Acceptance of the Terms of Service
These Terms of Service are entered into by and between you (“you,” or “user”) and Geo Web Network, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("we," or "us" or “our” or “Company”). The terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, "Terms of Service"), govern your access to and use of http://geoweb.network/, https://geoweb.land/, https://geoweb.app/, geoweb.eth, cadastre.eth, including any content, functionality, and services concerning your use of (including any access to) our websites, mobile applications, web applications, decentralized applications, and APIs located at any of our websites (together with any materials and services available therein, and successor website(s) or application(s) thereto, the "Application").

The Geo Web is an open information network used to publish and browse digital media associated with physical locations (the “Network”). Publishing rights within the Network are administered under a market system known as partial common ownership that is implemented via open-source smart contracts. Proceeds of the resulting digital land market are retained in the Network smart contracts until they are allocated through decentralized governance and/or market mechanisms. The functionality of the Network is defined by certain core protocols, that include smart contracts that define land market operations and public goods funding allocation mechanisms (“Protocols”).

The Company is an organization that contributes open-source code and intellectual property to the Network. The Company maintains websites, interfaces, tools, integrations, databases, and APIs which are distinct from, but interact with the Network.

Sophistication and Risk of Cryptographic Systems
By utilizing the services or interacting with the Application in any way, you represent that you understand the inherent risks associated with cryptographic systems; and warrant that you have an understanding of the usage and intricacies of native cryptographic tokens, like Ether (ETH) , smart contract based tokens such as those that follow the Ethereum Token Standard (https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/20), the Optimism network, and other blockchain-based software systems.

The Company does not own or control any of the underlying software through which blockchain networks are formed. In general, the underlying software for blockchain networks tends to be open source such that anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute it. By using our Application, you acknowledge and agree (i) that the Company is not responsible for operation of the underlying software and networks that there exists no guarantee of functionality, security, or availability of such software and networks; and (ii) that the underlying protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules (known as “ Forks ”), and that such Forks may materially affect the Services. It might be discretionarily decided not to support (or cease supporting) the Forked network entirely. You acknowledge and agree that the Company assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever in respect of any underlying software protocols, whether Forked or not.

Underlying networks use public/private key cryptography. You alone are responsible for securing your private key(s). The Company does not have access to your private key(s). Losing control of your private key will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to digital assets on the Ethereum blockchain or other network. Neither the Company nor any other person will be able to retrieve or protect your funds. Once your private key(s) is lost, you will not be able to transfer your digital assets to any other address or wallet. If this occurs, you will not be able to realize any value or utility that you may hold now or in future. Further, we do not offer any custodial wallet services.

By using the services or accessing the site, you acknowledge these inherent risks.

Volatility of Digital Assets
You understand that blockchain technologies and associated digital assets, currencies or tokens are highly volatile due to many factors including but not limited to adoption, speculation, technology and security risks.

Instead, you and the Company will arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it, instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).

As limited by the FAA, this Agreement and applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have: (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute; and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court.
