5.1.3.βStatus on Macadam
The Application allows ranking its Users into different levels using a crown system. In this regard, there are three different levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
By default, all Users will be placed in the Bronze level. Through the crown system, the User can move from one level to another. Crowns can be obtained using various features of the Application (playing minigames, taking surveys, social functions, etc.).
Each level grants the User additional benefits and unlocks exclusive offers and discounts so that the User can obtain greater or faster Rewards with the use of their Coins.
The Status and associated benefits have a limited duration of 3 months from the acquisition of the same, that is, from having achieved the level. If you do not achieve a higher status during that period, you will return to the initial Bronze Status. Also, in the case
of reaching Gold Status, once the 3-month duration expires, you will return to the initial Bronze Status.

Macadam does not guarantee that the Macadam Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free, always updated, that defects will be corrected, or that the Macadam Platform will be free from viruses or other harmful components.
However, whenever there are no causes that make its execution impossible or difficult, and as soon as we become aware of errors, disconnections, or lack of content updates, every effort will be made to correct errors, restore communication, and update content.
It may happen that due to an error, technical or human incident, incorrect points are awarded to a User and then removed from the user's account once the error or incident is resolved. Macadam will not be liable for such an event, or any damages suffered in connection with it.
Also, the User shall not settle any claims in a manner that implies any admission of fault or imposition of obligation on Macadam without its prior written consent.
9.2.β Limitation of Damages
Macadam shall not be liable for any damages suffered by you directly or indirectly as a result of a breach of these Terms and Conditions, negligence, or unauthorized use by you or a third party.
Macadam's liability shall only cover direct, real, foreseeable and certain damages suffered by the User, with a causal link between Macadam's negligence or breach of contract and the damage itself.
In no event shall Macadam or its Partners be liable for any consequential loss suffered or incurred by you or a third party arising from the use or inability to use the Macadam Platform or any other service provided by Macadam or the materials on Macadam even if Macadam or an authorized representative has been notified, orally or in writing, of the possibility of such damage.
In the context of these Terms, "consequential loss" includes any consequential loss, indirect loss, actual or anticipated loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of opportunities, loss of savings, loss of reputation, loss of use, and/or loss or corruption of data, whether under statute, contract, equity, tort (including negligence), indemnity, or otherwise.

9.4.β Elements of Evidence
The User accepts that Macadam's computer systems and files will be considered as valid unless the contrary is proven by evidence of equal or superior value.
