Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") set out the conditions of use of the Baro website and related services (the "Service") operated by Notch Ventures Pte. Ltd. (the "Company"), together with the rights, obligations, and scope of liability between the Company and users. The Service includes intelligence, rankings, and trend information derived from public Telegram channel data, browsing and participating in quests and campaigns, Telegram login, profile and wallet address registration, quest completion verification, reward claims, and related features.

By accessing the Service, logging in with Telegram, connecting a wallet, or participating in a quest, you are deemed to have agreed to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. Where a quest or campaign screen displays separate participation rules, periods, reward conditions, or restrictions (the "Specific Rules"), the Specific Rules prevail over these Terms for that quest or campaign, except where they conflict with mandatory law or the Privacy Policy.

1. You must have the legal capacity to enter into a contract in your place of residence and must, as a rule, be at least 19 years old. The Company may restrict use by anyone it reasonably suspects to be under 19.
2. You must use only your own Telegram account and wallet, and must not use another person's account, wallet, or identifying information without authorization.
3. You are responsible for safeguarding your login methods, devices, third-party service accounts, and wallets. The Company will never request or store your private keys, seed phrases, wallet passwords, exchange passwords, or two-factor authentication codes.
4. If you discover account takeover, wallet loss, phishing, or suspicious activity, report it immediately to the relevant third-party provider and notify the Company.

1. Before participating, you should review each quest's eligibility, method of completion, period, verification approach, reward conditions, and restrictions.
2. The Company or the campaign organizer may confirm quest completion through submitted materials, public on-chain data, public information from third-party services, automated verification, and manual review where necessary.
3. In the early stages of the Service, quest verification may include manual review by an operator. Verification results, rankings, scores, participation records, and reward status may change as information is updated, errors are corrected, or abuse is identified.
4. If you disagree with a verification result or a reward being withheld, you may request a review at contact@notch.ventures within 14 days of seeing the result. The Company will check the matter to a reasonable extent and inform you of the outcome.

1. Rewards may be provided only where every condition in the Specific Rules is met, and may be subject to the stated period, quantity, budget, stock, network support, legal restrictions, and abuse review.
2. The Company will endeavor to state the reward provider and reward conditions clearly on the quest screen or in the Specific Rules. Where the Specific Rules do not name the Company as the reward provider, the campaign organizer or the relevant third party is the reward provider. Except where the Company has expressly undertaken to pay a reward directly, it does not guarantee a third party's performance of rewards.
3. Rewards are not cash, fiat currency, investment products, or refundable monetary claims. No guarantee is given as to the value, liquidity, listing, transferability, usability, or tax consequences of testnet assets, tokens, NFTs, SBTs, points, or other digital rewards.
4. The Company may modify, suspend, withhold, or cancel quests and rewards where there is a reasonable cause, such as security issues, errors, fraud or abuse, requirements of law or a supervisory authority, or a campaign organizer's failure to deposit funds or material breach of the rules. Where a change is required that disadvantages users whose eligibility for a reward has already been confirmed, the Company will, so far as possible, communicate the reason and its impact.
5. Before receiving a reward, you must check the wallet address, network, claim conditions, and any required gas fees yourself. Where you fail to receive a reward because you entered an incorrect address, network, or account, or lost your private key or wallet, the Company bears no liability absent its willful misconduct or gross negligence.
6. Taxes, filings, and other legal obligations relating to your receipt of rewards are your responsibility. The Service does not provide investment, financial, legal, or tax advice.

1. Baro does not hold, take custody of, trade, or exchange your assets, and does not manage wallets on your behalf. Connecting a wallet is your own choice and action, and the Company does not access your private keys or seed phrase.
2. Baro's reward features may currently be provided on networks shown in the Service, such as the GIWA testnet. Testnet assets may have no substantive value or ability to be cashed out, and network specifications and support may change.
3. Blockchain transactions and token or SBT issuance are recorded on a public ledger and, once finalized, may be impossible or difficult to cancel, modify, or delete. You must not enter personal or sensitive information into on-chain memos, metadata, or submissions.
4. Delays, failures, or losses arising from blockchain network congestion, forks, reorganizations, fee changes, smart contract vulnerabilities, RPC outages, or errors and policy changes at third-party wallets may be outside the Company's control. Absent willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Company bears no liability for these to the extent permitted by law.

You must not engage in any of the following:

1. Improperly obtaining rewards, scores, or benefits through multiple accounts, another person's account or wallet, bots, macros, scripts, Sybil attacks, or other circumvention methods
2. Probing, circumventing, or disrupting the Service, its APIs, verification systems, security measures, or access controls without authorization
3. Impersonating others, or infringing another person's personal data, wallet, copyright, trademark, or other rights
4. Posting or transmitting phishing links, malicious code, false or deceptive information, or illegal content
5. Money laundering, fraud, sanctions evasion, illicit financing, financial crime, or any other conduct that violates or risks violating applicable law
6. Causing harm to the Service, campaign organizers, other users, or third parties, or interfering with the normal operation of the Service

Where there is a violation or a reasonable suspicion of one, the Company may request an explanation to the extent necessary and may invalidate quests, withhold or cancel rewards, restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts, or take other necessary measures. Where the matter is urgent for security reasons or evidence may be destroyed, the Company may act without prior notice and provide an explanation afterwards so far as possible.

