1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

1.1 These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”) and Reward.Farm (“Reward.Farm”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a company [incorporated under the laws of [TBD]] with registered address at [TBD].

1.2 By accessing or using the Reward.Farm platform, website, or any related services (collectively, the “Platform”), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety.

1.3 If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately stop using the Platform.

1.4 These Terms apply to all Users of the Platform, including users who browse without registering, registered Farmers, registered Architects, and administrators.

1.5 Additional policies incorporated by reference into these Terms include our Privacy Policy and our Content Policy.

1bis. CONTRACTUAL STRUCTURE

This section governs the interpretation of every other provision of these Terms. Where any other section could be read as inconsistent with it, this section prevails.

1bis.1 Reward.Farm contracts as principal. Reward.Farm is not an intermediary, broker, agent, or payment service provider. It does not transmit funds between Users and it does not hold funds on behalf of any User.

1bis.2 Two separate contracts. Each completed Reward gives rise to two distinct and independent contracts:

There is no contract between the Architect and the Farmer. Neither may claim against the other under these Terms.

1bis.3 Consequence for sums paid by Architects. All sums paid by an Architect to Reward.Farm are paid to Reward.Farm for its own account, as prepayment for services ordered. They become the property of Reward.Farm on receipt. They are not held in trust, in escrow, or on behalf of any Farmer, and no Farmer acquires any right over them.

1bis.4 Consequence for sums owed to Farmers. The Farmer Fee is a commercial debt owed by Reward.Farm to the Farmer under the contract described in 1bis.2. A Farmer’s displayed balance represents amounts owed by Reward.Farm, not money belonging to the Farmer that Reward.Farm is keeping. The Farmer is an unsecured trade creditor of Reward.Farm for that amount.

1bis.5 Consequence for responsibility. Because Reward.Farm contracts as principal, it is Reward.Farm, and not the Farmer, that owes the Architect the delivery of the ordered result. Reward.Farm’s liability in this respect is limited as set out in Section 16.

1bis.6 Terminology. Any reference in the Platform interface, marketing material, or earlier versions of these Terms to funds being “held in escrow”, “held for you”, or similar, is to be read as referring solely to Reward.Farm’s contractual undertaking to allocate prepaid amounts to the corresponding Rewards. It does not describe, and must not be construed as creating, any trust, fiduciary duty, or holding of third-party funds.

2. DEFINITIONS

“Architect” means a User (individual, company, or other legal entity) who orders one or more Rewards from Reward.Farm and pays the corresponding Reward Price.

“Application” means a Farmer’s request to participate in a specific Reward, submitted through the Platform prior to receiving approval from the Architect.

“Auto-Approval” means the automatic approval of a Submission that occurs when an Architect fails to respond within the 48-hour Review Window.

“Bonus Step” means an optional additional task attached to a Reward, separate from the Base Checklist, which a Farmer may complete for additional compensation beyond the Base Reward.

“Prepaid Balance” means the amount an Architect has paid to Reward.Farm in advance, recorded in the Architect’s account and usable exclusively to order Rewards. The Prepaid Balance is a record of Reward.Farm’s contractual obligation to supply services, not a deposit of the Architect’s money.

“Checklist” means the ordered list of specific, mandatory tasks comprising a Reward, as defined by the Architect at the time of Reward creation and accepted by the Farmer upon Application approval. The Checklist is the sole reference document in any dispute.

“Completion” means the event occurring when an Architect approves a Farmer’s Submission, or when Auto-Approval is triggered, confirming that all Checklist steps have been satisfactorily fulfilled.

“Committed Amount” means the portion of an Architect’s Prepaid Balance allocated to a published Reward and therefore no longer available to order other Rewards. Commitment is an internal allocation by Reward.Farm; it does not segregate, ring-fence, or hold any funds on behalf of any person.

“Farmer Fee” means the amount Reward.Farm owes a Farmer for a completed task, equal to the Reward Price less the Platform Commission.

“Farmer” means a registered User engaged by Reward.Farm as an independent supplier to perform Rewards in exchange for the Farmer Fee.

“Moderator” means a Reward.Farm staff member or designated agent responsible for adjudicating Disputes.

