IV. LEGAL DISCLAIMER
1. NATURE OF SERVICES
Vamble (“the Platform”) is a proprietary, international Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform operated by Vamble, Inc. (“Vamble”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). Vamble exclusively facilitates the virtual connection of individual users (“Users”, “Players”, “Participants”) at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority (whichever is greater) who voluntarily engage in peer-to-peer skill-based video game challenges (“Contests”). Vamble operates solely as a technology provider and neutral intermediary, facilitating Contests and operationally restricting and releasing funds through ledger-based controls.
Vamble does not:
- act as a trustee, custodian, fiduciary, or legal escrow agent, and does not hold User funds in trust.
- provide, offer, or promote any game, Contest, or activity determined by chance, luck, or random outcome.
- act as a bookmaker or house in any Contest or participate in any outcome.
- provide money transmission services to consumers as a standalone product; any movement of funds is incidental to facilitating Contest participation and Settlement through Vamble’s internal ledger and third-party payment processors, as described in the Wallet & Funds Terms.
- permit, encourage, or facilitate betting on events of chance or any illegal activity.
- offer wagering to minors or individuals under the legal wagering age in their jurisdiction.
2. NO GAMES OF CHANCE; GAMES OF SKILL ONLY
All challenges, Stakes, and Contests arranged through Vamble are strictly limited to games of skill, where the outcome is predominantly determined by the superior knowledge, training, attention, experience, and/or ability of the participating Players. Any activity or Contest with an outcome determined wholly or predominantly by chance is strictly prohibited and is not supported by Vamble. Users found to be violating this policy may be permanently banned and reported to relevant authorities.
3. VAMBLE AS TECHNOLOGY PROVIDER & NEUTRAL INTERMEDIARY
Vamble acts solely as:
- A neutral facilitator providing a virtual meeting ground and digital tools to Players who choose to compete against each other in skill-based video game Contests.
- A neutral intermediary that applies operational Settlement controls through its internal ledger to temporarily restrict and release User funds pending verification of skill-based Contest outcomes.
- Vamble does not participate in, influence, or profit from the outcome of any individual Contest beyond transaction or platform fees expressly disclosed to the user.
4. USE OF FUNDS
