1. AGREEMENT TO TERMS

These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you") and HayAlpha ("we," "us," or "our"), concerning your access to and use of the HayAlpha platform, including our mobile application, website, and any related media forms, media channels, mobile websites, or streaming services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are expressly prohibited from using the Service and must discontinue use immediately. Supplemental terms or policies that may be posted on the HayAlpha platform from time to time are hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference. We reserve the right to modify or update these Terms of Service at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion. We will notify you of changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of these Terms of Service. You waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change, other than as provided here or on the Service itself. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms of Service to stay informed about updates. Continued use of the Service after updated Terms have been posted indicates your acceptance of the changes. The Service is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in jurisdictions or countries where such distribution or use is contrary to law or regulation or would subject us to any legal requirements in those jurisdictions or countries. By choosing to access the Service from outside of our primary operational region, you acknowledge that you are doing so on your own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. The Service is designed for users who are at least 18 years old. If you are under the age of 18, you must have the explicit consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian to use the Service. Your parent or guardian must review and agree to these Terms of Service on your behalf before you access the Service.
