TERMS OF SERVICE
Last Updated: June 25, 2026
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE PROPDAO PLATFORM, WEBSITE, APPLICATIONS, DASHBOARDS, TRADING EVALUATION PROGRAMS, OR ANY RELATED SERVICES (COLLECTIVELY, THE "SERVICES"), YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.
These Terms of Service ("Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Trader," "User," or "you") and ProDAO Finance, a sole proprietorship ("ProDAO Finance," "Company," "we," "our," or "us").
If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.
1. NATURE OF THE SERVICES
ProDAO Finance operates a proprietary trading evaluation platform designed to assess trading performance within simulated market environments.
The Services include access to evaluation programs, performance dashboards, analytics tools, trading interfaces, educational materials, and related infrastructure.
All trading activity conducted through evaluation accounts is simulated and does not involve real capital markets execution on behalf of the user.
Participation in the Services does not constitute, and should not be construed as:
a brokerage relationship;
an investment advisory relationship;
a fiduciary relationship;
an employment, partnership, or agency relationship;
a pooled investment vehicle, profit-sharing arrangement, or security of any kind; or
an offer to buy or sell securities, commodities, or financial instruments.
Any fee paid to access an evaluation program is paid solely as consideration for access to the evaluation environment and related software tools. It is not, and should not be understood as, an investment of capital in any enterprise managed by ProDAO Finance or any third party. Any payout described in Section 7 is discretionary compensation for demonstrated performance within a simulation, not a return on investment, dividend, or profit distribution.
ProDAO Finance Finance does not pool, commingle, or invest user fees on behalf of users, and the Services do not constitute a commodity pool or collective investment scheme. ProDAO Finance Finance does not act as a money transmitter, payment institution, or virtual asset service provider, and does not hold, custody, or control user funds or digital assets at any time.
Nothing within the Services constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
2. ELIGIBILITY
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that:
you are at least eighteen (18) years of age;
you have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements;
you are not a resident of, or located in any jurisdiction where use of the Services is prohibited by applicable law;
you are not named on any list of sanctioned persons maintained by OFAC, the UN, the EU, or any other applicable governmental authority, and are not otherwise subject to sanctions restricting your ability to use the Services; and
your use of the Services complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or refuse access to the Services to any person or in any jurisdiction at our discretion.
3. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND SECURITY
To access certain features of the Services, you may be required to create an account and connect a digital asset wallet.
You agree to provide accurate and complete information and to keep such information updated, and to notify us promptly at team@propdao.finance if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials, authentication methods, and wallet access. ProDAO Finance is not responsible for any loss resulting from unauthorized access, credential compromise, phishing, malware, or loss of wallet access. ProDAO Finance cannot recover private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials.
4. DIGITAL ASSET WALLETS
Certain features of the Services may require payment of evaluation fees via non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or similar self-custody tools integrated with Nowpayments). By connecting a wallet for payment purposes, you acknowledge that:
wallets are third-party tools not controlled by ProDAO Finance;
you retain full custody and control of your wallet and private keys at all times;
blockchain transactions are irreversible;
network fees may apply and are your responsibility;
ProDAO Finance does not hold, custody, or have access to any funds in your wallet;
you are solely responsible for the security of your wallet credentials; and
your wallet connection is used solely for payment processing and is not used for trading, data submission, or any other Services beyond Nowpayments integration.
You assume full responsibility for all blockchain interactions initiated through your wallet for payment purposes.
5. FEES AND PAYMENTS
Access to evaluation programs may require payment of a fee, as displayed at the time of purchase ("Evaluation Fee").
Evaluation Fees are processed through Nowpayments and except where required by applicable consumer protection law, are **non-refundable** once an evaluation has commenced, including in cases of evaluation failure.
Where required by applicable consumer protection law (including the EU Consumer Rights Directive), you may have a right to cancel within fourteen (14) days of purchase, provided the evaluation has not yet commenced. To request cancellation, contact team@propdao.finance with your account details and payment reference.
You are solely responsible for determining and reporting any tax obligations arising from fees you pay or payouts you receive. ProDAO Finance does not provide tax advice and may, where legally required, report payout information to applicable tax authorities.
6. EVALUATION PROGRAMS
The Services may include trading evaluation programs designed to measure performance under predefined conditions, which may include performance thresholds, drawdown limits, time constraints, and other metrics.
ProDAO Finance reserves the right to modify, suspend, or update evaluation structures, rules, scoring systems, or program requirements at any time; material changes will not be applied retroactively to invalidate the results of an evaluation already completed under prior rules.
Completion of an evaluation does not guarantee access to any further program, reward, payout, or continued participation. All determinations regarding evaluation outcomes are made solely by ProDAO Finance, acting reasonably and in good faith.
7. PAYOUTS AND PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION
ProDAO Finance may, at its sole discretion, offer payouts or other performance-based compensation to eligible users based on simulated trading results. All payouts are processed manually and may require additional verification. Payouts are a form of discretionary bonus compensation for performance â—— they are not earnings on an investment, profit-sharing, or a return generated by the efforts of ProDAO Finance or any third party.
