You represent that you do not appear on any sanctions list, including but not limited to the U.S. Treasury Department's OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List, or any equivalent list maintained by another authority.
You also represent and warrant that you are not using the Platform in violation of any applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including those governing securities, commodities, derivatives, money transmission, consumer protection, data protection, tax, anti-money laundering, or counter-terrorism financing. You acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility to determine whether your use of the Platform complies with applicable laws and that the Company has no obligation to monitor or ensure your compliance. All information you provide to the Platform must be truthful, accurate, current, and complete, and you covenant to maintain its accuracy and completeness throughout your use of the Platform.
2.3 Jurisdictional Limitations and Prohibited Access
The Platform is operated and controlled by the Company from locations that may be subject to specific jurisdictional laws and regulations. Availability in any particular jurisdiction does not constitute a representation or warranty that access from such jurisdiction is legal or appropriate. The Company makes no representation that the Platform or any Content, materials, products, or services available through it are suitable for use in all locations, and accessing the Platform from territories where its contents are illegal or prohibited is expressly forbidden.
You acknowledge that certain jurisdictions have enacted laws or restrictions governing cryptocurrency platforms, digital asset services, token launches, or related activities. The Company reserves the absolute right, exercisable in its sole discretion without notice or liability, to restrict or deny access to the Platform from any jurisdiction where providing such access would violate local law, expose the Company to legal or regulatory risk, or be commercially impractical. The Company maintains and updates a list of Prohibited Jurisdictions from which access is restricted or denied, and users bear sole responsibility for determining whether their access is permitted under applicable law.
Users located in, ordinarily resident in, or accessing the Platform from Prohibited Jurisdictions are expressly prohibited from using the Platform. The Company also prohibits access and use by any individual or entity subject to economic sanctions, trade restrictions, or embargoes imposed by any governmental authority, whether such sanctions are comprehensive or targeted. Prohibited users include, without limitation, individuals or entities appearing on sanctions lists maintained by OFAC, the EU, the UN, or equivalent authorities, as well as individuals or entities owned or controlled by such sanctioned parties.
The Company employs various technological measures to detect and prevent access from Prohibited Jurisdictions or by prohibited persons, including IP filtering, geolocation detection, device fingerprinting, and transaction monitoring. However, the Company does not guarantee that all prohibited access will be detected or prevented, and users remain solely responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable law. Any attempt to circumvent jurisdictional restrictions through VPNs, proxy servers, or other means of concealing location or identity constitutes a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination of access, forfeiture of Rewards, and potential legal action.
If the Company discovers that you have accessed the Platform from a Prohibited Jurisdiction, provided false information regarding your location or identity, or are otherwise prohibited from using the Platform, the Company may immediately terminate your access, suspend your Account, forfeit any Rewards or benefits, report your activities to authorities, and pursue any legal remedies available. Such termination may occur without prior notice, and you will have no recourse or right to compensation for resulting losses.
2.4 Absolute Right to Refuse Service and Modify Access
The Company reserves the unconditional, absolute right to refuse service to any person or entity, to deny Account creation or SALE ID claims, to reject Project listings or submissions, to restrict access to specific features or functionalities, to impose additional verification or documentation requirements, to limit transaction amounts or frequencies, and to otherwise control access to and use of the Platform in any manner whatsoever, all in the Company's sole discretion, exercisable at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, and without liability or obligation of any kind.
This right extends to all aspects of the Platform and may be exercised for any reason or for no reason at all. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company may refuse service, deny access, or terminate accounts based on factors including but not limited to:
- Perceived risk of fraud, abuse, or suspicious activity patterns.
- Violation or suspected violation of these Terms or applicable laws.
- Failure to comply with verification requirements or provide requested documentation.
- Association with known bad actors, sanctioned entities, or high-risk jurisdictions.
- Use of the Platform in a manner the Company deems inappropriate, harmful, or inconsistent with its objectives.
- Technical limitations, capacity constraints, business strategy considerations, or legal requirements.
The Company also reserves the right to impose conditions, limitations, or requirements on any User's access or use of the Platform, including but not limited to enhanced identity verification procedures, restrictions on transaction amounts or types, limitations on available features, requests for additional documentation, mandatory cooling-off periods, or enhanced monitoring of account activity. Imposition of such conditions does not create any obligation to impose similar conditions on other Users, and the Company may treat Users differently based on risk assessment or other factors.
The Company may restrict access to the Platform through technological means, including blocking specific IP addresses or ranges, implementing device-based restrictions, requiring additional authentication factors, limiting wallet addresses that may connect to the Platform, restricting access during certain time periods, implementing CAPTCHA or other anti-bot measures, or employing any other access control mechanisms deemed appropriate. Users acknowledge that such restrictions may impact their ability to access or use the Platform and agree that the Company shall have no liability for resulting losses, damages, or inconvenience.
In exercising its right to refuse service or restrict access, the Company is not required to provide any explanation, justification, or reasoning for its decision, nor to provide any opportunity for appeal, reconsideration, or reinstatement. The Company's decision to refuse service, restrict access, or terminate accounts is final and binding. Users expressly waive any right to challenge such decisions through arbitration, litigation, or other means, except to the extent such waiver is unenforceable under applicable law.
2.5 Platform Modifications and Service Availability
The Company maintains complete discretion and authority to modify, suspend, discontinue, or alter any aspect of the Platform at any time, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice. This authority extends to all elements of the Platform, including features, functionalities, services, interfaces, designs, Content, reward structures, Smart Task offerings, SALE ID policies, referral program terms, verification requirements, fees or charges, supported tokens or blockchain networks, API access, integration capabilities, and any other aspect of the Platform's operation or availability.
The Company may implement such modifications for reasons including improving functionality, addressing technical issues or security vulnerabilities, complying with legal or regulatory requirements, responding to market conditions or business needs, reducing costs, implementing new features, sunsetting underutilized features, addressing capacity constraints, or responding to user feedback. The Company is not obligated to maintain any particular feature or level of service, and Users acknowledge that the Platform may change significantly over time.
The Company may suspend access to all or part of the Platform during scheduled or emergency maintenance, during periods of high traffic or system load, in response to security incidents or threats, to implement updates, or for any other operational reason. While reasonable efforts may be made to minimize disruptions and provide advance notice where practicable, the Company is not obligated to provide any specific uptime guarantee or service level agreement. Users agree that interruptions in service may occur and that the Company is not liable for resulting losses or inconvenience.
Modifications to reward structures, Smart Task offerings, or other economic aspects of the Platform may occur at any time and may affect Rewards that have not yet been claimed or distributed. The Company reserves the right to adjust reward amounts, modify eligibility criteria, change vesting schedules, implement new conditions or requirements, or discontinue reward programs entirely. Such changes may be applied retroactively in cases involving fraud, abuse, or violations, and affected users may have Rewards reduced, withheld, or forfeited.
The Company may remove, discontinue, or restrict access to specific features or functionalities without providing replacements. Users acknowledge they have no proprietary interest in any Platform feature and no right to demand continued availability of specific functionality. If a feature upon which users rely is discontinued, the Company will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice where practicable, but is under no obligation to maintain any feature to accommodate user workflows or integrations.
Changes to these Terms or other Platform policies may accompany Platform modifications. In such cases, the updated Terms govern use of the modified Platform features. Continued use following implementation of modifications constitutes acceptance. If users do not accept modifications, their sole remedy is to cease using the Platform entirely.
2.6 No Guarantees or Warranties Regarding Service Availability
The Company expressly disclaims any representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding the continuous, uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free operation of the Platform. The Platform is provided on an "as available" basis, and access may be interrupted, suspended, restricted, or terminated at any time for any reason or no reason. The Company makes no commitment regarding uptime, availability, performance, response times, or reliability, and users assume all risks associated with potential unavailability at critical times.
Users acknowledge that the Platform depends on external systems, services, and infrastructure components beyond the Company's control, including the XRPL blockchain, internet service providers, cloud hosting services, third-party APIs, wallet providers, and other dependencies. The Company has no control over the availability or performance of these external systems and assumes no responsibility for interruptions or failures attributable to them. The XRPL blockchain may experience congestion, delays, forks, attacks, or other issues affecting users' ability to conduct transactions, and the Company disclaims liability for such blockchain-related issues.
The Company does not guarantee that the Platform will meet users' specific requirements, be compatible with their hardware or software, correct all defects or errors, be free from viruses or harmful components, or provide information that is accurate, complete, or current. Users are responsible for implementing appropriate security measures for their systems and maintaining backup copies of important data or information.
2.7 Modifications to Terms and Continuing Acceptance
The Company reserves the unilateral right to modify, amend, supplement, or replace these Terms at any time, in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason, in its sole discretion. Modifications may address legal or regulatory changes, implement new Platform features or policies, clarify existing provisions, enhance user or Company protections, respond to business needs or market conditions, or serve any other purpose the Company deems appropriate.
When material modifications are made, the Company will update the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of these Terms and will make reasonable efforts to notify users through one or more of the following:
- Posting a prominent notice on the Platform.
- Sending an email notification to the email address associated with the user's Account.
- Displaying an in-Platform notification upon next login.
- Using any other communication methods the Company deems appropriate.
Failure to provide notice does not affect the validity or enforceability of modifications, and users are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms. Modifications become effective immediately upon posting to the Platform or at a later date specified in the notice. Continued access to or use of the Platform after the effective date of any modification constitutes binding acceptance of the modified Terms. Users who do not agree must cease all use of the Platform and may, within thirty (30) days, contact the Company to terminate their Account. Failure to cease use or timely terminate constitutes acceptance.
Certain modifications may require affirmative acceptance before users can continue using the Platform. In such cases, the Company may require users to indicate acceptance by clicking an "I Agree" button, checking a confirmation box, or taking other affirmative action. Use of the Platform following such affirmative acceptance is governed by the modified Terms. Users expressly waive any right to claim lack of notice, understanding, or agreement if they continue using the Platform after modifications become effective. The Company is not obligated to provide individual notice or obtain individual consent beyond the procedures described herein.
2.8 Scope and Application of Terms
These Terms apply comprehensively to all aspects of users' access to and use of the Platform, including but not limited to browsing or viewing the website or applications; creating, maintaining, or using an Account; claiming, using, or displaying a SALE ID; connecting Wallets; participating in Smart Tasks or reward programs; engaging with the referral program; listing, managing, or promoting Projects; uploading or sharing Content; receiving or using Rewards; utilizing any tools, features, APIs, or services; and communicating with other users or with the Company.
These Terms apply regardless of whether users access the Platform through the primary website, mobile or desktop applications, APIs, developer tools, third-party integrations, or any other means. They apply to registered users and unregistered visitors alike, although certain provisions may be relevant only to registered users. These Terms govern access from any location worldwide, subject to jurisdictional restrictions specified herein.
These Terms govern the relationship between the Company and users and create no rights or obligations with respect to third parties except as expressly provided. They are not intended to benefit any third party except the Company's Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns, who may enforce provisions protecting their interests. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the Company and users.
These Terms incorporate by reference and supplement the Company's Privacy Policy, which governs the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Data. In the event of conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy regarding data handling practices, the Privacy Policy controls. These Terms also incorporate any supplemental terms, policies, or guidelines posted on the Platform, including community guidelines, content policies, referral program rules, Smart Task requirements, SALE ID naming policies, and other rules applicable to specific features or services.
Users acknowledge that these Terms are drafted to provide comprehensive protection to the Company while defining users' rights and obligations. In the event of ambiguity, no presumption operates against the Company as drafter, and ambiguous provisions shall be construed to provide maximum protection to the Company while ensuring fundamental fairness to users.
2.9 User Acknowledgment and Informed Consent
By accessing or using the Platform, users make binding acknowledgments and provide informed consent regarding the nature of the Platform and the terms of this Agreement. Users acknowledge that the Platform is a complex technological system facilitating interaction with blockchain technology and cryptocurrency assets, which inherently involve significant technical, financial, and regulatory risks. Users are solely responsible for understanding these risks and determining whether use of the Platform is appropriate for their circumstances.
Users acknowledge that they have carefully reviewed the risk warnings in Section 8 of these Terms and fully understand and accept all risks described therein. Users further acknowledge that the risk warnings are not exhaustive and that additional risks may exist. Users represent that they are not relying on the Company for investment, financial, tax, legal, or other professional advice and that they have consulted with their own advisors as needed before using the Platform.
Users acknowledge the non-custodial nature of the Platform and understand that the Company never takes possession or control of users' digital assets or Private Keys. Users are solely responsible for the security of their Wallets and Private Keys, and the Company cannot recover lost or stolen keys or assets. Users acknowledge that blockchain transactions are irreversible and that the Company cannot reverse, cancel, or modify transactions once confirmed on the blockchain.
Users acknowledge that cryptocurrency and blockchain technology are subject to evolving regulatory frameworks worldwide. Users understand that laws and regulations applicable to cryptocurrency, tokens, digital assets, and blockchain technology may change in ways that adversely affect the Platform or users' ability to use it. Users are solely responsible for determining whether their use complies with applicable laws and for meeting any tax, reporting, or legal obligations arising from their use.
Users acknowledge that the Platform facilitates access to Projects and tokens created by third parties over whom the Company has no control. The Company does not endorse, guarantee, or recommend any Project, token, or third party accessible through the Platform. Users must conduct their own research and due diligence before participating in any Project or acquiring any token and bear all associated risks.
Users acknowledge and agree that the Company may modify these Terms at any time and that continued use following modifications constitutes acceptance. Users are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms and ceasing use if they do not agree with any modifications. Users further acknowledge that they have had adequate opportunity to review these Terms, to seek legal counsel, to ask questions, and to negotiate modifications if desired.
Users consent to all uses of Personal Data and other information as described in the Privacy Policy and as necessary to operate the Platform. Users acknowledge that operation of the Platform necessarily involves collection, use, and disclosure of certain information and that they have reviewed and accept the Company's data handling practices. Users consent to receiving communications from the Company, including transactional communications, service-related notifications, marketing communications (subject to opt-out rights where applicable), and updates regarding modifications to Terms or policies.
By providing affirmative acceptance of these Terms through clicking "I Agree," creating an Account, or using the Platform, users represent that their acceptance is knowing, voluntary, and informed. Users represent that they have not been subjected to fraud, duress, coercion, or undue influence in agreeing to these Terms. Users acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a binding legal contract with the same force and effect as a physically signed written agreement and waive any right to claim lack of understanding, agreement, or enforceability.
3.1 Account Creation and Registration Requirements
The creation of an Account on the Platform is a privilege, not a right, and is subject to the Company's absolute discretion and the satisfaction of all requirements set forth in these Terms. To be eligible to create an Account, you must have attained the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, which in no event shall be less than eighteen (18) years of age. You must provide accurate, complete, and current information during the registration process, including but not limited to your email address, chosen SALE ID handle, and any other information requested by the Platform. You acknowledge that the Company may, at its sole discretion, require additional information or documentation to verify your identity, assess risk, comply with legal obligations, or for any other purpose the Company deems appropriate.
Account creation requires the connection of a valid XRPL-compatible Wallet that you control through possession of the associated Private Keys. You represent and warrant that any Wallet you connect to the Platform is owned and controlled exclusively by you, that you have not acquired such Wallet through fraudulent or illegal means, that the Wallet is not associated with any prohibited activities or sanctioned entities, and that you have the full legal right to use such Wallet in connection with the Platform. The Company reserves the right to reject Wallet connections from addresses that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, to be associated with fraud, abuse, money laundering, sanctions violations, or other prohibited activities.
Your chosen SALE ID must comply with the Platform's naming policies as set forth in Section 3.7 hereof. The Company maintains sole discretion to reject any SALE ID that it determines to be inappropriate, offensive, misleading, confusing, infringing, or otherwise unsuitable. The Company may also reject SALE IDs that are substantially similar to existing prominent handles, that impersonate individuals or entities, that incorporate trademarked terms without authorization, or that the Company believes may cause confusion or harm to the Platform or its Users.
By creating an Account, you agree to these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy in their entirety. You acknowledge that creating multiple Accounts may be subject to restrictions and conditions as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof, and that violation of the multiple Account policies may result in immediate termination of all Accounts and forfeiture of all Rewards. You further acknowledge that the Company may, in its sole discretion, refuse to allow you to create an Account for any reason or no reason, and that such refusal creates no liability or obligation on the part of the Company.
The Company may implement various verification requirements before allowing Account creation or access to certain Platform features. Such verification may include but is not limited to email verification, wallet signature verification, identity verification through know-your-customer (KYC) procedures, proof of address, source of funds verification, accreditation verification for certain features, or any other verification the Company deems necessary. Your refusal or failure to complete required verification within the timeframes specified by the Company may result in Account suspension, restriction of access to certain features, or Account termination.
3.2 Account Security and User Responsibility
You bear sole and exclusive responsibility for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your Account credentials, including your login information, email address, connected Wallets, and any authentication factors or security features associated with your Account. You acknowledge that anyone who gains access to your Account credentials will be able to access your Account, view your Personal Data and activity history, claim Rewards on your behalf, connect or disconnect Wallets, modify Account settings, upload Content, participate in Smart Tasks, and otherwise act as if they were you. The Company has no means of distinguishing between actions taken by you personally and actions taken by any other person who has obtained access to your Account credentials.
Accordingly, you agree that you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, regardless of whether such activities were authorized by you, known to you, or conducted with your permission. This responsibility extends to activities conducted by family members, employees, contractors, or any other persons who gain access to your Account through your negligence, intentional sharing of credentials, or otherwise. You agree that if any unauthorized person gains access to your Account and engages in activities that violate these Terms, incur obligations, or cause harm to the Company or third parties, you shall be deemed to have personally engaged in such activities and shall be fully liable for all consequences thereof.
You covenant to immediately notify the Company if you become aware of any unauthorized access to your Account, any unauthorized use of your credentials, any security breach affecting your Account, or any other security-related incident that may affect the Platform or other Users. Such notification must be provided by email to team@xrpl.sale with a detailed description of the incident, including the date and time you became aware of the issue, the nature of the unauthorized access or use, and any other relevant information. Notwithstanding your obligation to provide such notification, you acknowledge that the Company may be unable to prevent losses or reverse transactions that have already occurred, and the Company shall have no liability for any damages resulting from unauthorized access to your Account regardless of whether you provided timely notification.
The security of your XRPL Wallet and the associated Private Keys is of paramount importance and is entirely your responsibility. The Company does not have access to, custody of, or control over your Private Keys at any time. The Company cannot and will not recover, reset, or provide access to Private Keys that are lost, forgotten, stolen, or otherwise compromised. You acknowledge that if you lose access to your Private Keys, you will permanently lose access to any digital assets held in the associated Wallet, and neither the Company nor any other party will be able to recover such assets. The Company strongly recommends that you maintain secure backups of your Private Keys using industry-standard security practices, including but not limited to hardware wallet storage, encrypted backups, and secure physical storage of seed phrases.
You are responsible for implementing appropriate security measures on all devices and networks you use to access the Platform. Such measures should include but are not limited to: using strong, unique passwords that are not used for any other service; enabling two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication where available; keeping your operating system, browser, and security software up to date; using reputable antivirus and anti-malware software; avoiding accessing the Platform from public or unsecured networks; logging out from the Platform when using shared or public devices; not storing Account credentials in browsers or password managers unless such tools are properly secured; being vigilant against phishing attempts and social engineering attacks; and exercising caution when clicking links or downloading files even if they appear to be from the Company.
You acknowledge and agree that the Company will never contact you to request your Private Keys, seed phrases, passwords, or other sensitive security credentials. Any communication purporting to be from the Company that requests such information is fraudulent and should be reported to team@xrpl.sale immediately. The Company is not responsible for losses resulting from phishing attacks, social engineering, or other fraudulent schemes that trick you into revealing your credentials or Private Keys, even if such schemes use the Company's name, logo, or other branding elements.
3.3 Accuracy and Maintenance of Account Information
You represent and warrant that all information you provide to the Platform during registration, verification processes, or at any other time is truthful, accurate, complete, and current in all material respects. This representation extends to all information including but not limited to your name, age, email address, location, nationality, wallet ownership, source of funds, and any other information requested by the Platform. You acknowledge that the Company and other Users may rely on the accuracy of the information you provide and that providing false, misleading, or inaccurate information may cause harm to the Company, other Users, or third parties.
You covenant to promptly update your Account information if any information you have provided becomes inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. This obligation includes updating your email address if it changes, notifying the Company if you relocate to a different jurisdiction (particularly if such relocation places you in a Prohibited Jurisdiction), updating information if your circumstances change in ways that affect your eligibility to use the Platform, and providing updated documentation if previously submitted documents expire or become invalid. Your failure to maintain accurate and current information may result in Account suspension, inability to access certain features, delays in receiving communications from the Company, or Account termination.
