3. Service Description

Bounty SMP is a competitive Minecraft server focused on esports and community gameplay. The platform allows community members to voluntarily support the server through donations, which may be used to fund bounties. These bounties serve as incentives for skilled gameplay and create exciting competitive scenarios, but they are not guaranteed rewards or winnings.

The server operates on a donation-based model where all contributions are voluntary and used to enhance the gaming experience for the community. No purchase or payment is ever required to participate in or enjoy the server's features.

4. No Refunds

All payments made to Bounty SMP, including but not limited to donations, bounty placements, or other contributions, are strictly NON-REFUNDABLE. By making a payment, you acknowledge and agree that you are making a voluntary contribution to support the Server with no expectation of return, and that you will not receive any goods, services, or other consideration in exchange for your payment unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing by Bounty SMP.

5. No Gambling

Bounty SMP is not a gambling service. The placement of bounties and receipt of payments are not games of chance. All bounties are awarded based on skill and in-game achievements, not random chance. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that you are not engaging in gambling activities and that Bounty SMP bears no responsibility or liability for any losses incurred through the use of the Services.
