These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your participation in the FinnishMark (FIM) token project, including the Initial Coin Offering (ICO), airdrop campaigns, and any related services provided by the Sauna Syndicate (the "Project Team"). By participating, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not participate.
Table of Contents
1. Eligibility
Participation in the FinnishMark (FIM) ecosystem, including the Initial Coin Offering (ICO), airdrop campaign, referral programs, and any associated promotional activities, is strictly limited to individuals who are legally permitted to participate under the laws of their jurisdiction. Participants affirm and warrant that they are at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction), legally allowed to acquire, hold, or transfer cryptographic tokens, not a resident, citizen, or green-card holder of any jurisdiction explicitly prohibited under Section 34, and not participating on behalf of another individual or entity that would otherwise be prohibited. Any breach of these conditions may result in immediate disqualification, forfeiture of allocated tokens, or legal consequences.
2. Token Utility
FinnishMark (FIM) is a utility token deployed on the Solana blockchain. It is intended for peer-to-peer payments, tipping, microtransactions, integrations with Happycoin.app, confidential transaction support via SFIM, governance-lite community interactions, and access to specialized FinnishMark ecosystem utilities and digital experiences.
FIM does not grant ownership or equity in FinnishMark or Sauna Syndicate, dividend rights, governance rights (unless explicitly introduced later), a share of profits, or entitlement to any financial return.
Participation is voluntary and based entirely on the understanding of the FIM token's utility-based purpose.
3. Token Supply
The maximum supply of FIM is 10,000,000,000 (10 billion) tokens. This supply is pre-minted, fixed permanently, and immutable due to the revocation of mint and freeze authority. No additional tokens can ever be minted. No administrative key exists that would allow inflation, supply manipulation, or alterations.
4. Airdrop
The official “Tonninseteli Airdrop Campaign” allocates 100,000,000 FIM to the first 100,000 verified claimants (1,000 FIM each), plus 400,000,000 FIM for verified referrals, social sharing rewards, and promotional allocations. Total airdrop + promotional pool = 500,000,000 FIM (5% of total supply).
Eligibility requires successful Stripe human verification, valid email address, linking of a unique Solana wallet address, and no duplicate identities, IP manipulation, bots, or automated sign-ups. The Project Team retains the right to deny airdrop to suspicious accounts, request additional verification information, and exclude any participant for fraud or non-compliance. Unused tokens at ICO conclusion will be permanently burned.
5. ICO Structure
Pricing
ICO price: $0.007191 USD per FIM, determined in SOL using live market rates.
Minimum and Maximum
Minimum: 1,000 FIM
Maximum: 2,000,000 FIM
Caps
Soft Cap: 500,000,000 FIM
Hard Cap: 9,000,000,000 FIM
Refunds
If the soft cap is not met by ICO closing: 95% of contributed SOL is refunded, 5% covers operational, network, and Stripe-related costs.
Finality
All purchases are final once confirmed on-chain. Participants agree that token allocations correspond to real-time SOL/USD exchange rates displayed during purchase.
6. Human Verification & Stripe Fee
To ensure fairness and prevent bot exploitation, all users must complete a $0.79 Stripe verification payment. This fee is mandatory, non-refundable, does not constitute a purchase of goods or services, and is used for human verification and fraud prevention measures.
7. Refund Policy
A refund is only possible if the ICO soft cap is not reached. All refunds are issued in the original SOL amount contributed, minus non-refundable fees, and exclude Stripe fees, network fees, and bank processor charges. Once tokens are delivered to a participant’s wallet, no refunds are possible unless explicitly required under Estonian law or other applicable mandatory legislation.
8. Use of Proceeds and Liquidity Policy
All ICO contributions are processed according to the FinnishMark Liquidity & Transparency Framework:
Pool Capital Wallet (PCW)
90% of all ICO funds are transferred daily to a dedicated Pool Capital Wallet whose sole purpose is adding liquidity to approved DEX pools and supporting fair market conditions for token trading.
No Premature Trading
Trading cannot begin until FIM tokens AND their paired asset (SOL or USDC) are added in the same transaction to the liquidity pool.
Transparency
Each liquidity transaction will include a public blockchain transaction hash, be announced in official channels, and be permanently auditable.
