Acceptance of the Terms of Use

These terms of use are entered into by and between You and Acre Stakes, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Community", "we" or "us"). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, these "Terms of Use"), govern your access to and use of the Project located at https://acre.fi/ as well as any content, functionality, smart contracts, distributed applications ("Dapps") and services offered on or through the Acre Project (collectively, the "Project"). The Project is administered by a Community of users using open source protocols. Initially, the Project operations are overseen by a multi-sig. Ultimately, Project management will be transitioned to the decentralized community at large through a token governance model.

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Project. By using the Project or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, found at [https://acre.fi/privacy-policy], incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Project.

This Project is offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older who are not residents of countries named on the US Department of the Treasury Sanctions list (https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Pages/Programs.aspx) or named on the Office of Foreign Asset Control's list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons ("SDN List") currently found at https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/SDN-List/Pages/default.aspx. If the user is an organization, you affirm you have the right, power and authority to enter into this agreement on behalf of the organization and bind the organization to its terms. If you do not agree to the terms of this agreement, you must not use the Project or any of our services. By using this Project, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Community and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. You represent that you are legally permitted to use the Project in your jurisdiction including owning Digital Assets and interacting with the Project in any way. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Project. Without limiting the foregoing, by using the Project, you acknowledge and understand that laws regarding financial instruments, which sometimes include cryptographic tokens, also known as "Digital Assets", and decentralized finance may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is your obligation alone to ensure that you fully comply with any law, regulation or directive, relevant to your jurisdiction with regard to the use of the Project. You further represent and warrant that you will not use the Project or access its smart contract functionality if the laws of your country of residency or establishment prohibit you from doing so in accordance with this agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the ability to access the Project does not necessarily mean that the Project, or your activities through it, are legal under the laws, regulations or directives relevant to your jurisdiction. All of the Project or the services made available through the Project may not be available to all users, and we reserve the right to assess or reassess at any time your eligibility to use all or part of our Project. The availability of the Project does not constitute, and may not be used for the purposes of, an offer or solicitation to anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized, or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. By accessing or using the Project, you explicitly agree that the smart contracts built into the Dapps that comprise the Project are legally binding and enforceable upon you and the contract counterparty.

The Acre interface allows the user to initiate a transaction that the user would like to perform in connection with the publicly available smart contracts incorporated into the Project. The interaction methods include accessing the functionalities of publicly deployed smart contracts for users to self-authorize token transfers and self-mint governance tokens on relevant blockchains. The Project will run predominantly on the Ethereum blockchain and will be interoperable with the Bitcoin blockchain and any Layer 2 chain integrated with the Project. Using the relevant blockchain systems, third-party supplied wallets, devices, or validator nodes does not require use of the Acre interface. Anyone with an internet connection can connect directly to the smart contract or blockchain without accessing or using our interface.

Changes to the Terms of Use

We, and in the future, a decentralized governing body, may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Project thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or prior to the date the change is posted on the Project.

Your continued use of the Project following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page each time you access this Project so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

Accessing the Project and Account Security

To access the Project or some of the resources it offers, you may be asked to provide an Ethereum or Bitcoin wallet address (a "Wallet"). By connecting a wallet, users are able to interact with the Project's smart contracts to deposit and lock assets. Initially the only acceptable asset is BTC. Eventually, tBTC is another additional asset that is likely to be added as determined by the Community. It is your sole responsibility to maintain the security of your Wallet. If you lose access to your Wallet, a private key, password, or other method of securing your Wallet, any funds may be irretrievable, and we will be unable to assist you in any way. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against us, our affiliates and their respective shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives related to your use of any Wallet software, associated loss of funds, transaction failures, or any other defects that arise in the course of your use of your Wallet, including any losses that may obtain as a result of any failure in smart contracts made available on the Project. By using the Project, you agree to be fully, independently and personally liable for each transaction made on the Project by you, and you must make sure that you are the only person with access to your Wallet at all times. You hereby accept responsibility for any activity transacted on the Project through your Wallet.

We will use commercially reasonable technical and physical safeguards to make the Project securely available to its users. However, given the inherent risk of transmitting information over the internet and the relatively new and untested nature of digital asset technology, we will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Project is unavailable at any time or for any period. You alone are responsible for evaluating any code provided by or used on the Project. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Project, or the entire Project, to users. You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Project and ensuring that all persons who access the Project through your internet connection are aware of these Terms of Use and comply with them.

