Mar 18, 2024

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

1. General

These terms and conditions (“Terms”) govern the use of the Website (defined below) and the Services (defined below). These Terms also include any guidelines, announcements, additional terms, policies, and disclaimers made available or issued by us from time to time. These Terms constitute a binding and enforceable legal contract between Pebble Stream PTE. LTD. and its affiliates (“Company”, “Pebble Stream”, “we”, “us”) and you, an end user of the services, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you” or “User”) at https://pebblestream.io/ (“Services”). Please note that our protocol is in Beta which is in the process of being tested before its full release. The sole purpose of this Beta version is to conduct testing and obtain feedback. We do not give any warranties, whether express or implied, as to the suitability or usability of the protocol, our Services, the Website, its software or any of its content. We will not be liable for any loss, whether such loss is direct, indirect, special or consequential, suffered by you or any party as a result of the use of the Beta protocol, its content and functionalities.

By accessing, using or clicking on our website (and all related subdomains) or its mobile applications (“Website”) or accessing, using or attempting to use the Services, you agree that you have read, understood, and are bound by these Terms and that you comply with the requirements listed herein. Please note that blockchain networks, even if Pebble Stream publishes domain names or other records to them, are controlled by third parties (who may be distributed networks of independent computers), and are therefore not included in the definition of the “Website”. If you do not agree to all of these Terms or comply with the requirements herein, please do not access or use the Website or the Services. In addition, when using some features of the Services, you may be subject to specific additional terms and conditions applicable to those features.

If you are acting for or on behalf of an entity, you hereby represent and warrant that you are authorised to accept these Terms and enter into a binding agreement with Pebble Stream on such entity’s behalf, and you accept these Terms both on behalf of such entity and on your own behalf.

Information contained in this Website is current as at the date of publication, and we may modify, suspend or discontinue the Website or the Services at any time and without notifying you. We may also change, update, add or remove provisions of these Terms from time to time. Any and all modifications or changes to these Terms will become effective upon publication on our Website or release to Users, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each of such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms to stay informed of updates. Therefore, your continued use of our Services is deemed your acceptance of the modified Terms and rules. If you do not agree to any changes to these Terms, please do not access or use the Website or the Services. We note that these Terms between you and us do not enumerate or cover all rights and obligations of each party, and do not guarantee full alignment with needs arising from future development. Therefore, our privacy policy which can be viewed at the “Privacy Policy” link at our Website, platform rules, guidelines and all other agreements entered into separately between you and us are deemed supplementary terms that are an integral part of these Terms and shall have the same legal effect. Your use of the Website or Services is deemed your acceptance of any supplementary terms, too.

This Website and the Services are not available to residents of Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, China, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Gabon, Guyana, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lesotho, Libya, Macau, Maldives, Mali, Moldova, Morocco, Namibia, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Republic of the Congo, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Republic of Korea and any other jurisdiction in which accessing or using our protocol is prohibited (each a “Restricted Country”). We reserve the right to choose markets and jurisdictions to conduct business and may restrict or refuse the access of Website and our Services in other countries or regions in our sole discretion.

2. Protocol

The Website is an interface that enables you to interact with the Protocol, which is a decentralised autonomous smart contract system deployed on certain blockchain networks (the “Protocol”). The Protocol is now available on the Sui network and may be available on one or more blockchain networks which may evolve from time to time. It is further expressly acknowledged that we neither control, nor operate, the Protocol. Any information and materials about the Protocol available on the Website are provided for information purposes only, are not binding and do not form a part of these Terms.

Given that the Protocol is comprised of smart contracts deployed on the blockchain network that operate in a decentralised and autonomous manner, these smart contracts can be reviewed, verified, used, copied, modified, and distributed by anyone (subject to the terms of the applicable licence). Accordingly, there might be other interfaces enabling interaction with the Protocol that we neither control nor are affiliated with. Furthermore, anyone can interact directly with the Protocol bypassing Pebble Stream and other interfaces. You should carefully and thoroughly review and assess the Protocol and related software before you use them, and any such use shall be at your own risk. You should always do your own research.

