1) Eligibility
  1. To use the Services, you must legally be able to enter into the Agreement. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet the eligibility requirement. If you do not meet the requirement, you must not access or use the Website or the Services.
  1. An indispensable eligibility requirement is having reached the legal age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside or are located. You may not use the Services if you have not reached the legal age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside or are located.
  1. You may not use our Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose nor may you, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction.
  1. The Websites and Services evolve constantly. As such, the Websites and Services may change from time to time, at our discretion. We may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services or any features within the Services to you or to users generally.
2) Users Responsibility
  1. By using the part of Services which involves on-chain interactions with CP, you understand you are interacting with an inherently public blockchain-based system. On-chain interactions with CP (such as the creation of a Starlite Channel, posting or commenting on User Content on-chain, mirroring and collecting publications and sending of $GLOW) are created as immutable entries on the blockchain, therefore the history of interactions with CP can be tracked.
  1. If you are not comfortable with the inherently immutable and public nature of all entries on the blockchain, you should not use our Service that involves on-chain interactions or create or manage a Starlite Channel on CP.
  1. In order to access and use certain features of the Service, you must connect to the Service a software-based digital wallet that allows you to mint, collect, store and engage in transactions with the blockchain (each a "Wallet"). ALL BLOCKCHAIN INTERACTIONS INITIATED THROUGH OUR SERVICES ARE effected by third-party wallet extensions or mobile wallets. By using our Services you agree that such transactions are covered by the terms of service and privacy policy for the applicable extensions.
  1. The Website allows you to mint a Starlite Channel token (“Channel”). The Channel is created to the Wallet that controls the Channel with the ability to create and contain the history of the content on the CP, including all the posts, mirrors, comments, transactions and other content originating from that Channel (“Items”). You should not assume that purchasing a Channel gives you any legal rights beyond mere ownership of the underlying blockchain asset.
  1. We reserve the right - but are not obligated to - limit the provision of Channels to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to limit the type, amount, and quantity of any Channels which can be claimed via this Website. We reserve the right to discontinue claiming Channels at any time.
  1. Payments for minting Channels can be made directly from your Wallet. Once a transaction has been completed and the Channel minting process has begun, we cannot offer refunds or credits for any reason.
3) Intellectual Property Rights & Ownership
  1. You understand that when you interact with any CP smart contracts, you retain control over your Channel at all times. It is important to understand that neither we nor any affiliated entity is a party to any transaction on the blockchain networks underlying the CP; we do not have possession, custody or control over any Items in your Wallet (including, but not limited to Channels); and we do not have possession, custody, ability to delete or control any Items on any user’s Wallet or any Channel’s interactions with CP.
  1. You are responsible for safeguarding your Channel and Wallet. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to secure your Wallet.
  1. Where applicable, the private key associated with the Wallet address you use to claim your Channels is the only key that can control the Wallet. You alone are responsible for securing your private keys. We do not have access to your private keys.
  1. Where applicable, the Google credentials (or similar combinations for other social-sign-in methods) associated with the Wallet address from which you use to claim Channel is the only access that can control the Wallet you use to interact with the smart contracts. You alone are responsible for securing your social-sign-in credentials. It is recommended that you use two factor authentication (2FA) or other added security on such credentials. We do not have access to your social-sign-in credentials.
  1. Content creators and owners retain their existing rights to any content uploaded, edited, or minted via the Services. However, by using the Services, all users (including content creators and owners) grant limited licenses to one another to use their contributions in various ways, as discussed below. By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute such Content in any and all media or distribution methods now known or later developed (for clarity, these rights include, for example, curating, transforming, and translating). This license authorizes us to make your User Content available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same.
  1. By posting content on our Websites, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary intellectual property rights for such content, including but not limited to any trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret, or proprietary rights (including, without limitation, the performance, master recording and/or publishing rights for any musical or video content). You further represent and warrant that the posting and use of your content on our platform does not infringe or violate any third-party rights, including but not limited to any intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or publicity rights. Company does not assume any responsibility or liability for any unauthorized use of any User Content made available through the Websites. Notwithstanding User Content, unless otherwise indicated in writing by us, the Service and all content and other materials contained therein, including, without limitation, the CP logo and all designs, text, graphics, pictures, information, data, software, sound files, other files and the selection and arrangement thereof, are the proprietary property of the Company.
4) Blockchain Related Disclosures
  1. A widespread belief is that entries and transactions involving blockchains are anonymous. In fact, a central feature of blockchains and thus, blockchain-based transactions and entries, is that they are generally transparent. Your public key and your Wallet address, which you need to interact with the blockchain, as well your Channel and Items in your Wallet are visible to anyone. To the extent your public key or wallet address can be linked back to you, it would be possible for someone to determine your identity and the Items in your wallet.
