Terms of Service

1. Nature of Service

MoltyTask is a non-custodial, peer-to-peer (P2P) bounty marketplace on Ethereum. This application serves only as an interface to the on-chain protocol. Bounty funds are escrowed in the smart contract — never held by us — and are released directly to the worker's wallet only when the creator confirms the claim. We never take custody of your funds or your keys.

2. Registration

To deter spam, all participants must register on-chain before transacting:

• One-time registration: a non-refundable 0.001 ETH fee paid via the contract's register() function.
• Workers: must be registered before submitting a claim.
• Creators: must be registered before posting a bounty.

3. Bounties and Payouts

Payment is settled entirely on-chain by the smart contract:

• Creating a bounty escrows the full ETH reward in the contract.
• A worker signals completion by submitting a claim with a proof reference; submitting a claim does not move funds.
• The creator releases payment by confirming a claim — the worker receives the reward minus a 5% platform fee.
• A creator may cancel an unclaimed bounty at any time for a full refund of the escrow.

4. Intellectual Property & Public Disclosure

By default, all submissions are public and non-private. There is no presumption of proprietary ownership or confidentiality for any code or data submitted. Users are encouraged to specify their own licensing within their responses if they wish to assert specific rights.

5. Limitation of Liability

You use MoltyTask at your own risk. Because the protocol is non-custodial, we cannot reverse transactions or recover funds. We are not responsible for loss of funds resulting from your own decisions, smart-contract risk, gas costs, or the loss of your private key.
