PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, AND OBLIGATIONS. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS INCLUDE VARIOUS LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT AND/OR USING OUR SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND ALL OF THE TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE.
These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you (“you,” “your” or “User”) and SelfKey DAO (“SelfKey DAO,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Terms govern your access to and use of the SELFKEY.ORG website and any software, tools, protocols, smart contracts, features, or functionalities provided on or associated with the SELFKEY.ORG website (including mobile and desktop apps, if available), if otherwise not specified in these Terms (collectively, the “WebApp,” the “Service,” or “Services”).
If you agree to the Terms on behalf of a business organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to legally bind such business organization, and you further agree that you are binding both you and the business organization to the Terms. In such a case, “you,” “your,” or “User” will refer to and apply both to you and the business organization.
You may find that SELFKEY DAO may refer to other websites and services. Please note that each website and service may be fully independent, may have its Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, and has different entities administering or accompanying their operations; or these websites and services may be community governed. Please, do not identify the present Service with any other websites and services; they are independently governed, and it is your responsibility to review and become familiar with any such services and websites, as well as with any updates or changes in their activities.
YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE IMMEDIATE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES, AND YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT YOU HEREBY LOSE THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND/OR THE RIGHT TO REQUEST THE RETURN, INCLUDING THE RETURN OF ANY TOKENS
To access and use the Service, you may be obliged to pass the identification, verification, and/or other checks (together the “Check”) to be carried out by a third party (“Credential Issuer” or “Certifier”). For this purpose, a Credential Issuer may require you to provide information and documents which shall be true, accurate, and complete.
For passing the Check, you will be directed to a Credential Issuer’s website for the completion of all necessary identification and/or verification procedures. The respective Credential Issuer, not SelfKey DAO, bears the responsibility for the Check (if any). Any information you provide may be subject to verification, including, but not limited to, validation against third-party databases or the verification of one or more official government or legal documents that confirm your identity, your location, and your ability to act on behalf of your business. You authorize such Credential Issuer to make any inquiries necessary to validate your identity and other information within the scope of your request, subject to applicable law.
SELFKEY DAO may impose on you a fee for the Check in the amount specified in the WebApp. You acknowledge and agree that all information you provide with regard to fee payment is accurate, current, and complete. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the payment method you provide and the payment type SELFKEY.ORG requires (including payment with cryptocurrency, if applicable). The Check may not be processed until payment has been received in full. You agree to pay the fee for the Check, including any required gas fees, and all applicable taxes. SELFKEY DAO does not guarantee a particular result of the Check and does not provide refunds for any payments irrespectively of the outcomes of the Check and irrespectively of whether the Check is carried out and to what extent.
To access and use certain portions of SELFKEY.ORG, you may be asked to register an Account. Certain portions of WebApp may be available to visitors, subject to these Terms, including those portions before your Account registration is accepted. We reserve the right to decline a registration or to add an Account of any type for any lawful reason, including supply and demand, cost to maintain data, or other business considerations.
You hereby represent and warrant that:
By your application to use the Services, you expressly grant Credential Issuers the right:
If SELFKEY DAO, in its sole discretion, decides that you pass the Check:
SELFKEY DAO and Credential Issuers may require you to provide additional information and documents in certain circumstances, such as at the request of any government authority, as any applicable law or regulation dictates, or to investigate a potential violation of these Terms. In such cases, SELFKEY DAO, in its sole discretion, may disable your Account and block your ability to access the Service until such additional information and documents are processed by WebApp and/or Credential Issuers. If you do not provide complete and accurate information in response to such a request, SELFKEY DAO may refuse to restore your access to the Service.
If no changes are introduced by us, you may connect your Ethereum address to WebApp (through Metamask or another wallet integration, if any) to access the Services. Your ID on the Ethereum blockchain network may serve as a unique identifier that allows your verified data to be referenced on the Ethereum blockchain network. Because it is stored on the Ethereum blockchain network, you agree and understand that the unique identifier will be public and immutable. We cannot guarantee that your unique identifier may not be able to be referenced back to you, and, further, your data on the WebApp could not be compromised. You understand and agree that your ID on the Ethereum blockchain and any data associated with the WebApp are not guaranteed to be anonymous or fully secure.
