GENERAL TERMS

1. THE SERVICES.

  1. zerozero DAO. The zerozero DAO underpins the zerozero Ecosystem and is made up of all $00 token holders. The Foundation, among other things, (i) serves to execute the $00 tokenholder community’s decisions, (ii) is responsible for day-to-day administration, bookkeeping and project management for the zerozero DAO, (iii) directs funds from the
    “Ecosystem Fund” (a treasury of $00 tokens) and (iv) has authority over the zerozero decentralized exchange. The Services act as an interface through which eligible users can vote on specific aspects put forth by the zerozero DAO. For the avoidance of doubt, the Foundation does not control your or any other user’s voting rights or the blockchain or the protocols that govern the Ethereum blockchain (the “Ethereum Network”) and cannot control activity and data on the Ethereum Network, the validation of transactions on the Ethereum Network, or the use of the Ethereum Network.   
  2. Protocol.  The Foundation exists to support the work of the zerozero ecosystem, which are a set of products and services built to work with certain blockchain smart contracts (“Protocol”). The Protocol may continue to develop and evolve through its community. We are a member of that community, and we contribute to the continuing development of the Protocol, but your use of the Protocol is entirely at your own risk. The Protocol is not part of the Services.  
  1. Locations.  The Foundation is based in the Cayman Islands. We do not offer all of the Services in all jurisdictions and make no claims that the Services or any of their content is accessible or appropriate in all jurisdictions. Additional information regarding the Services may be available and obtained through the Site.  The Services, and certain aspects of the Services, may, as applicable, be delayed, restricted, forfeited, or ultimately unavailable due to certain laws and regulations governing our Services as well as certain circumstances and conditions associated with your use of the Services.

By using a Wallet in connection with the  Services, you agree that you are using such Wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable third party provider of such Wallet. Wallets are not associated with, maintained by, supported by or affiliated with the Foundation. The Foundation accepts no responsibility or liability to you in connection with your use of a Wallet, and makes no representations or warranties regarding how the Services will operate with any specific Wallet.

Each Third Party Resource is available on an “as is” basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement. You assume all risks associated with using each Third Party Resource, and digital assets and decentralized systems generally, including, but not limited to, that digital assets are highly volatile; you may not have ready access to assets; changes to regulatory regimes governing blockchain technologies may materially adversely affect the development of the Services and therefore the potential utility of your tokens or assets; and you may lose some or all of your tokens or other assets.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. 

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.  ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIM”) RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE COMPANY’S SERVICES AND/OR PRODUCTS, INCLUDING THE SERVICES, AND ANY USE OR ACCESS OR LACK OF ACCESS THERETO, WILL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION, INCLUDING THRESHOLD QUESTIONS OF ARBITRABILITY OF THE CLAIM, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED HEREIN. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM WILL BE SETTLED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, USING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, ADMINISTERED BY JAMS UNDER ITS COMPREHENSIVE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES AND THE JAMS CONSUMER MINIMUM STANDARDS (TOGETHER, THE “JAMS RULES”) THEN IN EFFECT (THOSE RULES ARE DEEMED TO BE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THIS SECTION, AND AS OF THE DATE OF THESE TERMS). ARBITRATION WILL BE HANDLED BY A SOLE ARBITRATOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE JAMS RULES. JUDGMENT ON THE ARBITRATION AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT THAT HAS JURISDICTION. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS – CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO HAVE THE ARBITRATION CONDUCTED VIA TELEPHONE, OR AS AN IN-PERSON HEARING IN YOUR HOMETOWN AREA (IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES) OR ANOTHER LOCATION THAT IS REASONABLY CONVENIENT TO YOU.

WAIVER OF CLASS ARBITRATION OR ACTIONS. ANY CLAIMS YOU OR WE ASSERT UNDER THESE TERMS WILL BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE BASIS.  ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE FOR CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND YOU AND WE AGREE THAT CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THAT ANY CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANOTHER CUSTOMER OR PERSON. YOU AND WE AGREE TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS ARBITRATION AND/OR ACTION. EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY. ANY DISPUTE MUST BE INITIATED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE COMPLAINING PARTY DISCOVERS THE FACTS THAT FORM THE BASIS FOR THE CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM, OR IT IS FOREVER WAIVED.

