These rules apply to every period of the Monkey Hop contest until we publish a new version. The dates, prizes and any country rules for each period are published on the contest page before that period opens.
1. Who runs the contest
1.1 The Monkey Hop contest (the "Contest") is organised by Memento Enterprises Limited, a company registered in Malta with company registration number C 109385, whose registered office is at 55, Triq ir-Ruzell, Attard ATD 1500, Malta ("we", "us", "our").
1.2 You can contact us about the Contest at support@monkeytrade.com.
1.3 The Contest is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Meta, Google, Apple, X or any other platform on which it is advertised or shared.
2. These rules and the contest page
2.1 These rules apply to every period of the Contest. The contest page shows, before each period opens:
(a) when the period starts and ends; (b) the prize for each winning rank in that period; (c) any country restriction that applies to that period;
2.2 By submitting a score you accept the version of these rules shown at that moment, together with the prizes and dates published for that period. We record what you accepted.
2.3 If we publish a new version of these rules, or a different prize table, it applies only to periods that open after it is published. It never changes a period that has already opened, unless we have to correct an obvious error or the law requires it.
3. Free entry
3.1 Entry is free. No purchase or payment of any kind is needed to play, to submit a score or to win a prize, and nothing you can buy improves your chances or your score.
3.2 You need a free account to submit a score. You can play without an account, but those runs do not count towards any prize.
4. Who can take part and who can win
4.1 Anyone can play and appear on the leaderboard, subject to section 7.
4.2 To win a prize you must, when you submit your score and when the prize is paid:
(a) be at least 18 years old; (b) hold only one account; (c) not live in a country where taking part or receiving the prize would be unlawful (section 4.3); and (d) not be an excluded person (section 4.4).
4.3 The Contest is open worldwide. We cannot award a prize where doing so would break the law that applies to us or to you, including sanctions and export control rules, or where local law prohibits this kind of contest. If that applies to you, you can still play and appear on the leaderboard, and the prize passes to the next eligible player. Any country restriction for a period is shown on the contest page before that period opens.
4.4 The following people cannot win prizes:
4.5 Country of residence is the country you declare on your account. We may ask you to confirm it (section 9).
5. How the contest works
5.1 Monkey Hop is a game of skill. You tap to climb, avoid the obstacles and reach the next checkpoint. At each checkpoint you are asked a timed question, and a correct answer earns bonus points. Your score is the total of the points earned while climbing and the points earned from correct answers. Winners are decided only by score. No element of chance decides who wins.
5.2 Periods. Each period runs from Monday 00:00:00 UTC to Sunday 23:59:59 UTC, unless the contest page says otherwise for that period. Each period has its own leaderboard, which starts empty.
5.3 Your ranking in a period is your single highest valid score submitted during that period. You can play as many times as you like.
5.4 Ties. If two or more players finish on the same score, the player who reached it first ranks higher.
5.5 Checking scores. Every score is checked on our servers by replaying the run under the same game rules. Only the checked score counts. A score that cannot be verified is rejected.
5.6 Contest scores do not earn loyalty points (XP) in any rewards programme, and loyalty points do not affect the Contest.
6. Prizes
6.1 The prize for each winning rank is published on the contest page before the period opens, and does not change once the period has opened.
6.2 Prize amounts are set in US dollars. Prizes are paid in crypto once the winner confirms their details. We pay any transfer fees we are charged.
6.3 A person can win at most one prize per period, and can win in more than one period.
6.4 Prizes cannot be transferred or exchanged. We pay the winner only, never a third party.
6.5 Winners are responsible for any tax that applies to their prize in their country. Where the law requires us to withhold tax, we will do so and tell the winner.
6.6 If an eligible winner cannot receive a prize, it passes to the next eligible player in the ranking. If no eligible player remains, the prize is not awarded.
7. Fair play
7.1 You must play with one account, by hand, using the official game in a normal browser.
7.2 It is not allowed to:
7.3 We use automated checks to detect suspected duplicate accounts and unusual play. Automated checks never exclude anyone by themselves. A person reviews the evidence before any decision is made, and every decision is recorded with its reason.
7.4 If we decide that you broke these rules, we may void your scores, disqualify you from one or more periods, close duplicate accounts, or withhold a prize, which then passes to the next eligible player. We will tell you the reason and how to ask us to review the decision (section 12).
7.5 Disqualified players may stay visible on the leaderboard with a label, so that the results remain transparent.
8. Winners
8.1 Final rankings are confirmed after each period closes, once scores have been checked. Rankings shown during a period are provisional.
8.2 We email winners at the address on their account within 5 working days of the period closing.
8.3 To claim a prize you must reply within 14 days with the details we ask for. If you do not, the prize passes to the next eligible player.
8.4 We never ask for a fee, a password, card details or the recovery phrase of any account to pay a prize. Any message asking for these is not from us.
9. Checks before a prize is paid
9.1 Before a prize is paid we check that the account is genuine and belongs to one person: the account history, how the score was achieved, and the duplicate checks in section 7.
9.2 We may ask you to confirm your age and your country of residence. We do not ask for identity documents unless the law requires it or we have a specific, reasonable concern that we explain to you.
9.3 If you cannot receive the payment, or the checks above are not satisfied, the prize passes to the next eligible player.
10. Your username and publicity
10.1 Your username, score and ranking appear on the public leaderboard and on the archive pages we publish for each period.
10.2 We may announce winners by username on our website, newsletter and social media. We will not publish your real name or photo without your permission.
10.3 Choose a username that does not reveal personal information you want to keep private. We may remove usernames that are offensive or impersonate others.
11. Personal data
11.1 Memento Enterprises Limited is the controller of the personal data used to run the Contest. We use it to manage your account, check scores and eligibility, detect duplicate accounts and misuse, contact and pay winners, and meet our legal obligations.
11.2 For more information, including your rights and how long we keep data, see our privacy policy at https://www.monkeytrade.com/privacy-policy. You can contact us at support@monkeytrade.com.
12. Questions and complaints
12.1 If you have a question or complaint about the Contest, or want us to review a decision about you, write to support@monkeytrade.com within 14 days of the event. A person will review it and reply within 14 days.
13. Changes, suspension and cancellation
13.1 If something outside our reasonable control affects the fairness or running of a period, we may pause, change or cancel it. Examples include technical failures, attacks on the service and widespread cheating. If we cancel a period, we will publish the reason and either award prizes on the valid scores up to that point or not award them, whichever is fairer to players.
13.2 We may end the Contest, or decide not to run further periods, at any time. That does not affect a period that has already opened.
14. Liability
14.1 Nothing in these rules limits any liability that cannot be limited by law, including your rights as a consumer.
14.2 Otherwise, we are not responsible for lost connections or device problems, scores that fail to submit because of your connection, or delays caused by payment providers that we could not reasonably avoid.
15. General
15.1 Monkey Hop is an educational game. Nothing in the game or the Contest is financial, investment or tax advice.
15.2 If any part of these rules is found invalid, the rest remains in force.
15.3 These rules are governed by the laws of Malta. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, and you may bring a claim in the courts of your country or of Malta.
