Terms of Service

Last updated: March 30, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Minty (“the Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Platform.

2. Description of Service

Minty is a decentralized application that enables users to create, mint, and share ERC-1155 NFTs on the Base blockchain. The Platform provides tools for uploading content, deploying smart contracts, and facilitating transactions between users. The Platform is operated by an individual developer, not a corporation or registered entity.

3. User Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

  • All content you upload, create, or distribute through the Platform
  • Ensuring your content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights
  • Complying with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction
  • Maintaining the security of your wallet and private keys
  • All transactions you initiate on the blockchain
  • Determining any tax obligations arising from your use of the Platform

4. Prohibited Content

You may not use the Platform to upload, create, mint, or distribute content that:

  • Is illegal in any applicable jurisdiction
  • Contains child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or exploits minors in any way
  • Infringes copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights
  • Contains malware, phishing links, or other malicious code
  • Promotes violence, terrorism, or hate speech
  • Is fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading
  • Violates any person's privacy or data protection rights

We reserve the right to remove any content and block any user that violates these terms, without prior notice and at our sole discretion. You have no right of appeal.

5. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of the content you upload. By using the Platform, you grant Minty a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and cache your content solely for the purpose of operating the Platform. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to upload and distribute all content you submit.

6. Fees and Transactions

The Platform charges protocol and affiliate fees on NFT sales, as configured in the smart contracts. All fees are transparently enforced on-chain. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that:

  • Blockchain transactions are irreversible — we cannot reverse, cancel, or refund any transaction
  • Gas fees are paid by you and are non-refundable
  • Fee percentages may be adjusted by the protocol owner at any time without notice
  • You bear all financial risk associated with blockchain transactions

7. Not Financial Advice

Nothing on the Platform constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. NFTs are not securities, investments, or financial instruments. NFTs may have zero monetary value. Minty makes no representations or warranties regarding the current or future value of any NFT created or traded through the Platform. You should not purchase, mint, or trade NFTs for speculative or investment purposes. Consult a qualified professional before making any financial decisions.

8. Smart Contract Risks

You acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of interacting with blockchain-based smart contracts, including but not limited to:

  • Bugs, vulnerabilities, or exploits in smart contract code
  • Loss of funds due to contract failures or blockchain issues
  • Irreversibility of transactions once confirmed on-chain
  • Network congestion, outages, or forks affecting Base or Ethereum
  • Bridge risks if assets move between chains
  • Changes to the Base or Ethereum protocols that may affect functionality

You interact with smart contracts entirely at your own risk. We do not audit, guarantee, or take responsibility for the behavior of any smart contract deployed through or interacting with the Platform.

9. No Warranties

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS INCLUDES:

  • No warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
  • No guarantee that the Platform will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or available at any time
  • No guarantee of the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content on the Platform
  • No guarantee that smart contracts will function as intended or expected
  • No guarantee that the Platform, or any part of it, will continue to operate — the Platform may be discontinued permanently at any time without notice
  • No guarantee that data stored on-chain or off-chain will be preserved or accessible

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties. In such jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MINTY, ITS OPERATOR, OR ANY AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Loss of funds, cryptocurrency, or digital assets
  • Loss of data, content, or access to the Platform
  • Loss of profits, revenue, or business opportunities
  • Personal injury or property damage
  • Any damages arising from unauthorized access to or alteration of your data

THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY — WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY — AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF MINTY AND ITS OPERATOR FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED FIFTY DOLLARS ($50 USD) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO USE THE PLATFORM IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

THESE LIMITATIONS ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND MINTY.

11. Content Moderation and Takedowns

We may, at our sole and absolute discretion, remove content, disable access to collections, or block users who violate these Terms, for any reason or no reason, without prior notice. We have no obligation to monitor content, respond to reports, or explain our decisions. If you believe content on the Platform infringes your rights, you may contact us, but we do not guarantee any response or action.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Minty, its operator, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to:
  • Your use of the Platform
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any third-party rights
  • Any content you upload, mint, or distribute
  • Any dispute between you and another user

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, for any reason or no reason, without prior notice or liability. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. Sections 9 through 15 survive termination.

14. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

15. General Provisions

Governing Law. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable in the operator's jurisdiction, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

No Waiver. Failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Minty regarding the Platform and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

No Class Actions. You agree to resolve any disputes with Minty on an individual basis and waive any right to bring or participate in a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights hereunder. Minty may assign these Terms at any time without restriction.
