The fine print, in plain sight.
Terms of Service
Last updated
Stonk Options is an independent entity, separate from Star. Tokens and rewards carry financial risk, including total loss. They are not employer stock options or guaranteed benefits. Read these terms before creating a token, trading, or claiming.
1. Your agreement
These terms govern your use of stonkoptions.xyz and the interfaces and services offered under the Stonk Options name (the “Service”). “We,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of Stonk Options, not Star. By using the Service after being given notice of these terms, or expressly accepting them where requested, you agree to them to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 18, able to enter a binding agreement, and legally permitted to use the relevant feature and asset. If acting for an organization, you must have authority to bind it. Features and assets may be unavailable in your jurisdiction. You must comply with applicable sanctions, securities, financial-services, tax, and other laws, as well as issuer restrictions. Do not circumvent eligibility or geographic controls.
2. Independent from Star and your employer
Stonk Options is an independent entity, separate from Star, star.fun, and the $STAR token. Star is not a party to these terms. Use of Star technology, branding references, links, or the phrase “Powered by Star” describes an integration or ecosystem connection; it does not by itself create an agency, partnership, joint venture, or guarantee by Star. Stonk Options is responsible for its own Service and obligations. Nothing here limits responsibility that the law independently imposes on any person.
Unless a specific relationship is expressly disclosed and authorized, Stonk Options and community tokens are not sponsored, approved, or operated by the employers, companies, stock issuers, or protocols referenced on the Service. Names, logos, tickers, and email domains identify assets or eligibility; they do not establish affiliation. Verifying a company email shows access to that mailbox, not an employer’s approval or a guarantee of employment status.
Stonk Options does not have its own official platform token. Community-created tokens are separate from Stonk Options and $STAR. Check contract addresses and issuer information; a similar name or symbol does not make a token official.
3. What tokens and rewards represent
A community token created through the Service and its paired company token are separate assets. The paired asset may be a tokenized stock or a protocol token. Pairing alone does not give the community token equity, voting rights, dividends, redemption rights, or a claim against the referenced company. Rights attached to a paired asset depend on its issuer’s documents, structure, restrictions, and applicable law; they may differ from directly holding a share. Review those documents independently.
“Stonk Options,” “benefits,” and similar product language do not mean that the Service provides employment, payroll, an employee benefit plan, or an option to acquire employer shares. Rewards do not modify existing grants, vesting, exercise rules, or employer obligations. Eligibility to participate is not a promise of payment.
Rewards depend on actual trading fees, pool rules, verified eligibility, available assets, and enabled distribution and claim functionality. A pool allocation or displayed estimate is not your individual claimable balance. Rewards may be zero, delayed, or unavailable. Test and preview assets and figures have no promised monetary value.
4. No personalized advice or promised returns
Content, rankings, charts, company verification, and listings are informational and do not constitute personalized investment, legal, or tax advice, or a recommendation to transact. Listing a token is not an assessment of its safety, legality, or suitability. No fiduciary or advisory relationship is created by using the Service. Obtain independent professional advice where appropriate and make your own decisions.
We do not promise liquidity, price support, profits, future functionality, or continued access to any market. References to treasury allocations or $STAR buybacks describe plans or activity, not an entitlement to distributions, a guaranteed purchase schedule, or a return. Any policy changes must comply with applicable law and existing obligations. These terms do not determine an asset’s legal classification or exempt anyone from financial regulation.
5. Digital asset and transaction risks
You can lose the entire value of assets used with the Service. Risks include:
- Extreme volatility, illiquidity, slippage, manipulation, trading bots, and a token losing all value or diverging from a referenced asset.
- Smart-contract bugs, exploits, malicious tokens, compromised keys, wallet failures, network congestion, failed transactions, and changes to blockchain protocols.
- Issuer or custodian insolvency, inaccurate reserves or pricing, redemption and transfer restrictions, asset freezes, and changes in law or service availability.
Blockchain transactions may be irreversible. We cannot promise to reverse a transaction, recover a lost key, retrieve an incorrectly sent asset, or reimburse third-party network fees. Check the network, contract address, amount, approvals, and quoted costs before signing. You acknowledge these risks without waiving any rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
6. Accounts, wallets, and eligibility
Provide accurate information and use only accounts, wallets, and email addresses you are authorized to control. Protect your credentials, recovery methods, and signing permissions. Authentication and embedded-wallet providers have their own terms and recovery limitations. Never share a seed phrase or private key with anyone claiming to be support.