All payouts are subject to internal review against the performance criteria, risk parameters, and program rules disclosed to you at the time you enrolled in the applicable evaluation, including performance validation, risk review, fraud detection, and operational assessment. Payouts may be delayed, adjusted, suspended, or denied only where ProDAO Finance reasonably determines, by reference to those disclosed criteria, that such action is necessary to protect the integrity of the Services or comply with legal or operational requirements. ProDAO Finance will provide a written reason, by reference to the applicable rule or criterion, for any denied or adjusted payout upon request.
No payout is earned until it has been explicitly approved and manually distributed by ProDAO Finance. ProDAO Finance will not exercise this discretion arbitrarily or in a manner inconsistent with the program rules disclosed to you.
**Dispute Window:** Users may challenge evaluation results or payout determinations by contacting team@propdao.finance with documentation supporting their dispute. All challenges must be filed within forty-eight (48) hours of the evaluation completion date or payout denial notice. Challenges filed after this deadline will not be reviewed.
8. RISK DISCLOSURE
You acknowledge and agree that participation in the Services involves significant risk, and that:
simulated trading environments do not reflect actual market execution conditions and may differ materially from real-world trading outcomes;
digital assets, blockchain systems, and cryptocurrency markets involve substantial volatility and technical risk, including market volatility, network disruptions, software bugs, smart contract failures, oracle errors, cybersecurity incidents, and regulatory changes; and
participation in the Services creates no entitlement or expectation of any payout or compensation, and may result in no compensation whatsoever.
This is not an investment product, and no level of skill or past performance guarantees future compensation.
9. PROHIBITED CONDUCT
You agree not to:
interfere with or disrupt the Services;
attempt unauthorized access to systems or accounts;
use automated systems without authorization;
exploit bugs or technical vulnerabilities;
engage in fraudulent, deceptive, or manipulative activity;
reverse engineer or copy the Platform; or
use the Services in violation of applicable law.
ProDAO Finance reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate action, including account suspension or termination, regarding any suspected misuse of the Services.
10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All content, software, designs, interfaces, systems, trademarks, branding, documentation, and materials within the Services are owned by or licensed to ProDAO Finance.
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for personal, non-commercial use. No ownership rights are transferred to you.
11. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
The Services may integrate with or rely on third-party providers, including blockchain networks, wallet providers, payment processors, analytics tools, and infrastructure services. ProDAO Finance does not control and is not responsible for third-party services, including their availability, security, or performance.
12. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
You consent to receive communications, disclosures, and notices from us electronically, including via email or through the Services. You agree that all such electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
13. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PROPDAO DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND AVAILABILITY.
PROPDAO DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PROPDAO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF DIGITAL ASSETS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL PROPDAO'S TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL EVALUATION FEES PAID BY YOU TO PROPDAO IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS (USD $100).
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
15. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ProDAO Finance and its affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, and partners from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, your violation of applicable law, or your infringement of any third-party rights.
16. TERMINATION
ProDAO Finance may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason including suspected abuse, risk management concerns, security issues, or operational requirements. Upon termination for breach of these Terms or violation of program rules, your account will be marked as suspended and rendered unusable, though historical data may be retained for compliance and dispute-resolution purposes. Upon termination, your right to access the Services ceases immediately. Any payout approved but not yet distributed prior to termination will be assessed in ProDAO Finance's discretion in light of the reason for termination.
Sections 1, 8â——10, and 13â——19 survive termination of this Agreement.
17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION
You agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting ProDAO Finance at team@propdao.finance and allowing thirty (30) days for resolution.
If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, seated in Chicago, Illinois, conducted in English. You waive the right to a jury trial.
This arbitration agreement does not apply to: (a) claims that may be brought in small-claims court; (b) claims for injunctive relief related to misuse of intellectual property or confidential information; or (c) claims where mandatory consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction (e.g., for EU/UK consumers) renders pre-dispute arbitration agreements unenforceable, in which case those claims will proceed in the courts identified in Section 19.
18. CLASS ACTION WAIVER
ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will instead proceed in the courts identified in Section 19, and the arbitration agreement will otherwise remain in effect for all other claims.
19. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 17, any claim not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
20. GENERAL PROVISIONS
**Force Majeure.** ProDAO Finance is not liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including network outages, blockchain congestion or failure, acts of government, or natural disasters.
**Assignment.** You may not assign or transfer this Agreement without our prior written consent. ProDAO Finance may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
**Severability.** If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
**No Waiver.** Our failure to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
**Entire Agreement.** This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between you and ProDAO Finance regarding the Services and supersedes all prior agreements.
**Notices.** We may provide notices to you via email, in-app notification, or posting on the Services. Notices to ProDAO Finance should be sent to team@propdao.finance or such other address as we may designate in writing.
**Time to File Claims.** Any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose, or be permanently barred, except where applicable law requires a longer period.
21. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
ProDAO Finance reserves the right to modify or update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated through the Services or by other reasonable means in advance of their effective date. Continued use of the Services after changes are published constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
