Welcome to the Bitski, Inc. (“Bitski,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) platform located at www.bitski.com (the “Site”). Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy (https://www.bitski.com/terms/) (“Privacy Policy”) carefully because they govern the use of our Site, the corresponding mobile application (“App”), and the Services (as defined in Section 1 below) by you (in your role as a Purchaser, Creator, or Developer) or the entity you present (“you” or “your”).

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND BITSKI THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION ‎‎22 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION (INCLUDING THE PROCEDURE TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION). HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION WHERE APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES,  THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IN SECTION ‎‎22 WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU BUT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION ‎21 (GOVERNING LAW) WILL APPLY INSTEAD.

  1. Our Site and Services. Our Site allows users to interact in various roles, including as purchasers or recipients of non-fungible cryptographic tokens (“NFTs”)(“Purchasers”), and Creators (as defined below in Section 10), and Developers (as defined below), with each other through various decentralized applications and blockchains. Depending on a user’s role, our Site allows users to (i) create a digital wallet (each, a “Bitski Wallet”) that enables you to self-custody supported digital assets you purchase through the Services, (ii); utilize a digital wallet that provides access to digital assets (e.g., NFTs) on a blockchain and integrate with decentralized applications provided by third party developers (“Third Party Apps”); (iii) create and deploy NFTs; and (iii) support the sale and distribution of such NFTs on the decentralized blockchains (e.g., Ethereum) on which transactions involving the NFTs are recorded (the “Interface”). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, the App, the Bitski Wallet, the Interface and any content, text, graphics, software, information or other materials made available by us through our Site or Interface (other than User Content, as defined below) are collectively called the “Services.”

If you use the Services as a developer of a website or application, you are a “Developer” and agree to the following additional terms set forth at https://developer.bitski.com/terms, as may be updated by Bitski from time to time.

  1. Agreement to Terms. By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Services. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms and that you have all necessary rights to use the Services. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that company or other legal entity.
  2. Privacy Policy. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy.
  3. Changes to Terms or Services. We may update the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the updated Terms on the Site, on the App, or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated Terms, then you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
  4. Who May Use the Services?
  5. Eligibility. You may use the Services only if you are lawfully capable of forming a binding contract with Bitski and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.

You agree that you won’t disclose your Account password to anyone and you’ll notify us immediately of any suspected or actual unauthorized use of your Account. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them.
  8. Compliance. The Services are only available to users in certain jurisdictions who can use the Services as permitted under applicable law. By using or accessing the Services, you represent to us that you are not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties or excluded or denied persons, including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the European Union or its Member States, or any other government authority.

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately in our discretion should you breach the terms of this Section 5(d). By using or accessing the Services, you agree to indemnify and hold Bitski and its officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses (each, a “Claim”), including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees arising out of or in any way connected with your violation of this Section 5(d). You must: (i) promptly notify Bitski in writing of the claim; (ii) grant Bitski sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim; and (iii) provide Bitski with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the Claim.

You agree not to access the Services using any technology for the purposes of circumventing these Terms. In order to protect the integrity of the Services, we reserve the right, at any time, in our sole discretion, to block access to the Services from certain IP addresses and unique device identifiers. We may require different levels of identification verification in order for you to access different levels of Services functionality or the Services generally.
  9. Our Relationship. While Bitski offers a marketplace for NFTs, it does not buy, sell or take custody or possession of any NFTs, nor does it act as an agent or custodian for any user of the Services. You acknowledge that Bitski does not take control or custody of any NFT or cryptocurrency at any time. If you elect to sell, purchase, or trade any NFTs, any financial transactions that you engage in will be conducted solely through the blockchain network governing such NFT and you will be required to make or receive payments exclusively through the cryptocurrency wallet or payment method you have connected to your Account and be bound by these Terms. We will have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. Accordingly, we will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage in via the Services. There may be royalties associated with the secondary sale of any NFT. You acknowledge and agree that the payment of any such royalty shall, in certain circumstances, be programmed to be self-executing via a blockchain network’s nonfungible token standard directly to your specified wallet address and Bitski does not have any control or ability to direct such funds or the obligation to collect such fees.
  10. Use of the Services. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Bitski grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services for purposes of using the Service. While the Services may be used in connection with payments and similar transactions (“Transactions”), we do not initiate or process Transactions. We do not bear any responsibility for any Transaction you engage in while making use of our Services. You bear the risk of all such Transactions.
  11. Rights and Terms for Apps.
