9. Account
9.1 Account Creation
In order to create an account and use QUDO services, you must comply with the points mentioned in
section 2 and the points mentioned below and be responsible for all use of the account created in
compliance with these Terms, including all purchases associated with that account, as well:
9.1.1 You must not create an account or use any of the QUDO services and features on
behalf of any other person or legal entity.
9.1.2 If you surpass 5 successful account creations within 24 hours under the same IP
address, your IP address will be temporarily suspended until we investigate the situation.
9.1.3 You may only create, own or control one account, unless you are a game developer,
in which case you can also have a player account but not a service provider account. If you still
believe your case can represent an exception to this, you can request an additional account
through our support contact at
qudo.support@blockbastards.io.
9.1.4 We are under no obligation to approve any additional account. If we find out that you
have opened or operated (in the past or present) an additional account without our permission, we
reserve all rights, including but not limited to, terminating all your accounts, revoking your limited
license to use the platform and collect your stake as game developer or service provider (if applicable)
and taking whatever other means we find necessary to protect our users, us and the platform.
9.1.5 Given its decentralized nature, the use of QUDO products is at your sole risk and we assume
no responsibility for your transactions of funds, the actions or identity of any transfer recipient or
sender. If any third party files a claim for a chargeback or we are otherwise informed of a dispute
between you and another party, we are not responsible for intermediating, determining the veracity of
claims or resolving the dispute. Issues between QUDO users should be resolved between themselves only.
9.1.6 When you create a QUDO account you will be awarded with a
Telos
wallet (if you don’t already have one) that will provide you the access to QUDO rewards. Keep
in mind that the cost of each Telos wallet might change in the future. This Telos wallet will give
you the means to manage your QUDO tokens, so we need to ensure that you are only using one Telos
wallet. Therefore, we will need to confirm your account with your phone.
9.1.7 We highly recommend that you assume control of your wallet and save your keys in a safe
place right after you register (instructions soon). Otherwise, this wallet will be under the supervision
of Block Bastards until you decide to assume control of it or until you reach the maximum number of QUDO
coins allowed under the supervision of Block Bastards (maximum per player: 500 QUDO, maximum per
developer: 1500 QUDO, maximum per service provider: 1500 QUDO), causing your account to be disabled
until you take over control. Beware that Block Bastards is not responsible for any loss of QUDO coins
and system hacks while under the Block Bastards’ supervision. However, Block Bastards will implement
security measures to avoid this from happening.
9.1.8 Once you are exclusively responsible for your own wallet, it will not be possible to
recover the keys if you forget them, since Block Bastards will no longer save such information.
We advise you to save your keys in a format and/or location that prevents fraud, damage or other
form of data loss, if this is your case.
9.1.9 We recommend that you don’t sell, transfer or allow any other person to access your
account or login credentials, or offer to do so, since we won't be able to help recovering QUDO
coins resulting from any theft or fraudulent activity under these circumstances.
9.2 Account Termination
You may terminate or suspend your account at any time by contacting us at
qudo.support@blockbastards.io.
We may terminate or suspend your account without notifying you, if we reasonably determine that:
9.2.1 You have breached any part of these Terms.
9.2.2 We have stopped offering our products or services in your region (though we will
normally post advance notice on our website and/or game if we plan to stop offering a core feature
of our services in your region).
If your account registers no activity for 3 years, we reserve the right to take the according measures,
including suspension or termination with proper notice (informing you by email prior to our final action).
Note: In any case, the TELOS wallet originally created for you and the QUDO tokens present in it will
remain yours, assuming you took or take control of the account keys before the termination. Only your
QUDO registration as an off-chain user of the QUDO platform can be deleted. Again, the on-chain part,
the tokens you have in your wallet will remain there, as long as your wallet is not under the supervision
of Block Bastards by the time of termination, in which case we will burn the tokens or move them into an
savings account to be used in marketing activities and airdrops (still to be defined at the time of
this writing).
10. QUDO Network
10.1 Rewarding Model
Each minute, 2048 QUDO tokens are generated and distributed in the following way: 9% for all active
games, 75% for all active players, 8% for the founders (Block Bastards), 2% for the selected
founding partners and 6% for the stakeholders.
10.2 QUDO Rewards
10.2.1 QUDO constantly measures players activity and games being played, rewarding every
minute the active players and respective games for this activity (game time). If you're a player,
in order to get these tokens, you need to confirm your interest in receiving them via the QUDO
dashboard or in-game SDK - otherwise, they will not be deposited in your wallet.). Users need to
grab these tokens; otherwise, they will expire and won’t be issued. We use this method to avoid
issuing coins that eventually won’t be used by users who don’t understand or value the QUDO token.
Therefore, after one year, the possibility of grabbing these tokens will be cancelled and the user
will lose the right to these tokens.