SELFKEY DAO reserves the right to prohibit/limit your access to the Services, decline registration of an Account, or terminate an existing Account, for any lawful reason, including supply and demand, cost to maintain data or other business considerations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree that SELFKEY DAO has the right to immediately suspend your account, pause or cancel your access to the Services, or close your Account if we suspect, in our sole discretion, that (1) your Account is being used for any illegal activity; (2) you have concealed or provided false identification information or other details; (3) you have engaged in fraudulent activity; (4) you are using, employing, or operating bots or other forms of automation and/or multiple Accounts to engage in any activity; or (5) you have otherwise acted in violation of these Terms. SELFKEY DAO discloses the outcomes of the Check and/or reasons for Account termination to you at its sole discretion.
Your access and use of the Service may also be interrupted from time to time for any of several reasons, including, without limitation, the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating, maintenance, or repair of the Service, or other actions that SELFKEY DAO, in its sole discretion, may elect to take. We reserve the right to disassociate or otherwise invalidate any Credential and/or NFT in our sole discretion without any further obligation or liability to you.
The Terms apply to the SELF Token Program (the “Program”) under which you may be eligible to receive and/or mint an ERC20 cryptographic work token called “SELF” (for the purposes of these Terms, the “Program” is included in the term “Services”). In these Terms, a SELF holder is called a “Holder” (each Holder is a “User” for these Terms).
THE SELFKEY.ORG WEBSITE PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE PROGRAM, WHICH MAY INCLUDE A DECENTRALIZED, COMMUNITY-GOVERNED PROTOCOL DEPLOYED ON A BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK, AND PROVIDES BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE SELFKEY.ORG. YOU SHOULD NOT TAKE, OR REFRAIN FROM TAKING, ANY ACTION BASED ON ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE SELFKEY.ORG WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION WE MAKE AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY FINANCIAL, LEGAL, TECHNICAL, OR OTHER DECISIONS INVOLVING THE PROGRAM, YOU SHOULD SEEK INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE FROM A LICENSED AND QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL IN THE AREA FOR WHICH SUCH ADVICE WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.
If no changes are introduced by us, through the SELFKEY.ORG website, you may participate in the Program and work for SELF Tokens and other awards (if any). The WebApp may utilize multiple smart contracts that calculate the number of SELF Tokens and awards you may be eligible to generate under the Program (if any). You can also take part in performing various Tasks and generate a reputation, as is mentioned in detail in the respective section of these Terms.
The WebApp may allow you (or require you) to stake (lock up) SELF or other tokens to support your Credential(s), strengthen the system, and/or be eligible for particular Program rewards. By staking, you accept the terms of having that stake slashed if your identity is challenged successfully by our system. The slashing may be activated or deactivated. The staking function may or may not have a time lock. If the staked amount is withdrawn before the time lock expires, the contract may take a particular percentage from the staked amount as a penalty. Withdrawing your stake will stop any future generation of SELF and may have other consequences in the future. The staking does not guarantee and is not designed for any financial income. The sole purpose of staking is to secure your Credential. Staking feature isn't like traditional staking you might find in other crypto projects. It's a mechanism designed with the main objective of strengthening ecosystem and supporting the digital identities of users.
We may issue, update, change, replace or cancel SELF Token economic models. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. You waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes or modifications.
The Program may include SELF token airdrops (the “Airdrops”). We may solely set out and modify any peculiarities of the Airdrops, including the eligibility criteria, the duration, the number of tokens allocated, the anti-fraud measures, and the distribution method or the allocation of tokens. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Airdrop at any time, for any reason, without prior notice. By participating in the Airdrop, you agree that we and SELFKEY DAO Parties (as they are defined in these Terms) shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from or in connection with your participation in the Airdrop or the use or inability to use the SELF Tokens. We make no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the Airdrop, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or any implied warranties arising from the course of dealing or usage of trade. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SELFKEY DAO and SELFKEY DAO Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with your participation in the Airdrop.
