Terms and Conditions

 

Modified: September 21, 2022

 

DISCLAIMER: THE VALUE OF NFTS AND DIGITAL REWARDS ARE DERIVED FROM SUPPLY AND DEMAND IN THE GLOBAL MARKETPLACE, WHICH CAN RISE OR FALL INDEPENDENT OF ANY GOVERNMENT CURRENCY. HOLDING NFTS AND DIGITAL REWARDS CARRIES EXCHANGE RATE AND OTHER TYPES OF RISK. THE VALUE OF NFTS AND DIGITAL REWARDS MAY BE DERIVED FROM THE CONTINUED WILLINGNESS OF MARKET PARTICIPANTS TO EXCHANGE TRADITIONAL GOVERNMENT CURRENCY FOR DIGITAL REWARDS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR PERMANENT AND TOTAL LOSS OF VALUE OF A PARTICULAR DIGITAL REWARD SHOULD THE MARKET DISAPPEAR. THE VOLATILITY AND UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE PRICE AND VALUE OF NFTS AND DIGITAL REWARDS, RELATIVE TO GOVERNMENT CURRENCY, MAY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. LIBERTY DOES NOT AND CANNOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANT THE VALUE OF ANY NFT, DIGITAL REWARD OR BLOCKCHAIN, INCLUDING THE LIBERTY BLOCKCHAIN AND LIBERTY REWARD, AND EXPLICITLY WARNS THE USER THAT THAT THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT ANY NFT, DIGITAL REWARD, OR BLOCKCHAIN REWARD WILL INCREASE IN VALUE, AND THAT THEY MAY HOLD NO VALUE, DECREASE IN VALUE, OR ENTIRELY LOSE VALUE.

 

General Terms and Affirmation: These Terms and Conditions constitute the User Agreement and Terms of Service (hereafter the “Terms & Conditions” or this “Agreement”) between Liberty United DAO LLC (referred to as “LIBERTY”) and any person, customer, or entity (referred as the “User”, “You,” “Your,”) utilizing the website, https://www.libertyblockchain.com (hereafter the “Site”), LIBERTY Blockchain, Ghost Phone, and any products, features and services provided thereon as defined below (“LIBERTY Services”). These Terms & Conditions do not create any agency, partnership, or joint venture between LIBERTY and User. By signing up for an account through LIBERTY or any LIBERTY owned websites, APIs, or mobile applications, the User has read and consents to these Terms & Conditions. The User also agrees to LIBERTY’s Privacy Policy. These Terms & Conditions may be amended and updated from time to time at the sole discretion of LIBERTY. Revised versions will be considered effective as of the date and time posted on the LIBERTY Site. Your access to or use of the LIBERTY Services or Site indicates your acceptance of these Terms & Conditions. You are agreeing to use the Site and the LIBERTY Services at your own risk.

Terms found in this Agreement that relate to the LIBERTY Services or LIBERTY content, features, or functionality that are not available in your home jurisdiction are not applicable to you unless and until they become available to you. Certain LIBERTY Services available to you in your home jurisdiction may not be available to you when traveling outside of your home jurisdiction.

 

USER AFFIRMS HE/SHE IS OVER THE AGE OF 18 OR THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY WHERE THE USER RESIDES IF THAT JURISDICTION HAS AN OLDER AGE OF MAJORITY, AS THE LIBERTY APP AND LIBERTY SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER AGE 18 OR THOSE THAT HAVE NOT REACHED THE AGE OF MAJORITY.

 

1. LIBERTY SERVICES.

LIBERTY is a decentralized distributed application on a blockchain network, using smart contracts (each a “Smart Contract”) to enable its Users to own, buy, sell, transfer, and share unique digital rewards that can be visualized on the Site through the LIBERTY App. To use the LIBERTY Services, you need compatible hardware, software (latest version recommended and sometimes required) and Internet access (depending on the Service). The LIBERTY Services’ performance may be affected by these factors.

