Tools For Humanity User Terms and Conditions
Welcome to the Worldcoin community! Worldcoin is an open-source protocol supported by a global community of developers, individuals, and other contributors. Tools for Humanity is a global software and hardware development company building the tools to bring blockchain and digital identity technologies and products to billions of people, including by contributing to the development and growth of the Worldcoin ecosystem.
These Terms between you and Tools for Humanity Corporation, a Delaware corporation (collectively with our affiliates, "TFH", “we” or “us”) govern your use of and access to our websites and applications, including World App and the Operator App (collectively, the “Apps”), and all of the associated functionality, content, and services we provide to you (collectively, the "Services") in relation to the Worldcoin protocol (“Worldcoin”).
Please read these Terms carefully before using or accessing the Services. By accessing or using any of the Services we provide, along with your explicit consent to these Terms, you expressly agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Notice, which is incorporated as a part of these Terms.
Please note these especially important parts of these Terms:
You agree to resolve any disputes between you and TFH through binding arbitration rather than in court. If you reside in South Korea, you may choose to resolve the dispute in a competent local court instead. Please review Section 15 below for details.
Crypto products, including Digital Tokens, are largely unregulated and can be highly risky. There may be no regulatory recourse for any loss from such transactions.
Nothing in the Services constitutes an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities or Digital Tokens. The Services do not constitute investment advice. Holding, buying, or selling any Digital Tokens (as defined in Section 2.1 below) may not be permitted where you live, and it is your responsibility to comply with all applicable law. Please consider whether buying, selling, using, or holding Digital Tokens is suitable for you in light of your financial circumstances and your understanding of Digital Tokens. The value Digital Tokens may change quickly and may lose all of their value.
In addition, Worldcoin tokens (“WLD”) are not intended to be available for use, purchase, or access by US persons, including US citizens, residents, or persons in the United States, or companies incorporated, located, or resident in the United States, or who have a registered agent in the United States. We do not make WLD available to such US persons. Furthermore, you agree that you will not sell, transfer or make available WLD to US persons.
Further information on risks associated with WLD can be found here.
Third-party services within the meaning of Section 2.5 and connections to decentralized applications within the meaning of Section 2.8, are not intended to be available to or to be accessed by users established or situated in Germany or who have their ordinary residence or registered office there. The P2P Marketplace within the meaning of Section 2.7 is not intended to be available to or to be accessed by users established or situated in the European Economic Are (EEA) or who have their ordinary residence or registered office there.
1. Scope of the Terms
1.1 Privacy and Your Data. When accessing the Apps, you may provide us with categories of personal information, such as your name or telephone number. If you provide information to establish your proof of personhood and to claim your WLD tokens, then you may provide special categories of sensitive personal data, such as your biometric information. Our Privacy Notice describes the data we collect from you and how we use it. Please do not use the Services if you do not want us to collect or use your data in the manner described in the Privacy Notice.
1.2 Eligibility. In order to use the Services, you must comply with these Terms and all applicable laws. You cannot use the Services to conduct, promote, or help others to carry out any illegal activity.
In addition, you must meet all of the following criteria:

These features are not available for you. Regarding the P2P Marketplace within the meaning of Section 2.7, the same applies if you are established or situated elsewhere in the EEA or have your ordinary residence or registered office there.
1.3 Availability. Webpages describing the Services are accessible worldwide, but this does not mean all Services or service features are legal or available in your country. Access to certain Services (or certain Service features) in certain countries may be blocked by us or foreign governments. Access to the Orb and our Orb Operators will not be available in Texas, Illinois, Washington, Portland, OR, and Baltimore, MD. You may not use VPN or similar tools for the purpose of circumventing any restrictions. Access to the Apps, and certain features within the Apps, may be unavailable or restricted, depending on your location. It is your responsibility to make sure that your use of the Services is legal where you use them. Services are not available in all languages.
1.4 Updates. We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we do this, we will make the updated terms available on the Services and where required by applicable law we shall notify you prior to making any changes and where such changes might be especially material or disadvantageous for you, we shall provide additional prior notice if required by applicable law. You understand and agree that your continued use of the Services after we have made any such changes and where you have not specifically objected to the same constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. You can stop using the Services at any time if you do not agree to these Terms. Because the Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
1.5 Additional Terms. Additional terms and conditions may apply to specific applications, content, features, or portions of the Services, and all such additional terms and conditions we provide to you will form part of these Terms.
