The formal rulebook for using Guild as a contributor or company.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Guild (the “Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Platform.

2. Description of Service

Guild is a gamified developer marketplace connecting Adventurers (developers) with Companies (clients) for coding projects called “Quests.” The Platform facilitates project posting, application, completion, and payment processing.

3. User Accounts

3.1 Registration

You must register for an account to use the Platform. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update it as needed.

3.2 Account Types

• Adventurer: Developers who complete Quests and earn XP, rank, and payment
• Company: Clients who post Quests and pay for completed work
• Admin: Platform administrators managing users and Quests

3.3 Account Security

You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at https://adventurersguild.space of any unauthorized use.

4. Quest System

4.1 Posting Quests

Companies may post Quests describing work to be completed. Quests must include clear requirements, deliverables, deadlines, and reward amounts.

4.2 Accepting Quests

Adventurers may apply for or be assigned to Quests based on their rank, skills, and availability. Multi-participant Quests may have multiple Adventurers assigned.

4.3 Quest Completion

Adventurers submit completed work for Company review. Companies may approve, request rework, or reject submissions. Approval triggers XP awards and payment processing.

5. Payments

5.1 Platform Fee

Guild charges a 15% platform fee on all completed Quest payments. The fee is automatically deducted before payout to Adventurers.

5.2 Payment Processing

Payments are processed through Razorpay. Companies pay upon Quest posting or approval. Adventurers receive payouts to linked bank accounts after Quest approval.

5.3 Refunds

Refund requests must be submitted within 7 days of payment. Refunds are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may be issued for incomplete or substandard work.

6. Ranking and XP System

Adventurers earn Experience Points (XP) and Skill Points for completed Quests. XP determines rank (F to S), which affects Quest eligibility. Rankings are calculated automatically based on XP thresholds.

7. Code of Conduct

Users agree to:

• Provide original work and respect intellectual property rights
• Communicate professionally and respectfully
• Meet deadlines and deliver quality work
• Not engage in fraudulent activity or misrepresentation
• Not share account credentials or allow others to use their account

8. Intellectual Property

Upon Quest completion and payment, the Company receives ownership of the delivered code. Adventurers retain no rights to completed work unless otherwise agreed in writing.

9. Limitation of Liability

Guild is provided “as is” without warranties. We are not liable for:

• Disputes between Companies and Adventurers
• Quality or timeliness of delivered work
• Payment failures or processing delays
• Service interruptions or data loss

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms. Users may delete their account at any time through account settings. Termination does not affect completed Quest obligations.

11. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
