Terms of use

Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using the Interface for any reason. Your use of the Interface is conditional upon your agreement to the Terms set out below. If you do not agree and you do not give your consent to be bound to the Terms, do not use the Interface and, if presented with the option to “accept ” to the Terms of use, only select “accept” if you certify that you consent to be bound by the Terms.

If you do not meet the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8 of the Terms or are otherwise not in strict compliance with these Terms, you are expressly prohibited from using, accessing, or deriving any benefit from the Interface and you must not attempt to access or use the Interface. Use of a virtual private network (e.g., a VPN) or other means by ineligible persons to access or use the Interface is prohibited, and prohibited uses may attract legal liability for fraudulent use of the Interface.

These Terms of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated by reference (collectively, the Terms) govern access to and the use of the Interface by each individual, entity, group, or association (collectively User, Users, You) who views, interacts, links to or otherwise uses or derives any benefit from the Interface.

By accessing, browsing, or using the Interface, or by acknowledging your agreement to the Terms on the Interface, you agree that you have read, understood, and consented to be bound by all of the Terms and Privacy Policy which are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

Importantly, when you agree to these Terms by using or accessing the Interface, you agree to a binding arbitration provision and a class action waiver, both of which impact your rights as to how disputes are resolved.

From time to time and at any time, the Terms may be changed, amended, or revised without notice or consultation. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, then you should not continue to access or use the Interface.

Binding Provisions

  1. Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

You agree to bring all disputes or claims connected to the Interface in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff in or member of any class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding. Further, you irrevocably waive the right to demand a trial by jury.

  1. Governing Law

You agree that the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Agreement and any Dispute, except to the extent governed by federal law.

  1. About the Interface

The Interface aggregates and publishes publicly available third-party information about the Protocol.

The Interface also offers interaction methods whereby the User can indicate a transaction that the User would like to perform in connection with the publicly available Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts. The interaction methods include accessing the functionalities of the publicly deployed Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts for Users to self-authorize token transfers and self-mining utility tokens. When used in this way, the interface can generate a draft transaction message which a User can independently use in conjunction with a third-party wallet application or device to conduct transactions on any of the relevant blockchains.

  1. About the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts

The Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts are software source codes freely licensed to the public.

  1. Interface relationship to the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts

Using the relevant blockchain systems, third-party supplied wallets, devices, validator nodes or the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts does not require use of this Interface. Anyone with an internet connection can connect directly to the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts without accessing or using the Interface.

The Interface maintainers do not own, operate or control the blockchain systems, wallets or devices, validator nodes, or the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts.

The Interface aggregates and publishes publicly available information about the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts in a user-friendly and convenient format. Users may also access code repositories for the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts on platforms like Github.

By combining publicly available information with the User’s interactions with the Interface, the Interface can draft standard transaction messages compatible with the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts. Standard transaction messages are designed to accomplish the User’s operational goals as expressed through the interactions.

All draft transaction messages are delivered by the web Interface via an API to a compatible third-party wallet application or device selected by the User after pressing the “Connect Wallet” (or similar) button on the Interface.

The User must personally review and authorize all transaction messages that the User wishes to send to blockchain systems; this requires the User to sign the relevant transaction message with a private cryptographic key inaccessible to the Interface or the Interface maintainers, or Interface contributors. The use of such associated private cryptographic keys is beyond the control of the Interface, the Interface maintainers, or contributors.

The User-authorized message will then be broadcasted to blockchain systems through the wallet application or device and the User may pay a network fee to have the transaction message delivered through the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts and record the results on the appropriate blockchain—resulting in a token transaction being completed on that blockchain.

The Interface maintainers and the Interface are not agents or intermediaries of the User. The Interface or the Interface maintainers do not store, have access to or control over any tokens, private keys, passwords, accounts or other property of the User. The Interface or the Interface maintainers are not capable of performing transactions or sending transaction messages on behalf of the User. The Interface or the Interface maintainers do not hold and cannot purchase, sell or trade any tokens. All transactions relating to the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts are executed and recorded solely through the User’s interactions with the respective blockchains. The interactions are not under the control of or affiliated with the Interface maintainers or the Interface.

  1. Risks, Disclaimers, and Limitations of Liability

Each User hereby acknowledges and agrees, and consents to, and assumes the risks of, the matters described in Section 13 of the Terms.

13.1 Fork Handling

Interface maintainers cannot anticipate, control or influence the occurrence or outcome of forks, and do not assume any risk, liability or obligation in connection therewith.

13.2 Essential Third-Party Software Dependencies

Interacting with the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts does not require the use of the Interface, but the Interface is only a convenient and user-friendly option of reading and displaying data from the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts and generating standard draft transaction messages compatible with the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts. The User may choose to interact with the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts using softwares other than the Interface. As the Interface does not provide wallet software applications or nodes for blockchain systems, such software constitutes an essential third-party software and user dependency without which the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts cannot be used and tokens cannot be traded or used. Furthermore, the Interface may use APIs and servers of Interface maintainers or third parties and there are no guarantees as to the continued operation, maintenance, availability, or security of any of the foregoing dependencies.

13.3 Tax Issues

The tax consequences of purchasing, selling, holding, transferring, or locking tokens or otherwise utilizing the Pond0x Smart Contracts and the Mining Smart Contracts are uncertain and may vary by jurisdiction.
