1. Who we are and agreeing to these terms
Helios, including the Helios mobile application (package com.helios.mining), the Helios website, and related services (collectively, the “Services”), is provided by Jacob Tarnabine (“Helios,” “we,” “us,” and “our”). By downloading, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, to use the Services. By using the Services you confirm that you meet this requirement and that you are not barred from using them under any applicable law.
3. Your account
Some features require a Helios account. An account created in the app is also your Helios website member account. You agree to give accurate information, keep your sign-in details secure, and use only one account per person. You are responsible for activity under your account. You can delete your account at any time as described on our Delete Account page.
4. How Helios rewards work
Helios lets you run mining cycles, activate boosts, claim daily bonuses, and invite others to earn HLS, the in-app rewards of the Helios ecosystem. HLS is a virtual, in-app reward. It is not money, a currency, a security, or a cryptocurrency, has no cash value, and cannot be redeemed for cash. HLS cannot be sold, transferred, or exchanged outside the Services except through features we provide.
Your participation helps grow the Helios ecosystem, and we may use in-app activity to shape future Helios rewards and programs. Any such program is optional, will be offered under its own terms, and is not promised or guaranteed. Reward rates, cycle lengths, boosts, bonuses, and balances are set by us, are recorded in our systems, and may be changed, corrected, or reset, for example to fix errors or abuse.
5. Advertising
The Services show advertising, including optional rewarded videos provided through Google AdMob. Watching a rewarded video can activate a boost; if a video cannot be shown or is closed early, the related boost may not be applied. How advertising uses information is described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Purchases
We may offer optional paid features, such as passes or subscriptions that unlock additional features. Purchases made in the app are processed by Google Play and are subject to Google Play’s terms and refund policies. Prices and included features are shown before you buy. Paid features do not convert into cash or HLS outside the Services, and subscriptions can be managed or cancelled in your Google Play account.
7. Fair play
You agree not to:
- use bots, scripts, emulators, or automation to mine, boost, claim, or watch advertising;
- create multiple accounts, or use fake referrals, to collect extra rewards;
- interfere with, fake, or manipulate advertising, including clicking or viewing ads in bad faith;
- exploit bugs, reverse engineer the Services, or access them in ways we do not provide;
- harass others, break the law, or infringe anyone’s rights while using the Services.
We may remove rewards earned through any of these activities and may suspend or close the accounts involved.
8. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or end your access to the Services, and remove related rewards, if you break these Terms, if required by law, or if we stop offering the Services. You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including sections 4, 9, 10, and 12, will continue to apply.
9. Intellectual property
The Services, including the Helios name, logo, artwork, music, and software, belong to us or our licensors and are protected by law. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Services for your own non-commercial use under these Terms.
10. Disclaimers
Helios is under active development. The Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” and may change, be interrupted, or contain errors. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Nothing in the Services is financial or investment advice.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, rewards, or profits, arising from your use of the Services. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Services is limited to the amount you paid us for the Services in the twelve months before the claim, or US $50 if you paid nothing. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you, and nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law that cannot be waived.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Mississippi, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, except where the consumer protection laws of your country of residence require otherwise.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms as the Services change. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date and give notice through the app, website, or another reasonable method. Continuing to use the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
