Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of GibeAway, including the website, giveaways, bonus tickets, leaderboards, and any related features (together, the "Service"). By signing in or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

To use the Service you must:

• Have a valid Steam account in good standing.
• Live somewhere that permits participation in giveaways of this kind and access to the partner sites they involve.

You are responsible for knowing and following the laws that apply to you. Where a giveaway is void or restricted by law, it is void or restricted for you.

You sign in to GibeAway through Steam. We never see or store your Steam password. Your GibeAway account is tied to your SteamID, and you may hold only one account. You are responsible for all activity that happens through your account and for keeping your Steam account secure.

Creating multiple accounts, sharing accounts, or using someone else's account to gain extra entries is not allowed and may result in disqualification and a ban.

GibeAway lists two kinds of giveaways. Host giveaways are run by approved community hosts. Site giveaways (the monthly and weekly drops) are run by GibeAway and entered with bonus tickets.

Host giveaways may offer bonus entries for optional activities, such as signing up to a partner site with the host's affiliate code or reaching wager or deposit milestones under that code. These activities are always optional. You are never required to deposit or wager money to use GibeAway, and you should never spend more than you can afford to lose to chase entries.

Entry counts, requirements, prize values, and end times are shown on each giveaway page. Prize values are estimates based on market prices and may change. We may correct obvious errors in a listing at any time.

You earn bonus tickets from entries in host giveaways and can spend them to enter site giveaways. Bonus tickets:

• Have no cash value and cannot be bought, sold, or redeemed for money.
• Cannot be transferred to another account.
• Are not refunded once spent on a giveaway entry.
• May be adjusted or removed if they were earned through an error, abuse, or a breach of these Terms.

Winners are picked with a provably fair process. When a giveaway ends, its entries are locked and the draw is tied to a future block on the EOS blockchain. Once that block is produced, its hash determines a roll that selects the winning ticket. The block number, block hash, roll, and winning ticket are published on the giveaway page so anyone can verify the result.

Draw results are final, except where we find fraud, abuse, or a technical fault. In those cases we may void entries, redraw, or cancel the giveaway.

Prizes are in-game items for games such as Counter-Strike 2 and Rust. To receive a prize you may need a valid Steam trade URL and a Steam account that can trade. If a winner does not claim a prize or provide what is needed to deliver it within 30 days, the prize may be forfeited and redrawn.

For host giveaways, the host is responsible for delivering the prize. GibeAway is not liable for a host's failure to deliver, though we may remove hosts who do not honor their giveaways. We are not responsible for trade holds, restrictions, or changes made by Steam or game publishers.

You are responsible for any taxes that apply to prizes you win.

If you are approved as a host, you also agree that:

• You own, or have the right to give away, every prize you list.
• Your listings, images, and descriptions are accurate and not misleading.
• You will deliver prizes to winners promptly once a draw is settled.
• Your affiliate codes and any partner programs you promote comply with the rules of those partners and the laws that apply to you.
• You give us permission to display the content you upload, including item images, for the purpose of running and promoting the Service.

We may edit, hide, or remove any listing, and revoke host access, at any time.

The Service links to and integrates with third parties, including Steam and partner skin and gaming sites such as RustyLoot. Those sites are operated by others and have their own terms, policies, and age requirements. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability, or conduct, or for any money you deposit or wager with them.

Some partner sites offer games of chance. If you choose to use them, please play responsibly. If gambling stops being fun, take a break and seek support from a local responsible gambling organization.

GibeAway is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Valve Corporation, Facepunch Studios, or Steam.

When using the Service, you must not:

• Use bots, scripts, or automation to enter giveaways or earn tickets.
• Create or control multiple accounts, or collude with others to win.
• Exploit bugs, interfere with draws, or attempt to access data or systems you are not authorized to access.
• Impersonate GibeAway, a host, or another user.
• Use the Service for fraud, money laundering, or any other unlawful purpose.

We may suspend or close your account, remove your entries and tickets, or disqualify you from any giveaway if we reasonably believe you have broken these Terms or acted in a way that harms the Service or its users. You can stop using the Service at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account as described in our Privacy Policy.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error free, or secure, or that any giveaway will run as scheduled.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, GibeAway and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of items, data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service or any third-party site. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to USD $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above, and for significant changes we may also give notice on the site. Continuing to use the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