“Platform Commission” means the twenty percent (20%) of the Reward Price that Reward.Farm retains as its margin on the two contracts described in Section 1bis. It is the difference between what the Architect pays Reward.Farm and what Reward.Farm owes the Farmer.

“Service Fee” means the fee of five and one-half percent (5.5%) charged to the Architect on each payment made to Reward.Farm to increase their Prepaid Balance. The Service Fee is charged in addition to the credited amount and is non-refundable.

“Reward Price” means the amount an Architect agrees to pay Reward.Farm for the delivery of one completed Reward, comprising the Base Reward and, where applicable, the Bonus Step.

“Platform Credits” means non-redeemable, non-transferable credits denominated in USD held in an Architect’s Reward.Farm account, usable exclusively to fund future Rewards on the Platform.

“Reward” means a task or set of tasks published by an Architect on the Platform, carrying a defined compensation amount, Checklist, and eligibility criteria.

“Review Window” means the 48-hour period following a Farmer’s Proof Submission, during which the Architect may approve or reject the Submission.

“Submission” means the Farmer’s delivery of proof of Completion, including screenshots, URLs, recordings, or other evidence as required by the Checklist.

“Payment Processors” means the third-party providers used by Reward.Farm to collect payments from Architects (currently Stripe, Inc.) and to settle Farmer Fees (currently PayPal). Reward.Farm may change its Payment Processors at any time. Payment Processors act for Reward.Farm; they are not parties to any contract with Users under these Terms.

3. ELIGIBILITY & ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

3.1 Age Requirement

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account on the Platform. By registering, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. Reward.Farm reserves the right to request age verification at any time and to suspend accounts where this requirement is not met.

3.2 Account Accuracy

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep this information updated. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide.

3.3 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity occurring under your account. You must notify Reward.Farm immediately at [support email TBD] if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

3.4 One Account Per Person

Each individual may maintain only one Farmer account and one Architect account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, bans, or eligibility requirements is strictly prohibited and may result in permanent termination of all associated accounts.

3.5 Business Accounts

Architects registering on behalf of a legal entity represent and warrant that they have full authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3.6 Identity Verification

Reward.Farm may require identity verification at any time, including for tax compliance, fraud prevention, or payout eligibility purposes. Failure to complete verification when requested may result in account restriction or termination.

4. FARMER TERMS

4.1 Independent Contractor Status

Farmers are independent suppliers contracting with Reward.Farm on their own account. They are not employees, agents, partners, or representatives of Reward.Farm, and not of any Architect. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment relationship, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise.

A Farmer performs work for Reward.Farm, which has itself undertaken to deliver that result to an Architect. The Farmer has no contractual relationship with, and no claim against, the Architect.

Farmers are solely responsible for:

4.2 Tax Obligations

Farmers acknowledge that all earnings received through the Platform may constitute taxable income under applicable law. Reward.Farm is not responsible for calculating, withholding, or remitting any taxes on behalf of Farmers. Reward.Farm may issue tax reporting documents (including but not limited to IRS Form 1099 for US-based Farmers) as required by applicable law and may request tax identification information (W-9 or international equivalent) prior to processing payouts.

4.3 Farmer Level System

The Platform operates a progression system (“Farmer Levels”) based on activity milestones. Farmer Levels are a feature of the Platform and do not create any contractual rights. Reward.Farm reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Level system at any time without liability.

Higher Farmer Levels unlock access to Rewards with elevated eligibility requirements. Reward.Farm makes no guarantee regarding the availability or value of Rewards accessible at any Level.

4.4 Minimum Payout Threshold

The minimum amount Reward.Farm will settle in a single payment is $20.00 USD. Amounts owed below this threshold remain due and are carried forward until the threshold is reached, or until account termination, at which point Reward.Farm will apply its termination payment policy as set out in Section 18.

Reward.Farm may settle amounts owed at any time on its own initiative, including below the threshold, and will do so where a Farmer’s outstanding balance exceeds $200.00 USD.

