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 dappHero Corp. d/b/a Tally, a Delaware corporation (“Tally,” 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://privacy.tally.xyz/ (“Privacy Policy”). All such additional terms, guidelines, and rules, including our Privacy Policy, are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

BY SIGNING MESSAGE TO BE RECORDED ON‑CHAIN THAT INCLUDES A LINK TO THESE TERMS 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 Tally. The information below provides important details about the legal obligations associated with your use of the Platform.
1. Description of the Platform
- Tally is a web‑hosted platform which provides a user interface through which DAOs and their members may conduct certain on‑chain governance functionalities, including but not limited to, (i) indexing and organizing public information about the DAOs, which include the management of member identities and voting power, managing on‑chain DAO assets, and managing governance proposals; and (ii) helping DAO members construct blockchain transactions to interact with their DAOs, including updating their user profiles and governance campaigns, delegating their voting power to other parties, creating and voting on on‑chain DAO proposals, and executing passed DAO proposals.
- Additionally, users can use their own funds, managed and custodied by the users in self‑hosted wallets or third‑party wallets not managed by Tally, to participate in Token Sales through our user interface.
- In order to use the Platform to interact with or conduct any DAO activities or participate in any Token Sale, including constructing transactions to delegate, vote, and create governance proposals, you must connect your applicable blockchain wallet to the Platform. When you initiate a wallet connection, a sign‑in request will be prompted by the Platform. You must complete this prompt in order to successfully connect your blockchain wallet.
- To the extent you wish to create a public user profile on Tally, you must register an account on Tally by connecting your blockchain wallet in order to verify your control of such wallet.
- You may sign out of the Platform’s (i) on‑chain services by disconnecting your blockchain wallet, and (ii) off‑chain services (if applicable) by logging out of the Platform.
2. Who Can Use the Platform
- As a condition to accessing or using the Platform, you represent and warrant to Tally the following:
- if you are entering into these Terms as an individual, then you are at least 18 years old or of legal age in the jurisdiction in which you reside and you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms and be bound by them;
- if you are entering into these Terms as an Entity (defined below), then you must have the legal authority to accept these Terms on such entity’s behalf, in which case “you” (except as used in this paragraph) will mean such Entity;
For purposes of these Terms, “Entity” means a corporation; partnership; trust; incorporated or unincorporated association; joint venture; limited liability company; joint stock company; or an organization managed, in whole or in part, by decentralized computer program, whereby the voting and financial governance of such organization is conducted through a shared and immutable digital distributed ledger.
- you are the exclusive beneficial and/or legal owner of any digital asset used or to be used for the purchase or sale of any digital asset on the Platform;
- you are not a resident, national, or agent of the Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk Region of Ukraine, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Syria, Venezuela, or any other country to which the United States, the United Kingdom or the European Union embargoes goods or imposes similar sanctions (collectively, “Restricted Territories”);
- you have not been identified as a Specially Designated National or placed on any sanctions list by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Commerce Department, or the U.S. Department of State (collectively, “Sanctions Lists Persons”); and you will not use our Platform to conduct any illegal or illicit activity;
- you do not intend to transact with any Restricted Person or Sanctions List Person;
- you do not, and will not, use VPN software or any other privacy or anonymization tools or techniques to circumvent, or attempt to circumvent, any restrictions that apply to the Platform; and
- your access to the Platform is not (a) prohibited by and does not otherwise violate or assist you to violate any domestic or foreign law, rule, statute, regulation, by‑law, order, protocol, code, decree, or another directive, requirement, or guideline, published or in force that applies to or is otherwise intended to govern or regulate any person, property, transaction, activity, event or other matter, including any rule, order, judgment, directive or other requirement or guideline issued by any domestic or foreign federal, provincial or state, municipal, local or other governmental, regulatory, judicial or administrative authority having jurisdiction over Tally, you, the Platform, or as otherwise duly enacted, enforceable by law, the common law or equity (collectively, “Applicable Laws”); or (b) contribute to or facilitate any illegal activity.
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 Tally. 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, Tally provides only the technical infrastructure, including tokenization smart contracts and a token sale user interface, that allows users to interact with those Issuer Tokens. Tally 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. Further, because Tally only provides the auction interface and infrastructure for Token Sales, you may need to communicate with Issuers directly to obtain detailed information with respect to any Issuer Tokens for the Token Sales process on our Platform.
- For each offering for all Token Sales, Tally may in its sole discretion require verification of all users. Such verification may require you to disclose personal information to Tally 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. If you do not want to provide such information, you may not be able to participate in any Token Sales on our Platform.
- 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) Tally is not responsible for, and does not guarantee, the accuracy, completeness, legality, or performance of any Issuer, Issuer Token, or Issuer Terms.
- Tally may receive fees or other consideration from Issuers in connection with token launch services, including administrative fees and portions of protocol‑level trading fees, which may be paid via on‑chain smart contracts or other technical mechanisms, pursuant to separate agreements between Tally and the relevant Issuer. 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. To be clear, Tally does not charge you fees for your participation in Token Sales; Tally charges fees to the Issuers.
- Tally 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 Tally believes there may be fraud, technical issues, or other risks. As mentioned above, access to any token sale or auction may also be subject to identity verification, sanctions screening, and jurisdictional checks performed by third‑party KYC/AML providers, and Tally may rely on the results of such checks to allow or deny your participation. You agree to allow such third‑party KYC/AML providers access to your personal information when you participate in Token Sales.
5. Prohibited Activity

