Terms & Conditions.

The Stunt, operated by Hot Take LLC

Effective Date: May 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("you," "User," or "Player") and Hot Take LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), the operator of The Stunt (the "App," "Service," or "Platform"). By downloading, accessing, registering for, depositing funds into, or using the App in any way, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. Material changes will be communicated through the App or by email.

2. Eligibility

To use the App and participate in any paid contest, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher);
  • Be a legal resident of, and physically located in, a jurisdiction where participation in skill-based contests for cash prizes is permitted by law;
  • Not be a resident of, or located in, any jurisdiction that prohibits this type of contest;
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract;
  • Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information;
  • Not be an employee, officer, director, contractor, or immediate family member of the Company or any affiliate involved in the operation of contests.

We reserve the right to require proof of age, identity, and location at any time. Failure or refusal to provide verification may result in suspension or termination of your account and forfeiture of any pending winnings.

3. Account Registration and Security

You may register only one (1) account. Multiple accounts, shared accounts, or accounts operated on behalf of another person are strictly prohibited and will be closed. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at team@thestunt.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate any account at our sole discretion for any reason, including suspected fraud, collusion, multi-accounting, abusive behavior, or breach of these Terms.

4. Contests Offered

The App offers skill-based trivia contests. Categories of contests currently include, but are not limited to:

  • Speed Trivia: You have 7 seconds to answer each question. Answer as many as you can in 60 seconds total. Wrong answers do not end the game, keep going.
  • Hot Streak Trivia: You have 7 seconds to answer each question. One wrong answer ends your game. Unlimited questions, keep going until you miss.
  • Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Challenges: Private head-to-head matches between two users. Format follows the same rules as the underlying contest type but is conducted privately between selected participants for a wager set by the players.

All contests are determined predominantly by skill, including knowledge, speed, accuracy, and strategy.

5. Contest Rules, Prizes, and Entries

The specific rules for each paid contest (including but not limited to entry fee, prize amount, prize breakdown, total prize pool, maximum number of entries per user, total entry cap, start date, end date, and eligible categories) are displayed in the App at the point of entry. By entering any contest, you agree to be bound by those posted rules in addition to these Terms. In the event of a conflict, the rules posted in the App for that specific contest control.

Multiple entries are permitted where indicated. When multiple entries are allowed in a contest, all scores from your entries are added together for leaderboard purposes.

Leaderboard standings determine prize winners. Ties are broken according to tiebreaker rules posted with the specific contest, or, if none are posted, by earliest qualifying submission time.

We reserve the right to cancel, modify, suspend, or shorten any contest at our sole discretion, including for technical issues, suspected fraud, low participation, regulatory considerations, or force majeure. If a contest is canceled before completion, entry fees may be refunded in our reasonable discretion.

6. Deposits, Wallet, and Withdrawals

6.1 Deposits

You may add funds to your in-app wallet using approved payment methods. By making a deposit, you represent that you are the lawful holder of the payment instrument used. All deposits are final.

6.2 Deposits Are Not Refundable or Withdrawable

Deposited funds cannot be withdrawn. Only contest winnings are eligible for withdrawal. Once funds are deposited into your wallet, they may be used solely to enter contests on the App. Deposits are non-refundable except as expressly required by applicable law or in our sole discretion. Cash prizes and other winnings credited to your wallet may be withdrawn subject to verification and the withdrawal terms below.

6.3 Withdrawals

Winnings may be withdrawn to a verified payment method linked to your account. Withdrawal requests are subject to identity verification, location verification, fraud review, and minimum withdrawal thresholds posted in the App.

Withdrawals can take time to process. Processing times vary based on payment processor, banking partners, verification status, and applicable fraud and compliance review. Typical processing windows are displayed in the App, but actual times may be longer. We are not liable for delays caused by third-party processors, financial institutions, or required compliance reviews.

6.4 Inactive Accounts

Accounts with no login activity for an extended period may be flagged as inactive. We may apply administrative fees or escheat dormant balances to the extent required or permitted by applicable law.

6.5 Taxes

You are solely responsible for any federal, state, or local taxes owed on winnings. Where required by law, we will issue tax forms (e.g., IRS Form 1099) and may withhold required taxes from winnings.