Using the Services, you may be able to apply to receive a Credential from a Credential Issuer (the “Credential Issuer’s Services”).
You should follow the instructions on a Credential Issuer’s website and review a Credential Issuer’s privacy policy. A Credential Issuer collects information and documents from your application (your “Personal Data”); you may be required to answer a series of questions confirming your identity, status, and residence; you may be required to upload a scanned copy of your identity document, along with a “selfie” photograph. You should also pay the required fee (if any). If you pass the Check, you may receive a Credential. In some circumstances, a Credential Issuer may request additional information for clarification purposes.
If a Credential Issuer can confirm your identity, but your Personal Data does not pass the check against particular requirements (depending on the set of claims you want to associate with your Credential), a Credential Issuer will not issue you a Credential. A Credential Issuer will not write anything to your address on the Ethereum platform (“Address,” or “Ethereum address”), and a Credential Issuer will not otherwise directly record anything on-chain that you did not receive a Credential. You will not be entitled to a refund of the fee.
If a Credential Issuer cannot process or finish your application for any reason, then your application will be canceled as undetermined. This may occur for a variety of reasons, including 1) a Credential Issuer is unable to confirm your identity; 2) there are technical problems with the Services or Credential Issuer’s services, systems, or the Ethereum protocol; or 3) there are logistical issues with our or Credential Issuer’s processes. If your application is canceled, a Credential Issuer will not write anything to your Address, and a Credential Issuer will not otherwise directly record anything on-chain regarding your application status.
We provide the WebApp to enable Users, Credential Issuers and “Relying Parties” (those who rely on Credentials) to find and transact directly with each other. We do not find or recommend Credential Issuers and Relying Parties to Users, and we do not find or recommend Users for Certifiers and Relying Parties. Through the WebApp, Credential Issuers and Relying Parties may be notified of Users that may be seeking the services they offer, and uses may be notified of Credential Issuers and Relying Parties that may offer the services they seek. At all times, however, Users are responsible for evaluating and determining the suitability of any transaction that they may wish to enter into with one another.
If Users decide to enter into transactions, they will enter into agreements for products or services (“Product/Service Agreements”) that are solely between you and Certifiers or Relying Parties. Such Product/Service Agreements are directly between the Users, and SelfKey DAO is not a party to any Product/Service Agreement.
If Users are exploring whether to enter into a Product/Service Agreement, such Users have complete discretion both with regard to whether to enter into such Product/Service Agreement and, if they do so, with regard to its terms. Further, after entering into a Product/Service Agreement, Users may enter into any additional written agreements that they deem appropriate (e.g., confidentiality agreements), provided that any such agreements do not conflict with, narrow, or expand SelfKey DAO’s rights and obligations under the Terms of Service.
SelfKey DAO makes no representations about and does not guarantee, and you agree not to hold SelfKey DAO responsible for (a) the quality, safety, or legality of services or products offered under Product/Service Agreements; (b) the qualifications, background, or identities of Certifiers or Relying Parties offering products or services under Product/Service Agreements; (c) the ability or willingness of Certifiers or Relying Parties to deliver products or services under Product/Service Agreements; or (d) the ability of Certifiers or Relying Parties to pay for services or products under Product/Service Agreements.
Any information on the WebApp about Certifiers or Relying Parties is not a guarantee or warranty of quality or ability or willingness of Certifiers or Relying Parties to satisfactorily complete a Product/Service Agreement.
You acknowledge, agree, and understand that:
If you receive a Credential, you understand and agree that:
You understand that laws and regulations regarding “Know-Your-Customer,” “Anti-Money Laundering,” and “Combating the Financing of Terrorism” are constantly evolving, which affects the Services and Credentials applicability. Changes to these laws and regulations could cause your Credential to no longer be compliant, which may cause us or a Credential Issuer to revoke your Credential.
