The deal,
in plain words

1. What this is

1. Make or Break is a game. You pay $39, you get a private room and 30 days to build a connector for Muse with an agent's help.
2. You submit it. The room votes on it for 48 hours. A panel scores it against a published rubric and calls it a make or a break.
3. That's the whole service. We are not a marketplace, an agency, a guarantee of anything, or your lawyer.

2. Who can play

1. You must be old enough to enter a binding agreement where you live. If you're not, don't. [TO FILL]
2. One entry per person. $39, once, no subscription. If we catch one person running multiple entries, we keep the fees and you keep one entry.
3. You need a working Discord account and the ability to actually build the thing. We provide the room and the help. Not the hands.

3. What the fee buys

1. $39 buys a private room for 30 days from the day you register your idea, an agent in it to build with, a 48-hour public vote, and a scored verdict with written notes.
2. It buys a review. It does not buy a verdict in your favour. The scorecard, the feedback and your history cost $0 extra — they're part of the deal either way.
3. After a break, two doors open: $20 for a fresh idea with a new 30-day clock, or $30 to bring the same idea back once with the failures fixed. A second revision after that is $60, and $60 is the hard cap — there is no third price and no third door after a failed one.
4. Passing a revision does not reset the revision count. The index is on revisions purchased, not on your streak.
5. No refunds. You get the room, the help and a real verdict whether your name lands in green or red.

4. Judging

1. The pass mark is 35 out of 50. Five criteria, 0–10 each. Two of them — utility and works-end-to-end — are auto-fail gates. Score 0–3 on either and it's a break no matter what the total says.
2. A submission must contain all four required components. Three of four is an automatic fail on works-end-to-end. We name the gates before you build. That's the courtesy.
3. The room vote is public and advisory. It doesn't decide anything. You can't vote on your own build.
4. The panel aims to give a first pass within 48 hours of the vote closing and a final call within 5 days. If it slips, we tell you why. We don't go quiet.
5. Judging is subjective. Humans, applying a rubric, making a call. The panel's decision is final. You're not paying for a verdict you like — you're paying for an honest one.

5. The burn rule

1. A break burns the idea. It opens exactly two paid doors: the $20 fresh swing or the $30 revision.
2. A failed revision burns the idea for good. Permanently. We enforce it by fingerprint, not by memory, so don't bother sanding the serial numbers off.
3. Pass after a revision? It goes on the board as exactly that. Broke, fixed it, got through. Better story than pretending the first attempt never happened.

6. The public board

1. By entering, you consent to your name and your verdict being published on the public board. Green or red. With the scorecard if you break.
2. If you don't want your name on a public board next to a verdict, this is not your game. That's not a flaw in the terms — it's the point of them.
3. A pass gets you a board row, the members-only areas of the server, the continuous mix, alternates, downloads and the Members voice rooms. Nothing else is priced. Scorecard, feedback, history and LISTED eligibility are all $0.
4. LISTED is Meta's decision, not a panel verdict. A rejection there is not a break here. Your pass stands and your idea is not burned.

7. Acceptable use

1. Don't cheat. Don't submit someone else's work, don't farm the agent for a finished product you didn't build, don't game the vote with alt accounts.
2. Don't build anything illegal, harmful, or that exists to hurt people. The bar is low and yet somehow it needs saying.
3. Don't abuse the server, the agents, or the other people in them. We can remove you for this, and no, the fee doesn't come back.
4. One idea, registered with /idea, is the one you're judged on. It cannot be swapped. Choose like it matters.

8. Your connectors, your keys

1. You own what you build. Your connector, your code, your idea. We claim nothing over it.
2. You bring your own API keys and credentials. We store none of them. Key placement in the connect spec is set once at submission and can never be edited afterwards — that's a security feature, not a bug.
3. What you connect to is between you and the provider. If a provider changes its terms or revokes your access, that's your problem to solve, not a reason for a re-judge.

9. Independence from Meta

1. Make or Break is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Meta. Not a partner, not a program, not a back door into anything.
2. Getting listed in Meta's Muse directory is Meta's call entirely. We can't get you listed. We can only get you past our bar.

10. Liability, briefly

1. The service is provided as-is. If it breaks, we'll try to fix it, but we're not liable for what a broken month costs you.
2. To the maximum extent the law allows, our total liability to you is the fee you paid us. Usually that means $39. [TO FILL]
3. We're not liable for provider outages, Meta's decisions, your token bills, or the emotional weight of a red row on a public board.

11. Termination

1. You can walk away any time. Just stop. No cancellation fees, no exit interview.
2. We can remove you for cheating, abuse, or anything in section 7. If we do, you forfeit the fee and any remaining days. The board row, if you earned one, stays — history is history.

12. Changes

1. We may change these terms. When we do, the new version applies to entries made after the change, and only those.
2. If you're mid-game when terms change, the ones you agreed to when you paid are the ones that govern your run. That's fair, and fairness is the whole personality of this document.
