5. Participation Fees — Not Wagers
All fees payable to participate in any competitive mode are strictly participation fees — consideration for the contractual right to access a skill-based esports contest. Participation Fees do not constitute: a wager, bet, stake, or gambling deposit; an entry fee within the meaning of any real-money gaming legislation including India's PROGA 2025; or a financial instrument of any kind.
All competitive outcomes on the Platform are determined exclusively and entirely by player skill, cricket strategy, and in-game execution. The Platform does not employ any random number generator, chance mechanism, or probability-weighted outcome system.
6. CPL Token — Utility Asset Terms
CPL Tokens are utility tokens primarily designed and issued for in-platform use within the CPL Games ecosystem. While the Company does not operate, endorse, or guarantee any secondary market, CPL Tokens — as blockchain-based assets on the opBNB network — are technically capable of being transferred between compatible wallet addresses and may, at the Company's discretion or through third-party market development, become tradeable on external exchanges.
Any such transferability on third-party platforms: (a) is not operated, controlled, or guaranteed by the Company; (b) does not alter the primary characterisation of CPL Tokens as in-platform utility tokens; (c) does not constitute a financial instrument or investment product; and (d) is subject to all applicable laws in the relevant jurisdiction — for which the User is solely responsible.
The Company does not assign or guarantee any monetary value to CPL Tokens in connection with their issuance or in-platform use. To the extent that CPL Tokens acquire market value through third-party secondary trading, such value is determined by market forces entirely outside the Company's control, is not created or endorsed by the Company, and may decrease to zero.
CPL Token Contract (opBNB Mainnet):
7. CPL NFT Player Cards — Ownership Rights
CPL Games NFT Player Cards are blockchain-verified digital representations of cricket player cards — each embodying specific player skills, attributes, and in-game assets — permanently recorded on the opBNB blockchain. They provide strategic advantages in competitive gameplay across four rarity tiers: Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.
NFT ownership grants: permanent on-chain title to the specific blockchain token; the right to use it competitively across all current and future game modes; the right to trade, sell, or transfer it via the CPL marketplace or compatible platforms; a limited personal non-commercial licence to display the visual elements for personal use and marketplace listing.
NFT ownership does NOT grant: copyright, trademark, or IP rights in the underlying artwork; any right to reproduce, commercialise, or create derivative works; any financial expectation, guaranteed return, or investment right; any right in Platform source code or game mechanics.
