These Terms and Conditions form a legally binding agreement between you and Burn Arena ("we", "us", "our"). Please read them carefully. By creating an account or using the Service, you confirm that you understand and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

The Service is a voluntary social and behavioral experiment platform in which users may choose to spend money to obtain non-redeemable digital tokens and intentionally destroy ("burn") them. No financial return, goods, or services are provided in exchange for burned tokens.

• Burn Action means a user-initiated action that permanently deletes Tokens from an Account.
• Purchase means a payment made through an approved payment processor to obtain Tokens.

2. Nature and Purpose of the Service

The Service is a social and behavioral experiment. It allows users to voluntarily purchase Tokens and intentionally destroy them through Burn Actions.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Tokens are not currency or e-money.
• Tokens cannot be redeemed or withdrawn.
• Tokens cannot be transferred or resold.

• Do not represent property rights.
• Do not earn interest.
• May be modified or discontinued at our discretion.

We reserve the right to correct technical errors affecting Token balances.

Service End Date and Forfeiture

The Service is a time-limited social experiment intended to operate only until January 1, 2027. This is not a guarantee that the Service will remain available until that date.

If the Service ends or is discontinued for any reason, any unburned Tokens and associated credit balances in your Account will be permanently forfeited and are not recoverable or refundable, except where required by law.

Technical Loss Disclaimer

Due to technical failures, software bugs, database errors, fraud prevention actions, or security events, Token balances may be lost, adjusted, or removed.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for Token loss except where required by consumer protection law.

Prices may change at any time before purchase confirmation.

7. Refunds and Consumer Rights
