This process serves as your gateway to engaging in our challenges, allowing you to exhibit your unique creations and compete for community votes.

Voting Phase: The voting phase of each challenge begins when it accumulates a specific number of registered images, typically 64 or, in the diamond league, 1024. At this point, all registered users can participate by voting for their favourite images. You can even invite your friends to join the app and cast votes for your images. Newly registered users can immediately start uploading their images and participating in challenges.

Public Gallery Usage

Accessing the Public Gallery: Begin by either tapping on the “Join a Challenge” button or selecting a room inside a Challenge with available space. Next, select an image from the public gallery by pressing the corresponding button. This action will bring you to a treasure trove of images, displayed in two columns with a search bar above them. Simply start typing letters, and the app will filter images based on your input, making it easier to find the perfect one.

Selecting and Using an Image:

1. Once an image catches your eye, tap on it.
2. You then have the option to rename it or keep the default name. Make your choice and press “Use this image” to proceed.
3. Depending on how you accessed this feature (via joining a Challenge or selecting a room), you’ll either complete a form or be registered immediately.
4. Your chosen image is then removed from the public gallery and added to your gallery to ensure exclusivity. The image will also appear in your personal gallery.

Image Ownership and Management:

• Images obtained from public galleries will be owned by the user who first uses them and can be reused infinitely or deleted.
• In Stroon, each user starts with a gallery of 6 slots. If you need more space, you can either delete an image from your gallery or buy additional gallery slots from our market.

Deleting Images:

• If you decide to delete an image, ensure to detach any keys or tie-breakers beforehand; otherwise, you will lose them.

Tie-Breaker System

Tie-Breakers: In the event of a draw, the image that received the first vote will advance to the next round, while the other image or images with the same number of votes will be eliminated and awarded a tie-breaker. Tie-Breaker grants the image an advantage in future draw situations, ensuring it is prioritized to proceed into the next round.

Stacking Tie-Breakers: Tie-breakers can stack. In a scenario where multiple images have the same number of tie-breakers(e.g., 1-1), the image that received the first vote will advance to the next round. The other images will be eliminated and receive an additional tie-breaker, thereby increasing their chances in future draw situations.

Exchange for Credits: Besides providing an advantage in tie situations, tie-breakers can be exchanged for credits. To compensate users who frequently get eliminated through this method, the exchange rates are as follows:

• 1 tie-breaker = 1 credit
• 2 tie-breakers = 2 credits
• 3 tie-breakers = 4 credits
• 4 tie-breakers = 8 credits
• 5 tie-breakers = 16 credits

We reserve the right to change the exchange rate at any time.

Note: A maximum of 5 tie-breakers can be stacked on one image.

Gold Key: In Iron challenges, users can earn gold keys. These keys not only serve as a testament to your achievements but also open doors to higher Gold tier challenges.

By winning Gold Keys on our platform, users agree to abide by these terms and conditions. Any violation of these terms may result in the suspension or termination of user accounts and privileges

Frames:

The ultimate victor of a Gold-type of Challenge will receive a Golden Frame as their prize, while the champion of a Diamond-type of Challenge will be granted a Diamond Frame. It is important to note that only one frame may be selected for an image, regardless of the number of victories. Furthermore, these Frames possess a unique feature: a dazzling shine that accumulates with each successive challenges triumph. This means that a frame can exhibit multiple and even distinct shines over time.

Payouts:

Payment Processors: We are currently in the process of integrating PayPal and other payment processors, including gift cards, which will be available once officially announced. In the testing phase, certain features may appear intermittently in the system, but users will not be able to use them.

Once these integrations, necessary licenses, and permissions are completed, the following terms will apply:

1. Real-World Monetary Rewards: Following the completion of the voting process and the determination of a winning entry from the images submitted to Gold and Diamond type of Challenge, the user who submitted the winning image (referred to as the “Challenge winner”) and eventually hers/his sponsor, will receive a specific amount stroon coins as specified by the app or the Challenge organizer.
2. User Payout Options: Our users can choose between receiving a Stroon coins payout or converting it into options like acquiring gift cards. We guarantee speedy issuance of these payouts, as long as users have current and valid payment information on record for payment receipt.
3. Minimum Payout: There is a minimum payout threshold per accounting period of either (i) ten U.S. Dollars (USD 10.00); or (ii) a minimum payout amount selected by the user, so long as the chosen amount is not less than ten U.S. Dollars (USD 10.00) (the “Payout Minimums”). If a user has not reached the Payout Minimum, the user cannot request a payout.
4. Termination and Refunds: If a user’s account is terminated due to a breach of the app’s terms, the app reserves the right to retain any outstanding payouts as liquidated damages.
5. Overpayments: If, for any reason, the app makes an overpayment to users, the app has the right to deduct the amount of the overpayment from future accrued payouts or demand immediate repayment of the overpaid amount.
6. Payment to Designated Accounts: Users must ensure that their designated payment processing service account is not shared with another user. The app’s obligation to make payments to users will be fulfilled by making payments to the payment processing service designated by the user.
7. Tax Responsibilities: Users are solely responsible for any tax obligations arising from receiving payouts. Depending on the tax laws in their country of residence, users may be required to report and pay taxes on the income received from payouts. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure compliance with their local tax regulations, Stroon ltd shall not be held liable for any tax-related issues.

This indemnification is applicable to any claims resulting from your actions or content on the stroon app that infringe upon the rights of others.

Governing Law

The laws of the Country, excluding its conflicts of law rules, shall govern these Terms and Your use of the Service. Your use of the application may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws.

Dispute Resolution:

Before considering formal legal action, we encourage you to attempt an informal resolution by contacting our support team at [email protected]. If a resolution isn’t reached within 10 days, either party may initiate legal proceedings. All legal matters regarding these Terms or our Services will be exclusively addressed in the federal courts of London, United Kingdom.

Mandatory Arbitration: We agree to resolve any claims arising from these Terms or our Services through binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, administered by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration location and language will be determined as needed. Some claims, like intellectual property disputes or emergencies, may not be subject to arbitration.

Arbitration Survival: This arbitration provision remains valid even after these Terms end.

Individual Claims: Claims must be brought individually, not as part of a class action. No consolidation or representative proceedings will be allowed. Both parties waive the right to a jury trial for arbitrable disputes under these Terms.

Complete Agreement

These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and stroon regarding the subject matter covered herein. They replace and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements or terms and conditions related to the same subject matter. These terms do not grant any rights to third parties.

Waiver, Severability, and Transferability

Stroon’s failure to enforce a provision does not mean they cannot enforce it later. If a provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the terms will remain in full effect, and an enforceable term will be substituted to reflect our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights under these terms, and any such attempt will be void. Stroon may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the services