The Company reserves the right to verify any information you provide at any time through any reasonable means. Such verification may include requesting additional documentation, conducting background checks, verifying information against third-party databases, contacting you directly for clarification, requiring video verification calls, requesting proof of wallet ownership through signed messages, or employing any other verification methods the Company deems appropriate. You agree to cooperate fully with any verification requests and to provide requested information or documentation within the timeframes specified by the Company, which will typically be no less than seven (7) business days unless circumstances require a shorter timeframe.
Your refusal or failure to cooperate with verification requests, your provision of false or misleading information in response to such requests, or your inability to provide satisfactory verification will result in immediate Account suspension and may result in permanent Account termination and forfeiture of all Rewards. The Company may also report suspected fraud or false information to appropriate law enforcement authorities, regulatory bodies, or other relevant parties. You acknowledge that verification requirements may be imposed at any time, including after you have been using the Platform for an extended period, and that such requirements may be triggered by changes in the regulatory environment, risk assessment factors, transaction patterns, or other circumstances.
If the Company determines, through verification processes or otherwise, that any information you have provided is false, misleading, inaccurate, or incomplete, the Company may take immediate action including but not limited to suspending your Account, restricting your access to certain features, withholding or forfeiting Rewards, requiring additional verification, reporting the matter to relevant authorities, or permanently terminating your Account. The Company may also pursue legal remedies for fraud, misrepresentation, or breach of contract if your provision of false information has caused harm to the Company or constitutes a material breach of these Terms.
3.4 Account Policy: Single Account Recommendation and Multiple Account Provisions
The Company's standard policy and recommendation is that each individual person should maintain one primary Account and one SALE ID on the Platform. This policy is designed to maintain Platform integrity, ensure fair distribution of Rewards, prevent abuse and manipulation, provide accurate activity metrics, facilitate effective communication with Users, and create a trusted environment where Users can be confident they are interacting with genuine individuals rather than artificial networks of accounts. The single Account policy reflects the Company's belief that the SALE ID system functions most effectively when each SALE ID represents a unique, identifiable individual who builds reputation and engages authentically with the ecosystem.
Notwithstanding the foregoing recommendation, the Company acknowledges that certain Users may have legitimate business or organizational reasons for maintaining multiple Accounts or SALE IDs. Accordingly, the maintenance of multiple Accounts is permitted under the limited circumstances and subject to the strict conditions set forth in this Section. Users who choose to maintain multiple Accounts do so at their own risk and remain subject to enhanced scrutiny, monitoring, and potential restrictions. The Company reserves the right to require Users maintaining multiple Accounts to provide detailed justification for such use and to impose additional verification requirements, usage restrictions, or other conditions on such Accounts.
Permitted Purposes for Multiple Accounts
Multiple Accounts are permitted only for the following legitimate purposes, and any use of multiple Accounts that does not fall clearly within one of these categories is presumptively prohibited:
- Managing distinct XRPL Projects where each Project requires its own dedicated presence on the Platform.
- Holding different roles within an organization, where each role requires a distinct Platform presence.
- Separating personal and business activities, where an individual engages with the Platform both in a personal capacity and as a representative of a business entity.
- Testing, integration, or development purposes, provided that such developmental Accounts are clearly disclosed to the Company as serving testing functions and are not used to claim Rewards or participate in production activities.
- Managing related but legally distinct brands, businesses, or projects that you operate.
- Family members or multiple individuals residing in the same household, where each distinct individual may maintain their own Account provided that the Accounts are funded from separate sources and do not coordinate activities in ways that violate these Terms.
Mandatory Requirements for Multiple Accounts
Regardless of the justification for maintaining multiple Accounts, Users who do so must comply with the following mandatory requirements at all times:
- Each Account must serve a genuinely distinct and legitimate purpose as described above, and the User must be prepared to provide detailed justification and supporting documentation for the existence of multiple Accounts if requested by the Company.
- Accounts must not interact with each other in ways that create artificial engagement, inflate metrics, manipulate rankings, or otherwise game Platform systems.
- Multiple Accounts must not complete the same Smart Tasks. Each Smart Task is intended to be completed once per individual person, and completing the same task with multiple Accounts constitutes prohibited farming behavior regardless of whether the Accounts nominally serve different purposes.
- Multiple Accounts must not be used to circumvent referral program limitations, and specifically, Users are absolutely prohibited from referring their own alternate Accounts to earn referral Rewards.
- Multiple Accounts must not be used to circumvent any Platform limits, restrictions, or eligibility requirements, including transaction limits, withdrawal limits, feature access restrictions, or participation caps.
- Each Account must be funded from separate, legitimate sources that clearly demonstrate the distinct purposes of the Accounts.
- All Accounts must comply with these Terms independently, and violation of these Terms by one Account may result in consequences for all associated Accounts.
- Users maintaining multiple Accounts must disclose the existence of such Accounts if requested during investigations or if required by specific Platform features or verification processes.
- Users maintaining multiple Accounts must provide legitimate business justification if questioned by the Company, including documentation demonstrating the distinct purposes of each Account.
3.5 Strictly Prohibited Multiple Account Abuses
Certain uses of multiple Accounts are absolutely prohibited under all circumstances and will result in immediate permanent termination of all associated Accounts, forfeiture of all Rewards across all Accounts, and potential legal action. These prohibitions apply regardless of any purported legitimate purpose for maintaining multiple Accounts, and Users found engaging in any of these activities forfeit any claim to good faith or legitimate use.
Reward Manipulation
The creation or use of multiple Accounts for the purpose of reward manipulation is strictly prohibited in all forms, including:
- Creating multiple Accounts to claim sign-up bonuses or promotional rewards multiple times, which constitutes theft from the Platform and other legitimate Users.
- Self-referral schemes, wherein a User creates one or more additional Accounts and then refers those Accounts to their primary Account to earn referral Rewards.
- Coordinated referral arrangements with other Users wherein parties agree to create and refer accounts to each other for the purpose of generating referral Rewards (sometimes called "referral rings").
- Completing the same Smart Task with multiple Accounts, whether sequentially or simultaneously, which constitutes Smart Task farming.
- Distribution of Rewards between a User's own Accounts or strategic allocation of activities across multiple Accounts to maximize Reward eligibility.
- Gaming leaderboards, ranking systems, or competitive features through the use of multiple Accounts.
- Manipulating airdrop eligibility, token distribution criteria, or allocation mechanisms through the use of multiple Accounts.
Engagement Manipulation
Engagement manipulation through multiple Accounts is prohibited in all forms, including:
- Creating fake followers, subscribers, or engagement for Projects, Content, or Users through the use of multiple Accounts controlled by the same person.
- Artificial inflation of activity metrics such as views, likes, comments, shares, or other engagement signals through coordinated activity between multiple Accounts.
- Creating fake social proof, testimonials, reviews, or endorsements through the use of multiple accounts.
- Creating the appearance of community size, activity level, or enthusiasm for a Project through the use of multiple Accounts that coordinate to create false impressions.
- Manipulating voting systems, polling features, or other community decision-making mechanisms through the use of multiple Accounts.
- Boosting Content artificially through engagement from multiple Accounts controlled by the same person.
- Generating fake trading volume, transaction activity, or any other false activity metrics through coordination between multiple Accounts.
Circumvention of Restrictions
The use of multiple Accounts to circumvent restrictions or penalties is absolutely prohibited:
- Creating new Accounts after being banned or suspended in an attempt to regain access to the Platform.
- Using alternate Accounts to continue activities while a primary Account is suspended, to communicate with Users while restricted from doing so, or to access features from which you have been banned.
- Circumventing rate limits, transaction caps, withdrawal limits, or other quantitative restrictions through the use of multiple Accounts.
- Evading verification requirements by maintaining unverified accounts alongside verified accounts, or by shifting activities to unverified accounts to avoid scrutiny.
- Using multiple Accounts to avoid debt collection, payment obligations, or penalties imposed on other Accounts.
- Circumventing geographic restrictions by maintaining Accounts that purport to be located in different jurisdictions.
Fraudulent Schemes
Fraudulent schemes involving multiple Accounts are strictly prohibited and may result in criminal liability:
- Impersonating multiple different individuals through multiple Accounts, which constitutes identity fraud.
- Creating fictitious team members, advisors, or supporters for Projects through the use of multiple fake Accounts.
- Fabricating business relationships, partnerships, endorsements, or associations through the use of multiple Accounts that pretend to represent separate entities.
- Falsifying transaction history, trading activity, or financial metrics through coordinated activity between multiple Accounts.
- Creating fake competition, bidding activity, or market demand through the use of multiple Accounts that appear to compete but are actually controlled by the same person.
- Manipulating presale metrics, launch statistics, or participation levels through the use of multiple Accounts.
- Wash trading, self-dealing, or other forms of manipulative trading activity conducted through multiple Accounts.
System Gaming Through Technical Exploits
System gaming through technical exploits involving multiple Accounts is strictly prohibited:
- Exploiting bugs, vulnerabilities, or flaws in Platform systems across multiple Accounts to multiply rewards or benefits.
- Abusing trial periods, promotional periods, beta features, or limited-time offerings by accessing them multiple times through multiple Accounts.
- Coordinated attacks on Platform resources, including denial-of-service activities or attempts to overwhelm systems through simultaneous activities from multiple Accounts.
- Creating synthetic test scenarios across multiple Accounts that benefit you while appearing to be organic user activity.
- Manipulating A/B tests, experimental features, or Platform research by providing skewed data through multiple Accounts.
- Gaming algorithm changes, ranking systems, or recommendation engines through coordinated activity across multiple Accounts.
3.6 Detection, Monitoring, and Investigation of Multiple Account Abuse
Users acknowledge and expressly consent to comprehensive monitoring, detection, and investigation activities conducted by the Company to identify and prevent multiple Account abuse, system manipulation, fraud, and violations of these Terms. The Company employs sophisticated technical measures, behavioral analysis, financial tracking, manual review processes, and third-party data sources to detect prohibited activities. Users acknowledge that such monitoring is essential to maintaining Platform integrity and protecting legitimate Users, and users waive any privacy claims or objections to such monitoring to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Technical Monitoring Systems
The Company employs extensive technical monitoring systems, including but not limited to:
- IP address tracking and correlation systems to identify when multiple Accounts access the Platform from the same IP addresses.
- Device fingerprinting technology that creates unique identifiers for devices accessing the Platform based on hardware configurations, browser characteristics, installed fonts, screen resolution, and numerous other attributes.
- Browser and session analysis examining characteristics such as browser versions, installed extensions, cookie patterns, local storage contents, and session behavior patterns.
- Wallet address correlation and clustering to analyze blockchain data and identify relationships between Wallets connected to different Accounts.
- Blockchain transaction pattern analysis examining the timing, amounts, and patterns of transactions associated with Accounts.
- Timestamp and location analysis examining when Users access the Platform and from what geographic locations.
- Network behavior monitoring analyzing how Accounts interact with the Platform at a network level.
- API usage pattern detection identifying automated or scripted activity, particularly when multiple Accounts make API calls in coordinated patterns.
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence systems trained on historical data to identify patterns indicative of abuse.
Behavioral Analysis Systems
The Company examines how Users interact with the Platform to identify patterns suggesting common control:
- Task completion pattern analysis examining the timing, sequence, and manner in which Smart Tasks are completed.
- Content similarity and duplication detection systems analyzing User-generated Content to identify when multiple Accounts submit identical or substantially similar content.
- Communication pattern analysis examining messages, comments, and other communications for linguistic patterns, vocabulary choices, grammatical patterns, and stylistic elements.
- Referral network mapping creating comprehensive visualizations of referral relationships and identifying suspicious patterns.
- Activity correlation systems identifying when multiple Accounts are active on the Platform simultaneously, sequentially, or in synchronized patterns.
- Reward claiming pattern monitoring examining when and how Users claim Rewards.
- Social graph analysis mapping relationships between Users and identifying clusters of Accounts that interact primarily with each other.
Financial Analysis and Monitoring
The Company tracks the flow of value through the Platform and the blockchain:
- Wallet funding source tracking using blockchain analysis to trace the origin of funds used to activate Wallets connected to various Accounts.
- Transaction flow analysis identifying when funds or tokens move between Wallets associated with different Accounts.
- Reward distribution pattern monitoring examining how Rewards are distributed, claimed, and subsequently moved.
- Token holding pattern analysis examining what tokens are held in Wallets associated with various Accounts.
- Withdrawal behavior analysis examining withdrawal patterns, timing, and destinations.
- Cross-account financial relationship mapping creating comprehensive visualizations of financial flows.
- Risk scoring algorithms assigning risk scores to Accounts based on hundreds of factors.
Manual Investigation and Human Review
Trained specialists complement automated systems:
- Review of Accounts flagged by automated systems to make final determinations about whether violations have occurred.
- Community reporting and flagging mechanisms allowing Users to report suspected abuse.
- Investigation of reported violations according to established protocols.
- Deep dive analysis of high-value or suspicious Accounts involving comprehensive review of all available data.
- Verification requests allowing investigators to require Users to provide documentation proving legitimate purposes for multiple Accounts.
User Consent and Cooperation
Users explicitly consent to all such monitoring, detection, and investigation activities as a condition of using the Platform. This consent includes consent to collection and analysis of Personal Data and behavioral data, use of third-party services to verify information and detect fraud, blockchain analysis of Wallets connected to your Account, retention of data necessary for investigations even after Account termination, sharing of information about violations with law enforcement or regulatory authorities where legally required or permitted, and use of automated decision-making systems to flag, restrict, or terminate Accounts based on risk scores.
Users acknowledge that investigation processes may result in temporary Account restrictions or Reward holds while investigations are conducted. Users subject to investigation are expected to cooperate fully by providing requested information, documentation, and explanations promptly and completely. Failure to cooperate with investigations will be treated as an admission of violations and will result in permanent Account termination.
3.7 Consequences and Enforcement Actions for Multiple Account Abuse
When the Company determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that a User has violated the multiple Account provisions of these Terms, engaged in prohibited activities, or otherwise abused Platform systems, the Company may take immediate enforcement action without prior notice and without providing the User an opportunity to cure, respond, or appeal. The nature and severity of enforcement actions will be proportionate to the severity of the violation as determined by the Company, but Users acknowledge that even relatively minor violations may result in severe consequences where necessary to protect Platform integrity or deter future violations by others.
Immediate Platform-Level Consequences
Upon detection of serious violations, the Company may implement:
- Immediate suspension of all associated Accounts, terminating access to all Account features and preventing login.
- Freezing of all pending Rewards across all associated Accounts, preventing the User from claiming Rewards that have been allocated but not yet distributed.
- Termination of access to the Platform, which may be temporary or permanent depending on the circumstances.
- Revocation of all SALE IDs associated with the abusive Accounts, which are permanently retired and cannot be reclaimed by any user in the future.
- Cancellation of pending transactions or activities, halting all in-progress activities including Smart Task submissions under review, pending referrals, and scheduled Reward distributions.
- Removal of all Content and Project listings, with all Content uploaded by the violator deleted from the Platform.
- Deletion of Accounts and associated data after an appropriate retention period for legal and investigative purposes.
- Reporting to relevant authorities when violations appear to involve criminal activity such as fraud, money laundering, or identity theft.
- Banning of all associated Wallets, IP addresses, and devices to prevent the violator from accessing the Platform even if they attempt to create new Accounts.
Financial Consequences
Financial consequences of violations are severe and designed to eliminate any economic incentive for abuse:
- Forfeiture of all unclaimed Rewards across all associated Accounts, occurring immediately upon determination of violations.
- Clawback of previously distributed Rewards when technically and legally feasible.
- Demand for repayment of improperly obtained Rewards, with such demands constituting liquidated damages.
- Withholding of any funds or assets under the Company's control, occurring immediately upon determination of violations.
- Offset of any amounts owed against amounts due, allowing the Company to apply any amounts it owes to the User against amounts the User owes to the Company arising from violations.
- Recovery costs and legal fees incurred by the Company in investigating, preventing, or remedying violations.
- Interest on amounts owed accruing from the date of the violation at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
- Civil legal action for damages and recovery through litigation or arbitration.
Permanent Restrictions
Permanent restrictions ensure that violators cannot benefit from the Platform in the future:
- Permanent ban from creating new Accounts, preventing the violator from ever returning to the Platform under any identity.
- Blacklisting of all associated identifiers including email addresses, phone numbers, Wallet addresses, device fingerprints, and IP addresses.
- Prohibition from any future use of the Platform extending to all features, services, and functions.
- Exclusion from future airdrops, Rewards, or benefits ensuring that violators cannot benefit from Platform growth or new initiatives.
- Termination of any Project listings or partnerships resulting in Projects being permanently delisted.
- Public disclosure of bans in cases of serious violations that affect the broader community.
- Reporting to industry databases and watchlists sharing information about serious violators with other platforms and services.
- No possibility of appeal or reinstatement for serious violations involving fraud, repeated abuse, or substantial harm.
Legal Remedies
The Company reserves the right to pursue all available legal remedies:
- Civil claims for damages, fraud, unjust enrichment, breach of contract, misappropriation, or conversion.
- Reporting of criminal activity to law enforcement when violations appear to involve fraud, identity theft, money laundering, computer fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy, or other criminal offenses.
- Cooperation with regulatory investigations when violations involve securities law violations, money transmission violations, consumer protection violations, or other regulatory matters.
- Seeking injunctive relief to prevent ongoing harm through emergency court proceedings.
- Filing complaints with relevant regulatory bodies to inform regulators of patterns of abuse.
- Pursuit of claims in any jurisdiction where the Company has rights.
- Seeking maximum penalties available under law to ensure sufficient deterrent effect.
3.8 SALE ID System: Claims, Ownership, and Policies
The SALE ID system provides Users with unique identifier handles displayed in the format @username that serve as the primary means of identity on the Platform. When you claim a SALE ID, you receive a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use that identifier in connection with your use of the Platform, subject to compliance with these Terms and the SALE ID policies set forth herein. You do not acquire any ownership rights, property rights, or intellectual property rights in the SALE ID itself, which remains the exclusive property of the Company at all times.
License Terms and Transfer Restrictions
The license granted to you to use a SALE ID is personal, non-transferable, and non-assignable. You may not sell, transfer, assign, license, sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise convey your SALE ID to any other person or entity under any circumstances. Any purported sale, transfer, or assignment of a SALE ID is void ab initio and constitutes a material breach of these Terms. If the Company becomes aware of any attempted or completed sale or transfer of a SALE ID, the Company will immediately revoke the SALE ID, terminate all associated Accounts, and forfeit all Rewards, with no compensation to any party involved in the prohibited transaction.
SALE IDs cannot be used as collateral for loans or as security interests for any obligations. You may not grant any third party any rights or interests in your SALE ID, whether as collateral, security, or otherwise. SALE IDs have no monetary value and do not constitute property or assets that can be seized, attached, or reached by creditors. If you claim that a SALE ID has value for purposes of any transaction, you violate these Terms and the Company may immediately revoke the SALE ID.
Company Reclamation Rights
The Company may reclaim any SALE ID at any time for any reason in its sole discretion. Reclamation may occur for violations of these Terms, violations of SALE ID naming policies, abandonment or inactivity, determinations that a SALE ID infringes trademark or other intellectual property rights, determinations that a SALE ID causes confusion or misleads Users, determinations that a SALE ID is needed for Platform operations or official purposes, determinations that the SALE ID was claimed through fraud or abuse, or for any other reason or no reason at all. The Company is not required to provide advance notice before reclaiming a SALE ID, though the Company will make reasonable efforts to provide notice when practicable.
Trademark or brand name SALE IDs may be reclaimed by rightful trademark owners through the Company's dispute resolution process. If a trademark owner demonstrates valid trademark rights and shows that a User has claimed a SALE ID corresponding to the trademark without authorization, the Company will transfer the SALE ID to the trademark owner or retire it from use, at the Company's discretion. Users who claim SALE IDs corresponding to trademarks they do not own do so at risk of losing the SALE ID without compensation.
Inactive SALE IDs may be reclaimed by the Company after a period of inactivity determined by the Company in its discretion, typically but not necessarily twelve (12) months of no Account activity. Before reclaiming an inactive SALE ID, the Company will make reasonable efforts to notify the Account holder via email, but failure to receive such notice does not prevent reclamation. Once reclaimed, inactive SALE IDs may be released for others to claim or may be retired at the Company's discretion.
SALE ID Naming Policies
SALE ID naming policies govern what handles may be claimed and used on the Platform. These policies are designed to prevent confusion, protect intellectual property rights, maintain community standards, and ensure that the SALE ID system functions effectively. Violations of naming policies may result in SALE ID revocation even if no other Terms violations have occurred.
