Voting Policy
This Voting and Anti-Manipulation Policy (“Policy”) governs voting participation, audience engagement, score integrity, anti-abuse controls, eligibility standards, result administration, fraud prevention, and related activities connected with competitions, campaigns, audience interactions, ranking systems, and digital experiences operated through the FURY™ platform by Elycrox Global Ltd. (“FURY”, “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).
This Policy forms part of and should be read together with the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, KYC Policy, Official Competition Rulebook, Contestant Participation and Release Agreement, Payment, Refund and Cancellation Policy, and any Competition-specific requirements.
Participation in voting activities, audience engagement features, ranking mechanisms, or Competition interactions constitutes acceptance of this Policy.
• PURPOSE AND PRINCIPLES
• The purpose of this Policy is to preserve the integrity, credibility, fairness, transparency, and lawful operation of voting and audience participation activities across the Platform.
• Voting activities are designed to support Competition engagement and shall not be interpreted as gambling, wagering, betting, gaming of chance, or investment activity.
• Competition outcomes may be determined through a combination of factors depending on Competition design, including: • skill evaluation; • judging criteria; • performance assessment; • audience participation; • eligibility requirements; • compliance review; • operational verification.
• Voting is intended to enhance engagement and shall not automatically determine Competition outcomes unless expressly stated.
• DEFINITIONS
For purposes of this Policy: “Audience Participant” means any person who participates in voting, reactions, ranking activities, engagement mechanisms, audience challenges, or related Platform interactions.
“Competition” means any contest, challenge, campaign, tournament, event, or activity administered through the Platform.
“Manipulation” means conduct intended to distort legitimate Competition outcomes, audience activity, rankings, voting integrity, engagement metrics, or Platform operations.
“Vote” means any valid interaction recognised by the Platform as contributing to audience engagement, evaluation, progression, ranking, or Competition administration.
“Voting Period” means the official period during which voting activity is recognised.

• The Company may act before completion of an investigation where immediate intervention is reasonably necessary to protect users, maintain fairness, preserve evidence, or prevent continued abuse.
• Enforcement decisions shall be made having regard to the nature of the conduct, operational impact, available evidence, severity of risk, previous behaviour, and applicable legal obligations.
• VOTE INVALIDATION AND RESULT CORRECTIONS
• The Company reserves the right to invalidate, exclude, discount, recalculate, adjust, reverse, or remove Votes where there are reasonable grounds to believe that voting activity does not accurately reflect legitimate participation.
