Truebit Protocol Terms of Use

Last modified: November 1, 2023

Acceptance of the Terms of Use

These terms of use are entered into by and between you and Truebit Co. (“Company”, “we” or “us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference, including our Privacy Policy (collectively, these “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of the Truebit Protocol (the “Protocol”), including any content and functionality available thereon, whether as a guest or a registered user.

 

If the user engages with the Protocol under authority from a different party or on another party’s behalf, then “you” (and its variants, including “your” and “yours”) as used herein refers to the person on whose behalf the Protocol is used (e.g., an employer). If the person engaging with the Protocol is an individual, acting in their own individual capacity, then “you” refers to that individual. If you have anyone using the Protocol on your behalf, you agree that you are responsible for the actions and inactions of all such persons, as they were your own.

 

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Protocol. By using the Protocol, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not use the Protocol.

 

The Protocol is offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older. By using the Protocol, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Company. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not use the Protocol.

 

Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all use of the Protocol thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in the Governing Law and Jurisdiction section below will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Protocol.

 

Your continued use of the Protocol following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page each time you use the Protocol so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you

Accessing the Protocol and Account Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Protocol, and any content or materials available thereon or therethrough, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Protocol is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Protocol, or third party content on the Protocol, or the entire Protocol, to users, including registered users.

You are responsible for:

  • Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Protocol.

  • Ensuring that all persons who access the Protocol through your internet connection are aware of these Terms of Use and comply with them.

To use the Protocol or some of the resources it offers, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Protocol that all the information you provide on the Protocol is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register with this Protocol or otherwise, including but not limited to through the use of any interactive features on the Protocol, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to this Protocol or portions of it using your username, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

We have the right to disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use.

You understand that your content may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. You also agree that all transactions and other actions you undertake on or using the Protocol are openly available to all other users on the blockchain, and potentially viewable by the general public.

You also understand that certain components of our infrastructure are decentralized, and that some or all of the hardware that hosts this decentralized infrastructure is provided by individuals who provide their own hardware for this purpose (the Node Providers, as defined below). You acknowledge and accept the risk that Node Providers are not under Company’s control, and may act independently (or fail to act in a manner you might prefer or expect).

WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR ANY ACTION OR INACTION OF NODE PROVIDERS. WE DO NOT UNDERTAKE TO REVIEW, CONFIRM THE ACCURACY, EFFECTIVENESS, COMPATIBILITY, OR SECURITY OF, OR OTHERWISE MONITOR ANY CONDUCT OF THE NODE PROVIDERS OR THE STATE OF THEIR EQUIPMENT. WE HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR, AND HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES RELATING TO, THE CONDUCT OF NODE PROVIDERS OR THEIR EQUIPMENT. YOU HEREBY INDEMNIFY AND HOLD US HARMLESS AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, DAMAGES, OR LOSSES YOU MAY SUFFER DUE TO THE ACTION OR INACTION OF ANY NODE PROVIDER.

YOUR USE OF ANY CODE OR CONTENT PROVIDED BY ANY PARTY OTHER THAN COMPANY IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. ALL SUCH CODE IS PROVIDED ‘AS IS’ AND ‘AS AVAILABLE.’

Except for User-Provided Code, if any, the Protocol and its entire contents, features, and functionality (including but not limited to all information, smart contracts or other software, text, displays, images, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof), are owned by Company, its licensors, or other providers of such material and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

These Terms of Use permit you to use the Protocol for your personal, non-commercial use only. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any of the material on the Protocol.

Node Providers

If you elect to do so, you may cause your computing devices to become part of the Protocol’s distributed infrastructure (you will then be referred to herein as a “Node Provider”). In order to serve as a Node Provider, you will need to download software that we provide to you. We hereby grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use such software that we may make available to you for the sole purpose of serving as a Node Provider. By engaging in any activity as a Node Provider, you automatically authorize us to use your devices and hardware as part of the Protocol’s distributed infrastructure.

 

YOU HEREBY INDEMNIFY AND HOLD US HARMLESS AGAINST ANY DAMAGES OR LOSSES TO YOUR DEVICES, HARDWARE, AND EQUIPMENT WHICH MAY RESULT FROM YOU SERVING AS A NODE PROVIDER.

 

We may, in our sole discretion and at any time without notice, grant, deny, or revoke your role as a Node Provider. YOU HEREBY RELEASE US FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH OUR DECISIONS REGARDING YOUR, OR ANY OTHER USER’S, ABILITY TO SERVE OR NOT SERVE AS A NODE PROVIDER.