Prohibited Name Types
- Impersonation: You may not claim a SALE ID that suggests you are someone you are not, whether that be a celebrity, public figure, company, brand, institution, government entity, or any other person or organization.
- Trademarked names: Trademarked names may not be used as SALE IDs without authorization from the trademark owner.
- Public figures: Names of public figures, celebrities, politicians, and other well-known individuals may not be used as SALE IDs by persons other than the individual themselves or their authorized representatives.
- Offensive language: Offensive, vulgar, hateful, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate language may not be used in SALE IDs.
- Misleading names: Misleading or deceptive names that create false impressions about your identity, role, authority, or affiliation are prohibited.
- Official Platform status: Names suggesting official Platform status such as "admin," "official," "support," "team," "staff," "moderator," "XRPL.Sale," or similar terms are prohibited for use by Users.
- Personal information of others: Names containing personal information of others, including full names, addresses, phone numbers, or other identifying information of non-public individuals, are prohibited.
- Confusingly similar names: Names confusingly similar to existing prominent SALE IDs are prohibited when the similarity would create confusion.
- Reserved terms: Reserved terms and Platform terminology may not be used in SALE IDs in ways that suggest official status or create confusion.
Name Squatting and Abuse Prevention
Name squatting and abuse of the SALE ID system for speculative or commercial purposes is strictly prohibited. Claiming SALE IDs with the intent to sell them to others who want those handles constitutes squatting and violates these Terms. SALE IDs have no monetary value and cannot be sold, and any User claiming SALE IDs for the purpose of extracting payment from others who want the handles will have all SALE IDs revoked and will be permanently banned from the Platform.
Hoarding multiple desirable SALE IDs without legitimate purpose constitutes abuse and may result in reclamation of some or all handles. While maintaining multiple Accounts may be permitted under Section 3.4 for legitimate purposes, claiming numerous SALE IDs to prevent others from using them or to extract value from them in the future is prohibited. The Company monitors SALE ID claiming patterns and may investigate Users who claim large numbers of handles, particularly valuable or desirable handles.
Verification and Official Status Designations
Verification and official status designations may be applied by the Company to certain SALE IDs to indicate authenticity or official status. A verified badge or official designation signifies that the Company has confirmed the Account genuinely represents the entity or individual it purports to represent. Verification criteria include but are not limited to prominence or public interest in the entity or individual, risk of impersonation, provision of documentation proving identity or authority, maintenance of Account in good standing, and any other factors the Company deems relevant.
Verification is granted at the Company's sole discretion and is not available upon request except through prescribed application processes that the Company may establish. The Company may verify any Account it chooses regardless of whether the Account holder requested verification, and the Company may decline to verify Accounts even when verification criteria appear to be satisfied. Verification can be revoked at any time for violations of Terms, loss of public prominence, changes in circumstances affecting verification justification, or any other reason or no reason at all.
3.9 Public Profile System and Visibility
When you claim a SALE ID on the Platform, you automatically receive a public profile that is visible to all Platform Users and potentially to the general public internet. This public profile is a core feature of the SALE ID system and cannot be disabled while you maintain an active Account and SALE ID. By claiming a SALE ID and creating an Account, you explicitly consent to the public nature of your profile and waive any privacy objections to such public visibility to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Information Displayed on Public Profiles
Your public profile displays various types of information and activity data:
- Profile information: SALE ID handle, profile image (if uploaded), bio or description text (if provided), date you joined the Platform, verification or official status badges (if applicable), and any other profile fields you choose to populate.
- Activity information: Smart Tasks you have completed or are currently working on, Rewards you have claimed or been allocated, Projects you have created, listed, or manage, Content you have posted or contributed, your participation in Platform features and activities, and reputation metrics, badges, achievements, or recognition you have earned.
- Blockchain and Project information: Wallets you have connected to your Account (displayed as wallet addresses), tokens you hold in connected Wallets based on publicly available blockchain data, your participation in Project launches, presales, or other Project-related activities, trustlines you have established for various tokens, and transaction history associated with your connected Wallets to the extent such history is publicly available on the blockchain.
- Social and community information: Your referral network showing how many users you have referred and general network structure, Projects or Accounts you follow or support, comments, posts, or other contributions to community discussions, participation in polls, votes, or community governance activities, and any other public engagement with the Platform's social features.
Privacy Controls and Limitations
While SALE ID profiles are inherently public, the Company may provide limited privacy controls that allow you to restrict visibility of certain types of information. However, you acknowledge that certain basic information will always be visible and cannot be hidden while maintaining an active SALE ID and Account. Such always-visible information includes your SALE ID handle, your verification or official status if applicable, basic Account age and status information, and certain activity metrics that are fundamental to the Platform's social and reputation features.
Information you choose to make public through your own actions, including Content you post, comments you make, Project descriptions you create, and any other information you voluntarily share, will be publicly visible and you bear sole responsibility for such disclosures. The Company is not responsible for privacy implications of information you choose to share publicly and recommends against sharing sensitive personal information such as full names, physical addresses, phone numbers, financial account information, government identification numbers, or any other information that could facilitate identity theft, stalking, harassment, or other harm.
Blockchain transactions are inherently public and permanently recorded on the XRPL blockchain. Information derived from blockchain records and displayed on your profile is sourced from publicly available blockchain data and would be accessible to anyone analyzing the blockchain even if not displayed on the Platform. The Company cannot and does not control the public nature of blockchain transactions and bears no responsibility for privacy implications of your on-chain activities.
Profile Persistence After Account Deletion
Deletion or deactivation of your Account will cause your public profile to be removed from active display within a reasonable timeframe after Account termination. However, you acknowledge that certain information may persist beyond Account termination. Cached or archived versions of your profile may exist in search engine caches, internet archives, or other systems beyond the Company's control. Third parties may have captured or recorded information from your public profile while it was active. Content you posted that has been shared, quoted, or referenced by others may persist even after your Account is deleted. Blockchain records of your transactions will persist permanently on the blockchain and cannot be deleted by anyone.
You acknowledge that once you have operated a public profile on the Platform, complete erasure of all traces of your participation is technically impossible given the nature of internet caching, third-party archiving, blockchain immutability, and other factors. You accept this reality as an inherent consequence of participating in a public blockchain ecosystem and operating a public profile.
3.10 Account Termination, Deletion, and Effects
Termination of your Account may occur either voluntarily at your initiative or involuntarily at the Company's initiative. Both voluntary and involuntary termination have significant and potentially permanent consequences that you should understand before creating an Account or before choosing to terminate an Account you have created.
Voluntary Termination
Voluntary termination occurs when you decide to close your Account and cease using the Platform. You may initiate voluntary termination by contacting support at team@xrpl.sale with a request to delete or terminate your Account, by using Account deletion functionality in Platform settings if such functionality is available, or through such other means as the Company may specify. When requesting voluntary termination, you must provide adequate information to verify your identity and ownership of the Account to prevent unauthorized termination by third parties.
Before voluntary termination can be completed, you must settle any outstanding obligations you may have to the Company or other Users, including payment of any amounts owed, completion or proper withdrawal from any commitments you have made, resolution of any disputes in which you are involved, and satisfaction of any other outstanding responsibilities. You must claim any pending Rewards before voluntary termination, as unclaimed Rewards will be forfeited upon termination with no subsequent ability to claim them.
Upon voluntary termination:
- Your access to the Platform will be terminated within a reasonable timeframe after your request is processed, typically within seven to fourteen business days.
- Your SALE ID will be released and may be made available for others to claim after a holdback period determined by the Company, typically between thirty to ninety days.
- Content you have posted may remain visible if it is tied to public blockchain records, part of Project listings you created, or otherwise integrated into Platform functionality in ways that make removal impractical.
- Your public activity history may remain in archived form indefinitely as it represents part of the Platform's historical record.
- The Company may retain certain Account data as required by applicable law, typically for periods ranging from five to seven years depending on the jurisdiction and type of data.
- You forfeit any unclaimed Rewards upon voluntary termination with no subsequent ability to claim such Rewards or receive compensation for them.
- You remain liable for any prior violations of these Terms even after voluntary termination.
Involuntary Termination
Involuntary termination occurs when the Company terminates your Account due to violations of these Terms, suspected fraud or abuse, risk to the Platform or other Users, legal or regulatory requirements, extended inactivity, or at the Company's sole discretion for any reason or no reason at all. Involuntary termination may occur immediately without prior notice or warning when the Company determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the Platform, prevent ongoing violations, comply with legal requirements, or for any other reason.
Upon involuntary termination:
- Access to your Account is revoked immediately and you are locked out without opportunity to claim pending Rewards, export data, or access Account information.
- Your SALE ID profile becomes inactive immediately and displays as a terminated or banned Account if the Company chooses to maintain a record of the termination for transparency purposes.
- All Rewards and benefits are forfeited immediately including pending rewards, vested but unclaimed rewards, and any other benefits or privileges associated with your Account.
- Active Smart Tasks you were working on are marked as incomplete and you receive no credit or compensation for partial completion.
- Pending transactions related to your Account may be canceled including Reward distributions, referral credits, or any other operations in progress.
- Your Content may be deleted from the Platform at the Company's discretion, though certain Content may be retained if necessary for other Users' understanding of Projects or activities they participated in.
- Your public profile may be marked as terminated or banned and may display general information about the nature of the violations that led to termination.
- Associated Wallets may be blacklisted and prevented from connecting to new Accounts.
- IP addresses, device fingerprints, and other identifiers associated with your Account are added to blacklists to prevent you from creating new Accounts.
- You may be permanently banned from creating new Accounts on the Platform, with this ban enforced through technical measures and manual review.
- The Company may publicly disclose the fact of your termination without including identifying Personal Data in order to maintain transparency about Platform security and enforcement activities.
- The Company may report your activities to appropriate authorities if termination was based on suspected criminal activity.
- The Company reserves all rights to pursue legal remedies for damages caused by your violations including civil litigation for damages, injunctive relief to prevent ongoing harm, criminal prosecution referrals where appropriate, and any other remedies available under law or these Terms.
Effects Common to Both Types of Termination
Effects common to both voluntary and involuntary termination include:
- Immediate cessation of access to all Platform features and inability to log in, view Account information, or perform any Account-related actions.
- Your SALE ID becomes inactive and cannot be used for authentication on the Platform or integrated services.
- Your ability to claim any Rewards terminates immediately and all unclaimed Rewards are forfeited permanently.
- Smart Tasks you were working on become incomplete with no credit or compensation.
- Referral relationships terminate and you cease earning referral rewards from previously referred Users' activities.
- Associated Projects you managed may be removed from the Platform or transferred to other managers if appropriate and feasible.
- Public profile removal occurs within a reasonable timeframe though complete erasure is impossible due to caching, archiving, and blockchain immutability.
- The Company may retain data as necessary for legal compliance, fraud prevention and security purposes, enforcement of legal rights, or any other legitimate business purpose.
- Anonymized or aggregated data derived from your Account may be retained indefinitely and used for analytics, research, platform improvement, or other purposes.
- You lose access to your dashboard and historical data with no subsequent ability to export or retrieve such information unless you requested it before termination.
- Community connections, followers, and social relationships are terminated and cannot be restored even if you are later permitted to create a new Account.
- You remain liable for violations that occurred before termination regardless of when such violations are discovered or when consequences are sought.
- Termination does not constitute a waiver of any rights, remedies, or obligations that existed prior to termination.
Survival of Terms
Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination continue in full force including all definitions and interpretation rules, intellectual property provisions regarding license grants to the Company, warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability, indemnification obligations for actions taken before termination, dispute resolution and arbitration provisions, confidentiality obligations if any, payment obligations for services used before termination, and any other provisions stated to survive or that must survive to give effect to their purpose.
You acknowledge that termination of your Account, whether voluntary or involuntary, has significant and potentially irreversible consequences including permanent loss of access to the Platform, forfeiture of all unclaimed Rewards and benefits, loss of your SALE ID and public profile, inability to export or retrieve Account data after termination, and potential reputational harm from public disclosure of involuntary termination for violations. You accept these consequences as inherent to the Account structure and agree that you will not hold the Company liable for any losses, damages, or inconvenience resulting from termination that is conducted in accordance with these Terms.
4.1 Smart Tasks System: Purpose, Structure, and Operation
The Smart Tasks system constitutes a gamified engagement mechanism through which Users may complete specific tasks, challenges, activities, or assignments in exchange for potential Rewards, subject to quality verification, compliance with requirements, and approval by the Company in its sole discretion. Smart Tasks are designed to incentivize valuable contributions to the XRPL ecosystem, foster genuine community engagement, promote quality Projects, facilitate user education, encourage Platform adoption, reward meaningful participation, and align User incentives with Platform and ecosystem growth. The Smart Tasks system operates on principles of merit-based reward distribution wherein compensation is determined not merely by task completion but by the quality, authenticity, and value of the contribution as assessed by the Company.
Manual Review and Future Automation
Smart Tasks are currently processed through manual review with human verification of completion and quality assessment, though the Company intends to implement artificial intelligence and algorithmic systems to augment or replace manual processing in the future. During the manual processing phase, each task submission undergoes individual review by trained personnel who assess whether the submission meets stated requirements, demonstrates genuine effort and quality, complies with all applicable rules and guidelines, and provides value consistent with the task's intended purpose. Manual review allows for nuanced judgment regarding quality and authenticity that purely automated systems cannot yet replicate, ensuring that Rewards flow to Users who genuinely contribute value rather than to those who mechanically satisfy technical requirements while subverting the spirit of the system.
Processing Timeframes
The Company makes no guarantees regarding processing timeframes for Smart Task submissions, though the Company endeavors to process submissions within reasonable timeframes under normal circumstances. Processing times may vary substantially based on submission volume, complexity of verification required, availability of review personnel, technical difficulties, or other factors. Users acknowledge that some submissions may require extended processing periods, potentially exceeding thirty (30) days in complex cases, and that such delays create no liability for the Company and do not entitle Users to compensation for waiting.
Difficulty Tiers
Smart Tasks exist in various difficulty tiers that may include but are not limited to Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, or other categorizations determined by the Company. Difficulty tiers reflect the time investment required, skill level needed, complexity of requirements, value provided to the ecosystem, or other factors deemed relevant by the Company. Higher difficulty tasks typically but not necessarily offer greater potential Rewards, though the Company maintains sole discretion to adjust reward structures and may determine that quality completion of a lower-tier task merits greater reward than poor completion of a higher-tier task.
Task Availability and Deadlines
Smart Tasks may be time-limited or ongoing depending on their nature and purpose. Time-limited tasks have defined start and end dates, after which submissions are no longer accepted regardless of whether the User began work during the active period. Users bear sole responsibility for tracking task deadlines and ensuring timely submission. The Company will make reasonable efforts to display accurate deadline information but is not liable for any errors in deadline display or for Users' failure to submit before deadlines. Ongoing tasks remain available indefinitely or until the Company determines to deactivate them, which may occur without advance notice.
Smart Tasks may be available platform-wide to all eligible Users or may be restricted to specific user segments based on criteria such as verification status, reputation level, previous task completion history, geographic location, SALE ID verification, Project affiliation, or any other criteria the Company deems appropriate. Restricted tasks display eligibility requirements clearly, and Users who do not meet such requirements cannot validly complete those tasks even if they submit work. Submissions from ineligible Users will be rejected without review and without notification.
Project-Specific Smart Tasks
Smart Tasks related to specific Projects may be created either by the Company for Platform purposes or by Project operators for their own marketing and community building purposes. In the future, the Company intends to enable Projects to create and fund their own Smart Tasks as a service provided through the Platform, allowing Projects to leverage the Smart Tasks infrastructure for decentralized marketing, community growth, and engagement. When this functionality is implemented, Project-specific Smart Tasks will be clearly identified as such, and Projects rather than the Company will bear responsibility for funding the associated Rewards, though the Company will maintain oversight to ensure tasks comply with these Terms and Platform policies.
Human-Centered Design
Smart Tasks are designed to be suitable for genuine human completion and to require meaningful effort, creativity, judgment, or skill. Tasks are explicitly not designed for automation, bulk completion, or mechanical processing by bots or scripts. Each task description specifies requirements that must be met for valid completion, quality standards that submissions must satisfy, verification criteria that will be applied during review, and any specific rules or restrictions particular to that task. Users are solely responsible for reading and understanding task requirements before beginning work, and the Company bears no responsibility for Users' misunderstanding of requirements or wasted effort on submissions that fail to meet stated criteria.
4.2 Reward Structure and Distribution Principles
Rewards offered through Smart Tasks and other Platform mechanisms are provided at the Company's sole discretion and constitute incentives rather than earned compensation or contractual obligations. The Company maintains absolute discretion to determine reward amounts, adjust reward structures, modify eligibility criteria, implement vesting schedules, change distribution mechanisms, or discontinue reward programs entirely without advance notice and without liability to Users who anticipated receiving rewards under previous structures.
Reward amounts for Smart Tasks are typically specified in the task description, though such specified amounts represent maximum potential rewards rather than guaranteed payments. Actual rewards distributed may be less than the specified maximum based on quality assessment, partial completion, identification of issues during review, market conditions affecting reward budgets, or any other factors the Company deems relevant. In cases where task completion quality significantly exceeds expectations, the Company may at its discretion award bonus rewards above the specified amount, though Users have no right to expect or demand such bonuses.
Rewards may be denominated in various forms including XRP (the native token of the XRPL blockchain), other XRPL-based tokens selected by the Company, Platform points or credits that may be redeemable for other benefits, access to exclusive features or opportunities that provide value beyond monetary compensation, priority placement or enhanced visibility for User profiles or Projects, recognition through badges, achievements, or reputation enhancements, future token allocations or airdrop eligibility, or any other form of value that the Company determines to offer. The Company reserves the right to substitute one form of reward for another, to convert rewards from one denomination to another at exchange rates determined by the Company using commercially reasonable data sources, or to modify reward composition at any time.
Reward distribution timing varies based on the nature of the task, verification requirements, and operational considerations. Some rewards may be distributed immediately upon approval of task completion, while others may be subject to vesting schedules, holding periods, distribution in tranches over time, or other temporal restrictions. Vesting schedules, when implemented, may be based on continued Platform usage, ongoing compliance with these Terms, achievement of milestones, passage of time, or any other criteria the Company establishes. Unvested rewards may be forfeited if the User violates these Terms, terminates their Account, becomes inactive, or fails to satisfy vesting conditions, with forfeiture occurring automatically without notice or opportunity to cure.
The Company may implement various conditions and restrictions on reward distribution including minimum claim thresholds below which rewards cannot be claimed, maximum claim frequencies limiting how often rewards may be claimed, identity verification requirements for claiming rewards above certain thresholds, wallet verification to ensure rewards are distributed to legitimate User-controlled wallets, anti-money laundering screening before distributing significant reward amounts, tax documentation requirements where applicable under the Company's interpretation of legal obligations, or any other conditions deemed necessary or appropriate.
Rewards are subject to clawback provisions allowing the Company to recover rewards that were distributed in error, obtained through fraud or violations, calculated incorrectly due to technical errors, or distributed based on incomplete information that would have affected eligibility or amount. Clawback may be effectuated through various means including reversing distributions where technically possible, offsetting future rewards against amounts subject to clawback, withholding other amounts owed to the User, demanding repayment with interest, or pursuing legal remedies for recovery. Users consent to such clawback mechanisms and agree not to contest the Company's exercise of clawback rights when exercised in good faith.
Reward budgets are finite and the Company maintains sole discretion to allocate budget among various tasks, programs, and purposes. If reward budgets for particular tasks or programs are exhausted before all qualifying submissions are rewarded, the Company may reduce rewards proportionally, implement first-come-first-served distribution, prioritize highest-quality submissions, or employ any other allocation methodology deemed fair and appropriate under the circumstances. Users acknowledge that early participation in tasks provides advantages and that waiting to participate risks budget exhaustion.
The Company makes no representations or warranties regarding the value, future value, liquidity, or utility of any rewards distributed. Rewards denominated in XRP or other cryptocurrencies are subject to market volatility and may lose substantial value after distribution. The Company has no obligation to maintain, support, or create markets for any rewards and specifically disclaims any obligation to provide liquidity or redemption mechanisms for Platform points or credits. Users assume all risks associated with receiving rewards including market risk, liquidity risk, technical risk, regulatory risk, and any other risks inherent in digital assets.
4.3 Prohibited Activities in Smart Tasks
Users engaging with Smart Tasks must comply with strict standards of authenticity, quality, and honest effort. Certain categories of activity are absolutely prohibited and will result in immediate disqualification from the task, forfeiture of associated rewards, and potentially broader consequences including Account suspension or termination depending on the severity of the violation.