 

 

1.1 LIBERTY Node. LIBERTY Node is a computer software and/or hardware system connected to the LIBERTY Blockchain. The LIBERTY Node supports blockchain work by maintaining the cryptography and confirming transactions on the LIBERTY Blockchain. It is foreseeable that at the option of the User, the LIBERTY Node may be recommissioned by the User to support other blockchains or other technologies.  Used herein, “LIBERTY Node” may represent either the node itself or a license the User obtains to run the node.  The LIBERTY Nodes when combined form the “LIBERTY Node Network.”

 

1.2 LIBERTY Blockchain. The LIBERTY Blockchain allows each User to store digital rewards, and other attributes on the LIBERTY Blockchain public ledger that allows for decentralized, immutable record of ownership. When a User purchases, earns, or receives any digital reward through the Smart Contract process, the User owns completely and outright the digital reward.

1.3 LIBERTY Ghost Phone. The LIBERTY Ghost Phone offering consists of an Android Phone with its own unique operating system LibertOS, and access to Unplugged’s  special secure App Suite.

 

1.3.1 Liberty Ghost Regiment. The LIBERTY Ghost Regiment is an exclusive club for individuals who pre-order the LIBERTY Ghost Phone.

 

1.4 LIBERTY Reward. Each User of any service on the LIBERTY Blockchain and associated LIBERTY Node may be able to earn the LIBERTY Reward. The LIBERTY Reward is a digital reward and not a security token. The LIBERTY Services and Site are not being offered to investors and there is no Initial Coin Offering (ICO) to promote LIBERTY. Like BTC (which is the digital reward generated from the Bitcoin Blockchain), LIBERTY is created through a unique blockchain protocol. Although LIBERTY Reward may one day have market adoption, its utility may reside solely within the LIBERTY Blockchain, and may or may not have value.

 

1.5 LIBERTY App

1.5.1. LIBERTY will provide each User with a LIBERTY App to serve as the User’s wallet. LIBERTY will never take custody or control over any digital rewards stored in a User’s LIBERTY App. The LIBERTY App does not store, send or receive any NFT or digital reward, but such transactions occur directly on the LIBERTY Blockchain or other supported blockchains. Instead of the LIBERTY App, the User may use any compatible digital app or wallet provided by a third-party company that safely connects to the LIBERTY Blockchain. A User may be able to use the LIBERTY App or other compatible wallet to send and receive digital rewards with other users of the LIBERTY Blockchain. LIBERTY does not offer any User the ability to exchange one form of currency for any other form of currency (fiat or digital). LIBERTY App is not a custodian, exchange or money transmitter.

1.5.2. When a User creates a LIBERTY App, the LIBERTY Blockchain software generates a cryptographic private key and public key pair that the User must use to send and receive any digital reward supported on the LIBERTY Blockchain. The User is solely responsible for storing and keeping secret, outside of LIBERTY’s Services, a backup of any User’s LIBERTY App credentials, private key(s), passwords, and transaction information that the User maintains in the LIBERTY App or otherwise with the LIBERTY Services.  It is recommended that User backup its LIBERTY App. If the User does not backup the LIBERTY App, the User may not be able to access the LIBERTY App in the event that LIBERTY discontinues some or all of the LIBERTY Services. Any digital reward a User has stored within its LIBERTY App may become inaccessible if the User does not know or keep secret its LIBERTY App keys and passwords. LIBERTY does not receive or store a User’s app passwords, PIN, keys, network addresses or transaction history. LIBERTY cannot assist any User with app password or key retrieval. Any third party with knowledge of one or more of a User’s credentials (including, without limitation, a backup phrase, app identifier, password, or keys) can dispose of the Digital reward in the User’s app.

1.5.3. For a transaction to be validated on the LIBERTY Blockchain, any LIBERTY transaction through the LIBERTY App must be confirmed and recorded in the distributed ledger associated with the LIBERTY Blockchain. The LIBERTY Blockchain is a decentralized, peer-to-peer network supported by the users of the LIBERTY Blockchain, which is not owned, controlled or operated by LIBERTY.

