Risks, Disclaimers, and Limitations of Liability

Terms & Conditions of Use in Candy Codex

Each User hereby acknowledges and agrees, and consents to, and assumes the risks of, the matters described in Section 15 of the Terms.

01 Third-Party Offerings and Content References, links, or referrals to or connections with or reliance on third-party resources, products, services, or content, including smart contracts developed or operated by third parties, may be provided to Users in connection with the Interface. In addition, third parties may offer promotions related to the Interface. Interface maintainers do not endorse or assume any responsibility for any activities, resources, products, services, content, or promotions owned, controlled, operated, or sponsored by third parties. If Users access any such resources, products, services, or content or participate in any such promotions, Users do so solely at their own risk. Each User hereby expressly waives and releases Interface maintainers from all liability arising from the User’s use of any such resources, products, services, or content or participation in any such promotions.

The User further acknowledges and agrees that Interface maintainers 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 the use of or reliance on any such resources, products, services, content, or promotions from third parties.

02 Cryptography Risks Cryptography is a progressing field. Advances in code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to blockchain systems, the Middleware, or tokens, including the theft, loss, or inaccessibility thereof.

03 Fork Handling The Middleware, and all tokens may be subject to Forks. Forks occur when some or all persons running the software clients for a particular blockchain system adopt a new client or a new version of an existing client that: (i) changes the protocol rules in backward-compatible or backward-incompatible manner that affects which transactions can be added into later blocks, how later blocks are added to the blockchain, or other matters relating to the future operation of the protocol; or (ii) reorganizes or changes past blocks to alter the history of the blockchain. Some forks are “contentious” and thus may result in two or more persistent alternative versions of the protocol or blockchain, either of which may be viewed as or claimed to be the legitimate or genuine continuation of the original.

Interface maintainers cannot anticipate, control or influence the occurrence or outcome of forks, and do not assume any risk, liability or obligation in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Interface maintainers do not assume any responsibility to notify a User of pending, threatened or completed forks. Interface maintainers will respond (or refrain from responding) to any forks in such manner as Interface maintainers determine in their sole and absolute discretion. Interface maintainers shall not have any duty or obligation, or liability to a User if such response (or lack of such response) acts to a User’s detriment. Each User assumes full responsibility to independently remain apprised of and informed about possible forks, and to manage the User’s own interests and risks in connection therewith.

04 Essential Third-Party Software Dependencies The Middleware and other relevant blockchain systems and smart contracts are public software utilities that are accessible directly through any compatible third-party node or indirectly through any compatible third-party “wallet” application that interacts with such a node. Interacting with the Middleware does not require the use of the Interface, but the Interface is only a convenient and user-friendly option of reading and displaying data from the Middleware and generating standard draft transaction messages compatible with the Middleware. The User may choose to interact with the Middleware using softwares other than the Interface. As the Interface does not provide wallet software applications or nodes for blockchain systems, such software constitutes an essential third-party software and user dependency without which the Middleware cannot be used and tokens cannot be traded or used. Furthermore, the Interface may use APIs and servers of Interface maintainers or third parties and there are no guarantees as to the continued operation, maintenance, availability, or security of any of the foregoing dependencies.

05 Tax Issues The tax consequences of purchasing, selling, holding, transferring, or locking tokens or otherwise utilizing the Middleware are uncertain and may vary by jurisdiction. Interface Maintainers have undertaken no due diligence or investigation into such tax consequences, and assume no obligation or liability to optimize, facilitate or bear the tax consequences to any person.

06 Legal Limitations on Disclaimers Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, or the limitation or exclusion of certain liabilities, and damages. Accordingly, some of the disclaimers and limitations set forth in these Terms may not apply in full to specific Users. The disclaimers and limitations of liability provided in these terms shall apply to the fullest extent as permitted by applicable law.

07 Indemnification Each User shall defend, indemnify, compensate, reimburse and hold harmless the Interface maintainers from any claim, demand, action, damage, loss, cost or expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out or relating to (a) User's use of, or conduct in connection with, the Interface; (b) User's violation of these Terms or any other applicable policy or contract of Interface maintainers; or (c) User's violation of any rights of any other person or entity.
