Terms of Service
Last updated:
Welcome to Peer Attestation ("the Service", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Who can use the Service
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must provide accurate information about yourself. Pretending to be someone else, or using a fake name or photo, is a breach of these Terms.
- You must have the legal capacity to enter into a contract in your jurisdiction.
- If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
2. What the Service does
The Service records peer attestations about trades that happened off-platform and produces a transparent trust score from those records. We do not process payments for trades. We do not hold funds. We do not guarantee the outcome of any trade.
3. Prohibited uses
You may not use the Service to:
- Commit fraud, launder money, or assist others in doing so.
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity.
- Fabricate, collude on, or pay for trade attestations (fake trades, recycled counterparties, attestation-for-hire schemes).
- Harvest data from the Service by automated means, scrape profile pages at scale, or circumvent rate limits or access controls.
- Upload content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, or harassing.
- Reverse engineer the Service, attempt to extract the trust-score formula beyond what we publish, or interfere with the operation of the Service.
- Use the Service to stalk, harass, or threaten any person.
4. Your account
You are responsible for activity on your account. Keep your login credentials private. Tell us promptly if you suspect your account has been accessed by someone else. We issue authentication via email magic links; losing access to your email can mean losing access to your account. Account recovery procedures are described in-product.
5. Your content
You retain ownership of the content you submit (bios, screenshots, trade descriptions). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and process that content as needed to run the Service, including showing your public profile to other users and search engines if your profile is public.
Attestations you write about another user's trades become part of the shared record and may be displayed on the Service after submission. You represent that every attestation you make is truthful to the best of your knowledge.
6. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, engaged in fraud, or put other users at risk. We will tell you why when we can do so without prejudicing an investigation.
You may delete your account at any time from your settings. Some records (attestations about trades, fraud-related findings) may be retained after deletion to preserve the integrity of other users' records, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
7. Disputes between users
The Service provides a dispute flow for trade records. We review disputes in good faith but we are not a court, an arbitrator, or a payment processor. Outcomes reflect our best assessment of the evidence provided and can be appealed through the in-product appeal channel. We are not liable for the outcome of any off-platform trade.
8. No warranty
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We do not warrant the accuracy of trust scores, verification badges, or any content submitted by users. Trust scores are inputs to your decision, not a substitute for your own due diligence.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits or revenue, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or (b) one hundred US dollars. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, the above limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against third-party claims arising from your violation of these Terms, your content, or your misuse of the Service.
11. Dispute resolution and governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, in English, seated in Delaware. Each party waives the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for infringement of intellectual property rights.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may modify these Terms. We will notify you of material changes by email and by a notice on the Service at least seven days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept them. If you do not accept them, stop using the Service.
13. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, and logos, is owned by us and our licensors. You may not use our trademarks without our written permission. DMCA takedown procedures are described in our DMCA Policy.
14. Third-party services
The Service uses third-party infrastructure (see our Privacy Policyfor the list). We are not responsible for those services' availability or acts. Your use of the Service is also governed by their terms where applicable.
