Acceptable Use Policy

1. Introduction

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs your use of the Orbix Firm platform operated by Northmark Analytics Inc. (the "Platform"). This Policy supplements our Terms of Service and forms part of your agreement with us.

By using the Platform, you agree to comply with this Policy. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings set forth in our Terms of Service.

2. Permitted Use

The Platform is provided for the following purposes:

• Purchasing Challenges to access skill-based sports analytics Evaluations
• Placing Predictions on real sporting events within the rules of your active Evaluation
• Tracking your performance against defined Evaluation criteria
• Requesting Performance Payouts from qualified Funded Accounts
• Managing your Account settings and profile information

You may only use the Platform for its intended purpose as a performance evaluation service. Any use outside of this scope is prohibited.

3. Fair Play Policy

Orbix Firm is committed to maintaining a fair, transparent, and merit-based evaluation environment. All Users are evaluated under the same rules, and all results must reflect genuine individual analytical skill.

We employ automated and manual fraud detection systems that continuously monitor for suspicious activity, including but not limited to:

• Unusual prediction patterns or timing
• Statistical anomalies in performance
• Correlated activity across multiple Accounts
• Exploitation of data delays or platform errors
• Prediction patterns that indicate insider information or collusion

All evaluations are subject to review. We reserve the right to investigate any Account activity and to withhold or reverse payouts pending the outcome of an investigation.

The following activities are strictly prohibited. This list is not exhaustive — any activity that undermines the integrity of the Platform or violates applicable law is prohibited.

Accessibility tools (screen readers, keyboard navigation aids) are permitted and encouraged.