1. The Company may change, add, restrict, or discontinue features, supported networks, quests, or available regions in order to maintain stability, security, and legal compliance, or to improve the Service.
2. Where a material change to or discontinuation of the Service is planned, the Company will give notice a reasonable period in advance through in-service announcements or available contact methods. Where advance notice is impractical — for example due to security vulnerabilities, abuse, urgent outages, compliance with law or sanctions, or an emergency shutdown of third-party infrastructure — the Company may act first and inform users afterwards.
3. Where the Service is delayed, suspended, or rendered impossible to perform due to natural disaster, war or terrorism, epidemic, action by a government or supervisory authority, changes in law or sanctions, failures of communications, power, cloud, or blockchain networks, a large-scale security incident, or any other cause beyond the Company's reasonable control, the Company bears no liability to the extent permitted by law. The Company will work to limit the impact on users and restore the Service so far as possible.

The Service may link to content and services provided by Telegram, third-party wallets, blockchain networks, RPC providers, block explorers, or campaign organizers. These external services operate independently under each provider's own terms and privacy policy.

The Company does not guarantee the accuracy, legality, security, availability, or continuity of third-party services or content, or the fulfillment of their rewards. Displaying an external service or content in the Service does not mean the Company recommends, endorses, or controls it.

Data, mindshare, rankings, metrics, summaries, and analysis of public Telegram channels and posts shown in the Service are informational outputs based on publicly available information. That information may be delayed or change depending on the time of collection, the state of the external platform, the calculation method, or data corrections, and must not be construed as investment, financial, legal, or tax advice, or as a recommendation or endorsement of any particular asset, project, or channel. Channel operators or rights holders may contact contact@notch.ventures to report an error in, or a possible infringement relating to, their public information, and the Company will review the matter to a reasonable extent.

Intellectual property rights in the Service's software, design, logos, trademarks, text, databases, statistics, and other content belong to the Company or the respective rights holders. You may not copy, distribute, modify, commercially exploit, or bulk-extract them without the Company's prior written consent.

Rights in the links, screenshots, text, or other materials you submit for quest verification remain with you or the respective rights holder. You do, however, grant the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license to store, reproduce, and review those materials to the extent necessary for quest verification, abuse prevention, customer support and dispute handling, and operation of the Service.

The Company processes your personal data in accordance with applicable law and the Baro Privacy Policy. Collection and use, retention and destruction, cross-border transfers, your rights, and how to contact the Company are governed by the Privacy Policy.

1. To the extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available." The Company does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose, or that all information, verification results, and external data are complete, accurate, and current.
2. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company is not liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages, lost profits or opportunities, data loss, or damages arising from changes in the value of digital assets resulting from use of or inability to use the Service.
3. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company's total liability will not exceed the greater of the amount you actually paid the Company in the six months before the cause of the claim arose, or one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).
4. This Article does not apply to the Company's willful misconduct or gross negligence, fraud, death or personal injury, or any liability that may not be limited or excluded by law.

Where you breach these Terms, commit an unlawful act, improperly receive a reward, or infringe a third party's rights, and this results in third-party claims, damages, penalties, or reasonable defense costs for the Company or its officers and employees, you must compensate the resulting damages to the extent of your responsibility and as permitted by law. The Company will notify you of such a claim within a reasonable period and may, where necessary, control the defense or settlement process.

1. You may request account deletion or termination of your use of the Service at any time at contact@notch.ventures. On-chain information already recorded on a public blockchain may not be deletable or modifiable due to the nature of the technology.
2. The Company may terminate your service agreement or restrict the Service where you materially breach these Terms, or where this is necessary for security, legal compliance, or the protection of third-party rights.
3. Where the Company changes these Terms, it will announce the changes, the effective date, and the reason from seven days before the effective date. Changes that are disadvantageous to users or otherwise material will, as a rule, be announced 30 days before the effective date, together with notice that you may terminate your service agreement if you do not accept them. Where separate consent is required by law, the Company will obtain your consent.

1. Singapore law applies to these Terms and to disputes concerning use of the Service. This does not exclude mandatory rules — such as consumer protection and data protection laws — that apply in your place of residence or to your transaction.
2. If a dispute arises, the Company and the user will first try in good faith to resolve it through discussion. Disputes not resolved through discussion may be brought before the competent courts of Singapore, unless applicable law grants you a different forum or remedy.
3. If any part of these Terms is held invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. The Company's failure to exercise a right under these Terms immediately does not constitute a waiver of that right.
