You agree not to: upload content that infringes third-party IP rights or is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or hateful; attempt to reverse-engineer or hack the Platform; use automated bots without written permission; or impersonate any person or entity. We reserve the right to remove content and terminate accounts in breach of this section.
7. Challenge Mode — Skill-Based Competition
7.1 Challenge Mode is a skill-based competition and does not constitute gambling. The outcome is determined entirely by the quality of the musical work submitted, as assessed by qualified professional evaluators. This competition complies with Latvian law, including the Law on Gambling (Azartspēļu un izložu likums).
7.2 Challenge Types — Blip Blop may offer: Free personal timed Challenges; Monthly Challenges created by the Blip Blop team; and Curated Challenges created with partners or curators. Challenge entries are currently free for all users. The deadline, time limit, restrictions, judging process, and prize details are displayed before entry.
7.3 Entry and Submission — One challenge entry allows one final submission for the specific Challenge unless the Challenge page states otherwise. The participant must create and submit an original music track inside the timed Challenge session before the deadline. Once submitted, a final entry may not be replaced unless Blip Blop explicitly permits it for technical or fairness reasons.
7.4 Access for Judging and Administration — By participating in a Challenge, you allow Blip Blop admins and authorized judges to access, stream, and download your submitted work solely for judging, moderation, fraud checks, prize fulfillment, dispute handling, and competition administration. Participant boards may show the creator display name, waveform preview, and playback transport to other participants after they have submitted.
7.5 Evaluation — Challenge submissions are evaluated by Blip Blop admins, disclosed curators, partners, or other qualified evaluators depending on the Challenge. Criteria may include musicality, originality, sound design, use of required materials, compliance with restrictions, and overall creative quality. We may disqualify submissions for plagiarism, rights infringement, fraud, technical manipulation, rule violations, or unlawful content.
7.6 Prizes and Fulfillment — Winners may receive cash-equivalent, product, partner, promotional, or other real prizes as described on the Challenge page. Prize fulfillment may be manual and may require additional eligibility, identity, tax, address, or payment information. Winners are responsible for applicable taxes. If a winner is ineligible, unreachable, or disqualified, Blip Blop may select an alternate winner.
7.7 Disputes and Appeals — Disqualification or prize disputes must be submitted to Blip Blop within 14 days of notice unless a Challenge page states a shorter period. Blip Blop will review good-faith appeals and make a final decision within a reasonable time.
7.8 Eligibility — Paid prize Challenges are open to natural persons aged 18 or over unless the specific Challenge states otherwise. Employees and contractors of Blip Blop, partner judges, and their immediate family members may be excluded from winning prizes.
7.9 IP in Submissions — You retain ownership of your Challenge submission. By entering you grant Blip Blop a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, stream, reproduce, download internally, and display your Challenge submission as needed to operate, judge, administer, and promote the Challenge with appropriate credit.
