Use of the Website

• Eligibility:You must be at least 13 years old to use BountyHub. If you are under 18, you must have the permission of a parent or guardian to use our services.

• Account:You must create an account to use certain features of BountyHub. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and for all activities that occur under your account.

Placing Bounties

• Fees:Bounty creators agree to pay an additional 15% fee on top of the bounty amount. For example, if the bounty is $100, the total cost will be $115.

• Refunds:If no claim is made on a bounty or all claims are rejected, the bounty creator can retract the bounty and be refunded the bounty amount, excluding the 15% fee.

• Responsibilities:Bounty creators must ensure that the issues they post are legitimate and clearly defined.

Solving Bounties

• Claims: Bounty solvers must submit a URL of a pull request that solves the bounty. If the pull request is not merged, solvers must wait until it is merged to refresh the claim.

• Payment: Once a pull request is merged and the bounty creator accepts the claim, the solver will receive the bounty amount minus any transaction fees.

• Disputes: If the bounty creator rejects a claim, the solver can create a dispute. Disputes will be manually verified by BountyHub to determine if the bounty has been truly solved.
