7.3 Any of DYOR’s product or service names, logos, and other marks used on the Site or as a part of the Services, including DYOR’s name and logo, are trademarks owned by DYOR or our licensors.

You may not remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with the Site or the Services.

7.4 The Services are non-custodial. When you deposit Digital Assets into any DYOR-developed smart contract, you retain control over those Digital Assets at all times. The private key associated with the wallet address from which you transfer Digital Assets is the only private key that can control the Digital Assets you transfer into the DYOR-developed smart contracts. In some cases, you may withdraw Digital Assets from any DYOR-developed smart contract only to the wallet address from which you deposited the Digital Assets.

8. Links

The Services provide, or third parties may provide, links to other World Wide Web or accessible sites, applications, or resources. You acknowledge and agree that DYOR is not responsible for the availability of such external sites, applications or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources.

We may, at our sole discretion, from time to time and with or without prior notice to you, modify, suspend or disable (temporarily or permanently) the Services, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever. Upon termination of your access, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. We will not be liable for any losses suffered by you resulting from any modification to any Services or from any modification, suspension or termination, for any reason, of your access to all or any portion of the Site or the Services. The following sections of these Terms will survive any termination of your access to the Site or the Services, regardless of the reasons for its expiration or termination, in addition to any other provision which by law or by its nature should survive: Section 7 and Sections 9 through Section 17.

10. Risks

10.1 By utilising the Services or interacting with the Site in any way, you understand and agree to the inherent risks associated with cryptographic systems and blockchain-based networks; Digital Assets, including the usage and intricacies of native Digital Assets, like Ethereum (ETH) or Binance Coin (BNB), ERC-20 token standard available on the Ethereum blockchain and all other available layer 2 solutions for Ethereum or other blockchains; and systems that interact with blockchain-based networks. DYOR does not own or control any of the underlying software through which blockchain networks are formed. In general, the software underlying blockchain networks, including the Ethereum blockchain and Binance Smart Chain blockchain, is open source, such that anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute it. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree (a) that DYOR is not responsible for the operation of the blockchain-based software and networks underlying the Services, (b) that there exists no guarantee of the functionality, security, or availability of that software and networks, and (c) that the underlying blockchain-based networks are subject to sudden changes in operating rules, such as those commonly referred to as “forks,” which may materially affect the Services. Blockchain networks use public and private key cryptography. You alone are responsible for securing your private key(s). We do not have access to your private key(s). Losing control of your private key(s) will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to Digital Assets on the Ethereum blockchain, Binance Smart Chain blockchain or other blockchain based network. Neither DYOR nor any other person or entity will be able to retrieve or protect your Digital Assets. If your private key(s) are lost, then you will not be able to transfer your Digital Assets to any other blockchain address or wallet. If this occurs, then you will not be able to realize any value or utility from the Digital Assets that you may hold. The aforementioned applies also to cases when any third parties have obtained your private key(s) or other means of access to Digital Assets from you in any illegal way (including but not limited to theft of the medium containing your private key(s) or of your smart device) and in such cases you agree to indemnify DYOR and hold DYOR harmless.

10.2 The Services and your Digital Assets could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory actions, which could impede or limit the ability of DYOR to continue to make available our proprietary software and could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Services.

10.3 You acknowledge and understand that cryptography is a progressing field with advances in code cracking or other technical advancements, such as the development of quantum computers, which may present risks to Digital Assets and the Services and could result in the theft or loss of your Digital Assets. DYOR cannot therefore guarantee or otherwise ensure full security of the Services.

10.4 You understand that the Ethereum blockchain and Binance Smart Chain blockchain remains under development, which creates technological and security risks when using the Services in addition to uncertainty relating to Digital Assets and transactions therein. You acknowledge that the cost of transacting on the Ethereum blockchain and and Binance Smart Chain blockchain is variable and may increase at any time causing impact to any activities taking place on the Ethereum blockchain and Binance Smart Chain blockchain, which may result in price fluctuations or increased costs when using the Services.

