Your sMiles App and/or Account logs details of all transfers of sats to or from your sMiles Account. Please review your sMiles Account regularly. If you identify any erroneous transaction or unexpected activity on your sMiles Account, or you believe that the security of your sMiles Account has been compromised, you must let us know as soon as possible.
Different membership levels may apply to the sMiles Accounts of different users and, depending on the membership level you hold, your entitlement to access functionality of the sMiles App may vary.
When using the sMiles App on your mobile device, you acknowledge and agree that sMiles operates in the background of your mobile device, which in turn may have an impact on the battery life of such device.
The sMiles App stops rewarding sats to your Account if you do not open the sMiles App daily. Rewards may restart once you open the app.
sMiles may work with third-party affiliate partners, to provide users with sats rewards, such as Impact Radius, Booking.com, Awin, CJ, Kiwi.com, eBay Partner Network, and others. Not every action might be tracked and rewarded for various reasons, including but not limited to, bad cookies, connection drop-offs, used promo codes, ineligible products, ad blockers, cookie blockers, etc.

At any given time, sMiles may stop paying out rewards for any reason, which may include, but is not limited to suspicious user activity, use of VPN's, and other attempts to use and game sMiles. Attempting to circumvent sMiles security systems is not permitted, and may cause the forwarding of relevant information to authorities in the appropriate jurisdictions.
Prolonged inactivity of your sMiles account, may result in the expiry of old rewards, as they will not be claimable after prolonged account inactivity of 6+ months.
5. Rewards and reward verification
sMiles app may reward users with sats - fractions of Bitcoin - using the Lightning Network technology. All reward calculation and verification conducted by our algorithms is considered final and cannot be revised or reversed. It is solely up to sMiles to decide, if, when and with what amount of sats to reward users. sMiles will not accept any claims concerning rewards. This includes free rewards, and paid rewards.
We may cap the maximum amount of sats rewards that users of the sMiles App may generate each day or other time period using the sMiles App. The applicable cap may vary depending upon the membership level of the relevant user or other criteria that we chose to apply and we may alter such caps from time to time.
The sMiles App may allow you to send sats to third party users of the sMiles App. Please ensure that you have verified the identity of the recipient of the relevant sats before sending them.
Under the current system, rewards remain pending for 14 days (security period), after which they become available for withdrawal - if the account is in good standing.
