DRAFT — NOT LEGAL ADVICE. This document was prepared as a starting point for CryptoBuddy sCAN and must be reviewed and finalized by a licensed attorney before it is published or relied upon. It touches areas that are heavily and differently regulated across jurisdictions — financial information, prize draws/sweepstakes, referral programs, digital tokens, and personal-data handling. Bracketed items like [ENTITY] are placeholders you must complete. No contract can waive liability that the law forbids waiving.
Effective date: [EFFECTIVE_DATE] Operated by: [ENTITY] ("we," "us," "our"), [ENTITY_ADDRESS]. Contact: [CONTACT_EMAIL].
By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using CryptoBuddy sCAN (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Use (the "Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) and legally able to form a binding contract. The Service is not directed to children. You are responsible for ensuring your use of the Service is lawful where you live; the Service may not be available, and prize features in particular may be void, where prohibited by law.
CryptoBuddy sCAN is an informational and analytical tool. It aggregates and displays cryptocurrency market data, on-chain information, and community features. It presents observations about the state of markets and explains the mechanisms behind them.
The Service does not provide financial, investment, trading, legal, tax, or accounting advice, and nothing in it is a recommendation, solicitation, or offer to buy, sell, or hold any asset. Factor readings, "market health," "sector rotation," regime labels, and every other output are descriptions of data, not directional calls or predictions. You are solely responsible for your own decisions. Do your own research and consult a licensed professional before making any financial decision.
Market data, prices, on-chain reads, and third-party information are provided by external sources (including, without limitation, CoinGecko, Kraken, GeckoTerminal, DefiLlama, and public blockchain nodes) and are provided "as is" and "as available." We do not create this data, cannot guarantee its accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or availability, and you must not rely on it as the sole basis for any decision. Figures may be delayed, estimated, incomplete, or wrong.
Cryptocurrency and digital assets are volatile and speculative and can lose all of their value. On-chain transactions are generally irreversible. You knowingly and voluntarily assume all risk arising from your use of the Service and from any decision you make in connection with it.
The Service includes community and social features — posts, comments, events, member profiles and avatars, a real-time community chat, following other members and building a follower audience, likes and comments, a searchable member directory, and "good deeds" submissions with a required location and required proof (an image or a link to your social post), together with related content (collectively, your "User Content").
The Service may offer points, raffle tickets, prize draws, gift-card prizes, and similar promotional features (collectively, "Promotions").
[ATTORNEY: draws may constitute a regulated sweepstakes/lottery in some jurisdictions. Confirm a "no purchase necessary" / alternative free method of entry, eligibility, odds disclosure, registration/bonding where required, and winner-notification and tax-reporting obligations before operating any draw for real prizes.]Any ambassador tiers, referral counts, or recruit-based recognition are community status only. They are not an employment, agency, franchise, or income opportunity, confer no wages or commissions, and you are not paid to recruit anyone. Nothing about them is a representation that you will earn money. [ATTORNEY: review for MLM / endorsement / FTC disclosure considerations.]
If the Service references, distributes, or interacts with any digital token (including any "BUDDY" token or "Mahalo" airdrop): such references are informational only and are not an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any token or security, and are not a promise of future value, utility, or distribution. Token features may be discontinued. Participation may have tax consequences that are your responsibility. [ATTORNEY: securities, commodities, money-transmission, and airdrop/tax law review required before any token feature goes live.]
The Service links to and integrates third-party services and data (including identity providers, market-data providers, block explorers, and external profiles reached by clicking a member's linked handle, which opens in a new tab). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services, their content, or their terms and privacy practices. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
The Service, its software, design system, glyphs, text, and branding are owned by [ENTITY] or its licensors and are protected by law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended personal purpose. You may not copy, modify, resell, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works except as permitted by law.
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT AND DATA ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND AVAILABILITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY DATA IS ACCURATE OR CURRENT. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, [ENTITY] AND ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND SUPPLIERS (THE "RELEASED PARTIES") WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR TRADING OR INVESTMENT LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. THE RELEASED PARTIES' TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $100. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law (such as for fraud, willful misconduct, or non-waivable statutory rights).
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release the Released Parties from claims, demands, and damages arising out of your decisions, your use of the Service and any data in it, your User Content, your participation in Promotions, and any dispute you have with another user.
You will indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claim, loss, liability, and expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
We may modify the Service or these Terms at any time; material changes will be posted with a new effective date, and continued use means acceptance. We may suspend or terminate the Service or your access at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 3–4, 7, 9–17, 19) survive.
These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING_LAW_STATE/COUNTRY], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. [ATTORNEY: insert dispute-resolution mechanism — e.g., venue, or binding arbitration with a class-action waiver — and confirm enforceability and required consumer-law carve-outs for your target markets.]
You may not use the Service, and we may block access, where its use — or any feature such as Promotions or token features — would be unlawful.
If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms, with the Privacy Policy and any posted official rules, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may.