1.5.4. LIBERTY has no control over digital rewards generated through the LIBERTY Blockchain, and cannot ensure that any transaction details a User submits via the LIBERTY Services and LIBERTY App will be confirmed or processed on the LIBERTY Blockchain. The User agrees and understands that the transaction details submitted by the User via the LIBERTY Services and LIBERTY App may not be completed or may be delayed by the LIBERTY Blockchain or any supporting blockchain used to process the transaction. LIBERTY does not guarantee that the LIBERTY App can transfer title or right in any NFT or digital reward, and LIBERTY makes no warranties of title of any kind. Once transaction details have been submitted to the LIBERTY Blockchain, LIBERTY cannot assist the User to cancel or otherwise modify such transaction or details.

1.5.5. In the event of a fork of the LIBERTY Blockchain or any other supported blockchain, LIBERTY may not be able to support the User’s activity related to LIBERTY or any other supported NFT or digital reward. The User agrees and understands that in the event of a fork of the LIBERTY Blockchain, any transaction associated with the LIBERTY App or LIBERTY Services may not be completed, may be partially completed, incorrectly completed, or substantially delayed. LIBERTY is not responsible for any loss incurred by any User caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by a fork of the LIBERTY Blockchain.

1.5.6. LIBERTY does not currently charge a fee for the LIBERTY App, receiving, sending, or storing NFT (when available) and digital rewards. However, LIBERTY reserves the right to do so in the future, and in such case any applicable fees will be displayed prior to the User incurring such fee. Notwithstanding, the LIBERTY Blockchain may have Blockchain Transaction Fees required to transact digital reward transactions through the LIBERTY Blockchain. LIBERTY may attempt to calculate for the User any Blockchain Transactions Fees, though such calculation may be inaccurate or excessive. The User may select a greater or lesser fee, and the User is solely responsible for paying any Blockchain Transaction Fees required on the LIBERTY Blockchain. LIBERTY will neither advance nor fund any Blockchain Transaction Fee on any User’s behalf, nor be responsible for any excess or insufficient fee calculation.

1.5.7 The User shall be responsible for all activities that occur through the LIBERTY APP and accepts all risks of any authorized or unauthorized access to the LIBERTY app, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The User represents and warrants that the User is familiar with and accepts the risks associated with digital apps and private keys, including the risks described herein.

1.5.8.  From time to time, there may be programs in place to allow User to receive a reward, in the form of LIBERTY Reward, NFT, or otherwise, based on actions taken by the User, whether it be by referral or other program in place at the time (“Additional Rewards”).  User understands that LIBERTY makes no representations or warrants regarding the Additional Rewards.  Notwithstanding or limiting the foregoing, LIBERTY further makes no representations or warrants surrounding the operation of any LIBERTY Services or that said LIBERTY Services/Additional Rewards will be error-free or uninterrupted.  User accepts the sole responsibility for taking any and all actions to obtain any Additional Rewards, and holds LIBERTY harmless for any opportunity cost or losses that occur as a result of the non-receipt of anticipated Additional Rewards, monetary or otherwise.

 

2. PAYMENT TERMS.

You can use the LIBERTY Services for free or for a charge, either of which is a “LIBERTY Transaction.” Each LIBERTY Transaction is an electronic contract between you and LIBERTY and/or you and the entity providing the LIBERTY Service as contracted by LIBERTY. LIBERTY will charge your selected payment method for any LIBERTY Transaction that requires payment. If your chosen payment method cannot be charged for any reason (such as expiration or insufficient funds), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts, and we may attempt to charge you again or request that you provide another payment method. Unless otherwise provided, all LIBERTY Transactions are non-refundable and final.

 

 

2.1. Annual License and Monthly Service Fees.
The User shall pay a one-time LIBERTY Node license fee and the then-current monthly service fee(s) for LIBERTY Services. LIBERTY or any of its affiliates or third parties may be the party that sells the software or hardware for any LIBERTY Node.

2.2. Software License.

The User may be required to enter into a software license agreement with LIBERTY or any third party for the use of any required software for each LIBERTY Node. The User shall pay all associated software license fees.