4.5 Payout Method

Reward.Farm settles Farmer Fees by PayPal. Farmers must provide a valid PayPal account in a country served by PayPal, and are responsible for the accuracy of the address provided. Reward.Farm may offer or substitute other settlement methods at its discretion.

Settlement runs in a weekly batch. Amounts requested before the end of a given week are settled in the following week’s run. Reward.Farm is not responsible for delays or errors caused by a Payment Processor, by a Farmer’s payment provider, or by incorrect details supplied by the Farmer.

Where a payment is returned or rejected because of details supplied by the Farmer, any fee charged to Reward.Farm may be deducted from the amount owed.

4.6 Accuracy of Submissions

Farmers warrant that all Submissions are genuine, accurate, and directly performed by the Farmer themselves. Fabricating, manipulating, or misrepresenting Proof of Completion constitutes fraud and will result in immediate account termination and may be reported to relevant authorities.

5. ARCHITECT TERMS

5.1 Architect Account

Any registered User may publish Rewards as an Architect. By publishing a Reward, the Architect agrees to be bound by all obligations set out in these Terms regarding Reward creation, funding, review, and payment.

5.2 Manual Review Requirement for New Accounts

The first three (3) Rewards published by any Architect account are subject to mandatory review and approval by Reward.Farm’s moderation team before becoming visible on the Platform. This requirement may be waived at Reward.Farm’s sole discretion for accounts that have completed identity verification and meet additional eligibility criteria.

5.3 No Paid Exemption from Review

Reward.Farm does not sell any product, subscription, or badge that removes or shortens the manual review described in Section 5.2. The review applies to every Architect on the same terms.

5.4 Architect Responsibility

Architects are solely responsible for:

5.5 Prohibited Reward Categories

Architects may not publish Rewards that involve or facilitate:

Reward.Farm reserves the right to remove any Reward and suspend any Architect account for violation of this Section.

6. REWARD STRUCTURE & THE BINDING CHECKLIST

6.1 Reward Components

Each Reward consists of:

6.2 Checklist as Binding Agreement

Upon approval of a Farmer’s Application, the Checklist constitutes a binding agreement between the Architect and the Farmer. Both parties expressly acknowledge and agree that:

6.3 Checklist Clarity Obligation

Architects are responsible for ensuring that all Checklist steps are specific, measurable, and achievable. Vague or ambiguous Checklist steps will be interpreted against the Architect in any Dispute.

6.4 Eligibility Prerequisites

Architects may restrict Reward eligibility by setting prerequisites, which may include:

Eligibility prerequisites are evaluated at the time of Application. Meeting prerequisites does not guarantee Application approval.

7. APPLICATION & APPROVAL PROCESS

7.1 Application Submission

Farmers who meet a Reward’s eligibility prerequisites may submit an Application, including a written introduction and statement of suitability. Submission of an Application does not create any obligation on either party.

7.2 Architect’s Approval Discretion

Architects have sole discretion to approve or reject Applications, provided that rejection is not made on grounds prohibited by applicable anti-discrimination law.

7.3 No Work Before Approval

Farmers must not begin work on any Reward prior to receiving written approval of their Application through the Platform. Reward.Farm accepts no responsibility for work performed prior to approval and will not adjudicate Disputes arising from such work.

7.4 Slot Limits

Each Reward may have a defined number of approved Farmer slots. Once all slots are filled, no further Applications will be accepted.

8. PROOF SUBMISSION & VERIFICATION

8.1 Submission Requirements

Upon completing all Checklist steps, the Farmer must submit Proof of Completion through the Platform within any deadline specified in the Reward. Proof may include screenshots, screen recordings, URLs, confirmation codes, or other formats as specified in the Checklist.

8.2 Review Window

Following a Farmer’s Submission, the Architect has 48 hours (the “Review Window”) to:

8.3 Auto-Approval

If the Architect takes no action within the Review Window, the Submission is automatically approved and payout is triggered. Auto-Approval is final. Architects who rely on Auto-Approval waive any right to dispute the Submission. By ordering a Reward, the Architect acknowledges and agrees in advance that Auto-Approval discharges Reward.Farm’s obligation for that slot and makes the corresponding Farmer Fee due, irrevocably and without further notice, and that this is not contingent on the Architect having actually reviewed the Submission. It is the Architect’s sole responsibility to review Submissions within the Review Window.

