Prop Challenge Agreement — Smart Scalping Life

Smart Scalping Life (scalping.life) Last updated: 1 May 2026 Effective from: 1 May 2026

Preamble

This Prop Challenge Agreement (the "Agreement", the "Challenge Agreement") governs your participation in the simulated trading-skill assessment programmes (the "Prop Challenge", a "Challenge", the "Programme") provided by Smart Scalping Life / ARTIO SSL (the "Operator").

This Agreement forms an integral part of the Terms of Use and is to be construed together with:

Risk Disclaimer;
Privacy Policy;
Refund Policy;
Prohibited Trading Practices;
Restricted Jurisdictions;
KYC/AML Policy;
Payouts Policy;
Pool Agreement (for Custom Pool participants — this Agreement applies in respect of any matter not inconsistent with the Pool Agreement).

By registering for a Challenge and/or paying an Entry Fee, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted all of the documents listed above in full.

If you do not agree with any provision — do not register and do not pay an Entry Fee.

1. Nature of a Challenge

1.1. Simulated assessment

A Prop Challenge is a programme of simulated assessment of trading skills conducted exclusively in the demo / testnet environment of certified trading infrastructures.

Express disclosure:

All trading accounts provided in the context of a Challenge are simulated (demo);
All balance amounts are virtual and have no real monetary value;
No real capital is placed by the Operator on the market on your behalf or for your account;
Any "profit", "loss", "margin" or "P&L" displayed within the Simulated Environment is a calculated performance metric, and not a real financial value.

1.2. The Funded Stage is also simulated

After successful completion of a Challenge, a participant proceeds to the so-called Funded Stage, which remains fully simulated. The Funded Stage is a structured performance-reward distribution programme based on metrics achieved in the Simulated Environment, and not a real trading account holding real capital. A participant does not own, and has never held, any proprietary right in:

any real trading positions;
any real trading accounts;
any real-world assets or capital;
any share in any pool of trading capital.

1.3. Not an investment product

Participation in a Challenge:

does not constitute the purchase of a security, a digital asset, a token, a fund interest or any other financial instrument;
does not constitute an investment, a deposit or a contribution to capital;
does not give rise to any proprietary right in respect of income from real trading;
is consideration for access to an educational and assessment-oriented simulated environment.

2. Challenge Programmes

2.1. Available Programmes

The Operator offers a number of Challenge Programmes of varying difficulty and parameter profiles. The current catalogue of Programmes, their conditions, parameters (including the size of the simulated account, targets, limits, fees) and availability is published on the /prop/programs page of the Platform and in the user dashboard at the time of registration.

The parameters of the Programme in force at the time of activation form an integral part of this Agreement for the relevant participant (see also Section 2.3).

2.2. Programme parameters

The specific numerical parameters of each Programme — including, without limitation:

size of the simulated account;
profit target;
daily drawdown limit and type (static / trailing);
maximum (global) drawdown limit and type;
minimum number of trading days;
minimum number of qualifying closed trades before completion;
maximum simultaneous open positions;
maximum single-position size as a percentage of equity;
minimum holding time per position;
daily profit ceiling (force-close on breach, no disqualification);
combined-capital cap across all active Challenges and Funded accounts;
reverse-trade restriction window on the same instrument;
single-trade profit-distribution cap as a percentage of cumulative profit;
single-best-day cap as a percentage of total profit at completion;
inactivity forfeit window (days without a closed trade);
behavioural pattern thresholds and payout-audit tiers;
mandatory stop-loss requirements (where applicable);
leverage cap;
permitted instruments and symbols;
restrictions during news events (where applicable);
profit-consistency rule (where applicable);
other parameters,

— are set out on the page of the relevant Programme and in the user dashboard at the time of registration, are summarised in user-facing form on the [Rules page](/prop/rules), and form a binding part of this Agreement for the relevant participant.

2.3. Changes to Programme parameters

The Operator may update Programme parameters. Such updates:

(a) shall not apply retroactively to participants who, at the time of publication, are already actively trading in the Simulated Environment — for them, the parameters in force at the time of activation shall continue to apply. The Operator implements this guarantee technically by snapshotting all rule values into each enrollment record at the moment of purchase and reading from that snapshot for the lifetime of the Challenge; (b) shall apply to new registrations as from publication; (c) may be applied to participants who have not yet commenced trading, with notice and a right to withdraw with refund of the Entry Fee.