Your Credential is revocable. We may revoke your ability to access the Services if we become aware that:
The Services may allow you to mint NFTs under certain conditions specified by us. For example, at our discretion, we may implement the feature under which the rewards for liquidity pool mining (if any) come to Holders in the form of NFTs. SELF’s staking contracts may provide the ability for Users to stake SELF and other supported tokens and mint NFTs in return. NFTs may have features to keep each unique and noteworthy.
We may allow a particular amount of SELF Tokens to be burned whenever staking tokens or minting NFTs. Burning SELF may be a mandatory step for specific transaction types.
You are responsible for all payments, fees, and costs when engaging in any transactions involving SELF, other tokens, NFTs, including, without limitation, transaction fees (e.g., “gas” fees) and all other fees associated with your use of the Services or the services of third-party vendors, including but not limited to purchasing, trading and “burning” an NFT and SELF. You also are solely responsible for payment of all national, federal, state, local, or other taxes of any jurisdiction, of whatever nature, whether now in effect or imposed in the future by any national federal, state, local, international, or any other governmental authority or taxing jurisdiction, including, without limitation, any income, sales, use, value-added (VAT), goods and services and other taxes and duties associated with your use of the Services, the services of third-party vendors, and your minting of NFTs from any party. You are solely responsible for any tax reporting for transactions in which you may be a seller of NFTs.
Users may have the ability to sell their (not SoulBound) NFTs, and other Users may buy them. You may have the limited right to sell or transfer your NFTs on particular marketplaces. We do not monitor or control any marketplace purchases or sales or any other activity beyond that on the SELFKEY.ORG website. NFT resale royalty fees at the amount determined by us may be collected.
You agree that the NFTs are not and shall not be based upon or redeemable for any tangible or physical item, fractionalized, or capable of use as a coupon, investment, security, or other financial instrument or knowingly marketed in any other manner that would cause transactions to be governed by any applicable securities laws and are not convertible virtual currencies.
Through the WebApp you may conduct a number of functions with regard to its integrated wallet platform (the “Wallet Platform”). The Wallet Platform may enable you to manage various digital assets associated with your Account. The Wallet Platform is a software platform only, and you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the management of your digital assets through this software platform.
The Wallet Platform may allow you to manage a finite list of select digital assets, and not every digital asset is capable of being managed. We reserve the right to add or remove particular digital assets from the scope of the Wallet Platform at any time without notice. The fact that any specific digital asset is featured within the scope of the Wallet Platform should not be interpreted as any form of endorsement or promotion by us.
The management of your Digital Assets includes your ability to transfer away your digital assets, or to receive digital assets from others (each such event, a “Transaction”). The choice to enter into Transactions is solely your own, and you acknowledge that we do not offer or undertake to verify the identity of any counterparty with whom you may choose to interact. You shall have sole responsibility for identifying and verifying the counterparties to Transactions that you elect to enter into, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no responsibility or liability in connection with any decision by you to enter into a Transaction. We shall have no liability to you in the event that you send digital assets to an unintended recipient.
If you intend on making a Transaction that is especially important (for example, involving digital assets of a large value or involving a strict deadline), we recommend building in a 24-hour grace period for confirmation of deposits or transfers. If such deposits or transfers seem to fail or are delayed beyond what should be expected due to the current congestion on the network protocol, please contact us immediately at Legal {at) selfkey.org.
You acknowledge and agree that we have no ability to control your Transactions in any way, including, without limitation:
It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes or withholding obligations apply to the Transactions made using the Wallet Platform, and it is your responsibility to report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. We are not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your Transactions in Your Jurisdiction, nor are we responsible for collecting, reporting, withholding or remitting any taxes or other amounts arising from any such Transactions.
Through the WebApp you may access an online marketplace in which you and various service providers can identify each other, advertise, buy, and sell products or services and transact directly (the “Marketplace Platform”). The Marketplace Platform is a software platform only, and you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for your actions and interactions through this software platform. SelfKey DAO does not find or recommend any service providers. Through the Marketplace Platform, service providers may be notified of clients that may be seeking the services they offer, and clients may be notified of service providers that may offer the services they seek. At all times, however, you are responsible for evaluating and determining the suitability of any business transaction that they may wish to enter into with one another. The legal status of the WebApp, determined by these terms, applied to the Marketplace Platform to the fullest extent.