8.4 Rejection Standards

An Architect may only reject a Submission on the grounds that the Farmer has materially failed to fulfill one or more specific, clearly identified steps of the Checklist. Rejections based on subjective quality assessments not specified in the Checklist will not be upheld in Dispute proceedings.

8.5 Resubmission

Following a rejection, the Farmer may, within the time remaining before the Reward deadline, correct and resubmit their Submission. The 48-hour Review Window resets upon each resubmission.

9. PAYMENT, PREPAID BALANCES & PLATFORM COMMISSION

9.1 Prepaid Balance

Before ordering a Reward, an Architect must pay Reward.Farm an amount sufficient to cover the Reward Price for every slot offered. That payment increases the Architect’s Prepaid Balance.

Payment is made to Reward.Farm for its own account, as prepayment for services ordered, and becomes the property of Reward.Farm on receipt. It is not segregated, not held on trust, and not held on behalf of any Farmer. Recovery of unused Prepaid Balance is governed exclusively by Section 10.

9.2 Commitment

When a Reward is published, the corresponding Reward Price for each slot is marked as a Committed Amount and ceases to be available for other orders. Commitment is an accounting allocation within the Architect’s account. It creates no proprietary right for any person over any sum of money.

9.3 Order flow

  1. The Architect pays Reward.Farm, increasing their Prepaid Balance (Service Fee added at payment).
  2. The Architect orders a Reward; the Reward Price per slot becomes a Committed Amount.
  3. Reward.Farm engages a Farmer to perform the task.
  4. The Farmer performs the Checklist and submits Proof.
  5. The Architect confirms acceptance, or Auto-Approval is triggered under Section 8.3.
  6. Reward.Farm’s obligation to the Architect for that slot is discharged, and Reward.Farm becomes indebted to the Farmer for the Farmer Fee.
  7. Reward.Farm settles the Farmer Fee under Section 4.5.

Steps 6 and 7 are separate. Acceptance creates a debt; settlement discharges it. The Farmer’s right at step 6 is a right to be paid by Reward.Farm, not a right over any particular sum.

9.4 Platform Commission and Service Fee

Reward.Farm retains a Platform Commission of twenty percent (20%) of the Reward Price. The Farmer Fee is the remaining eighty percent (80%).

Reward.Farm additionally charges Architects a Service Fee of five and one-half percent (5.5%) on each payment increasing the Prepaid Balance. The Service Fee is displayed before payment is confirmed, is charged in addition to the credited amount, and is non-refundable once payment completes.

Both are Reward.Farm’s remuneration and are not refundable on the basis that a Reward was later cancelled, disputed, or unfilled, except as Section 10 provides.

9.5 Unfilled slots

Where a Reward closes with slots unfilled, no Farmer Fee is owed for those slots and no Platform Commission is earned on them. The corresponding Committed Amount is released back to the Architect’s Prepaid Balance and is then governed by Section 10.

9.6 Settlement timing

Farmer Fees are settled in the weekly batch described in Section 4.5. Reward.Farm may delay settlement of any individual amount where it has reasonable grounds to suspect fraud, multi-accounting, or breach of these Terms, for the time strictly necessary to investigate, and will inform the Farmer.

9.7 Currency

All amounts on the Platform are denominated in United States Dollars (USD) unless expressly stated otherwise. Where a payment or settlement is made in another currency, conversion is performed by the relevant Payment Processor at its own rate, and any conversion cost is borne by the party receiving or making that payment.

9.8 Taxes

Prices displayed to Architects are exclusive of any applicable VAT or equivalent turnover tax, which will be added where required. Reward.Farm invoices Architects for the services it supplies. Farmers are responsible for their own tax obligations under Section 4.2 and, where required, must provide valid tax information before Reward.Farm settles any amount.

10. BUDGET CANCELLATION, REFUNDS & PLATFORM CREDITS

10.1 Policy Rationale

Reward.Farm’s cancellation and refund policy is designed to prevent financial fraud, including money laundering, and to ensure the integrity of the Platform. Deposited funds are accepted for the sole purpose of funding Rewards and compensating Farmers.

