Prediction Markets Terms of Service

These Prediction Markets Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the website axis.inc and related services, software, templates, and documentation made available for the operation of prediction market products (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, or clicking to accept, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

These Terms apply specifically to Customers using the Platform to launch or operate prediction market Customer Site(s). Where you also use the Platform for other product verticals (such as sportsbook, casino, lottery, poker, or pack ripping products), the Terms of Service applicable to those verticals govern those products, and these Terms govern your prediction market products. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Company's general Terms of Service, these Terms control with respect to prediction market products.

• Company: Axis Platforms, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the United States.
• Platform: The technology, software, templates, dashboards, and tools provided by the Company via the Services.
• Customer or You: The person or entity subscribing to the Services to build and operate a branded prediction market site using our whitelabel templates.
• Customer Site(s): Any prediction market or related website(s) or application(s) you launch or operate using the Platform.
• End User(s): Users, traders, participants, or visitors of your Customer Site(s).
• Event Contract: A contract, market, or instrument offered on a Customer Site whose value or payout is determined by the occurrence, outcome, or measurement of a specified future event, however styled (including binary contracts, yes/no markets, scalar markets, or categorical markets).

The Company provides whitelabel prediction market website templates and related technology infrastructure that Customers may configure to launch branded prediction market Customer Site(s). The Company is a technology provider only. The Company does not:

Features may include theming, content management, market creation and management tooling, integration options, account tools, analytics, and administrative dashboards. Features and availability may change from time to time. The availability of a feature within the Platform does not constitute a representation that its use is lawful in any jurisdiction.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Regulatory Classification & Legality: Event Contracts may be regulated as derivatives, swaps, futures, gaming, gambling, sweepstakes, securities, or otherwise depending on their design and the jurisdictions in which they are offered.

• Licensing & Registration: You are solely responsible for obtaining, maintaining, and displaying all required licenses, registrations, designations, permits, and approvals for your operation, including where applicable CFTC registration or designation (e.g., DCM, SEF, DCO, FCM status), state or tribal gaming licenses, money transmission licenses, or equivalent authorizations in non-U.S. jurisdictions.
