Terms of Service
Last updated: July 16, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Gig (“the Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform. These Terms apply to all users, including bounty creators, workers, and moderators.
2. Platform Overview
Gig is a non-custodial escrow platform built on Solana. Bounty creators deposit rewards into a program-owned escrow account. Workers submit work via on-chain submissions. Moderators review submissions and authorize payouts. The Platform does not hold private keys and cannot unilaterally release funds.
3. Wallet Authentication
Your Solana wallet serves as your identity on the Platform. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet and private keys. Any action signed by your wallet constitutes your authorization. The Platform is not liable for losses resulting from compromised wallets.
4. Bounty Creation
Creators must fund the escrow in full at the time of bounty creation. Rewards are released exclusively by the designated moderator upon approval. Creators may not withdraw funds unilaterally after a submission is accepted. All bounties must comply with applicable laws and must not facilitate illegal activity.
5. Submissions & Work
Workers retain ownership of their submitted work unless otherwise agreed. By submitting, you grant the bounty creator a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the work for the bounty’s purpose. You represent that your submission does not infringe third-party rights.
6. Moderator Role
Moderators act as independent reviewers. They evaluate submissions and decide whether to release rewards or reject work. Moderators must act in good faith. The Platform is not responsible for moderator decisions. Disputes may be resolved through on-chain governance mechanisms where available.
7. Fees
The Platform may charge a nominal protocol fee on bounty rewards. Any fees will be disclosed at the time of creation. Solana network transaction fees (gas) are borne by the user initiating each transaction.
8. Prohibited Conduct
Users may not: (a) use the Platform for illegal purposes; (b) submit malicious or fraudulent work; (c) attempt to manipulate the escrow program or exploit vulnerabilities; (d) impersonate others; (e) harass moderators or other users. Violations may result in permanent blacklisting from the Platform.
9. Disclaimers
The Platform is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. Smart contract risk, blockchain network congestion, and market volatility may affect reward values. The Platform is not responsible for losses due to smart contract bugs, network outages, or user error.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Platform and its contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform, including loss of funds, lost bounties, or missed opportunities.
11. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced through the Platform. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
12. Contact
For questions about these Terms, reach out on the Platform’s Discord or open an issue in the project repository.
These terms are provided as a template and do not constitute legal advice. Consult a qualified attorney for advice specific to your jurisdiction.
