Terms of Service

Effective Date: 1 May 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a binding legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Mystery Box Advertising Services (the "Company", "we", "us", or "our"), an emerging economic establishment licensed in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (Licence No. CN-6490590; Unified Licence No. 501-2026-200068763), and govern your access to and use of the Mystery Box website and related services (the "Service").

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

1. The Service

The Service is an online platform that displays a finite, fixed number of digital "blocks". Users may pay a fee to "break" a block. To break a block, you must submit a name, email address, city, and country. Your public name, city, and country will be associated with the block; your email address is retained privately for receipts, invoicing, reconciliation, fraud prevention, customer support, and purchase collation. Once all blocks have been broken, the public information associated with each block is displayed on a publicly accessible global leaderboard.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and capable of entering into a legally binding contract under the laws applicable to you. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

3. Payments and Non-Refundability

3.1. All fees are quoted and charged in United States Dollars (USD).

3.2. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. Accepted methods are credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Stripe Link. By making a payment, you also agree to Stripe's terms of service.

3.3. All payments are final and non-refundable. Once you have paid to break a block, you are not entitled to any refund, credit, exchange, or reversal under any circumstance, including but not limited to:

• changing your mind;
• submitting incorrect, incomplete, or unwanted block information;
• dissatisfaction with the leaderboard, the Service, or any aspect thereof;
• delay in the leaderboard becoming publicly visible due to remaining unbroken blocks;
• the leaderboard ceasing to be displayed at any time after the minimum retention period; or
• technical issues that do not prevent your block from being recorded.

3.4. You agree not to initiate any chargeback, payment dispute, or reversal in respect of fees lawfully charged. Any such action will be treated as a material breach of these Terms, and we reserve the right to recover from you any amounts charged back together with any associated fees and costs (including reasonable legal fees).

4. User Submissions

4.1. You are solely responsible for the information you submit when breaking a block (each, a "Submission").

4.2. The Service does not verify the accuracy of any Submission. You acknowledge that any name, city, or country appearing on the Service may be fabricated, and that no Submission should be relied upon as a representation of any real person, location, or contact detail.

4.3. By making a Submission, you grant the Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sublicensable and transferable licence to host, store, reproduce, display, publish, distribute, and otherwise use the public portions of that Submission as part of the Service, including on the public leaderboard, in marketing or promotional materials, and on third-party distribution channels. Your email address is private transaction metadata and is not part of the public leaderboard.

4.4. You represent and warrant that each of your Submissions:

• does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
• does not contain unlawful, defamatory, threatening, harassing, hateful, obscene, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable content;
• does not contain personal data of any third party (you must use your own information or fictional information; you must not submit another person's name, email, or other identifying details without authorisation);
• does not contain malware, scripts, executable code, or attempts to interfere with the operation of the Service.

4.5. We reserve the right (but not the obligation) to remove, redact, or refuse to display any Submission that, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms or applicable law. Removal of a Submission does not entitle you to a refund.

5. Public Display

You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

• The public name, city, country, and block/package information in your Submission is intended to be displayed publicly and worldwide;
• Your email address is used privately for receipts, invoicing, reconciliation, fraud prevention, customer support, and purchase collation;
• Once submitted, you cannot edit, retract, or remove your Submission;
• Third parties may copy, screenshot, archive, index, or redistribute leaderboard content beyond our control; and
• You should not submit public block information you wish to keep private.

While the Service is designed to display the leaderboard for an extended period, the Company makes no binding commitment as to the duration for which the leaderboard, or any individual Submission, will remain publicly visible beyond the minimum retention period set out in our Privacy Policy.

6. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• Use the Service for any fraudulent, deceptive, or unlawful purpose;
• Attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with security or access-control features of the Service;
• Use bots, scrapers, or automated systems to interact with the Service except as expressly permitted;
• Attempt to break a block by means other than the prescribed payment process;
• Submit content that impersonates a third party or contains a third party's personal information without authorisation;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service;
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or any portion of it without our prior written consent.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, text, graphics, layout, branding, and the "Mystery Box" name and marks, is owned by the Company or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for User Submissions and except as expressly permitted by these Terms, you may not copy, modify, distribute, transmit, display, publish, or create derivative works of any part of the Service without our prior written consent.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company expressly disclaims all warranties and conditions, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, uninterrupted operation, security, or error-free function.

Without limiting the foregoing, we make no warranty that:

• the leaderboard will ever be completed, become public, or remain accessible;
• any Submission, including any name, city, or country displayed on the Service, is accurate or genuine;
• the Service will be available at any particular time or location; or
• defects or errors in the Service will be corrected.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company, its owners, directors, employees, affiliates, licensors, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall the Company's aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to the Company in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) one hundred United States Dollars (USD 100).

The limitations in this Section apply to the fullest extent permitted by law and survive any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its owners, directors, employees, affiliates, licensors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:

• your use of, or inability to use, the Service;
• your Submissions;
• your breach of these Terms or any representation or warranty made by you; or
• your violation of any applicable law or any right of any third party.

11. Modifications to the Service and the Terms

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you. We may also amend these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Service. The "Effective Date" at the top of these Terms will reflect the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Service after the Effective Date of any change constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice and without liability. Provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination — including, without limitation, Sections 3 (Payments), 4 (User Submissions), 5 (Public Display), 7 (Intellectual Property), 8 (Disclaimer), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), and 13 (Governing Law) — shall survive.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

13.1. These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates and the laws applicable in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

13.2. The courts of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.

14. Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms to the extent such failure or delay is caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, governmental action, labour disputes, internet or utility failures, or third-party service outages (including by Stripe).

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

16. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing.

17. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company concerning the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, or agreements, whether written or oral.