2.4. Phase 1 / Phase 2

Some Programmes may include one or more assessment phases (Phase 1, Phase 2). Where multiple phases apply:

a participant proceeds automatically to the next phase upon achievement of the targets of the previous phase;
parameters (drawdown, profit target) may differ between phases;
failure to achieve the phase targets within the time-limit (where set) results in closure of the Challenge without progression.

3. Registration and activation of a Challenge

3.1. Stages of participation

Participation in a Challenge consists of a number of sequential stages:

(a) selection of a Programme and submission of the registration request; (b) payment of the Entry Fee; (c) connection of a compatible trading environment (demo / testnet); (d) activation of the Challenge and the start of trading in the Simulated Environment; (e) completion of one or more assessment phases (where applicable); (f) closing of the Challenge and progression to the Funded Stage.

The current stage of participation is shown in the user dashboard. At any stage, participation may be terminated on the grounds set out in Section 7 of this Agreement, or cancelled by the participant prior to the commencement of trading (with refund of the Entry Fee in accordance with the Refund Policy).

3.2. Payment of the Entry Fee

(a) The Entry Fee is paid in cryptocurrency: USDT or USDC on the BEP-20 or ERC-20 network; (b) the Programme price is denominated in US Dollars (USD); (c) the conversion and exact crypto-payment amount are displayed at the time the order is placed; (d) the Entry Fee is non-refundable once the participant has placed a first transaction in the Simulated Environment (see Refund Policy); (e) payment is treated as completed once the required number of confirmations has been received on-chain.

3.3. Promotional codes and discounts

The Operator may offer promotional codes and discounts:

Promo codes — applied at checkout and providing a fixed or percentage discount;
Re-registration discounts — automatic discounts for participants who previously did not pass a Challenge or who were disqualified, on re-registration (the level of any such discount is set by the Operator);
Seasonal promotions — limited-period campaigns.

3.4. Activation of trading

Activation of a Challenge takes place once the trading environment has been connected and the necessary checks have been completed. Activation marks the start of the running of the minimum-trading-days requirement (where set in the Programme parameters).

3.5. Use of the participant's own API keys

The participant supplies the API keys of his or her own demo / testnet account on a compatible exchange. The keys:

must carry read and trade permissions only — withdrawal permissions are prohibited;
are stored in encrypted form using contemporary industry-standard encryption;
are checked for indicators of duplicate participation in multiple parallel Challenges or Pools, in accordance with Section 7.6.

3.6. Subscription tier and limits

Access to a Challenge does not require an active Subscription. However, certain Programmes may be available only to participants on the Pro or Titan tier. The current access matrix is shown on the page of each Programme.

4. Trading rules within a Challenge

4.1. General rules

When trading within a Challenge, the participant undertakes:

(a) not to exceed the prescribed drawdown limits (daily DD, max DD); (b) to comply with the maximum leverage prescribed for each symbol; (c) to set a Stop-Loss on every open position within the prescribed time of opening, where the relevant Programme parameter so requires; (d) not to use instruments outside the permitted list of the Programme; (e) not to trade during periods restricted by the Programme (e.g. high-volatility news windows); (f) to comply with the Profit Consistency Rule, where applicable; (g) to fulfil the minimum number of trading days (where set) before any request for closing the Challenge; (h) not to engage in any of the practices listed in the Prohibited Trading Practices.

4.2. Stop-Loss requirement (where applicable)

For some Programmes, a mandatory Stop-Loss requirement may apply:

the SL must be set within the prescribed time after opening the position;
the SL distance may not exceed the prescribed maximum risk per trade (typically 2-3% of initial balance);
for Programmes under the rules effective from 1 June 2026 (and any later version), breach results in automatic disqualification with no warning buffer;
for Programmes operated under the legacy rules in force prior to 1 June 2026, a first breach attracts a WARNING and a repeated breach attracts DISQUALIFICATION — these legacy terms continue to apply to participants who enrolled before that date for the duration of their Challenge.

The specific conditions and timers are set out in the Programme parameters.

4.3. Drawdown limits

(a) Daily drawdown — the cap on drawdown over a single calendar trading day. Breach results in automatic disqualification with no warning buffer; (b) Max drawdown / global drawdown — the cap on overall drawdown from the starting balance (static) or from peak equity (trailing). Breach results in automatic disqualification with no warning buffer; (c) the type of drawdown (static / trailing) and the precise values are set out in the parameters of the relevant Programme; (d) drawdown is computed by reference to equity (balance + unrealised P&L), and not realised P&L alone; (e) account state is monitored on a continuous, automated basis.

