CONVERGENCE FOUNDATION, IS THE DEVELOPER OF A SUITE OF EXPERIMENTAL BLOCKCHAIN-ORIENTED FUNCTIONALITIES. USING THESE FUNCTIONALITIES (INCLUDING VIA THE INTERFACE ON OUR WEBSITE) POSES SIGNIFICANT RISKS TO YOU AND YOUR ONLINE ASSETS. THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THESE RISKS AND YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, AS WELL AS CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS, AND EXCLUSIONS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO YOU AND YOUR RIGHTS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.
THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.
BY USING THE WEBSITE OR OUR SERVICES, YOU ACCEPT AND ARE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
YOU MAY NOT USE OUR WEBSITE OR SERVICES IF YOU: (A) DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS; (B) ARE NOT THE OLDER OF (i) AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE OR (ii) LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT; OR (C) ARE PROHIBITED FROM ACCESSING OR USING THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OF THIS WEBSITE'SFUNCTIONALITIES BY APPLICABLE LAW.
These terms of use are entered into by and between you (“you” or the “User”) and Convergence Foundation, a Delaware Company[J1] , (“Convergence,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). Convergence is a distributed network of individual contributors who are located around the world and collaborate primarily through digital means. The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, this “Agreement” or these “Terms of Use”), govern Users’ access to and use of https://www.convergence.so/, including any content or functionality offered on or through the website-hosted user interface (the “Interface,” or collectively, the “Website”).
The User must read the Terms of Use carefully before using the Website (including the Interface). By using the Website or the Interface, the User accepts and agrees to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and all documents incorporated herein by reference. If the User does not want to agree to these Terms of Use or any documents that are incorporated herein by reference, the User must not access the Website or use the Interface.
The Website is offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older. By using this Website, the User represents and warrants that the User is at least the higher of legal age to form a binding contract with Convergence in the User’s applicable jurisdiction or eighteen (18) years of age, and meets all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. Further, by using this Website, the User represents and warrants that the User is not a citizen or resident of, nor is located in, any country against which the United States has sanctioned or embargoed or where the use of the Website is otherwise illegal or impermissible, whether by rule, statute, regulation, bylaw, court adjudication or order, protocol, administrative statement, code, decree, or other directive, requirement or guideline, whether applicable on Convergence, the Website, the Interface, or on the User (or multiple of the foregoing) by an authority with valid and enforceable jurisdiction (“Applicable Laws”). If the User does not meet all of these requirements, the User must not access or use the Website.
The Website provides methods and information to allow those who access the Website (“Participants”) to access or make use of Convergence’s proprietary suite of blockchain applications (the “Protocol”) including via the Interface (collectively, the “Services”). The Protocol is intended to allow Users access to a suite of various blockchain technologies that operate in a decentralized manner, meaning that Convergence may not have the ability to control, modify, prevent, stop, amend, or adjust interactions or transactions after they are submitted, whether or not through the Interface, and that the Interface is not the only method that individuals or parties may interact with, contribute to, access, or otherwise affect said suite of blockchain technologies. Consequently, you are expected to be familiar with the Protocol and the risks it represents (including, without limitation, the possibility of your crypto-assets being forfeited or lost) before accessing it (whether or not via the Interface). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ALTHOUGH THE PROGRAMMATIC CODE BEHIND THE PROTOCOL AND THE INTERFACE HAS BEEN AUDITED, THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS TO YOU. YOU AGREE TO ASSUME ALL RISK RELATED TO ANY BUGS, ERRORS, VULNERABILITIES, OR EXPLOITS THAT MAY EXIST IN THE SERVICES, WHETHER FORSEEABLE OR UNFORSEEABLE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OR INTERACTION WITH THE PROTOCOL IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND CONVERGENCE WAIVES ALL LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY AND MAKES NO WARRANTIES RELATED TO THE PROTOCOL, WHETHER OR NOT THE PROTOCOL IS ACCESSED VIA THE SERVICES. Your full use and enjoyment of the Services
(whether or not by using the Interface) may require you to pay transactional fees required by their underlying blockchain or distributed ledger service or that are used to encourage intended use among the Protocol’s participants (“Blockchain Fees”). These Blockchain Fees are not levied directly by Convergence, but rather are determined by your use of the Services and the rules of corresponding blockchain communities at large. You acknowledge that Convergence has no control over Blockchain Fees (including, without limitation, their applicability, payment, amounts, transmission, intended operation, and effectiveness) whether related to your use of the Services or otherwise and agree that in no event will Convergence be responsible to you or any other party for the payment, repayment, refund, disbursement, indemnity, or for any other aspect of your use or transmission of Blockchain Fees. For further information regarding blockchain technology, crypto-assets and the associated risks, see Nature of Blockchain; Assumption of Risk; Waiver of Claims.
Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to cooperate fully with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone posting any materials on or through the Website. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS CONVERGENCE AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSEES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY CONVERGENCE/ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES DURING, OR TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF, INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER SUCH PARTIES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.
However, we cannot review interactions or activities before they are executed through the Interface, and, given the nature of blockchain and functionalities like those offered via the Services, cannot ensure prompt removal or rectification of objectionable interactions or activities after they have been executed. Accordingly, the parties agree that we assume no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications, transactions, blockchain operations, or content provided by any Participant or third party, including any that may cause a malfunction or inaccuracy on the Website or among the Services. We have no liability or responsibility to anyone for any other party’s performance or nonperformance of the activities described in this Section, nor for any harms or damages created by others’ interactions with any blockchain underlying the Services or reliance on the information or content presented on the Website.
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 access to and use of the Website thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice before the date the change is posted on the Website.
The User’s continued use of the Website or the Services following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that the User accepts and agrees to the changes. The User is expected to check this page each time it accesses this Website or the Interface so it is aware of any changes, as they are binding on the User.
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend this Website (including the Interface), and any other Services or material we provide on the Website, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Website, the Interface, or any of the Services are unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Website, or the entire Website, to Participants.
To access certain Services or some of the resources offered on the Website, the User may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. The User agrees that all information it provides to interact with the Website, Interface, Services, or otherwise, including, but not limited to, through the use of any interactive features on the Website (such as registration information) is correct, current, and complete, and is governed by our Privacy Policy. The User consents to all actions we take with respect to the User’s information as is consistent with our Privacy Policy.
If the User utilizes certain Web3 capabilities, such as a crypto-asset wallet capable of interacting with the User’s web browser, separate username, password, private key, or any other piece of information as part of its security procedures (“Web3 Utilities”), the User must treat such information as confidential, and the User must not disclose that information to any other person or entity. The User also acknowledges that any identity linked to its Web3 Utility is personal to the User and agrees not to provide any other person with access to such identity. The User also agrees to ensure that it will lock or otherwise prevent its Web3 Utility from unauthorized use on this Website or the Services at the end of each session. The User should use particular caution when accessing the Website or the Services from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record the User’s username, password, private key, or other personal information. The User also acknowledges that any identity linked to User generated by Convergence is personal to the User and agrees not to provide any other person with access to such information. The User also agrees to ensure that it will lock or otherwise prevent its User Account from unauthorized use on this Website or the Services at the end of each session.
We have the right to disable the User’s access, including those associated with a Web3 utility (such as that represented by a public address), to the Website or to block any IP address from accessing the Website at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, the User or that identity has violated any provision of these Terms of Use.
Except any open-source software or other material incorporated the Website or the Services, the Website and its entire contents, features, and functionality (including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, images, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof) are owned by Convergence, 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. The User must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any of the material on our Website, except as follows:
If the User wishes to make any use of material on the Website other than that set out in this Section, it should address its request to: [EMAIL]. If the User prints, copies, modifies, downloads, or otherwise uses or provides any other person with access to any part of the Website in breach of these Terms of Use, the User’s right to access the Website will stop immediately and the User must, at our option, return or destroy any copies of the materials the User has made. No right, title, or interest in or to the Website or any content on the Website is transferred to the User, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by Convergence.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use, the User may freely use any open-sourced materials up to the limits provided, but in accordance with any requirements placed, by those materials’ open-source licenses.
Any use of the Website not expressly permitted by these Terms of Use is a breach of these Terms of Use and may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.