We may implement the Ethereum Name Service (“ENS”) features service (the “ENS Service,” included in the term “Service” in these Terms), which allows Users to receive or purchase ENS domains as subdomains to our ENS domain. We may provide a platform for Users to manage and utilize their ENS subdomains, subject to these Terms.
You are solely responsible for the content associated with your ENS subdomain and any actions taken under your ENS subdomain, including any content or activities that violate applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights. You agree not to use the ENS Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, or malicious purposes, or to engage in any activities that may interfere with the proper functioning of the Service or harm other Users.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate your access to the ENS Service, with or without prior notice, if you breach any of these Terms, engage in any activities that may harm the Service or other Users, or for any other reason deemed necessary by us.
Users acknowledge and agree to their responsibility to review and accept any third-party terms and conditions related to ENS domains (if any).
KEY is an ERC20 cryptographic work token that is in free circulation and is not controlled by us in any way. We disclaim any responsibility in connection with the KEY token.
The WebApp may utilize the KEY tokens to the extent decided by us, in which case the provisions of these Terms regarding assumption of risks and limitation of liability will apply to KEY tokens and their holders.
Regarding your legal commitment, you hereby represent and warrant that you have the capacity to enter into these Terms and the transactions contemplated under these Terms, and hereby agree to these Terms, including the Privacy Policy.
Regarding your Credentials, you hereby represent and warrant that:
Regarding SELF Tokens and NFTs, you hereby represent and warrant that:
Regarding distributed ledger technologies, you hereby represent and warrant that:
Regarding smart contracts, you understand that your activities may be controlled by automated protocols that involve a number of smart contracts. You hereby represent and warrant that you are experienced in utilizing smart contracts and possess a sophisticated understanding of their functionality. Further, you understand there are significant risks inherent with the use of smart contracts, which include, without limitation:
Regarding the SELFKEY.ORG website and the Program, you hereby represent and warrant that:
The Services may allow Users to create a profile where they can post certain information about themselves and display NFTs minted using the Services (collectively, “User Content”). User Content will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. You represent and warrant that all of your User Content does and will comply with these Terms. You understand and agree that you are responsible for any User Content you submit or contribute, and you, not SELFKEY DAO, has full responsibility for such content, including its legality, reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness. We are not responsible or liable to any third party for the content, accuracy, or appropriateness of any User Content. Although we are not required to monitor any User Content, we may, at our sole discretion, remove User Content at any time and for any reason without notice.
You hereby agree:
Due to the openly-accessible and possibly permanent nature of the Ethereum protocol, certain information could be derived about you due to your interaction with the Services, including:
You may have the ability to generate rewards for your work, creating new connections to the WebApp. You shall communicate the purpose of this feature correctly: the Services allow Users to generate rewards for helping the network grow and facilitating technological strengthening. In this regard, you accept and acknowledge:

Bridging in the context of blockchain refers to transferring digital assets or information from one blockchain network to another (the “Bridging Services”). This is often necessary due to the different protocols and technologies used by various blockchain networks, which can create barriers to direct interoperability. Bridging services aim to overcome these barriers, enabling smoother and more integrated user experiences.
The Bridging Services that may be available through the WebApp are provided by third-party platforms and not by SelfKey DAO. By opting to use the Bridging Services, you acknowledge and agree that the respective third-party platform is solely responsible for the bridging process, including but not limited to the security, execution, and transfer of assets or information across networks.
SelfKey DAO makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the third-party Bridging Services and shall not be held liable for any loss, damage, or issues arising from using such services. Your use of the Bridging Services is at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for ensuring that you have understood the terms, conditions, risks, and functionalities associated with the third-party Bridging Services before proceeding.
You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence on the third-party platform providing the Bridging Services. This includes, but is not limited to, reviewing their security protocols, terms of service, privacy policies, and any other relevant documentation or information that may help you make an informed decision about using their services.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SelfKey DAO, its affiliates, officers, agents, and licensors from any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Bridging Services provided by the third-party platform.
