# Dispute Mechanism on Fliq

We're launching a dispute system that lets you challenge market resolutions you believe are incorrect. Think a market was resolved wrong? Now you can do something about it.

### How It Works

#### Step 1: Spot an Error

See a market resolution that contradicts the official source of truth? You can dispute it.

#### Step 2: Stake Your Conviction

* Click "Dispute" on the resolved market
* Stake 10 USDT (requires transaction approval)
* Only ONE person can dispute per market (first-come, first-served)

#### Step 3: Review Process

* Market settlement extends *by* 8 hours
* We review your dispute against the official source of truth
* Decision is made based on factual evidence

#### Step 4: Results

**If you're RIGHT:**

* Get your 10 USDT back
* Receive bonus rewards ( 25 USDT additional reward) 
* Market resolution gets corrected

**If you're WRONG:**

* Lose your 10 USDT to the platform
* Original resolution stands

### Important Rules

#### Settlement Time Extension

Once disputed, ALL markets extend to 8-hour settlement, which gets added additionally over the existing settlement time:

* Football markets (normally 1 hour) → 1+8 hours
* All other markets → 8 hours additional
* This prevents system abuse

#### One Dispute Per Market

* First person to dispute gets the slot
* No multiple disputes on same market
* Act fast if you spot an error

#### What Qualifies as a Valid Dispute

✅ **Resolution contradicts official source of truth** \
✅ **Clear factual error in outcome** \
✅ **Market resolved against stated criteria**

❌ **You disagree with the result** \
❌ **Your personal interpretation differs** \
❌ **You lost money on the trade**

### Things to Remember

#### Before You Dispute

* **Check the source of truth**: Make sure the official source actually supports your claim
* **Review market terms**: Understand exactly what was being asked
* **Be confident**: You're risking 10 USDT
* **Consider timing**: You're extending settlement for all users

#### Common Mistakes

* Disputing because you lost money (not valid)
* Using different sources than what's stated (not valid)
* Misunderstanding what the market was asking (not valid)
* Emotional reactions to unexpected outcomes (not valid)

#### Best Practices

* Screenshot evidence from the official source
* Act quickly (first-come, first-served)
* Only dispute genuine errors
* Accept the final decision

### Examples

#### Valid Dispute

**Market:** "Will Team A win the match?" **Official Source:** ESPN shows Team A won 2-1 **Resolution:** Team B declared winner **Dispute:** Valid - contradicts official source

#### Invalid Dispute

**Market:** "Will Team A win the match?" **Official Source:** ESPN shows Team B won 2-1 **Resolution:** Team B declared winner **Your feeling:** "Team A played better and deserved to win" **Dispute:** Invalid - you disagree with outcome, not resolution accuracy

More sports and automated systems coming soon. The dispute mechanism ensures everything stays accurate as we scale.