Convergence Foundation name, the terms “Convergence” and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Convergence or its affiliates or licensors. You must not use such marks without the prior written permission of Convergence; provided, however, User is hereby granted a limited, revocable, non-transferrable permission and license to use the terms “Convergence Foundation” and “Convergence” and any related names (excluding Convergence name), logos (excluding Convergence logo), product and service names, designs, and slogans in any way that they desire so long as such usage is not done in a way that: (1) is deceitful, fraudulent, or manipulative; (2) implies any relationship between User and Convergence beyond that reasonably typical of the administrator of a website and its users; or (3) to cause confusion in any way to gain crypto-assets of, or personal information about, another party other than that intended by the Services, the Protocol, the Interface or any related or interacting functionality (for example, you may not use the foregoing marks to execute phishing attacks, spearphishing attacks, social engineering, or in any way that may cause a party to transmit crypto-assets to an unintended recipient or to reveal private information, like a private key or password). All other names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans on the Website and Website are the trademarks of their respective owners.
The information presented on or through the Website (including, without limitation, the Interface) is made available solely for general information and education purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any information posted to the Website or through the Services should not be construed as an intention to form a contract, and in no case should any information be construed as Convergence’s offer to buy, sell, or exchange crypto-assets. Any reliance the User places on such information is strictly at the User’s own risk, and as is common in the blockchain space, the User is assuming a high amount of risk related to others or technical harms when operating via the Website, the Interface, and the Services. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by the User or any other Participant, by anyone who may be informed of any of the Website’s or the Services’ contents, or by the actions or omissions of others interacting with the Protocol or any underlying blockchain.
This Website or the Services may include content provided by third parties, including (without limitation) materials provided by other Participants, bloggers, and third-party licensors, syndicators, blockchain users, decentralized applications, aggregators, and/or reporting services. All statements, alleged facts, and/or opinions expressed in these materials, and all articles and responses to questions and other content, other than the content provided by Convergence, are solely the opinions and the responsibility of the person or entity providing those materials. These materials do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Convergence or even the factual status of reality. We are not responsible, or liable to the User or any third party, for the content or accuracy of any materials provided by any third parties, and User agrees that it bears sole and absolute responsibility to evaluate and select any third-party functionality with which it interacts via the Services.
We may update the content on, design of, or functionalities available through this Website or through the Services from time to time, but the Website and the Services are not necessarily complete or up-to-date. Any of the material on the Website or provided through the Services may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update such material.
All information we collect on this Website is subject to our Privacy Policy. By using the Website, the User consents to all actions taken by us with respect to the User’s information in compliance with the Privacy Policy.
Convergence is a developer of open-source software and does not unilaterally offer, operate, or administer the Protocol or a blockchain network. The Services merely attempt to assist Participants in more easily participating in blockchain networks generally. Nonetheless, Convergence has no oversight on or control over any particular crypto-asset or blockchain network.
The User is responsible for its use of the Services, the functionalities they enable, transactions engaged through the Website or the Interface, and the use of the information derived thereof. The User is solely responsible for complying with all Applicable Laws related to its transactions and activities that directly or indirectly incorporate our provision of the Services, including, but not limited to, the Commodity Exchange Act and its regulations as overseen by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), and the federal securities laws and its regulations overseen by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The User acknowledges its understanding that Convergence is not registered nor licensed with, nor have our Website, Interface, or Services (or the software contained therein) been reviewed by the CFTC, SEC, or any other financial or banking regulator.
The User understands that we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant that files available for download from the Website or through the Services will be free of viruses or other destructive code. The User is responsible for implementing sufficient procedures and checkpoints to satisfy the User’s particular requirements for: (1) an appropriate Web3 Utility; (2) anti-virus protection and accuracy of data input and output; (3) its participation in and use of the protocol and any of the Services’ underlying blockchain and related technologies; and (4) maintaining a means external to our site to reconstruct any lost data.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY A DISTRIBUTED DENIAL-OF-SERVICE ATTACK, MAN-IN-THE-MIDDLE ATTACK, VIRUSES, OR OTHER TECHNOLOGICALLY HARMFUL MATERIAL THAT MAY INFECT THE USER’S COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, COMPUTER PROGRAMS, DATA, OR OTHER PROPRIETARY MATERIAL DUE TO THE USER’S USE OF THE WEBSITE OR ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR TO THE USER'S DOWNLOADING OF ANY MATERIAL POSTED ON IT, OR ON ANY WEBSITE LINKED TO IT.