Automation and Bots
The use of bots, scripts, automation tools, or any technological means to complete tasks without genuine human effort is strictly prohibited. Smart Tasks are designed to reward human contribution, and mechanical completion subverts this purpose while stealing opportunities from Users who invest genuine effort. This prohibition extends to use of browser automation tools, robotic process automation software, artificial intelligence systems operated without appropriate human review and input, mass submission tools, and any other technology that removes meaningful human judgment and effort from the completion process. Limited use of productivity tools that assist but do not replace human effort may be permissible depending on the nature of the task, but Users bear the burden of demonstrating that their use of tools involved substantial human contribution.
Low-Quality or Placeholder Content
Submission of low-quality, minimal-effort, or placeholder content that technically satisfies requirements but provides no real value is prohibited. Quality standards are inherent in all Smart Tasks regardless of whether explicitly stated, and Users are expected to provide submissions that demonstrate genuine effort, provide value consistent with the reward offered, meet community standards for quality and professionalism, and reflect positively on the Platform and XRPL ecosystem. Submissions consisting of AI-generated content without meaningful human review, editing, and value-addition are presumptively low-quality and will typically be rejected. While AI tools may be used to assist in task completion where not explicitly prohibited, Users must add substantial human creativity, judgment, and refinement to create submissions of genuine value.
Plagiarism and Intellectual Property Violations
Copying, plagiarizing, or closely paraphrasing content from other sources without proper attribution constitutes intellectual property theft and violates these Terms as well as potentially applicable copyright laws. This prohibition applies equally to copying from other Users' submissions, copying from external sources found through search engines, copying from other blockchain projects or communities, and any other form of misappropriation of others' creative work. Even with attribution, excessive quotation or reliance on others' work without substantial original contribution may be deemed insufficient to merit rewards. Users must create original work that reflects their own effort, analysis, creativity, and perspective.
Submission Recycling
Reusing the same or substantially similar submissions across multiple Smart Tasks violates the principle that each task merits distinct effort and contribution. Users may not submit the same written content for multiple tasks even if the tasks appear related, submit the same creative work to multiple tasks even with minor modifications, fulfill multiple tasks through a single effort without creating distinct value for each, or otherwise attempt to maximize rewards while minimizing effort through submission recycling. Each task deserves dedicated attention and specifically tailored work product.
Multi-Account Abuse
Completing the same Smart Task with multiple Accounts violates the prohibition on multi-account farming addressed in Section 3 and constitutes theft of rewards intended for distinct individuals. Each task is designed to be completed once per person, and circumventing this limitation through multiple Accounts is fraudulent regardless of whether the multiple Accounts nominally serve legitimate purposes. Users maintaining multiple Accounts for legitimate reasons must ensure that each Account completes entirely different sets of tasks.
Improper Use of Artificial Intelligence
Using artificial intelligence to generate content submissions without meaningful human review, editing, and value-addition is prohibited when tasks require original creative work. While AI may be a useful tool for brainstorming, research, or drafting, final submissions must reflect substantial human contribution that adds genuine value, demonstrates critical thinking and judgment, incorporates human creativity and perspective, and meets quality standards appropriate to the reward offered. Submissions that are clearly AI-generated with minimal human refinement will be rejected, and repeated submission of such low-effort AI content will result in suspension from Smart Tasks or Account termination.
Collusion and Coordinated Schemes
Colluding or coordinating with other Users to complete tasks more easily, to share workload inappropriately, or to maximize collective rewards through schemes that subvert task intent is prohibited. While collaboration may be explicitly permitted or even encouraged in certain collaborative tasks, coordination designed to game the system or reduce required effort below intended levels violates these Terms. Examples of prohibited coordination include agreement among Users to complete each other's tasks, sharing of task solutions or approaches to reduce effort, coordinated submission patterns designed to exploit review processes, and any other cooperative schemes designed to obtain rewards disproportionate to value contributed.
Technical Exploits and System Manipulation
Gaming task completion systems through technical exploits, manipulation of verification mechanisms, or exploitation of bugs or vulnerabilities is prohibited and may constitute computer fraud under applicable law. If Users discover vulnerabilities or exploits in task systems, they are obligated to report such issues to the Company immediately rather than exploiting them for personal gain. Users who exploit system vulnerabilities face Account termination, legal liability for damages, and potential criminal prosecution referrals depending on the severity of the exploitation.
Dishonesty and Misrepresentation
Submitting false information, making false claims, or otherwise engaging in dishonesty in connection with Smart Tasks is prohibited and may constitute fraud. This prohibition includes falsely claiming to have taken actions required by tasks when such actions were not actually taken, submitting fabricated evidence of task completion such as doctored screenshots, misrepresenting the effort invested or value provided by submissions, claiming others' work as one's own through plagiarism or misattribution, and any other dishonest conduct related to tasks. Dishonesty undermines the integrity of the entire reward system and will be punished severely.
Review Process Interference
Attempting to manipulate or influence the review process through bribes, threats, harassment of reviewers, creating multiple Accounts to submit reviews or ratings of one's own work, or any other improper conduct directed at review personnel or systems is strictly prohibited. Review personnel make decisions in good faith based on stated criteria and their professional judgment, and attempts to subvert this process threaten the fairness and integrity of the entire system. Users who attempt to manipulate review processes face immediate permanent Account termination and potential legal action.
Aiding and Abetting Violations
Encouraging, facilitating, or assisting others in violating Smart Task rules makes the assisting User equally culpable. This includes providing tools, scripts, or automation systems to others for prohibited use, selling task completion services or selling completed task submissions, sharing confidential task information that should remain private, teaching others how to exploit vulnerabilities or game systems, and any other conduct that facilitates violations by others. Users have an obligation not to assist others in violating these Terms.
4.4 Quality Standards and Verification Requirements
All Smart Task submissions are subject to quality assessment during the review process, with quality standards applied based on the nature of the task, the reward offered, the difficulty tier, and the value the submission provides to the Platform or ecosystem. While specific quality standards vary by task, certain general principles apply universally across all Smart Tasks and Users are expected to understand and apply these principles even when not explicitly stated in task descriptions.
Effort and Professionalism
Submissions must demonstrate genuine effort proportional to the reward offered. Tasks offering minimal rewards require reasonable effort appropriate to the compensation, while tasks offering substantial rewards demand corresponding investment of time, skill, and creativity. Reviewers assess effort based on multiple factors including depth of analysis or research evident in submissions, sophistication of execution and presentation, originality of approach or perspective, attention to detail and quality of execution, and overall polish and professionalism of deliverables. Submissions that appear hastily prepared, minimally researched, poorly executed, or otherwise inconsistent with the effort expected for the reward offered will be rejected or awarded reduced rewards at the reviewer's discretion.
Alignment with Task Purpose
Submissions must provide genuine value aligned with the task's stated purpose. Each task is designed to achieve specific objectives such as creating awareness of Projects or the Platform, generating user-generated content that enhances the ecosystem, educating the community about features or concepts, gathering feedback for Platform improvement, testing features and reporting bugs, building social proof and engagement, or any other purpose specified in the task description. Submissions that technically satisfy requirements but fail to advance the task's underlying purpose provide no value and will be rejected. For example, a task designed to create awareness through social media posts will reject posts that satisfy technical requirements but are posted to accounts with no genuine audience.
Community Standards
Submissions must meet community standards for appropriate, professional, and non-offensive content. This requirement applies even when not explicitly stated in task requirements and reflects the expectation that all content associated with the Platform maintains certain baseline standards of decency and professionalism. Prohibited content includes, without limitation:
- Hate speech, harassment, or discriminatory content targeting individuals or groups.
- Sexually explicit, pornographic, or excessively violent content.
- Defamatory statements or false allegations against individuals or entities.
- Content promoting illegal activities or providing instructions for harmful conduct.
- Spam, scams, or deceptive schemes.
- Content infringing intellectual property rights of others.
- Any other content that the Company determines violates community standards or damages the Platform's reputation.
Originality and Prior Work
Submissions must be original work created specifically for the task rather than recycled content created for other purposes. Even if content was originally created by the User for other contexts, resubmitting it for Smart Tasks without substantial modification and customization is prohibited. This requirement ensures that tasks generate new value rather than merely compensating Users for work they had already performed. In cases where tasks explicitly permit submission of previously created work, such permission will be clearly stated in task requirements and Users must still ensure that submissions meet all other quality standards.
Technical Requirements and Completeness
Submissions requiring specific formats, specifications, or technical requirements must comply precisely with stated requirements. Format requirements may include character counts or word limits for text submissions, image dimensions, resolution, or file size limits for visual content, video length, format, or quality specifications for video submissions, code formatting, documentation, or testing requirements for technical tasks, or any other specifications relevant to particular task types. Submissions failing to meet technical requirements will be rejected without consideration of other quality factors, as non-compliant submissions cannot fulfill the task's purpose regardless of their other merits.
Submissions must include all required elements specified in task descriptions. Common required elements include proof of completion such as screenshots, links, or other evidence; explanations or documentation describing the submission and approach taken; specific deliverables requested in the task description; compliance with branding, messaging, or other guidelines; inclusion of required disclosures, disclaimers, or attributions; or any other elements specified as mandatory. Incomplete submissions missing required elements will be rejected or returned for revision at the reviewer's discretion, with no guarantee that resubmission will be permitted or that rewards will remain available.
Verification and Evidence
Verification of task completion may require Users to provide evidence demonstrating that required actions were actually taken. Evidence requirements vary by task type but commonly include screenshots showing completion of required actions with visible timestamps, URLs or links to publicly accessible content created for the task, blockchain transaction hashes demonstrating on-chain actions, attestations or confirmations from third parties where tasks involve interaction with others, video recordings demonstrating performance of required actions, or any other evidence sufficient to convince reviewers that requirements were genuinely satisfied. Users are responsible for preserving evidence of task completion and providing it promptly when requested. Failure to provide adequate evidence when requested results in submission rejection and forfeiture of associated rewards.
The Company reserves the right to request additional information, documentation, or clarification regarding any submission at any time before, during, or after the review process. Such requests may be made to clarify ambiguous aspects of submissions, to verify authenticity or originality, to confirm compliance with requirements, to assess quality more thoroughly, or for any other reason related to proper evaluation. Users must respond to such requests within the timeframe specified by the Company, typically seven (7) business days unless otherwise stated. Failure to respond timely and completely to information requests results in submission rejection and potential broader consequences if non-response suggests attempted fraud or violation.
Investigation and Ambiguity Resolution
Submissions may be subject to plagiarism detection tools, AI content detection systems, reverse image searches, blockchain analysis for verification of claimed transactions, comparison against other submissions to identify duplicates or near-duplicates, consultation with subject matter experts for quality assessment, or any other verification methodologies the Company employs. Users consent to such verification activities and agree to cooperate with any requests for clarification or additional information that arise from verification processes.
In cases where reviewers cannot definitively determine whether submissions meet standards due to ambiguity, borderline quality, or other factors, the Company errs on the side of protecting the integrity of the reward system and maintaining high standards. Benefit of the doubt is not extended to Users in ambiguous cases; rather, Users bear the burden of demonstrating clearly that their submissions satisfy all requirements and merit rewards. This approach prevents degradation of standards over time and ensures that rewards flow only to contributions that clearly add value.
4.5 Review Process, Appeals, and Final Determinations
Submitted Smart Tasks undergo review according to processes determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Review processes may vary based on task complexity, submission volume, available review resources, priority assignments based on reward amounts or strategic importance, and other operational factors. The Company provides no guarantee regarding review timelines, though reasonable efforts are made to process submissions within thirty (30) days under normal circumstances. Complex submissions or high submission volumes may result in substantially longer processing times, and Users acknowledge that extended waiting periods create no liability for the Company.
Review Outcomes
Review outcomes for submitted tasks include full approval with distribution of the full specified reward amount, partial approval with distribution of reduced rewards reflecting quality assessment or partial completion, conditional approval requiring revisions before reward distribution, rejection without reward distribution, or flagging for investigation if fraud or violations are suspected. The Company will endeavor to communicate review outcomes to Users through Platform notifications, email, or other means, though delivery failures or delays in notification do not affect the validity of review outcomes or extend appeal periods.
Full approval indicates that the submission meets all requirements, satisfies quality standards, provides value consistent with the task's purpose, and merits the full specified reward. Approved submissions proceed to reward distribution subject to any applicable vesting, verification, or other conditions. Partial approval occurs when submissions demonstrate effort and provide some value but fall short of full compliance with requirements or optimal quality standards. Partial rewards reflect the proportional value provided as assessed by reviewers in their professional judgment. Users receiving partial approval may or may not be offered an opportunity to revise and resubmit for consideration of additional rewards at the reviewer's discretion.
Conditional approval provides Users an opportunity to revise submissions to address specific deficiencies identified during review. Conditional approvals specify what changes are required for full approval and typically provide a deadline for resubmission, usually seven (7) to fourteen (14) days. Users who successfully revise and resubmit may receive full rewards if revised submissions satisfy all requirements, though the Company reserves the right to limit revisions to a single resubmission opportunity. Users who fail to resubmit within specified timeframes or whose revised submissions still fail to meet standards will have their submissions rejected with no reward distribution.
Rejection occurs when submissions fail to meet minimum standards, violate requirements, provide insufficient value, or otherwise do not merit rewards in the reviewer's assessment. Rejection notices may provide general feedback regarding deficiencies, though the Company is not obligated to provide detailed explanations for rejections and may simply indicate that submissions did not meet standards. Rejected submissions receive no rewards and generally cannot be revised and resubmitted unless the reviewer specifically offers that option, which is granted at the reviewer's sole discretion.
Flagging for investigation occurs when reviewers suspect fraud, plagiarism, automation, multi-account abuse, or other violations. Flagged submissions undergo enhanced scrutiny potentially including detailed comparison against other submissions and external sources, blockchain analysis of claimed transactions, consultation with specialized personnel or external experts, requests for substantial additional documentation or evidence, temporary Account restrictions during investigation, or any other investigative measures deemed necessary. Investigations may take substantial time, potentially exceeding sixty (60) days in complex cases, and Users must cooperate fully with information requests during investigations. Submissions ultimately found to involve violations result not only in rejection and reward forfeiture but potentially in Account termination and legal consequences.
Appeals Process
Users who disagree with review outcomes may submit appeals through proper channels established by the Company, typically by contacting support at team@xrpl.sale with detailed explanation of the basis for appeal within fourteen (14) days of notification of the review outcome. Appeals must be substantive and must explain specifically why the User believes the review outcome was incorrect, with supporting evidence or reasoning. Appeals that merely express dissatisfaction without substantive argument will be summarily rejected. The Company maintains sole discretion to accept or reject appeals and to determine what level of review appeals receive.
Appeals undergo review by personnel independent of the initial reviewer when practicable, allowing for fresh assessment of submissions and consideration of arguments raised in the appeal. However, appeal reviewers give deference to initial reviewers' determinations, particularly regarding subjective assessments of quality and value. Appeals are granted only when clear errors are identified in the initial review, when new evidence is presented that was unavailable during initial review, when arguments demonstrate that stated standards were misapplied, or when other compelling reasons exist to overturn the initial determination.
Appeal outcomes include affirmation of the original decision with no change in reward, modification of the decision with adjustment of reward upward or downward based on appeal review findings, or reversal of the decision resulting in approval of a previously rejected submission. Appeal decisions are final and binding with no further review available except in exceptional circumstances involving clear and substantial errors. Users are limited to one appeal per submission, and repeated or frivolous appeals may result in restrictions on future appeal rights or other consequences.
Discretion and Finality
The Company maintains absolute discretion in all aspects of Smart Task review, appeal, and reward determination. This discretion extends to interpretation of task requirements and quality standards, assessment of whether submissions meet requirements, evaluation of the value provided by submissions, determination of appropriate reward amounts within specified ranges, decisions regarding whether to offer revision opportunities, processing of appeals and determination of appeal outcomes, and all other aspects of Smart Task administration. Users may not challenge the Company's exercise of discretion through arbitration, litigation, or other means except in cases of fraud, bad faith, or gross abuse of discretion that results in violation of Users' legal rights.
All review decisions, including decisions to reject submissions, award partial rewards, or deny appeals, are made in good faith based on the Company's assessment of quality, compliance, and value. Users acknowledge that quality assessment inherently involves subjective judgment and that reasonable reviewers may reach different conclusions regarding the same submission. The Company's determinations are presumptively correct and Users bear the burden of demonstrating clear error to successfully appeal. The standard applied in appeal reviews favors upholding initial decisions absent compelling evidence of error.
Users waive any right to jury trial or class action participation regarding disputes related to Smart Task reviews, reward determinations, or appeal outcomes. Any disputes that cannot be resolved through the appeal process and that fall outside the scope of the Company's absolute discretion must be resolved through individual arbitration as provided in Section 12 of these Terms. Users acknowledge that bringing frivolous appeals or attempting to relitigate final determinations through repeated appeals, arbitration demands, or other means may result in sanctions including restriction or loss of appeal rights, Account suspension or termination, or liability for the Company's attorneys' fees and costs in defending against meritless claims.
4.6 Referral Program Structure and Anti-Abuse Provisions
The referral program incentivizes existing Users to invite new Users to join the Platform by providing Rewards based on referred Users' activity and engagement. Referral relationships are established when a new User creates an Account using a referral link, code, or mechanism provided by an existing User, thereby creating a permanent association between the referring User (referrer) and the referred User (referee) in the Platform's systems. This association enables the referrer to earn Rewards when the referee engages in qualifying activities on the Platform, subject to eligibility requirements, activity thresholds, and anti-abuse provisions.
Referral rewards are structured to incentivize quality referrals of Users who will genuinely engage with the Platform rather than incentivizing mass recruitment of disengaged or fake Users. Reward amounts, structures, and qualifying activities are determined by the Company in its sole discretion and may be modified at any time without notice. Typical referral reward structures include one-time bonuses when referred Users complete registration and initial verification steps, ongoing rewards based on a percentage of Rewards earned by referred Users through Smart Tasks or other activities, tiered rewards that increase as referred Users reach activity milestones, bonus rewards for referring Users who become highly engaged or valuable community members, or any other structure the Company determines will appropriately incentivize quality referrals.
Eligibility to participate in the referral program may be restricted based on Account status, with restrictions potentially applying to newly created Accounts that have not yet demonstrated genuine engagement, Accounts with low reputation scores or poor standing, Accounts that have previously violated referral program rules, unverified Accounts that have not completed identity or wallet verification, or Accounts in certain geographic regions where referral programs raise legal concerns. The Company may impose restrictions on referral program participation at any time for any reason, and such restrictions create no liability or entitlement to compensation.
Limits on referral rewards protect the sustainability of the referral program and prevent abuse. Such limits may include maximum numbers of valid referrals that count toward rewards during specified time periods, maximum total reward amounts payable to individual referrers during specified periods, minimum activity thresholds that referred Users must meet before referrers earn rewards, time limitations on how long referral relationships remain active for reward purposes, or any other limits the Company deems necessary. These limits may be adjusted at any time, and Users acknowledge that limits may be imposed or tightened in response to abuse patterns or budget constraints.
Referred Users must be real individuals who genuinely use the Platform rather than fake accounts created to farm referral rewards. This requirement is fundamental to the referral program's integrity and purpose. Referrers must only invite individuals who they reasonably believe will have legitimate interest in using the Platform and must not engage in mass, indiscriminate outreach designed merely to maximize referral numbers without regard to quality or likelihood of genuine engagement. Referrers are responsible for ensuring that referred Users understand the Platform's purpose and have legitimate reasons for creating Accounts beyond merely benefiting the referrer through referral rewards.
Self-referral through creation of alternate Accounts is absolutely prohibited under all circumstances and constitutes one of the most serious violations of these Terms. Creating additional Accounts and then referring those Accounts to your primary Account, or creating circular referral arrangements between your own Accounts, is fraud that steals from the referral reward pool intended to incentivize organic growth. Self-referral violations result in immediate permanent termination of all associated Accounts, forfeiture of all Rewards across all Accounts, clawback of previously distributed referral rewards to the extent feasible, and potential legal action for fraud and unjust enrichment.
Coordinated referral schemes involving multiple Users who agree to refer each other's alternate Accounts or who create circular referral structures designed to generate referral rewards without bringing genuine new Users to the Platform are strictly prohibited. Such schemes constitute conspiracy to defraud the Platform and will result in permanent bans for all participants, forfeiture and clawback of all rewards obtained through the scheme, and potential legal action. The Company employs sophisticated analysis to detect referral networks with suspicious circular or coordinated patterns, and Users should not assume that complex schemes will avoid detection.
Paying individuals to sign up using your referral link without genuine interest in using the Platform constitutes abuse of the referral program. While it is permissible to mention to genuine prospects that referral benefits exist, offering payment or other incentives specifically for signing up rather than for genuine Platform usage transforms the relationship from legitimate referral to paid user acquisition that unfairly draws from the referral reward pool. Referral farms or incentive services that offer users payment for signing up to various platforms using referral links are prohibited, and referrers who use such services face immediate Account termination.
