By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge and agree to the following (in furtherance and not in limitation of the disclaimers and limitations set forth in Section 6 and elsewhere in these Terms):

1.1 Interface to Futureswap Smart Contracts. The Site provides a web interface enabling users to interact with, and read data relevant to, certain smart contracts (the “Futureswap Smart Contracts”) deployed to the Ethereum blockchain and operating on the Ethereum Virtual Machine via the Ethereum blockchain network. The Site may accomplish such purposes directly or indirectly, including through the use of or dependency on third-party components such as Ethereum blockchain network nodes owned or operated by third parties and plugins or applications licensed from third parties by you or the Company. Use of the Site requires you to have your own Ethereum blockchain address and wallet or client software, and neither the Company nor any other Futureswap Team Member will accept custody of or any responsibility with respect to ETH or any other token or cryptocurrency.

1.2 Non-Exclusivity of Site; Independence of Futureswap Smart Contracts. The Site is not the only available method of interacting with the Futureswap Smart Contracts. The Futureswap Smart Contracts exist independently of, are not hosted by, and do not depend for their continued operation or continued existence upon, the Site or any Futureswap Team Member. You may also interact with the Futureswap Smart Contracts through independent websites, Ethereum-compatible wallet software and Ethereum blockchain network clients. The Futureswap Smart Contracts are provided under a separate license, and neither the Company nor any other actual or purported Futureswap Team Member is making any representation, warranty, guarantee or assurance regarding the Futureswap Smart Contracts or the functionality or the usefulness or fitness for any particular purpose thereof. By using the Site, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Company and the other Futureswap Team Members are not responsible for the operation of the Futureswap Smart Contracts, the Ethereum blockchain, the Ethereum blockchain network, the Ethereum Virtual Machine or any other third-party software or networks and have no power to control or reverse any errors or malfunctions with respect thereto; and (b) that all of the aforementioned technologies are subject to sudden changes in the consensus rules or other design or software properties involved in the Ethereum blockchain, Ethereum blockchain network or Ethereum Virtual Machine (including the creation of conflicting versions sometimes known as “forks”), which may materially adversely affect the Site and/or the Futureswap Smart Contracts or the ability of the Site to interact with the Futureswap Smart Contracts or facilitate any transaction in your ETH or other tokens or cryptocurrency. All use of or interaction with such technologies by means of the Site is being undertaken by you solely at your own risk. “Futureswap Team Members” means the (i) Company, (ii) each Person involved in the research, development, design, marketing and/or deployment of the Site and/or the Futureswap Smart Contracts, (iii) each subsidiary, parent company, sister company of and other Person sharing in or subject to the control or management of, by or with, any Person referred to in clause “(i)” or “(ii)”; (iv) each officer, director, manager, agent, employee, advisor, representative and independent contractor of each Person referred to in clause “(i),” “(ii)” or “(iii)”; and (v) each successor, assign, delegate and heir of each Person referred to in clause “(i),” “(ii),” “(iii)” or “(iv)”. “ Person” means an individual (i.e., natural person) or legal entity or other legal person, including any unincorporated association, general partnership, joint venture or other group deemed to have legal personality for any purpose under any applicable Law and any government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you understand that: (a) blockchain technologies, cryptography and cryptocurrencies are always subject to changes or unforeseen weaknesses, attacks and bugs; (b) advances in cryptography cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to cryptocurrencies, which could result in the theft, loss or freezing of your blockchain-based tokens or cryptocurrencies; and (c) blockchain-based tokens and cryptocurrencies and the costs of transacting on the blockchain are highly volatile due to many factors including but not limited to adoption, speculation, technology, security risks and network congestion.

GENERAL

9.1 Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed in all respects, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of Laws, to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would permit or require the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction. 9.2 Entire Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site.

9.3 Rules of Construction. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”. The singular includes the plural, the masculine includes the feminine, and vice versa. The word “or” means the non-exclusive “or”.

9.4 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

9.5 Assignment/Delegation. These Terms, and your rights and obligations under these Terms, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without the Company’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

9.8 No Implied Waivers. No failure on the part of the Company or any other Futureswap Team Member to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under these Terms, and no delay on the part of the Company or any other Futureswap Team Member in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under these Terms, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. In no event shall the Company or any other Futureswap Team Member be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of these Terms, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under these Terms, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company by an authorized representative of the Company, and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

9.9 Dispute Resolution. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with the Company and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement . All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by the Company or any other Futureswap Team Member that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Company and each other Futureswap Team Member, and to any of your subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms. Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution . Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to the Company should be sent to the contact information set forth in Section 9.12. After the Notice is received, you and the Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and the Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this Section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that the Company made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, the Company will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration . If non-appearance-based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

Time Limits. If you or the Company pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.

Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Company, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable Law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of competent jurisdiction would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the Company.

Waiver of Jury Trial . THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and the Company in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions . ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by applicable Law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of competent jurisdiction any information necessary to enforce these Terms, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under applicable Law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.

Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with the Company.

Small Claims Court . Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or the Company may bring an individual action in small claims court.

Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

Claims Not Subject to Arbitration . Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, for such purpose

9.10 Electronic Communications. The communications between you and the Company use electronic means, whether you use the Site or send us emails, or whether the Company posts notices on the Site or communicates with you via email.