4.3.1 Additional execution constraints (programmes effective from 2026-06)

For Challenge Programmes evaluated under the rules effective from 1 June 2026 (and any later version), the following execution constraints apply per Programme parameters:

(a) Minimum trading days — a Challenge is not eligible for completion unless the participant has traded on at least the prescribed minimum number of UTC calendar days (typically 7-21 days, depending on Programme); (b) Minimum number of trades — a Challenge is not eligible for completion unless the participant has placed at least the prescribed minimum number of qualifying closed trades (typically 10-50, depending on Programme); (c) Position size cap — no single open position may exceed a prescribed percentage of the participant's equity (typically 1.5-2 %); (d) Maximum concurrent positions — the number of simultaneously open positions may not exceed a prescribed limit (typically 3-7, depending on Programme); (e) Minimum holding time — a position closed faster than the prescribed minimum (typically 60 seconds from open) is treated as a breach; (f) Daily profit ceiling — the daily profit on the demo account is capped by an absolute USD amount scaled to the Programme size; excess profit triggers automatic position closure for the remainder of the UTC day, and the participant resumes trading the following UTC day with no penalty; (g) Reverse-trade window — opening a position in the opposite direction on the same instrument while a position is still open, within a prescribed number of seconds (typically 60), is treated as a breach (anti-arbitrage protection); (h) Best-day cap — at completion, a single best day may not represent more than the prescribed share (typically 50 %) of the total profit accumulated during the Challenge; (i) Single-trade profit cap — a single trade may not represent more than the prescribed share (typically 40 %) of the participant's cumulative profit during the Challenge; (j) Aggregate capital cap — a single natural person may not hold combined Challenge + Funded capital exceeding US$ 200,000 across all active Programmes.

Specific numerical values for each parameter are listed in the public Programmes index. All numerical breaches identified by the automated monitoring system result in immediate disqualification without warning and forfeiture of any unpaid amounts, subject to the appeal mechanism described in §5.4 below.

4.3.2 Discretionary trading required

(a) Challenge participation requires discretionary, manually-executed trading. The use of automated trading systems (bots, expert advisors, scripts, third-party signal providers, copy-trading services, mirror-trading systems, and shared strategy distributions) is prohibited unless expressly authorised by the Operator in writing on a per-participant basis; (b) Behavioural detection systems may flag patterns suggestive of non-discretionary trading even where no individual rule has been breached. A flagged Challenge is subject to manual review before any Payout may be processed (see also §5.4); (c) Persistent patterns scoring at or above the documented internal threshold result in automatic suspension of the Challenge pending review, without prejudice to the participant's right of appeal under §5.4 and the Complaints Procedure.

4.3.3 Inactivity

A Challenge with no closed trades for a continuous period of 30 calendar days (counted from the most recent closed trade) is automatically cancelled, with forfeiture of any accumulated simulated profit and of any unpaid Performance Reward. The Entry Fee is not refundable in such circumstances.

4.4. Profit Consistency Rule

To prevent the effect of a single fortunate day in the absence of consistent results, a profit-consistency rule may apply:

no single trading day shall account for more than the prescribed share of the participant's overall profit during the assessment period;
excess profit beyond the threshold is excluded from the calculation of the Payout;
the rule may be eased or disapplied on the Funded Stage — see the relevant Programme parameters.

4.5. Leverage cap

Each Programme prescribes a maximum leverage:

for Programmes under the rules effective from 1 June 2026 (and any later version), exceeding the leverage cap results in automatic disqualification with no warning buffer;
for Programmes operated under the legacy rules in force prior to 1 June 2026, exceeding the leverage cap attracts a WARNING for a first occurrence and a repeat breach attracts DISQUALIFICATION — these legacy terms continue to apply to participants who enrolled before that date.

4.6. Prohibited strategies

The full list of prohibited strategies is set out in the Prohibited Trading Practices. It includes, without limitation: HFT, latency arbitrage, reverse-engineering of the demo feed, copy trading between Challenge accounts, group hedging, account rolling, news-only trading, manipulation, exploitation of errors in the Simulated Environment.

