These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Polimarket Store (“Polimarket Store,” “we” and “us”). You must agree to and accept all of the Terms, or you don’t have the right to use the Services.

These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Privacy & Cookies Policy and Copyright Dispute Policy.
Polimarket Store are always trying to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with the Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will let you know by putting a notice, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means.
If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you can reject them; unfortunately, that means you can’t use the Services anymore. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.
Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.

The Services may allow you to copy or download some Content; please remember that just because this functionality exists doesn’t mean all the restrictions above don’t apply – they do!
Anything you post, upload, share, store or otherwise make available through the Services is your “User Submission”. Some User Submissions are viewable by other users. To display your User Submissions on the Services and to allow other users to see them (where applicable) you grant us certain rights in those User Submissions. Please note that all the below licenses are subject to our Privacy & Cookies Policy where applicable to User Submissions that are also your personally-identifiable information.
For all User Submissions you hereby grant Polimarket Store a license to translate, modify (for technical purposes, for example to make sure your content is viewable on an iPhone as well as a computer) and reproduce and otherwise act with respect to such User Submissions to enable us to operate the Services as described below. This is a license only – your ownership in User Submissions is not affected.
If you store a User Submission in your own personal Polimarket Store account in a way that is not viewable by any other user except you (a “Personal User Submission”) you grant Polimarket Store the license above as well as a license to display, perform and distribute your Personal User Submission for the sole purpose of making that Personal User Submission accessible to you and to provide the Services necessary to do so.
If you share a User Submission only in a way that only certain specified users can see (for example a private message to one or more other users) (a “Limited Audience User Submission”) then you grant Polimarket Store the licenses above as well as a license to display, perform and distribute your Limited Audience User Submission for the sole purpose of making that Limited Audience User Submission accessible to such other specified users and to provide the Services necessary to do so. You also grant such other specified users a license to access that Limited Audience User Submission and to use and exercise all rights in it as permitted by the functionality of the Services.
If you share a User Submission publicly on the Services and/or in a way that more than just you or certain specified users can see, or if you email us (in a direct email or otherwise) with any feedback, suggestions, improvements, enhancements and/or feature requests relating to the Services (each of the foregoing a “Public User Submission”) then you grant Polimarket Store the licenses above as well as a license to display, perform and distribute your Public User Submission for the purpose of making that Public User Submission accessible to all Polimarket Store users and to provide the Services necessary to do so, as well as all other rights necessary to use and exercise all rights in that Public User Submission in connection with the Services and/or otherwise in connection with Polimarket Store business for any purpose, provided that Polimarket Store will try to notify you if it uses your Public User Submission for any reason other than displaying it on the Services. Also, you grant all other users of the Services a license to access that Public User Submission and to use and exercise all rights in it as permitted by the functionality of the Services.
You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, perpetual, sublicenseable, irrevocable and worldwide, provided that when you delete your Polimarket Store account we will stop displaying your User Submissions (other than Public User Submissions which may remain fully available) to other users (if applicable), but you understand and agree that it may not be possible to completely delete that content from Polimarket Store records and that your User Submissions may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent that they were copied or stored by other users.
Finally, you understand and agree that Polimarket Store, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users (including you), may need to make changes to your User Submissions to conform and adapt those User Submissions to the technical requirements of connection networks, devices, services or media and the foregoing licenses include the rights to do so.
You may have heard of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) as it relates to online service providers, like Polimarket Store, being asked to remove material that allegedly violates someone’s copyright.

