Terms of Use

LAST REVISED ON: October 15th, 2024

‍

Hello, and welcome to the my.locker Terms of Use (these “Terms”). These Terms are important because they describe your rights and obligations when using the Services and Products (defined below) offered by us or our affiliates. 

‍

Please note that these Terms contain Indemnification, Governing Law and Venue, Dispute Resolution, Assumption of Risk and Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability sections that affect your rights, including your ability to bring legal claims against us. Please read these Terms, our Privacy Policy  (the “Privacy Policy”) and any other terms referenced in this document carefully.  If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms of Use, you are not permitted to use our Services. 

‍

1. Introduction

my.locker and orangedomains.com are operated by Orange Domains LLC,  (referred to herein as “.locker”, “Orange Domains”, “we”, or “us.”).  By accessing or using my.locker or orangedomains.com and any other website, browser extensions, mobile applications, desktop applications, web applications, or as otherwise accessing or utilizing any of the services we provide as further set forth herein and/or any other agreement(s) into which we and you enter (collectively, the “Services” or “Products”), you agree that you have read, understand, and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in these Terms, including Section 9 ("Dispute Resolution"), as well as the Privacy Policy. 

My.locker provides a digital identity on a blockchain network that corresponds to a separately registered domain name. Individuals can register a .locker domain name with our ICANN accredited Registry Partners, and utilize my.locker to register their corresponding Web3 digital identity. 

‍

2. Using Our Services

Eligibility. To be eligible to use the Services you must be of the legal age in the jurisdiction you are resident in at the time of using the Services. If you are below the legal age in your jurisdiction, you are prohibited from using the Services. 

‍

Updates to Terms of Use. Your use of the Services is subject to your agreement to these Terms, which may be updated by us at any time with or without notice to you. The Effective Date of the most up to date Terms will be provided at the top of each version of these Terms, respectively. Any such updates will be effective upon our publishing such updated Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not use the Services.

‍

Updates to the Services. We may update and change our Services from time to time, for example, to reflect changes to our products, our users' needs and our business priorities. We will try to give you reasonable notice of any major changes. 

‍

.locker Digital Identity. In order to use certain portions of our Services, you will need to create a .locker Web3 Digital Identity (“Digital Identity”) that corresponds to the same .locker domain that you have separately registered through a domain name registrar. In order to create a Digital Identity, you must utilize a Web3 digital wallet, which is a digital application that allows users to securely store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, as well as other crypto-related assets.  Because your Digital Identity is minted on a blockchain network such as Bitcoin or Stacks, it must reside in a digital wallet.  Orange Domains is not responsible for any compatible wallet you use in order to register your Digital Identity.  By creating a Digital Identity, you agree: (a) to maintain the security of your password or Secret Key of your Web3 digital wallet and accept all risks of unauthorized access involving your credentials and the information you provide to us; (b) to immediately notify us if you discover or otherwise suspect any security breaches related to the Services, or your credentials used on the Services; (c) that you will use our Services only for yourself, and not on behalf of any third party, unless authorized by such third party; and (d) that you are fully responsible for all activity on the Services that occurs under your Digital Identity. 

‍

We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to allow you to create a Digital Identity, or limit the number of Digital Identities that you may associate with the Services, or suspend or terminate any Digital Identity or access to the Services. 

‍

Account Communication. By creating a .locker Digital Identity, you agree to receive service related electronic communications from us. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including, but not limited to, that such communications be in writing. 

‍

3. Representations and Warranties

You hereby represent and warrant that your use of the Services and/or any of the Platform complies with any and all applicable laws and does not infringe upon any third-party rights, including but not limited to any intellectual property rights, privacy rights and publicity rights, and that your use will not violate these Terms or any such laws and/or rights.

‍

4. Assumption of Risk

By accessing and using the Services, you represent that you understand the risks inherent to and associated with blockchain networks and cryptographic systems and warrant that you have the technical sophistication and working knowledge required to use, engage, or interact with blockchain networks, cryptographic systems, smart contracts, and digital assets, such as Bitcoin (BTC), and Stacks (STX) (collectively, “Blockchain Technologies”).

By accessing and using the Services in any manner, you (i) acknowledge that you have reviewed publicly-available materials sufficient to ensure that you understand how the Platform and any associated blockchain network(s) function; and (ii) assume all risks associated with such use and the use of any Blockchain Technologies, including, but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and internet connections failure or problems, the risk of malicious software introduction, the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your Wallet, and/or the risk of total loss of any digital assets employed to interact with the Platform (e.g., arising out of or in connection with exploits of and/or defects in any underlying or associated software code, etc.). You accept and acknowledge that we will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using any Blockchain Technologies for processing transactions, however caused.

Additionally, you understand that the markets for digital assets are nascent and highly volatile due to risk factors including (but not limited to) adoption, speculation, technology, security, and regulation. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for any of these variables or risks, do not own or control any blockchain, and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses that you experience as a result of your use of Blockchain Technologies. Accordingly, you understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using Blockchain Technologies as part of your use of the Services.

‍

4.1 Non-Custodial and No Fiduciary Duties

My.locker is purely a non-custodial application, meaning we do not retain  custody, possession, or control of your digital assets or the digital assets displayed. It further means you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets that hold your Digital Identity. You should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. We accept no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of any wallet needed to register a .locker Digital Identity and make no representations or warranties regarding how any of our Products will operate with any specific wallet. Likewise, you are solely responsible for your use of the .locker Digital Identity and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with or as a result of your Digital Identity  being compromised.
‍
This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that we owe no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party, and that to the extent any such duties or liabilities may exist at law or in equity, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and eliminated. You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we owe you are those set out expressly in this Agreement.

‍

5. Termination of Access to Services 

Suspension, Termination, and Cancellation. We may, at our option and in our sole discretion: (a) suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to any or all of the Services, and/or (b) deactivate or cancel your Digital Identity, if: (i) we are so required by a facially valid subpoena, court order or binding order of any government authority; (ii) we reasonably suspect you of using the Services in connection with any Prohibited Uses (as defined below); (iii) your use of the Services is subject to any pending litigation, investigation, or government proceeding and/or we, in our sole discretion, perceive a heightened risk of legal or regulatory non-compliance associated with your activity; (iv) any of our service partners are unable to support your use thereof; (v) you take any action that we deems in its sole discretion as circumventing our controls, or abusing promotions which we may offer from time to time; or (vi) you breach these Terms. 

If we suspend or close your Digital Identity or terminate your use of the Services for any reason, we will provide you with notice of our actions, unless a court order or other legal process prevents or prohibits us from providing you with such notice. You acknowledge that our decision to take certain actions, including limiting access to or suspending your Digital Identity, may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to our risk management and/or security protocols. You agree that we are under no obligation to disclose the details of its risk management and/or security procedures to you.
