1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the MySentiMap platform ("Platform", "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Platform.

These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between you and MySentiMap (ABN 98 716 278 583) ("we", "us", "our"). We may update these Terms from time to time by posting a revised version on this page. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. You must be at least 18 years of age to use this Platform.

2. Nature of the Platform

MySentiMap is a community-driven market information and entertainment platform focused on ASX-listed mining and resources companies. The Platform provides:

  • Publicly available ASX company data, announcements, and market information
  • Community-submitted ratings, opinions, and price predictions (not financial advice)
  • Interactive tools including maps, charts, and sentiment visualisations
  • A prediction game and scoring system for entertainment and educational purposes
  • Competition and leaderboard features using virtual points with no monetary value

MySentiMap is a community information and entertainment service. It is not a financial services business, stockbroker, financial planner, investment adviser, or financial product issuer. MySentiMap does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL).

3. Financial Services Disclaimer

This section describes important limitations on how you may use content from this Platform under Australian law. Please read it in full.

All content on MySentiMap — including but not limited to community predictions, sentiment scores, company ratings, price targets, market commentary, and announcements — is provided as general information only. It does not constitute:

  • Financial product advice (personal or general) within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
  • A recommendation to acquire, hold, or dispose of any financial product
  • An offer or invitation to acquire a financial product
  • Research from a licensed securities analyst

Community-submitted predictions and ratings are the personal opinions of individual users, expressed for entertainment and discussion purposes. They are not verified, endorsed, or approved by MySentiMap. They do not take into account any user's personal financial circumstances, objectives, or needs.

Past prediction performance displayed on the Platform is not a reliable indicator of future accuracy or investment outcomes. Investing in securities involves significant risk, including the possible loss of your entire capital. You should always conduct independent research and consult a qualified, licensed financial adviser before making any investment decision.

Market data sourced from ASX and third-party providers may be delayed, incomplete, or subject to errors. MySentiMap does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any market data displayed on the Platform.

4. Prediction Features & Game System

MySentiMap includes a prediction game that allows registered users to submit price targets for ASX-listed securities and other assets. These features are provided solely for entertainment, educational, and social engagement purposes.

  • Predictions submitted through the Platform are expressions of personal opinion and are not financial advice, investment recommendations, or securities research
  • Submitting a prediction does not constitute trading, dealing in, or acquiring any financial product
  • Prediction accuracy scores, rankings, and leaderboards are game metrics only and do not imply that highly ranked users are skilled investors or licensed financial advisers
  • Users with high "trust levels" or prediction scores have demonstrated historical accuracy within the game — this is a game mechanic and does not make their views more reliable as investment guidance
  • You must not submit predictions based on material non-public information (insider trading) or with intent to create a misleading impression of market activity

By using the prediction features, you acknowledge that your submissions are for game participation purposes only and that no investment decision should be made based on predictions displayed on the Platform.

5. Not Gambling — Virtual Points System

MySentiMap's prediction and competition features do not constitute gambling under Australian law.

The MySentiMap platform operates a virtual points and rewards system ("Points", "Ticks", "XP"). You should be aware of the following:

  • No monetary value: All Points, Ticks, XP, and leaderboard rankings have no monetary or redeemable value whatsoever. They cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred to any financial account, or redeemed for any real-world benefit of monetary value
  • No wagering: Users do not stake, wager, or risk any money when making predictions. There is no buy-in, entry fee, or financial stake associated with any prediction or competition
  • No prize money: No prize of money or money's worth is awarded to any user for prediction performance
  • Entertainment platform: The prediction and competition system is structured as a social game and learning tool, comparable to fantasy sports leagues or trivia platforms

MySentiMap's prediction features do not meet the definition of "gambling" or an "interactive gambling service" under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) or any applicable state or territory gambling legislation, as no real money is wagered and no prize of monetary value is awarded. Premium subscriptions are paid for access to Platform features — they are not entry fees for competitions or prediction events.

6. User Accounts

To access certain features you must register an account. By registering, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information
  • Maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials — do not share your password, 2FA codes, or recovery keys with any other person
  • Notify us immediately at hello@mysentimap.com of any unauthorised access to your account
  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

One account per email address. Each email address may be associated with only one MySentiMap account. Registering multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, bans, or platform rules is prohibited and may result in all associated accounts being terminated.

Email verification. You must verify your email address before you can make predictions, join competitions, or access interactive features. A verification link is sent to the address provided at registration. If you do not receive it, you may request a new link from the login page.

Username. Your username is chosen at registration and is permanent — it cannot be changed after your account is created. Choose carefully, as it appears on leaderboards and your public profile. Usernames must comply with our content standards at all times.

Account visibility. You may hide your account at any time from Settings → Account. A hidden account is invisible to other users and cannot submit predictions, join competitions, send duel challenges, or play Forecast Tower. Your data, XP, and streak are fully preserved. You may reactivate your account at any time by logging in and visiting Settings → Account — reactivation is immediate.