SelfKey DAO reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the availability of the Bridging Services through the WebApp at any time, without notice. You agree that SelfKey DAO will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Bridging Services, even if it occurs while you use them.
We reserve the right to take action, with or without advance notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms. This may include: removing the ability to view NFT on the Service or use our Service to interact with NFT; disabling your ability to access our Service, and/or other actions.
You agree that you will not violate any law, contract, intellectual property, or other third-party right and that you are solely responsible for your conduct and content while accessing or using the Service. You also agree that you will not:
You represent and warrant that you will comply with all Applicable Laws (e.g., local, state, federal, and other laws) when using the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, by using the Service, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to the U.S. or other sovereign country sanctions and/or embargoes; (b) you have not been identified as a Specially Designated National or placed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited, sanctioned, or restricted parties; (c) you are not subject of other sanction rules of any sovereign nation or organization. If Your Jurisdictions or other circumstances change such that the above representations are no longer accurate, you agree to immediately cease using or accessing the Services, and further agree and understand that your Account may be closed. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your access and use of the Service in a particular country, territory, or jurisdiction does not violate any applicable laws.
Users agree not to engage in any coordinated actions or activities that could be harmful or disruptive to the Service, including but not limited to attempting to manipulate decisions, processes, or outcomes related to the Service. SelfKey DAO reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately ban any user from accessing or using the Service and any associated services if SelfKey DAO reasonably believes that the user is engaged in coordinated actions against SelfKey DAO. SelfKey DAO may, at its discretion, investigate any suspected coordinated actions and may take any action it deems appropriate, including but not limited to banning users, reporting such actions to the relevant authorities, or pursuing legal remedies.
By creating an Account, you consent to receive electronic communications from the WebApp (e.g., via email, push notification, text messages, or other types of messages). These communications may include notices about your Account and are part of your relationship with us. We may also send you promotional communications via email we think will be of interest to you. You understand that you are not required to provide this consent as a condition of using the Service and you may opt out of these communications (with the possible exception of important service announcements and administrative messages).
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that SELFKEY DAO, and our respective past, present, and future employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants, equity holders, suppliers, vendors, service providers, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, representatives, predecessors, successors, and assigns (individually and collectively, the “SELFKEY DAO Parties”) are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages arising from these Terms, the Services, the Program, or any products, SELF Token, NFTs, or third-party sites and products, under any theory of liability, including without limitation, damages for loss of profits (if any), use, data, goodwill, or other intangibles, whether caused by strict liability, tort (including negligence), breach of contract, or otherwise, even if foreseeable and even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
The maximum aggregate liability of SELFKEY DAO and SELFKEY DAO Parties arising out of or related to these Terms, the access to and use of the Service, content, NFTs, or any SELFKEY DAO products or services shall not exceed the greater of (a) $50 or (b) the amount received by SELFKEY DAO for its service directly relating to the items that are the subject of the claim. The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above-stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.
No Holder (or former Holder) shall be liable for the obligations of SELFKEY DAO, including any obligations owed by such holder in connection with any breach of these Terms. A debt, obligation, or other liability of the SELFKEY DAO is solely the debt, obligation, or other liability of SELFKEY DAO. Holders (or former Holders) are not personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or otherwise for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the SELFKEY DAO solely by reason of being or acting as a holder. The failure of the SELFKEY DAO to observe formalities relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its activities and affairs is not a ground for imposing liability on a Holder for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the SELFKEY DAO.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you in this case. Some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so this limitation may not apply to personal injury claims.
We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of our obligations under these Terms, including when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from any events beyond SELFKEY DAO's ability to control, including acts of God; flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, pandemics, tsunami, explosion, war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest, government order, law, or action, embargoes or blockades, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, shortage of adequate or suitable Internet connectivity, telecommunication breakdown or shortage of adequate power or electricity, and other similar events beyond our control.
