BeraBucks Terms of Use
Effective Date: November 1, 2024
These Terms of Use (this "Agreement") explain the terms and conditions by which you may access and use the products provided to you by BBucks Labs, Inc. (referred to herein as "BeraBucks", "we", "our", or "us") (collectively, the “Products”). The Products shall include, but shall not necessarily be limited to, a website-hosted user interface at www.berabucks.com and any other website, web application, or mobile application exclusively controlled and operated by us (the "Websites"), and any other products and services, including applications developed or operated by third parties, that are listed in Section 1 of this Agreement or are otherwise linked to this Agreement (collectively, the “Products”). You must read this Agreement carefully as it governs your use of the Products. By accessing or using any of the Products, you agree that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Agreement and the Privacy Policy available at www.berbucks.com/privacypolicy. If you do not agree, you are not authorized to access or use any of the Products and should not use the Products.
To access or use any of the Products, you must be able to form a legally binding contract with us. Accordingly, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (e.g., 18 years old in the Cayman Islands) and have the full right, power, and authority to enter into and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement on behalf of yourself and any company or legal entity for which you may access or use the Products. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an entity, you represent to us that you have the legal authority to bind such entity.
You further represent that you are not (a) the subject of economic or trade sanctions administered or enforced by any governmental authority or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties (including but not limited to the list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury) or (b) a citizen, resident, or organized in a jurisdiction or territory that is the subject of comprehensive country-wide, territory-wide, or regional economic sanctions by the United States, United Kingdom, European Union or United Nations. Finally, you represent that your access and use of any of our Products will fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and that you will not access or use any of our Products to conduct, promote, or otherwise facilitate any illegal activity.
Please note that this Agreement contains important information, including a binding arbitration provision and a class action waiver, both of which impact your rights as to how disputes are resolved. Our Products are only available to you — and you should only access any of our Products — if you agree completely with the terms of this Agreement.
1. Products
1.1 The Interface
The interface provides a web or mobile-based means of access to a protocol of applications on a public blockchain like Ethereum or Berachain (the "Protocol"), that allows users to use the Products (the “Interface”).
The Interface is distinct from the Protocol and is one, but not the exclusive, means of accessing the Protocol. BeraBucks does not control or operate any blockchain network. By using the Interface, you understand that you are not buying or selling digital assets from us and that we do not operate any liquidity pools on the Protocol or control trade execution on the Protocol.
To access the Interface, you must use a digital wallet, which allows you to interact with the Protocol. Your relationship with that digital wallet provider is governed by the applicable terms of service of such provider (with respect to the BeraBucks Wallet, this Agreement, and with respect to a third party wallet, the applicable terms of service of such third party). We do not have custody or control over the contents of your digital wallet and have no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. By connecting your digital wallet to our Interface, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference.
1.2. BattleBucks

You may claim a limited number of usernames per device. You may not select a username that misappropriates or infringes the intellectual property rights of others, and you may not impersonate another person or entity. Purchasing, selling or renting a username or profile is strictly prohibited. Username squatting is also prohibited and may result in reassignment of a username. You also understand and agree that if you change your username, your old username may no longer be available. We reserve the right to revoke access to your username at our discretion without notice. Access to your username may be revoked if you violate these terms, violate the law, or engage in behavior that harms our service. We may also revoke your username to comply with a legal requirement or court order.

7. Third Party Services and Content
The Products include integrations, links or other access to third party services, sites, technology, content and resources (each a “Third-Party Service”). Your access and use of the Third-Party Services may also be subject to additional terms and conditions, privacy policies, or other agreements with such third party, and you may be required to authenticate to or create separate accounts to use Third-Party Services on the websites or via the technology platforms of their respective providers.

10.2. Non-Custodial and No Fiduciary Duties
Each of the Products is a purely non-custodial application, meaning we do not ever have custody, possession, or control of your digital assets at any time. It further means you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital wallets you hold and you should never share your digital wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. We accept no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a digital wallet and make no representations or warranties regarding how any of the Products will operate with any specific digital wallet.

For the avoidance of doubt, any references herein to a "digital wallet" shall include the BeraBucks digital wallet.
This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that we owe no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party, and that to the extent any such duties or liabilities may exist at law or in equity, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and eliminated.

WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND/OR INFORMATION OFFERED OR PROVIDED BY THIRD-PARTIES AND ACCESSED THROUGH ANY OF THE PRODUCTS.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES (OTHER THAN AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN CASES INVOLVING PERSONAL INJURY) EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00 USD) OR ITS EQUIVALENT IN THE LOCAL CURRENCY OF THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

You further agree that each of the Products shall be deemed to be based solely in the British Virgin Islands, and that although a Product may be available in other jurisdictions, its availability does not give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction in any forum outside the British Virgin Islands.
14.2. Dispute Resolution
We will use our best efforts to resolve any potential disputes through informal, good faith negotiations.