2.3. Maintenance and Hosting Fees.

LIBERTY does not maintain or host any LIBERTY Node, but may refer the User to one or more third-party hosting companies that may or may not be affiliated with LIBERTY. If the User elects and is part of a separate hosting agreement, the User may be required to pay certain data center operations, maintenance and power fees (“Maintenance Fees”). These Maintenance Fees may be deducted from the User’s digital rewards or LIBERTY Reward with the consent of LIBERTY, at LIBERTY’s discretion. Users are responsible for any reversals, chargebacks, claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by User resulting or arising out of the User’s election to use a third-party hosting company.

2.4. Blockchain Transaction Fees.

The delivery and receipt of any of the User’s digital rewards through the LIBERTY App may be subject to network or transaction fees charged by the blockchain associated with the User-selected algorithm (“Blockchain Transaction Fees”), which are non-refundable. Blockchain Transaction Fees are paid to emit, record, verify, and process a transaction on the blockchain. Any withdrawal or transfer of the User’s digital rewards may be subject to Blockchain Transaction Fees.

2.5. Other Third-Party Fees.

Certain digital apps, app addresses, tools, and third-party software and devices (“Third-Party Fees”) used by the User may also charge the User a fee, including a per transaction or transfer fee, which are non-refundable. The User is responsible for satisfying any such fee(s). The User should note that any such fees may significantly reduce the User’s rewards and therefore the User is responsible for managing the selection, use, rate and frequency of their receipt of rewards to any such Third-Party Fees.

2.6. Taxes.

The User is responsible for any taxes, and the User will pay for LIBERTY Services without any reduction for taxes. If the User is required by law to withhold any taxes from its payments to LIBERTY, the User must provide LIBERTY with an official tax receipt or other qualified documentation to support such withholding, including value added tax (“VAT”), if applicable. The User will be liable to pay (or reimburse LIBERTY) for any taxes, interest, penalties or fines which may arise from any mis-declaration made by the User. The User shall pay LIBERTY for all taxes and governmental fees LIBERTY is required to collect or pay upon sale or delivery of LIBERTY Services.

 

POTENTIAL USERS OF NFTS, DIGITAL REWARDS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BITCOIN, ARE FOREWARNED OF POSSIBLE FINANCIAL LOSS AT THE TIME SUCH REWARDS ARE EXCHANGED FOR FIAT CURRENCY DUE TO AN UNFAVORABLE EXCHANGE RATE. MOREOVER, A FAVORABLE EXCHANGE RATE AT THE TIME OF EXCHANGE MAY RESULT IN A TAX LIABILITY. USERS SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR REGARDING ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PURCHASE, SALE, TRADE, OR OTHER USE OF DIGITAL REWARDS. USER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY APPLICABLE TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PURCHASE, SALE, TRADE, OR OTHER USE OF NFTS, DIGITAL REWARDS, OR VIRTUAL CURRENCIES.

3.2 Software and Equipment Allocation.

The User is responsible for the allocation of the User’s software and equipment and selected optimization strategies and decisions. The User acknowledges that LIBERTY is not responsible for the selection or timing of blockchain protocols, nor is LIBERTY responsible for the protocols selected for use in connection with LIBERTY Services. The User is solely responsible for these decisions. The User acknowledges that the node transactions on any blockchain may vary and will not be uniform across each LIBERTY Node. The User acknowledges that the difficulty of mining may vary and will likely increase over time.

 

3.3. Log-in Credentials.

The User represents and warrants that the User is responsible for the preservation of confidentiality of the User’s login credentials on the LIBERTY App and any other login for the LIBERTY Services. Login credentials generated for the User by LIBERTY are for the User’s internal use only and the User is strictly prohibited from selling, transferring, or sub-licensing them to any other entity or person.

3.4. Blockchain Network Risk.

The User represents and warrants that the User accepts the risks of blockchain protocol and network, including instability, congestion, high transaction costs, network latency, information security, regulatory risk, and technological and operational error.

