5. Description of the Service

5.1 Overview

Darve provides a platform that facilitates interactive engagement between live streamers and their audiences. The Service enables Viewers to suggest Challenges in Twitch chat, collectively fund those Challenges through Donations, and watch Streamers complete them live. The Service automatically creates Clips of completed Challenges for preservation and sharing.

5.2 Challenge Lifecycle

The core functionality of the Service follows the Challenge Lifecycle:

  1. Collection: During a live stream, the Streamer activates a Collection Window. The Service monitors the Streamer's Twitch chat and collects Challenge suggestions submitted by Viewers.
  2. AI Processing: Collected suggestions are processed by our AI systems, which aggregate, filter for safety compliance, and curate Challenge suggestions for the Streamer's consideration.
  3. Selection: The Streamer reviews the curated Challenges and selects one or more to present to their audience for funding.
  4. Funding: Viewers contribute Donations toward the selected Challenge. The Challenge proceeds when it reaches its funding goal, or at the Streamer's discretion.
  5. Acceptance & Completion: The Streamer accepts the funded Challenge and attempts to complete it live on stream.
  6. Clip Creation: Upon completion (or at other relevant moments), the Service creates a Clip of the Challenge via the Twitch API.
  7. Delivery: The Clip is made available through the Service, and funds from the Challenge are credited to the Streamer's account balance.

5.3 No Guarantee of Availability

Darve does not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times or that any particular feature will function without interruption. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time without prior notice.

6. Streamer Accounts

6.1 Streamer Registration

To use the Service as a Streamer, you must create an Account and complete any additional registration or verification steps required for Streamer functionality, including connecting your Twitch broadcaster account and providing payment information for receiving Payouts through Stripe.

6.2 Streamer Verification

We may require additional verification of your identity, Twitch account standing, or other information before enabling Streamer features, including the ability to receive Payouts. We reserve the right to deny or revoke Streamer status at our sole discretion.

6.3 Streamer Obligations

As a Streamer, you agree to:

  • (a) Make good-faith efforts to complete accepted and funded Challenges;
  • (b) Decline any Challenge that you believe to be unsafe, illegal, or in violation of these Terms or our Community & Safety Guidelines;
  • (c) Stop any Challenge immediately if it becomes unsafe during execution;
  • (d) Comply with all applicable laws and Twitch's Terms of Service during your streams;
  • (e) Not solicit or encourage Viewers to submit Challenges that violate these Terms or our Community & Safety Guidelines;
  • (f) Provide accurate payment and tax information for the purpose of receiving Payouts;
  • (g) Moderate and exercise editorial discretion over the Challenges you accept.

7. Viewer Accounts

To suggest Challenges or make Donations, you must create an Account by authenticating through Twitch OAuth. Browsing certain public portions of the Service may be available without an Account.

  • (d) Not create multiple Accounts to manipulate Challenge suggestions or funding;
  • (e) Respect the Streamer's right to decline or abandon any Challenge at their sole discretion.

8. Challenges

8.1 Challenge Creation

Challenges are suggested by Viewers through Twitch chat during active Collection Windows. The Service collects, processes, and curates these suggestions using AI technology and presents them to the Streamer for consideration.

8.2 Challenge Acceptance

Streamers have sole and absolute discretion to accept or decline any Challenge. Acceptance of a Challenge for funding does not guarantee that the Streamer will complete it. Streamers may abandon a Challenge at any time if they determine, in their sole judgment, that it is unsafe, impractical, or otherwise inappropriate.

8.3 Challenge Completion

A Challenge is considered "completed" when the Streamer has made a good-faith attempt to fulfill the Challenge as described, at the Streamer's reasonable determination. Darve does not adjudicate disputes over whether a Challenge was "properly" completed.

8.4 Challenge Failure

If a Streamer accepts a funded Challenge but fails to attempt it or abandons it without good cause, the Donations associated with that Challenge may be refunded to Viewers in accordance with the Refund Policy in Section 10. "Good cause" includes but is not limited to safety concerns, technical difficulties, and stream interruptions.

8.5 Challenge Expiration

Challenges that have not been fully funded within a reasonable timeframe, as determined by the Service, may expire. Upon expiration, any partial Donations will be refunded to the contributing Viewers.

9. Payments & Donations

9.1 Payment Processing

All financial transactions on the Service, including Donations and Payouts, are processed by Stripe. By making a Donation or receiving a Payout, you agree to Stripe's terms of service and privacy policy in addition to these Terms. Darve does not directly process, store, or handle your credit card or bank account information.

9.2 Donation Flow

When a Viewer makes a Donation toward a Challenge, the funds are processed by Stripe and held in escrow until the Challenge is completed, failed, or expired. Darve acts as an intermediary in facilitating the flow of funds between Viewers and Streamers.

9.3 Currency

All transactions on the Service are denominated in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified. We may support additional currencies in the future. Currency conversion, if applicable, is handled by Stripe and any associated fees or exchange rate differences are the responsibility of the User.

9.4 Minimum Donation Amount

A minimum Donation amount may apply to each transaction. The current minimum Donation amount is displayed on the Service at the time of the transaction. We reserve the right to change the minimum Donation amount at any time.

9.5 Processing Times

Donations are typically processed immediately, but may take up to several business days to fully settle depending on your payment method and financial institution. Darve is not responsible for delays caused by Stripe or third-party financial institutions.

9.6 Payment Authorization

By making a Donation, you authorize Darve and Stripe to charge the payment method you provide for the amount specified. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the payment method and that the information you provide is accurate.

10. Refund Policy

10.1 Refunds Available

Refunds may be issued in the following circumstances:

  • (a) Challenge Not Attempted: The Streamer accepted a funded Challenge but did not make any attempt to complete it and did not provide a reasonable explanation;
  • (b) Technical Failure: A technical error on Darve's platform prevented the Challenge from being properly presented, funded, or completed;
  • (c) Challenge Expiration: A Challenge expired before being fully funded, in which case partial Donations will be automatically refunded;
  • (d) Unauthorized Transaction: A Donation was made without your authorization (subject to verification).

Refunds are generally not available in the following circumstances:

  • (a) Completed Challenges: The Streamer made a good-faith attempt to complete the Challenge, regardless of whether the outcome was to the Viewer's satisfaction;
  • (b) Change of Mind: The Viewer simply changed their mind about the Donation after it was made;
  • (c) Streamer Discretion: The Streamer declined or abandoned a Challenge for legitimate safety, legal, or personal reasons;
  • (d) Dissatisfaction with Outcome: The Viewer is dissatisfied with how the Streamer performed the Challenge.

10.3 Refund Process

To request a refund, contact us at support@darve.app with details of the transaction and the reason for your request. We will review refund requests on a case-by-case basis and respond within ten (10) business days. Approved refunds will be credited to the original payment method within five to ten (5–10) business days, subject to Stripe processing times.

11. Platform Fees & Commissions

11.1 Launch Period

During the initial launch period of the Service, Darve charges zero percent (0%) platform fees on Donations. This means that 100% of Viewer Donations (minus Stripe processing fees) are passed through to Streamers.

All transactions are subject to Stripe's standard processing fees, which are deducted from the transaction amount before funds are credited to the Streamer.