Access to, and use of, the Service, products, NFTs, or third-party sites and products are at your own discretion and risk, and you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or mobile device or loss of data resulting therefrom.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, and share personal data about you (if any). By submitting personal data through our Service, you agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy and you expressly consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
These Terms may describe the anticipated future of the WebApp and the Services, and contains forward-looking statements that are based on our beliefs and assumptions at the present time. The Services are under development and are constantly updated, and accordingly, if and when the Services are completed, they may differ significantly from the Services set out in these Terms. No representation or warranty is given as to the achievement or reasonableness of any plans, future projections, or prospects and nothing in the Terms is or should be relied upon as a promise or representation as to the future.
These Terms and your access to and use of the Service shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of a jurisdiction selected by SELFKEY DAO (without regard to conflict of law rules, or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction).
You hereby irrevocably waive and agree not to assert in any suit, action, or proceeding, any claim that (a) you are not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, or (b) such suit, action, or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (c) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.
Both you and SELFKEY DAO agree to bring any claim or dispute on an individual basis only, and not on a class or collective basis on behalf of others. There will be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard, or litigated as a class or collective action, or as a member in any such class or collective proceeding.
If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by SELFKEY DAO will terminate automatically. Additionally, notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, with or without notice and in our sole discretion, to suspend, disable, terminate, or delete your Account and/or your ability to access or use the Service (or any part of the foregoing) at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us.
If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause, or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause, or provision, or any other term, clause, or provision of these Terms.
All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of these Terms by SELFKEY DAO or you. Termination will not limit any of SELFKEY DAO other rights or remedies at law or in equity.
Each Holder agrees to perform all further acts and to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any document (including tax forms and information) that may reasonably be necessary to carry out the provisions of these Terms.
THE SELF TOKENS AND NFTS HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR THE LAWS OF ANY COUNTRY OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. THEY PROVIDE NO RIGHT TO ANY PROFITS OR LOSSES OF SELFKEY DAO, BUT ONLY LIMITED GOVERNANCE RIGHTS IN THE FUTURE.
It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes or withholding obligations apply to any transactions within or in connection with WebApp. It is your responsibility to report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. SelfKey DAO is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply in Your Jurisdiction to any transaction, nor is SelfKey DAO responsible for collecting, reporting, withholding or remitting any taxes or other amounts arising from any transaction.
The WebApp is a software platform only, and you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for your actions and interactions through this software platform. The functionality of the Services may vary depending on the stage of their development.
You are responsible for providing the mobile device, wireless service plan, software, Internet connections, and/or other equipment or services that you need to use the WebApp. We do not guarantee that the WebApp can be accessed and used on any particular device or with any particular service plan. We do not guarantee that the WebApp or Service will be available in any particular geographic location.
These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of SELFKEY DAO, and SELFKEY DAO failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect.
Even though SELFKEY DAO drafted the Terms, you represent that you had ample time to review and decide whether to agree to the Terms. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation of the Terms arises, no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring you or SELFKEY DAO because of the authorship of any provision of the Terms.
Because we have a growing number of services, we sometimes need to provide additional terms for specific services (and such services are deemed part of the “Service” hereunder and shall also be subject to these Terms). Those additional terms and conditions, which are available with the relevant service, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those services.
You acknowledge and agree that SELFKEY DAO affiliates may be third-party beneficiaries to this Terms and that such SELFKEY DAO affiliates may be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision within the Terms that confers a benefit on (or rights in favor of) them. Other than the foregoing, no other person or business organization shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Terms or to the other provisions of the Terms.
SELFKEY DAO reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and at our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms. By continuing to access or use the Service, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference effective as of the date these Terms are updated. It is your sole responsibility to review the Terms from time to time to view such changes and to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Service. Keep in mind that changes to these Terms are not simply changes to a document; they are changes to the operational and governance procedures of the Services. Since the Services are under development and are constantly updated, these Terms cannot cover all issues that arise. Therefore, you acknowledge and agree to treat announcements and documents we publish on the SELFKEY.ORG website as binding rules and regulations along with these Terms.
