Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Cleero website, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

“Cleero,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to the operators of the Service. You can reach us at cleero.app@protonmail.com.

These Terms should be read together with our Privacy policy and our Responsible trading policy, both of which are incorporated by reference.

• You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.
• You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.
• The Service may not be available in every jurisdiction. You are responsible for ensuring your use of the Service is lawful where you are located.

Cleero lets users create personal-goal markets (for example: “I will run 100km by June 1”) and trade simulated YES/NO outcomes against other users. The Service is provided for entertainment, education, and personal-accountability purposes only.

• Play money only. The balances, stakes, orders, fills, profits, and losses displayed on Cleero are internal units with no cash or monetary value. They are not securities, derivatives, commodities, options, or legal tender.
• Not gambling. Because no real money is ever staked, won, lost, or paid out, the Service is not intended to constitute gambling, wagering, betting, a sweepstakes, or a contest of chance under the laws of any jurisdiction.
• Not a CFTC-regulated market. Cleero is not a designated contract market, swap execution facility, or any other entity registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission or any equivalent regulator.
• Not financial advice. Nothing on the Service constitutes investment, financial, legal, tax, or other professional advice.
• Preview / beta. The Service is offered in an early-preview form. Features, data, prices, balances, and rules may change without notice. Your account, markets, trades, and positions may be reset, adjusted, or migrated during development.

Cleero is a platform for user-generated content. Markets, market titles, descriptions, comments, outcome evidence, and profile content are created by users.

• You are solely responsible for the content you post and the markets you create. You represent that you have the right to post it and that it does not violate any law or any third party’s rights.
• You retain ownership of your content. By posting, you grant Cleero a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, display, and distribute it as necessary to operate and promote the Service.
• We do not pre-screen user content. We may, but are not required to, remove or edit any content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms, is unlawful, misleading, harmful, or otherwise objectionable.
• Market resolutions rely on the creator’s evidence or, for API-verified markets, on data returned by third-party providers (for example Strava, GitHub, YouTube). We do not guarantee the accuracy of third-party data or of user-submitted evidence.

You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
• Create or use more than one account per person, including to manipulate prices, inflate volume, split identity for referral rewards, or circumvent limits.
• Manipulate markets — including wash trading, spoofing, front-running, coordinated pumping or dumping, or artificially inflating volume or price.
• Create markets that are defamatory, harassing, threatening, hateful, or discriminatory.
• Post content that infringes any copyright, trademark, publicity right, or other intellectual property or privacy right.
• Scrape, harvest, or bulk-download data from the Service without our prior written consent, or attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or circumvent any security measure.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or the servers and networks connected to it, including via denial-of-service or flooding.
• Use the Service to collect information about other users for purposes unrelated to the Service.

When you connect a third-party account (for example Strava, GitHub, or YouTube) so Cleero can auto-resolve an API-verified market:

• You authorise Cleero to request and process the minimum data necessary to evaluate the relevant market (for example, activity totals or channel statistics).
• You may disconnect a provider at any time from your account settings.
• Your use of those third-party services remains governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Cleero is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or behaviour of third-party services.

The Service, including the Cleero name, logo, visual design, software, text, and underlying technology, is owned by Cleero and its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights granted in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service without our written permission.

• We may suspend or terminate your account, or restrict access to parts of the Service, at any time and for any reason, including if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms.
• You may delete your account at any time from your settings or by contacting us at cleero.app@protonmail.com.
• Because play balance has no cash value, termination does not entitle you to any refund, payment, or transfer of play balance, positions, or other in-Service items.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cleero disclaims all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, reliability, and freedom from errors or interruptions.

We do not warrant that markets will resolve correctly, that third-party data used in resolution will be accurate, or that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Cleero and its officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, reputation, or opportunity arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

In any case, our total aggregate liability for claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you have actually paid us for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim and (b) CHF 100. Because the Service is currently free and no real money is accepted, (a) is typically zero.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cleero and its officers, employees, and contractors from and against any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time. We may also update these Terms. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Service or by email. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the substantive laws of Switzerland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have under the laws of your place of residence.

• If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
• Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• These Terms (together with any policies referenced here) are the entire agreement between you and Cleero regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreement on the same subject.
• You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
