Before you trade, create markets, or use the BlockForecast API, you agree to the Terms of Service. This page gives you a plain-English summary of the most important points. It does not replace the full legal text — the authoritative version is always the document published at blockforecast.io/terms.
This page is a summary for orientation purposes only. The full Terms of Service at blockforecast.io/terms is the legally binding document. If there is any conflict between this summary and the full text, the full text controls.

Key points

​
Who can use BlockForecast

BlockForecast is available globally, but access is restricted in certain jurisdictions where operating a decentralized prediction market would be legally problematic. The full list of restricted countries is maintained in the Terms of Service at blockforecast.io/terms. This list may change as the regulatory environment evolves.
If you are located in a restricted jurisdiction, you are not permitted to use the platform. Using a VPN to circumvent geo-restrictions is also prohibited under the Terms and may result in account termination and forfeiture of funds.

​
Acceptable use

You agree to use BlockForecast only for lawful purposes. Prohibited uses include, but are not limited to:
  • Attempting to manipulate market outcomes
  • Using the platform to launder funds or circumvent sanctions
  • Bypassing geo-restrictions via VPN or proxy
  • Automated activity that violates the API rate limits or scrapes the platform without authorization
  • Creating markets with the intent to mislead or defraud other users

​
Market creator responsibilities

If you are an approved creator, you take on additional responsibilities under the Terms. These include:
  • Listing markets with clear, unambiguous resolution criteria
  • Ensuring your markets resolve against verifiable public sources
  • Not creating markets where you have a material conflict of interest that could affect resolution
  • Following the platform’s content guidelines for acceptable market topics
Creator fees (0.5% of each trade) are earned subject to compliance with these responsibilities. BlockForecast may suspend or terminate creator access for violations.

​
AI oracle and resolution

Markets on BlockForecast resolve through the multi-agent AI oracle. You acknowledge that:
  • Resolution is automated by default — there is no guarantee of manual review
  • The oracle’s outcome is final unless a valid dispute is raised under the Resolution Policy
  • BlockForecast’s decision on any manual override is final

​
Intellectual property

BlockForecast owns the platform, its software, and its documentation. You retain rights to the content you submit (e.g. market descriptions), but you grant BlockForecast a license to display and process that content on the platform.

​
Limitation of liability

BlockForecast’s liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. The platform is provided as-is. Trading prediction markets involves financial risk — you may lose the funds you trade.