5. Compliance and integrity monitoring

5.1. Continuous monitoring

All active Challenge accounts are subject to continuous, automated supervision by the Operator using a combination of compliance, trading-metrics and Simulated-Environment integrity systems. The specific technical composition, frequency and algorithms of those systems are internal information of the Operator and are not disclosed to participants or to third parties.

5.2. Purposes of monitoring

The monitoring systems are aimed at:

(a) verifying participants' compliance with the trading rules of the Programme (drawdown, leverage, Stop-Loss requirements, minimum trading days, etc.); (b) detecting attempts artificially to alter the balance of the Simulated Environment outside trading; (c) detecting indicia of co-ordinated behaviour between multiple accounts; (d) verifying the authenticity and integrity of trading transactions; (e) detecting duplicate participation in multiple parallel Challenges or Pools; (f) detecting prohibited trading strategies as listed in the Prohibited Trading Practices.

5.3. Decisions following monitoring

Where indicia of a breach are detected, one of the following measures may be applied (depending on the severity and nature of the breach):

a warning — notification of an observed anomaly;
temporary suspension — for the purpose of conducting a review;
disqualification — termination of participation in the Challenge;
a ban — termination of participation, together with a block on re-registration.

5.4. Human review

In accordance with GDPR Art. 22 and the Privacy Policy §12.2, all decisions resulting in disqualification or a ban that are based on automated monitoring systems are subject to administrator review with human involvement before final application. You may appeal a decision through the Complaints Procedure.

5.5. Audit log

All material events and decisions are recorded in the Operator's internal audit log. A participant may request a summary extract in respect of his or her Account by writing to legal@scalping.life. Internal technical metrics, thresholds and algorithms of the monitoring systems are not disclosed in such an extract, in order to protect the integrity of the Platform and to prevent circumvention of the rules by bad-faith participants.

6. The Funded Stage and Payouts

6.1. Progression to the Funded Stage

Following successful completion of a Challenge:

(a) the participation status is recorded in the dashboard as "successfully completed"; (b) access to the Funded Stage is opened; (c) the same simulated-trading rules as during the Challenge continue to apply on the Funded Stage (drawdown, leverage, Stop-Loss, etc.), unless expressly stated otherwise in the Programme parameters; (d) the participant is entitled to submit Payout requests in respect of the results of simulated trading.

6.2. Calculation of the Payout

A Performance Reward (Payout) is calculated according to the following principles:

(a) base share (Payout Split) — the prescribed percentage share of the participant's calculated simulated profit. The specific value, together with the rules under which the share may be increased over a number of successful Payouts, is set out in the relevant Programme parameters and in the user dashboard; (b) minimum threshold for submitting a Payout request — set out in the Programme parameters; (c) withholdings and adjustments — may apply where the Profit Consistency Rule has been breached, where partial breaches of the rules have been recorded, or where tax obligations require withholding in jurisdictions in which the Operator must withhold tax (where applicable); (d) payment currency — USDT or USDC on the BEP-20 or ERC-20 network, paid to the wallet provided by the participant and verified.

6.3. Conditions for submitting a Payout request

A Payout request may be submitted where, taken together:

(a) the Challenge has been successfully completed and the Funded Stage is active; (b) the minimum number of trading days has been completed since the previous Payout (where set); (c) calculated profit exceeds the minimum Payout threshold; (d) there are no active unresolved warnings; (e) KYC has been completed where applicable (see the KYC/AML Policy); (f) a valid crypto-wallet address has been provided; (g) there are no indicia of breach of the Prohibited Trading Practices for the period under calculation.

6.4. Processing time

(a) Payout requests are reviewed within up to 14 business days of submission; (b) where issues arise or further checks are required, the period may be extended with notice to the participant; (c) the payment itself (after approval) is made within 48 hours to the wallet provided; (d) the Operator accepts no responsibility for delays caused by block-chain congestion, network errors or the participant having provided an incorrect recipient address.