Spam, unsolicited mass messaging, or aggressive promotion tactics to generate referrals violate these Terms and potentially applicable anti-spam laws. Referrers must comply with all applicable laws regarding electronic communications, including CAN-SPAM in the United States and GDPR requirements in the European Union. Referrers may share referral links through appropriate channels including their own social media accounts when done in compliance with platform policies, their own websites or blogs when relevant to content, direct communications with individuals who have consented to receive such communications, or any other channels where the referrer has legitimate presence and permission to communicate. Referrers may not send unsolicited bulk emails, make unsolicited posts in unrelated forums or communities, create fake accounts on other platforms solely to spam referral links, employ deceptive tactics to trick individuals into clicking referral links, or engage in any other form of aggressive or spammy promotion.
Misrepresentation of the Platform, its features, potential rewards, or any other material information in connection with referral activities is prohibited and may constitute fraud. Referrers must provide accurate information about what the Platform does, what Users can reasonably expect from participation, what commitments are required, what risks exist, and all other material facts. Referrers may not make promises regarding rewards that are not guaranteed, make false claims about the Platform's capabilities or backing, misrepresent the level of effort required or expected returns, conceal risks or downsides, or otherwise deceive prospects in ways that induce them to create Accounts under false pretenses.
Referral rewards are subject to verification that referred Users are genuine, active participants rather than fake accounts created solely to benefit the referrer. Verification processes include analysis of referred Users' activity patterns to identify abnormally low engagement suggesting fake accounts, comparison of referred Users' device fingerprints, IP addresses, and other technical identifiers to detect clustering suggesting common control, monitoring of wallet funding sources to identify referred Users funded from the same sources as the referrer, analysis of behavioral patterns to detect similarities suggesting common control or coordination, communication pattern analysis to identify referred Users who never engage organically with the Platform, and any other verification methodologies the Company employs.
Referred Users who appear to be fake, inactive, or created solely for referral farming purposes will be excluded from referral reward calculations, potentially retroactively. If patterns suggest systematic creation of fake referred accounts, all referral rewards associated with the referrer's activity will be frozen pending investigation, and confirmed violations will result in complete forfeiture of all referral rewards past and future plus Account termination. The Company may employ machine learning models trained to identify referral fraud patterns, and such models' determinations are presumptively correct with the burden on Users to demonstrate error.
Referrers bear responsibility for educating referred Users about these Terms and ensuring that referred Users understand their obligations. Referrers may not encourage or assist referred Users in violating these Terms, including violations of multi-account policies, Smart Task rules, or any other provisions. If referred Users engage in violations and evidence suggests that the referrer encouraged, facilitated, or benefited from such violations, the referrer may be held accountable with consequences including forfeiture of referral rewards derived from that User's activity, suspension or termination of referral program participation privileges, or broader Account consequences if violations are severe.
The Company reserves the right to terminate or modify the referral program at any time, to change reward structures retroactively in cases of abuse, to exclude specific Users from participation without explanation, to impose additional requirements or restrictions, or to take any other actions deemed necessary to maintain program integrity. Changes may be implemented immediately without advance notice and apply to future reward calculations without affecting previously distributed rewards unless clawback provisions apply. Users have no vested rights in the continuation of the referral program or in any particular reward structure.
4.7 Company Rights to Modify, Suspend, or Terminate Reward Programs
The Company maintains comprehensive rights to modify, suspend, or terminate any aspect of the Smart Tasks system, referral program, or other reward mechanisms at any time, in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason, with no liability to Users who anticipated continued availability of programs or particular reward structures. These rights are essential to the Company's ability to manage Platform economics, respond to abuse, comply with legal requirements, and adapt to changing circumstances.
Modifications to reward structures may include changes to the tasks available, which tasks may be added, removed, or modified at the Company's discretion without notice. Task requirements, quality standards, or verification procedures may be tightened or loosened based on experience and needs. Reward amounts may be increased or decreased for existing or future tasks based on budget constraints, market conditions, or strategic priorities. Reward denominations may be changed from one token to another or from tokens to other forms of value. Eligibility criteria may be modified to restrict or expand the population eligible for tasks or programs. Vesting schedules, holding periods, or distribution timing may be implemented or modified.
Such modifications may be applied retroactively in limited circumstances, particularly where fraud or abuse is discovered. If Users obtained rewards through violations that were not detected initially, the Company may apply modified rules retroactively to forfeit such rewards or demand their return. If reward amounts were set based on assumptions later proven incorrect, the Company may adjust calculations retroactively and recover overpayments. However, modifications affecting Users who have complied in good faith will generally apply prospectively rather than retroactively absent compelling circumstances.
Suspension of reward programs or specific tasks may occur temporarily during investigations of abuse, while technical issues affecting task functionality are resolved, when budget exhaustion requires temporary halt in distributions, while legal or regulatory concerns are assessed and addressed, or for any other operational reason. Suspended programs may resume at the Company's discretion with modified terms or may be terminated permanently. Suspension does not entitle Users to compensation for lost opportunities, and Users cannot compel resumption of suspended programs.
Termination of reward programs may be permanent, with discontinued programs never resuming. Termination may occur if programs prove unsustainable economically, if abuse becomes too widespread to manage effectively, if legal or regulatory requirements make continued operation risky or impossible, if programs fail to achieve intended objectives, if budget constraints require reallocation of resources, if market conditions make continued operation imprudent, or for any other reason in the Company's business judgment. Upon termination, pending rewards may be distributed, forfeited, or handled in whatever manner the Company determines is appropriate under the circumstances.
Users have no contractual right, vested interest, or reasonable expectation in the continuation of any reward program or in the availability of any particular tasks, reward amounts, or structures. Participation in reward programs is entirely at the Company's discretion and pleasure, and the Company's decision to offer rewards in the past creates no obligation to continue offering rewards in the future. Users acknowledge that reward opportunities may be modified or withdrawn at any time and agree that such changes create no liability for lost expectations or opportunities.
Changes to reward programs may be communicated through various channels including announcements on the Platform, email notifications to Account holders, updates to Smart Task descriptions or program documentation, modification of these Terms as provided in Section 14, or any other means deemed appropriate. However, the Company is not obligated to provide advance notice of changes and may implement changes immediately. Users bear responsibility for staying informed about current program terms and for recognizing that conditions may change without warning.
Notwithstanding the Company's broad rights to modify programs, the Company acknowledges that Users invest time and effort in completing tasks with expectations of receiving specified rewards. Accordingly, the Company commits to exercising its modification rights reasonably and in good faith, avoiding arbitrary or capricious changes designed solely to avoid reward obligations for completed work. However, Users acknowledge that business, economic, legal, and operational circumstances may require changes that negatively impact Users, and the Company's good faith exercise of modification rights creates no liability even if Users are disappointed or harmed by changes.
The Company's rights to modify programs extend to implementing measures necessary to maintain program integrity and prevent abuse even if such measures inconvenience compliant Users. Examples include implementing more stringent verification requirements that delay reward distribution, reducing reward amounts to extend program sustainability, restricting access to programs to exclude higher-risk user populations, implementing claim limits or cooling-off periods, requiring additional documentation or identity verification, or any other measures deemed necessary. Compliant Users may be affected by anti-abuse measures designed to address others' violations, and such collateral effects create no liability or entitlement to compensation.
5.1 Non-Custodial Architecture and User Responsibility
The Platform operates on a fundamentally non-custodial architecture, which constitutes a core principle of the Platform's design and a foundational element of the relationship between the Company and Users. Non-custodial architecture means that at no time does the Company take possession of, custody of, control over, or responsibility for Users' digital assets, Private Keys, cryptocurrency holdings, or blockchain-based tokens. Users maintain exclusive control over their XRPL Wallets and the Private Keys that govern access to those Wallets at all times, without exception, interruption, or qualification.
This non-custodial structure fundamentally differentiates the Platform from custodial services such as centralized exchanges, banks, brokerages, or other financial intermediaries that hold customer assets. The Company does not operate as a custodian, trustee, fiduciary, bailee, agent, or in any other capacity that would involve holding, managing, investing, or otherwise controlling Users' assets on their behalf. The Platform's role is strictly limited to providing software interfaces, information services, and technological infrastructure that enable Users to interact with the XRPL blockchain and with Projects listed on the Platform, while Users themselves maintain complete control over their assets through their self-custodied Wallets.
Users acknowledge and accept that the non-custodial nature of the Platform places the full burden of security, management, backup, recovery, and protection of Private Keys and digital assets squarely and exclusively on the User. The Company has no ability to access Users' Wallets, cannot view or control Private Keys, cannot reverse transactions conducted from Users' Wallets, cannot recover lost or stolen assets, cannot reset or recover forgotten passwords or seed phrases, and cannot provide assistance in recovering access to Wallets for which Users have lost their Private Keys or seed phrases. These limitations are not deficiencies in the Platform's design but rather are fundamental features of the non-custodial architecture that protect Users' sovereignty and ensure that the Company never has the technical capability to access or control Users' assets.
Users represent and warrant that they understand the implications of the non-custodial architecture and specifically acknowledge that if they lose access to their Private Keys or seed phrases, whether through loss, theft, destruction, forgetting, compromise, or any other means, they will permanently and irrevocably lose access to any digital assets held in the associated Wallet, and neither the Company nor any other party will have the technical capability to recover those assets. Users further acknowledge that the Company provides no warranty, guarantee, or assurance regarding the security, recoverability, or accessibility of Users' Wallets or Private Keys, and that Users assume all risks associated with maintaining custody of their own digital assets.
The Company strongly recommends that Users follow industry-standard best practices for securing Private Keys and seed phrases, including but not limited to storing backup copies of seed phrases in secure physical locations separate from digital devices, using hardware wallets for significant asset holdings, implementing multi-signature wallet configurations where appropriate, avoiding storage of Private Keys on internet-connected devices, never sharing Private Keys or seed phrases with any person or entity under any circumstances, and regularly reviewing and updating security practices. Users acknowledge that failure to follow proper security practices may result in total loss of assets, and that such losses fall entirely outside the Company's responsibility or ability to remediate.
5.2 Wallet Connection and Authentication
Connecting an XRPL Wallet to the Platform is an optional but necessary step for accessing certain Platform features including but not limited to participating in token presales, claiming certain types of Rewards, listing Projects, completing certain Smart Tasks that require blockchain verification, and accessing advanced Platform functionality. Wallet connection is accomplished through integration with third-party Wallet providers including but not limited to Xaman (formerly known as XUMM), Crossmark, GemWallet, Ledger hardware wallets, and other XRPL-compatible Wallet applications. The Company does not develop, maintain, operate, or control these Wallet applications, which are Third-Party Services subject to their own terms of service, privacy policies, and security practices.
The wallet connection process utilizes industry-standard authentication mechanisms designed to verify Users' ownership of XRPL addresses without requiring Users to expose their Private Keys to the Platform or to transmit Private Keys through any communication channel. Specifically, the Platform employs signature-based authentication wherein Users are presented with a challenge message that they sign using their Wallet's private key signing functionality, with the resulting signature transmitted to the Platform for verification. This signature proves that the User possesses the Private Key associated with a particular XRPL address without revealing the Private Key itself, establishing a cryptographic proof of ownership that enables the Platform to associate the XRPL address with the User's Account.
For mobile Wallet connections, particularly with Xaman, the Platform utilizes deep-link technology and QR code scanning to facilitate seamless authentication flows. When a User initiates a Wallet connection, the Platform generates a unique authentication request and presents it as a QR code that Users scan with their Xaman application, or as a deep link that opens the Xaman application directly when accessed from a mobile device on which Xaman is installed. The Xaman application then prompts the User to review and approve the authentication request by signing it with their Private Key. Upon User approval, Xaman transmits the signed authentication payload back to the Platform through secure channels, and the Platform verifies the signature's authenticity before establishing the connection between the User's Account and the XRPL address.
Users acknowledge and agree that the wallet connection process relies on proper functioning of Third-Party Wallet applications, and that issues with Wallet applications, including but not limited to bugs, security vulnerabilities, service interruptions, incompatible versions, or changes to Wallet application functionality, may prevent successful wallet connection or cause connection failures. The Company makes commercially reasonable efforts to maintain compatibility with popular XRPL Wallet applications but cannot guarantee compatibility with all Wallets at all times and bears no responsibility for connection failures attributable to Third-Party Wallet applications.
When connecting Wallets, Users grant the Platform read-only access to view the public blockchain data associated with their XRPL addresses, including transaction history, token holdings, trustline configurations, and other publicly available on-chain information. This read-only access enables the Platform to display Users' balances, verify completion of certain Smart Tasks that require Ledger activity, determine eligibility for certain features or Rewards, and provide personalized Platform experiences based on Users' on-chain activities. Users explicitly consent to this read-only access as a necessary component of Platform functionality and acknowledge that all information accessed by the Platform is already publicly available on the XRPL blockchain and viewable by anyone with access to blockchain explorers or direct blockchain queries.
Critically, Wallet connection does not and cannot grant the Platform any ability to initiate transactions from Users' Wallets, transfer assets out of Users' Wallets, or take any actions that would modify the state of Users' Wallets without Users' explicit transaction-by-transaction authorization through their Wallet applications. Every transaction that affects a User's Wallet, including but not limited to sending XRP or other tokens, establishing or removing trustlines, modifying account settings, or any other state-changing operation, must be individually authorized by the User through their Wallet application's transaction signing interface. The Platform can only request that Users authorize specific transactions; the Platform can never execute transactions on Users' behalf without their explicit approval for each individual transaction.
Users may connect multiple Wallets to a single Account, with each Wallet connection established through the same authentication process described above. Users may designate a primary Wallet for purposes of receiving certain Rewards or for display purposes on their public profile. Users may disconnect Wallets from their Accounts at any time through Account settings, which removes the association between the XRPL address and the Account but does not affect the Wallet itself or any assets held therein. Disconnecting a Wallet may result in loss of access to certain Platform features that require a connected Wallet, forfeiture of pending Rewards that were to be distributed to that Wallet, and inability to complete certain Smart Tasks that require blockchain verification.
5.3 Blockchain Transactions: Irreversibility and User Responsibility
Blockchain transactions conducted on the XRPL network, including transactions initiated through the Platform's interface or in connection with Platform activities, are irreversible, immutable, and final once confirmed on the blockchain. This irreversibility is a fundamental characteristic of blockchain technology and distributed ledger systems, not a limitation or deficiency of the Platform. Once a transaction is confirmed on the XRPL blockchain, typically within three to five seconds under normal network conditions, it becomes part of the permanent blockchain record and cannot be reversed, canceled, modified, recalled, or undone by anyone, including the User who initiated the transaction, the Company, XRPL network validators, or any other party regardless of their technical capabilities or authority.
Users bear sole and exclusive responsibility for ensuring the accuracy, appropriateness, and correctness of all transactions they initiate. This responsibility encompasses verifying recipient addresses before sending transactions, confirming the correct amounts of XRP or tokens being sent, including appropriate destination tags when required by recipients, ensuring sufficient XRP balance to cover transaction fees, understanding the implications and effects of transactions before authorizing them, and taking all necessary precautions to avoid errors that could result in loss of funds. The Company provides user interface elements and confirmation prompts designed to help Users review transactions before authorization, but these interface elements are provided as convenience features only and do not shift responsibility for transaction accuracy from Users to the Company.
Common transaction errors that result in permanent loss of funds include but are not limited to sending assets to incorrect addresses, omitting required destination tags, sending assets to addresses that do not support the specific token being sent, sending assets to smart contract addresses not designed to handle such assets, exceeding the intended transaction amount through input errors, and initiating transactions during periods of network congestion when transaction ordering or timing may be unpredictable. Users acknowledge that any such errors are entirely the User's responsibility and that recovery of funds lost due to transaction errors is typically impossible.
The Company is not responsible for and cannot be held liable for any losses resulting from transaction errors, regardless of the cause of the error or the circumstances surrounding it. This limitation of liability applies even if errors are facilitated by Platform interface elements, caused by confusing or unclear Platform instructions or displays, result from Platform bugs or malfunctions, occur due to User confusion or misunderstanding of Platform functionality, or happen under circumstances where the Company arguably could have prevented the error through different design choices. The Company makes reasonable efforts to provide clear transaction interfaces and confirmation prompts, but Users remain solely responsible for verifying transaction details and ensuring correctness before authorization.
When Platform functionality involves requesting Users to authorize blockchain transactions, such requests are strictly advisory and informational in nature. The Platform may suggest specific transaction parameters such as amounts, recipient addresses, or destination tags based on the User's intended Platform activities, but Users must independently verify that suggested parameters are correct and appropriate before authorizing transactions. Users should not blindly trust transaction parameters suggested by any interface, including the Platform's interface, and should independently verify critical details using blockchain explorers, the official XRPL documentation, or other authoritative sources when dealing with significant amounts or unfamiliar transaction types.
Blockchain transactions require payment of network transaction fees, denominated in XRP, that are burned by the XRPL network as a spam prevention mechanism. These fees are separate from and in addition to any fees charged by the Company for Platform services. Transaction fees vary based on network conditions, with fees increasing during periods of high network congestion and decreasing during periods of low activity. Users are responsible for ensuring their Wallets contain sufficient XRP to cover transaction fees for all transactions they wish to conduct. Failed transactions due to insufficient fees may still result in partial fee consumption, with Users losing the failed transaction fee without achieving the intended transaction outcome.
5.4 XRPL Network Characteristics, Limitations, and Risks
The XRPL blockchain is a third-party decentralized network that operates independently of the Company and over which the Company exercises no control, influence, or authority whatsoever. The Company does not operate XRPL network validators, does not participate in XRPL network consensus, does not have any special status or privileges on the XRPL network, and cannot influence transaction processing, block production, network rules, or any other aspect of XRPL network operations. The Platform's functionality depends on the proper, continued operation of the XRPL network, but the Company makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding XRPL network availability, reliability, performance, security, or any other characteristics.
The XRPL network has specific technical characteristics and limitations that affect Users' ability to use the Platform and interact with digital assets. Users acknowledge and accept these characteristics and limitations as inherent aspects of building on a public blockchain network. The account reserve requirement mandates that every XRPL account must maintain a minimum balance of XRP that cannot be spent without closing the account, currently set at ten (10) XRP for the base account reserve and two (2) XRP for each object owned by the account such as trustlines, with these reserve requirements subject to change through network governance processes. This reserve requirement means that Users cannot reduce their XRP balance below the required reserve amount while maintaining an active account, and that establishing trustlines for tokens (which is necessary to hold most XRPL tokens including XSALE) increases the reserve requirement by two (2) XRP per trustline.
Transaction throughput limitations on the XRPL network mean that during periods of extremely high demand, the network may become congested, resulting in higher transaction fees, slower transaction confirmation times, or in extreme cases, transaction failures due to insufficient fees. While the XRPL network is designed to handle significantly higher transaction volumes than many other blockchain networks and typically confirms transactions within three (3) to five (5) seconds, Users acknowledge that these performance characteristics are not guaranteed and that network congestion can occur. The Company has no ability to prioritize Users' transactions, guarantee transaction confirmation times, or otherwise influence transaction processing beyond the normal mechanisms available to all XRPL network participants.
The deterministic transaction ordering on XRPL means that transactions are processed in the order they appear in validated ledgers, which may differ from the order in which Users submitted transactions. In competitive scenarios such as limited token sales or time-sensitive trading opportunities, transaction ordering can significantly affect outcomes, with earlier transactions potentially consuming limited availability before later transactions can be processed. Users acknowledge that the Company cannot guarantee any particular transaction ordering and that timing-sensitive opportunities may be missed due to transaction ordering beyond anyone's control.
Network upgrades and amendments to the XRPL protocol occur periodically through the network's amendment process, whereby validator consensus determines whether to activate proposed changes to network rules and functionality. Such amendments can introduce new features, modify existing behavior, change fee structures, alter reserve requirements, or make other fundamental changes to how the network operates. The Company monitors XRPL network development but cannot control or prevent network upgrades and makes no guarantees regarding backward compatibility, continued operation of Platform features following network upgrades, or mitigation of adverse effects from network changes. Users acknowledge that their use of the Platform and their XRPL assets are subject to changes in the underlying XRPL network that may affect functionality, costs, or asset characteristics in ways neither Users nor the Company can control.
Security risks inherent in all blockchain networks also apply to XRPL, including theoretical risks of 51% attacks, consensus failures, cryptographic vulnerabilities, protocol bugs, or other security issues that could compromise network integrity, enable theft or loss of assets, or disrupt network operations. While the XRPL network has operated securely since its inception and employs robust consensus mechanisms designed to resist such attacks, Users acknowledge that no blockchain network is perfectly secure and that undiscovered vulnerabilities or unprecedented attack vectors may exist. The Company monitors XRPL network security to the extent publicly visible but has no special insight into network security beyond what is available to any network participant and cannot prevent or mitigate security incidents affecting the underlying blockchain.