The User represents and agrees that LIBERTY is not responsible for any diminished LIBERTY Services, related features, or capabilities resulting from blockchain network risk. In the event of a material increase or decrease to Blockchain Transaction Fees, Third Party Fees, or operational degradation, congestion, failure or other disruption of the blockchain network used by the User, LIBERTY may, at its sole discretion and upon notice to the User, make any adjustments to the LIBERTY Services.

3.5. Blockchain Modification Risk.

The User represents and warrants that the User is familiar with and accepts the risks associated with blockchain development and code changes. Blockchain technologies are still under development and may undergo significant changes over time. Blockchain contributors may make changes to features and specifications of the algorithm selected by the User, and may fork the LIBERTY Blockchain protocol. Such changes may include or result in the elimination or support for specific algorithms and applications.

3.6 Proof-Of-Work Replacement Risk

In addition to blockchain modification risk, blockchain contributors may also modify the cryptographic verification process such that the blockchains can no longer be verified through Proof-of-Work and instead adopt Proof-of-Stake methodologies. The User accepts and acknowledges such risk and shall allocate the User’s hash rate to other available blockchains and mining processes that use Proof-of-Work methodologies. The User further acknowledges that certain blockchain algorithms have no alternative blockchain applications that support Proof-of-Work mining and any such switch from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake would result in no applicable use of the User’s hash rate.

3.7. Trade Compliance.

User shall comply with all applicable import, re-import, sanctions, anti-boycott, export, and re-export control laws and regulations, including all such laws and regulations that apply to European Union and U.S. companies, such as the Export Administration Regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and economic sanctions programs implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control and the European Union’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (collectively, “Trade Sanctions Laws”). The User represents and warrants that the User and the User’s financial institutions, or any party that owns or controls the User or the User’s financial institutions, are not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties, including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. Government (e.g., the Specially Designated Nationals List and Foreign as Evaders List of the U.S. Department of Treasury, and the Entity List of the U.S. Department of Commerce), the European Union or its Member States, or other applicable government authority.  Further, User represents and warrants that it is currently in compliance with and shall at all times during the term of this agreement remain in compliance with the regulations of the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List, and any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action relating thereto.

LIBERTY and User recognize that from time to time amendments will be made to the LIBERTY Node Network.  LIBERTY and User both specifically agree that LIBERTY may, in the future, present the LIBERTY Node Network with proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) that the Node Network will then vote on whether to implement or not (the “Governance Vote”).  Although Governance Votes are not currently supported by LIBERTY, once they are supported, the User understands that the Proposed Amendments will be made at the discretion of LIBERTY, and LIBERTY owes the User no duty or obligation to make proposals in its best interests.  The User specifically understands that there may come a time when LIBERTY proposes an amendment that is (i) not in or (ii) in direct opposition to the User’s best interests, financial or otherwise (including, but not limited to a change in the distribution calculation), and the User has no legal recourse against LIBERTY should any Proposed Amendment be approved and implemented through the Governance Vote.  The User’s only recourse is to vote against said Proposed Amendment.  LIBERTY and the User both agree that one such Proposed Amendment may be to change the specifications, including, but not limited to the internet connection, Random Access Memory, Central Processing Unit requirements, extra space, and any other requirements needed to run the Nodes (the “Specifications”).  LIBERTY and User further agree that while the Specifications may be minimal on the effective date of this Agreement, this is subject to change through the Proposed Amendment and the Governance Vote.  LIBERTY does not and cannot represent or covenant that any rewards earned (financial or otherwise) for running a Liberty Node are not subject to change.

 

6. PUBLICITY

The User is permitted to state publicly that it is a customer or user of LIBERTY, consistent with any Trademark Guidelines which may be adopted by LIBERTY from time to time. The User agrees to abide by the Privacy Policy of LIBERTY.

7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each User represents and warrants that: (i) it has full power and authority to enter into these Terms & Conditions; and (ii) it will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to its provision or use of LIBERTY Services.

