5-Developers

If you are a Developer, you acknowledge and agree that your access and use of the Services are governed by additional agreements, which may include documentation available (https://openfort.xyz/docs) and/or our SDK and/or API license and terms. In case of any conflict between these Terms and the documentation or other terms specifically governing your use of the Services as a Developer, the latter will govern with respect to such Services.

6-Description of the Services

Openfort includes the following Services:

6.1. Wallet

a)  Wallet Creation.

The Wallet is a set of SDKs and APIs that runs on any platform and provides users with access to the endpoints allowing them to execute instructions directly on a variety of Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks (“Supported Blockchain Networks”). The Wallet also allows users to create, authenticate accounts while also providing a view of balances for digital assets that are compatible with the Wallet (“Blockchain Assets”), initiate transfers and transactions involving Blockchain Assets, and potentially other products and games. The Wallet also allows users to access decentralized applications, including, without limitation, games (collectively "Blockchain Games") and engage in certain transactions, including swapping one Blockchain Assets for another Blockchain Asset on a peer-to-peer basis via such third-party protocol (a "Swap") and bridging Blockchain Assets from one Supported Blockchain Network to another (a “Bridge”).

In order to create an Account and open a Wallet, users must provide an email address or a user ID for either a Google, Facebook, Reddit, Discord or Twitch account (collectively “Login Credentials”) to be associated with the Wallet. For our Services, users are at least 13 years old and that if they are between 13 years and 18 years old, their legal guardian has reviewed and agrees to these terms and is happy for them to access and/or use the Services.

When you use the Openfort Services, you may also be using the services of one or more third-parties. Your use of third-party services ("Third-Party Services") will be subject to the privacy policies, terms of use and similar policies and terms, and fees of those third-party services.

b)  Wallet Access.

Your Wallet is web-based software that is accessible locally on your device. Part of that software is a “private key” system used to secure your Wallet.  There are three private keys associated with your Wallet, and two private keys are required to access your Wallet at any given time.  One private key is stored locally on your device. Another private key is generated using the Login Credentials you provided to open your Account (“Account”). The third private key is maintained by Openfort.  When you log in to your Account/Wallet with your Login Credentials, you access the account using the private key stored on your device and the private key generated in connection with your Login Credentials.  

If you lose your device, you may still access your account using your Login Credentials and the private key maintained by Openfort.  If you cannot remember your Login Credentials, you may still access your account using your device and the private key maintained by Openfort.  

The Wallet allows you to access and transfer your Blockchain Assets. You control the Blockchain Assets accessible through the Wallet at any time. Your ability to access and transfer Blockchain Assets you own exists independently of the Wallet and you may choose to transfer your Blockchain Assets to a different wallet at any time. With respect to the Blockchain Assets accessible through your Wallet, Openfort does not have custody of such assets, and does not have the ability to transfer such assets. Only you have the ability to transfer your Blockchain Assets or initiate other transactions recorded on the blockchain. As such, you acknowledge and assume the risks below regarding the use of the Wallet:

(a) A Wallet may be subject to certain exploits and Openfort is not responsible for any such exploits. While Openfort has taken a number of precautions to ensure the security of the Wallet, the technology is relatively new and it is not possible to guarantee that the code is 100% free from bugs or errors. Users accept all risks that arise from using the Wallet, including, and not limited to, the risk of any funds being lost due to an exploit.

(b) You are solely responsible for securing your Login Credentials and any device you use to access your Wallet. You understand that anyone who obtains your Login Credentials and access to your device may access your Wallet with or without your authorization and may transfer any Blockchain Assets accessible through your Wallet.

(c) The value of any Blockchain Asset, where value is attached to such an asset, may fluctuate. Openfort makes no guarantees as to the price or value of any Blockchain Asset accessible via a Wallet. You acknowledge and accept the risk that your Blockchain Assets, or any Blockchain Assets you may acquire, including by using the Wallet to access and interact with a third-party protocol, may lose some or all of their value and you may suffer loss due to the fluctuation of prices and/or significant price slippage and cost.

(d) The following risks are associated with using Blockchain Assets: the risk of losing private keys, theft resulting from third-parties discovering your private key, value fluctuation on the secondary market, disruptions to the relevant blockchain caused by network congestion, lack of usability of the assets due to a hard fork or other disruption to the relevant blockchain, or errors or vulnerabilities in the smart contract code associated with a given Blockchain Asset or transactions involving Blockchain Assets, including with respect to Transfer, Swap or Bridge transactions. Transfers on the Ethereum and other blockchains are generally irreversible. Once an instruction, signed by the required private key(s), to transfer a Blockchain Asset from one blockchain address to another has been executed, such a transaction cannot be undone.