2. Services
2.1 Non-Custodial Wallet
World App includes an unhosted and non-custodial wallet for holding supported cryptocurrencies, digital currencies, or digital assets (including WLD and collectively, “Digital Tokens”). You control the Digital Tokens held in the wallet. With World App, the private keys (which represent the password to access the Digital Tokens) are stored directly on your device. At any time, subject to having internet access and the congestion on the blockchain, you may withdraw your Digital Tokens by sending them to a different blockchain address. When holding your Digital Tokens in the wallet, we do not maintain control over your wallet, Digital Tokens, or private keys. Users are responsible for the risk of loss of their private keys and neither TFH nor World App is able to recover such keys.
As World App is a non-custodial wallet, you will be given a wallet address which specifies where your Digital Tokens are held on the corresponding blockchain. We have no ability to access your Digital Tokens.
2.2 Supported Digital Tokens
World App supports ERC-20 tokens. We may add support for additional Digital Tokens in the future. You can see which Digital Tokens are supported by us within World App. Be sure to check which tokens and networks are supported within World App before you deposit or withdraw your Digital Assets. We are not able to recover your Digital Tokens if you send unsupported tokens to the wrong wallet address.
You understand that sending non-supported Digital Tokens to World App wallet address may mean you will entirely lose access to those Digital Tokens. We have no way of recovering Digital Tokens sent to the wrong wallet address. Please be sure you are sending the correct Digital Tokens to the correct wallet address at all times, and always test a transaction with a small amount of Digital Tokens.
2.3 Offerings and Access
When you interact with your Digital Tokens - such as sending them to another blockchain address or connecting to a distributed application - using the Services, you will be required to approve or “sign” the interaction via the devices you have identified during the onboarding process. The Apps fully relies upon your approvals from these devices to initiate interactions with the relevant blockchain. You understand that you are interacting directly with the relevant blockchain when you perform these interactions, and that we are not responsible for transmitting orders on your behalf.
2.4 Information about Third Parties
By using the Services you may have access to information pertaining to your Digital Tokens, such as, but not limited to, their current market value. The presentation of this information does not imply any association with or endorsement of third parties, even if certain functionalities provided in connection with the Services require the use of such third-party products. The content of such third-party services and products as stated via the Services is based on information made publicly available or by such third parties to us, and we therefore make no representations or warranties on the accuracy of such third-party service or product related information.
2.5 Third-Party Services
This section does not apply to users established or situated in Germany or having their ordinary residence or registered office there:
Where available, the Services may provide you with links to third-party processors to process transactions such as fiat purchases of Digital Tokens, sale of Digital Tokens, exchange of Digital Tokens, and other functionalities which may be available in the future. You can see what third-party services are available within World App. When you perform these transactions, you are making transactions with third parties and not us. You must follow the relevant instructions provided by the third-party provider and accept their terms of service. We do not take control of or transmit your funds or Digital Tokens at any time while providing our Services, or when you access third-party services.
2.6 Peer-to-Peer Transactions
The Services enable you to send supported Digital Tokens to, and request, receive, and store supported Digital Tokens from, third parties by initiating transactions through the Services. Your transfer of supported Digital Tokens between your other blockchain wallets and to and from third parties is a transfer. When you or a third party sends Digital Tokens to your wallet address, the person initiating the transaction is solely responsible for executing the transaction properly, which may include, among other things, payment of sufficient network or miner’s fees in order for the transaction to be successful. Insufficient network fees may cause a transfer to remain in a pending state and may result in delays or loss incurred as a result of an error in the initiation of the transaction. We have no obligation to assist in the remediation of such transactions. When you send any Digital Token from your wallet to another blockchain wallet, such transfers are executed on chain by you and not under our control. You should verify all transaction information prior to submitting them. We bear no liability or responsibility in the event you enter an incorrect blockchain destination address. Digital Token transfers cannot be reversed once they have been broadcast to the relevant blockchain network, although they may be in a pending state, and designated accordingly, while the transaction is processed by network operators. We do not control the network and make no guarantees that a transfer will be confirmed by the network.