8. DISCLOSURES & RISKS

8.1 Notification. LIBERTY notifies each User of certain disclosures and risks associated with blockchain NFT and digital rewards and their associated technology and protocols. LIBERTY Services are not an investment product, and no action, notice, communication by any means, or omission by LIBERTY shall be understood or interpreted as such. LIBERTY has no influence whatsoever on the LIBERTY Blockchain, the transactions and consensus protocols, or the NFTs or digital rewards, including the LIBERTY Reward. Ownership of a LIBERTY App or Node or the use of LIBERTY Services does not represent or constitute any ownership right or stake, share or security, debt or equivalent right, or any right to receive any future revenue or form of participation in or relating to any blockchain or digital reward, including the LIBERTY Blockchain or LIBERTY Reward.

8.2 Digital Rewards. Digital rewards are not considered legal tender, are not issued or backed by any government, and have fewer regulatory protections than traditional currency. Moreover, digital rewards are not insured against theft or loss by any insurance corporation or any investor protection, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

 

8.3. Regulatory Risk. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of virtual NFTs, digital rewards, and blockchain rewards.  The regulatory status of digital assets and blockchain technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will regulate such technologies. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any governmental authority may make changes to existing laws, regulations and/or rules that will affect digital assets, blockchain technology and its applications.  Such changes could negatively impact the LIBERTY Services in various ways, including, for example, through a determination that any of the above are regulated financial instruments that require registration. LIBERTY may cease any distribution of any of the above, the development of the LIBERTY App, Node, or other LIBERTY platform or cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that governmental actions make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to continue to do so.  The industry in which LIBERTY operates is new, and may be subject to heightened oversight and scrutiny, including investigations or enforcement actions. There can be no assurance that governmental, quasi-governmental, regulatory or other similar types of (including banking) authorities will not examine the operations of LIBERTY and/or pursue enforcement actions against LIBERTY. Such governmental activities may or may not be the result of targeting LIBERTY in particular. All of this may subject LIBERTY to judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or cause LIBERTY to restructure its operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services, all of which could harm LIBERTY’s reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the LIBERTY Services.

8.4 Technology Risk. Virtual NFT and digital reward transactions may be irreversible and losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Some virtual transactions are deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which may not necessarily be the date or time the user initiated the transaction. The nature of such virtual transactions may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber-attacks.

9. DISCLAIMER

12. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

The User may be exposed to LIBERTY’s (and other affiliated or third party blockchain protocols’) Confidential Information.  “Confidential Information” means any information, in any form or medium, whether marked confidential or not, disclosed  to the User under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, proprietary information, products, protocols, standards, manuals, services, business plans, customer lists, know-how, trade secrets, intellectual property rights, technical specifications, source code, object code, screen displays, designs, flowcharts, drawings, processes, algorithms, software programs, databases, marketing plans, articles, strategic direction, price lists, financial information or projections, notes, memoranda, extracts, summaries, reports, and/or analysis, including any and all derivative works of the aforementioned. “Confidential Information” shall not include information that is: (a) in the public domain, or subsequently becomes in the public domain, other than by breach of this or another agreement; (b) lawfully disclosed by a third party on a non-confidential basis to User, provided that the third party did not directly or indirectly receive the item from LIBERTY; or (c) independently developed by the User without access to LIBERTY’s Confidential Information and all such development efforts can be clearly documented by User.

 

User acknowledges that all Confidential Information is and shall continue to be the exclusive property of LIBERTY.  User agrees to hold all Confidential Information received from LIBERTY in trust and confidence and agrees that such information shall be used only for the purposes of this Agreement.   User shall not disclose, directly or indirectly, the Confidential Information to any third parties, or otherwise use the Confidential Information in a manner detrimental to LIBERTY.  User shall not make copies of any documents containing Confidential Information or disassemble, decompile, publicly display, distribute, create derivatives, or reverse engineer any materials, items, or products provided by the LIBERTY. User understands that all Confidential Information is important, unique, and materially affects LIBERTY’s goodwill and success in conducting its business activities, and hereby agrees to indemnify and save harmless LIBERTY for damages that may arise from the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information by the User. This Agreement extends to Confidential Information that may have been previously disclosed to User prior to the execution of this Agreement by Liberty, Liberty’s affiliates, Connect and/or the broader ecosystem.