Account security responsibility: You are solely responsible for the security of your account. MySentiMap is not liable for losses or damages arising from unauthorised access to your account where that access results from your use of a weak password, failure to enable 2FA, sharing of credentials, phishing, loss of 2FA recovery codes, or any other action or omission on your part. Enabling two-factor authentication significantly reduces your risk of unauthorised access and is strongly recommended.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are being used fraudulently or in breach of applicable law.

7. User-Generated Content

By posting predictions, ratings, commentary, or other content on the Platform ("User Content"), you:

  • Grant MySentiMap a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable licence to display, reproduce, distribute, aggregate, and otherwise use your User Content in connection with the operation of the Platform and any data products, APIs, or services operated by MySentiMap or its authorised commercial partners
  • Represent that your User Content is your own original opinion and does not infringe any third-party intellectual property or other rights
  • Confirm your User Content does not contain false, misleading, defamatory, or unlawful material
  • Understand that User Content posted publicly is visible to other registered users of the Platform
  • Acknowledge that MySentiMap may aggregate and anonymise your User Content (including predictions, ratings, and sentiment signals) and distribute such aggregated, anonymised data to authorised third-party API partners as part of MySentiMap's commercial data products. Individual users will not be identified in such distributions unless their profile is set to public and they have consented to appear in partner-facing leaderboards
  • Acknowledge that your User Content is an expression of personal opinion only and should not be presented or interpreted as professional financial advice

MySentiMap does not monitor, verify, or endorse User Content. We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms, at our sole discretion and without notice.

8. Prohibited Conduct

You must not use the Platform to:

  • Post false or misleading information about any company, security, or market with intent to influence prices or deceive other users (market manipulation under the Corporations Act 2001)
  • Share material non-public information about any listed company (insider trading)
  • Impersonate any person, company, or licensed financial adviser
  • Represent community opinions as personalised financial advice
  • Post content that is defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening, abusive, or discriminatory toward any person or group
  • Post content that infringes any third-party copyright, trade mark, or other intellectual property right
  • Harass, intimidate, stalk, or harm other users, including by targeting named individuals in predictions or community content
  • Scrape, copy, republish, or commercialise Platform data without our written authorisation
  • Use automated systems to interact with the Platform, including bots, macros, scrapers, browser extensions that auto-submit forms, or scripts that bypass the user interface — API access is available only to authorised Partners under a separate agreement
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any system, account, or infrastructure
  • Violate any applicable Australian law including the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), ASIC Act, or any ASIC regulatory guidance
  • Access the Platform from a jurisdiction subject to US trade sanctions (Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, Cuba) or if you are a person on a US or Australian sanctions list

Third-party links: The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, announcements, or data sources. MySentiMap does not endorse, monitor, or control third-party content and is not responsible for it. Your access to external sites is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Violations may result in immediate account termination, removal of content, and referral to relevant authorities including ASIC, ACCC, or law enforcement.

9. Intellectual Property

The MySentiMap name, logo, platform design, proprietary scoring systems, and software are owned by MySentiMap and protected by Australian intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, or distribute any part of the Platform without our prior written consent.

Market data: Real-time and historical market data is sourced from third-party providers including Yahoo Finance, Twelve Data, and Financial Modeling Prep under licence. This data remains subject to those providers' intellectual property rights and terms of use. MySentiMap makes no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of market data, and you should independently verify any data before making any decision. Attribution: data powered by Twelve Data and Yahoo Finance.

Beta features: Certain Platform features — including the Forecast Tower, the Tipping Competition, and new game modes — are provided in an early-access or beta state. Beta features may be modified, discontinued, or result in loss of progress or virtual items without liability. We will provide at least 14 days' notice before removing a beta feature where practicable.

10. Subscriptions, Payments, Refunds & Virtual Currency

Subscriptions. Certain features require a paid subscription (Solo or Premium). By subscribing you agree to pay all applicable fees, authorise recurring billing, and provide accurate payment information. Subscription fees are charged in Australian Dollars (AUD) inclusive of GST where applicable.

Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account Settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; access to premium features continues until that date. You will not be charged for subsequent billing periods.

Refund Policy — Monthly Subscriptions.

  • 7-day satisfaction refund (goodwill): If you are unsatisfied within the first 7 days of a new subscription and have made limited use of premium features (fewer than 10 predictions submitted and no Ticks spent from that subscription period), you may request a full refund by contacting hello@mysentimap.com. This is a goodwill gesture and does not limit any statutory rights.
  • Faulty or misrepresented service: If the Platform fails to function as described, is unavailable for more than 48 continuous hours in a paid period, or was materially misrepresented at the time of purchase, you are entitled to a refund of the affected billing period under the Australian Consumer Law. There is no time limit on this right.
  • Mid-period cancellation: No pro-rata refund is provided for the unused portion of a billing period when you cancel voluntarily. Your access continues until the period ends.
  • Billing errors: Duplicate charges or unauthorised billing will be refunded immediately upon verification. Contact hello@mysentimap.com.

Refund Policy — Founder Pack (one-time lifetime purchase).

