RECITALS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding and mutual promises herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, and the sufficiency of which at this moment is acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
TABLE OF DEFINITIONS
Dashboard – the primary tool of communication between Honeygain and its users. Used to provide essential and relevant information regarding the Application, such as the number of accumulated credits, earnings, pricing models, important notices, etc. The Dashboard can be accessed through https://dashboard.honeygain.com .
Application – the most recent version of the Application made available by Honeygain to its users, including any software (source code and object code), programs, tools, libraries, APIs, data, files, Application specifications, and documentation. Also includes any updates, upgrades, bug fixes, patches, new releases, new versions of any of the previous that may be made available by Honeygain to its users under this Agreement.
Content Delivery (CD) – Honeygain’s functionality that allows its desktop users to share their Internet traffic through a method that’s different from the default one. With CD, the user’s device is used to reach more bandwidth-intensive content (such as images, videos, audio, streaming services, heavy websites, IPTV, etc.) upon their consent. There are separate rules for earning and receiving payouts with CD.
Shared traffic – the amount of Internet traffic shared by a particular user and used by Honeygain (or its Clients) through the user's device.
Earnings – the amount of money the user earns in a specific period of time. It is calculated in accordance with the pricing rules established herein and paid to the user by Honeygain.
Credits – the Honeygain network's digital asset that has value attributed to it by Honeygain. Allocated to users' accounts to compensate for the Shared traffic.
Sharing rate – the number of Credits earned per 1GB of Shared traffic.
Conversion rate – the monetary value attributed to the Credits and presented publicly on the website.
Clients – Honeygain’s business clients that use the traffic shared by the users to gather publicly available web data for various business purposes (e.g., pricing, brand or market analysis, ad verification, etc.).
HONEYGAIN
Having installed the Application and agreed to this Agreement, the user becomes a part of Honeygain's network of users that share their Internet traffic with Honeygain and are awarded Credits. Credits can be later paid out as Earnings following this Agreement.
Becoming a part of Honeygain’s network means that the user willingly shares his Internet traffic with Honeygain and its Clients. Clients are not aware of which specific users’ Internet traffic they are using, and the users don’t know which particular Client uses their Internet traffic. Normally, the Client requests Internet traffic from a specific country (e.g., Brazil) or region (e.g., South America). Honeygain can either grant or deny such requests depending on the desired quantity of traffic, location, or Honeygain functionality options available to users participating in the network at the time.
Keeping in accordance with the above also means that not all users will be able to share the same amount of traffic, as it depends on whether there is demand for their Internet traffic. Moreover, if there is a surplus of Internet traffic coming from a specific location, Honeygain retains the right to limit traffic sharing for particular users to protect the network from overutilization. To guarantee the quality of Internet traffic to Clients and maximize the potential profit for our users, we limit the number of devices that can be attributed to a specific IP address at a single instance. We might also limit the usage types of IP addresses connected to Honeygain's network. These limitations can change and are always disclosed in our FAQ.
By using our Application and agreeing to this Agreement, you state that you understand and accept that your Shared traffic might be used by various businesses for different business cases. Some of these use cases might include advertisement verification which may result in the user seeing specific advertisements when browsing the Internet. Other Clients might gather data from the web, which may result in you getting asked to solve captchas when visiting certain websites. Some of our Clients might also use our service to access or provide streaming services, etc.
If you have a streaming platform account and our Client uses your device as an exit gateway to access the same platform, there is also an unlikely possibility that you could become unable to use said services for a limited amount of time. The Clients who use Honeygain for this particular use case would mainly use traffic generated by users who chose to utilize our CD functionality. While we do put reasonable effort to prevent any detrimental consequences to our users, it is the user who is responsible for their ability to share Internet traffic, as well as their compliance with local laws, regulations, and agreements with third parties.
HONEYGAIN PROVIDES THE APPLICATION 'AS IS'. THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

THE RULES OF EARNINGS AND PAYOUTS
Content Delivery (CD): If you opt in to CD functionality and successfully pass the queue to connect to the CD server(s), your device will earn Credits just by staying connected to the CD server(s). Every minute (m) of successful connection earns you the number of Credits based on the CD Sharing rate (SRCD) provided on Honeygain’s Dashboard.
Formulas for the established above:
(E = C x CR);
Default functionality: (C = ST x SR)
CD functionality: (C = m x SRCD)
6. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE PRICING RULES ESTABLISHED HEREIN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONVERSION RATE AND SHARING RATE. WE MIGHT ALSO ESTABLISH TEMPORARY SHARING RATE OR CONVERSION RATE LIMITS THAT WOULD ONLY BE APPLICABLE FOR A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME AS DISCLOSED IN THE DASHBOARD.
7. IF THE APPLICATION IS NOT USED BY THE USER FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS, THE CREDITS ACCRUED BY SUCH USER SHALL BE DEEMED INVALID AND EXPIRED. THE EARNINGS WILL NOT BE PAID OUT FOR SUCH CREDITS. THE APPLICATION SHALL BE DEEMED UNUSED IF HONEYGAIN’S INFRASTRUCTURE DOES NOT REGISTER ANY SHARED TRAFFIC FROM THE USER.
PAYOUTS THROUGH JUMPTASK
Honeygain has partnered with JumpTask (‘JumpTask’) in order to offer you an alternative Earnings payout method using JumpTask’s platform. Should you elect to use JumpTask’s platform for this purpose, you will be able to request payouts through this platform without having to reach our minimum withdrawal threshold of 20 USD.
In order to be able to request payouts for Earnings via JumpTask’s platform, you must first select for Earnings in the Honeygain application to become eligible for payouts via JumpTask’s platform. PLEASE NOTE that this does not work retroactively, meaning that you will not be able to request payouts in JumpTask’s platform for any Earnings that you have earned within Honeygain’s application before the moment you selected to direct your Earnings towards JumpTask’s platform.
To start directing your Earnings towards JumpTask’s platform, simply toggle the button, allowing you to switch your earnings between Honeygain and JumpTask (the button is located at the top of Honeygain application home screen). After making the switch to JumpTask, you will receive a confirmation within the Honeygain application.
PLEASE NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT ALL PAYOUTS YOU REQUEST VIA JUMPTASK’S PLATFORM WILL BE DONE IN JUMPTOKENS. YOUR USE OF JUMPTASK’S PLATFORM IS SUBJECT TO JUMPTASK’S USER AGREEMENT. BEFORE USING JUMPTASK’S PLATFORM, MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THEIR USER AGREEMENT. SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO USE JUMPTASK’S PLATFORM, YOU WILL BE DOING SO IN YOUR SOLE RISK AND HONEYGAIN WILL NOT BE IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JUMPTASK OR ANY ISSUES THAT YOU MAY HAVE WITH IT.