 

The User may be exposed to other third parties’ confidential or proprietary information.  The User will safeguard and keep confidential the confidential or proprietary information of customers, vendors, contractors, and other parties with which LIBERTY does business to the same extent as if it were LIBERTYs Confidential Information and the prohibitions and restrictions herein apply equally to third parties confidential and proprietary information received by User pursuant to this Agreement as if it were LIBERTYs Confidential Information.

 

User shall immediately inform LIBERTY, in writing, of any misappropriation, unauthorized use, or disclosure of Confidential Information and will cooperate in every reasonable way to prevent further disclosure and to obtain possession of the misappropriated Confidential Information.

 

Upon written request from LIBERTY, user shall return to LIBERTY (or destroy upon the request of the LIBERTY) all Confidential Information received by the User.

 

13.1. Assignment.

The User will not assign or otherwise transfer the User’s rights and obligations under these Terms & Conditions, without the prior written consent of LIBERTY, which may be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment or transfer in violation of this section will be void. At any time and without the need for User’s consent, LIBERTY may assign any obligation, right and these Terms & Conditions. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms & Conditions will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. The User may not merge these Terms & Conditions with any other agreements with which LIBERTY may be a party unless LIBERTY provides its consent in writing or incorporates by reference these Terms & Conditions.

 

13.2. Disputes.

Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms & Conditions or relating in any way to the User’s use of LIBERTY Sites or LIBERTY Services, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any dispute regarding any contractual or non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to these Terms & Conditions shall be commenced in accordance with the Arbitration section 13.2.1 below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing LIBERTY and the User agree that LIBERTY may bring suit in court in the State of Wyoming (federal or state) to enjoin infringement or other misuse of LIBERTY’s intellectual property rights.

13.2.1       Arbitration

 

You and LIBERTY agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services, shall be finally settled in binding arbitration, on an individual basis, in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes (accessible at https://www.adr.org/rules). Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, consumer claimants (individuals whose transaction is intended for personal, family, or household use) may elect to pursue their claims in their local small-claims court rather than through arbitration so long as their matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual (non-class or non-representative) basis.

 

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN A PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (COLLECTIVELY “CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS OR ENGAGE IN ANY CLASS ARBITRATION. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

 

The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, fully applies to the arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and shall take place in the State of Wyoming, or another mutually agreeable location, in the English language. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award, including attorneys’ fees when authorized by law, and the arbitral decision may be entered as a judgement and enforced in any court of law. At your request, hearings may be conducted in person or by telephone and the arbitrator may provide for submitting and determining motions on briefs, without oral hearings. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees.

 

If the arbitrator(s) or arbitration administrator would impose filing fees or other administrative costs on you, we will reimburse you, upon request, to the extent such fees or costs would exceed those that you would otherwise have to pay if you were proceeding instead in a court. We will also pay additional fees or costs if required to do so by the arbitration administrator’s rules or applicable law. Apart from the foregoing, each party will be responsible for any other fees or costs, such as attorney fees that the party may incur.

 

If any part of this Agreement is held by any arbitrator or court of United States to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity or enforceability of the other sections of these terms and conditions shall not be affected. Any headings contained in this Agreement are for informational purposes only and are not enforceable provisions of this Agreement.

 

13.3. Entire Agreement.

These Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy sets out all the terms agreed between the parties and supersedes all other agreements between the parties relating to its subject matter. In entering into these Terms & Conditions, neither party has relied on, and neither party will have any right or remedy based on, any statement, representation or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently), except those expressly set out in these Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy. The terms may be updated on LIBERTY sites.

13.4. Force Majeure.

13.5. Governing Law.

Any claim or dispute between the User and LIBERTY arising out of or relating to the User’s use of LIBERTY sites, LIBERTY Services, or these Terms & Conditions, in whole or in part, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA without respect to its conflict of laws provisions. The 1980 United Nations Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not govern these Terms & Conditions.