LP Token Locking
Liquidity provider (LP) tokens received from liquidity addition will be locked for 3 years, then released linearly at 1/24 per month over 2 years, and include public proof of all lock transactions.
Unused operating funds may support audits, security enhancements, compliance, and infrastructure.
9. Roadmap & Vision
The FinnishMark roadmap outlines aspirational goals including payment integrations, merchant solutions, gaming and NFT utilities, community tooling, and mobile wallet integrations. All roadmap items are non-binding, experimental, and dependent on funding levels, regulatory conditions, technological feasibility, and ecosystem partnerships. Roadmap delays or cancellations do not constitute breach of contract.
10. Abuse, Fraud, and Sanctions
The Project may deny, restrict, suspend, or terminate access for participants who attempt Sybil attacks, create multiple accounts, exploit VPNs to bypass regional controls, engage in referral abuse, manipulate follower counts or social engagement, violate AML/KYC rules, engage in harassment or disruptive behavior, or breach these Terms. The Project Team may freeze rewards, cancel allocations, and permanently ban offenders.
11. Referral Program
A. Airdrop Referral Reward (200 FIM)
Users earn 200 FIM for each referred user who signs up using the referral link, successfully completes Stripe verification, and passes anti-fraud checks.
B. ICO Referral Reward (2% in FIM)
Users earn 2% additional FIM calculated from the referred participant’s ICO purchase. Rewards are distributed after ICO completion.
C. X.com Sharing Reward (500 FIM)
Participants may receive 500 FIM by sharing the official FinnishMark promotional post on X.com (Twitter) subject to:
- The account must be at least 2 months old.
- It must have 50+ real followers.
- The post must include exact instructed text, provided hashtags, include official image or media, and remain public and unchanged until the token claim occurs.
- Verification is done both automatically and manually, including API-based account and follower checks, bot detection, engagement and authenticity diagnostics, and human manual review.
- Private posts, deleted posts, fake followers, botted engagement, or manipulated activity void the reward.
- The Project Team has final authority to accept or reject reward eligibility.
All referral rewards come from the promotional allocation (500,000,000 FIM). Unused referral tokens are burned.
12. Project Governance
The FinnishMark ecosystem is guided by the community and managed operationally by the Sauna Syndicate. A formal legal entity may be established where required for regulatory correspondence, exchange listings, compliance operations, tax management, or commercial partnerships. Governance structures may evolve without creating rights or guarantees.
13. Custody & Control
Participants acknowledge that private keys are solely their responsibility, the Project Team cannot recover lost seed phrases, and lost access, compromised wallets, or third-party hacks cannot be reversed. You understand that cryptocurrency wallets and networks operate autonomously and irreversibly.
14. Token Minting

Participants must use Phantom or Solflare. Use of exchange wallets (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken), custodial wallets, or unsupported wallets, may lead to irreversible loss of funds, failed token delivery, or inability to claim tokens. The Project is not liable for incorrect wallet usage.
15. Token Listings and Exchange Availability
FinnishMark guarantees that liquidity will be added to at least one DEX (Raydium and/or Meteora). The Project does not guarantee centralized exchange (CEX) listings, future liquidity depth, specific trading volume, or market stability. Participants must not rely on any speculative future listing.
17. Rewards
The ecosystem may introduce liquidity mining rewards, staking incentives, ecosystem gifts, community achievements, or special NFT-based bonus rounds. Rewards are discretionary and may change, expand, or terminate at any time.
18. Third-Party Integrations and External Services Disclaimer
FinnishMark interacts with numerous third-party services including wallets, RPC nodes, validators, Solana infrastructure, DEX platforms, social media (X.com), Cloudflare/CDN providers, analytics tools, and indexing services. The Project Team is not responsible for outages, downtime, hacks on external services, smart contract exploits in third-party protocols, transaction failures, incorrect pricing feeds, maintenance periods, API rate limits, withdrawal freezes, or exchange failures. Users interact with third-party platforms entirely at their own risk.
19. Taxes
Participants are responsible for income tax, capital gains tax, VAT where applicable, and international tax obligations. Project may submit information under FATCA, CRS, MiCA, and EU crypto asset frameworks if required.
