General Information

The Platform is a decentralized movement driving planet positive impact. Through the voting mechanisms used by the Platform, a decentralized community leverages social coordination and transparent blockchain-based solutions to manage certain climate impact initiatives.

The Platform utilizes a Digital Asset called BETTER, which enables holders thereof to, among other things, vote on certain activities of Better.

Users are solely responsible for the management, protection, and security of their own wallets and validating all transactions and smart contracts generated by the Platform before confirming purchase or transfer of any Digital Asset. There is no way that a Digital Asset transaction can be undone or reversed. Accordingly, transactions made through the Platform cannot be reversed. Better bears no liability or responsibility for Digital Assets sent to an incorrect or incompatible wallet address.

 
Ownership of Digital Assets

You own the Digital Assets you create, acquire, or purchase on the Platform.  Ownership of Digital Assets are mediated entirely by smart contracts and the underlying blockchain network. Better will never seize, freeze, or otherwise modify the ownership of any Digital Asset unless required by applicable law. Except as required by a facially valid court order, instructed by you, or except as provided herein, Better will not sell, transfer, loan, hypothecate, or otherwise alienate your Digital Assets.

Title to your Digital Assets will at all times remain with you and will not transfer to Better. None of your Digital Assets are the property of, or will or may be loaned to, Better. As the owner of your Digital Assets, you will bear all risk of loss of Digital Assets. Better does not represent or treat your Digital Assets as belonging to Better. Better will have no liability for fluctuations in the value of Digital Assets created, minted, purchased, acquired, or made available on the Platform.

 
User Accounts

While you may always browse public-facing portions of the Platform without registering an account with us, in order to access certain portions of the Platform, Better may require you to register an account with us (“Account”). You are responsible for the security of your Account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur through the use of your credentials. You agree to notify us immediately at legal@betterdao.io if you suspect or know of any unauthorized use of your log-in credentials or any other breach of security with respect to your Account. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of your credentials. You may be required to create and provide separate log-in credentials to access third-party services.

To access the Platform or some of the features it offers, you may be required to provide registration details or other information, including personal information. You must ensure that any information you provide on the Platform is accurate, up-to-date, and complete. You agree that any information you provide to Better in order to create an account to use the Platform, including, but not limited to, using any features on the Platform, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to any actions that we may take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to disallow, cancel, remove, or reassign certain usernames and other information associated with an Account in appropriate circumstances, as determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion, and may, with or without prior notice, suspend or terminate your Account if activities occur on your Account which would or might constitute a violation of this Agreement, cause damage to or impair the Platform, infringe or violate any third-party rights, damage or bring into disrepute the reputation of Better, or violate applicable law. These determinations will be made in Better’s sole and absolute discretion. If messages sent to the email address you provide are returned as undeliverable, then we may terminate your Account immediately without notice to you and without any liability to you or any third-party.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account or devices you use to access the Platform. You are also responsible for maintaining the security of your wallet(s), and for ensuring that no unauthorized person has access to your wallet(s), any private keys, or any devices that you utilize in connection with the Platform.

We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your Account or your wallet(s).

User Generated Content

Better makes no representation that content and materials on Platform are appropriate, lawful or available for use in any jurisdiction. Individuals who choose to access or use the Platform do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable law.

Certain features on the Platform may allow you to create or mint (collectively, “Mint”) Digital Assets on the Platform or you may otherwise directly or indirectly provide content to Better subject to intellectual property or similar applicable law (“User Content”). For all User Content that you Mint or provide on the Platform, you grant us (and those third-parties we work with) a worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable and sublicensable license to use, exploit, host, store, transmit, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of (such as those resulting from changes we make so that your User Content works better with our Platform), publish, display, and distribute such content; provided that we will not share with other users any User Content that you Mint or provide us on the Platform that is not viewable by other users based on any privacy settings available on the Platform. The rights you grant in this section are for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Platform and this license continues even if you stop using our Platform.

By Minting or providing User Content on the Platform, you are representing and warranting that you have all rights to use the intellectual property of any third-parties. We are under no obligation to edit or control User Content, and will not be in any way responsible or liable for User Content. Better may, however, at any time and without prior notice, filter, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Content that, in our sole and absolute discretion, violates this Agreement, applicable law or is otherwise objectionable. User Content that Better determines is or could be interpreted to be abusive, bigoted, defamatory, harassing, harmful, infringing, obscene, offensive, pornographic, racist, threatening, unlawful, vulgar or otherwise inappropriate (collectively, “Offensive Content”) may be screened, removed, edited, or blocked. Further, we may take any action we deem necessary and/or appropriate against any user who posts Offensive Content, including, but not limited to, suspending or terminating the user’s Account.

 
Fees and Payment

You agree to pay for any products and / or services we provide on the Platform, including, but not limited to, any Digital Assets sold on the Platform, by submitting the applicable purchase price in the amount and in the form set forth on the Platform. In the event that such payments are made with cryptocurrency, we will have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any transactions. Better will have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any transactions that you engage or any other transactions that you conduct via the applicable blockchain. Purchases are not refundable under any circumstances.

The underling blockchain(s) may require the payment of a transaction fee (“Gas Fee”) for every transaction that occurs on the network. The Gas Fee funds the network of computers that run the applicable decentralized blockchain. This means that you will need to pay a Gas Fee for each transaction.

Acknowledgment of Risk

You accept and acknowledge each of the following:

• To the extent that you buy or sell Digital Assets on the Platform, please be aware that the prices of Digital Assets are extremely volatile and fluctuations in the prices of other Digital Assets and impact the price of your Digital Asset both positively and negatively. Given the volatility, Digital Assets should not be considered an investment. You assume all risks in that regard.

It remains your sole responsibility to assure that the purchase of the Digital Asset and the associated art and hardware is in compliance with laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
• You assume all risks associated with using digital currency and Digital Assets, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your wallet.
• Digital Assets, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technology are relatively new and the regulatory landscape is unsettled. New regulations could negatively impact such technologies impacting the value for your Digital Assets. You understand and accept all risk in that regard.
