Terms and Conditions

Mad Monkey AI

Effective Date: May 10, 2026 | Last Updated: May 4, 2026

 

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Mad Monkey AI mobile application (the "App") operated by Mad Monkey AI Inc., a Delaware C-Corporation, with its principal office at 131 Continental Dr, Suite 305, Newark, Delaware 19713, USA ("Company," "we," "our," "us").

 

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App. If you are under 18, you confirm that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Eligibility and Age Requirements

2.1 Minimum Age

You must be at least 13 years of age to create an account and use the Mad Monkey AI App. We do not knowingly allow users under 13 to register. If we discover that a user under 13 has created an account without verified parental consent, we will deactivate the account and delete all associated data.

2.2 Users Under 18 — Parental Consent

Users in India:

In compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), all users under the age of 18 in India must obtain verifiable parental or legal guardian consent before creating an account. Accounts for users under 18 in India will not be activated until parental consent is verified.

Users in the United States:

In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), all users under the age of 13 in the United States must obtain verifiable parental consent before creating an account. For users aged 13–17 in the United States, parental consent is encouraged but not legally required under COPPA.

Users in Other Regions:

We apply the more protective standard applicable to the user's jurisdiction. Where local law requires parental consent for users under 18 (or any other age threshold), we comply with the applicable requirement.

2.3 Screen Time Restrictions for Minors

Users under the age of 17 are subject to an automatic daily screen time cap of 60 minutes, enforced by the Brain Rot Meter feature. Once the 60-minute limit is reached, the user will be logged out and will not be able to access the App again until the 24-hour reset period has elapsed. This restriction cannot be overridden by the user.

2.4 Account Responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at contact@madmonkey.ai if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

3. Description of Services

4. Monkey Cash — Virtual In-App Currency

4.1 Nature of Monkey Cash

Monkey Cash ("MC") is a virtual, non-monetary, in-app reward currency issued by Mad Monkey AI Inc. for use exclusively within the Mad Monkey AI App. Monkey Cash:

 

• Has no independent cash value outside the App.

• Is not cryptocurrency, a digital asset, a security, or a financial instrument.

• Cannot be purchased with real money.

• Cannot be transferred, traded, sold, or exchanged between users.

• Cannot be converted to fiat currency (USD, INR, or any other currency) directly.

• Exists solely as a reward and engagement mechanism within the App ecosystem.

4.2 Earning Monkey Cash

Users earn Monkey Cash through the following in-app activities:

 

• App Download: +100 MC (one-time welcome bonus upon account creation).

• Referral: +10 MC per friend who creates an account using your referral link.

• Circle Power: +1 MC per friend in your network per day. This amount must be claimed by logging into the App. Unclaimed Circle Power MC does not accumulate — if you do not log in and claim within the 24-hour window, that day's Circle Power MC is forfeited.

• Spark Creation: +5 MC per Spark post created.

• Bill Snap: +2 MC per receipt/bill photograph uploaded and validated.

 

Mad Monkey AI Inc. reserves the right to modify earning rates, add new earning mechanisms, or discontinue existing earning mechanisms at any time with reasonable notice to users.

4.3 Monkey Cash Redemption

• All redemptions are final and non-reversible once processed.

 

Mad Monkey AI Inc. reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Monkey Cash redemption program, redemption rates, and available rewards at any time with reasonable notice.

4.4 Monkey Cash Restrictions

• Monkey Cash cannot be redeemed for cash or transferred to any bank account.

• Monkey Cash balances are non-transferable and are tied to your individual account.

• In the event of account termination for Terms violation, any accumulated Monkey Cash will be forfeited.

• Mad Monkey AI Inc. reserves the right to revoke Monkey Cash earned through fraudulent, abusive, or manipulative activity (including but not limited to creating fake accounts for referral bonuses, automated bill snap uploads, or coordinated gaming of the system).

• We may impose daily limits on specific earning activities (e.g., maximum 5 Bill Snap uploads per day) to prevent abuse.

The Mad Monkey AI App does not allow users to earn, receive, mine, stake, or generate cryptocurrency or digital assets within the App. Monkey Cash is not a blockchain token or digital asset.
