• Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction to access or use the Service.
• Credential Safeguarding: You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, two-factor authentication tokens, and private messaging cryptographic keys. Any activity originating from your authenticated credentials is your legal responsibility.
• Device Security: You agree to maintain up-to-date operating system security and browser protections to safeguard local cryptographic keys from malware or unauthorized local access.

2. Permissible Use & Prohibited Conduct

Users and automated clients are strictly prohibited from engaging in any of the following activities:

• Market Manipulation: Orchestrating or promoting artificial price pumps, coordinated dumps, circulating fabricated financial news, or engaging in deceptive practices to manipulate asset pricing.
• Circumvention of Geo-Fencing: Using automated proxies, residential VPN swarms, or spoofed HTTP headers to evade an author's explicit geographic content restrictions or gated membership walls.
• Sybil & Automated Exploits: Deploying headless browsers, click-farming scripts, or automated viewing algorithms to artificially harvest Proof of Attention (PoA) rewards.
• Security Tampering: Attempting to compromise the HMAC signature hashes of internal ledger blocks, forge account balances, or execute injection attacks against platform endpoints.

3. Developer & OAuth 2.0 Integration Standards

Developers integrating their external websites, mobile apps, or web properties with the CoinBelieve OAuth 2.0 Identity Provider must adhere to strict operational standards:

• HTTPS Requirement: All registered callback and webhook URLs must utilize secure HTTPS transport. Plaintext HTTP endpoints are strictly prohibited in production.
• Confidentiality of Client Secrets: Developers must safeguard their issued client credentials. Client secrets must never be committed to public repositories or embedded in client-side code.
• Anti-Phishing & Brand Protection: Third-party applications must never use CoinBelieve's name, brand assets, or OAuth interface to conduct phishing, harvest user passwords, or deceive users regarding application ownership.
• Revocation & Enforcement: CoinBelieve reserves the right to immediately suspend or permanently revoke client credentials for any application that violates security standards or exhibits anomalous request patterns.

4. Intellectual Property & Content Licensing

Creator Ownership: Authors retain primary copyright over their original technical intelligence, commentary, charts, and multimedia publications.

License to CoinBelieve: By publishing content on the Service, you grant CoinBelieve an irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to host, cache, distribute, index, format, and translate your publication across all platform nodes and distribution channels.

Collaborative Works: Publications authored under joint co-authorship are governed by mutual consent. All authorized collaborators grant each other mutual publishing rights. Deactivation by one co-author does not obligate the platform to remove joint research unless mandated by valid legal decree.

5. End-to-End Encrypted Messaging Guidelines

Private messaging on CoinBelieve is provided as an end-to-end encrypted communication service:

• Zero Decryption Capability: Because private keys are stored solely on user devices, CoinBelieve cannot inspect, decrypt, or restore lost messages or recovered keys.
• Prohibited Payloads: Users are strictly prohibited from using private messaging to transmit illegal materials, coordinate financial fraud, distribute malware, or harass other community members.

6. Financial & Market Data Disclaimers

Third-party financial feeds may be subject to transmission latency, network disconnection, or market volatility. CoinBelieve accepts no liability for trading losses, capital depreciation, or missed market opportunities resulting from reliance on platform data.

7. Prediction Markets & Forecasting Pools Protocol

Community prediction markets on CoinBelieve are decentralized knowledge-aggregation protocols utilizing internal utility units (CBX). They are strictly NOT real-money gaming, sports wagering, or regulated financial derivatives. Wagers committed to an active market pool are final, irrevocable, and subject to a 2.0% protocol settlement fee.

8. Proof of Attention & CBX Unit of Account

CoinBelieve (CBX) is an internal utility accounting unit earned through verified human attention. CBX does not represent equity, debt, or a financial investment contract. Redemptions via the Proof-of-Burn portal require valid cryptographic burn transaction proof and minimum balance thresholds (5.0 CBX). Submitting fraudulent proofs results in immediate account forfeiture.

9. Creator Monetization & Revenue Share Terms

Monetized creators receive a 70% net revenue share of verified Google AdSense impressions generated across their research. Payments operate under a Net-30 schedule ($50.00 USD minimum) and are subject to Google's final monthly invalid traffic deduction audit.

10. Limitation of Liability & Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COINBELIEVE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

11. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