6.5. Withholding of Payouts — grounds and remedies

In accordance with Terms of Use §7.5, the Operator reserves the right:

(a) to withhold a Payout in whole or in part where there are documented grounds, including, without limitation: - confirmed use of prohibited strategies (see Prohibited Trading Practices); - reasonable suspicion of manipulation of the Simulated Environment, supported by sufficient indicators; - KYC/AML breaches, or inability to complete identity verification; - simulation failures or errors affecting the calculation of the result; - legal obligations (sanctions, court orders for the freezing of assets, tax obligations);

(b) remedies available to the participant where withholding turns out to have been wrongful or to have been applied as a result of a technical error of the Operator: - payment of the originally calculated Payout — as the primary remedy where internal review or external dispute resolution confirms that there were no grounds for withholding; - refund of the Entry Fee — as a fallback minimum guaranteed remedy in cases where, for objective reasons, the originally calculated Payout cannot be paid in full; - mandatory consumer rights and any other rights conferred by applicable law are preserved in full;

(c) decisions to withhold a Payout are subject to internal human review (Section 5.4 of this Agreement) and may be appealed through the Complaints Procedure and, in the last instance, by way of the arbitration provided for in the Terms of Use, or, in the case of consumers, by reference to the courts having jurisdiction.

6.6. Further provisions on Payouts

Detailed rules on the submission, calculation, withholding, taxation and other aspects of Payouts are set out in the separate Payouts Policy.

7. Disqualification, ban and termination

7.1. Grounds for disqualification

Participation in a Challenge may be terminated by way of disqualification in any of the following circumstances:

(a) breach of drawdown limits (Daily DD or Max DD); (b) repeated breach of the Stop-Loss or leverage requirements; (c) use of strategies listed in the Prohibited Trading Practices; (d) detection of material anomalies that are inconsistent with legitimate trading activity; (e) detection of indicia of co-ordinated behaviour between related accounts; (f) breach of the Profit Consistency Rule that is not remedied within the prescribed time; (g) failure to complete KYC where the relevant identification threshold has been reached.

Consequences of disqualification:

immediate suspension of trading on the Challenge account;
cancellation of all unrealised Payouts;
retention of the Entry Fee by the Operator (without refund);
the possible offer of re-registration on a discount, at the Operator's discretion.

7.2. Grounds for a ban

Participation may be terminated by way of a ban where there are material breaches, including:

(a) detected attempts to alter artificially the balance of the Simulated Environment outside ordinary trading; (b) direct evidence of fraud, collusion or other bad-faith conduct; (c) forgery of KYC documents or other identification information; (d) attempts to reverse-engineer the Simulated Environment, the monitoring systems or other protected infrastructure of the Platform; (e) threats, abuse or extortion against the Operator, its administrators or other participants; (f) public disclosure of confidential information regarding the operation of the Platform; (g) circumvention of a prior ban through the creation of new Accounts.

Consequences of a ban:

immediate termination of all related Challenges and Pools;
withholding of any Payout in full;
block on re-registration;
block of related identifiers (including, without limitation, email, exchange identifiers, wallet addresses, technical signatures);
referral to law-enforcement authorities where the conduct presents indicia of a criminal offence (fraud, money-laundering, etc.).

7.3. Temporary suspension

A participant may be placed in a temporary-suspension regime for the purpose of carrying out a review. During the review:

trading is suspended;
Payouts are suspended;
the participant is notified by email and via Telegram;
the review period is up to 14 business days (with the possibility of extension by notice).

After completion of the review, participation either resumes or is terminated, depending on the outcome.

7.4. Closure without progression

A Challenge may be closed without disciplinary findings where:

(a) the time-limit for achieving the targets of the relevant phase has expired; (b) the participant has failed to fulfil the minimum number of trading days within the time-limit; (c) other technical conditions have not been satisfied without there being any clear breach of the rules.

Closure without progression does not carry any allegation of breach and is ordinarily entitled to a higher discount on re-registration.

7.5. Cancellation

A participant may cancel his or her participation in a Challenge before the first transaction is placed:

(a) through the user dashboard, using the cancellation function; (b) by email to support@scalping.life; (c) on cancellation, the Entry Fee is refunded in accordance with the Refund Policy.

Once the first transaction has been placed, cancellation with refund is not available.

7.6. Duplicate participation

Use of the same exchange demo account in multiple parallel Challenges or Custom Pools is prohibited and is automatically checked by the Operator. Where duplicate participation is identified:

registration of a second Challenge becomes impossible until the conflict is resolved;
the participant may be invited to use a different demo account;
attempts to circumvent the restriction lead to disqualification with loss of the Entry Fee.