  • 14-day window: Founder Pack purchases may be refunded within 14 days of the transaction date, provided the benefits have not been substantially used (e.g. the discounted subscription rate has not been applied to a billing cycle).
  • After 14 days: Founder Pack purchases are final. The pack is a limited, discounted lifetime product; its value is delivered at purchase.
  • Platform closure: If MySentiMap permanently discontinues the Platform within 12 months of your Founder Pack purchase, we will offer a pro-rata refund based on months of remaining expected service.

Virtual Currency & Points. MySentiMap offers virtual rewards including Points, Ticks, XP, and cosmetic items ("Virtual Items"). You acknowledge that:

  • Virtual Items have no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for cash or any item of monetary value
  • Virtual Items are a feature of the Platform and are not a financial product
  • Ticks and cosmetics in your inventory are not lost if your subscription lapses — they remain on your account
  • Virtual Items purchased in the Ticks Shop are not refundable once delivered to your inventory and confirmed working as described
  • We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue Virtual Items at any time; if we remove a purchased item we will provide reasonable replacement value in Ticks
  • Virtual Items are not transferable between users except through Platform features we expressly enable

How to request a refund: Email hello@mysentimap.com with your account email, the charge date, and a brief description. We aim to respond within 2 business days. Nothing in this policy limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or, where applicable, the consumer protection laws of your country of residence.

10B. Data API & Partner Programme

MySentiMap operates a commercial data API ("Partner API") that provides authorised third-party businesses ("API Partners") with access to aggregated, anonymised community sentiment and prediction data. By using the Platform, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Aggregated data use: We may aggregate predictions, sentiment signals, and community ratings submitted by users (including you) and distribute this aggregated data to authorised API Partners. In all cases, aggregated data is anonymised — individual predictions are not attributed to you by name or user identifier in any API response visible to Partners
  • Leaderboard data: Where your profile visibility is set to "public", your username and game statistics (XP level, prediction count, and accuracy) may appear in leaderboard data provided to enterprise-tier API Partners. You may prevent this at any time by setting your profile to "private" in your account settings
  • No financial advice: All data distributed via the Partner API is community sentiment data provided for general informational and entertainment purposes only. MySentiMap makes no representation that API data is suitable for use in making investment decisions. API Partners are expressly prohibited from presenting MySentiMap data as financial product advice, securities research, or investment recommendations to their own users
  • API Partner obligations: API Partners must comply with MySentiMap's Partner API Terms (provided separately upon API key issuance). API Partners may not re-sell, sublicense, or redistribute raw API data to third parties without MySentiMap's prior written consent
  • API key security: API keys are non-transferable and tied to the Partner entity. Partners are responsible for all usage under their key. Sharing keys with third parties, using keys in violation of the Partner API Terms, or allowing unauthorised access may result in immediate key revocation, account termination, and recovery of any damages caused. MySentiMap may audit API usage and revoke keys without notice where misuse is suspected
  • No endorsement: The existence of the Partner API does not constitute an endorsement of any API Partner's products, services, or investment strategies
  • Data accuracy: Aggregated sentiment data reflects community opinion at a point in time and may be delayed, incomplete, or unrepresentative. MySentiMap does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of data distributed via the Partner API

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, MySentiMap provides the Platform on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to:

  • Warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
  • Warranties that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses
  • Warranties as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any market data, prediction, rating, or user content

Nothing in these Terms excludes consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be lawfully excluded.

12. Limitation of Liability

  • Loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunity
  • Inaccuracies in market data or delays in data delivery
  • Actions of third-party data providers, payment processors, or other users

Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the greater of: (a) the fees you paid to us in the 3 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) AUD $100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for: death or personal injury caused by our negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or any liability that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable legislation.

14. Termination

By you. You may pause your participation at any time by hiding your account from Settings → Account. Hiding is reversible — your data and subscription remain intact and you may reactivate immediately. Permanent account deletion is not currently offered as a self-service feature; if you require full deletion of your personal data, please contact hello@mysentimap.com and we will process your request in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

By us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, for any breach of these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3, 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 16) shall continue in full force.

15. General Provisions

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is severable and does not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce that provision in the future.

Force Majeure: We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, government actions, internet outages, third-party service failures, or pandemics.

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and (for API Partners) the separate Data API & Partner Programme Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and MySentiMap in relation to the Platform and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.

Accessibility: MySentiMap is committed to making the Platform accessible to users with disabilities. We aim for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance. If you experience any accessibility barrier, please contact hello@mysentimap.com and we will endeavour to accommodate your needs or provide an accessible alternative.

Assignment: You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations at any time without notice in connection with a merger, acquisition, or business transfer.

16. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales for any dispute arising under these Terms. This choice of law does not limit any rights you hold under the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence.

17. United States Users

No US Securities Licences Held. MySentiMap is not registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment adviser and is not a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

US Consumer Rights Preserved. This choice of Western Australian governing law does not limit any rights you hold under US federal consumer protection law (including the Federal Trade Commission Act) or the consumer protection laws of your state of residence. To the extent US law grants you greater protections than these Terms, those protections apply.

California Residents (CCPA). If you are a California resident, you have the right to: (a) know what personal information is collected about you; (b) request deletion of your personal information; (c) opt out of any sale of personal information.