10.2.2 Players can also be given performance rewards (Achievement or Highscore rewards),
but these are the responsibility of the game developers and it will work as a peer-to-peer
(P2P) QUDO coins transfer from the game’s account to the player’s account.
10.2.3 The use or intention to use bots in order to simulate gameplay activity is strictly
forbidden and, in case of any suspect of such kind of action, the account will be automatically
blacklisted until further investigation. The user will have the possibility to explain or argue
this accusation. However, if we do not receive an explanation under 15 days or consider the explanation
invalid, the account will remain inactive and it will be eventually deleted after 1 year. The
deleted account tokens will be burned or converted into additional rewards to share within the community.
10.3 Adhering Services
Qudo promotes a list of Service Providers for the Gaming Industry, which will be available to the
adhering Game Developers and will offer their services in exchange for QUDO tokens as means of payment.
These are curated services by BlockBastards and should represent a way to improve adhering
Game Developers' games without them needing to use FIAT currency, or more specifically, using
QUDO crypto currency earned on the platform.
10.3.1 We don’t collect any commission from the services acquired inside the QUDO platform
nor we assume any responsibility for the success or failure of delivering these services. Nonetheless,
we will do our due diligence regarding the service quality and applicability on our dashboard.
10.3.2 Service providers that use our platform to establish contact with potential
developers (clients) and then sell them their services outside the QUDO platform without using
QUDO as currency will be banned from the platform and their stake will be lost, but not before
having the right to clarify the event to the QUDO platform management team.
10.4 Games & Game Developers
QUDO powered games will be promoted on the QUDO dashboard for the QUDO community to be aware of the
games where they can earn and spend QUDO tokens. We are not a marketplace. Instead, we list the
marketplaces and alternative means of downloading and/or playing these games, also providing
information about the games (filled in by the respective developers) and creating a vibrant and
engaged community via challenges and results in terms of rewards collected.
10.4.1 Similar to the section 10.3.1, we don’t assume responsibility for any defective
games or malicious in-game actions towards players.
10.4.2 Game developers who acquire services under the conditions mentioned in the section
10.3.2 will eventually be banned and lose their stake, but not before having the right to clarify
the event to the QUDO platform management team.
10.4.3 We are not liable for the eventuality of marketplaces banning QUDO and its adhering games.
Nonetheless, we will perform all the necessary actions to be compliant with the main marketplaces and,
in case of a game being banned from its marketplace, we will provide assistance in the best way we can.
10.4.4 In such an event, which we don't control, the studio/developer responsible for the
affected game should temporarily disable the QUDO integration in the game version available for the
specific platform/marketplace causing the problem until we help solve this situation. Other versions
for other marketplaces should keep the QUDO integration and the respective rewards will continue being
deposited on that game's wallet
11. Third Party Services and Applications
We may contract third party services to collaborate with QUDO, in order to improve the quality of
our products and maintain a secure environment for all users. However, if you authorize a third-party
application to connect to your account, you assume all risks associated with those connections and actions.
12. Electronic Communications
12.1 We may be required to provide you with certain periodic legal statements and other types
of communications to you in a written form. Pursuant to these T&C, we will deliver such communications
to you in electronic form.
12.2 By agreeing to these terms, you agree to receive all our communications regarding the access
and use of QUDO electronically, either by email, text messaging, “in-app” messaging or by posting a
communication on the QUDO platform.
12.3 You are responsible for opening and reviewing all communications that we deliver to
you through the methods described above (section 12.2).
13. Taxes
13.1 Depending on where you live, you may or may not have to pay taxes in addition to the
eventual fees for acquiring one or more services/products from Block Bastards. By making
any purchase using QUDO, you agree that you are aware of the taxes in your country/area and
will pay them in full.
13.2 Additionally, although QUDO is a free-to-use product, eventual in-app purchases (IAP) or
QUDO tokens purchase may include taxes to third-party marketplaces that require a certain percentage
from any purchase. As a result, whenever you, as a player, make an asset/product/service purchase,
the value taken from your wallet/account may not be the same as the value received by the game's wallet,
due to eventual applicable marketplace fees, which are not fees associated with QUDO. Again, QUDO is
free to use and we take no royalties from purchases between its stakeholders. These marketplaces fees
allow games to be available in the main marketplaces. However, we cannot ensure that the games are 100%
protected from a possible marketplace ban, since we do not control the marketplaces decisions.
Nonetheless, we will perform all the necessary actions to be compliant with the main marketplaces and,
in case of a game being banned from its marketplace, we will provide assistance in the best way we can.
13.3 You agree that you will take all responsibility for determining any tax implications
associated with the use of QUDO in your country as well as consulting an accountant, lawyer or
tax authorities in your jurisdiction to determine any tax consequences.
14. Hyperlinks
Our QUDO Product platforms, including websites, SDK, etc, contain hyperlinks to other websites. We
do not control those websites and we are not responsible for their content. By including these links,
we are not endorsing the material on those websites or implying any association with their operators.
15. Contact Us