2.7 Worldcoin Vault
General information
World App offers the means to access a decentralized “vault” for your Digital Tokens (“Vault”). Your use of the Vault constitutes your acknowledgment and acceptance of the terms governing the Vault, as well as any additional terms provided by third parties that have developed or provide features relating to or arising out of your use of the Vault.
Vault only supports certain Digital Tokens. These Digital Tokens do not qualify as Asset Referenced Tokens or E-Money Tokens, in the terms set by Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 2023 on markets in crypto-assets. The supported Digital Tokens will be displayed in World App when accessing your Vault. The Digital Tokens supported by the Vault may change from time to time, and there is no guarantee that supported Digital Tokens will remain available for use in the Vault.
Vault is provided in connection with third-party smart contracts. No other person or entity, besides you, has the ability to interact with your Vault or the Digital Tokens inside your Vault. Neither TFH nor any third-party has administrative keys or access (privileged or otherwise) to your Vault or the associated smart contracts. A deposit into, or withdrawal from, the Vault of any Digital Tokens for your account can only occur if such a transaction is signed with your corresponding private key(s) described in Section 2.1 of these Terms. This means that if you lose access to or control of your private key(s), you will not be able to make any deposits or withdrawals of Digital Tokens from the Vault and no other party will be able to assist you or do so on your behalf. Accordingly, use of the Vault does not, and cannot, provide to you any custody, bailment, or transfer services by TFH or any other third party with respect to any Digital Tokens you may lock up using the Vault on your account.
The smart contract governing the Vault functions for WLD tokens can be viewed using the blockchain here. For clarity, use of these and any other related Vault functions are subject to the same Disclaimer of Warranties contained in Section 12 of these Terms.
Vault Functions
Vault currently offers the following features, which may be altered, removed, or added to by TFH or third parties:
1. Locking
2. Yield
3. Withdrawal and Security Period
4. Grants to Vault
Locking
By using Vault, you agree to lock your Digital Tokens for a set period of time. Locking Digital Tokens using your Vault will transfer those Digital Tokens from your non-custodial wallet to a decentralized smart contract. Upon transfer, these Digital Tokens will become “locked” in the vault, which includes the period during which they remain deposited in the Vault as well as a pre-determined duration called a “Security Period,” which is described in more detail below. While your Digital Tokens are locked, you will not be able to access, transfer, or perform any other transaction using them until you have requested to withdraw them and allowed the applicable Security Period to elapse. No one, including TFH or the third party Provider, has the ability to unlock, custody, control, withdraw or transfer your locked Digital Tokens. Placing your Digital Tokens into the Vault and subjecting them to the locking and withdrawal restrictions does not constitute a sale, loan, or transfer of any rights, title, or interest in the Digital Tokens to TFH or any other third party.
Locking your Digital Tokens in Vault does not guarantee the safekeeping or custody of your Digital Tokens. No deposit insurance scheme, or any similar safeguard, applies to your Digital Tokens, and the value and/or utility of any Digital Tokens you have locked up may increase or decrease throughout the duration of the Security Period. This means the value or utility of any Digital Tokens you lock up in your Vault may decrease, or go to zero during the Security Period. You acknowledge and agree that any withdrawal of Digital Tokens on your account after the applicable Security Period may result in the return of Digital Tokens that have a lower value, or no value, than they had at the time you locked them in your Vault, and that TFH nor any third party bears the risk or responsibility of any diminution in value that may occur.
Yield
You may also be eligible to generate what, for purposes of this product, is referred to as “yield” on certain Digital Tokens in your Vault. This yield, which may take the form of additional Digital Tokens, is provided by a third party via a separate series of smart contract operations that you may access using the interface provided within World App. Neither TFH nor any third party uses, assumes control of, receives any credit for, or otherwise disposes of your Digital Tokens. As such, yield is not interest that is tied to or generated by anything other than the locking up of your Digital Tokens according to the terms and specifications provided. Any yield you may receive is provided to you as a grant by the third party based on your decisions to store Digital Tokens using the Vault. The specifications determining the generation of yield, including the amount generated or the time over which it may accrue, may be changed or canceled at any time, at the discretion of the third party Provider.