  1. Transactions on CP rely on smart contracts stored on a blockchain, cryptographic tokens generated by the smart contracts, and other nascent software, applications and systems that interact with blockchain-based networks. These technologies are experimental, speculative, inherently risky, and subject to change.
  1. Among other risks, bugs, malfunctions, cyberattacks, or changes to the applicable blockchain (e.g., forks) could disrupt these technologies and even result in a total loss of tokens, cryptoassets, their market value, or digital funds. You are solely responsible for the safekeeping of the private key associated with the blockchain address used to interact with CP. We assume no liability or responsibility for any such risks. If you are not comfortable assuming these risks, you should not access or engage in transactions using blockchain-based technology.
  1. One of the other defining features of blockchain technology is that its entries are immutable, which means, as a technical matter, they generally cannot be deleted or modified by anyone. This includes smart contracts and tokens generated and programmed by smart contracts. THUS, TRANSACTIONS RECORDED ON THE BLOCKCHAIN, INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF TOKENS AND DATA PROGRAMMED INTO THESE TOKENS, MUST BE TREATED AS PERMANENT AND CANNOT BE UNDONE BY US OR BY ANYONE. YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU FINALIZE ANY ENTRY OR TRANSACTION THAT WILL BE RECORDED ON THE BLOCKCHAIN.
  1. You bear sole responsibility for evaluating the Services before using them, and all transactions and blockchain entries accessed through the Services are irreversible, final, and without refunds. The Services may be disabled, disrupted or adversely impacted as a result of sophisticated cyber-attacks, surges in activity, computer viruses, and/or other operational or technical challenges, among other things. We disclaim any ongoing obligation to notify you of all of the potential risks of using and accessing our Services. You agree to (defined below) accept these risks and agree that you will not seek to hold any MECHA Indemnified Party responsible for any consequent losses.
  1. The software underlying blockchain networks on which the CP is deployed, including the Sui Network, is open source, which means that anyone can use, utilize, and build on top of it. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that (i) we are not responsible for the operation of the blockchain-based software and networks underlying the CP, (ii) there exists no guarantee of the functionality, security, or availability of that software and networks, and (iii) the underlying blockchain-based networks are subject to sudden changes in operating rules, such as those commonly referred to as “forks”.
  1. We may provide Services free of charge however, most transactions using blockchains require the payment of gas fees, which are essentially transaction fees (also called “gas fees”) paid on every transaction that occurs on the selected blockchain network. We may, at our sole discretion, cover the gas fees for users. We may stop (permanently or temporarily) covering the gas fees at any time. We do not receive any fees for any transactions, the Services, or the Website.
  1. You acknowledge and agree that all transactions accessed through the Services will be automatically processed using one or more blockchain-based smart contracts. By engaging in transactions using the Services, you acknowledge and consent to the automatic processing of all transactions in connection with using the Services.
  1. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your wallet. Any unauthorized access to your wallet by third parties could result in the loss or theft of your Channel, Items, any crypto-asset, or any funds held in your account and any associated accounts. You understand and agree that we have no involvement in, and you will not hold us responsible for managing and maintaining the security of your wallet. You further understand and agree that we are not responsible, and you will not hold us accountable, for any unauthorized access to your wallet. It is your responsibility to monitor your wallet.
  1. You agree that we have the right to restrict your access to the Services via any technically available methods if we suspect, in our sole discretion, that (a) you are using the Services for money laundering or any illegal activity; (b) you have engaged in fraudulent activity; (c) you have acquired crypto assets using inappropriate methods, including the use of stolen funds to purchase such assets; (d) you are the target of any sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, Her Majesty’s Treasury, or any other legal or regulatory authority in any applicable jurisdiction; (e) either you, as an individual or an entity, or your wallet address is listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (“SDN List”), Consolidated Sanctions List (“Non-SDN Lists), or any other sanctions lists administered by OFAC; (f) you are located, organized, or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of sanctions, including but not limited to Côte d’Ivoire, Cuba, Belarus, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria; or (g) you have otherwise acted in violation of these Terms. If we have a reasonable suspicion that you are utilizing the Website for illegal purposes, we reserve the right to take whatever action we deem appropriate.
  1. As a condition to accessing or using the Services or the Website, you acknowledge, understand, and agree that from time to time, the Website and the Services may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including, but not limited to equipment malfunctions, periodic maintenance procedures or repairs, causes beyond our control or that we could not reasonably foresee, disruptions and temporary or permanent unavailability of underlying blockchain infrastructure or the unavailability of third-party service providers or external partners for any reason. You acknowledge and agree that you will access and use the Services, including, without limitation, the Website at your own risk. You should not engage in blockchain-based transactions unless it is suitable given your circumstances and financial resources. By using the Services, you represent that you have been, are and will be solely responsible for conducting your own due diligence into the risks of a transaction and the underlying smart contracts and crypto assets.
