These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between you, as a User (whether an individual or a legal entity), and the operator of the RuPool mining-pool service (the “Platform”, “we”, “us”, “our”), governing access to our services, use of the functionality, and the parties’ responsibilities.
By using the Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accept these Terms. If you do not agree with any provision, you must stop using the Platform and refrain from using our services.
01
About the Platform and nature of services
RuPool is a technical infrastructure that enables Users to participate in pooled mining of various cryptocurrencies. The Platform’s services include access to pools, accounting and distribution of computing power, calculation and payment of rewards, hashrate monitoring, and analytics tools. All features are provided via the web interface and other means offered by the Platform, including API access.
RuPool acts as an aggregator and coordinator of mining capacity, distributing rewards proportionally to each User’s contribution, according to the applied payout model (PPS, PPLNS, or another model defined by the Platform’s administration).
02
Registration and access
To access the Platform’s functionality, the User must register, create an account, review the Privacy Policy, and accept these Terms of Use. The User must be legally capable and at least eighteen (18) years old. The Platform operator reserves the right to refuse registration without explanation if the submitted information appears doubtful in terms of accuracy or legality.
Each User is solely responsible for safeguarding their credentials, including login, password, access keys, wallet address, and any two-factor authentication means. In case of account loss or detection of unauthorized activity, the User agrees to promptly notify support.
03
User rights and obligations
The User agrees to use the Platform strictly in accordance with applicable law, adhere to ethical and technical standards, and refrain from any actions that undermine the stability, security, or integrity of the Platform.
The use of botnets, automated scripts, and manipulation of the reward accounting system is prohibited, including deceptive actions aimed at artificially increasing hashrate or receiving ungrounded payouts. Any such actions constitute a breach of these Terms and may result in suspension or deletion of the account without paying the accrued rewards.
The User is fully responsible for correct configuration of their hardware and software, as well as for accurate wallet details for payouts. In case of misconfiguration that leads to unaccounted hashrate, the Platform may, but is not obliged to, restore unaccounted data for a period no longer than 7 calendar days from the date of the request.
04
Reward calculation and payouts
RuPool uses flexible reward distribution models; the payout method may change without prior notice unless otherwise required by applicable law. All changes are recorded in the user dashboard and take effect upon publication.
Payouts are made in cryptocurrencies supported by the Platform. The reward is formed based on the User’s recorded hashrate, connection time, and share in block discovery. Payouts are made automatically upon reaching the minimum threshold set by the Platform, which may change.
The User acknowledges that rewards depend on many factors, including luck, overall network conditions, pool hashrate, and network difficulty, and cannot be guaranteed. In the event of technical failures, network delays, or hardware outages, payouts may be temporarily suspended until issues are resolved.
05
Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability
The Platform’s operator makes reasonable efforts to ensure reliability and availability but provides no warranties regarding uninterrupted operation, error-free performance, compatibility with the User’s equipment, or predictability of mining outcomes.
The User acknowledges that mining involves risks including, without limitation, cryptocurrency volatility, regulatory restrictions, technical failures, loss of funds due to User error, and external circumstances beyond the Platform’s control.
RuPool is not liable for direct or indirect losses, including lost profits, loss of access to cryptocurrency due to wallet address errors, actions of third parties (including hackers), or consequences arising from the use or inability to use the Platform.
06
Personal data protection
The Platform adheres to principles of processing and storing personal data in accordance with international and national standards. All data provided by the User during registration or while using the Platform is used solely to provide services and may be transferred to third parties only as explicitly required by law or with the User’s consent.
We implement technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or destruction. The User may request deletion or correction of their data, except where retention is required to fulfill obligations to supervisory authorities or to protect the Platform’s interests.
07
Service termination
The Platform reserves the right to unilaterally suspend or terminate services, temporarily or permanently, for reasons including but not limited to: the User’s breach of these Terms, technical threats, force majeure, or at the request of regulators.
If there is no account activity for more than 365 days, the Platform may deem the account inactive, delete it, and void accrued rewards.
08
Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction determined by the Platform operator. Any disputes arising out of this agreement shall first be settled through negotiations. If an agreement cannot be reached, the dispute shall be referred to arbitration at the place of the Platform operator’s registration.
09
Changes to the Terms
RuPool may amend these Terms without prior individual notice. The updated version is published on the Platform’s official website. Continued use of the service after publication constitutes the User’s acceptance of the changes.
10
Final provisions
The User confirms that they have read, understood, and accept these Terms, as well as the Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of this agreement. If any provision of this document is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in force. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations under this agreement without the other party’s written consent, except in cases of business transfer or merger.