10.2 No General Withdrawal Right

Amounts paid to Reward.Farm to increase a Prepaid Balance may not be withdrawn or transferred to any payment method other than the original payment source. There is no general right to recover prepaid amounts. Architects must treat every payment as committed to Platform use at the time it is made.

10.3 Cancellation Before 30 Days - Refund to Original Source

An Architect may request a refund of unused, uncommitted Prepaid Balance under the following cumulative conditions:

Where all conditions are met, Reward.Farm will process a refund to the exact original payment method (same card or bank account) within ten (10) business days. Stripe processing fees are non-refundable and will be deducted from the refund amount.

Refunds to a different payment method, different card, or different bank account are not permitted under any circumstances.

10.4 Platform Credits - All Other Cases

In all cases not meeting the conditions of Section 10.3, unused Prepaid Balance is converted to Platform Credits, credited to the Architect’s account, and governed as follows:

(a) Permitted use: Platform Credits may be used exclusively to fund future Rewards on the Platform.

(b) No monetary value: Platform Credits have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for money, transferred to another account, or exchanged for any other consideration.

(c) Expiration: Platform Credits expire 24 months from the date of issuance. Expired credits are forfeited without compensation. Reward.Farm will send a reminder notification to the Architect’s registered email address 30 days before any credit balance is scheduled to expire.

(d) Non-transferable: Platform Credits are personal to the Architect account and may not be sold, gifted, or transferred to any third party.

(e) FIFO application: When an Architect funds a Reward using a combination of Platform Credits and fresh deposits, credits are applied first (“first in, first out”).

10.5 Funds Allocated to Active Rewards

Any portion of an Architect’s Budget that has been allocated to an active Reward (i.e., a Reward for which at least one Farmer has received Application approval) is non-refundable and non-creditable until the Reward concludes. Upon conclusion:

10.6 Chargebacks & Payment Disputes

Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card issuer in respect of a deposit made to Reward.Farm is a violation of these Terms. Reward.Farm reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate the account of any Architect who initiates such a dispute, and to seek recovery of any disputed amounts, including legal fees and chargeback penalties.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1 Scope

A “Dispute” arises when an Architect rejects a Farmer’s Submission and the Farmer contests that rejection through the Platform’s dispute mechanism.

11.2 Dispute Window

A Farmer may open a Dispute within 48 hours of receiving a rejection notice from the Architect. Disputes submitted after this window will not be accepted.

11.3 Sole Reference Document

In all Disputes, the Checklist as it existed at the time of Application approval is the sole reference document. No external communications, verbal agreements, or implied expectations are considered.

11.4 Evidence Submission

Upon opening a Dispute, both parties have 48 hours to submit written evidence and documentation to the Moderator. Evidence submitted after this window may be disregarded at the Moderator’s discretion.

11.5 Moderator Decision

A Reward.Farm Moderator will review all submitted evidence and issue a final, binding decision within 48 hours of the evidence submission deadline. The Moderator’s decision is:

Reward.Farm reserves the right to assign any qualified individual as Moderator and to change Moderators without notice.

11.6 Outcomes

The Moderator may:

Nothing in this Section prevents either party from pursuing legal remedies through courts of competent jurisdiction. However, participation in the Platform’s internal Dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to initiating any legal proceedings arising from a Reward.

11.8 No Guarantee of Outcome

Reward.Farm does not guarantee any particular outcome in Dispute proceedings. Reward.Farm acts as a neutral facilitator and does not advocate for either Farmers or Architects.

13.3 Farmer-Created Content

Where a Reward requires a Farmer to create original content (e.g., UGC, photos, videos, written material), the Farmer warrants that they own all rights to that content, that it does not infringe third-party intellectual property, and that the Farmer has the right to grant the Architect any usage rights specified in the Reward’s Checklist.

13.4 Third-Party Rights

Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their activities on the Platform do not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.

14.4 Reward.Farm may share User data with third parties (including Stripe, fraud prevention services, and tax authorities) as required to operate the Platform and comply with applicable law.

15. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

15.1 THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

16. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
