Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Helpmewin.win LLC ("Helpmewin," "we," "us"), the operator of helpmewin.win (the "Site"). By creating an account, subscribing, or otherwise using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Site.

Please read Section 15 carefully. It contains a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver that affect how disputes with Helpmewin are resolved. You can opt out within 30 days.

1. What Helpmewin is — and what it isn't

Helpmewin is a members-only board for anything video-game related. Members post requests ("Bounties") — for example, help beating a level, finding or reproducing a bug, building or fixing a mod, coaching, or other game-related work — and other members comment on them and apply to take them on; the poster chooses which applicant gets the contract ("claims" it).

Helpmewin is a venue only. We provide the board; we do not perform, supervise, or guarantee any Bounty. In particular:

• We never handle money between members. Any amount shown on a Bounty (an "Offered Amount") is informational text written by the poster. Helpmewin does not collect, hold, escrow, transfer, or guarantee it, and does not take a commission on it.
• We are not a party to any arrangement between members. Any agreement to do work or pay for it is solely between the members involved. We don't verify members' identities, skills, or ability to pay, and we don't mediate or resolve disputes between members.
• Marking a Bounty "claimed" or "resolved" is a status label for convenience. It is not a contract, a confirmation that work was done, or a confirmation that anyone was paid.
• No employment, agency, partnership, or joint-venture relationship exists between Helpmewin and any member.

Because Helpmewin offers no payment protection, you deal with other members at your own risk. Use your judgment, agree on terms clearly before starting, and consider payment methods that offer buyer or seller protection. If you think someone is running a scam, report it (see Section 8).

2. Eligibility and accounts

• You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) and able to form a binding contract.
• You may not use the Site if we have previously banned you.
• One account per person. Provide a real email address you control and keep it current. You may not impersonate anyone or create an account for someone else.
• Keep your password secret. You are responsible for all activity on your account. Tell us right away at bigboss@helpmewin.win if you suspect unauthorized access.

3. Membership, billing, and cancellation

• Posting, commenting, applying for, claiming, and viewing Bounties requires an active membership, currently US $5.00 per month, plus any applicable taxes.
• Free trial. New members may get a 5-day free trial. A valid payment card is required to start it, and the trial begins once the card has been confirmed with our payment processor. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your payment method is charged the membership price when it ends and your membership then auto-renews monthly. We'll send a reminder about a day before the trial ends. If you cancel during the trial, you won't be charged and your access ends when the trial does. Free trials are limited to one per member and one per payment card; if a card has already been used for a free trial, a new membership using it starts paid immediately.
• Auto-renewal. Your membership renews automatically each month and your payment method is charged at the start of each billing period until you cancel.
• Cancel anytime from your subscription settings page (through our payment processor's customer portal). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access until then.
• No refunds for partial billing periods or unused time, and no refunds if your account is suspended or terminated for breaking these Terms, except where required by law.
• If a payment fails, we may suspend your access until it's resolved. If our payment processor is unavailable, new sign-ups and free trials may be paused until it is.
• We may change the membership price with at least 30 days' notice by email. The new price applies from your next billing period after the notice period; you can cancel before then if you don't accept it.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number. Your use of Stripe is also subject to Stripe's own terms.

4. Your responsibilities when posting or taking a Bounty

If you post a Bounty, you are responsible for:

• describing it accurately, including what "done" means;
• only naming an Offered Amount you genuinely intend to honor if the work is completed as described;
• having the right to request the work (for example, owning the mod or project).

If you claim or complete a Bounty, you are responsible for:

• being honest about your skills and progress;
• delivering only work you have the right to deliver.

Members are solely responsible for any taxes on money they receive, and for complying with any laws that apply to work they perform or pay for.

5. Games, publishers, and third-party rules

Helpmewin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any game developer, publisher, or platform. Game names, cover art, and trademarks shown on the Site belong to their respective owners. Game information and cover art are provided by IGDB.