The specific activities set forth below are representative, but not exhaustive, of Prohibited Uses.

9. Accuracy of Information
- We attempt to ensure that the information that we provide on the Platform is complete, accurate and current. Despite our efforts, the information on the Platform may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. We make no representation as to the completeness, accuracy or correctness of any information on the Platform.
10. Platform Risk Disclosure
- Blockchain networks use public/private key cryptography. You alone are responsible for securing your private key(s). We do not have access to your private key(s). Losing control of your private key(s) will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to cryptoassets on the applicable blockchain. Neither Tally nor any other person or entity will be able to retrieve or protect your cryptoassets. If your private key(s) are lost, then you will not be able to transfer your cryptoassets to any other blockchain address or wallet. If this occurs, then you will not be able to realize any value or utility from the cryptoassets that you may hold.
- Cryptography is a progressing field with advances in code cracking or other technical advancements, such as the development of quantum computers, which may present risks to cryptoassets and the Platform, and could result in the theft or loss of your cryptoassets.
- All blockchain technology remains under development, which creates technological and security risks when using the Platform in addition to uncertainty relating to cryptoassets and transactions therein. You acknowledge that the cost of transacting on the applicable blockchain is variable and may increase at any time causing impact to any activities taking place on the applicable blockchain, which may result in price fluctuations or increased costs when using the Platform.
- The Platform remains under development, which creates technological, trading, and other risks when using or accessing the Platform. You acknowledge and understand that the Platform is subject to flaws and that you are solely responsible for evaluating any code provided by the Platform. These risks include, among others, delays in the submission of votes or governance proposals; or an incorrect display of information on the Platform. You acknowledge that these risks may have a material impact on the ability to monitor malicious or erroneous activity, your ability to participate in governance, the ability for governance to be carried out effectively, and the operation of the applicable DAO. This warning and others Tally provides in these Terms in no way evidence or represent an on‑going duty to alert you to all of the potential risks of using or accessing the Platform.
- You understand and acknowledge that the Platform is one of many methods of accessing information stored on the blockchain network. Although we intend to provide accurate and timely information on the Platform, the Platform and other information available when using the Platform may not always be entirely accurate, complete, or current and may also include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. To continue to provide you with as complete and accurate information as possible, information may be changed or updated from time to time without notice, including, without limitation, information regarding our policies. Accordingly, you should ensure that you have alternative methods of accessing any material information (including vote tallies, governance proposals, or other key metrics or information) on the relevant blockchain network, verify all information before relying on it, and all decisions based on information contained on the Platform are your sole responsibility. No representation is made as to the accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness for any particular purpose of any governance‑related information distributed via the Platform including the governance proposals, status of governance proposals and voting information. Prices and pricing information may be higher or lower than prices available on platforms providing similar services.
- Any reference to a type of digital asset on the Platform, including for Token Sales, does not indicate our approval or disapproval of the technology on which the digital asset relies, and should not be used as a substitute for your understanding of the risks specific to each type of digital asset. Neither does any reference or the presence of an Issuer Token on our platform indicate any approval or disapproval of the Issuer, or the Issuer Token for any reason, including but not limited to its suitability as an investment. No reference to an Issuer Token shall be construed by you as financial advice by Tally – Tally is not a financial adviser or an investment adviser.
- Transactions entered into in connection with the Platform are irreversible and final. You acknowledge and agree that you will access and use the Platform at your own risk. By using or accessing the Platform, you represent and warrant that you have been, are, and will be solely responsible for making your independent appraisal and investigations into the risks of participating in or operating a DAO or in Token Sales. You represent and warrant that you have sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice, and experience to make your evaluation of the merits and risks of any transaction conducted in connection with the Platform or any digital asset. You represent that you understand the inherent risks associated with cryptographic systems and blockchain‑based networks; DAOs and cryptoassets, including the usage and intricacies of native cryptoassets, smart contract‑based tokens, such as those that are issued on a blockchain, Token Sales, Issuer Tokens; and systems that interact with blockchain‑based networks. You accept all consequences of using the Platform, including the risk that you may lose access to your cryptoassets indefinitely. All transaction decisions are made solely by you. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms, we accept no responsibility whatsoever for, and will in no circumstances be liable to you in connection with, your use of the Platform for performing digital asset transactions.
- We must comply with Applicable Law, which may require us to, upon request by government agencies, take certain actions or provide information, which may not be in your best interests. The Platform and your cryptoassets could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory actions, which could impede or limit the ability of Tally to continue to make available any portion(s) of the Platform which rely on any Tally proprietary software and, thus, could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Platform.
- You hereby acknowledge and agree that Tally will have no responsibility or liability for, the risks set forth in this section. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against Tally, its affiliates, and their respective shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives, suppliers, and contractors related to any of the risks set forth herein.
11. Personal Data

