Beta Services

Beta Services are in a testing phase and are provided on an “as-is” and “as available” basis. They might not be as stable or reliable as our regular services. We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue Beta Services at our sole discretion, without notice. Beta Services may contain bugs, errors, or other unpredictable issues. Beta Services are exempt from any uptime, support, or other service level agreements that apply to our regular services.

Your participation in using these Beta Services is valuable to us, and we appreciate your understanding of their experimental nature.

Availability, Errors and Inaccuracies

We are constantly updating our offerings of products and services on the Service. The products or services available on our Service may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable, and we may experience delays in updating information on the Service and in our advertising on other web sites.

We cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including prices, availability, and services. We reserve the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice.

The Data and the operation of the Hypha DAO API is on an “as-is” basis. The Hypha DAO API collects and updates the Data based on its internal settings, and Licensor makes no undertakings or commitments regarding the frequency of Data updates.

Third-party websites and services

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Hypha. Additionally, our Service may allow you to interact directly with third-party services without leaving our website or mobile application.

Hypha has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party web sites or services. You further acknowledge and agree that Hypha shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such websites or services.

ACCOUNTS AND MEMBERSHIP

Registration

Access to some or all of the Services may require registration of a user account with Licensor (the “Account”). As part of the registration and Account creation process Licensee may be asked to fill out an online registration form. Licensee must provide accurate, true and complete information when creating an Account, and keep Licensee’s Account information accurate and up to date.

By creating an Account or updating information in Licensee’s Account, Licensee represents and warrants to Licensor that all information provided by Licensee is true, complete and accurate. Licensor may rely on any information provided to Licensee in the creation of Licensee’s Account and any updated information provided by Licensee, and will not be under any obligation to independently verify any information.

Licensee is solely and fully responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of their wallet’s private keys and ensuring the safe execution of transactions. Any activities or transactions initiated from the Licensee’s wallet are deemed to be actions taken by the Licensee. Licensee may not assign or transfer Licensee rights or delegate Licensee duties under the Account and/or this Agreement without the prior written consent of Licensor or share Licensee’s keys or passwords with any other person.

Licensee must notify Licensor immediately of any unauthorized use of Licensee’s Account or any other breach of security. Licensor cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from any unauthorized use of Licensee’s Account, loss of keys and passwords or any other breach of security. Licensee will be liable for the losses of Licensor and/or others due to any such use.

It is important for users to understand the significant responsibility of managing private keys in the Web3 world, as losing access to or compromising private keys can result in irreversible consequences. Under no circumstance shall the Licensee be required to share the private key with Hypha or a third party.

Blockchain Accounts

Hypha does not have access to your blockchain account where your information and cryptocurrencies are stored. You are the sole owner, and operator of that account.

We may, but have no obligation to, monitor and review new accounts before you may sign in and use our Services. Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your Hypha account. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security. We will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.

We may suspend, disable, or delete your account (or any part thereof) if we determine that you have violated any provision of this Agreement or that your conduct or content would tend to damage our reputation and goodwill. If we delete your account for the foregoing reasons, you may not re-register for our Services. We may block your email address and Internet protocol address to prevent further registration.

Organizational Accounts

Startups, SMEs, Corporate, governmental, and other organizational members can create a Hypha account on behalf of their organization. They must mention the legal name of the organization in the name of the organizational account and publicly display the legal name of the entity in the organization account profile.

Age Requirement

You must be at least 16 years old or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater, to create an account or otherwise use our Services. Individuals under the applicable age may use our Services only through a parent or legal guardian’s account and with their involvement.

Please have that person read this Agreement with you and consent to it before proceeding. You warrant and represent to Hypha that all information provided by You to Hypha in connection with the Network Terms will be current, true, accurate, supportable and complete and, with regard to information.

If you meet the age requirement and create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with it.

Parents and Guardians

By granting your child permission to use the Services through your account, you agree and understand that you are responsible for monitoring and supervising your child’s usage. If you believe your child is using your account and does not have your permission, please contact us immediately so that we can disable access.