Fork risks, while less applicable to XRPL's consensus mechanism compared to proof-of-work blockchains, nonetheless exist in theoretical scenarios where network validators might disagree about protocol rules, leading to chain splits or inconsistent ledger states. In the unlikely event of a significant XRPL network fork, the Company would assess the situation and determine which chain to recognize for Platform purposes, but such determinations would necessarily involve judgment calls that might disadvantage some Users. Users acknowledge that fork scenarios could result in asset loss, duplication of assets across incompatible chains, temporary loss of Platform functionality, or other unpredictable outcomes, and that the Company's handling of fork scenarios, while made in good faith, creates no liability for any losses Users may incur.
5.5 Trustlines, Token Reserves, and XRPL Token Mechanics
The XRPL network's trustline system is a fundamental technical mechanism that Users must understand and interact with to hold tokens issued on XRPL, including XSALE and most other XRPL-based tokens except for XRP itself. A trustline is a bilateral relationship between two XRPL accounts wherein one account (the trustor) explicitly grants permission to accept and hold tokens issued by another account (the issuer), up to a specified maximum amount. Establishing a trustline is a prerequisite for receiving and holding XRPL-issued tokens; without an appropriate trustline, Users cannot receive tokens even if senders attempt to transmit them.
Creating a trustline requires Users to submit a trustline creation transaction from their XRPL Wallet, which involves specifying the token currency code (for XSALE, this would be the designated currency code associated with the XSALE issuer address), the issuer address from which tokens will be accepted, and the maximum amount of the token the User is willing to hold (often set to a very high number effectively representing unlimited acceptance). This transaction must be signed by the User's Wallet and consumes a transaction fee, typically a very small fraction of one XRP. Critically, establishing a trustline increases the User's XRPL account reserve requirement by two (2) XRP, which means two additional XRP become locked in the User's account reserve and cannot be spent without removing the trustline.
Users must establish a trustline to the XSALE issuer address before they can receive XSALE tokens from the Platform, whether through participation in presales, as Rewards, through referral bonuses, or through any other mechanism. The Company provides clear instructions and user interface elements to guide Users through the trustline establishment process, but Users bear sole responsibility for successfully establishing required trustlines and for understanding the implications including the reserve requirement increase. If Users attempt to participate in activities that would result in XSALE token distribution without having established the required trustline, the Platform may reject the participation, delay Reward distribution until the trustline is established, or in some cases allow participation but inform Users that tokens cannot be distributed until they establish the trustline.
The two (2) XRP reserve per trustline is held by the XRPL network, not by the Company, and cannot be accessed or utilized by the Company for any purpose. This reserve can be reclaimed by Users if they remove the trustline, but removing a trustline requires first reducing the token balance to zero, as trustlines cannot be removed while they hold any amount of the associated token. Users planning to hold XSALE or other XRPL tokens must therefore account for the reserve requirement in their XRP holdings, ensuring they maintain sufficient XRP to meet both the base account reserve and the additional reserve for any trustlines they establish.
Token behavior on XRPL differs in important ways from tokens on other blockchain networks such as Ethereum. XRPL tokens exist as balances within the trustline relationship rather than as separately tracked smart contract states. Token transfers on XRPL do not invoke complex smart contract execution but rather involve straightforward balance updates within existing trustlines, which generally makes XRPL token transfers faster and less expensive than comparable operations on networks requiring smart contract execution. However, this architecture also means that certain features common on other networks, such as complex token logic, programmable token behavior, or automatic execution of token-related actions, are not natively supported by XRPL's token system.
XRPL implements global freeze and individual freeze capabilities that issuers can employ under certain circumstances. Global freeze, when enabled by an issuer, prevents all holders of that issuer's tokens from transferring the tokens to anyone except back to the issuer. Individual freeze allows an issuer to freeze a specific trustline, preventing that particular holder from transferring tokens to anyone except back to the issuer. These freeze mechanisms are designed for regulatory compliance, emergency responses to theft or fraud, and other legitimate purposes, but they also represent a form of issuer control over token transferability that Users should understand. While the Company does not anticipate routine use of freeze mechanisms for XSALE, Users acknowledge that such mechanisms exist and could be employed in extraordinary circumstances such as regulatory requirements, court orders, discovery of security vulnerabilities, or responses to theft or fraud affecting significant portions of the token supply.
Token issuers on XRPL, including the issuer of XSALE, may implement various policies regarding their tokens including requirements for Know Your Customer (KYC) verification before allowing trustlines, restrictions on which accounts may hold the token, limitations on transfer destinations, or other controls enabled through the XRPL protocol. Users acknowledge that such policies are set by token issuers, not by the Platform, and that the Company's ability to distribute tokens to Users is subject to any restrictions imposed by token issuers. If token issuer policies prevent distribution to particular Users, the Company may be unable to fulfill promised distributions and may substitute alternative forms of value or modify Reward structures to accommodate issuer restrictions.
5.6 Transaction Fees, Network Costs, and Economic Considerations
Users bear sole responsibility for all transaction fees, network costs, and economic expenses associated with their blockchain interactions, whether those interactions are initiated through the Platform's interface, performed independently in Users' Wallets, or conducted through any other means. The Company does not subsidize, reimburse, or cover Users' transaction fees under any circumstances unless explicitly stated otherwise in promotional materials for specific limited-time programs. Transaction fees and network costs are entirely separate from and in addition to any fees the Company may charge for Platform services.
XRPL transaction fees, while typically very small compared to transaction fees on networks like Ethereum or Bitcoin, are nonetheless required for every transaction and are burned by the network rather than paid to any recipient. The standard transaction fee on XRPL is measured in drops, with one drop equaling 0.000001 XRP, and a typical transaction fee being ten (10) to twelve (12) drops (0.00001 to 0.000012 XRP) under normal network conditions. During periods of network congestion, fees may increase substantially to ensure transaction prioritization, potentially reaching hundreds or thousands of drops for high-priority transactions. Users submitting transactions during congested periods must either pay increased fees for timely processing or risk delayed processing or transaction failure.
The economic cost of establishing and maintaining trustlines includes not only the transaction fee for the trustline creation transaction but also the two (2) XRP reserve per trustline that becomes locked in the User's account. For Users establishing multiple trustlines to hold various tokens, reserve costs can accumulate to significant amounts. Users should carefully consider whether they truly need trustlines for particular tokens before establishing them, as premature or unnecessary trustline establishment unnecessarily locks XRP that could otherwise be used for transactions or transferred out of the account.
Price volatility of XRP affects the real economic cost of XRPL network usage, as transaction fees and reserves are denominated in XRP regardless of XRP's market value against fiat currencies or other cryptocurrencies. If XRP appreciates significantly against fiat, the dollar-equivalent cost of transaction fees and reserves increases correspondingly. Users acknowledge this currency risk and accept that network cost in fiat terms may vary substantially based on market conditions entirely beyond the Company's control.
Certain Platform features or Smart Tasks may require Users to conduct multiple sequential transactions, with each transaction incurring its own fee. For example, participating in a token presale might require establishing a trustline (first transaction and fee), sending XRP to a designated address (second transaction and fee), and potentially additional transactions depending on the presale structure. Users should account for cumulative transaction costs when determining economic viability of Platform participation, particularly for activities involving small amounts where transaction costs may represent a significant percentage of total value.
The Company provides estimates of required transaction fees within Platform interfaces when requesting Users to authorize transactions, but these estimates are informational only and may not reflect actual fees required for successful transaction processing, particularly during periods of network volatility or congestion. Users should independently verify appropriate fee levels through XRPL blockchain explorers, direct network queries, or other authoritative sources if conducting high-value or time-sensitive transactions. The Company is not responsible for transactions that fail due to insufficient fees or that experience delayed processing due to Users specifying fees below levels required for timely processing.
5.7 Smart Contracts, Escrows, and Programmatic Features
While the XRPL network provides certain programmable features including payment channels, escrow mechanisms, and conditional payments, these features function differently from "smart contracts" on networks like Ethereum and should not be confused with the complex arbitrary-code-execution smart contracts available on other platforms. XRPL's programmable features are more limited in scope, typically focused on specific use cases like time-locked payments or conditional fund releases, rather than enabling arbitrary programmable logic.
The Platform may utilize XRPL's escrow features for certain purposes including time-locked token distributions, conditional Reward releases, presale fund management, or other applications where funds need to be held under specific conditions before release. When the Company utilizes escrow mechanisms, it does so to provide additional security and transparency, but Users acknowledge that escrow smart contracts, like all code, may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or unexpected behaviors that could result in fund loss, inability to release funds as intended, or other adverse outcomes.
Users interacting with escrow mechanisms or other XRPL programmable features must understand the specific conditions under which escrowed funds will be released, including timing conditions, cryptographic conditions, or any other release criteria. The Company provides documentation of escrow terms and conditions but cannot guarantee that Users will fully understand complex escrow logic or that escrows will function exactly as intended in all scenarios. If escrowed funds become permanently locked due to an unsatisfiable condition, an error in escrow logic, a bug in the XRPL network's escrow implementation, or any other reason, the Company may be unable to recover such funds, resulting in total loss.
The immutability of blockchain means that escrow conditions, once established on-chain, generally cannot be modified even if mistakes are discovered or circumstances change in ways that make original conditions inappropriate. Users acknowledge this immutability and accept that escrowed funds may remain locked for longer than anticipated or may become permanently unrecoverable if release conditions cannot be satisfied. The Company will make reasonable efforts to design escrow conditions carefully and to test escrow functionality before deploying it with significant funds, but the Company does not warrant or guarantee perfect escrow design or functionality.
Payment channels, another XRPL programmable feature, enable off-chain transactions with on-chain settlement, potentially useful for high-frequency, low-value payments or streaming payment applications. If the Platform implements payment channel functionality for any purpose, Users acknowledge that payment channels involve complex state management, require careful tracking of channel balances and claims, and may result in fund loss if channels are not properly closed or if disputes are not resolved according to channel terms. The Company provides documentation of payment channel usage but does not warrant that Users will correctly manage payment channel state or successfully claim all funds owed through payment channels.
Any references in Platform documentation or interfaces to "smart contracts" in the context of XRPL should be understood to refer to XRPL's native programmable features as described above, not to arbitrary-code-execution smart contracts as found on Ethereum-like platforms. If the Platform integrates with actual smart contract platforms in the future, whether through bridges, wrapped assets, or other mechanisms, the Company will provide specific disclosures regarding the risks and characteristics of such integrations, but Users should understand that true smart contract platforms introduce additional complexity, risk, and potential for catastrophic failure beyond what exists in XRPL's simpler programmable features.
5.8 Third-Party Blockchain Services and Dependencies
The Platform's blockchain functionality depends on various Third-Party Services including Wallet providers, blockchain infrastructure providers, blockchain explorers, and other services that facilitate interaction with the XRPL network. These dependencies are necessary for the Platform to function but also introduce risks and potential points of failure beyond the Company's control.
Wallet providers such as Xaman (XUMM), Crossmark, and GemWallet are entirely independent Third-Party Services developed and operated by organizations unrelated to the Company. These Wallet applications may contain bugs, security vulnerabilities, or design flaws that could result in loss of Users' funds or inability to access funds. Wallet providers may discontinue their services, change their terms of service, modify their software in ways that break Platform compatibility, or experience service outages that prevent Users from accessing their Wallets or authorizing transactions. The Company monitors Wallet provider status and makes reasonable efforts to maintain compatibility with popular Wallets, but the Company cannot guarantee continuous compatibility or availability of any particular Wallet and bears no responsibility for Wallet provider failures, security breaches, or service discontinuations.
Blockchain infrastructure providers that the Company may utilize for accessing XRPL network data include public XRPL nodes, commercial XRPL API services, and blockchain explorers. These services provide the Platform with real-time blockchain data, transaction submission capabilities, and other infrastructure necessary for Platform operation. Outages, malfunctions, data inconsistencies, or security breaches affecting these providers may temporarily prevent the Platform from accessing accurate blockchain data, submitting transactions on Users' behalf (when explicitly authorized), or providing certain Platform features. The Company may switch between infrastructure providers or operate its own XRPL nodes to reduce dependency on any single provider, but some level of dependency on external infrastructure is inherent in blockchain-based applications.
Blockchain explorers such as XRPScan, Bithomp, and others provide user-friendly interfaces for viewing blockchain data and are often linked from Platform interfaces to allow Users to verify transaction details independently. While blockchain explorers are useful tools, they are Third-Party Services that may display incorrect information, experience outages, or present data in ways that Users misunderstand. Users should not rely exclusively on any single blockchain explorer and should cross-reference important information across multiple explorers or by querying the XRPL network directly through trusted nodes.
API services that provide exchange rate information, token price data, or other market data used by the Platform are Third-Party Services whose accuracy, timeliness, and continued availability the Company cannot guarantee. Price information displayed on the Platform is for informational purposes only, may be delayed or inaccurate, and should not be relied upon for making investment decisions. Users should consult multiple authoritative sources for current market prices and should understand that blockchain transactions lock in prices at execution time regardless of what price information was displayed in Platform interfaces prior to execution.
The aggregate effect of these dependencies is that Platform functionality and availability are subject to the proper functioning of multiple Third-Party Services, any one of which could experience failures, outages, or security incidents that disrupt Platform operations. The Company maintains reasonable redundancy and failover capabilities where technically feasible and economically practical, but the Company cannot eliminate all single points of failure or guarantee continuous Platform availability in the face of Third-Party Service disruptions. Users acknowledge these dependencies and accept that temporary or extended Platform outages may occur due to Third-Party Service issues beyond the Company's control, and that such outages create no liability for the Company and do not entitle Users to refunds, compensation, or other remedies.
5.9 Blockchain Forks, Network Splits, and Protocol Governance
Although the XRPL network utilizes a consensus protocol designed to prevent blockchain forks and maintain a single canonical ledger state, Users acknowledge that theoretical scenarios exist under which the XRPL network could experience chain splits, consensus failures, or other events that result in multiple incompatible versions of the blockchain existing simultaneously. Such events, while considered unlikely given XRPL's consensus mechanism and validator alignment, could nonetheless occur due to software bugs, deliberate attacks, fundamental disagreements among validators regarding protocol rules, or other unforeseen circumstances.
In the event of an XRPL network fork, chain split, or emergence of multiple incompatible protocol versions, the Company would assess the situation and determine which chain or protocol version to recognize for Platform purposes. This determination would be made in the Company's sole discretion based on factors including but not limited to which chain appears to have majority support from the XRPL validator community, which chain maintains the greatest consensus weight under applicable consensus mechanisms, which chain has the broadest adoption among exchanges and service providers, which chain the Company believes best represents the legitimate continuation of the XRPL network, technical considerations regarding security and stability of competing chains, and business considerations regarding which chain best serves the Platform's long-term interests and user base.
Users acknowledge that the Company's determination of which chain to recognize in fork scenarios is a discretionary decision that may result in Users' assets on non-recognized chains becoming worthless for Platform purposes, even if those assets retain value on alternative chains or among certain segments of the XRPL community. Users further acknowledge that fork scenarios may result in temporary uncertainty regarding the status of assets, transactions, or Account balances; may prevent the Platform from accurately tracking blockchain state until fork resolution; may require Users to take specific actions to ensure their assets are recognized on the Company-supported chain; and may result in permanent loss of value if Users held assets on a chain that ultimately is not recognized by the Platform or the broader ecosystem.
The Company will communicate its position regarding fork scenarios as promptly as practical circumstances permit, but Users acknowledge that rapidly evolving fork situations may require the Company to make interim decisions that are later revised as situations develop, and that such revision of positions does not constitute breach of any obligation to Users. Users accept the risk that their strategy regarding fork scenarios may prove suboptimal in retrospect and that the Company's decisions regarding forks, while made in good faith, may not align with decisions Users would have made if acting independently.
Protocol governance processes on XRPL, including the amendment system whereby the network upgrades its consensus rules, operate independently of the Company through mechanisms involving validator consensus. The Company may operate one or more XRPL validators that participate in consensus, but the Company's validators represent only a small fraction of the validator network and cannot unilaterally determine protocol changes. Network upgrades may be approved through amendment processes that the Company did not support or that the Company believes are detrimental to the Platform or Users, but the Company generally must accept and accommodate approved amendments to maintain compatibility with the XRPL network.
Users acknowledge that protocol changes resulting from XRPL's governance processes may affect Platform functionality, User asset characteristics, transaction costs, network performance, or any other aspect of XRPL network operation. The Company will make reasonable efforts to adapt to protocol changes and maintain Platform functionality following network upgrades, but the Company cannot guarantee that all Platform features will continue to function identically or at all following protocol changes. In extreme cases where protocol changes fundamentally alter the XRPL network in ways incompatible with the Platform's architecture or business model, the Company reserves the right to discontinue XRPL support and migrate to alternative blockchain networks, though the Company does not anticipate needing to exercise this right given XRPL's established governance processes and community alignment.
5.10 Disclaimers Regarding Blockchain Functionality
The Company provides blockchain-related functionality on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind regarding blockchain interactions, network availability, transaction success, asset security, or any other aspect of blockchain operations. The Company specifically disclaims any warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement with respect to blockchain functionality.
The Company does not warrant or guarantee that blockchain transactions initiated through Platform interfaces will successfully complete, will complete in any particular timeframe, will complete at any particular cost, or will achieve their intended effects. Transaction success depends on numerous factors beyond the Company's control including network congestion, fee adequacy, validator behavior, recipient account configurations, and protocol rules. The Company provides tools to facilitate transaction initiation but cannot control transaction outcomes once transactions are submitted to the blockchain network.
The Company does not warrant that blockchain data displayed through Platform interfaces is accurate, current, or complete. Blockchain data presented in the Platform is derived from Third-Party infrastructure providers and blockchain network queries that may be delayed, incorrect, or incomplete. Users should independently verify critical blockchain data through multiple authoritative sources including direct blockchain network queries if possible. Price information, balance displays, transaction history, and other blockchain-derived data presented in Platform interfaces are provided for informational convenience only and should not be relied upon as the sole source of truth for making financial decisions.
The Company does not warrant that its blockchain integrations are free from bugs, vulnerabilities, or design flaws. The Company conducts reasonable testing and security review of blockchain integration code, but all software contains bugs and blockchain integrations are particularly complex systems that may behave unexpectedly under certain conditions. Users acknowledge that bugs in blockchain integration code could result in loss of funds, incorrect transaction execution, privacy breaches through unintended information disclosure, or other adverse outcomes. The Company will make reasonable efforts to fix identified bugs expeditiously but makes no guarantees regarding bug-free operation or timeline for bug fixes.
The Company does not warrant compatibility with all XRPL Wallets, tokens, or protocol features. The Platform is designed to work with commonly used Wallets and mainstream XRPL features, but the diversity of the XRPL ecosystem means that some Wallets, tokens, or protocol features may not function correctly with Platform interfaces. Users utilizing uncommon Wallets, exotic tokens, or advanced XRPL features do so at their own risk and should not expect Platform interfaces to accommodate all possible XRPL ecosystem variations.
6.1 Platform Intellectual Property Ownership
The Platform, including all software, code, algorithms, architecture, user interfaces, visual designs, graphics, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade names, text, documentation, data compilations, databases, APIs, SDKs, tools, features, functionality, and all other content, materials, and technology comprising or embodied in the Platform (collectively, "Platform IP"), is and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company and its licensors.

The Company reserves all rights not expressly granted to Users under these Terms. No implied licenses or rights arise from Users' use of the Platform, from the Company's failure to enforce any provision of these Terms, from any course of dealing between Users and the Company, or from any trade usage or custom. The license granted herein is subject to immediate termination upon Users' violation of these Terms, upon termination of Users' Accounts for any reason, upon the Company's determination that continued licensing poses legal or business risks, or at the Company's sole discretion with or without cause. Upon termination of the license, Users must immediately cease all use of the Platform and destroy or return to the Company, at the Company's option, all copies of Platform materials in Users' possession or control.
6.3 User Content: Ownership, License Grant, and Representations
Users retain ownership of intellectual property rights in original content that Users create and submit to the Platform, including but not limited to text, images, videos, audio, profile information, comments, posts, project descriptions, reviews, and any other materials Users upload, post, or transmit through the Platform (collectively, "User Content"). Notwithstanding Users' retention of ownership, Users acknowledge that by submitting User Content to the Platform, Users grant the Company certain extensive licenses necessary for the Company to operate the Platform, provide services to Users, and use User Content for Platform-related purposes as described herein.