7. Identity and Location Verification

You may be required to verify your identity and/or your physical location at any time. This may include providing a government-issued photo ID, proof of address, date of birth, Social Security Number (last four digits) or other tax identifier, and enabling device location services. We use third-party verification providers (e.g., identity verification, geolocation compliance, and anti-fraud vendors) to confirm eligibility. Refusal to complete verification, or failure of verification, may result in account suspension, contest disqualification, and forfeiture of any pending or future winnings tied to unverified activity.

You consent to the collection, processing, and sharing of information necessary to perform these checks as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. User Conduct and Prohibited Activity

You agree not to, and not to attempt to:

  • Cheat, collude with other players, use bots, scripts, automated tools, or any unauthorized software or hardware to gain an unfair advantage;
  • Open or operate more than one account, or play on behalf of another person;
  • Provide false, inaccurate, or misleading information during registration, verification, or withdrawal;
  • Engage in money laundering, fraud, chargeback abuse, or use of stolen or unauthorized payment instruments;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to extract source code, question banks, answers, or any underlying data from the App;
  • Interfere with, disrupt, overload, or compromise the security of the App or its infrastructure;
  • Use a VPN, proxy, location spoofing tool, or any technology designed to misrepresent your physical location;
  • Harass, threaten, defame, or abuse other users, our staff, or any third party;
  • Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right in connection with your use of the App.

Violation of any of the above may result in immediate account termination, forfeiture of deposits and winnings, and referral to law enforcement where appropriate.

9. Social Content, Audio, and Community Standards

The App may include social features such as profiles, follower relationships, messaging, voice/audio rooms, or other user-generated content (collectively, "User Content"). You are solely responsible for the User Content you post.

All User Content (including text, images, video, audio, voice messages, and any other communications) must comply with our Community Rules. Among other things, you must not post or transmit content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit, exploitative of minors, defamatory, infringing, fraudulent, contains malware, or otherwise objectionable, as determined by us in our sole discretion.

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, moderate, remove, or restrict any User Content at any time without notice. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate Community Rules.

By submitting User Content, you grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, and create derivative works of that content for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the App.

10. Intellectual Property

The App, its design, software, code, trademarks, logos, question content, graphics, and all other materials provided through the Service are owned by or licensed to the Company and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You receive a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the App solely for its intended purpose. No other rights are granted.

11. Disclaimers

The App is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, uninterrupted access, or freedom from errors. We do not warrant that the App will be secure, error-free, or available at all times, or that any defects will be corrected.

Trivia questions and answers are believed to be accurate but may contain errors. Disputes regarding question accuracy will be resolved in our reasonable discretion, and our determination is final.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will the Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to the App or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid to us in net entry fees in the six (6) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the App, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

14. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the App immediately ceases. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

You may close your account at any time by contacting team@thestunt.com. Any remaining withdrawable winnings will be paid out subject to verification and the withdrawal terms above. Non-withdrawable deposit balances are forfeited upon voluntary account closure.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the arbitration provision below, the state and federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to arbitration.

15.1 Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. Except for claims that may be brought in small claims court, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Miami-Dade County, Florida, or by remote/telephonic means at the arbitrator's discretion.

15.2 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Disputes must be brought in your individual capacity only.

15.3 Opt-Out

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending written notice to team@thestunt.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account email, and an unambiguous statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration.

16. Responsible Play

Play responsibly. Never wager more than you can afford to lose. If you or someone you know may have a problem with compulsive play, help is available through the National Council on Problem Gambling: 1-800-GAMBLER. You may also contact team@thestunt.com to request a self-exclusion or deposit/play limits on your account.

17. Mobile Platforms and Third-Party Services

If you access the App through a third-party platform (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play), you also agree to that platform's applicable terms. These Terms are between you and the Company, not with Apple, Google, or any other platform provider, and those providers are not responsible for the App, its content, or any support obligations.

18. Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, labor disputes, government actions, network or power outages, third-party service disruptions, pandemics, or cybersecurity incidents.

19. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any contest-specific rules posted in the App, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them at any time.
