CANCELLATION. Stateless.Money reserves the right to refuse or cancel your delegation or bond pool participation and/or suspend or terminate your account at any time in its sole discretion.

NO EXCHANGE. Stateless.Money is a delegation service and related bond pool only. Stateless.Money is not an exchange. Stateless.Money provides software and a web-based platform for virtual asset delegation, “staking” and related bond pool. Stateless.Money is not a direct, private seller of virtual currency. As such, we do not buy or sell any currency, virtual or otherwise. We do not provide any method of purchasing, selling, or trading any type of blockchain coins or tokens. We also do not give any financial advice or recommendations. Our system is on a closed loop. This means we do not have any means of receiving or transferring tokens from a client to a third party or vice versa. Reimbursements can only be sent to the original wallet from which transactions or baking rights originated. Token ownership transfer happens upon transfer of virtual currency tokens from Stateless.Money to the client. If you wish to transmit crypto-tokens to a third party, you must send directly from your personal wallet or use some other method, and Stateless.Money takes no responsibility and expressly disclaims any responsibility, obligation and/or liability relating to such activity.

NO FINANCIAL ADVICE PROVIDED; NO FIDUCIARY DUTY. You agree that you are solely responsible for all purchases, orders, actions (or the lack thereof), and decisions as related to the Services and your use of the Site. Although the Site may provide data, information or content provided by other parties, you should not construe any such information or content as tax, legal, financial, or investment advice. You hereby warrant and acknowledge that your use of the Site and /or the Services is solely your responsibility. Stateless.Money has no special relationship with or fiduciary duty to you. You agree and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for conducting a full and diligent review of any and all legal, accounting, regulatory or tax related implications that may result from your use of the Services. We recommend that you consult with a licensed legal and financial professional prior to accessing the Site or utilizing the Services.

NO SECURITY/NO RELIANCE. This document does not constitute investment advice, counsel or solicitation for investment in any security and shall not be construed in that way. This agreement and the Stateless.Money services do not constitute or form part of, and should not be construed as, any offer for sale or subscription of, or any invitation to offer to buy or subscribe for, any securities in any form. You acknowledge that regulatory authorities of certain countries may at some later date take the position that some aspect of the Stateless.Money services constitutes a form of a security. In this event, Stateless.Money expressly disclaims any and all responsibility and liability arising therefrom. Further, Stateless.Money disclaims any and all responsibility for any direct or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly from: (i) reliance on any information contained in this document, (ii) any error, omission or inaccuracy in any such information or (iii) any action resulting therefrom. Stateless.Money is in no way responsible for your funds, rewards, or other compensation associated with the services you may access, and does not guarantee your funds will not be slashed or lost by using this service.

ACCREDITED INVESTORS ONLY. Participation on the Stateless.Money bond pool is strictly limited to accredited investors. By entering in this agreement, you represent and confirm that you are an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 Rule 501. We do not, and cannot, guarantee that any Investor is actually an Accredited Investor (as defined, as amended), or that any content or information provided on this Site is true, correct, complete or viable.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH UNCERTAIN REGULATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS. The regulatory status of virtual currency and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing or future law or regulation with respect to such technology and its applications. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether legislatures or regulatory agencies may implement changes to law and regulation affecting distributed ledger technology and its applications, including virtual currencies. By participating in the Stateless.Money services, you expressly assume all such related risks.

TEZOS LAWSUITS. You acknowledge and warrant that you are aware that Dynamic Ledger Technologies, the Tezos Foundation and related entities have been to date the subject of multiple lawsuits, including claims of investor fraud, securities fraud and similar allegations. Stateless.Money takes no position relative to such litigation and related claims, and disclaims any knowledge, responsibility or other involvement with such claims, now or in the future.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: We retain all right, title and interest in all of our intellectual property, including inventions, discoveries, processes, marks, methods, compositions, formulae, techniques, information and data, whether or not patentable, copyrightable or protectable in trademark, and any trademarks, copyrights or patents based thereon. You may not use any of our intellectual property for any reason, except with our express, prior, written consent. All content included on the Stateless.Money Website and ecosystem, including associated products and services, such as, but not limited to, text, graphics, logos, images, source code, as well as the compilation thereof, and any software used on the Website is the property of the Company.

SECURITY: You will implement reasonable and appropriate measures designed to secure access to (i) any device associated with the email address associated with your account, (ii) private keys required to access any relevant cryptocurrency address, and (iii) your username, password and any other login or identifying credentials. In case you suspect a security breach in any of the above mentioned, you shall inform us immediately, so we can take measures to secure your account.

TOKENS AND SYSTEMS AS A WHOLE. In the event that you are no longer in possession of any device associated with your account or are not able to provide your login or identifying credentials, we may, in our sole discretion, and only if we are able, grant access to your account to any party providing additional credentials to us. We explicitly reserve the right to determine the additional credentials required, which may include, without limitation, a sworn, notarized statement of identity.

