5. Gamification — XP, Reward Points & Rankings

BluePetra operates a gamification system including Experience Points (XP), Reward Points (RP), user ranks, and a leaderboard. The following rules govern this system:

• XP and RP are awarded according to our published economy rules and may change at any time;
• A weekly cap applies: you may only earn points for a specific quiz or essay once per week (resets Sunday);
• Passing thresholds are fixed: MCQ requires ≥60%, Essays require a Gemini AI score of ≥5/10;
• Daily Manna yields +5 XP per claim, with a +2 RP bonus for a 7-day streak;
• Reward Points (RP) exist only within the Platform. RP may be spent in-site — for example to redeem Badges or to convert into iCross Points at the published conversion rate — but RP themselves are never withdrawn, transferred off-Platform, sold, or redeemed for cash under any circumstance;
• We reserve the right to correct, adjust, or revoke points in cases of detected abuse or system error.

6. iCross Points

BluePetra operates an in-Platform points system (“iCross Points” or “iCross”). iCross is obtained only by converting Reward Points at a rate set by BluePetra and shown on the Shop page. BluePetra does not sell iCross Points in exchange for cash, cryptocurrency, or any other form of payment, and does not distribute iCross Points to any external account or wallet. By participating in this system, you acknowledge:

• iCross Points exist only as numbers recorded within the Platform. They are a fun, in-Platform reward for engagement, carry no guaranteed monetary value, are not a financial instrument, security, or investment of any kind, and grant no real-world rights, claims, or ownership;
• iCross Points are earned, not purchased, and stay in the Platform. You never pay BluePetra money to acquire iCross Points, and they are never withdrawn, transferred off-Platform, sold, or redeemed for cash under any circumstance. Nothing on this Platform is, or should be understood as, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security or investment;
• Reward Points and iCross Points may be redeemed in-Platform for digital cosmetic items such as Badges and Icons, at rates BluePetra sets and may change at any time;
• The Shop page's separate merchandise catalog (journals, books, apparel, and similar physical or digital products) is provided through independent third-party affiliate links; purchases made there are transacted directly with the third-party retailer using real currency and do not involve iCross Points, Reward Points, or any Platform-issued reward in any way;
• We reserve the right to correct, adjust, modify, suspend, or discontinue the iCross Points program, or any conversion rate, at any time.