You further acknowledge that we do not control the Protocol, its underlying blockchain networks, and any software through which such network is formed. Pebble Stream only provides the users with the Website being an interface to access the Protocol. Accordingly, in no event shall Pebble Stream be responsible for, or held liable in connection with, the Protocol, underlying blockchain networks or software, their operation, functioning, implementation, or use, and you hereby assume and accept any and all related risks, including the risk of possible losses and damages that you may incur in connection with the use thereof.

3. Your Digital Wallet

When using the Website, you will need to create your Pebble wallet that allows you to receive digital assets and/or in-game items. Pebble Stream never receives access to or control over your digital wallet or digital assets, either in the form of tokens or non-fungible token (“NFT”) held in such digital wallet. Therefore, you are solely responsible for securing your digital wallet and credentials thereto (including transaction password and wallet recovery phrase). We are not an exchange, broker, financial institution, money services business, or creditor. We do not have custody or control over tokens, NFTs or blockchains you are interacting with, and we do not execute or effectuate purchases, transfers, or sales of tokens. You bear full responsibility for verifying the identity, legitimacy, and authenticity of tokens or NFTs that you purchase from third party sellers using the Service, and we make no claims about the identity, legitimacy, functionality, or authenticity of users or tokens or NFTs (and any content associated with such NFTs) visible on the Service.

PLEASE KEEP YOUR WALLET RECOVERY PHRASE AND TRANSACTION PASSWORD SAFE. IF YOU LOSE THE TRANSACTION PASSWORD OR RECOVERY PHRASE, YOU MAY LOSE ACCESS TO YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS.

You acknowledge that certain methods of securing your any passwords, private key(s) and wallet recovery phrase, such as storing it as a digital file on your personal device or on a cloud storage provider, may increase the risk that your account or private key(s) will be compromised. We take no responsibility whatsoever for any theft of a password, private key, wallet recovery phrase that involved intrusion into a cloud provider’s data repository. You should take all necessary precautions against the risks associated with your device, software, and network connections. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your private key or any other breach of security of your wallet.

4. Game Tokens

Eligible users of Pebble Stream may acquire, under a limited and revocable licence, our virtual in-game currency (“Game Token”) solely for use in connection with activities within Pebble Stream. You may acquire Game Tokens by (i) purchasing Game Tokens directly from us; or (ii) through contests, promotions or other means of distribution determined by us from time to time in our sole discretion in connection with the provision of our Services. Your licence to use Game Tokens will terminate upon termination of these Terms or termination of your Account (as defined below), or as otherwise provided in the Terms. All payments for Game Tokens are final and not refundable or exchangeable, except as required by applicable law.

Game Tokens do not have any equivalent value in, nor act as a substitute for, any other currency, whether real or virtual. Game Tokens do not earn interest. Transactions involving the exchange of Game Tokens for in-game items of the Services are not legally enforceable, may not form the basis of any private right of action against Pebble Stream or any user or any other third party, and are governed solely by Pebble Stream in its discretion. You acknowledge and agree that Pebble Stream may engage in actions that may impact the perceived value or acquired price of Pebble Stream at any time, and for any reason, except as prohibited by applicable law.

Any licence to Game Tokens is non-exclusive, revocable, personal, limited, non-transferable (except as specifically set out in these Terms), and permits you to use Game Tokens solely for your individual, personal, entertainment use exclusively within Pebble Stream. You may not transfer, assign, sell, gift, exchange, trade, convert, lease, sublicence, rent, or distribute Game Tokens except in accordance with these Terms or as otherwise expressly permitted by us. Any disposition or attempted disposition of Game Tokens in violation of these Terms will be void and may result in revocation of your licence to use Game Tokens and/or termination of your access to Pebble Stream. We do not recognise, condone or support any third party services that may be used to sell, exchange, transfer, or otherwise dispose of Game Tokens. Pebble Stream, in its sole discretion, may impose additional or other limits on Game Tokens, including, but not limited to, the amount that may be acquired, earned, transferred, redeemed or otherwise disposed of at any given time.
