You and the Company agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and the Company and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
Except for claims the Company seeks injunctive or other equitable relief, you and the Company waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Website, or our Services resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against the Company or relating in any way to these Terms, the Website, or the Services, you agree to first contact the Company and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to the Company by email at legal@spaceandtime.io. The Notice must include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number, describe the nature and basis of the claim and set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and the Company cannot reach an agreement through negotiation to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All disputes submitted to AAA will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in Orange County, CA, in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator shall have the power to award specific performance or injunctive relief and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses to any Party in any such arbitration. However, the arbitrators shall not have the power to change, modify, or alter any expressed condition, term, or provision of this Agreement, and to that extent, the scope of their authority is limited. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the Parties and the judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
The arbitrator, the Company, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the disputes. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
In no event shall any dispute brought by either party related in any way to the Terms, the Website, or our Services be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.
If any portion of this Section 14 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms, severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 14 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis under this Section 14, and to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 14 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 14 will be enforceable.
These Terms and any dispute related to these Terms, the Website or the Services will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its choice of law principles to the contrary.

The Space and Time Network may compete with these alternative Space and Time-based networks, which could potentially negatively impact the Space and Time Network, the Services and/or the Token.
Risk of Insufficient Interest in the Space and Time Network or Distributed Applications: It is possible that the Space and Time Network will not be used by a large number of external businesses, individuals, and other organizations and that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of distributed applications. Such a lack of interest could impact the development of the Space and Time Network and potential uses of Tokens. The Company cannot predict the success of its own development efforts or the efforts of other third parties.
Risk that the Website and Services, as Developed, Will Not Meet the Expectations of User: You recognize that the Website, Services and the Space and Time Network are under development and may undergo significant changes over time. You acknowledge that any expectations regarding the form and functionality of the Space and Time Network held by you may not be met for any number of reasons including a change in the design and implementation plans, specifications and execution of the implementation of the Website, Services or the Space and Time Network.
Risk of Security Weaknesses in the Space and Time Network Core Infrastructure Software: Certain portions of the Website, Services and the Space and Time Network may rest on open-source software, and there is a risk that the Indemnified Parties, or other third parties not directly affiliated with the Company, may introduce weaknesses or bugs into the core infrastructural elements of the Website, Services or the Space and Time Network causing the system to lose Tokens stored in one or more of your accounts or other accounts or lose sums of other valued tokens. Furthermore, despite our good faith efforts to develop and maintain the Website, Services and the Space and Time Network, the Website, Services and the Space and Time Network may experience malfunctions or otherwise fail to be adequately developed or maintained, which may negatively impact the Website, Services, the Space and Time Network and Tokens.
Risk of Weaknesses or Exploitable Breakthroughs in the Field of Cryptography: Cryptography is an art, not a science. And the state of the art can advance over time. Advances in code cracking, hacking or cybersecurity breaches, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could present risks to cryptocurrencies and the Website, Services and the Space and Time Network which could result in the theft or loss of Tokens. To the extent within its control and otherwise possible, the Company intends to update the protocol underlying the Services and the Space and Time Network to account for any advances in cryptography and to incorporate additional security measures, but it cannot predict the future of cryptography or guarantee that any security updates will be made in a timely or successful manner.
Risk of Blockchain Network Attacks: Any blockchain used for the Services and/or the Space and Time Network may be susceptible to mining attacks, including but not limited to: double-spend attacks, viruses, network forks, replay attacks, reorganizations, majority mining power attacks, “selfish-mining” attacks, and work race condition attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the Services, the Space and Time Network, expected proper execution and sequencing of transactions, and expected proper execution and sequencing of contract computations. Known or novel mining attacks may be successful.
Risk of Rapid Adoption and Insufficiency of Computational Application Processing Power of the Services and the Space and Time Network: If the Services and/or the Company Network are rapidly adopted, the demand for transaction processing and distributed application computations could rise dramatically and at a pace that exceeds the rate with which Company services can be provided. Under such a scenario, the Services and Space and Time Network could become destabilized, due to the increased cost of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest in the Services, the Space and Time Network and Tokens. Insufficiency of computational resources and an associated rise in the price of Tokens could result in businesses being unable to acquire scarce computational resources to run their distributed applications. This could result in lost revenues and disruption or halting of business operations.
Risks Associated with New and Evolving Laws: The Space and Time Network, and by extension the Website and Services, may be subject to a variety of international laws and regulations, including those with respect to financial or securities regulations, consumer privacy, data protection, consumer protection, content regulation, network neutrality, cyber security, data protection, intellectual property (including copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws), defamation, and others. Such laws, regulations and policy could change. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting the Space and Time Network could be enacted. As the Website, Services and Space and Time Network evolve, we may be subject to new laws, and the application of existing laws to us might change. These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a significant portion of the Company’s attention and resources or restrict the way the Company may operate. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations, we could receive negative publicity and be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely impact the Website, Services, and the Space and Time Network and Tokens. Additionally, Company node operators of the Space and Time Network may be subject to industry specific laws and regulations or licensing requirements. If any of these parties fails to comply with any of these licensing requirements or other applicable laws or regulations, or if such laws and regulations or licensing requirements become more stringent or are otherwise expanded, the Space and Time Network and/or Tokens could be adversely impacted.
Market Risks: Tokens are intended to be used solely in connection with the Space and Time Network, and we do not support or otherwise facilitate any secondary trading or external valuation of Tokens. This restricts the contemplated avenues for using Tokens, and could therefore create illiquidity risk to Tokens you hold. Even if secondary trading of Tokens is facilitated by third party exchanges, such exchanges may be relatively new and subject to little or no regulatory oversight, making them more susceptible to market-related risks. Furthermore, to the extent that third parties do ascribe an external exchange value to Tokens (e.g., as denominated in a digital or fiat currency), such value may be extremely volatile and diminish to zero.
Specific Risks Relating to Value and Function of Tokens: The utility benefits of using Tokens to access services provided by Company node operators can only materialize through user-driven adoption over time. Such adoption depends on a variety of factors, including the pace of user adoption, the organic community-driven expansion of the Space and Time Network. As such, the extent of user adoption is entirely outside of our control and cannot be stated with any certainty. The price of Tokens may fluctuate in response to competitive and market conditions affecting the general supply of and demand for user-requested services. These conditions are beyond our control. The value of Tokens on the Space and Time Network may be lower than the price at which it was purchased. The utility of Tokens, and any value associated with that utility, will depend on the ability of the Space and Time Network to adequately facilitate user-requested services. Inadequate supply may result in such services taking more time, while inadequate demand may make it difficult to obtain services, both of which may discourage participation in the Space and Time Network. The compensation for providing Company node services in the Space and Time Network will depend on the resale price for the Tokens received for such services, which may be lower than the compensation that might have been received through other arrangements. No promises of future performance or value are or will be made with respect to Token, including no promise of inherent value, no promise of continuing payments, and no guarantee that Token will hold any particular value.
Unanticipated Risks: Cryptographic tokens such as Tokens are a new and untested technology. In addition to the risks included in these Terms, there are other risks associated with the Services, the Space and Time Network and Tokens, including those that the Company cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialize as unanticipated variations or combinations of the risks discussed in these Terms.
