Recitals

  • WHEREAS, Pawns.app has developed an Application that enables Users to share their internet traffic via their device with Pawns.app and its Clients. The User’s device becomes a gateway which allows Pawns.app to send and receive internet traffic. This traffic is used by Pawns.app and its Clients.
  • WHEREAS, Pawns.app enables Users to sell shared internet traffic by modifying their device’s network settings to be used as a gateway for internet traffic. Additionally, the User’s device acts as a gateway for Pawns.app’s Clients, including companies that specialize in web and market research, SEO, brand protection, content delivery, cybersecurity, etc.
  • WHEREAS, by installing the Application and agreeing to this Agreement, the User desires to monetize their internet traffic.

NOW, THEREFORE, considering the foregoing and the included mutual promises in this document, and for other good and valuable consideration, the reception and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, both Parties hereby agree to the following:

Table of definitions

Application – the latest version of the Application made available by Pawns.app to the User pursuant to this Agreement, along with any software (source code and object code), programs, libraries, tools, APIs, files, data, Application specification, documentation, updates, upgrades, bug fixes, new releases, patches, and new versions of any of the foregoing which may be made available by Pawns.app to the User pursuant to this Agreement.

Dashboard – the main communication channel between Pawns.app and the Users that is used to convey relevant information in relation to the Application, such as Earnings, pricing, crucial notices, etc.

User – the individual that provides Shared traffic through their devices with Pawns.app (and/or Clients) in exchange for Earnings.

Shared traffic – the internet traffic that the User has shared with Pawns.app (and/or Clients) through the User’s device.

Earnings – the amount calculated according to the pricing rules established in this Agreement and payable to the User by Pawns.app.

Clients – business Clients and associates of Pawns.app that use the Shared traffic for numerous business purposes – gathering data from the web, market analysis, talent acquisition, brand protection, etc.

Pawns.app

By installing the Application and agreeing to the terms described in this Agreement, the User becomes a part of the Pawns.app network of Users who share their internet traffic with Pawns.app in exchange for Earnings.

Becoming a part of thePawns.app network confirms that the User shares their internet traffic willingly with Pawns.app and Clients. Clients do not know which specific User is sharing the internet traffic they’re using, nor do the User knows which Client is using their internet traffic. The Client requests traffic that can be shared from a particular country (i.e., Germany) or a specific region (i.e., Europe). Pawns.app can either grant or decline these requests based on the quantity, location, and/or functionality options of Users that engage in Pawns.app’s network at that time.

In accordance with the above, this also means that it’s not possible for all Users to share the exact same amount of traffic with Pawns.app and Clients. The amount of traffic a User can share depends on the demand for the User’s traffic.

This also means that Pawns.app retains the right to restrict the sharing of internet traffic of certain Users in case there’s a surplus of internet traffic supply from a specific location. This is done to protect the Pawns.app network from overutilization. To ensure the quality of internet traffic delivered to Clients, as well as to maximize the possible profit for Users, Pawns.app limits the number of devices per single IP address to one. Pawns.app may additionally limit the usage of certain IP address types connected to the Pawns.app network. These limitations are subject to change and are always disclosed by Pawns.app. The User can access and use the Application only with a valid residential IP address. Pawns.app does not allow Users to utilize any servers, VPNs, or proxy services with the Application.

By using the Application and agreeing to the terms stated in this Agreement, the User agrees that Shared traffic can be used by businesses with different business cases. Some of these use cases can include advertisement verification, which could result in the User getting specific ads while browsing the internet. Other Clients can gather data from the internet, which might result in Users getting CAPTCHA prompts when accessing certain websites. Some Clients may use the service to access and/or provide streaming and similar services. There’s a slight possibility that the User has a specific streaming service account, and a Client utilizes the User’s device as an exit gateway for the same platform. In this case, the User shall not be able to access the service for a limited period. Pawns.app puts in a lot of effort to prevent any similar situations. However, the Users have to bear some risks of inability to use their device or a specific service for some time or limited ability to share internet traffic, as well as risks caused by potential incompliance with local laws, regulations, or agreements with any third parties.
