Patreek Website Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Patreek website ("Website"), the related services offered by Patreek Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"), and the content available through the Website (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years old and of legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

You may need to create an account to access certain features of the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information, including your username and password. You are also responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

The Service contains content owned or licensed by us and our licensors ("Content"). The Content is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You agree not to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works of the Content without our express written permission.

You may be able to submit content to the Service, such as comments or reviews ("User Generated Content"). You retain all ownership rights to your User Generated Content. However, by submitting User Generated Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, modify, publish, and translate your User Generated Content in connection with the Service. You also represent and warrant that your User Generated Content does not violate any third-party rights.

Patreek is designed for a general audience (13+) and is intended for informational, educational, and community discussion purposes. All content on Patreek—including advertisements, posts, comments, curated summaries, and user submissions—must remain appropriate for a broad audience. Content that is sexually explicit, pornographic, overly violent, profane, hateful, harassing, or otherwise X-rated is strictly prohibited. We do not allow content that promotes hate speech, racism, discrimination, or demeaning language toward any protected group. We reserve the right to remove content, suspend accounts, or permanently ban users and advertisers who violate these standards. By participating in the Patreek community, you agree to maintain respectful, fair, and civil interactions at all times.

Patreek has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for objectionable content and abusive users. Objectionable content includes, without limitation: (a) sexually explicit, pornographic, or child sexual abuse material; (b) hate speech, slurs, or content that dehumanizes any person or group based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristic; (c) targeted harassment, bullying, threats of violence, or incitement of violence; (d) graphic violence, gore, or content glorifying self-harm or suicide; (e) doxxing, non-consensual sharing of private information, or revenge imagery; (f) spam, scams, phishing, or fraudulent solicitations; (g) misinformation designed to cause real-world harm; (h) impersonation of another person or entity; (i) any content that is unlawful in the jurisdictions where Patreek operates. Abusive behavior includes harassment or bullying of other users, coordinated brigading, bad-faith mass-reporting, attempts to evade blocks or bans, and any conduct that makes the platform unsafe or unwelcoming for others. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to remove any content and to suspend or permanently terminate any account that engages in objectionable content or abusive behavior, at any time, with or without notice.

Every post, comment, profile, and message in Patreek can be flagged via the in-app Report action. Every user can be blocked via the in-app Block action on their profile; blocking instantly hides the blocked user's content from your feeds and prevents them from messaging or interacting with you. We commit to reviewing user reports and acting on confirmed violations within 24 hours. Moderation actions include removing content, issuing warnings, temporary suspensions, and permanent account termination. We maintain internal logs of all moderator actions. Repeat or severe offenders will be permanently removed from Patreek without refund of any purchased Poins, subscriptions, or other in-platform value.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the content or practices of any third-party websites or services. Your use of third-party websites or services is subject to the terms and conditions of those websites or services.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND AVAILABILITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES.

We may terminate your access to the Service for any reason or no reason, at any time, without notice.

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

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms will be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be held in Melissa, Texas, United States of America.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Service.

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

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms on the Website. You are advised to review these Terms periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the Service after the revised Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us at info@patreek.com.

• Poins are a virtual, non-transferable, and non-refundable digital utility token designed solely for use within the Patreek.com ecosystem. Poins are not money, currency, legal tender, or any form of investment contract or security under any jurisdiction.
• Poins have no real-world monetary value and cannot be exchanged, sold, or redeemed for any fiat currency, digital asset, or anything of value outside of the Services. Poins are “Dead End” tokens intended for consumption only.
• Poins are licensed, not owned. The Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use Poins for specific in-app functionalities, such as boosting user-generated content, purchasing internal advertising placements, redeeming Shop items, and other in-platform uses. Tipping other users is performed with XP, not Poins.
• All purchases of Poins are final and strictly non-refundable. The Company is not obligated to repurchase Poins or provide a refund for unused Poins, even if your account is terminated or the Services are discontinued.
• Prohibited uses: attempting to sell or trade Poins for real money on secondary markets; using Poins to facilitate any form of wagering, betting, or games of chance. Violations may result in immediate account termination and forfeiture of all Poins without compensation.

XP has no monetary value, cannot be purchased, and is used solely to measure community engagement and participation in social events.

• Nature of the Relationship. Participation in the Program does not create an employment, partnership, or investment relationship between the Member and Patreek. By reaching Level 3+ and maintaining a Gold or Ruby Membership, you act as an independent Content Provider. Payments are strictly a service fee for traffic and engagement your content generates for Patreek’s advertising partners.
• Eligibility and “Active Participation.” To be eligible for Revenue Sharing, a Member must: (a) maintain a valid Gold or Ruby Membership; (b) be at Level 3 (Neonate) or higher; (c) comply with all Community Guidelines (hate speech, spam, or “click-farming” result in immediate disqualification and forfeiture of pending revenue); (d) optionally, participate in at least X community actions or Forecasts per month to prove Active Status.
• Revenue Calculation (RPM Model). Revenue is calculated on Net Ad Revenue actually received by Patreek from third-party advertisers. Your share is determined by the number of qualified member views your content receives, multiplied by your tier-based revenue share rate (Gold: 5%, Ruby: 10%). Only member views count; guest, bot, and non-logged-in views are excluded. Ad rates fluctuate; Patreek does not guarantee any specific monthly income or “return on investment.”
• Payouts and Taxes. Payouts occur only once the Member balance exceeds $20.00 USD. Members are responsible for all taxes. Patreek may require a Form W-9 (U.S.) or W-8BEN (non-U.S.) before payout. If a membership is canceled or an account is banned for terms violations before reaching the $20 threshold, all accrued revenue is forfeited.
• Non-Interference with Prediction Markets. Revenue Sharing is funded solely by third-party advertising revenue. No funds from XP-based Forecast Markets, Poin purchases, or other community games are used to fund Revenue Sharing; these systems are legally and operationally separate.
