Mobile End-User License Agreement / Mobile App End User Terms
BY CLICKING THE “ACCEPT” BUTTON OR DOWNLOADING OR USING THE PLAY PASSPHRASE MOBILE APPLICATION (EACH AN “APP”) OR SIGNING UP FOR A USER/MEMBER ACCOUNT ON PLAYPASSPHRASE.COM, YOU ARE ENTERING INTO AND AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THESE MOBILE APP END USER TERMS AND WEBSITE TERMS, IN ADDITION TO THE GENERAL TERMS OF SERVICE, PRIVACY POLICY, AND ANY OTHER TERMS THAT MAY APPLY. CAPITALIZED WORDS OR PHRASES NOT DEFINED IN THESE TERMS HAVE THE MEANING GIVEN TO THEM IN THE GENERAL TERMS OF SERVICE.
1. LICENSE GRANT
1.1 Passphrase grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferrable, limited right to install and use the App on a mobile telephone or other device controlled by you (each a “Mobile Device”), and to access and use the Services on such Mobile Device strictly in accordance with the Passphrase General Terms of Service for the purposes Passphrase makes such Services available.
1.2 Abuse and/or Conduct - You agree to be solely liable for any content you post and are prohibited from posting anything that is racist, threatening derogatory, profane or harmful to other users. Offensive content will only be accepted at the discretion of the community and Passphrase Use your best judgement when posting.
1.3 The Service - The messaging and notifications services provided by Passphrase are provided on an as-is basis and Passphrase cannot guarantee or predict deliverability due to underlying factors of the various messaging platforms that are out of Passphrase's control. In addition, cell signals, wifi signals and networks can also have a major impact on the deliverability of messages and notifications, which is why Passphrase created the real-time Live Notifications Feed. See other terms regarding Passphrase's primary messaging channels:
1) SMS Text Message - Telephone and Cell phone Carriers ultimately control the deliverability of text messages "to" a recipient. So while Passphrase allows and enables you to "send" an SMS Text Message it cannot fully guarantee that the Carrier will always allow that Text Message to reach the recipient's phone. We do, however, build in all sorts of validation and verification efforts to scan phone numbers periodically (prior to sending), as well as the ability to include a verification link and/or unique tracking link in the text messages to help track deliverability.
2) Push Notifications and Rich Push Notifications - Apple and Google both control the ability to deliver and receive push notifications on iOS and Android Cell Phones, Tablets and Devices. There is no guarantee of time or speed regarding delivery and Apple themselves state that various factors like how busy their networks may be can factor into this.
3) Email - Email is extremely unpredictable, unreliable and highly regulated by CAN SPAM laws. Passphrase seeks to provide a service that helps users and members with Email Deliverability, but this in no way is a guarantee of performance. Network and Servers from the side of the sender can adversely impact messaging, but also on the side of the recipient.
1.4 Promotions & Offers - Passphrase may at any time adjust, modify or change the terms of a published offer. You agree to check the playpassphrase.com website and/or Passphrase Mobile Apps from time to time, as well as Passphrase's own notifications and alerts to find out such changes. The free messaging credits promotions requires that you have to actually use a small percentage (10% approximately) of your free messaging credits to keep your account active. We will email you prior to terminating your account because of inactivity in advance to give you a change to bring your account back active.
The reserve shares (or Free Shares Promotion for the first 10,000 Members) requires that you must be actively opted-in to the Passphrase Newsletter and general website (and Passphrase mobile app) system updates and notifications in order to receive pertinent and important information about your reserve shares that may affect the overall amount of outstanding reserve shares.
If your engagement is inactive for more than 2 consecutive months, Passphrase reserves the right to reclaim and redistribute your shares without notice. In addition, reserve shares that are converted to actual shares do not contain voting rights of any kind.
Free AppWraprs - the free AppWraprs promotion is provided on an as-is basis. Customers must give us written approval by email or letter to publish their App(s) in both App Stores, as well as use their logos, branding and likeness. AppWraprs are not guaranteed to be published in either App Store because both Apple and Google reserve the right to reject or remove Apps at any time for various reasons beyond our control. The performance of Apps can vary for the free promotion due to server resources and limitations. Customer agrees to not hold Passphrase or AppWrapr liable for any related or unrelated damages associated with their AppWraprs (ie. Mobile Apps) or the back-end Admin that helps power AppWrapr Apps.
Your position in/on the Wait List is not guaranteed because the Wait List is designed to change as Customers earn additional +bump points or choose to expedite their AppWrapr Orders.
For the AppWrapr Free Shares Promotion: Your AppWrapr must be published and active in both App Stores for 60 days for your Equity Shares to be fully vested and transferred into your ownership.
For the Passphrase Free Shares Promotion: In addition to the above, you must complete all your basic Profile Information, make at least one status update and get at least 3 followers to fully vest your free equity shares.
We're going to probably get some things wrong with this $1B Promotion and our Profit-Sharing Program, so by signing up and using Passphrase, AppWrapr and our services, you agree that we can correct minor calculation mistakes and terminology to reconcile any numerical mistakes regarding the program and promotions.
1.5 Referral Program for Referrals, Affiliates, Partners (herein referred to as "Partners") - Partners are currently entitled to 50% commission on all Cloud-related revenue - meaning revenue earned from Passphrasex.com. This includes Message Credits. Partners are also entitled to 50% commission on all white-label (ie. fully branded) mobile apps.