There may be a maximum amount of yield you can earn. These details will be displayed alongside your Vault and via any additional terms provided by the third party (identified as the “Provider” within the World App) providing the yield. These additional terms are also incorporated into these Terms. Yield is not provided or serviced by TFH.
Any yield that accrues will only be distributed to you upon the completion of withdrawal for any yield-generating Digital Tokens from the Vault, which occurs only after any applicable Security Period expires. This withdrawal is the final condition of any yield grant, meaning you have no right, title, or interest in any yield that has generated or will be generated unless and until such time as the yield has been received in your non-custodial wallet. This also means that if you lose access to or control of your private key(s), you will not be able to make any withdrawals that will entitle you to receive yield.
Withdrawal and Security Period
You may initiate a withdrawal of your Digital Tokens from your Vault at any time. The Digital Tokens you have requested to withdraw from your Vault will be returned to you after a pre-set duration of time called the “Security Period” has elapsed. Each time you initiate a withdrawal of Digital Tokens from the Vault, a new Security Period will start and count down the time until those Digital Tokens will be returned to you. During this time, the Digital Tokens you have selected to withdraw will remain locked, and you may also cancel your withdrawal. Once the Security Period has elapsed, your withdrawal will be complete and the Digital Tokens, along with any generated yield that may have accrued, will be sent to your wallet. The duration of the Security Period will be stated within World App when you access your Vault.
Grants to Vault
This feature, once selected, allows you to automatically send WLD Grants directly to the Vault on your account instead of to your wallet. You can change this setting at any time.
TFH and Vault
The access to this feature is made via World App. However, TFH will only be able to read related data and display it to you. TFH cannot transfer, withdraw or deposit any of your Digital Tokens and does not have any access to your Vault.

2.8 Decentralized Applications
This section does not apply to users established or situated in Germany or having their ordinary residence or registered office there:
Where available, we may have functionality enabling you to connect your wallet to various decentralized applications. You are solely responsible for ensuring the safety and security of these third-party applications. We have no control over third-party applications and cannot provide support for any problems you may encounter when connecting with third-party applications.
2.9 Customer Support
We provide customer support for assistance with certain features and functions in connection with the Services. To get in touch, select “Support” from the in-app menu.
2.10 World ID Protocol
The Worldcoin Foundation controls the World ID Protocol. We may make the World ID Protocol available to you through the Service. The World ID Protocol allows you to prove you are a real and unique human being while protecting your privacy.
By signing-up for World ID, you confirm that you have never signed up to World ID before, and that you are only signing up one time. While we make every effort to ensure that World ID is accurate, there is no guarantee that the service is 100% reliable and accurate. In addition, there is the possibility of a false positive occurring when you try to sign up to World ID for the first time. By using World ID along with your explicit consent to the relevant terms and conditions, such as these Terms, you agree to all of the terms and conditions found herein, including the terms set out by the Worldcoin Foundation.
2.11 Invite Program
Where available, we may make the ‘Invite’ feature available to you. Using Invite, you can invite friends and family to download World App and get verified for World ID.
Rewards for participating in Invite are provided by World Assets Limited. World Assets Limited may, in its sole discretion, offer you a reward for inviting users that successfully verify their World ID. In order to receive the reward, you must meet certain conditions, which will be explained to you in World App. You have a maximum limit of how many users you can refer to World App. This limit is displayed in World App.
No purchase is necessary to participate in the Invite feature. Invite is only available for personal, non-commercial use. You may only use the Invite feature in good faith for lawful purposes. You may not: (a) use Invite or the Services in a deceptive, fraudulent or unlawful manner; (b) do anything to damage our brand, goodwill or reputation; (c) transmit unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional material; (d) make false or misleading claims; (e) use paid search, paid media or other similar activity to solicit users via Invite; and (f) use Invite to try to obtain personal information from other users.
Invite is not available in all countries or locations and is not available to all users. Participation in Invite is not available in any jurisdiction where all or any portion of this feature may violate (or cause us to violate) any legal requirements. You agree not to use Invite if the Invite feature is not in accordance with applicable law in your location.
Invite is made available in our sole discretion. We may change, modify, suspend and cancel the feature at any time. World Assets Limited may refuse to offer you a reward for inviting users to verify their World ID where it determines, in its sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms.
