Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website at notareum.com (the "Site"), operated by Notareum Labs ("Notareum," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

The Site is an informational resource describing the Notareum protocol, the open .nota file format, related software development kits, and the work of Notareum Labs. Content on the Site is provided for general information only and does not constitute financial, investment, legal, tax, or other professional advice.

Nothing on the Site constitutes an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation regarding any digital asset, security, or financial instrument, including any reference to a prospective $NOTA token. Any future token-related activity will be subject to its own terms, eligibility requirements, and applicable law.

Forward-looking statements (including roadmaps and timelines) reflect current expectations, are subject to change, and do not constitute a binding commitment.

The Notareum protocol, the .nota specification, and related reference implementations are open and may be governed by separate open-source licenses published in their respective repositories. Those licenses, not these Terms, control your rights to use, modify, and distribute that software.

On-chain interactions, validator operations, and decentralized usage of the protocol occur outside the Site and outside our direct control. You are solely responsible for your use of any blockchain network, wallet, or third-party application.

You agree not to:

• Use the Site in any manner that violates applicable law or regulation.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, related systems, or other users' data.
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity, performance, or security of the Site.
• Scrape, harvest, or collect content from the Site for unlawful or abusive purposes.
• Use the Site to transmit malware, spam, or other harmful content.
• Misrepresent your affiliation with Notareum or any other person or entity.

The Site, including its design, text, graphics, logos, and the "Notareum" name and marks, is owned by Notareum Labs or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for content explicitly released under an open-source license or permitted by our brand guidelines, you may not reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without prior written consent.

For brand assets and usage guidance, refer to the brand kit linked from the Site.

The Site may link to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not operated by Notareum, including documentation platforms, code repositories, community channels, and the launch dApp. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third party. Use of those services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

Blockchain technologies are inherently experimental and involve risks, including risks of loss, smart contract failure, regulatory change, and irreversible transactions. You are solely responsible for evaluating these risks before using any related software.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NOTAREUM LABS, ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Notareum Labs and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Notareum Labs is established, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of that jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer protection laws provide otherwise.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Notareum regarding the Site.