THE USER’S USE OF THE WEBSITE AND THE INTERFACE, THEIR CONTENT, AND ANY OF THE SERVICES IS AT THE USER’S SOLE RISK. THE WEBSITE, THE INTERFACE, AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS’’ AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE, WE, NOR ANY PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH CONVERGENCE, MAKE, AND WE EXPLICITLY DISCLAIM, ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND RELATED TO THE WEBSITE, THE INTERFACE, AND THE SERVICES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NEITHER CONVERGENCE NOR ANY PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH CONVERGENCE MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, QUALITY, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY OF THE WEBSITE, THE INTERFACE, OR THE SERVICES. CONVERGENCE AND ANY PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH CONVERGENCE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT: (1) ACCESS TO THE WEBSITE, THE INTERFACE, OR THE SERVICES WILL BE CONTINUOUS, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, WITHOUT DELAY, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE FROM DEFECTS; (2) THAT THE INFORMATION CONTAINED OR PRESENTED ON THE WEBSITE OR VIA THE SERVICES IS ACCURATE, RELIABLE, COMPLETE, CONCISE, CURRENT, OR RELEVANT; (3) THAT THE WEBSITE, THE INTERFACE, THE SERVICES, OR ANY SOFTWARE CONTAINED THEREIN WILL BE FREE FROM DEFECTS, MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, ERRORS, OR ANY OTHER HARMFUL ELEMENTS, OR THAT ANY OF SUCH WILL BE CORRECTED; OR (4) THAT THE WEBSITE, THE INTERFACE, OR THE SERVICES WILL MEET THE USER’S EXPECTATIONS. NO INFORMATION OR STATEMENT THAT WE MAKE, INCLUDING DOCUMENTATION OR OUR PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS, SHOULD BE TREATED AS OFFERING ANY WARRANTY CONCERNING THE WEBSITE, THE INTERFACE, OR THE SERVICES. WE DO NOT ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CONTENT, ADVERTISEMENTS, OFFERS, STATEMENTS, OR ACTIONS BY ANY THIRD PARTY EITHER REGARDING THE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES.
THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CONVERGENCE, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USER’S USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE WEBSITE, THE INTERFACE, THE SERVICES, ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO IT, ANY CONTENT ON THE WEBSITE OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE. THIS DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY THIRD PARTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE CAUSED BY FRAUD, DECEIPT, OR MANIPULATION), WHETHER OR NOT A PARTICIPANT, OR ANY FAILURE, EXPLOIT, OR VULNERABILITY OF THE WEBSITE, SERVICES, THE APPLICATION, THE USER’S WEB3 UTILITIES, OR THE UNDERLYING BLOCKCHAINS OR RELATED BLOCKCHAIN FUNCTIONALITIES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COLLECTIVE LIABILITY OF CONVERGENCE AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, AND DIRECTORS, TO ANY PARTY (REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID DIRECTLY TO CONVERGENCE FOR THE APPLICABLE CONTENT OR SERVICES IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS OUT OF WHICH LIABILITY AROSE.
THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
Blockchains, crypto-assets, the Protocol, and their related technologies and functionalities are still emerging innovations that carry a relatively high amount of foreseeable and unforeseeable risk from security, financial, technical, political, social, and personal safety standpoints. The mere access to and interaction with blockchains requires high degrees of skill and knowledge to operate with a relative degree of safety and proficiency. Crypto-assets are highly volatile in nature due to many diverse factors, including without limitation use and adoption, speculation, manipulation, technology, security, and legal and regulatory developments and application. Further, the speed and cost of transacting with cryptographic technologies, such as blockchains like those underlying the Protocol, is variable and highly volatile. Moreover, the transparent nature of many blockchains means that any interactions the User has with any blockchain may be publicly visible and readable in human form.
