Terms of Service
Last Updated: November 9, 2025
Please read these Terms carefully before using our Services
⚠️ IMPORTANT: JOY TOKEN IS NOT A SECURITY
Joy Token ($JY) is a utility token designed to provide access to features, services, and benefits within the CoinDaily ecosystem. It is NOT:
- An investment contract
- A security as defined by the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 or similar laws
- A share, equity, or ownership stake in any company or entity
- A promise of profits from the efforts of others
- A dividend-bearing instrument or profit-sharing arrangement
By purchasing or using $JY, you acknowledge that:
- You are obtaining a utility token for platform access, NOT making an investment
- Token value may fluctuate based on utility and market demand, not company profits
- No promises of financial returns, dividends, or profits have been made
- You have NO ownership rights, equity interest, or governance over the issuing entity
- Staking rewards come from platform revenue allocation, not investment returns
READ THE FULL TERMS BELOW FOR COMPLETE DETAILS ON TOKEN UTILITY AND RESTRICTIONS.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Joy Token Foundation ("we," "us," or "our") governing your use of:
- The Joy Token website at joytoken.io
- The CoinDaily platform at coindaily.online
- Joy Token ($JY) utility tokens
- All associated services, tools, and features (collectively, the "Services")
By accessing, using, or purchasing $JY tokens, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, DO NOT use our Services or purchase tokens.
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into contracts. If you are using our Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.
2. Joy Token Utility - NOT A SECURITY
2.1 Utility Token Classification
Joy Token ($JY) is a utility token that grants access to specific platform features and services within the CoinDaily ecosystem. IT IS NOT A SECURITY under the Howey Test or similar legal frameworks because:
- No Investment Contract: Token purchase is a transaction for utility access, not investment capital
- No Common Enterprise: Users do not pool funds; each purchases tokens individually for personal use
- No Expectation of Profits from Others' Efforts: Token value derives from utility and market demand, not company performance
- Active User Participation Required: Users must actively use platform features; tokens have no passive value
2.2 Permitted Uses of $JY (Utility Functions)
$JY tokens may ONLY be used for the following purposes:
- Premium Content Access: Unlock exclusive market analysis, whale alerts, investigative reports
- Advertising Discounts: Pay for platform advertising at 50% discount compared to fiat
- Staking for Rewards: Lock tokens to earn rewards from platform revenue allocation (NOT investment returns)
- Governance Voting: Participate in platform decisions with everlasting voting power (content priorities, feature development, treasury allocation, partnership approvals, regional expansion, editorial guidelines). Core team retains veto power for critical security matters.
- Transaction Fee Reduction: Reduced or waived fees for certain platform actions
- Early Feature Access: Beta testing and early access to new platform features
- Community Recognition: Highly engaged token holders can be celebrated, recognized, and invited to join core team roles as the platform matures
2.3 What $JY Is NOT
Joy Token explicitly does NOT represent:
- ❌ Equity, shares, or ownership in Joy Token Foundation or any affiliated entity
- ❌ Rights to dividends, profits, or revenue shares
- ❌ Debt obligation, loan, or promise of repayment
- ❌ Investment opportunity or financial instrument
- ❌ Voting rights over corporate governance, management decisions, or entity control (governance voting is limited to platform operations only)
- ❌ Legal or beneficial ownership of platform assets or intellectual property
- ❌ Right to participate in liquidation proceeds or asset distribution
2.4 Staking Rewards Are Utility Incentives
IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: Staking rewards are NOT:
- Investment returns or interest payments
- Profits derived from the efforts of management or third parties
- Dividends from company earnings
Staking rewards ARE:
- Utility incentives funded by platform revenue allocation to encourage ecosystem participation
- User rewards for actively contributing to platform liquidity and stability
- Service fees redistributed to users who lock tokens (similar to cashback programs)
- Voluntary opt-in program requiring active user participation and decision-making
Staking does NOT create a passive income stream. Users must actively choose lock periods, manage positions, claim rewards, and participate in governance—demonstrating active involvement, not passive investment.
