Terms of Use
Unhidden terms to use Genie
Genie is a platform (the ”Platform”) that empowers projects to better understand and engage with their communities using on-chain data and is operated by INTERN TECH PTE LTD. Genie allows Platform Users to create campaigns based on selected perimeters to distribute rewards to target specific Digital Wallets (the “Services”).
These Terms of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Platform. You must read the Terms carefully.
To make these Terms easier to read:
Genie is referred to as “Genie”, “we”, “us” or “our”.
“You”, “your” and “user(s)” refers to anybody who accesses or uses, in any way, the Platform. If you are accessing or using the Platform on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms and, in that case, “you”, “your” or “user(s)” will refer to that entity.
By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Platform, or by acknowledging agreement to the Terms on the Platform, you agree that you have read, understood, and accepted all of the Terms and our Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), which is incorporated by reference into the Terms.
Genie is only an administrative platform and any services offered to users are administrative in nature. We are not a broker, financial institution, or creditor. Genie is not intended as, and does not provide, any investment advice or financial advice whatsoever. As with any financial or investment decisions, you should conduct your own research and due diligence investigation, to properly evaluate the benefits and risks of any investment or financial transaction. You should also seek the advice and guidance of qualified accountants, financial advisors, tax advisors, legal counsels, and investment advisors, in connection with any investment or financial transaction.
Important note regarding arbitration: when you agree to these terms by using or accessing the platform, you are agreeing to resolve any dispute between you and Genie through binding, individual arbitration rather than in court. And you agree to a class action waiver, both of which impact your rights as to how disputes are resolved.
1. Access to the Platform
We reserve the right to disable access to the Platform at any time in the event of any breach of the Terms, including without limitation, if we, in our sole discretion, believe that you, at any time, fail to satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth in the Terms.

Genie may also require you to provide additional information and/or documents in cases where it has reason to believe that:
Your use of the Services is related to money laundering or any other illegal or illicit activity;
You have concealed or reported false identification information and/or other details; or

In such cases, Genie, in its sole discretion, may pause or cancel your access to any or all Services until such additional information and/or documents are reviewed by us and accepted as satisfying the requirements of applicable law. If you do not provide complete and accurate information and documents in response to such a request, Genie, in its sole discretion, may refuse to provide the Services to you.

The rewards smart contract is generated based on a set of on-chain parameters specified by the Project Account to distribute rewards to eligible Digital Wallets through a claim-based frontend. The Project Account decides on the exact Rewards (defined in Section 4) to be distributed and deposits the required amount into the smart contract address. Genie may provide consultation with regard to as part of Services should the Project Account decide to engage. Otherwise, Genie has no influence nor say in the creation of the Campaign.

Volatility. The price and liquidity of blockchain-based assets, including Digital Asset(s) and NFTs, are extremely volatile and may be subject to fluctuations. Fluctuations in the price of other blockchain-based assets could materially and adversely affect Digital Asset(s). We cannot guarantee that claiming any Digital Asset(s) will not result in the loss of money or other value.
Taxes. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your Digital Wallet(s). Neither Genie nor any other Genie Party is responsible for determining the taxes that apply to any Digital Wallet(s).
Digital Assets / Cryptocurrency. The Services involve and/or rely upon certain blockchain technology, including decentralized, distributed public ledger(s), which offer many benefits, but also present certain inherent risks that you assume by using the Services, including without limitation, that:
A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications, and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility or value of Digital Asset(s).
The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, digital assets, cryptocurrencies and/or so-called “tokens” is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may adversely affect the development of the Services and/or the utility of Digital Asset(s).
9. Dispute Resolution
Binding Arbitration. Except for disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and Genie: (a) waive the right to have any and all disputes or claims arising from these Terms, your use or access to the Platform or any other disputes with the Genie (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in a court; and (b) waive any right to a jury trial. Instead, you and Genie agree to arbitrate Disputes that are not resolved informally (as described below) through binding arbitration (i.e. the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it) instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and Genie agree that any dispute is personal to you and Genie and that any such dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding. Neither party agrees to class arbitration or to an arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and Genie agree that a dispute cannot be brought as a class, or other types of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
Process. You and the Genie agree that each will notify the other, in writing, of any Dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises so that the parties can attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to Genie shall be provided by sending an email to gm@coinhall.org. Your notice must include (1) your name, postal address, and email address; (2) a description of the nature or basis of the Dispute; and (3) the specific action that you are seeking. If you and Genie cannot resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days of Genie receiving the notice, either you or Genie may, as appropriate pursuant to this Section 9, commence an arbitration proceeding. You and Genie agree that any arbitration or claim must be commenced or filed within one (1) year after the Dispute arose; otherwise, you and Genie agree that the claim is permanently barred (which means that you will no longer have the right to assert a claim regarding the Dispute).
Choice of Law. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the state of Singapore, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, govern the Terms and any Dispute between you and us. Any Dispute under these Terms shall be finally settled by Binding Arbitration (as defined below).
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC Rules") for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. You further agree that the Platform shall be deemed to be based solely in Singapore and that, although the Platform may be available in other jurisdictions, its availability does not give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction in any forum outside of Singapore.
Authority of Arbitrator. As limited by these Terms and applicable arbitration rules, the arbitrator will have: (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute; and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual's claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

Waver.
