Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: May 30, 2025

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of emoji.today, a global emoji-voting experience operated by The Company ("The Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or participating in emoji.today, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use emoji.today.

1. Acceptance of Terms

Signing in to emoji.today constitutes your full acceptance of these Terms and any additional rules or guidelines we post (collectively, the "Rules").

Participation is voluntary; you may stop at any time.

2. Eligibility (Age & Account)

Age Restriction: emoji.today is available only to individuals 18 years of age or older.

Farcaster Account: A valid Farcaster account is required for authentication. You are responsible for keeping your Farcaster credentials secure. All activity from your Farcaster account on emoji.today is deemed to be yours.

One Account Per Person: Creating or controlling multiple Farcaster IDs to evade the one-vote-per-day rule is prohibited; we may disqualify votes or terminate participation for suspected abuse.

3. How emoji.today Works

Voting Window: 00:00 UTC – 23:59 UTC each day.

One Irrevocable Vote: You may cast one (1) vote per day, and it cannot be changed once submitted.

No Moderation of Emoji Choices: All standard Unicode emojis are valid options; the result is purely democratic.

Daily Winner & NFT Minting: After the window closes, the emoji with the most votes is minted as a unique Daily Emoji NFT on the Base blockchain and permanently added to a public timeline.

Rule Evolution: The Company may refine mechanics (e.g., tie-breakers) or add new features, providing notice under Section 11.

4. Optional USD $1 Participation NFT

After voting, you may optionally purchase a Participation NFT for USD $1 (plus any blockchain gas or processor fees).

Purchases are final and non-refundable.

Delivery requires a Base-compatible wallet; you are responsible for correct wallet details and wallet security.

Limit: one Participation NFT per voter per day.

5. Daily Emoji NFT Auction & Future Rewards

Each Daily Emoji NFT is auctioned the following day; auction details will be announced.

Proceeds belong to The Company.

Future Reward Mechanism: The Company intends (but does not guarantee) to share future auction, sponsorship, or advertisement proceeds with users who voted for the winning emoji. Any such mechanism will be announced separately and governed by these or additional terms.

6. Public Nature of Votes

Your vote (emoji + Farcaster ID) is publicly visible and may be immutably recorded on-chain.

Real-time leaderboards and results may be displayed and promoted publicly.

The Company does not censor or filter emoji options; community choice prevails.

7. Privacy & Data Protection

Data We Collect: Farcaster ID, your vote, wallet address for NFT delivery, and minimal usage analytics.

No Unnecessary Data: We collect nothing beyond what is required to operate emoji.today.

Compliance: We adhere to GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy laws.

Public Record: Votes and on-chain data are inherently public and cannot be erased. Non-public personal data (e.g., payment details) is handled by trusted third-party processors and kept confidential.

8. Blockchain Risks & Your Responsibilities

Blockchain transactions are irreversible.

NFT and cryptocurrency values are speculative and may be zero.

You are solely responsible for wallet security, private keys, and compliance with local regulations.

The Company is not liable for lost keys, failed transactions, or blockchain/network outages.

9. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

emoji.today is provided "as is" and "as available."

No Warranties: The Company disclaims all warranties, express or implied.

No Guarantee of Value: We do not guarantee any particular value or utility of NFTs.

Maximum Liability: The Company's aggregate liability is capped at the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us in the past 12 months or (b) CAD $100, except where prohibited by law.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; where prohibited, those limitations will not apply to the extent required by law.

10. User Consents

By participating in emoji.today you expressly consent to:

  • Public Display of Your Votes.
  • Immediate, Non-Refundable Delivery of Digital Goods.
  • The Company's right to showcase daily results (including your public Farcaster ID) for promotional purposes.

11. Changes to These Terms

Notice: Material changes will be announced via emoji.today, email, or Farcaster and will take effect on the stated date.

Acceptance: Continued use after the effective date signifies acceptance.

Minor Updates: Non-material edits may take effect immediately upon posting.

12. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada and applicable federal laws.

Exclusive jurisdiction: courts of British Columbia, unless non-waivable consumer protection law requires otherwise.

Any claim must be brought within one (1) year of accrual unless a longer period is required by law.

13. Miscellaneous

Severability: If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in force.

No Waiver: Our failure to enforce any term is not a waiver.

Entire Agreement: These Terms (plus any Rules + Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement between you and The Company regarding emoji.today.

Assignment: You may not transfer your rights; we may assign ours in connection with corporate changes.

Headings: Headings are for convenience only.

Survival: Sections that by their nature should survive termination do so.
