By accessing and/or using the Quai Network Wallet, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use and the terms and conditions of our Privacy Policy, which are hereby incorporated by reference (collectively, this “Agreement”). We may update these Terms of Use from time to time, and if you access or use the Quai Network Wallet after such modified changes go into effect, you will be deemed to agree to the modified terms. If you do not agree to any of these terms, then you are not permitted to open or use a Quai Network Wallet.
Capitalized terms not defined in these Terms of Use shall have the meaning set forth in our Privacy Policy.
THE SECTIONS BELOW TITLED “BINDING ARBITRATION” AND “CLASS ACTION WAIVER” CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.
1. DESCRIPTION AND USE OF OUR WALLET
The Quai Network Wallet utilizes MetaMask Flask, a developer version of MetaMask. You will be required to install a MetaMask Flask extension for Chrome, and you will need a MetaMask Flask account, in order to use and access your Quai Network Wallet. Once you’ve set up your MetaMask Flask account, you will be able to link it to the Quai Network and your Quai Network Wallet.
The Quai Network Wallet is a non-interest-bearing account that allows you to hold, transfer, and manage your cryptocurrency. Quai does not require a minimum amount to open or maintain a Quai Network Wallet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Quai may, in our own discretion and without your consent, impose limits on the transactions made with your Quai Network Wallet. Through your Quai Network Wallet, you will be able to create new accounts, import accounts from third-party networks, generate wallet addresses and associated private keys that you may use to send and receive cryptocurrency, and take advantage of other functions and services offered by Quai through the Quai Network.
Quai is not a party to any agreement or transaction between you and any third-party. You are solely responsible for verifying the legitimacy, identity and authenticity of any cryptocurrency that you purchase and store in your Quai Network Wallet.
We are under no obligation to accept any individual as a user of the Quai Network or Quai Network Wallet, and may accept or reject any account registration in our sole and complete discretion. In addition, we may, but are not required to, deactivate any account at any time, including, without limitation, if we determine that you have violated these Terms of Use.
2. ELIGIBILITY
The Quai Network Wallet is available only for individuals aged 18 years or older. If you are under 18, please do not use the Quai Network Wallet. By access and/or using the Quai Network Wallet, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18.
3. USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your use of the Quai Network Wallet may involve the transmission to us of certain personal information. Our policies with respect to the collection and use of such personal information are governed according to our Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
4. ACCESSING YOUR QUAI NETWORK WALLET
Your private key associated with your Quai Network Wallet address is generated by MetaMask, not Quai. Your Quai Network Wallet address, together with your privacy key, may be used to authorize the transfer of cryptocurrencies to and from that Quai Network Wallet address. You are solely responsible for the retention and security of your private key and any secret phrase associated with your Quai Network Wallet. Failure to keep your Quai Network Wallet address and private key secure may result in the loss of control of digital assets associated with your Quai Network Wallet. You acknowledge and agree that we do not receive or store your Quai Network Wallet password, encrypted private key, unencrypted private key, or secret phrase associated with your Quai Network Wallet. We cannot generate a new password for your Quai Network Wallet if you fail to remember your original password. If you have not safely stored a backup of any wallet address and private key pairs maintained in your Quai Network Wallet, you accept and acknowledge that any digital assets you have associated with such Quai Network Wallet address may become inaccessible. Accordingly, Quai shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever in the event you are unable to access your Quai Network Wallet for any reason including without limitation your failure to keep your Quai Network Wallet address or private key information secure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your private key or any other breach of security of your Quai Network Wallet.
5. CRYPTO TRANSACTIONS
In order to execute a cryptocurrency transaction, the transaction must be confirmed and recorded in the associated public blockchain. We have no control over the blockchain networks and, therefore, cannot and do not ensure that any transaction details that you submit via the Quai Network Wallet or the Quai Network will be confirmed and processed. By using the Quai Network Wallet, you acknowledge and agree that: (i) we do not have the ability to cancel or otherwise modify any transaction; and (ii) the applicable blockchain network may fail to complete any transaction.
You understand that your Quai Network public address may be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the Quai Network. We have no liability to you, or to any third party, for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any payments or transactions that you engage in via the Quai Network or using your Quai Network Wallet.
You own all rights, title, and interest in and to any cryptocurrency held in your Quai Network Wallet. You hereby represent and warrant to us that: (i) any cryptocurrency that you transfer into your Quai Network Wallet is owned by you at the time of transfer; and (ii) you are authorized to instruct us to carry out transactions relating to your Quai Network Wallet, and all transactions initiated with your Quai Network Wallet are for your own account (or, in the case of business accounts, for your business’s account) and not on behalf of any other person or entity.
It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the transactions that you have submitted to your Quai Network Wallet. Quai is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transactions or for collecting, reporting, withholding, or remitting any taxes arising from any digital asset-related transactions.

In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting our defense of such matter.
12. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS
The Quai Network and Quai Network Wallet are based in the United States. We make no claims concerning whether any content may be downloaded, viewed, or be appropriate for use outside of the United States. If you access or use the Quai Network and Quai Network Wallet from outside of the United States, you do so at your own risk. Whether inside or outside of the United States, you are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with the laws of your specific jurisdiction.
13. TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT

We reserve the right to change, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the Quai Network and Quai Network Wallet at any time without prior notice or liability.
14. BINDING ARBITRATION
Subject to Section 16 below, in the event of a dispute arising under or relating to these Terms of Use (“Dispute”), such Dispute will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website
www.jamsadr.com
. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States county where you reside. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. Nothing in these Terms of Use will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.
15. CLASS ACTION WAIVER
You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
16. EQUITABLE RELIEF
You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights or confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce these Terms of Use. We may, without waiving any other remedies under these Terms of Use, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of New York for purposes of any such action by us.
17. MISCELLANEOUS
These Terms of Use and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Proceedings commenced by us to protect our intellectual property or confidential information shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York.
If the Agreement is terminated, such termination shall not affect the validity of the following provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect: “Communications with Us,” “Disclaimers; Limitations of Liability,” “Assumption of the Risk relating to Blockchain,” “Indemnification,” “Compliance with Applicable Laws,” “Termination of the Agreement,” and “Miscellaneous.”
Our failure to act on or enforce any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in these Terms of Use. No waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by us and you in writing, these Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy constitutes the entire agreement between you and us, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between you and us, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import. These Terms of Use will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees. These Terms of Use may be updated by us from time to time, with reasonable notice to you, including via transmission of such updated terms via electronic means.