By accessing and using the Website or the Services, the User acknowledges the foregoing, and agrees and represents that it understands such and other risks involved with blockchains, DeFi, the Protocol, and related technologies (including without limitation any specific technical language used in this Agreement). The User further represents that it has all knowledge sufficient to work, and is informed of all foreseeable risks, and the possibility of unforeseeable risks, associated with blockchains, crypto-assets, Web3 Utilities, smart contracts, the Interface, and the Services. The User further acknowledges, and assumes all risk related to the possibility, that any information presented via the Website, Interface, or Services may be inaccurate, possibly due to another party’s malicious activities and possibly to the User’s severe harm or detriment. The User agrees that we are not responsible for any of these or related risks, do not own or control any blockchain itself, cannot guarantee the safe or accurate functioning of the Services, and shall not be held liable for any resulting harms, damages, or losses incurred by or against the User experiences while accessing or using the Website or the Services. Accordingly, the User acknowledges the foregoing, represents its understanding of the foregoing, and agrees to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using the Website and interacting with the Services, whether mentioned in this Section or otherwise. The User further expressly waives and releases us from any and all liability, claims, causes of action, or damages arising from or in any way relating to the User’s use of the Website and the User’s interaction with the Services.
If the User is a California resident, the User expressly and explicitly waives the benefits and protections of California Civil Code § 1542, which states: “[a] general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
All information or content provided or displayed by the Website (including, without limitation, on the Interface) is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional advice (including, without limitation, tax, legal, or financial advice). The User should not take, or refrain from taking, any action based on any information or content displayed or provided on the Website, on the Interface, or through the Services. The User should seek independent professional advice from an individual licensed and qualified in the area appropriate for such before the User makes any financial, legal, or other decisions where such is considered prudent. The User acknowledges and agrees that, to the fullest extent permissible by law, it has not relied on Convergence, the content on the Website, the Interface, or the Services for any professional advice related to its financial or legal behaviors.
These Terms of Use, and the provision of the Website and the Services, are not intended to create any fiduciary duties between us and the User or any third party. Convergence never takes possession, custody, control, ownership, or management of any crypto-assets or other property you may transmit using the Interface. To the fullest extent permissible by law, the User agrees that neither the User’s use of the Website or of the Services causes us or any Participant to owe fiduciary duties or liabilities to the User or any third party. Further, the User acknowledges and agrees to the fullest extent such duties or liabilities are afforded by law or by equity, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and eliminated, and that we and any other Participant shall be held completely harmless in relation thereof. The User further agrees that the only duties and obligations that we or any Participant owes the User, and the only rights the User has related to this Agreement or the User’s use of the Website or the Services, are those set out expressly in this Agreement or that cannot be waived by law.
Your crypto accounts are not checking or savings accounts, and we do not provide any kind of insurance to you against any type of loss, including (without limitation) losses due to decrease in value of assets, assets lost due to a cybersecurity failure, or from your or other individuals’ errors or malfeasance. In most jurisdictions crypto-assets are not legal tender, and most crypto-assets are not backed by any government. Your crypto-asset balances are not covered by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) protections.
If the Website may contain links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for convenience only. This includes links contained in advertisements, including banner advertisements and sponsored links. We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources, and the User acknowledges and agrees that we do not and will not accept any responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from the User’s use of them. If the User decides to access any of the third-party websites linked to this Website, the User does so entirely at its own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of use for such websites.
The User agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Convergence, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (1) the User’s violation of these Terms of Use; (2) the User’s use of the Website or the Services, including, but not limited to, the User’s interactions with the Interface or other features which incorporate the Services, use of or reliance on the Website's content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use; (3) the User’s use or reliance on of any information obtained from the Website; or (4) any other party’s access and use of the Website or Services with the User’s assistance or by using any device or account that the User owns or control.
All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Cayman Islands without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the Cayman Islands or any other jurisdiction).
All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Cayman Islands without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the Cayman Islands or any other jurisdiction).
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM THE USER MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR ITS USE OF THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
No waiver by Convergence of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Convergence to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
The Terms of Use and any other document incorporated by reference herein constitute the sole and entire agreement between the User and Convergence regarding the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website.
All other feedback, comments, requests for technical support, and other communications relating to the Website should be directed to: [EMAIL].