ARBITRATION COSTS. PAYMENT FOR ANY AND ALL REASONABLE JAMS FILING, ADMINISTRATIVE AND ARBITRATOR FEES WILL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE JAMS RULES, EXCEPT THAT IF YOU DEMONSTRATE THAT ANY SUCH COSTS AND EXPENSES OWED BY YOU UNDER THOSE RULES WOULD BE PROHIBITIVELY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A COURT PROCEEDING, THE COMPANY WILL PAY THE AMOUNT OF ANY SUCH COSTS AND EXPENSES THAT THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES ARE NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE ARBITRATION FROM BEING PROHIBITIVELY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A COURT PROCEEDING (SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT AS SET FORTH BELOW).

FEES AND COSTS MAY BE AWARDED AS PROVIDED PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW. IF THE ARBITRATOR FINDS THAT EITHER THE SUBSTANCE OF YOUR CLAIM OR THE RELIEF SOUGHT IN THE DEMAND IS FRIVOLOUS OR BROUGHT FOR AN IMPROPER PURPOSE (AS MEASURED BY THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THE FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 11(B)), THEN THE PAYMENT OF ALL FEES WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE JAMS RULES. IN THAT CASE, YOU AGREE TO REIMBURSE THE COMPANY FOR ALL MONIES PREVIOUSLY DISBURSED BY IT THAT ARE OTHERWISE YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY UNDER THE APPLICABLE RULES. IF YOU PREVAIL IN THE ARBITRATION AND ARE AWARDED AN AMOUNT THAT IS LESS THAN THE LAST WRITTEN SETTLEMENT AMOUNT OFFERED BY THE COMPANY BEFORE THE ARBITRATOR WAS APPOINTED, THE COMPANY WILL PAY YOU THE AMOUNT IT OFFERED IN SETTLEMENT. THE ARBITRATOR MAY MAKE RULINGS AND RESOLVE DISPUTES AS TO THE PAYMENT AND REIMBURSEMENT OF FEES OR EXPENSES AT ANY TIME DURING THE PROCEEDING AND UPON REQUEST FROM EITHER PARTY MADE WITHIN 14 DAYS OF THE ARBITRATOR’S RULING ON THE MERITS. 

EXCEPTIONS TO ARBITRATION.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THESE TERMS TO THE CONTRARY, YOU AGREE THAT THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED IN A COURT OF PROPER JURISDICTION: 

  • DISPUTES OR CLAIMS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF A SMALL CLAIMS COURT CONSISTENT WITH THE JURISDICTIONAL AND DOLLAR LIMITS THAT MAY APPLY, AS LONG AS IT IS BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED AS AN INDIVIDUAL DISPUTE AND NOT AS A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION OR PROCEEDING; 
  • DISPUTES OR CLAIMS WHERE THE SOLE FORM OF RELIEF SOUGHT IS INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (INCLUDING PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF); OR 
  • INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DISPUTES.

SEVERABILITY.  YOU AND WE AGREE THAT IF ANY PORTION OF THIS SECTION 13 IS FOUND ILLEGAL OR UNENFORCEABLE, THAT PORTION SHALL BE SEVERED AND THE REMAINDER OF THIS SECTION 13 SHALL BE GIVEN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.

OPT-OUT. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13 BY SENDING A TIMELY WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT TO THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: Silverside Management Ltd. of Whitehall Chambers, 2nd Floor Whitehall House, 238 North Church Street, PO Box 31489, KY1-1206, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands OR BY EMAIL TO support@zeroze.ro, WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER FIRST REGISTERING AN ACCOUNT TO USE THE SERVICES OR AGREEING TO THESE TERMS; OTHERWISE YOU SHALL BE BOUND TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES ON A NON-CLASS BASIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS.  YOUR NOTICE MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU WANT TO OPT OUT OF THIS SECTION 13 OF THE TERMS. IF YOU OPT OUT OF ONLY THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS, AND NOT ALSO THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER, THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER STILL APPLIES. YOU MAY NOT OPT OUT OF ONLY THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND NOT ALSO THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. IF YOU OPT OUT OF THIS SECTION 13, ALL OTHER PARTS OF THESE TERMS WILL CONTINUE TO APPLY TO YOU.  OPTING OUT OF THIS SECTION 13 WILL NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON OTHER ARBITRATION AGREEMENTS THAT YOU MAY CURRENTLY HAVE WITH THE FOUNDATION, OR MAY ENTER INTO IN THE FUTURE WITH THE FOUNDATION.

  4. Force Majeure.  We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of our obligations under these Terms or in operating the Services, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from any events beyond our ability to control, including flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, pandemics, quarantine restrictions, tsunami, explosion, war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest, government order, law, or action, embargoes or blockades, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, shortage of adequate or suitable Internet connectivity, telecommunication breakdown, shortage of adequate power or electricity, and other similar events beyond our control.