The Referral Program does not include various special promotions, any of the Passphrase BETA promotions or the custom email server option at this time because we don't want to add additional margin (ie. cost to the end-customer) to the already existing higher setup costs associated with getting this add-on option initially setup.
Partners earn 50% of revenues earned from Customers they refer for the life of the company. Currently, Partners can also earn 1,000 equity shares in Passphrase (as a company) for every $1 they refer. The total outstanding shares is 250,000,000. If charge backs occur, the shares earned as a result will be invalid. If Passphrase is acquired or sold, Partners will receive a payout based on their percentage of equity earned. Partners will also receive a monthly payout based on their percentage of equity earned of all non-referral based revenue (capped at 50% for all Partners).

Passphrase cannot guarantee that the results will always be consistent or 100% accurate based on the underlying nature of the necessary technology involved, which is out of Passphrase's control. However, Passphrase will make its best efforts to provide and administer the Passphrase Challenge(s) feature and service as an entertainment-first based service.
You agree to not hold Passphrase liable for any such mistakes resulting to the underlying technology required to provide the Passphrase Services. In addition, you agree that Passphrase may audit and correct any amounts of coins spent as entry fees or as pending payouts if Passphrase finds that a system error has occurred and created a mis-reporting of a Winner or Winners.
4.2 Passphrase Challenge(s) are skill-based contests and hence are not giveaways, sweepstakes, lotteries, raffles or any kind of instrument with consideration. Users (ie. Players) play at your own risk and you agree to not hold Passphrase liable for anything resulting from or ensuing from the Passphrase Challenge(s) service or feature.
4.3 Payouts - Passphrase does not guarantee the delivery of funds from a won Challenge in any specific amount of time, as there are many variables that factor into payouts, such as the many payment platforms we use in conjunction with which of those platforms the user (player) uses or has active accounts at also.
4.4 Passphrase requires a 1099-MISC to be filled out and returned to Passphrase in order to receive payouts of winnings that are $600 or more per IRS regulations.
See IRS Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Information.
4.5 User agrees that Passphrase has the express right to audit, correct and/or possibly deny a winning result if such result is found to have been influenced by fraud or a user attempting to altar, hack or change the Passphrase system, database, domain, website, code, functions, etc.

4.9 IRS Requirements and Reporting - For prizes $600 and over we require a W9 to be filled out by the Winner and/or Challenge Creator and submitted to payments@playpassphrase.com before you receive your prize distribution.
In addition, any Individuals earning and/or winning $600 or more in any calendar year are required to submit a W9 to Passphrase (Passphrase) as permitted by the IRS. You then will be required to report such income with a 1099-MISC form.
Once you are close to earning a sum total of $600 in any calendar year, we'll reach out to you to get the W9 process started and if you do not submit a W9 in a timely fashion you agree that we reserve the express right to immediately suspend and/or terminate your member account.
4.10 PR, Social Media, Publicity - You agree that Passphrase may use your first name and @username and the prize amount you won on our various Social Media accounts for promotional purposes. We may ask you for your permission to use your likeness (ie. profile image thumbnail as well), but this is not required per these terms.
4.11 Official Rules - Passphrase Challenges are skilled-based contents or games. An entry-fee in Passphrase Coins is required to play, however there may be Challenges where no entry-fee is required, which are more promotional in nature. The following is currently how the contests are constructed:
1. Join a Passphrase Challenge (or join many). Entry fees (in Coins) are automatically deducted./p>
2. When a Challenge reaches the target number of Players / Participants, then Notifications are sent with the Go-Live time. Note: Notifications may be sent out via Email, SMS Text Message, Push Notification and/or posted to Passphrase’s Social Feed or various Social Media Accounts, but Notifications are not guaranteed to be delivered or arrive. Challenge Statuses are also posted on the individual Challenge pages as well, including refresh buttons to always get the latest status and status updates.
3. Once a Challenge goes Live (ie. the Go-Live), then the secret Challenge-Question will be revealed (on the Challenge page) - you’ll then have 20 seconds to enter the correct PassPhase/Answer.
If you enter a 100%* correct passphrase before anyone else does, then you’ll win the Prize Money for that Challenge, although some Challenges are easier and may require less than 100% accuracy to win.
You may also choose to create your own Passphrase Challenges and if you do, then you will be able to set the value (ie. prize amount) of your Challenge’s Prize. If your Challenge reaches its minimum target of Players/Participants and is successfully solved then you will earn 50% (of the Prize Amount/Value).
Any winnings or earnings will be processed on average in 5-7 days, but may take as much as 14 days to process due to auditing, review, fraud-prevention and verifications of the authenticity of Players submissions and Players themselves.
You may choose to optionally enroll in a VIP Membership, which entitles you to same-day and/or instant payouts, which are processed in an expedited fashion, however, if there is any detection of fraud with a Challenge or your submission, then you agree that Passphrase may delay the payout to properly review, authenticate and verify the veracity of the Challenge.
Additionally, some Players/Participants may withdraw because they cannot make your Go-Live Time. In this event, those Entry Fees associated with withdrawn players will be deducted from your payout.
