Please carefully review these Terms of Use (these "Terms"), as they set forth the legally binding terms and conditions that govern your use and access to our web-hosted user interface located at https://www.tally.xyz/ (the "Platform"), including related trademarks, software code, and other intellectual property. The Platform provides access to a user interface through which decentralized autonomous organizations ("DAOs") and their members may conduct certain on-chain governance functionalities, and through which users may obtain access to token sales offered by third parties ("Token Sales") (together, the "Website Activities"). These Terms expressly cover your rights and obligations, and our disclaimers and limitations of legal liability, relating to your use of, and access to, the Platform.
The Platform is a copyrighted work belonging to ScopeLift, a Pennsylvania company ("ScopeLift," the "Company," "us," "our," and "we"). Your submission of information, including personally identifiable information or personal data ("Personal Data"), through or in connection with the Platform is governed by the terms of our privacy policy as updated from time to time, available at https://terms.tally.xyz/privacy.html ("Privacy Policy"). All such additional terms, guidelines, and rules, including our Privacy Policy, are incorporated by reference into these Terms.
THESE TERMS SET FORTH THE LEGALLY BINDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM. BY SIGNING A MESSAGE TO BE RECORDED ON-CHAIN THAT INCLUDES A LINK TO THESE TERMS, OR BY ACCESSING OR USING THE PLATFORM, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ITS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM.
Please carefully review the disclosures and disclaimers set forth below in their entirety before using any software initially developed by ScopeLift. The information below provides important details about the legal obligations associated with your use of the Platform.
3. Fees and Price Estimates
- In connection with your use of the Platform, you are required to pay all gas fees necessary for interacting with the relevant blockchain, as well as all other fees reflected on the Platform, if any; unless such fees are expressly borne by any applicable DAO or third-party token seller for Token Sales, as determined in such applicable party's sole discretion. The value of the gas fee changes, often unpredictably, and is entirely outside of the control of ScopeLift. Although we attempt to provide accurate fee information, this information reflects our estimates of fees, which may vary from the actual fees paid to use the Platform and interact with the applicable blockchain. You acknowledge that under no circumstances will a transaction be invalidated, revocable, retractable, or otherwise unenforceable on the basis that the gas fee for the given transaction was unknown, too high, or otherwise unacceptable to a user. You also acknowledge and agree that the gas fee is non-refundable under all circumstances.
4. Token Launch and Token Sale Services
- From time to time for Token Sales, the Platform may provide certain users who wish to issue their own blockchain-based assets access to smart contracts and interfaces that enable these users (each, an "Issuer") to create, offer, and distribute their own blockchain-based tokens ("Issuer Tokens"). In those cases, ScopeLift provides only the technical infrastructure, including tokenization smart contracts and a token sale user interface, that allows users to interact with those Issuer Tokens. ScopeLift does not issue Issuer Tokens, does not act as a broker, dealer, or custodian with respect to Issuer Tokens, and is not a party to any token purchase between an Issuer and a user.
- For each offering for all Token Sales, ScopeLift may in its sole discretion require verification of all users. Such verification may require you to disclose personal information to ScopeLift or its third-party service provider, which will perform a KYC / AML check to determine and verify your identity prior to permitting participation in the Token Sales process.
- Each token sale or auction is governed by the Issuer's own terms and conditions, risk disclosures, and other legal documentation (collectively, "Issuer Terms"). By choosing to participate in any token sale or auction accessible through the Platform, you acknowledge that (a) your rights and obligations in respect of any Issuer Token are determined solely by the applicable Issuer Terms between you and the Issuer, and (b) ScopeLift is not responsible for, and does not guarantee, the accuracy, completeness, legality, or performance of any Issuer, Issuer Token, or Issuer Terms.
- ScopeLift may receive fees or other consideration from Issuers in connection with token launch services, including administrative fees and portions of protocol-level trading fees. Such arrangements do not create any additional rights for you and do not change the self-custodial nature of your interactions with Issuer Tokens through the Platform. ScopeLift does not currently charge you fees for your participation in Token Sales, but reserves the right to introduce such fees in the future upon notice to you; ScopeLift charges fees to the Issuers.
- ScopeLift may, in its sole and absolute discretion, restrict, suspend, or disable access to any token sale, auction, or Issuer Token at any time, including in order to comply with applicable law, sanctions, or Issuer eligibility rules, or where ScopeLift believes there may be fraud, technical issues, or other risks.

15. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
Please read this section (the "Arbitration Agreement") carefully. It is part of your contract with ScopeLift and affects your rights. It contains procedures for mandatory binding arbitration and a class action waiver.
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) between ScopeLift and any user that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement.
- Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. After the Notice is received, you and ScopeLift may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and ScopeLift do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding.
- Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any in-person hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, or the parties may agree to conduct the hearing by telephone, videoconference, or other remote means. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and ScopeLift.
- Additional Rules for Non-Appearance-Based Arbitration. If non-appearance-based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.
- Time Limits. If you or ScopeLift pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
- Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim, to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms.
Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, INSTEAD ELECTING THAT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER.
- Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential.
- Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
- Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with ScopeLift.
- Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or ScopeLift may bring an individual action in small claims court.
- Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration.
- Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party's patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
- Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the State of Delaware.
16. Governing Law
The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and any dispute related to these Terms or the Platform, will be governed by and construed and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware, as applicable, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
