2. ACCESS AND USE OF THE SERVICES

2.1. You may use the Services only if you are 18 years or older and capable of forming a binding contract with Myrmidon Staking, and not otherwise barred from using the Services under these Terms and conditions or applicable law.

During the term of this Agreement, we will provide you access to and use of the Services, which shall be accessible through the internet. Your right to access and use the Services hereunder is limited, non-sublicensable and subject to your full compliance with the Terms and conditions.

As between you and Myrmidon Staking, staking assets using the Services does not affect your ownership of the assets. When you stake assets you own, you continue to own those assets. Title to such assets remains with you and is not transferred to Myrmidon Staking.

To obtain Validation Services, you may be required to transfer the minimum Stake according to each individual blockchain. Some Supported Blockchains may require you to establish a Withdrawal Key corresponding to the Stake Contract. We will not take possession of your Stake or the private key component of any Withdrawal Key created.

You authorize Myrmidon Staking to create a Validator Signing Key and use it to sign blockchain transactions as required for the performance of Validation Services. In the event that you choose to withdraw your Stake or terminate the Validation Services, this Validator Signing Key will no longer be functional. Subject to the operation of the blockchain, the creation of a new Validator Signing Key may be required for each time you stake tokens using the Validation Services.

You agree that you will not (and will not authorize, permit, or encourage any third party to): (i) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the accounts of other Users of the Services; (ii) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the information of other Users of the Services or use the information of other Users of the Services; (iii) use the Services in violation of any Applicable Law; (iv) use the Services to harass or harm any other User or other person in any way; (v) use the Services to build a competitive product or service, or for any purpose not specifically permitted in this Agreement; (vi) interfere with or disrupt the Services; (vii) attempt to circumvent any security measure associated with the Services, access the Services from any location in which it is not offered, or attempt to circumvent any access restrictions; (viii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discern the source code or any other aspect of the Services; (ix) modify, adapt, or create (or attempt to create) derivative works from the Services; (x) make any copies of the Services (or any portion thereof); (xi) resell, distribute, or sublicense the Services; (xii) remove or modify any proprietary marking or restrictive legends placed on the Services; or (xiv) introduce, post, upload, transmit, or otherwise make available to or from the Services any Prohibited Content.

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are not a Restricted Person and do not reside in a Restricted Territory.

The Services may allow you to access third-party websites or other resources. We provide access only as a convenience and are not responsible for the content, products or services on or available from those resources or links displayed on such websites. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from, your use of any third-party resources.

We reserve the right to assist you in the event that you lose control of your wallet, but we are not required to assist you.

3. OBLIGATIONS

3.1. Our Obligations. During the Term (as defined below), we shall: (i) remit to you your share of Net Rewards as set forth in Section 3;

3.2. Your Obligations. During the Term, you shall delegate your Tokens, as you elect from time and time, and you shall pay your taxes as set forth in Section 3.2. Unless otherwise set forth in the Applicable Terms: (i) there are no minimum or maximum number of Tokens you may delegate to us; and (ii) you may delegate or withdraw your Tokens at any time; provided, however, if you withdraw your Tokens during a period within which we have staked your Tokens in order to perform the Service, you will not receive any share of the Net Rewards with respect to such prematurely withdrawn Tokens.

4. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

4.1. We may update the terms and conditions from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we will communicate these changes and how it may apply to you. It is important that you review the terms and conditions whenever we update them, or you use the services we provide. If you continue to use the services after we have posted updated terms and conditions, it means you have accepted and agreed to the changes. If you do not agree to the updated terms and conditions, you may not use the services anymore. Our services evolve over time and therefore, we might change or discontinue all or any part of the services without notice, at our sole discretion.

5. ECONOMIC TERMS

5.1. Remittance of Net Rewards. We shall remit to you a percentage of Net Rewards directly attributable to your Tokens. The percentage and timing of such remittances: (i) vary by Supported Blockchain; (ii) change periodically; and (iii) are governed by the information posted on the Website on the date a remittance to you is due (not the date on which you delegated the Tokens to us). Unless otherwise set forth in the Additional Terms or agreed to in writing by the Parties, all remittances to you shall be in the same cryptocurrency in which the Tokens are denominated.

5.2. Taxes. You are solely responsible for the payment of any applicable taxes with respect to your share of Net Rewards and for any other taxes resulting from the transactions contemplated herein. The Parties agree not to treat this Agreement as giving rise to a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You are responsible for ensuring that you are aware of any tax consequences in your relevant jurisdiction. You hereby agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, managers, employees, and agents from any and all liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with any such taxes and related costs, interest, and penalties. The characterization of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for U.S. federal income tax purposes is unclear, and accordingly the U.S. federal income tax consequences of delegating Tokens and the sharing of Net Rewards is uncertain. Neither Myrmidon Staking nor any of its agents shall provide any advice or guidance with respect to the tax obligations of the Delegator. You are strongly encouraged to seek advice from your own tax advisor to discuss the potential tax consequences of entering into this Agreement and the receipt of any Net Rewards.

5.3. Rewards Transfer. Any transfer of Net Rewards to you shall be made to the wallet from which you delegated the Tokens to us.

6. SLASHING

6.1. Staking is risky. Any token balance you choose to stake on a blockchain may be diminished or lost based on operation of the blockchain, such as, if penalties or slashing are incurred. We will use our competencies and all reasonable efforts to prevent the occurrence of any slashing event or penalties, but we do not guarantee that slashing will not occur.

6.2. In the event that there are slashing or other penalties imposed resulting directly or indirectly and solely from actions taken by Myrmidon Staking that impact you, Myrmidon Staking is not liable nor obligated with respect to slashing or other penalties, including where incurred based on your actions, systems, wallets, software, or services of any third party or any blockchain.