8. Personal use only

8.1. Personal use

The Challenge account is intended exclusively for personal use by the User who has registered for it. It is prohibited:

(a) to delegate the management of a Challenge to any third party; (b) to provide access to the Account, the API keys or the demo account to third parties; (c) to trade on behalf of, or in the interests of, third parties; (d) to use automated trading systems of any kind (bots, expert advisors, custom scripts, third-party signal providers, copy-trading services, mirror-trading systems, shared strategy distributions) unless expressly authorised in writing by the Operator on a per-participant basis. For Programmes evaluated under the rules effective from 1 June 2026 (and any later version), no such authorisations are issued for the evaluation stage and any detected use of automation triggers immediate disqualification without payout; (e) to share Challenge results with a view to creating derivative products (signal services, copy services).

8.2. Verification of personal use

Where there are reasonable grounds for suspecting a breach of Section 8.1, the Operator may request additional verification in one of the following forms:

(a) video verification (a live Q&A via a secure video channel) — no more than one session per Challenge, of a duration of up to 30 minutes, scheduled in advance with the participant in reasonable hours for the participant's time zone, without recording by the Operator (save where required for KYC-provider compliance, with prior notice to the participant);

(b) screenshots or screen captures of the trading environment with timestamps, related to specific time intervals identified by the Operator;

Requests must be reasonable and proportionate to the nature of the suspicion. Continuous surveillance, 24/7 video recording, or continuous monitoring of the participant's device are not requested and are not a condition of participation in a Challenge.

A failure, within a reasonable period (no less than seven (7) business days from the request), to provide reasonably requested verification, where there is a documented and reasonable suspicion, may constitute a ground for disqualification.

9. Confidentiality

9.1. Participant non-disclosure

By participating in a Challenge, you agree:

(a) not to disclose publicly internal results, metrics, formulas or any details of the Platform's internal operation, save with the Operator's express written consent; (b) not to publish screenshots of private dashboards, audit logs, or correspondence with support; (c) not to use the name, brand or logos of Smart Scalping Life / ARTIO SSL for the marketing of third-party services without consent; (d) not to make public statements that materially misrepresent the Platform, the Operator or its staff.

9.2. Permitted public communications

A participant is entitled to:

share summary results (overall profit, win-rate, without disclosing specific trades);
recommend the Platform in a neutral context;
post reviews on public platforms (Trustpilot, social networks) — without disclosing confidential information.

9.3. Complaints, claims and public communications

Right to truthful reviews and criticism. A participant retains the full right to post truthful reviews, to express reasoned criticism and to share personal experience of the Services on public channels (including, without limitation, social networks, Trustpilot, forums and review sites). This right is protected by applicable law and may not be limited by this Agreement.

Recommendation, not obligation, to use the internal escalation procedure. The Operator recommends that, where complaints arise, participants first escalate them through the Complaints Procedure, since this typically results in faster and more substantive resolution. Such recommendation is not a contractual obligation and does not preclude the participant's right to share his or her experience publicly or to seek public or regulatory remedies.

Protection against deliberately false defamatory statements. This provision does not limit the Operator's right to defend itself against deliberately false and defamatory statements through the procedures provided for under applicable defamation law, provided that the burden of establishing the deliberately false and defamatory nature of the statement rests on the Operator.

10. Limitation of liability

10.1. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator and its representatives shall not be liable for:

(a) failure by a participant to achieve Challenge targets; (b) damages, lost profit or moral damages; (c) technical failures of the Platform, of the relevant exchanges or of infrastructure providers; (d) Payout delays caused by block-chain congestion, network errors or the acts of third parties; (e) changes in third-party services; (f) changes in the law of your jurisdiction; (g) loss of access to the Account caused by the participant (loss of the Google account, theft of credentials).

10.2. The Operator's aggregate liability under this Agreement is limited in accordance with Terms of Use §15.2 — namely, the total amount actually paid by the participant to the Operator over the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Carve-outs are set out in Terms of Use §15.3.

11. Amendments to this Agreement

11.1. The Operator may update this Agreement. Material changes:

(a) shall be notified to participants by email and by notice in the user dashboard; (b) shall enter into force fourteen (14) days after notification; (c) for active Challenges, the version of the Agreement in force at the time of activation shall continue to apply.

11.2. Continued participation after entry into force of an amendment constitutes acceptance of the amended version.

12. Governing law and dispute resolution

12.1. This Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales.

12.2. Disputes shall be resolved in accordance with Terms of Use §18:

prior recourse to the Complaints Procedure;
arbitration under the LCIA Rules, in London, in the English language.

13. Entire agreement

13.1. This Agreement, together with the related documents identified above, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Operator in respect of your participation in a Challenge.

13.2. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Use, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail in respect of matters specific to a Challenge.
