substantially or become zero at any time. The Operator bears no responsibility for any loss in the fiat-equivalent value of Digital Assets held, staked, won, or lost through the Platform.

5.3 No Guaranteed Returns. Past performance of any User, card, or strategy does not constitute or imply future results. The Operator makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the profitability of participation in Wager Lobbies.

5.4 Platform Fees. The Protocol charges a fee on Wager Lobby settlements, the current rate of which is displayed on the Platform interface. These fees are non-refundable and are deducted automatically via Smart Contract at settlement.

5.5 No Financial Advice. Nothing published on or communicated through the Platform constitutes financial, investment, tax, legal, or regulatory advice. You agree to seek independent professional advice before making any financial decisions in connection with Your use of the Platform.

6.1 Code Risk. Smart Contracts deployed as part of the Protocol have been developed with reasonable care; however, no software code is entirely free from defects, vulnerabilities, or unintended behaviours. The Operator does not warrant that the Smart Contracts will operate error-free, uninterrupted, or in a manner free from security vulnerabilities.

6.2 Irreversibility. Transactions executed on-chain via Smart Contracts are final and irreversible. The Operator has no technical ability to reverse, cancel, or modify any on-chain transaction once it has been confirmed by the Solana network.

6.3 Third-Party Infrastructure. The Platform depends upon third-party infrastructure including, without limitation, the Solana blockchain network, RPC providers, and wallet adapters. The Operator bears no liability for failures, outages, forks, or adverse events attributable to such third-party infrastructure.

7.1 Data Storage. The Platform collects and stores certain User data including, but not limited to, wallet addresses, in-game statistics, match history, quest progress, and leaderboard rankings. User Data is stored on Operator-controlled infrastructure. The Operator shall implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to safeguard User Data.

7.2 No Liability for Data Loss. THE OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, CORRUPTION, UNAUTHORISED ACCESS TO, OR DESTRUCTION OF USER DATA. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THAT YOUR IN-GAME PROGRESS, STATISTICS, AND OFF-CHAIN RECORDS MAY BE LOST AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO BE RECOVERABLE.

7.3 Best-Efforts Recovery. In the event that a verified bug results in a loss of Digital Assets, the Operator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to facilitate recovery. THE OPERATOR MAKES NO GUARANTEE, REPRESENTATION, OR WARRANTY THAT ANY SUCH RECOVERY WILL BE POSSIBLE, SUCCESSFUL, OR COMPLETE.

8.1 Ownership. All content, materials, designs, artwork, software, trademarks, trade names, and logos are the exclusive proprietary property of the Operator or its licensors.

8.2 Copyright Notice. Copyright © 2025–2026 Solborn / High Rune Protocol. All Rights Reserved.

8.3 Limited Licence. The Operator grants You a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform solely for Your personal, non-commercial, entertainment purposes.

8.4 NFT Asset Licence. Ownership of an NFT card minted through the Protocol confers upon the holder a personal, non-exclusive licence to display and use the associated artwork strictly within the Platform.

You agree that You shall not, and shall not attempt to: exploit bugs; use automated scripts/bots; engage in match manipulation; attempt unauthorised access to systems; or harass other Users.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE OPERATOR SHALL HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY. THE OPERATOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS IS ZERO (£0 / $0 / €0).

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration.