Specifically, by submitting User Content to the Platform, Users hereby grant to the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicensees), perpetual, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise exploit such User Content in connection with the Platform and the Company's business operations, including but not limited to using User Content for promotional purposes, incorporating User Content into Platform features and functionality, displaying User Content to other Users and to the public, creating derivative works based on User Content such as compilations or aggregations, sublicensing User Content to service providers who assist in Platform operations, and using User Content to train machine learning models or artificial intelligence systems that may be deployed in Platform features or in other Company products and services.
This license grant is broad and permissive by design, reflecting the reality that Platform operation requires extensive flexibility in how User Content is used, stored, modified, and distributed. For example, the Platform may need to resize or reformat images Users upload to display them properly across various devices and screen sizes, may need to create thumbnails or previews of User Content for display in Content feeds, may need to cache User Content across Content delivery networks for performance optimization, may need to excerpt or summarize User Content for search results or activity feeds, may need to incorporate User Content into compilations or rankings visible to other Users, and may need to preserve User Content in archives or backups even after Users delete it from their active view. The license granted herein permits all such uses and ensures the Company is not legally constrained in operating the Platform efficiently and providing features Users expect from modern web applications.
The license grant is perpetual and irrevocable, meaning that even if Users delete User Content from the Platform or terminate their Accounts, the Company retains the licensed rights to continue using User Content that was submitted before deletion or termination. This perpetual license is necessary because User Content may be integrated into Platform systems, features, or derivatives in ways that make complete extraction or removal technically infeasible, and because other Users may have relied on or built upon User Content in ways that should not be disrupted by the original User's subsequent deletion. However, the Company will generally cease actively displaying User Content to other Users following User-initiated deletion, though copies may persist in backups, caches, or archives, and derivative works created from User Content may continue to be used.
Users represent and warrant with respect to all User Content submitted to the Platform that Users own or control all rights necessary to grant the licenses set forth herein; that User Content does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other legal rights of any third party; that User Content does not contain defamatory, libelous, or unlawful material; that User Content complies with these Terms and all applicable laws; that Users have obtained all necessary permissions, releases, or consents from any persons or entities appearing in or referenced by User Content; and that Users are not submitting User Content on behalf of or at the direction of any third party without proper authorization. These representations and warranties are made by Users each time User Content is submitted and are deemed repeated continuously throughout the period User Content remains accessible through the Platform.
Users acknowledge that the Company does not claim ownership of User Content beyond the licensed rights explicitly granted herein, and that the license granted to the Company is non-exclusive, meaning Users retain the right to use, license, or exploit their User Content outside the Platform and in connection with other services or platforms. However, Users acknowledge that if User Content becomes widely distributed through the Platform or incorporated into Platform features or derivatives, Users' practical ability to control or monetize that Content may be diminished, as others may create copies or derivatives that spread beyond Users' control. Users assume all risks associated with public disclosure of User Content and with granting broad licenses to the Company as required for Platform participation.
6.4 Content Monitoring, Moderation, and Removal
The Company reserves the right but assumes no obligation to monitor, review, edit, modify, or remove User Content at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice to Users. This right extends to all User Content regardless of whether it was submitted to public-facing areas of the Platform or to portions of the Platform intended to be visible only to limited audiences. While the Company implements certain automated and manual Content moderation systems designed to identify and remove Content that violates these Terms or Platform policies, Users acknowledge that Content moderation is imperfect and that violative Content may remain accessible for some period before detection and removal, while lawful Content may occasionally be removed erroneously.
The Company does not pre-screen User Content before it is posted to the Platform, and the appearance of User Content on the Platform does not constitute Company endorsement, approval, verification, or adoption of such Content. Users are solely responsible for User Content they submit, and the fact that the Company permits or fails to remove particular User Content does not indicate Company agreement with, support for, or responsibility for such Content. The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for User Content, and Users acknowledge that they access and rely on User Content at their own risk.
Content moderation decisions are made at the Company's sole discretion based on the Company's interpretation of these Terms, Platform policies, applicable law, community standards, and business judgment. The Company may remove Content that technically complies with these Terms if the Company determines such Content to be inappropriate, offensive, harmful, or inconsistent with the type of community the Company seeks to foster. The Company may also choose not to remove Content that arguably violates these Terms if the Company determines such Content has significant social value, constitutes protected speech that the Company chooses to permit despite technical violations, or should be preserved for other reasons.
Users whose Content is removed may submit appeals through designated appeal mechanisms if the Company provides such mechanisms, but the Company has no obligation to provide appeal processes and no obligation to reinstate removed Content even if Users contest the removal. The Company's Content moderation decisions are final and not subject to arbitration, litigation, or any other challenge except to the extent required by applicable law. Users waive any right to seek injunctive relief or specific performance compelling the Company to remove specific Content or to refrain from removing Users' Content, acknowledging that such determinations are within the Company's editorial discretion.
Repeat violators of Content policies may have their Accounts suspended or terminated at the Company's discretion. The Company may implement systems to track Content violations across Users' submission history and may impose escalating consequences for repeated violations, but the Company has no obligation to provide warnings before suspension or termination and may permanently ban Users for egregious violations on first offense. Users acknowledge that Content moderation and enforcement decisions involve subjective judgment and that reasonable people may disagree about whether particular Content violates policies, but Users agree to accept the Company's determinations as final and binding for purposes of Platform participation.
6.5 Copyright Infringement and DMCA Compliance
The Company respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects Users to do the same. The Company responds to valid notices of copyright infringement submitted in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar laws in other jurisdictions. The Company has implemented a policy of terminating the Accounts of Users who are determined to be repeat copyright infringers in appropriate circumstances. Users who believe that Content on the Platform infringes their copyright may submit a DMCA takedown notice to the Company's designated copyright agent as described below.
To be valid and actionable, DMCA notices must comply with statutory requirements set forth in 17 U.S.C. ยง 512(c)(3) and must include all of the following elements: a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive copyright that is allegedly infringed; identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works; identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, with information reasonably sufficient to permit the Company to locate the material, such as a URL or other specific location on the Platform where the allegedly infringing material appears; information reasonably sufficient to permit the Company to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and email address; a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
DMCA notices should be submitted to the Company's designated copyright agent at the following address: XRPL.Sale DMCA Agent, [Email: legal@xrpl.sale, Physical Address: To be provided upon incorporation]. Notices submitted through other channels or that do not substantially comply with DMCA requirements may not be processed or may experience delayed processing. The Company reserves the right to request additional information or clarification before acting on DMCA notices and may decline to act on notices that appear frivolous, abusive, or insufficiently specific.
Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, the Company will expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material, notify the User who posted such material that it has been removed or disabled, and provide the User with a copy of the DMCA notice. Users whose Content is removed pursuant to a DMCA notice may submit a counter-notice if they believe the Content was removed in error or that they have authorization to use the material. Counter-notices must comply with DMCA counter-notice requirements set forth in 17 U.S.C. ยง 512(g)(3) and must include the User's physical or electronic signature; identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled; a statement under penalty of perjury that the User has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and the User's name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the User consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located or, if the address is outside the United States, to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Courts located in the State of Delaware, and that the User will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or an agent of such person.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, the Company will provide a copy to the original complaining party and inform them that the Company will restore the removed material or cease disabling access to it in ten business days unless the complaining party files a court action seeking a court order restraining the User from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Platform. If no such court action is filed within the ten-business-day period, the Company will restore the material or cease disabling access to it, though the Company reserves the right to permanently remove material or keep access disabled if the Company determines in its sole discretion that doing so is appropriate to avoid legal liability or for other business reasons.
The Company may terminate the Accounts of Users who are found to have repeatedly infringed copyrights. Determinations regarding repeat infringement are made at the Company's sole discretion based on the number and severity of valid DMCA notices received regarding a particular User's Content, the User's responses to such notices, the User's apparent intent to respect or disregard intellectual property rights, and any other factors the Company deems relevant. Users acknowledge that multiple valid DMCA notices regarding different Content items may result in Account termination even if each individual instance might not warrant termination standing alone, and that the Company may also consider unsubstantiated complaints or suspected copyright violations that did not result in formal DMCA notices when assessing whether a User is a repeat infringer.
Users acknowledge that submitting false or fraudulent DMCA notices or counter-notices may subject them to liability for damages, attorneys' fees, and costs under 17 U.S.C. ยง 512(f) and other applicable laws. Users submitting DMCA notices represent and warrant that they have conducted a good faith assessment of whether the complained-of use is authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, including consideration of fair use and other limitations on copyright protection. The Company reserves the right to seek damages and attorneys' fees from parties who submit fraudulent or abusive DMCA notices or counter-notices.
6.6 Trademark and Other Intellectual Property Infringement
In addition to copyright infringement addressed through DMCA procedures, the Platform prohibits Content that infringes trademarks, patents, trade secrets, rights of publicity, rights of privacy, moral rights, or any other intellectual property or proprietary rights of third parties. Users may not use others' trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, or other source identifiers in ways that create confusion regarding source, sponsorship, or affiliation, or that dilute the distinctive quality of famous marks. Users may not post Content that misappropriates others' trade secrets or confidential proprietary information. Users may not create accounts using names, handles, or identifiers that infringe others' trademark rights or create confusion regarding identity or affiliation.
The Company responds to reports of non-copyright intellectual property infringement through procedures similar to but distinct from DMCA procedures. Parties who believe Content on the Platform infringes their intellectual property rights other than copyrights may submit infringement reports to legal@xrpl.sale containing: identification of the intellectual property right claimed to be infringed, including trademark or patent registration numbers if applicable; identification of the allegedly infringing Content with sufficient specificity to permit the Company to locate it; explanation of how the Content infringes the claimed intellectual property right; contact information for the complaining party; and a statement under penalty of perjury that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the identified Content in the manner complained of is not authorized by the intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law.
Upon receipt of intellectual property infringement reports, the Company will investigate and determine in its sole discretion whether to remove or disable access to the complained-of Content. The Company may request additional information from reporting parties before taking action and may decline to act on reports that appear frivolous, insufficiently specific, or legally questionable. The Company may provide Users whose Content is removed with notice of the removal and information about the nature of the complaint, though the Company is not obligated to do so and may decline to provide such notice if doing so would compromise reporting party confidentiality or present other concerns.
Users whose Content is removed based on non-copyright intellectual property infringement claims may submit responses explaining why they believe the Content does not infringe or why they are authorized to use the allegedly infringing material. The Company will consider such responses but has no obligation to reinstate Content and makes final determinations regarding infringement in its sole discretion based on its interpretation of applicable law and its assessment of legal risk. Unlike DMCA procedures which are governed by statutory safe harbors and procedures, non-copyright intellectual property disputes are governed by common law and statutory frameworks that provide the Company with greater discretion in how to respond to complaints and how to balance the interests of reporting parties and affected Users.
The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate Accounts of Users who repeatedly post Content that infringes others' intellectual property rights, even if such Content involves intellectual property rights other than copyrights not covered by DMCA repeat infringer policies. Determinations regarding repeat infringement are made at the Company's discretion based on the frequency and severity of valid infringement complaints, Users' responsiveness to removal requests, and other relevant factors.
6.7 Fair Use, Parody, and Transformative Uses
While the Platform prohibits infringing Content, the Company recognizes that fair use, parody, transformative uses, and other legally privileged uses of copyrighted or trademarked material may be permissible under applicable law. Users may rely on fair use or equivalent doctrines when posting Content that incorporates others' intellectual property for purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, research, or other purposes recognized by fair use jurisprudence. However, Users bear the burden of establishing that their uses constitute fair use or other legally privileged uses if challenged, and the Company makes no determination regarding whether particular Content constitutes fair use.
The Company may remove Content that Users claim constitutes fair use if the Company receives infringement complaints and determines that removing the Content is appropriate to reduce legal risk, maintain relationships with content partners, or for other business reasons. The Company is not required to make legal determinations regarding whether Content actually constitutes fair use before removing it, and Users acknowledge that the Company may adopt conservative positions regarding fair use to avoid legal liability even when Users believe their uses are clearly protected. Users whose Content is removed may submit responses explaining their fair use rationale, but the Company has no obligation to reinstate Content even if persuaded by Users' fair use arguments.
Parody and satire involving others' intellectual property are subject to particularly fact-intensive legal analysis and carry significant legal risks. While parodies may constitute fair use or otherwise be legally permissible in certain circumstances, many alleged parodies do not qualify for legal protection either because they fail to meet the requirements for parodic fair use or because they cross lines into defamation, false light, or other actionable conduct. Users creating parody Content do so at substantial risk and should understand that the Company may remove parody Content if it receives complaints, even if the Company recognizes that the Content might ultimately be found to constitute protected parody if subjected to full legal analysis in litigation.
The Company's editorial judgment regarding what Content to permit or remove is independent of whether Content might ultimately be found to constitute fair use or other legally privileged use if challenged in court. The Company may choose to permit Content that arguably infringes if the Company determines the Content has sufficient social value, constitutes probable fair use, or should be permitted for other reasons. Conversely, the Company may choose to remove Content that likely would be found to constitute fair use if challenged, if the Company determines that removing the Content is appropriate for business reasons, to maintain community standards, or to avoid controversy. The Company's Content moderation decisions are editorial judgments not subject to challenge except to the extent compelled by applicable law.
6.8 Third-Party Content and Links
The Platform may contain or provide links to third-party websites, services, content, or resources not owned or controlled by the Company, including but not limited to Project websites, token documentation, social media profiles, blockchain explorers, news articles, educational resources, and other external content. The Company provides such links for Users' convenience only and does not endorse, verify, warrant, or assume any responsibility for third-party content, services, or websites. Users access third-party content at their own risk and should review applicable terms of service and privacy policies for any third-party services they access through Platform links.
The Company is not responsible for the accuracy, legality, appropriateness, or quality of third-party content, and the Company specifically disclaims any liability for harm, losses, or damages resulting from Users' interactions with third-party services or reliance on third-party content. Third-party websites and services may employ tracking technologies, collect personal information, or engage in practices that differ from the Company's practices as described in the Privacy Policy, and Users acknowledge that their use of third-party services is governed by those services' terms and policies rather than by these Terms or the Privacy Policy.
Users may not post links to third-party content if such links violate these Terms or Platform policies. Prohibited links include but are not limited to links to illegal content, malware, phishing sites, sexually explicit material (except in designated adult-only areas if any), content that promotes violence or illegal activities, fraudulent schemes, or other inappropriate destinations. The Company may remove links that violate these prohibitions and may suspend or terminate Accounts of Users who repeatedly post prohibited links.
Conversely, third parties may link to the Platform, subject to compliance with the linking guidelines set forth herein. Third parties may link to the Platform's homepage or to specific publicly accessible pages within the Platform using standard hyperlinks, provided such links do not suggest endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with the Company unless such relationship actually exists and is authorized in writing. Third parties may not frame Platform content within their own interfaces without the Company's express written permission. Third parties may not use Platform trademarks, logos, or other branding in connection with links except as expressly authorized. Third parties may not create links that bypass the Platform's normal user interface or navigation flow, such as deep links to internal functionality not intended for direct public access. The Company reserves the right to revoke linking permission and to demand removal of any links that the Company determines violate these guidelines or that otherwise present concerns.
6.9 Open Source Software and Third-Party Licenses
The Platform incorporates various open source software components and libraries licensed under open source licenses including but not limited to the MIT License, Apache License 2.0, GNU General Public License, BSD licenses, and other open source licenses. The Company provides notices regarding significant open source components and their respective licenses through appropriate mechanisms such as license files included with Platform distributions, license notices displayed within the Platform, or documentation pages accessible to Users. Users' use of the Platform is subject to compliance with applicable open source licenses, which may impose requirements such as preservation of copyright notices, provision of license texts, or disclosure of modifications.
Certain open source licenses, particularly copyleft licenses such as the GNU General Public License, impose obligations on parties who distribute modified versions or derivative works of the licensed software. Users who interact with the Platform through officially provided interfaces and in accordance with these Terms generally will not trigger distribution obligations under open source licenses, as Users are merely using the Platform as an end-user rather than distributing Platform software. However, Users who reverse engineer Platform components, create unauthorized derivative works, or otherwise exceed the scope of permitted use may incur obligations under open source licenses that govern Platform components, and Users assume all risks associated with such obligations.
The Company's use of open source software does not diminish the Company's intellectual property rights in Platform components that are not derived from open source software. The Platform as a whole, including the Company's original software, designs, business logic, and integration of various components, constitutes proprietary work of the Company protected by intellectual property law independent of any open source components incorporated into the Platform. Users may not claim rights to Platform IP based on the Platform's incorporation of open source components.
6.10 Intellectual Property Enforcement and Remedies
The Company vigorously enforces its intellectual property rights against infringers and will pursue all available legal remedies against parties who violate the Company's intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others through Platform use. Violations may result in civil liability, criminal prosecution, or both, depending on the nature and severity of the infringement. The Company may seek injunctive relief to prevent ongoing infringement, monetary damages to compensate for losses caused by infringement, disgorgement of profits obtained through infringement, statutory damages where applicable, attorneys' fees and costs, and any other relief available under applicable law.
Users who violate intellectual property provisions of these Terms will have their Accounts immediately suspended or terminated, will forfeit all Rewards and benefits, may be permanently banned from creating new Accounts, and will be held liable for all damages caused by their violations. The Company may report intellectual property violations to law enforcement authorities if violations appear to involve criminal conduct. The Company may also share information about intellectual property violations with industry organizations, intellectual property protection services, and other companies to prevent repeat offenders from exploiting other platforms.
The Company cooperates with intellectual property owners to protect their rights and may disclose User information to intellectual property owners or their authorized representatives when necessary to investigate or remedy infringement. Users consent to such disclosure as necessary for intellectual property enforcement purposes. The Company may also provide information to law enforcement or regulatory authorities investigating intellectual property crimes without notice to affected Users.
Indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10 of these Terms apply to intellectual property violations, meaning Users who post infringing Content or who otherwise violate intellectual property rights through Platform use will be required to indemnify and defend the Company against all resulting claims, damages, and costs. This indemnification extends to third-party claims that User Content infringes intellectual property rights, even if Users believed their uses were lawful at the time Content was posted.
7.1 General Content Standards and User Obligations
All Content published, transmitted, or otherwise made available on the Platform must uphold the integrity, safety, and trust of the XRPL.Sale ecosystem. Users agree to exercise good judgment, respect community standards, and comply with all Applicable Law when creating or distributing Content. Content must be accurate, presented in good faith, and free from material omissions that would mislead a reasonable person reviewing such information.
Users are solely responsible for ensuring that Content complies with these Terms, the Privacy Policy, any supplemental policies published by the Company, and the lawful instructions of Platform moderators. Users must maintain appropriate rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to share any Content they submit and must provide attribution, disclosures, or legends where required by law or industry standards. Content cannot infringe intellectual property or proprietary rights, misuse trade secrets, or misrepresent professional qualifications, affiliations, or endorsements.
Users acknowledge that the Platform is intended for professional, educational, and community-building purposes. Content therefore must remain civil, relevant to the subject matter being discussed, and consistent with the Platform's mission of supporting responsible XRPL innovation. Users agree not to weaponize Content, coordinate brigading or harassment campaigns, or otherwise degrade the Platform experience for other participants.
7.2 Prohibited Content: Illegal Activities and Criminal Conduct
Content that facilitates, encourages, or depicts illegal activities or criminal conduct is strictly prohibited. This includes, without limitation, Content that instructs others how to commit fraud, launder funds, evade law enforcement, traffic controlled substances, distribute malware, or engage in any other unlawful activity. Users may not solicit, promote, or glorify criminal enterprises, nor may they post materials that provide detailed manuals for unlawful schemes.
The Platform will remove Content that seeks to sell or distribute contraband, forged documents, weapons, or other items whose sale or possession is unlawful in any relevant jurisdiction. Users may not use the Platform to coordinate or aid criminal conspiracies, nor may they provide instructions designed to help others avoid legal obligations, regulatory oversight, or sanctions screening. The Company will cooperate with law enforcement authorities when it becomes aware of criminal Content and may preserve or disclose information consistent with Applicable Law.
Users acknowledge that XRPL.Sale operates globally and that Content must respect the laws of all jurisdictions in which the Platform is accessible. Where legal regimes conflict, the Company may adopt the most conservative approach necessary to mitigate legal and compliance risk, including removal of Content that could be lawful in one jurisdiction but illegal in another.
7.3 Prohibited Content: Violence, Threats, and Harmful Conduct
Users may not post Content that threatens, incites, or celebrates violence, bodily harm, or property destruction. This prohibition includes explicit or implicit threats, glorification of self-harm or suicide, encouragement of vigilantism, and advocacy of terrorism or violent extremism. Graphic depictions of violence or gore are prohibited unless presented in a neutral, documentary context with appropriate warnings and legitimate educational intent.