You are solely responsible for complying with the terms of service, end-user license agreements, and community rules of every game and platform involved in a Bounty. Some games prohibit things like account sharing, paid boosting, or certain mods, and may penalize or ban accounts for them. Helpmewin is not responsible for any action a game publisher or platform takes against your account, items, or progress.

6. Bug bounties, exploits, and mods

• Bugs in your own project. Developers may post Bounties to find, reproduce, or fix bugs in games or mods they own or are authorized to test.
• Security vulnerabilities in other companies' games or services (for example, ways to access servers, accounts, or payment systems) must be reported through that company's own disclosure or bug bounty program — not posted, sold, or traded on Helpmewin.
• Mods. Respect each game's modding policy. Ownership and licensing of a mod created for a Bounty is up to the members involved — agree on it in writing before work starts. If you don't, the creator keeps ownership.
• Don't distribute files you don't have the right to distribute, and never distribute malware.

6A. Dev Projects and creator tokens

Dev Projects lets verified creators share game projects they're building, along with a Solana token they say they created or control. Project pages, their charts, and approved creator updates can be viewed by anyone; listing a project, posting updates, and reporting require an active membership.

• No endorsement. Dev Projects is a platform for sharing ideas. Helpmewin does not endorse, vet, audit, recommend, or vouch for any developer, project, or token, and our approval of a listing only means it met these Terms when we reviewed it — not that it is legitimate, valuable, or likely to be finished.
• We take no money from listings or tokens. Helpmewin doesn't sell, buy, hold, transfer, or trade any token, receives no fee, commission, or token from any listing, and isn't paid by creators to list. Your membership fee pays for access to the Site itself and nothing else.
• Not financial advice; high risk. Nothing on Dev Projects is investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. Crypto tokens are highly volatile and speculative; their price can fall to zero, projects can be abandoned, and you can lose everything you spend. Prices and charts come from a third party (GeckoTerminal), may be delayed or wrong, and are shown for information only. Do your own research.
• Trading happens off the Site. "Trade in Solflare" links take you to Solflare, a separate company. Anything you do there is between you and Solflare and is governed by Solflare's own Terms and Privacy Policy. Helpmewin can't reverse, recover, or help with any trade or loss.
• Creators' responsibilities. If you list a project, you confirm you created or control its token; you won't promise or imply profits, returns, price increases, or any share of revenue; you won't impersonate anyone or misstate your project's progress; and you're solely responsible for complying with all laws that apply to your token, including securities and consumer-protection laws. Every project and update is reviewed by a moderator before it appears, and we may reject, remove, or stop showing any listing at any time, for any reason.
• Report anything that looks like a scam, impersonation, or a profit pitch (see Section 8).

7. Prohibited content and conduct

You may not use the Site to post, request, offer, or do any of the following:

• Cheats, hacks, aimbots, wallhacks, bots, or other tools or services that give an unfair advantage over other players in multiplayer games, or that help you evade anti-cheat systems;
• Pirated games or content, cracks, key generators, or tools to bypass copy protection or DRM;
• Stolen, hacked, or phished game accounts, items, or currency, or anything obtained through fraud or chargebacks;
• Requests for, or sharing of, account passwords or login credentials in posts or comments;
• Unauthorized access to, or attacks on, any game, server, network, or account;
• Malware, or links to it;
• Scams, fake Offered Amounts, or misrepresenting yourself or your work;
• Gambling, real-money wagering, or anything illegal where you or the other member live;
• Harassment, threats, hate speech, doxxing, or sharing someone's personal information without consent;
• Sexual content involving minors, in any form, ever;
• Content that infringes anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights;
• Spam, advertising unrelated to games, or chain posts;
• Scraping, automated access, overloading the Site, probing its security, or circumventing the paywall or any account restriction;
• Creating new accounts to evade a suspension or ban.