RISK OF LOSING ACCESS TO TOKENS DUE TO LOSS OF PRIVATE KEY(S), CUSTODIAL ERROR OR PURCHASER ERROR. A private key, or a combination of private keys, is necessary to control and dispose of virtual currency stored in your digital wallet or vault. Accordingly, loss of requisite private key(s) associated with your digital wallet or vault storing Tokens will result in loss of such Tokens. Moreover, any third party that gains access to such private key(s), including by gaining access to login credentials of a digital wallet or vault service you use, may be able to misappropriate your Tokens. Any errors or malfunctions caused by or otherwise related to the digital wallet or vault you choose to receive and store Tokens, including your own failure to properly maintain or use such digital wallet or vault, may also result in the loss of your Tokens. Additionally, your failure to follow precisely the procedures for buying and receiving Tokens, including, for instance, if you provide the wrong address for receiving Tokens, may result in the loss of your Tokens. Stateless.Money takes no responsibility for loss or compromise of private keys, custodial error or purchaser error and expressly disclaims any responsibility in this regard.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TEZOS PROTOCOL. Because virtual currency and related Ecosystem are based on the Tezos protocol, any malfunction, breakdown or abandonment of the Tezos platform may have a material adverse effect on the Ecosystem or virtual currency. Moreover, advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing, could present risks to Tokens and the Ecosystem, including the utility of Tokens for obtaining Services, by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins the Tezos protocol. Stateless.Money takes no responsibility for such risks and expressly disclaims same.

RISK OF HACKING AND SECURITY WEAKNESSES. Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Tezos Ecosystem, Stateless.Money or virtual currency in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, because the Tezos Ecosystem is based on open-source software, there is a risk that a third party or a member of the Company team may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of the Ecosystem, which could negatively affect the Ecosystem and virtual currency, including virtual currency’s utility for using the Ecosystem. Stateless.Money takes no responsibility for and expressly disclaims responsibility for such attacks/security weaknesses. Further, Stateless.Money shall bear no liability whatsoever, for any damage or interruptions caused by any computer viruses, spyware, scareware, Trojan horses, worms or other malware that may affect your computer or other equipment, or any phishing, spoofing or other attack.

ERRORS/CHANGES. The information, software, services included in or available through the Stateless.Money Website may include inaccuracies and/or typographical errors. Changes are periodically added to the information herein. Company may make improvements and/or changes in the Website at any time. Company makes no representations about the suitability, reliability, availability, timeliness, and accuracy of virtual currency, the Website, information, software, services and related graphics contained on the Website for any purpose.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MARKETS FOR VIRTUAL CURRENCY. Virtual currency is intended to be used solely on the Ecosystem, and Company will not support or otherwise facilitate any secondary trading or external valuation of Tokens.

RISK OF UNINSURED LOSSES. Unlike bank accounts or accounts at financial institutions, Tokens are uninsured unless you specifically obtain your own private insurance to insure them. Thus, in the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer or private insurance arranged by us, to offer recourse to you. Stateless.Money takes no responsibility in this regard and expressly disclaims same. You understand and acknowledge that risk of loss of virtual currency, passes from the Company to You.

PRIVACY. We care for and respect your privacy. The Stateless.Money privacy policy is incorporated here by reference and forms an integral part of this agreement.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION PRIVACY ACT NOTICE (18 U.S.C. §§ 2701-2711). Though Stateless.Money takes security, privacy and appropriate confidentiality very seriously, and while we take all reasonable efforts to secure data and maintain the confidentiality of the same, Stateless.Money makes no guarantee of confidentiality or privacy of any communication or information transmitted on the site or any website linked to the site. We will never share personal information unless required by law or court order; furthermore, we will never sell, rent or otherwise provide access to customer data to any third-party. Nevertheless, we shall not be liable for the privacy of email addresses, registration and identification information, communications, confidential or trade-secret information, or any other Content stored on Stateless.Money equipment, transmitted over networks accessed by the Site, or otherwise connected with your use of the Service.

AML AND KYC POLICY. You agree to assist the Company in compliance with “AML” (anti-money laundering) and “KYC” (know your customer) regulations, including agreeing to provide information upon request relative to such compliance efforts. As part of our commitment to the prevention of money laundering, Company will not tolerate bond pool participants abusing the bond pool for such matters. If Company suspects any client is abusing the Stateless.Money bond pool for the purposes of money laundering, Company reserves the right to freeze your virtual currency and/or reimbursements. Company reserves the right to report any suspicious activities to the police or relevant authorities without the client's knowledge. Stateless.Money reserves the right to request documentation, including but not limited to Know-Your-Customer / Anti-Money Laundering (AML) applications, at any time, including prior to activating your account, and including in order to comply with applicable law or regulation in connection with the bond pool. We may refuse you access to the Ecosystem and Website should it have doubts as to validity, authenticity and genuineness of any documents provided by you.

CA, before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules.

The parties hereto agree that such court or arbitrator may reform such provisions so that it is reasonable under the circumstances and that such provision, as reformed, shall be enforceable, except that the material intent of the Parties in entering into these Terms of Use shall not be defeated or rendered impossible by the removal of such provision from these Terms of Use.