Account Security and Monitoring

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including unauthorized activity. You must safeguard the confidentiality of your account credentials and may not share your account credentials with anyone. If you are using a computer that others have access to, you must log out of your account after each session.

It is not possible to change the private key of a cryptocurrency wallet after it has been generated. The private key is a unique, randomly generated string of characters that is used to sign and verify transactions on the blockchain. It is mathematically linked to the public address associated with the wallet.

The seed phrase, on the other hand, is a set of words that is used to generate the private key. It is usually 12, 18, or 24 words long and is used as a backup in case the original private key is lost or stolen. If you are concerned about the security of your seed phrase, you should consider storing it in a secure location, such as a hardware wallet or a paper wallet, and avoid sharing it with anyone.

BILLING AND PAYMENT

Subscription Plans

Our pricing in respect of our Subscription plans/ ‘DAO Builder’ can be found here:

https://hypha.earth/pricing-plans/dao-builder/

In consideration for the Services, Licensee will pay to Licensor a one-time fee or a monthly subscription fee in an amount as set forth in the above link hereto on the first day of each calendar month during the Term. All payments under this Agreement are of net income and Licensee shall bear all applicable value added, state, local and other taxes or other charges with respect to such payments, other than taxes applicable to Licensor’s income.

All payments hereunder will be made in fiat currency via our Stripe payment gateway and API designated by Licensor. No payments hereunder shall be refunded for any reason, except as detailed under the refund policy clause laid out further below. It is agreed that all past due amounts under this Agreement shall bear interest at the greater of the maximum rate permitted by law and 1%, beginning thirty (30) days from the date upon which the applicable amount became due.

Free Plan Accounts

Hypha offers a Free Plan to subscribers that can under certain circumstances be terminated. Before termination occurs, we will attempt to notify you in advance of any such action. Hypha reserves the right to terminate DAOs after 6 months of inactivity.

Ecosystem Plans

Our pricing in respect of our Ecosystem plans can be found here:

https://hypha.earth/pricing-plans/ecosystem-builder/

All payments hereunder will be made in staking cryptocurrency via our Hypha payment gateway and API designated by Licensor. Staking-based token payments involve the process where participants “lock” or “stake” their tokens in a cryptocurrency network as collateral or to perform certain network functions.

Unstaking tokens

When a licensee chooses to unstake tokens that have previously been committed for purposes such as the ecosystem plan, they essentially initiate the process of reclaiming or withdrawing their tokens from the network or platform.

Unstaking typically isn’t instantaneous. Depending on the protocol or platform, there might be a predefined “unbonding” or “cool-down” period during which the tokens remain locked. Only after this duration will the licensee be able to access and transfer the unstaked tokens.

Withdrawal of Network Privileges: Once a licensee starts the unstaking process, any associated benefits or network privileges, such as transaction validation rights, governance voting, or other ecosystem-specific roles, can be revoked with immediate effect.

Potential Penalties: Some networks implement penalties for unstaking within a certain time frame. This is to ensure network stability by discouraging participants from frequently staking and unstaking. If licensees unstake before a specified period, they might forfeit a portion of their staked tokens or the rewards they’ve earned.

Claiming Rewards: Before or while unstaking, participants typically need to claim any outstanding rewards separately. Failure to do so might result in a forfeiture of those rewards, depending on the protocol’s rules.

Re-staking: After unstaking, if the licensee wishes to participate again in staking, they would need to initiate a new staking process, and the associated privileges will be reinstated according to the network’s terms.

DAO Adoption Incentives

As compensation for staking tokens and supporting the network, participants may earn rewards. This could be in the form of additional tokens, fees from the network’s operations, or any other incentive model set by the network.

Fees

You must pay all fees for your subscription and ecosystem plans. Our fees may include a fixed monthly or annual fee plus variable fees for transactions or usage. We may adjust fees from time to time. We will attempt to notify you in advance of any such fee changes prior to your next billing cycle. If you do not wish to accept a fee change, you may cancel your subscription ecosystem plan in accordance with this agreement.