2.12 WLD Grants & Reservations
Once you have successfully signed up for World ID we may allow you to claim a small amount of WLD at different intervals (“WLD Grants”). If you have not yet signed up for World ID, we may allow you to reserve WLD Grants in advance (“WLD Reservations”). WLD Grants and WLD Reservations are provided by World Assets Limited, a subsidiary of the Worldcoin Foundation. Exact amounts, intervals, and timings of both WLD Grants and WLD Reservations will be specified in World App, but are determined solely by World Assets Limited. By allowing you to claim WLD Reservations, we make no guarantee that you will receive any amount of WLD Grants. WLD Reservations may expire, with or without prior notice in World App, regardless of whether you have already made a WLD Reservation or received the associated WLD Grant. They are revocable at the sole discretion of World Assets Limited.
2.13 Operator App
For Orb Operators and other partners, we make available an Operator App that allows you to monitor certain activity and statistics relevant to you and your business as Orb Operators. We may also make certain features available to help you conduct your business as Orb Operators.
3. Purchases, Fees, and Taxes
3.1 Transaction Fees. By using the Services, you agree to pay all applicable fees, including transaction fees for Digital Token swaps and transactions. We will let you know of any applicable fee before you make a transaction. If you use a third party payment service, bank fees, credit card and debit card fees charged for any Digital Token purchases may be netted out of the settled amount of your Digital Token purchases. You are also responsible for paying any additional fees charged by your financial service provider.
3.2 Network Fee. Interactions with the blockchain also incur a network fee. The network fee is charged by and paid to the blockchain network, not to us, for facilitating any interactions.
3.3 Taxes. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether, and to what extent, any taxes apply to any transaction via the Services, and to withhold, collect, report and remit the correct amount of tax to the appropriate tax authorities.
3.4 Updates. All fees are displayed and current as reflected in the Services and may be updated and changed from time to time.
4. Risk Factors
4.1 Not Legal Tender. Digital Tokens are not legal tender, are not backed by any government, and Digital Token accounts and value balances on the Services are not subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections, or similar protections found in other countries. We are not a bank and do not offer fiduciary services. Transactions made over World App are largely unregulated in many countries. We make no guarantee as to the functionality of the blockchains we support, which could, among other things, lead to delays, conflicts of interest, or operational decisions by third parties that are unfavorable to certain owners of Digital Tokens, or lead to your inability to complete a transaction using the Services. The transaction details you submit via the Services may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed on the applicable blockchain, and we take no responsibility for the failure of a transaction to be confirmed or processed as expected. There are no warranties or guarantees that a transfer initiated via the Services will successfully transfer title or right in any Digital Token. In addition, there may be risks specific to the use of certain Digital Assets, such as WLD. Further information on risks specific to WLD can be found here.
4.2 New Technology. The Services are new. While this software has been extensively tested, the software used for the Services is still relatively new and could have bugs or security vulnerabilities. Further, the software is still under development and may undergo significant changes over time that may not meet users’ expectations.
4.3 Information Security Risk. Digital Tokens and use of the Services may be subject to expropriation or theft. Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Services in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, because the blockchain networks we support, such as the Ethereum protocol, rest on open source software, the software underlying the Services may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses which may negatively affect the Services or result in the loss of user’s Digital Tokens or the loss of user’s ability to access or control her wallet via the Services. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy and users are not guaranteed any remedy, refund or compensation.
4.4 Accuracy. Although we intend to provide accurate and timely information provided through the Services (including, without limitation, the content) may not always be entirely accurate, complete or current and may also include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. In an effort to continue to provide you with as complete and accurate information as possible, information may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be changed or updated from time to time without notice, including without limitation information regarding our policies, products and services. Accordingly, you should verify all information before relying on it, and all decisions based on information provided through the Services are your sole responsibility and we shall have no liability for such decisions.
