These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of SOLARA — a decentralized, on-chain lottery protocol operating on the Solana blockchain, together with the SOLARA website, mobile application, and related interfaces (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, connecting a wallet, or purchasing a ticket, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
By using the Service you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and the operators of SOLARA ("SOLARA", "we", "us", or "our"). If you use the Service on behalf of any other person or entity, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on their behalf.
To use the Service, you represent and warrant that you:
It is your sole responsibility to determine whether your use of the Service is lawful in your jurisdiction. We may refuse, restrict, or terminate access to any user at our discretion.
The Service is not offered to, and may not be used by, any person who is located in, incorporated in, or a resident of any jurisdiction where participation in lotteries, gambling, or games of chance, or the use of cryptocurrency, is prohibited or restricted by applicable law. You must not use the Service if doing so would be unlawful in your jurisdiction, and you must not use any technical means (such as a VPN or proxy) to circumvent these restrictions. By using the Service, you represent that you are not a sanctioned person and are not acting on behalf of a sanctioned person under the laws of any applicable authority.
SOLARA is a set of autonomous smart contracts deployed on the Solana blockchain. The Service is non-custodial: we do not hold, control, or have access to your funds, private keys, or wallet. All tickets, draws, prize allocations, and payouts are executed by on-chain program logic. Prize pools are held by the on-chain program, not by us. We provide interfaces (a website and a mobile application) that make it easier to interact with these smart contracts, but the underlying protocol operates independently of any interface.
Because the protocol is decentralized software, we cannot reverse, cancel, or modify any transaction, ticket, draw result, or payout once it has occurred on-chain.
The parameters above reflect the current configuration of the protocol and may be changed. The on-chain program is the authoritative source of truth for all ticket, draw, and payout logic.
SOLARA is a game of chance. The outcome of any draw is random and cannot be predicted or influenced. There is no guarantee that any ticket will win any prize. Purchasing a ticket is not an investment, and ticket purchases confer no ownership, equity, dividend, governance, or profit-sharing rights. Nothing in the Service constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.
Participation in games of chance can be addictive and carries financial risk. You should only participate with funds you can afford to lose. Set your own limits, do not chase losses, and seek help if gambling stops being fun or begins to affect your finances or wellbeing. Support services for problem gambling are available in many jurisdictions. If you feel you may have a gambling problem, please stop using the Service and seek assistance.
You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet, private keys, seed phrases, and devices. We never have access to and will never ask for your private keys or seed phrase. Any transaction you authorize with your wallet is your responsibility. We are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized access to your wallet, lost keys, phishing, malware, or your interaction with fraudulent or third-party software.
Interacting with the Solana blockchain requires network (gas) fees payable to the network, in addition to the ticket price and any operator fee. You are responsible for all fees associated with your transactions. You are solely responsible for determining, reporting, and paying any taxes that apply to your use of the Service, including on any prizes won. We do not withhold or remit taxes on your behalf.
By using the Service, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:
You assume all such risks voluntarily and agree that we are not responsible for any resulting loss.
You agree not to: use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive purpose; attempt to exploit, manipulate, or interfere with the smart contracts, the randomness mechanism, or any draw; use bots, scripts, or automated means to gain an unfair advantage; engage in money laundering or the financing of illegal activity; infringe the rights of others; or circumvent any restriction in these Terms. Violation may result in loss of access to the interfaces, without prejudice to the autonomous operation of the on-chain protocol.
The SOLARA name, logo, branding, website, application design, text, and graphics are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without our prior written consent. See our Copyright Notice for details.
The Service relies on and may link to third-party products and services, including wallet providers, RPC providers, the Solana network, and app distribution platforms. We do not control and are not responsible for these third parties, their availability, or their terms. Your use of any third-party service is subject to that party's own terms and policies.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECT WILL BE CORRECTED.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR DIGITAL ASSETS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT LIABILITY CANNOT BE FULLY EXCLUDED, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF OPERATOR FEES WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED FROM YOUR TICKET PURCHASES IN THE THIRTY (30) DAYS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SOLARA and its operators from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any part of it, and we may update these Terms, at any time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Service.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service — including its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, or termination — shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, conducted on an individual basis before a single arbitrator under the rules of a recognized international arbitration body, in the English language. You and we each agree that claims may be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. To the extent permitted by law, you waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class action. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief to protect its intellectual property or confidential information, and nothing here deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection laws of your place of residence that apply to you and cannot be waived by agreement.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Copyright Notice, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