Refund Policy

Subject to the terms hereof, subscribers who purchase plans directly from Hypha may cancel and receive a full refund of their initial purchase within thirty (30) days after purchasing an annual plan and five (5) days after purchasing a monthly plan. Our refund policy does not apply to:

  • Fees charged immediately after a free-trial period ends;
  • Attempted abuse of the refund policy;
  • Subscription renewals or migrations to other plans;
  • Fees other than annual or monthly subscription fees;
  • Requests made after the specified periods;
  • Customers who have breached this policy;
  • Customers who joined using a promotion that expressly disclaimed our refund policy;
  • Customers who have initiated a chargeback dispute;

Withdrawal Right & Refunds for Users Living in EU or UK. When you purchase Hypha subscription, you expressly agree that the subscription will commence immediately on your date of purchase. If you are a consumer in a EU Member State or the UK, you agree you have fourteen (14) days after your purchase to withdraw from your contract for purchase for any reason.

Automatic Renewal

To the extent permitted by applicable law, subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each subscription period unless canceled beforehand. Monthly plans renew for 30-day periods. Annual plans renew for one-year periods. You must pay the annual or monthly fee (plus any taxes) when each renewal period starts. Unused usage limits do not roll over.

Decline Renewal

Subscribers may opt out of automatic renewal by changing their account settings. Ecosystem plan customers may opt out according to the ecosystem terms. Any opt-out or notice of non-renewal will not affect the current subscription period. Hypha may also at their sole discretion decline customer renewals.

Lapse Policy

When a subscription ends, the account will, at Hypha’s option, revert to a free membership or will be deleted. Any content in the account may be deleted to comply with the limitations of the new account status. You are responsible for archiving your content. Hypha shall not be responsible for the loss of any content. We may publish additional guidelines regarding the treatment of lapsed subscriptions. These guidelines describe current practices only and shall not require Hypha to provide any level of post-subscription account status.

Resale

You may not sell, resell, rent, lease, or distribute any plan or any other aspect of our Services to any third party unless authorized by us in writing. We may suspend or terminate accounts sold via authorized resellers for non-payment to the reseller or any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

Tokens purchased during the Token Sale will be distributed to the respective purchasers’ Hypha accounts or designated wallets, as described during the sale period.

Proceeds from the Token Sale will be used by Hypha for its operational needs, growth, and development. Hypha may provide a more detailed breakdown of the intended use of proceeds during or before the Token Sale.

While Hypha intends to make all reasonable efforts to ensure the growth and success of its platform, you acknowledge and agree that purchasing tokens is at your own risk, and there is no guarantee or representation of future value or liquidity for the tokens.

Choice of Law

Any disputes relating to this Agreement or your use of our Services will be governed by the laws of Liechtenstein, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service, and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have between us regarding the Service.

Choice of Venue for Litigation; Jury Trial Waiver

Except for matters that must be arbitrated (as set forth below), you and Hypha agree that any action relating to this Agreement or your use of our Services must be commenced in Vaduz, Liechtenstein; you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. IN ANY SUCH ACTION, HYPHA AND YOU IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

Arbitration of Claims; Class Action Waiver

The exclusive means of resolving any Claim shall be BINDING ARBITRATION. Hypha determines which arbitration process will be administered in each case.

EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY COVERED PRIVACY CLAIM.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Reservation of Rights, Severability

Hypha reserves all rights not expressly granted herein. Hypha’s rights and remedies are cumulative. No failure or delay by Hypha in exercising any right will waive any further exercise of that right. If any term of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that term will be limited or severed.

In the event of a force majeure event, Hypha shall be relieved from full performance of the contractual obligation until the event passes or no longer prevents performance.

This Agreement binds the parties and their successors, personal representatives, and permitted assigns. You may not assign this Agreement to any person whose account has been terminated by Hypha or who is prohibited from registering; any such assignment will be void.