(e) You are solely responsible for determining the tax implications and tax reporting requirements associated with transactions you engage in involving Blockchain Assets accessible through your Wallet, and for paying any applicable taxes. Openfort is not responsible for determining whether there are tax implications in connection with transactions involving Blockchain Assets accessible through Wallets, for reporting any such transactions, or for paying any applicable taxes.

(f) Openfort may modify or discontinue support for the Wallet at any time. Openfort reserves the right, at any time and without notice, in our sole and absolute discretion, to modify the Wallet.

(g) In the event of a change to an underlying blockchain network, or other network disruption, resulting in a fork of the existing blockchain into one (or more) additional blockchains, the Wallet may not support activity related to any new Blockchain Assets created as a result of the fork. In addition, in the event of a fork, transactions on the network may be disrupted.

6.2 Fees.

You may be charged fees in connection with some of the Openfort Services available to you, including fees related to Swaps, Mints, Onramps or Bridges that you execute accessing third-party games. We reserve the right to change those fees at any time, in our sole and absolute discretion. We will disclose the amount of fees we will charge you for the applicable Openfort Service at the time that you access the Openfort Service.

You may incur charges from third-parties for use of Third-Party Services. For example, you may be charged fees via the protocol that you may access via the Wallet. Third-party fees are not charged by Openfort and are not paid to Openfort. Under no circumstances shall Openfort incur any liability, of any kind, to you arising from or relating to fees charged to you by Third-Party Services linked to or accessed through the Openfort Services.

Although we will attempt to provide accurate fee information, any such information reflects our estimate of fees, which may vary from the fees actually paid to use the Openfort Services and interact with the relevant blockchain. Digital asset pricing information may be higher or lower than prices available on platforms providing similar services.

In connection with each Swap, you understand and agree that swap rates and digital asset prices displayed are estimates only that are provided using third-party data feeds, and that they may change at any time. Accordingly, the swap rates or digital asset prices displayed via the Openfort Services, including on the Swap interface, are estimates only and may be inaccurate. Openfort is not liable for, and you hereby forever release Openfort from, any losses or claims arising out of inaccurate estimates of swap rates or digital asset prices displayed via the Openfort Services.

Each Supported Blockchain Network charges a fee for engaging in a transaction on the network. Those network transaction fees fluctuate over time depending on a variety of factors. You are solely responsible for paying network transaction fees associated with transactions you engage in on each blockchain network using the Wallet.  You are also solely responsible for any other third-party fees that may be incurred in connection with your use of the Wallet.

6.3 Third-Party Services.

The Openfort Services may contain links or otherwise provide access to Third-Party Services (including, without limitation, games), and such Third-Party Services may enable certain features, such as Swaps and Bridges. When using a game or other Third-Party Services, you understand that you are at no time transferring your assets to us. Openfort provides access to Third-Party Services as a convenience. Openfort does not have control over the content provided by Third-Party Services, does not warrant or endorse any Third-Party Service, and is not responsible for the availability or legitimacy of, the content, products or services on or accessible from those Third-Party Services (including any related website, resources or links displayed therein). We make no warranties or representations, express or implied, about such linked Third-Party Services, the third-parties they are owned and operated by, the information contained on them or the suitability of their products or services. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any third-party website, applications, or resources.

6.4 Disclaimers.

Openfort does not operate a Blockchain Asset exchange platform or offer trade execution or clearing services and, therefore, has no oversight, involvement, or control concerning your transactions using the Openfort Services. All transactions between users of Openfort Services are executed peer-to-peer directly between the users' Ethereum (or other network) addresses through third-party smart contracts.

Openfort is not responsible for any losses or harms sustained by you due to vulnerability or any kind of failure, abnormal behavior of software (e.g., smart contract), blockchains, or any other features of or inherent to the NFTs. Openfort is not responsible for casualties due to any delay or failure to report any issues with any blockchain supporting NFTs, including without limitation forks, technical node issues, or any other issues that result in losses of any sort.

Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit liability of either party for fraud, death or bodily injury caused by negligence, violation of laws, or any other activity that cannot be limited or excluded under the laws applicable to your jurisdiction.

10. Dispute Resolution

Please read the arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to your access or use of the Service, to any products sold or distributed through the Service, to any NFTs, or to any aspect of your relationship with Openfort, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (i) you may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (ii) you or Openfort may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.  

‍Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to us at support@openfort.xyz. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Openfort will pay them for you. In addition, we will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for disputes, claims, or requests for relief totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (i) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (ii) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.  

Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND OPENFORT HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and we are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 10.a (Application of Arbitration Agreement) above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.

30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to support@openfort.xyz within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your username (if any), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

Severability. Except as provided in Section 17.e (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.

Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing us at support@openfort.xyz  and expressly opting out of this Arbitration Agreement.

Further, you may be eligible to use the European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform, available at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/, to resolve any dispute with us.