10.5 You acknowledge that the Services are subject to flaws and that you are solely responsible for evaluating any code provided by the Services or Site. This warning and other warnings that DYOR provides in these Terms are in no way evidence or represent an on-going duty to alert you to all of the potential risks of utilising the Services or accessing the Site.

10.6 Although we intend to provide accurate and timely information and data on the Site and during your use of the Services, the Site and other information available when using the Services may not always be entirely accurate, complete, or current and may also include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. To continue to provide you with as complete and accurate information as possible, information may be changed or updated from time to time without notice, including information regarding our policies. Accordingly, you should verify all information before relying on it, and all decisions based on information contained on the Site or as part of the Services are your sole responsibility. No representation is made as to the accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness for any particular purpose of any pricing information distributed via the Site or otherwise when using the Services. Prices and pricing information may be higher or lower than prices available on platforms providing similar services.

10.7 Any use or interaction with the Services requires a comprehensive understanding of applied cryptography and computer science to appreciate the inherent risks, including those listed above. You represent and warrant that you possess relevant knowledge and skills. Any reference to a type of Digital Asset on the Site or otherwise during the use of the Services does not indicate our approval or disapproval of the technology on which the Digital Asset relies, and should not be used as a substitute for your understanding of the risks specific to each type of Digital Asset.

10.8 Use of the Services, in particular for trading Digital Assets, may carry financial risk. Digital Assets are, by their nature, highly experimental, risky, and volatile. Transactions entered into in connection with the Services are irreversible, final and there are no refunds. You acknowledge and agree that you will access and use the Site and the Services at your own risk. The risk of loss in trading Digital Assets can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you have been, are, and will be solely responsible for making your independent appraisal and investigations into the risks of a given transaction and the underlying Digital Assets. You represent that you have sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice, and experience to make your evaluation of the merits and risks of any transaction conducted in connection with the Services or any Digital Asset. You accept all consequences of using the Services, including the risk that you may lose access to your Digital Assets indefinitely. All transaction decisions are made solely by you. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms, we accept no responsibility whatsoever for, and will in no circumstances be liable to you in connection with, your use of the Services for performing Digital Asset transactions.

10.9 We must comply with Applicable Law, which may require us to, upon request by government agencies, take certain actions or provide information, which may not be in your best interests.

10.10 You understand that you are responsible for all trades you place, including any erroneous orders that may be filled. We do not take any action to resolve erroneous trades that result from your error (including but not limited to selecting wrong blockchain-based networks for execution of the exchange of your Digital Asset to another, making errors in entering the desired amount of your Digital Assets to be exchanged).

10.11 You hereby assume and agree that DYOR will have no responsibility or liability for the risks set forth in this Section 10. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against DYOR and our shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives, suppliers, and contractors related to any of the risks set forth in this Section 10.

11. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DYOR and our stockholders, members, directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, suppliers, and contractors (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from any claim, demand, lawsuit, action, proceeding, investigation, liability, damage, loss, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (a) your use of, or conduct in connection with, the Site or the Services; (b) Digital Assets associated with your Digital Asset addresses; (c) any feedback or user content you provide to DYOR, if any, concerning the Site or the Services; (d) your violation of these Terms; or (e) your infringement or misappropriation of the rights of any other person or entity. If you are obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party, DYOR (or, at our sole discretion, the applicable Indemnified Party) will have the right, in our or its sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether DYOR wishes to settle, and if so, on what terms, and you agree to cooperate with DYOR in the defence.

12. Disclosures, disclaimers

You are responsible for complying with all Applicable Laws that govern your operations with Digital Assets. You understand that DYOR is not registered or licensed by any regulatory agency or authority. No such agency or authority has reviewed or approved the use of the DYOR-developed software.

To the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, the Site and the Services (and any of their content or functionality) provided by or on behalf of us are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, and we expressly disclaim, and you hereby waive, any representations, conditions or warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, legal, statutory or otherwise, or arising from statute, otherwise in law, course of dealing, or usage of trade, including the implied or legal warranties and conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, quality or fitness for a particular purpose, title, security, availability, reliability, accuracy, quiet enjoyment and non-infringement of third party rights. Without limiting the foregoing, we do not represent or warrant that the Site or the Services (including any data relating thereto) will be uninterrupted, available at any particular time, or error-free. Further, we do not warrant that errors in the Site or the Service are correctable or will be correctable.