4.5 Availability. Although we strive to provide you with excellent service, we do not guarantee that the Services will be available without interruption. The Services may be temporarily unavailable from time to time for maintenance or other reasons. We assume no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, user communications. We are not responsible for any problems or technical malfunction of any telephone network or lines, computer online systems, servers or providers, computer equipment, software, failure of email or players on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet or on the Services or combination thereof, including injury or damage to users or to any other person's computer related to or resulting from participating or downloading materials in connection with the Services. We are not responsible for any loss or damage, financial damages or lost profits, loss of business, or personal injury or death, resulting from anyone's use of the Service, any Content posted on or through the Service or transmitted to users, or any interactions between users of the Services, whether online or offline.
4.6 Forks. The software used to create WLD is open-source and free for anyone to copy and use. This means that anyone can create a modified version of WLD, otherwise known as a “Fork.” In the event of a Fork or any other disruption of a Digital Tokens network, we may not be able to support any activity related to the Fork. Transactions may not be completed, completed partially, incorrectly completed, or substantially delayed when a Fork occurs. We are not responsible for any losses you incur which are caused in whole or in part by a Fork or other network disruption.
4.7 Third Party Services. Where available (see in particular Section 2.5), we rely upon third party service providers to provide some features and functionality within the Apps, for instance the ability to purchase Digital Assets with fiat currency, or the ability to swap one Digital Asset for another. We do not provide these services, and we are not party to any such transaction. You are solely relying upon third party providers for these services, and you must have an account with the third-party providers and agree to their terms. We are unable to assist you if you encounter problems using their service, and we are not responsible for any transactions you make using third party providers.
5. Intellectual Property.
5.1 Ownership. Our software, the application, the Services, the Content, the Marks (as defined below) and the design, selection, and arrangement of the Content in the Services (the “IP”) are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and other intellectual property rights and laws of the United States and other applicable countries. You agree to abide by all applicable intellectual property rights and laws, as well as any trademark or copyright notices or restrictions contained in the Agreement or the Services.

All other trademarks, names, or logos mentioned in connection with the Services are the property of their respective owners and you may not copy, imitate, or use them, in whole or in part, without the written permission of the applicable trademark owner. The inclusion of any marks of others in the Services does not constitute an approval, endorsement, or recommendation by us.

8. Orb Operators
We partner with local independent contractors called “Orb Operators,” who facilitate user signups and help answer questions you may have about us. These Orb Operators have received training and are knowledgeable about Worldcoin. However, we have no control over and disclaim all liability for what they say or how they conduct themselves. Orb Operators are not our agents or employees in any way. Any effort, feature, process, policy, standard, or other efforts undertaken by TFH in the interest of its users do not indicate an employment or agency relationship with an Orb Operator.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
13.1 We don’t exclude or limit our liability to you where it would be illegal to do so. In countries where the below types of exclusions aren’t allowed, we’re responsible to you only for losses and damages that are a reasonably foreseeable result of our failure to use reasonable care and skill or our breach of our contract with you. This paragraph doesn’t affect consumer rights that can’t be waived or limited by any contract or agreement.
13.2 To the extent permitted by law, you agree that under no circumstances will we or any of our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, or subsidiaries (the “TFH Parties”) be liable to you for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible property, whether such liability is asserted on the basis of tort or otherwise, and whether or not the TFH Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use or inability to use the Services, your Digital Tokens, or the Worldcoin network; (b) inaccessibility or termination of the Services; (c) any hacking, tampering, unauthorized access to or alteration of any transaction or your Data; (d) any transaction or agreement entered into by you with any third party through the Services; (e) any activities or communications of third parties; (f) the actions of Orb Operators, (g) any loss of the value of any Digital Tokens; (h) any Third-Party Content accessed on or through the Services; (i) errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies in our Content; (j) personal injury or property damage of any nature whatsoever resulting from any access to or use of the Services; (k) viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through the Services; or (l) the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any third party. This limitation of liability will apply whether the damages arise from use or misuse of, or reliance on TFH or the Services, notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
13.3 Under no circumstances will the TFH Parties be liable to you for any direct claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, or costs in an amount exceeding $100.00.

If you are obligated to indemnify any of the TFH Parties, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether to settle and on what terms.
IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, you waive the benefits and protections of California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “[a] general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
14. Governing Law
If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), then the law of the Federal Republic of Germany will apply to this Agreement and any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement. If you reside outside of the EEA, then the laws of the State of California will apply to this Agreement and any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement. The governing law stated in this section will apply without regard to principles of conflict of laws. You further agree that the Service will be deemed to be based solely in the State of California, and that although the Services may be available in other jurisdictions, its availability does not give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction in any forum outside the State of California.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION
15.1 PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY. THEY REQUIRE YOU TO SETTLE DISPUTES WITH US THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION BEFORE A SOLE ARBITRATOR, AND NOT AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS ACTION. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING US IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL, THOUGH YOU MAY BRING A DISPUTE AGAINST US IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOU QUALIFY.
15.2 We will use our best efforts to resolve any potential disputes through informal, good faith negotiations. If a potential dispute arises, you must contact us by sending an email to legalnotice@toolsforhumanity.com so that we can attempt to resolve it without resorting to formal dispute resolution. If we aren’t able to reach an informal resolution within 60 days of your email, and you elect to bring a federal or state statutory claim, common law claim, claim based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, or any other formal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Content, or the Services (each, a “Dispute”), then you agree to resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration, on an individual basis according to the following terms (collectively, the “Arbitration Agreement”):
  • Arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will apply applicable statutes of limitation and all applicable law and will honor claims of privilege recognized by applicable law.
  • If you reside in the EEA, then the Dispute will be solely and finally settled by arbitration administered by the German Arbitration Institute (DIS) in accordance with DIS Rules of Arbitration. Arbitration will occur in Berlin, Germany, unless you and we both agree to conduct it elsewhere. You agree that the courts in Berlin, Germany are the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for court proceedings in the event that this Agreement’s binding arbitration clause is found to be unenforceable.
  • If you reside outside the EEA, then the Dispute will be solely and finally settled by arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules, unless the aggregated amount of the Dispute is $250,000 or more, in which case the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules will apply. Arbitration will occur in San Francisco, California, unless you and we both agree to conduct it elsewhere. You agree that the federal and state courts in San Francisco, California are the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for court proceedings in the event that this Agreement’s binding arbitration clause is found to be unenforceable.
  • In any arbitration, regardless of its location, the parties will not seek discovery from each other, and the arbitrator will not allow parties to engage in discovery; rather, each party will disclose the evidence supporting their positions at a mutually agreeable time and date prior to the final arbitration hearing.
  • This Arbitration Agreement covers the enforceability, revocability, scope, and validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, and all other Disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or applicability of the Arbitration Agreement; and all such matters will be decided by the arbitrator and not by a court or judge.
  • If the arbitrator or arbitration administrator imposes 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.
  • At the request of either party, all arbitration proceedings will be conducted in utmost secrecy and, in such case, all documents, testimony, and records will be received, heard, and maintained by the arbitrator in secrecy under seal, available for inspection only by the parties, their respective attorneys, and their respective experts, consultants, or witnesses who have agreed, in advance and in writing, to receive all such information as confidential to be used solely for purposes of the arbitration.
  • Other than class procedures and remedies discussed in this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court.
  • Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  • If the requirement to arbitrate or the prohibition against class actions and other Disputes brought on behalf of third parties contained in this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable, then only the unenforceable provisions will be deemed to have been removed from these Terms and all remaining obligations in these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
15.3 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by this Arbitration Agreement by sending an email from the address you used to set up your application to legalnotice@toolsforhumanity.com with the Subject Line: “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT. You must send your email within 30 days of agreeing to these Terms, otherwise you will be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, we will also not be bound by the Arbitration Agreement.
15.4 Changes to this Arbitration Agreement. We will provide you 30 days’ notice of any changes to the section of these Terms titled “Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Waiver of Class Action” by notice to you, and the changes will become effective 30 days after you receive notice from us. Changes to the Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Waiver of Class Action section will otherwise apply prospectively only to Disputes that arise after the 30th day. If a court or arbitrator decides that the changes to this sectionare not enforceable or valid, then the changes will be severed from these Terms and the court or arbitrator will apply the terms of the first Arbitration Agreement in effect after you began using the Services. You may exercise your right to opt out of the new Arbitration Agreement terms by following the procedures set forth in the section above titled “30-Day Right to Opt Out.”
This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of these Terms, and your use of the Services.
Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Agreement to the contrary, either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above.
16. General Provisions
