Auora is beta software. These Terms are written in plain language by the project team — not by lawyers — and will be revised by qualified counsel before any uncapped mainnet launch. They are not legal advice. If anything in them conflicts with applicable law in your jurisdiction, applicable law wins.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Auora website, application, documentation, and related services (collectively, the “Interface”). The Interface is a front-end to autonomous, non-custodial smart contracts deployed on the Polygon network (the “Contracts”). By connecting a wallet or otherwise using the Interface, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Interface.

​
1. What Auora is — and isn’t

Auora is a non-custodial interface. What that means in practice:
  • We do not hold your funds. Deposits, winnings, and fees move directly between your wallet and the Contracts. There is no company-controlled account.
  • We are not your counterparty. Each prediction round pools funds from participants; payouts come from that pool, not from us.
  • We do not execute on your behalf. Every transaction you make is signed by your own wallet.
  • Settlement is oracle-based. Asset prices are sourced from Pyth Network Wormhole-signed price feeds. We run a bot that carries signed price data from Pyth to the Contracts; the bot cannot fabricate prices — it can only relay signed messages. The Contracts verify the signatures on-chain before settling.
  • The Contracts are non-upgradeable. Once deployed, the rules of a market cannot be changed. Migration requires deploying new contracts.
Auora is a software project. It is not a broker, exchange, bank, money-services business, investment adviser, or regulated gambling operator. Nothing on the Interface is a solicitation, offer, or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset.

​
2. Eligibility

To use the Interface, you represent and warrant that:
  1. You are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher).
  2. You are not a resident of, citizen of, or located in any jurisdiction where use of the Interface would be unlawful, restricted, or require a license we do not hold. This includes, without limitation, jurisdictions that prohibit online prediction markets, derivatives trading, or gambling by residents (you are responsible for checking).
  3. You are not on any sanctions list maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the EU, the UK, or the UN, and you are not located in a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction.
  4. You have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
  5. You are not acting on behalf of a sanctioned person, entity, or jurisdiction.
If we become aware that any of the above is false, we may restrict access from your wallet address or region. Because the Contracts are autonomous, restricting access at the Interface level does not prevent you from interacting with the Contracts directly at your own risk.

​
3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:
  • Use the Interface to conduct any illegal activity, including money laundering, terrorist financing, tax evasion, or sanctions evasion.
  • Attempt to exploit, manipulate, or attack the Contracts, the Interface, the oracle feed, or any other user.
  • Use bots, scripts, or automated tooling to gain an unfair advantage in prediction rounds beyond what the Contracts allow.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract proprietary logic from the Interface (the smart contracts themselves are open source — have at them).
  • Impersonate another user, create misleading referrals, or abuse the referral system.
  • Use the Interface in any way that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
  • Use the Interface if you are in a prohibited jurisdiction (see Section 2).
We may, at our sole discretion, block wallet addresses or IP ranges that we reasonably believe are engaged in any of the above.

​
4. No advice. No fiduciary duty.

Nothing on the Interface is financial, investment, legal, tax, or gambling advice. Prediction outcomes are not predictions of future events and should not be relied on as such. You are solely responsible for your decisions, and for determining whether a given prediction is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, risk tolerance, and applicable law. We owe you no fiduciary duty.

​
5. Risk acknowledgment

By using the Interface, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:
  • Total loss. You can lose 100% of any funds you stake. Predictions are not deposits and are not protected by any insurance scheme.
  • Smart-contract risk. The Contracts are autonomous software. They may contain bugs. They are not audited during beta. Even after audit, bugs may exist.
  • Oracle risk. Settlement depends on Pyth Network price feeds. If Pyth is compromised, delayed, or produces a stale or incorrect price, settlement may be delayed, incorrect, or blocked. The per-market confidence-interval gate rejects low-liquidity prices, which may further delay settlement during off-hours for certain assets (e.g. metals on weekends).
  • Network risk. Polygon may experience congestion, reorganizations, or outages. Transactions may fail, be delayed, or be included out of order.
  • Liveness risk. A bot operated by us is required to advance round lifecycles. If the bot fails, rounds may stall. We make no uptime guarantees during beta.
  • Key risk. If you lose access to your wallet, we cannot recover your funds. We never have access to your private keys.
  • Regulatory risk. The legal status of prediction markets, derivatives, and on-chain gambling is evolving and varies by jurisdiction. A regulatory action could restrict or terminate the Interface at any time.
  • Beta risk. The Interface and the Contracts are in beta with capped deposits and a limited user population. Expect bugs. Expect pauses. Expect breaking changes to the Interface. Real funds are at risk during beta.

​
6. Fees and rake

The Contracts charge a protocol fee of 5% on each round’s pot, taken from the winning side’s payout. Network gas fees are separate and paid by you at the time of each transaction. We may change the fee for future rounds; we cannot retroactively change fees for rounds already started. Fees collected by the Contracts are withdrawable by the Contract owner to cover operational costs and protocol development.

​
7. No warranty

THE INTERFACE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AUORA AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

​
8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL AUORA, ITS CONTRIBUTORS, OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOST GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE INTERFACE OR THE CONTRACTS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT AUORA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY CASE, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF AUORA AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE INTERFACE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) USD $100 OR (B) THE TOTAL PROTOCOL FEES YOU HAVE PAID TO THE CONTRACTS IN THE 30 DAYS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the above limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted.

​
9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Auora and its contributors from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Interface; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law; or (d) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual-property or privacy rights.

​
10. Intellectual property

The Interface, its design, trademarks, and branding are owned by Auora. You may not use the “Auora” name or logos without permission. The smart contracts in the public repository are open source under their respective licenses — see the repository for details. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to our trademarks.

​
11. Third-party services

The Interface integrates with third-party services, including but not limited to:
  • Polygon — underlying blockchain
  • Pyth Network — price oracle
  • Privy — wallet connection and authentication
  • RainbowKit — wallet UI
  • Analytics providers — aggregate usage analytics
Your interactions with these third parties are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their availability, performance, or actions.

​
12. Changes to the Interface and the Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Interface at any time, with or without notice. We may update these Terms; the “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced via the Interface or our community channels. Continued use of the Interface after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

​
13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Interface at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Termination does not affect the Contracts, which remain autonomous and accessible directly on-chain. Sections 4 through 10 survive termination.

​
14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Auora is operated (to be specified at mainnet launch), without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of these Terms will be resolved first by good-faith informal negotiation, and if that fails, by binding arbitration or the courts of that jurisdiction. You waive any right to participate in a class action to the maximum extent permitted by law.

​
15. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any documents expressly referenced, constitute the entire agreement between you and Auora regarding the Interface.
  • Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them freely.
  • Contact. Questions about these Terms: support@auora.gg
Auora is operated by the project’s contributors. These Terms are subject to revision by qualified counsel prior to any uncapped mainnet launch.