The Platform likewise bans Content that instructs others on constructing weapons, carrying out violent attacks, or otherwise inflicting harm. Users who observe imminent threats must notify the Company immediately so that appropriate escalations can occur. The Company reserves the right to notify competent authorities if it believes that a credible threat exists to a person, facility, or public safety.
Users struggling with self-harm or suicidal ideation should seek professional help. The Platform is not a crisis support service, and Content promoting self-harm will be removed. The Company may provide resource information in response to such Content but is under no obligation to do so.
7.4 Prohibited Content: Hate Speech, Discrimination, and Extremism
Content that demeans, threatens, or incites hatred against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, caste, disability, serious disease, age, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation is strictly forbidden. The Platform also prohibits slurs, epithets, stereotypes, or imagery historically associated with hate or state-sponsored persecution.
Users may not promote extremist ideologies, recruit for extremist organizations, or celebrate past atrocities. Historical or academic discussions of extremist movements must be contextualized, neutral, and clearly educational. The Company may remove Content that, while not explicitly hateful, employs dog whistles or coded language frequently used to direct harassment at protected groups.
Respectful debate about policy or ideology is permitted, but it must avoid targeting individuals or groups for inherent characteristics. Users agree to moderate their tone and to disengage from topics if requested by the Company in order to maintain an inclusive environment.
7.5 Prohibited Content: Sexual Content and Exploitation
The Platform prohibits sexually explicit Content, pornography, or materials primarily intended to arouse. Content that sexualizes minors, suggests exploitation, or references non-consensual activity will be removed and may be reported to law enforcement. Users must never solicit or share intimate imagery without the documented consent of every depicted party.
Discussions of adult topics in a professional, educational, or harm-reduction context may be permitted if handled with discretion, devoid of explicit imagery, and clearly labeled. However, the Platform is not intended for erotic communities, escorting services, or sexually oriented commerce, and such uses violate these Terms.
Users are responsible for ensuring that links they share do not resolve to explicit content, sexually exploitative material, or adult services. The Company may suspend Accounts that repeatedly push sexually explicit boundaries even when individual posts are borderline compliant.
7.6 Prohibited Content: Fraud, Scams, and Deceptive Practices
The Platform maintains a zero-tolerance policy for fraud, deception, and market manipulation. Users may not impersonate others, fabricate credentials, forge documents, misstate material facts, or omit critical risks when soliciting funds or promoting Projects. Pump-and-dump schemes, rug pulls, and undisclosed pay-for-play marketing campaigns constitute serious violations of these Terms.
Users must clearly disclose paid endorsements, referral commissions, or other compensation relating to promotions on the Platform. False promises of guaranteed returns, unsubstantiated claims of third party backing, and fabricated audits or security reviews are prohibited. The Company may require substantiating documentation and may suspend or remove Projects that fail to promptly provide it.
Misleading conduct extends to deceptive smart contract design, hidden withdrawal mechanics, or other technical tricks intended to trap or disadvantage Users. The Company may publicize enforcement actions, coordinate with other industry participants, and notify regulators when it identifies fraudulent behavior.
7.7 Prohibited Content: Spam, Manipulation, and Platform Abuse
Users may not use automated systems, bots, or scripts to generate impressions, submit repetitive Content, harvest data, or otherwise interfere with the Platform's normal operation. Mass posting, chain letters, pyramiding schemes, clickjacking, or artificially inflated engagement metrics are all forms of prohibited behavior.
Incentivizing others to spam the Platform, engaging in brigading, or coordinating inauthentic behavior on external services in order to influence Platform outcomes is likewise prohibited. The Company may rate limit Accounts, disable features, or take other technical steps to protect Platform integrity.
Users must honor API terms, avoid scraping or data harvesting without consent, and refrain from interfering with security mechanisms. Violations may lead to permanent bans, voiding of Rewards, and potential referral to law enforcement or civil litigation.
7.8 Permitted Content and Best Practices
The Platform encourages constructive dialogue, educational resources, transparent case studies, technical documentation, and thoughtful commentary on XRPL innovation. Users should ground claims in verifiable evidence, cite credible sources, and distinguish clearly between personal opinion and objective fact.
When discussing Projects, Users should present balanced perspectives, disclose affiliations, and refrain from hyperbole. Community members are encouraged to use cautionary language when sharing beta features or unaudited smart contracts. Using trigger or content warnings for potentially sensitive topics helps maintain a respectful environment.
Users are invited to report vulnerabilities, scams, or policy violations through official channels. Responsible disclosure strengthens the ecosystem and may be eligible for recognition or Rewards in the Company's discretion.
7.9 Project Content: Special Rules and Requirements
Projects applying for listing or promotion on the Platform must provide truthful, comprehensive information regarding their teams, technology, tokenomics, legal structure, and risk factors. Team members must be accurately identified unless anonymity is expressly permitted by the Company after a compliance review. Whitepapers, audits, and roadmap materials must reflect current, verifiable information.
Projects must keep their profiles current and promptly update Content when material facts change. If a Project experiences a security incident, legal restriction, or material deviation from previously disclosed plans, it must alert the Company and the community without undue delay. Promotional materials must avoid false scarcity, unrealistic yield projections, or other claims that could mislead prospective participants.
Projects are responsible for moderating their official discussion channels hosted on the Platform and for ensuring that affiliated Content creators respect these Terms. The Company may suspend Project visibility, pause token launches, or revoke listing privileges if a Project fails to uphold these obligations.
7.10 Commercial Content and Advertising
Commercial advertisements, sponsored posts, and promotional campaigns must comply with applicable advertising laws and self-regulatory standards. Users must ensure that marketing claims are truthful, verifiable, and appropriately qualified. Disclosures must be clear, conspicuous, and proximate to the related claims.
Advertising Content must not create confusion regarding whether a Project is endorsed by the Company or whether a financial product is regulated, insured, or risk-free. Comparative advertising is permitted only when substantiated and presented without disparagement or misrepresentation.
The Company reserves the right to approve, reject, or remove advertisements at its sole discretion and may require additional disclosures or disclaimers prior to publication. Repeated violations may result in the loss of advertising privileges or broader Account sanctions.
7.11 Privacy, Personal Information, and Doxing
Users must respect the privacy rights of others. Content that reveals personal information without consentโincluding home addresses, phone numbers, government-issued identifiers, financial account numbers, or private communicationsโconstitutes doxing and is prohibited. Posting hacked materials, leaks, or other unlawfully obtained data is likewise forbidden.
Public figures may be discussed in a critical or analytical context, but Users must avoid exposing personal information about their families, associates, or private lives. Ledger activity may be referenced, yet Users should not connect pseudonymous addresses to real-world identities unless such associations are already public and verified.
Users who collect personal data through Platform interactions must comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws, provide required notices, and obtain lawful bases for processing. The Company may remove Content or suspend Accounts that misuse personal information or engage in targeted harassment.
7.12 Platform Integrity: Prohibited Technical Content
Users may not distribute malware, ransomware, spyware, exploit kits, or other malicious code. Content providing instructions for exploiting Platform vulnerabilities, bypassing security controls, or reverse engineering proprietary functionality is prohibited. The Company encourages responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities directly to its engineering team rather than public posting.
Attempts to degrade Platform performance, overwhelm infrastructure, scrape protected data, or gain unauthorized access to systems violate these Terms. Users must not share brute-force wordlists, credential dumps, or other materials designed to compromise Accounts. The Company may coordinate with infrastructure providers, CERTs, or law enforcement to mitigate technical threats.
Researchers conducting good-faith testing should contact the Company before publishing findings. The Company may offer acknowledgments or other incentives for responsible disclosure but is under no obligation to do so. Unauthorized penetration testing, red teaming, or publication of proprietary source code may result in legal action.
7.13 Content Moderation: Processes, Standards, and Limitations
The Company employs a combination of automated tooling, human review, and community reporting to enforce these Content standards. While the Company strives for accuracy and consistency, moderation decisions inevitably involve discretion. The absence of enforcement against a particular piece of Content does not constitute approval or a waiver of the right to act later.
Users whose Content is removed may appeal through processes provided by the Company, but appeals are not guaranteed and may not result in reinstatement. The Company may prioritize review based on risk, severity, and resource availability. During investigations, the Company may restrict Accounts, quarantine Content, or delay publication without advance notice.
The Company may share anonymized moderation data with regulatory bodies, researchers, or industry partners to improve safety standards. Users acknowledge that moderation actions may take time to process and that errors may occur; nevertheless, Users agree that the Company's good-faith efforts to enforce these policies satisfy its obligations under these Terms.
8.1 Comprehensive Risk Disclosure Statement
Participation in the Platform and in broader XRPL ecosystems entails substantial risks that Users must carefully evaluate before engaging with any feature, Project, or transaction. These risks include exposure to extreme price volatility, smart contract vulnerabilities, regulatory uncertainty, and operational failures beyond the Company's control. The Company provides the following detailed disclosures to promote informed decision-making and to emphasize that Users proceed at their own risk.
Users represent that they possess the financial sophistication and technical capability to understand these risks, that they have performed independent due diligence, and that they can afford to bear total loss without relying on funds needed for personal expenses. Users acknowledge that no risk disclosures can be exhaustive, that new risks emerge as technology and markets evolve, and that Users alone are responsible for monitoring and managing their ongoing exposure.
8.2 Financial Risks and Risk of Total Loss
Users may lose 100% of the value committed to Platform activities, including token purchases, campaign contributions, or Rewards. Cryptocurrency markets are speculative and frequently experience rapid drawdowns, illiquidity, or permanent loss of value. Smart contract exploits, compromised wallets, or malicious Projects can erase holdings instantly without any recourse.
The Company does not guarantee the solvency, credibility, or performance of Projects. Projects may fail to deliver promised utility, may dissolve unexpectedly, or may exit-scam. Users must not commit capital they cannot afford to lose and should diversify across assets, strategies, and platforms to mitigate catastrophic loss.
The Company is not obligated to reimburse Users for losses arising from price swings, failed Projects, custody mistakes, or user error (including mis-signed transactions). Insurance mechanisms, if any, are provided by third parties and are subject to their own terms.
8.3 Technology Risks and Platform Risks
The Platform relies on complex software, smart contracts, third-party APIs, network infrastructure, and the XRPL blockchain. Bugs, outages, zero-day vulnerabilities, or dependency failures may disrupt services, delay transactions, or expose Users to security incidents. The Company cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability, data integrity, or prompt remediation of defects.
Users are responsible for maintaining secure devices, up-to-date wallets, and verified binaries. Keyloggers, phishing, SIM swaps, or compromised hardware wallets can lead to irreversible asset loss. The Company encourages defense-in-depth practices but cannot secure Users' local environments.
Platform interfaces may evolve, features may be deprecated, and experimental releases may contain latent defects. Users should review release notes, changelogs, and audit reports where available and should test with minimal value before committing substantial funds.
8.4 Regulatory and Legal Risks
The legal status of digital assets is unsettled in many jurisdictions. Regulatory bodies may classify certain tokens as securities, commodities, or payment instruments, imposing registration, disclosure, or licensing obligations. Governments may restrict or ban token sales, staking, lending, or other activities facilitated by the Platform, rendering participation illegal or impractical.
Users are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all laws applicable to their activities. Regulatory enforcement actions, injunctions, or asset freezes could impair Users' ability to access or liquidate tokens obtained through the Platform. The Company may modify, geo-restrict, or cease offering features to comply with evolving legal requirements without prior notice.
Tax authorities may treat tokens differently for income, capital gains, or value-added tax purposes. Users must maintain accurate records and consult qualified advisors regarding reporting obligations. The Company does not provide legal, regulatory, or compliance advice.
8.5 Market Risks and Cryptocurrency Volatility
Cryptocurrency markets operate 24/7 with minimal circuit breakers, meaning sudden price swings can occur at any time. Thin liquidity, fragmented order books, and limited market-maker participation can amplify volatility. Market manipulationโincluding wash trading, spoofing, or coordinated FUD/FOMO campaignsโmay distort prices without warning.
Stablecoins may de-peg, liquidity pools may lose depth, and off-chain collateral arrangements may collapse. Users must evaluate counterparty risk, oracle dependencies, and the resilience of liquidity venues they rely upon. Historical performance is not indicative of future results.
Users should implement disciplined risk management, including position sizing, stop-loss strategies, and periodic portfolio rebalancing. The Company makes no representation that any token or Project will retain value or remain tradable.
8.6 Project Risks and Third-Party Risks
Many Platform features rely on third-party Projects whose operations the Company does not control. Projects may suffer governance disputes, treasury mismanagement, loss of key personnel, or malicious insiders. Third-party service providersโsuch as KYC vendors, analytics tools, or wallet connectorsโ may experience outages or data breaches impacting Users.
Users must perform independent diligence on Projects, review smart contract audits, evaluate team transparency, and assess whether governance safeguards are adequate. The Company's listings or promotional placement do not constitute endorsement, due diligence, or warranty of Project conduct.
Partnerships, integrations, or API availability may change without notice. Users relying on specific third-party tooling should implement contingency plans in the event those services become unavailable.
8.7 Operational Risks and Platform Continuity Risks
The Company may encounter unexpected operational challenges, including staffing constraints, cybersecurity incidents, infrastructure failures, or force majeure events. Such events may impair the Company's ability to deliver services, process requests, or maintain data backups.
Business continuity plans, redundancy, and incident response protocols reduce but do not eliminate the risk of downtime or data loss. Users should maintain their own records of transactions, campaign participation, and token holdings rather than relying solely on Platform interfaces.
In extreme scenarios, the Company may suspend operations, initiate orderly wind-down procedures, or seek restructuring. Users acknowledge that such measures may occur without prior notice and that access to certain features may be permanently discontinued.
8.8 No Warranties and Disclaimer of Liability
The Platform is provided on an โas isโ and โas availableโ basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. The Company expressly disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, data accuracy, and freedom from harmful code.
The Company does not guarantee that the Platform will meet Users' expectations, that security measures will always prevent unauthorized access, or that data will remain accessible indefinitely. Users assume sole responsibility for the outcomes of their decisions and interactions.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims liability for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from Platform participation, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
8.9 No Investment Advice or Professional Advice
Neither the Platform nor any Content provided by the Company constitutes investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Users should consult qualified professionals before making decisions regarding token purchases, staking, governance participation, or other financial actions. Past performance of Projects, tokens, or strategies referenced on the Platform does not guarantee future results.
Educational materials, metrics, rankings, and analytics are provided for informational purposes only and may omit material facts, rely on third-party data, or become outdated quickly. Users should independently verify information and must not rely solely on Platform outputs when making investment decisions.
The Company, its employees, and its contractors may hold tokens or participate in Projects featured on the Platform. Any such involvement does not constitute personalized advice and may create potential conflicts of interest that Users must evaluate independently.
8.10 Risk Mitigation Recommendations
Users should apply rigorous risk management practices, including diversification, position sizing, staged deployment of capital, and the use of hardware wallets or multisignature schemes for significant holdings. Users should maintain redundant secure backups of key materials, enable multifactor authentication, and regularly rotate credentials.
Prior to engaging with a Project, Users should review whitepapers, audit reports, community feedback, and regulatory developments. Users should also evaluate governance processes, treasury transparency, token distribution schedules, and vesting mechanics.
Users who identify vulnerabilities or suspicious activity should notify the Company promptly. Early reporting can reduce losses and may qualify for Rewards if offered by the Company. Ultimately, Users are responsible for their own safety nets, including maintaining fiat reserves, considering insurance products where available, and planning for adverse scenarios.
9.1 Overview of Platform Fees and Pricing Principles
The Company may assess fees for access to certain Platform features, Project listings, promotional placements, analytics, integrations, or premium support. Fees are designed to cover operational costs, maintain Platform security, and support sustainable ecosystem growth. Unless expressly stated, fees do not represent investment returns or profit-sharing arrangements.
Users will be notified of applicable fees before incurring them. Fee schedules may be published on the Platform, embedded in smart contracts, or outlined in order flows. By proceeding with a transaction, Users accept responsibility for all associated charges.
9.2 Project Listing and Campaign Fees
Projects seeking listing, launchpad campaigns, or spotlight features may be subject to upfront review fees, due diligence retainers, or success-based percentages. Such fees compensate the Company for compliance reviews, technical assessments, marketing resources, and operational overhead associated with promoting the Project.
Listing fees are generally non-refundable once due diligence begins, even if the Project withdraws or fails to complete onboarding. Success-based fees may be calculated on gross proceeds, token allocations, or other metrics disclosed at the time of contracting. Projects must not attempt to bypass fee obligations by facilitating off-platform transactions designed to evade measurement.
The Company may, at its discretion, waive or defer fees for community initiatives, charitable campaigns, or strategic ecosystem partners. Any such adjustments will be documented in writing and do not create precedent for other Projects.
9.3 Transaction Fees, Network Costs, and Payment Processing
Users are responsible for XRPL transaction fees, trustline reserves, and any third-party processing costs associated with Platform interactions. Network fees are dynamic and determined by the XRPL protocol or other integrated networks; the Company does not control or profit from such charges unless explicitly disclosed.
Where fiat on-ramps, payment processors, or card networks are used, additional fees may apply and are governed by those third parties' terms. Users must review all fee disclosures during checkout and should anticipate currency conversion costs, bank fees, or chargeback penalties where applicable.
9.4 Wallet Signing Fees and XRPL Reserves
Certain Platform actions require Users to sign XRPL transactions that consume base reserves or owner reserves. Users must maintain sufficient XRP balances to accommodate these reserves. Failure to do so may prevent completion of trustline setups, token issuances, or other XRPL-native operations.
The Company does not reimburse reserve requirements or fees burned by the XRPL protocol. Users should monitor reserve changes announced by the XRPL community and adjust holdings accordingly.
9.5 Refunds, Reversals, and Chargebacks
Cryptocurrency transactions are final and irreversible once confirmed on-chain. The Company cannot force a Project or another User to return funds. Refund policies for fiat payments or off-chain services, if any, will be explicitly documented and may involve processing fees or waiting periods.
Chargebacks initiated through card networks or payment processors may result in additional fees, Account suspension, or the reversal of associated Rewards. Users agree to cooperate with the Company in resolving any payment disputes and to provide supporting documentation upon request.
9.6 Taxes, Reporting Obligations, and Withholding
Users are solely responsible for determining and satisfying any tax obligations arising from Platform use, including income, capital gains, value-added, or withholding taxes. Users must maintain complete records of transactions, token receipts, and fiat settlements to support their filings.
The Company may be required by law to collect tax information, issue informational statements, or withhold amounts from certain payments. Users who fail to provide requested tax documentation may be ineligible for Rewards or subject to backup withholding as required by law.
The Company does not provide tax advice. Users should consult qualified professionals to interpret how tax rules apply to their circumstances.
9.7 Affiliate, Referral, and Incentive Payouts
Rewards issued through referral programs, affiliate arrangements, or incentive campaigns are subject to the terms accompanying the promotion. The Company may impose eligibility criteria, quality checks, anti-abuse reviews, vesting schedules, or clawback provisions. Rewards may be adjusted or forfeited if Users violate program rules or these Terms.
Payouts may be denominated in XRP, other tokens, or fiat equivalents, and may fluctuate in value. Users are responsible for tracking the fair market value of Rewards at the time of receipt for tax purposes. The Company may delay or batch payments to manage blockchain fees or compliance reviews.
9.8 Currency Conversion and Exchange Rate Handling
Where the Platform or a Project quotes amounts in multiple currencies, exchange rates may be sourced from third-party data providers and may lag real-time market conditions. Users accept the risk of slippage or rounding differences. Unless explicitly stated, conversions performed by the Company are for convenience only and do not guarantee execution at the displayed rate.
Projects may denominate contributions in XRP while targeting fundraising goals in fiat terms, leading to fluctuating effective valuations. Users should monitor currency movements throughout campaign periods and adjust participation accordingly.
9.9 Recordkeeping, Audits, and Financial Transparency
Users must maintain their own records of deposits, withdrawals, allocations, and Rewards. The Company may provide dashboards or exports for convenience but does not guarantee archival availability or completeness. Users should periodically download statements and confirm that they align with personal records.
The Company may conduct audits or reviews of Project fundraising, referral campaigns, or other financial programs. Users agree to cooperate with such reviews, provide requested documentation, and remediate any discrepancies identified. Failure to do so may result in suspension of participation or clawback of disbursed amounts.
9.10 Changes to Fees or Financial Terms
Fee schedules, payment methods, and financial terms may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be announced through the Platform, by email, or via other reasonable notice mechanisms. Continued use of affected features after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
The Company may implement temporary promotions, fee holidays, or rebates. Unless otherwise stated, such incentives are discretionary, may be revoked without notice, and do not entitle Users to future concessions. Users are encouraged to review the latest fee information before engaging with any Project or feature.
