The Site does not itself execute blockchain transactions unless we explicitly add that functionality later. Onchain products have additional terms in Sections II and III.

4. No professional advice
Content on the Site is for general information only. It is not legal, tax, investment, environmental compliance, or other professional advice. Token, governance, and impact descriptions are not offers or solicitations to buy or sell any financial instrument.
5. Third-party links and services
The Site may link to GitHub, social platforms, donation or funding tools, block explorers, wallet providers, IPFS gateways, and deployed apps such as dapp.decleanup.net. We do not control those services; their terms and privacy practices apply when you use them.

Unless stated otherwise, DeCleanup Network or its licensors own Site content, branding, and materials. Open-source code is subject to the licenses in the applicable repositories. You may not use our marks or copy Site content for commercial purposes without permission, except as allowed by law or open-source licenses.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) USD $100 OR (B) AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN FEES IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.

How we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which also covers the Base and Celo applications operated by DeCleanup Network.

II. Base Application (DeCleanup Rewards on Base)
Applies to the DeCleanup Rewards application on Base, including the Farcaster Mini App and related web properties.
Section I applies to informational use of decleanup.net. This Section II governs your use of the Base Services. If there is a conflict, this section controls for those Services. Our smart contracts are upgradeable using the UUPS pattern to allow bug fixes, feature additions, and improvements while maintaining user data and balances.
1. Introduction
These Terms govern your access to and use of DeCleanup Rewards on Base, including the Farcaster Mini App at miniapp.decleanup.net. The Services enable users to document environmental cleanups, earn DCU points, claim $bDCU tokens, and participate in onchain verification and rewards. By using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
2. About the Services
DeCleanup Rewards on Base lets you: document cleanups through photo submissions; receive community verification; earn DCU points for cleanups, streaks, referrals, and verifications; claim $bDCU tokens; earn Impact Products (dynamic NFTs) representing verified environmental impact; stake $bDCU to become a verifier; and access the app via Farcaster Mini App, the Base app, or a standard web browser. $bDCU is the liquid action token for DeCleanup Rewards on Base, deployed via Clanker. Token prices are determined by market forces and are not guaranteed by us. DeCleanup Rewards operates independently and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in partnership with Base, Coinbase, Farcaster, or Clanker.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, have legal capacity to enter these Terms, not be located in a jurisdiction where use is prohibited, and comply with all applicable laws.
4. Wallets and wallet connection
To use certain features, you must connect a cryptocurrency wallet. You are responsible for your wallet security and private keys. We do not store, access, or control your wallet or private keys. You are solely responsible for all transactions initiated through your wallet. Transactions on Base are irreversible. Your wallet must be connected to the Base network. When using the Farcaster Mini App, your wallet may be connected automatically through the Farcaster or Base client.
5. Cleanup submissions
All submitted photos and information must be accurate and truthful. Submissions are subject to community verification. False or misleading submissions may result in rejection and suspension. Submitting a cleanup does not require a fee (submission fee is 0). A small claim fee may apply when claiming your Impact Product; the app shows the amount before you confirm. Photos are stored on IPFS and cannot be deleted once submitted.
6. DCU points and $bDCU token rewards
DCU pointsEarned for verified cleanups (10 pts), streak maintenance (1 pt), referrals (both parties get 3 pts each), verification activity (1 pt), and manual/retroactive rewards (variable). Points are tracked onchain and cannot be transferred. Claims require a minimum of 30 DCU points and Impact Product Level 3. Claim amounts are calculated based on accumulated points, current $bDCU market price, target reward value, and applicable multipliers. DCU points are not securities, investments, or financial instruments and carry no guaranteed value.
$bDCU tokensToken claims are irreversible onchain transactions. Claim amounts vary with token price. We do not guarantee any specific token value or USD equivalent. $bDCU tokens are cryptocurrency tokens whose prices are determined by market forces.
Impact Products (NFTs)Non-fungible tokens representing verified environmental cleanup activities. They are digital collectibles with no inherent monetary value, transferable under the ERC-721 standard, and evolve through 10 progressive levels (Newbie to Guardian).
7. Staking and verifier system
To become a verifier through staking, you must reach Impact Product Level 3 and stake at least 51% of your available $bDCU balance at the time of staking, maintaining that balance above 50% of the original stake. Verifiers can review and approve or reject submissions, earning 1 DCU per verification. Verifier status may also be granted manually by administrators. Verifier status may be revoked for fraudulent or manipulative behavior via slashing.
8. Fees
Submission fee is 0. A small claim fee may apply when claiming your Impact Product NFT; the app always displays the fee before you confirm. Fees are paid in ETH and are non-refundable. All onchain transactions also require network gas fees paid in ETH directly to the Base network.
9. User conduct
You agree not to submit false or fraudulent information; violate applicable laws; attempt to manipulate the verification, points, or rewards system; use bots or automated tools; interfere with the Services; infringe intellectual property rights; transmit malicious code; attempt to claim tokens or stake without meeting minimum requirements; or engage in wash trading or market manipulation of $bDCU.
10. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free service, accuracy of results, freedom from viruses, stability of token prices, or continued listing in Farcaster, Base, or other third-party directories.

You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including sanctions, anti-money laundering, tax reporting, environmental regulations, data protection, and privacy laws.
15. Modifications and termination
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services at any time; adjust DCU point values, multipliers, or reward structures; modify staking requirements or verifier criteria; and change fees with reasonable notice. We may terminate or suspend your access immediately for breach of these Terms. Upon termination, onchain assets (Impact Products, staked tokens) remain in your wallet according to contract terms.

You represent that you have the rights needed to grant this license.
7. Points, tokens, rewards, and governance
DCU and participation metrics recorded onchain are not necessarily cash, securities, or a promise of future value. $cDCU may be minted through ClaimVault according to rules you configure; amounts, caps, eligibility, and schedules can change and may differ between deployments.