Please see our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference and available at https://privacy.tally.xyz for further information about how we process your Personal Data, and the rights you have in respect of this.
12. Indemnification
- You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tally, its affiliates, and its and its affiliates’ respective stockholders, members, directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, suppliers, and contractors (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from any claim, demand, lawsuit, action, proceeding, investigation, liability, damage, loss, cost or expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (a) your use of, or conduct in connection with, the Platform; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your infringement or misappropriation of the rights of any other person or entity. If you are obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party, Tally (or, at its discretion, the applicable Indemnified Party) will have the right, in its sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether Tally wishes to settle, and if so, on what terms, and you agree to cooperate with Tally in the defense.
13. Disclosures; Disclaimers
- Tally shall not be responsible in any way for any transactions you enter into with other users. You agree that Tally will not be liable for any loss or damages of any sort incurred as the result of any interactions between you and other users.
- You acknowledge that your data on the Platform may become irretrievably lost or corrupted or temporarily unavailable due to a variety of causes, and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by denial‑of‑service attacks, software failures, viruses or other technologically harmful materials (including those which may infect your computer equipment), protocol changes by third‑party providers, internet outages, force majeure events or other disasters, scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, or other causes either within or outside our control.
- The disclaimer of implied warranties contained herein may not apply if and to the extent such warranties cannot be excluded or limited under the Applicable Law of the jurisdiction in which you reside.
- THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS‑IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND TALLY (AND OUR SUPPLIERS) EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ALL WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, OR NON‑INFRINGEMENT. WE (AND OUR SUPPLIERS) MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, WILL BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR‑FREE BASIS, OR WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL CODE, COMPLETE, LEGAL, OR SAFE. IF APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES ANY WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PLATFORM, ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF FIRST USE.
- TALLY DOES NOT ENDORSE ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY AND SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY TRANSACTIONS YOU ENTER INTO WITH OTHER USERS. YOU AGREE THAT TALLY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY SORT INCURRED AS THE RESULT OF ANY INTERACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND OTHER USERS.
- SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
14. Limitation of Liability
- TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL TALLY BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF TALLY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

- SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
15. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
- Please read this section (the “Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with Tally 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 Tally 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. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Tally, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
- 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 (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process through personal service at their corporate headquarters, registered address, or primary address (for individuals or sole proprietors). Nothing in these Terms will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. After the Notice is received, you and Tally may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Tally do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
- Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1‑800‑778‑7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non‑appearance‑based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that Tally made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, Tally will pay you the greater of the award or US $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
- 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. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
- Time Limits. If you or Tally pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
- Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Tally, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority 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. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Tally.
- 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. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE TYPICALLY MORE LIMITED, MORE EFFICIENT AND LESS COSTLY THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN A COURT AND ARE SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. IN THE EVENT ANY LITIGATION SHOULD ARISE BETWEEN YOU AND TALLY IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN A SUIT TO VACATE OR ENFORCE AN ARBITRATION AWARD OR OTHERWISE, YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, INSTEAD ELECTING THAT THE DISPUTE BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE.
- 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. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law.
