We may update these Terms at any time without prior notice. Changes take effect immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Platform after any change constitutes acceptance. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of material changes via email or platform notice.
3. Platform Role — Intermediary Only
Bounty is a technology marketplace platform and intermediary only. We connect Posters with Hunters, facilitate community creation, and provide subscription services. We are not a party to any contract between Posters and Hunters.
We do not: employ Hunters; supervise, inspect, or guarantee work quality; guarantee payment outcomes beyond our technical escrow integration; mediate or resolve disputes; make representations about any user's skills, identity, or reliability. Any agreement formed between users is solely between those users. We expressly disclaim all liability arising from such agreements.

- You must have full legal capacity to enter binding contracts in your jurisdiction.
- You must not be subject to trade sanctions, export controls, or embargoes under any applicable law.
- If you are using the Platform on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business.
- We reserve the right to refuse access to any person for any reason at any time.
5. User Accounts
You are solely responsible for all activity under your account. You must keep credentials confidential and notify us immediately at Bountyunlimitedinc@gmail.com of any unauthorised access. We are not liable for losses caused by your failure to secure your account.
We may suspend or terminate any account at our sole discretion, with or without notice, for any reason including violation of these Terms. Terminated users may not register new accounts without written permission. Upon termination, all licences granted to you cease immediately.
6. Bounty Listings, Payments & Escrow
6.1 Escrow — Not a Financial Institution
When a Poster funds a bounty, payment is processed exclusively through Stripe. Bounty is not a bank, licensed escrow agent, money services business, or payment processor. We are a technology layer that integrates with Stripe. All funds are subject to Stripe's terms. We have no control over Stripe's availability, freezes, reversals, or compliance decisions and accept no liability for them.
6.2 Platform Fees
Free users pay an 8% platform fee on the total bounty reward, collected at checkout as part of the amount charged. Pro Members pay 0% platform fee. The fee discount applies only while a Pro subscription is active and in good standing. All platform fees are non-refundable under any circumstances, except where strictly required by applicable law.
6.3 Payouts
Hunters must connect a valid Stripe Connect account to receive payouts. Payouts are initiated only after the Poster explicitly approves submitted work through the Platform. We are not liable for: Stripe delays or failures; payout reversals; frozen accounts; or a Poster's failure or refusal to approve work. We cannot compel a Poster to approve or pay.
You are solely responsible for all taxes on income earned through the Platform. We do not withhold taxes, issue tax forms (except where legally required), or provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional.
6.4 Refund Policy — Bounty Escrow
Refunds on bounty escrow may be considered only if all of the following conditions are met: (a) no work submissions have been received; (b) no application has been accepted; (c) the request is made within 30 days of payment. Platform fees are never refundable. All refund decisions are at our sole and absolute discretion. We reserve the right to deny any refund request.
6.5 Disputes Between Users
Bounty does not mediate, arbitrate, or resolve disputes between Posters and Hunters. We have no obligation to intervene. We may, at our sole discretion, suspend accounts or take other platform-level actions, but provide no guarantee of any outcome. All unresolved disputes are the sole responsibility of the parties involved. We strongly encourage users to communicate clearly before engaging and to document all agreements.
6.6 Prohibited Bounties
You may not post bounties that request illegal activities, academic dishonesty, plagiarism, cheating, circumvention of third-party terms, creation of misleading content, or any activity that violates applicable law. We may remove any bounty at our sole discretion without notice or refund.
7. Pro Membership
7.1 Subscription & Billing
Pro membership is currently priced at $35.00 USD per month and is billed on a recurring monthly basis through Stripe. Your subscription auto-renews on the same calendar date each month unless cancelled. By subscribing, you authorise Bounty to charge your payment method on file each renewal period.
7.2 Pro Features
An active Pro subscription provides access to the following features, each subject to these Terms:
- 0% platform fee: The 8% platform fee is waived on all bounties funded while your Pro subscription is active. The fee waiver applies only during active subscription periods and does not apply retroactively.
