Last modified: Jan 23, 2025

Please read these terms carefully and keep a copy of them for your reference. Please also note that there may be specific terms or conditions applicable to you as a user in a given jurisdiction, as detailed below.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, share and otherwise process information about you.

Agreement to Terms

This End User License Agreement and Terms of Service ("EULA" or "Terms") is a binding contract between you, an individual user or site visitor, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("user," "you," "your") and the Oredin Foundation (the "Foundation," "we," "us" or "our") concerning use of the Foundation's services (the "Service"), including the website as well as any other media form, media channel, or mobile website related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (collectively, the "Site").

Currently, the Foundation maintains and operates the Site as a portal for news, information, and updates about the Oredin protocol or network (the "Oredin Network") and the Oredin ecosystem. For the avoidance of doubt, the Foundation does not control the Oredin Network and cannot control activity and data on the Oredin Network, the activities of persons who develop and use applications on the Network, or use of the Oredin Network. The Oredin Network is an open-source protocol that is maintained and processed by network participants across the globe.

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE EULA. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICE OR SITE.

Scope of License

The Service is licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the terms of the EULA, subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of the EULA. The Foundation hereby grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-transferable license to access and use the Service solely for your own use.

Prohibited Activities

You may not access or use the Service for any purpose other than that for which we make the Service available. As a user of the Service, you agree not to:

  • Systematically retrieve data or other content from the Service without written permission
  • Make any unauthorized use of the Service
  • Circumvent or disable security features
  • Engage in unauthorized framing or linking
  • Attempt to impersonate another user
  • Use the Service for any revenue-generating endeavor without our approval
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service
  • Engage in any automated use of the system
  • Attempt to bypass any access restrictions

Termination

We reserve the right to, in our sole discretion and without notice or liability, deny access to and use of the Service to any person for any reason or for no reason, including without limitation for breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this EULA or of any applicable law or regulation.

Dispute Resolution

Please note that these Terms contain an arbitration clause. By accepting these Terms, you agree that all disputes between you and the Foundation will be resolved by binding arbitration. You agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this contract. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator and not a judge or jury, and your claims cannot be brought as a class action.

We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of the EULA, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review the EULA to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised EULA by your continued use of the Service after the date such revised EULA is posted.

Site Management

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to: (1) monitor the Site for violations of this EULA; (2) take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates the law or this EULA, including without limitation, reporting such user to law enforcement authorities; (3) in our sole discretion and without limitation, notice, or liability, to remove from the Site or otherwise disable all files and content that are excessive in size or are in any way burdensome to our systems; and (4) otherwise manage the Site in a manner designed to protect our rights and property and to facilitate the proper functioning of the Site.