Polimarket Store values your privacy. Please review our Privacy Policy to learn more about how we collect and use information about you via the Services. The Privacy Policy explains how Polimarket Store treats your personal information and protects your privacy when you access Polimarket Store and use the Services.
We may amend the Privacy Policy at any time in our sole discretion, effective upon posting the amended Privacy Policy where the prior version of the Privacy Policy was posted, or by communicating these changes through any written or other contact method we have established with you. Your use of the Services following the date on which such amended Privacy Policy is published will constitute consent to such amendments to the extent they do not have retroactive applicability.
If you are a paying subscriber to the Services, to the extent that Polimarket Store processes any Personal Data (as defined in the DPA) that is subject to the GDPR (as defined in the DPA) on your behalf in the provision of the Services, the terms of the data processing addendum located here (“DPA”) shall apply and the parties agree to comply with such terms. For the purposes of the Standard Contractual Clauses referenced in the DPA, when you are the data exporter, your agreeing to these Terms of Service shall be treated as signing of the DPA, including, without limitation, the Standard Contractual Clauses and their Appendices.
Any information or content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such content originated, and you access all such information and content at your own risk, and we aren’t liable for any errors or omissions in that information or content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it. We can’t control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services. We can’t guarantee the identity of any users with whom you interact in using the Services and are not responsible for which users gain access to the Services.
You are responsible for all Content you contribute, in any manner, to the Services, and you represent and warrant you have all rights necessary to do so, in the manner in which you contribute it. You will keep all your registration information accurate and current. You are responsible for all your activity in connection with the Services.
The Services may contain links or connections to third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by the Polimarket Store. When you access third party websites or use third party services you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that Polimarket Store is not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party website or service that you visit or utilize.
Polimarket Store has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Services. In addition, Polimarket Store will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third party site or service. By using the Services you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party website or service.
Your dealings with other organizations or individuals found on or through the Services, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties. You agree that Polimarket Store shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.
If there is a dispute between users on this site, or between users and any third party, you agree that Polimarket Store is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release Polimarket Store, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
We’re always trying to improve the Services so they may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services. We’ll try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Services that would adversely affect you, but this isn’t always practical. Similarly we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion and without notice.
The Polimarket Store Services are currently free but we reserve the right to charge for certain or all Services in the future. We will notify you before any Services you are then using begin carrying a fee and if you wish to continue using such Services you must pay all applicable fees for such Services.
You’re free to do that at any time by contacting us; please refer to our Privacy & Cookies Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using our Services. Polimarket Store is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms. Polimarket Store has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.
Account termination may result in destruction of any Content associated with your account, so keep that in mind before you decide to terminate your account. We will try to provide advance notice to you prior to our terminating your account so that you are able to retrieve any important User Submissions you may have stored in your account (to the extent allowed by law and these Terms), but we may not do so if we determine it would be impractical, illegal, not in the interest of someone’s safety or security, or otherwise harmful to the rights or property of Polimarket Store.
Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.
These Terms apply to your use of all the Services, including the iOS applications available via Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) App Store (the “Application”), but the following additional terms also apply to the Application:
If you purchase any goods or services or license any software through the site whether or not in connection with an Offer or Discount, you also agree to the Terms of Sale here.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitation and exclusions may not apply to you.Indemnity. To the fullest extent allowed by law, You agree to indemnify and hold Polimarket Store, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees and partners harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any third party claims relating to (a) your use of the Services (including any actions taken by a third party using your account), and (b) your breach of these Terms. In the event of such a claim, suit or action (“Claim”), we will attempt to notify you of the Claim at the contact information we have for your account (but failure to do so shall not relieve you of your indemnification obligations hereunder).

We may transfer, assign or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.Choice of Law; Arbitration.

(“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules.
Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Miscellaneous. You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing and reporting all taxes, duties and other governmental assessments associated with your use of the Services, provided that Polimarket Store may, in its sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit. The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
You and Polimarket Store agree that these Terms are the entire and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Polimarket Store, and that it supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms.

When you visit the Services, we may send one or more “cookies“ – small data files – to your computer to uniquely identify your browser and help us log you in faster and improve your experience on the website.

This is because the information collected is typically linked to a pseudonymous identifier associated with the device you use to access our website.
The information collected is aggregated and anonymous. It may include the number of visitors to our website, the websites that referred them to our website, the pages they viewed on our website, what time of day they visited our website, whether they visited our website before, and other similar information. We use this information to help us operate our website more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our website.We use a number of different tools including Google Analytics, Segment, Amplitude, Intercom, and HotJar for this purpose.
Targeted and advertising cookiesThese cookies track your browsing habits to enable us to show you advertising which is more likely to be of interest to you. These cookies use information about your browsing history to group you with other users who have similar interests.
Based on that information, and with our permission, third party advertisers can place cookies to enable them to show adverts which we think will be relevant to your interests while you are on third party websites. Third party advertisers may also use other technologies in addition to cookies placed on the website (such as JavaScript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their adverts and to personalise the advertising content.
Social Media Cookies
These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or “like” button on our website or you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social networking website such as Facebook, or X. The social network will record that you have done this. These cookies may also include certain code that has been placed on the website to help track conversations from ads, optimize ads based on collected data, build targeted audiences for future ads, and remarket to qualified users who have already taken certain action on the website.
How can I disable cookies?
You can typically reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “settings”, “help” “tools” or “edit” facility). Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings.
If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Services and some features of the Services may not function properly. For example, we may not be able to recognise your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Services.

Log Files
Log file information is automatically reported by your browser each time you access a web page. When you use the Services, our servers automatically record certain information your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.
Clear GIFs Information (Web Beacons)
When you use the Services, we may employ clear GIFs (also known as web beacons or tracking pixels) from an ad network to anonymously track online usage patterns. Web beacons allow ad networks to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for us and for advertisers. Web beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites.
Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network’s servers, these companies can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site. You may be able to opt-out of web beacon tracking by adjusting the settings on your browser. In addition, we may also use clear GIFs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients. The information collected is used to enable more accurate reporting and make Polimarket Store better for our users.