8. Moderation, reporting, and enforcement

Use the Report button on any post or comment to flag it. We may, but are not obligated to, review content. We may remove content, and warn, suspend, or permanently ban any account, at our discretion, for any violation of these Terms or behavior we believe harms other members or the Site. A suspended or banned account loses access to members features even if its membership is paid up, and is not entitled to a refund. We may report illegal activity to law enforcement.

9. Your content

You own what you post. By posting, you grant Helpmewin a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and reproduce your content solely to operate and improve the Site. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies kept in backups, for legal reasons, or where others have already relied on it (for example, comments on someone else's Bounty). You promise you have the rights needed to post your content. We are not responsible for content posted by members.

Bounties expire. Each Bounty, together with its comments, is automatically and permanently deleted 30 days after it is posted, whatever its status. Save anything you need — including any arrangement you've made with another member — before then. A Bounty's poster may also delete it, with its comments, at any time — including after another member has taken the contract (that member is notified on the Site). We may keep a Bounty longer, and its poster can't delete it, while a report about it is under review.

10. Copyright complaints

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at bigboss@helpmewin.win including: your contact information; the work you claim is infringed; the URL of the infringing material; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn't authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act; and your physical or electronic signature. We will remove infringing material and terminate repeat infringers' accounts where appropriate.

11. Disclaimers

THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DON'T GUARANTEE THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT ANY BOUNTY WILL BE COMPLETED, OR THAT ANY MEMBER WILL PAY, PERFORM, OR BEHAVE AS PROMISED. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION ABOUT ANY DEV PROJECT, CREATOR, OR TOKEN, OR ABOUT THE ACCURACY OF ANY PRICE OR MARKET DATA SHOWN ON THE SITE.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HELPMEWIN WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, GAME ACCOUNTS, VIRTUAL ITEMS, OR GOODWILL, OR FOR ANY LOSS ARISING FROM DEALINGS BETWEEN MEMBERS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SITE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF US $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

13. Release and indemnity

Because we aren't involved in arrangements between members, you release Helpmewin from any claims arising out of disputes with other members. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."

You agree to defend and indemnify Helpmewin against any third-party claims, losses, or costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your use of the Site, your dealings with other members, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right (including a game's terms).

14. Termination

You may stop using the Site and cancel your membership at any time. To delete your account, email bigboss@helpmewin.win. We may suspend or terminate your access as described in Section 8, or if we discontinue the Site. Sections 1, 4–7 (including 6A), and 9–16 survive termination.

15. Disputes with Helpmewin; arbitration

Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, email bigboss@helpmewin.win describing the dispute and give us 60 days to try to resolve it informally.

Binding arbitration. If we can't resolve it informally, you and Helpmewin agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will take place in Wake County, North Carolina, or by video or written submissions if the arbitrator allows. Fees are allocated as the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules provide. This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and, to the extent not inconsistent with it, the North Carolina Revised Uniform Arbitration Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-569.1 et seq.).

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court (in North Carolina, magistrate's court) if it qualifies, and either party may ask a court for an injunction to stop infringement of intellectual property rights or unauthorized access to the Site.

Individual claims only. Claims may only be brought on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing bigboss@helpmewin.win with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out doesn't affect any other part of these Terms.

Severability. If any part of this Section 15 is found unenforceable, that part will be severed and the rest of this Section will still apply — except that if the "Individual claims only" paragraph is found unenforceable as to a claim, that claim will proceed in court (not arbitration), and only after all individual claims are arbitrated. If you opt out, or if this Section is found entirely unenforceable, disputes will be resolved in the courts described in Section 16.

16. General

• Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 15, the state courts located in Wake County, North Carolina, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina have exclusive jurisdiction, and you and Helpmewin consent to personal jurisdiction there.
• Changes. We may update these Terms. We'll post the new version here with a new effective date and, for material changes, notify you by email at least 14 days in advance. Continuing to use the Site after changes take effect means you accept them.
• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Helpmewin about the Site.
• If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision isn't a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger or sale of the Site.
• You agree to receive notices from us electronically, by email or on the Site.
