3. Nature of the Service

This service is a 100% mock investment/prediction simulation where betting using real cash or cryptocurrency is strictly prohibited. Virtual points used within the service have no actual monetary value and cannot be exchanged, transferred, or sold under any circumstances.

Next Markets Corp. does not encourage gambling and aims to foster healthy information exchange and insight into market predictions.

4. Paper Trading

4.1 Simulated Trading Only

The Paper Trading feature allows members to place simulated buy and sell orders on prediction markets using virtual points. All trading activity on Tyki is entirely simulated. No real money, cryptocurrency, or assets of any kind are involved at any point. Points have no monetary value and cannot be withdrawn, transferred, or redeemed under any circumstances. Next Markets Corp. does not operate a real-money trading platform and is not a broker, exchange, or financial institution.

4.2 Data Source & Disclaimer

Certain prediction market data displayed within the Paper Trading feature — including but not limited to market prices, probabilities, outcomes, and contract information — is sourced from one or more third-party data providers via their publicly available data interfaces. Next Markets Corp. is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any such third-party data provider, and does not own, control, or guarantee the accuracy of any data obtained from such sources.

The data displayed on Tyki:

• is provided for simulation and entertainment purposes only;
• is not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or current;
• may be delayed, cached, aggregated, or otherwise differ from the data available directly from the original source at any given time;
• should not be relied upon for any real-money trading or financial decision.

Members who wish to access authoritative, real-time market data should consult the original data source directly. Tyki's displayed data is not a substitute for the original source, and Next Markets Corp. makes no representation as to the identity, terms, or availability of any such source.

Next Markets Corp. expressly disclaims all liability for any discrepancy between data displayed on Tyki and data available from any third-party source, and for any action taken by a member in reliance on data displayed on Tyki.

4.3 No Financial Advice

Nothing within the Paper Trading feature — including simulated results, portfolio performance, P&L figures, ROI calculations, leaderboard rankings, or any other displayed metric — constitutes investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or a recommendation of any kind to participate in any real-money prediction market or financial product. All results are hypothetical and simulated. Next Markets Corp. does not provide financial advisory services of any kind.

4.4 Seasons & Account Resets

Paper Trading operates on a season-based system. At the end of each season, virtual balances, open positions, and trading history may be partially or fully reset. Next Markets Corp. reserves the right to modify season structure, duration, initial point grant amounts, and reset conditions at any time without prior notice. No compensation will be provided for points or positions lost as a result of a season reset.

4.5 Order Execution

Simulated orders are subject to available liquidity in the underlying data sourced from third-party providers. Next Markets Corp. does not guarantee that all orders will be filled, or filled at the quoted price. Partial fills and unfilled orders are a normal feature of the simulation and do not constitute an error or any obligation on the part of Next Markets Corp.