It is a condition of your use of the Project that all the information you provide on the Project is correct, current and complete. You agree that all information you provide to this Project or otherwise, including but not limited to through the use of any interactive features on the Project, is governed by our Privacy Policy [https://acre.fi/privacy-policy], and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

User Engagement

We may offer user engagement programs from time to time at our sole discretion ("Engagement Program"). We reserve the right to alter, change and/or terminate our Engagement Program at any time and for any reason, which may result in the cancellation of unredeemed incentives or other such benefits, upon written (including electronic) notice or publication to you. In addition, we reserve the right to immediately disqualify you from an Engagement Program if you have violated this Agreement or if you have, in our determination, misused the Engagement Program. Participants in the Engagement Program expressly agree that use of the Engagement Program is at the participant's sole risk. The Engagement Program and all services offered in connection therewith are provided on a strictly "as is" and "as available" basis. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY (1) WITH REGARD TO ANY INCENTIVES OBTAINED BY PARTICIPANTS THROUGH THE PROGRAM; (2) THAT THE PROGRAM OR ANY INCENTIVES DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM WILL MEET PARTICIPANTS' REQUIREMENTS OR HAVE ANY VALUE; (3) THAT THE PROGRAM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY OR ERROR FREE; OR (4) AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE PROGRAM OR ANY SERVICES DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM OR AS TO THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY THE PARTICIPANT. WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Fees

Some services on the Project involve the use of blockchains, including the Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains, which may require that you pay a fee, such as "Gas Charges", for the computational resources required to perform a transaction. You acknowledge and agree that the Community has no control over these fees, including: (a) any blockchain transactions; (b) the method of payment of any Gas Charges; or (c) any actual payments of Gas Charges. Accordingly, you must ensure that you have a sufficient balance of digital assets, such as ETH or Bitcoin, stored in your Wallet to complete any transaction on the Ethereum or Bitcoin blockchain Project before initiating such transactions. You may be subject to additional fees and charges, including fees required to access certain smart contracts. You acknowledge that such fees may be adjusted from time to time by us or by other users who set the terms of their own smart contracts. If you do not agree with the fees charged for Project functionality, do not use or access the Project.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is your sole responsibility to determine whether, and to what extent, any taxes apply to any transactions you conduct through the Project, and to withhold, collect, report and remit the correct amount of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless for your failure to pay any taxes, including any penalties, duties and interest, imposed by any governmental authority.

Risks

Use of the Project may carry financial risk. Digital Assets are a novel and relatively experimental technology. Their value, if any, can fluctuate with great volatility, and transactions conducted with Digital Assets are irreversible. The use of Digital Assets is inherently risky, and you acknowledge and agree that you are accessing and using the Project at your own risk. The risk of loss due to market volatility and malfeasance by other users of the Project can be substantial. Digital Assets and smart contracts are typically described using extremely technical language that is difficult to understand and requires a deep knowledge of cryptography and computer science. Dapps made available on the Project may have inherent design flaws that have not been detected in testing or may not perform as expected in conjunction with third-party technology or high-volume use. You should carefully consider whether you have sufficient understanding of the technology before accessing or using the Project.

By accessing or using the Project, you hereby represent that you have the requisite knowledge and experience to evaluate the risk of the technology you are using and any transactions you undertake, and you accept the risk that the Project might not function as anticipated and that you might lose access to your Digital Assets temporarily or permanently. The Project encourages the creation of third-party Dapps and smart contract technology, but the availability of third-party Dapps and smart contract technology on the Project is not an endorsement by us of that technology. You acknowledge and agree that the Community is not a party to the smart contracts offered on the Project and that the contract counterparty to any smart contracts you enter will likely be unknown to you.

You acknowledge that the Project runs on top of the decentralized Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains and that we have no control over the availability of the blockchains or the price of the Digital Assets, ETH or BTC. The Bitcoin protocol is open source, and anyone can use, copy or make modifications to the protocol known as "Forks" which could materially affect the operation of the Bitcoin blockchain and thus, the Project. In the event of a Fork, you acknowledge and agree that we may temporarily or permanently suspend our operations and that we bear no liability for losses resulting from a Fork in the Bitcoin blockchain.

The Project may become the target of sophisticated hacking attempts, cyber attacks, dramatic fluctuations in use or other technical or operational challenges that could affect its availability or ability to function properly. You accept the risk of any delays or transaction failures resulting from such interference with the Project or any third-party services connected to or operating in conjunction with the Project including other operators of decentralized Projects, platforms or Dapps. You further acknowledge that decentralized lending and borrowing protocols that ultimately allow the use of Digital Assets created on our platform have no legal obligation to provide software development to or maintain their protocols, and you should not expect that their services will continue or be available at any particular time. We are not responsible for the availability of or maintenance to lending or borrowing protocols that allow interaction, through smart contracts or otherwise, with the Acre Project or Acre Digital Assets.

You acknowledge that Community is a non-custodial provider of services. We do not provide custody services, control or manage your Digital Assets in any manner whatsoever. The Project exists in a decentralized environment through which functionality can be autonomously directly accessed by you without any involvement or actions by Community or any third-party. Use of the Project requires the use of either an ERC20 compatible Wallet or a BTC wallet with a native Segregated Witness (SegWit) or legacy Bitcoin address. It is your responsibility to maintain access to and the security of your Wallet. If you fail to secure your Wallet properly, you could lose access to the contents of your Wallet and you will no longer be able to access or use some Project features.

In many jurisdictions, the regulatory frameworks imposed by governmental authorities over the use and sale of cryptocurrencies or Digital Assets are uncertain. Changes in regulations and policies may affect your use of the Project in your jurisdiction, and you are responsible for consulting with legal counsel and complying with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

The Project may rely on the use of third-party platforms, exchanges, Dapps, oracles or other mechanisms to facilitate your use of the Project. We do not control the availability of those platforms, and your access to and use of the Project could be affected by changes in those platforms which are beyond our control.