- 24-hour early access: Pro Members may view and apply to new bounty listings during the first 24 hours after posting, before they become visible to free users. We do not guarantee the availability or number of bounties at any time.
- Pro badge: A visual badge displayed on your public profile and alongside your name in applicant lists. The badge is cosmetic only and does not constitute endorsement, verification, or any warranty regarding your skills or identity.
- Priority placement: Pro Hunter applications are displayed above non-Pro applications in a Poster's applicant list. Priority placement does not guarantee selection, acceptance, or any outcome.
- Featured bounty boost: Bounties posted by Pro Members are sorted ahead of non-Pro bounties on the listings page. Boost is cosmetic only and does not guarantee views, applications, or outcomes.
- Custom profile banner: Pro Members may upload a banner image to their public profile. Banner images must comply with Section 11 (Prohibited Conduct) and our content standards. We may remove any banner at our sole discretion.
- Pro-only community access: Access to a private community and exclusive bounty drops available only to active Pro Members. Community access ceases immediately upon subscription cancellation or expiry.
- Priority support: Pro Members receive prioritised responses from our support team, targeting a 24-hour response time where possible. This is a best-effort commitment and does not constitute a service level agreement (SLA).
7.3 Feature Changes
We reserve the right to modify, add, discontinue, or replace any Pro feature at any time. We will use reasonable efforts to notify Pro Members of material feature changes with at least 14 days' notice. Removal of a feature does not entitle you to a refund.
7.4 Pricing Changes
We may change the Pro subscription price at any time with at least 30 days' advance notice to your registered email. The new price takes effect on your next renewal date after the notice period. Continued use of your Pro subscription after the price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.
7.5 Cancellation
You may cancel your Pro subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting Bountyunlimitedinc@gmail.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds, partial or otherwise, are issued for unused time remaining in a billing period. Upon cancellation, all Pro features cease at the end of the billing period, including the 0% fee benefit — any bounties funded after cancellation will be subject to standard fees.
7.6 Failed Payments
If a renewal payment fails, we may attempt to retry the charge. If payment is not successfully collected, your Pro subscription will be suspended or cancelled and all Pro features will cease immediately. Outstanding unpaid amounts remain due.
7.7 No Refunds
ALL PRO SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENTS ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE. This includes but is not limited to cases where you did not use Pro features, where features were modified, or where your account was terminated due to a violation of these Terms.
8. Communities
8.1 Creator Responsibility
Community Creators are solely and exclusively responsible for all content, rules, moderation, member conduct, and all activity within their communities. Bounty has no editorial control over community content and bears no responsibility for it. Creators must ensure their communities comply with all applicable laws and these Terms.
8.2 Paid Communities — Billing & Fees
Paid community subscriptions are billed monthly through Stripe and routed directly to the Creator's connected Stripe account, minus a 5% platform fee retained by Bounty. Creators are solely responsible for all taxes on community revenue.
8.3 Member Cancellations — No Refunds
Community members may cancel at any time. Access continues until the end of the current billing period. No refunds are issued for partial billing periods under any circumstances. Bounty is not responsible for issuing refunds for paid community memberships — any refund dispute is between the member and the Creator.
8.4 Community Removal
We reserve the right to remove, suspend, or restrict any community at any time, without notice and without liability, for any reason including violation of these Terms, illegal content, or platform policy changes. No refund of community subscription fees will be issued upon removal.
8.5 Community Features
Communities may include posts, media uploads, comments, reactions, real-time chat, resource libraries, and community bounties. All of these features are subject to these Terms. We may modify, limit, or remove any community feature at any time.
8.6 Community Bounties
Bounties posted within communities are separate from platform-wide bounties. Community bounty rewards are set by the Creator and Bounty takes no responsibility for ensuring payment of such rewards. Community bounties are agreements solely between the Creator and community members.
9. Marketplace & Digital Products
Users may list digital products for sale through the Marketplace. Sellers are solely responsible for the accuracy of product descriptions, legality of their products, and fulfilling purchases.
