Service Description and Goat Tokens
The Service allows the creation and management of voting duels, participation in duels through votes (including paid votes), obtaining and using "Goat Tokens" or other internal virtual credits, and viewing leaderboards, statistics and real-time results.
Nature of Goat Tokens
Goat Tokens represent virtual units used exclusively within the Service. Unless otherwise stated, Goat Tokens do not represent electronic money, are not a recognized means of payment outside the Service and cannot be directly exchanged for money or other goods/services outside the platform. We reserve the right to modify how tokens work (e.g., internal exchange rate, granting method).
Purchases and Payments
In the future, you will be able to purchase tokens via third-party payment processors (e.g. Stripe, PayPal, Netopia). When this feature is active, prices and applicable fees will be clearly displayed before transaction confirmation. By completing an order, you confirm that you are the holder of the payment method used or have authorization for it.
Refunds
The refund policy is as follows: tokens consumed through votes or other actions are not refunded; refunds are only possible in case of proven technical error. We reserve the right to analyze each refund request and request additional information.
Voting and Competition Rules
To protect the integrity of campaigns:
Rules:
- Artificial manipulation of results through bots, multiple accounts or fraudulent transactions is prohibited

Moderation and Content Reporting
We reserve the right to remove or restrict access to Content that violates the law or these Terms, and to suspend or close accounts involved in serious or repeated violations.