You acknowledge that your data on the Site may become irretrievably lost or corrupted or temporarily unavailable due to a variety of causes, and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by denial-of-service attacks, software failures, viruses, malware or other technologically harmful materials (including those which may infect your computer equipment, including but not limited to any malware, virus, Trojan horse, worm, logic bomb, drop-dead device, backdoor, shutdown mechanism), protocol changes by third-party providers, Internet outages, force majeure events or other disasters, scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, or other causes either within or outside of our control. You will defend and indemnify DYOR and hold DYOR harmless.

The disclaimer of implied warranties contained herein may not apply if and to the extent such warranties cannot be excluded or limited under the Applicable Law of the jurisdiction in which you reside.

13. Exclusion of consequential and related damages

In no event will DYOR, our suppliers and contractors, and our and our suppliers’ and contractors’ respective stockholders, members, directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, suppliers and contractors (collectively, the “Risk Limited Parties”) be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, punitive, consequential or similar damages or liabilities whatsoever (including damages for loss of fiat, assets, data, information, revenue, opportunities, use, goodwill, profits or other business or financial benefit) arising out of or in connection with the Site and the Services (and any of their content and functionality), any execution or settlement of a transaction, any performance or non-performance of the Services, your Digital Assets or any other product, service or other item provided by or on behalf of DYOR, whether under contract, tort (including negligence), civil liability, statute, strict liability, breach of warranties, or under any other theory of liability, and whether or not we have been advised of, knew of or should have known of the possibility of such damages and, notwithstanding any failure of the essential purpose of these Terms or any limited remedy hereunder, nor is DYOR in any way responsible for the execution or settlement of transactions between users of DYOR developed software.

14. Limitation of liability

In no event will DYOR’s aggregate liability (together with our stockholders, members, directors, managers, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, suppliers, or contractors) arising out of or in connection with the Site and the Services (and any of their content and functionality), any performance or non-performance of the Services, your Digital Assets or any other product, service or other item provided by or on behalf of DYOR, whether under contract, tort (including negligence), civil liability, statute, strict liability or other theory of liability exceed the amount of fees paid by you to DYOR under these Terms, if any, in the two (2) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim for liability.

15. Dispute resolution, arbitration and class action waiver

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with DYOR and limits how you can seek relief from DYOR. Also, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.

You and DYOR agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services is personal to you and DYOR and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action. You and DYOR agree that a dispute cannot be brought as a class action, or other types of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, in which an individual attempts to resolve a dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals.

Except for small claims disputes in which you or DYOR seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or DYOR seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and DYOR waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against DYOR or relating in any way to the Services, you agree to first contact DYOR and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to DYOR by email at hello@dyor.exchange. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above.

If, in accordance with the above, you and DYOR cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then the Dispute shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration (“Rules”) of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) as in force at the time of initiation of the arbitral procedure or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. The dispute shall be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration by 3 (three) arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules in London, United Kingdom, in the English language, in accordance with the ICC Arbitration Rules. The dispute shall be decided in accordance with the law stipulated in Section 16 of these Terms. No award or procedural order made in the arbitration shall be published.

Unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate your claims with those of any other party. Any judgement on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, to the extent a court therein would be deemed to be a court of competent jurisdiction other than any court located in the United States of America. You further agree that the Site and Services shall be deemed to be based solely in the Republic of Panama and that, although the Site and Services may be available in other jurisdictions, its availability does not give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction in any forum outside the Republic of Panama.

The arbitrators, DYOR, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including all information gathered, prepared, and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrators will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

You and DYOR agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and all other fees and costs related to arbitral proceedings. For any arbitration initiated by DYOR, DYOR will pay all applicable fees and costs.

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and DYOR will not have the right to assert the claim.

If any portion of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 15 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis under this Section 15; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 15 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, then that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 15 will be enforceable.

16. Governing law

The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and any dispute related to these Terms, the Site or the Services, will be governed by and construed and enforced under the laws of the Republic of Panama, as applicable, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
