The information provided on the Site and our Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Site or Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

Our Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old. People under the age of 18 are not permitted to use our Services or our Site.

“Blockchain” means a distributed digital ledger that is not under the control of a single identifiable or discreet individual or entity and where accounts (including units of account contained in them) cannot be manipulated without providing a user’s specific private key. This may be a “main net” used as a determinative record of historical events and transactions on the ledger, or a “test net” which operates like a main net but does not have a Cryptocurrency that carries substantial real-world value and is generally used for simulated or testing purposes.

“Cryptocurrency”, “Cryptocurrencies” is a reference to the distributed, decentralized peer-to-peer digital currencies that are tracked by a Blockchain. For the purposes of this Terms of Use, “Cryptocurrency” includes, but is not limited to, the following distributed digital ledgers (both related main nets and test nets): Tezos, Cosmos, Kava, Kusama, Terra, CyberWay, Chainlink, Algorand, Threshold, Solana, Polkadot, Robonomics, Ton, Celo, Regen, Oasis, Coda, Dfinity.

“User Data” means all data, files and information that User provides to P2P Staking in the course of using the Services. Although we perform regular routine backups of data, you are solely responsible for all data that you transmit or that relates to any activity you have undertaken using the Site. You agree that we shall have no liability to you for any loss or corruption of any such data, and you hereby waive any right of action against us arising from any such loss or corruption of such data. Note that any information posted to a public blockchain is accessible to the public, and you should not expect confidentiality nor a guarantee against reproduction for such (whether or not in connection to our Services). Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, and share your information.

“User Funds” means the Cryptocurrencies controlled by User or delegated to P2P Staking’s control but ultimately belonging to User.

“Validator Rewards” means all Cryptocurrency generated by operating Validator Nodes, including, but not limited to, block rewards, endorser rewards, transaction fees and any other direct payments as a result of operating a Validator Node.

Validation – P2P Staking operates Staking Validator Nodes to support the decentralized functioning of various Blockchains. P2P Staking maintains all of the hardware, software, connectivity, technological, management & supervision, and any other requirements to properly deploy these Validator Nodes. You may use your Cryptocurrencies (as allowed by the related Blockchains) to support our status as a Delegated Staking Validator for those Blockchains. We will distribute Validator Rewards generated by our Staking Validators among those who designated Cryptocurrencies to support our status as a Validator proportionate to the amount of Cryptocurrencies they use to designate such support as is consistent with our advertisements or website and the customs of each supported Blockchain.

Support – We aim to provide quality and timely support for each of our Services. You can email us at [email protected] with any questions or technical issues and we will assist you as soon as we can.

In the use of any of our Services, you agree to take the following actions, or to otherwise agree to carry any liability, responsibility, and accountability as described below.

Delegation Decisions – You have sole discretion as to whether to and how much Cryptocurrencies will be designated towards support of our status as a Delegated Validator. As is the nature of Blockchain systems, you are in full control of designating Cryptocurrencies, and must tend to the operations and current events required for responsible designation.

Taxes and Other Legal Obligations – You are responsible for paying any taxes related to your Cryptocurrencies, whether it involves appreciation in value, capital gains, general income (including those from Staking Rewards), or any other types of taxable income. You also agree not to use our Services in any illegal manner or to support any illegal activity, and to comply with any other applicable laws or regulations on your use of Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies.

Malicious Behavior – You will not take any steps to harm our systems or our ability to provide our Services to you or others, other than those permitted by these Terms, our systems, or our written or verbal instructions. Any attempt at unauthorized use of our private keys, inhibiting the functionality of our technical equipment and hardware (e.g. malware or DDoS), or other method to direct our systems to function in a way that is not permitted (as determined in our sole discretion) is considered a violation of these terms.

Typical Risk of Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies – Your use of any Blockchain is subject to the risk and limitations of that Blockchain, including, but not limited to, fifty-one attacks, mis-addressed transactions, Sybil attacks, eclipse attacks, compromised private keys, or vulnerabilities made at the “core” level. Further, your use of any payment method, including where permitted, any Cryptocurrency, is at your own risk and is subject to the terms and conditions and policies of such payment (service). You agree to hold P2P Staking unaccountable for these types of risks, and to waive your right to litigate, arbitrate, mediate, or otherwise hold any type of claim against P2P Staking for injuries suffered due to your use of a Blockchain network or service.