Company-domain eligibility and membership may require verification or re-verification. Do not impersonate an employee, buy mailbox access, evade account restrictions, or use multiple identities to manipulate rewards. You are responsible for complying with your employer’s personal-trading, conflicts, gifts, and confidential-information policies. You must not trade on material nonpublic information or improperly disclose it.
7. Fees, metrics, and taxes
Transactions may incur platform, creator, liquidity-pool, network, issuer, and other third-party fees. Review the applicable transaction disclosures before signing. Network fees can apply even if a transaction fails. Fee allocation and reward eligibility are separate from asset ownership. Changes to our fees will be disclosed before they apply to new transactions and will not retroactively change amounts already owed.
The Revenue page and market dashboards may contain estimates, delayed data, or incomplete coverage. They are not audited financial statements or guarantees of future results. Creators and the platform may receive fees from activity, creating financial incentives you should consider. You are responsible for determining and reporting your taxes, subject to any reporting or withholding duties the law places on us.
8. Acceptable use and creator content
Do not use the Service for fraud, market manipulation, wash trading, money laundering, sanctions evasion, harassment, unlawful fundraising, or infringement. Do not exploit vulnerabilities, disrupt the Service, distribute malicious code, or bypass access or rate limits. Report security concerns through the contact route below.
Creators are responsible for their token’s name, artwork, description, claims, and compliance. Submit only content you own or are authorized to use, and disclose material facts and paid promotions as required by law. Do not imply approval by a company, Star, or Stonk Options without permission. You retain your rights and grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, and display submitted content only as needed to operate and present the Service. Public blockchain metadata may remain available after removal from our interface.
9. Third parties and public data
Wallets, authentication providers, token issuers, trading venues, blockchains, Star, and linked websites operate under their own terms. A link or integration is not a guarantee of their performance. We do not control every third-party system or community token accessed through the Service.
Blockchain addresses, transactions, and submitted token metadata can be public, permanent, and linkable to a person. Do not put personal or confidential information in token metadata. Authentication and eligibility checks involve personal data; these terms do not waive your privacy rights or substitute for required privacy notices or consent.
10. Availability and suspension
We may change or discontinue features, or restrict access when reasonably necessary for security, maintenance, legal compliance, or a material violation of these terms. Where practicable and legally permitted, we will provide notice and an opportunity to resolve an issue. Interface suspension does not itself reverse blockchain transactions or transfer ownership of your assets to us. Existing lawful payment obligations and non-waivable rights remain in force.
11. Warranties and limits of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant uninterrupted access, error-free data, or freedom from security defects. Statutory guarantees that cannot be excluded continue to apply.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, lost business opportunities, or losses caused by third parties outside our reasonable control. For business users, our aggregate liability arising from the Service is limited to the greater of US $100 and the platform fees actually received by us from that user in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
These exclusions and the cap do not apply to fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. The business-user cap does not apply to consumers. Nothing here waives mandatory consumer, securities, privacy, or other statutory rights, or excuses us from obligations imposed by law.
12. Responsibility for third-party claims
If you use the Service for business purposes, to the extent permitted by law you agree to indemnify us for reasonable third-party claims, damages, and legal costs caused by your unlawful conduct, material breach of these terms, or infringement through content you submit. This does not cover our own misconduct or breach. We will give prompt notice of a claim and reasonable cooperation, and will not agree to a settlement imposing obligations on you without your consent. This clause does not apply to consumers.
13. Changes and disputes
We may revise these terms for changes to the Service or legal requirements. We will update the date and provide reasonable advance notice of material changes, except where urgent legal or security reasons require otherwise. Changes apply prospectively; we will obtain renewed agreement where required. If you disagree, stop using the affected features. Changes do not remove rights or claims that have already arisen.
Please contact us so we can try to resolve a concern. This is not a prerequisite to exercising legal rights and does not suspend filing deadlines. Applicable law determines the governing law and competent courts, including mandatory protections in your place of residence. These terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
14. Contact
For questions about Stonk Options or these terms, contact the Stonk Options team through @getstonkoptions on X and request a private support channel. Do not post account details or sensitive information publicly. Star’s community channels are not a substitute for contacting Stonk Options about its obligations.
