Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy and, for pool members, the Pool Service Agreement, govern your access to and use of the websites of Soqucoin Labs Inc. ("SOQUPOOL", "we", "our", "us"), including soqupool.com and api.soqupool.com, and the member and operator consoles (the "Sites"), and any services provided through them. These Terms and any additional terms, policies, and disclosures to which you have agreed are collectively the "Agreement". Please read these Terms carefully.
Your use of a Site is governed by the version of these Terms in effect on the date of use. SOQUPOOL may modify these Terms at any time. By using a Site you agree to review the current Terms before each use; continued use constitutes acceptance of the then-current Terms. These Terms are in addition to any other agreements between you and SOQUPOOL, including the Pool Service Agreement for mining members.
SOQUPOOL reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without notice, to change, improve, or correct information and materials on the Sites, and to suspend or deny access for maintenance, upgrades, or corrections. Information on the Sites may contain typographical errors or inaccuracies. Dated information speaks only as of its date, and SOQUPOOL undertakes no obligation to update it. SOQUPOOL may discontinue or change any product or service described on the Sites at any time, and further reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to block or otherwise discontinue your access to and use of the Sites at any time and for any reason. You agree that SOQUPOOL and its affiliates will not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuance.
1. Authorized users
Certain services and pages, including the member and operator consoles, are available only to users SOQUPOOL has authorized. Authorization requires completing SOQUPOOL's vetted-access onboarding: account registration, email verification, identity verification through our verification processor, and operator approval, as described in the Pool Service Agreement.
Unauthorized use of the Sites or our systems is strictly prohibited, including attempted access to restricted areas, misuse or sharing of credentials, password mining, screen-scraping, data-scraping, or any automated collection of data from the Sites. You may not use the Sites in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair them, or interfere with any other party's use. You agree to notify us immediately if you learn or suspect your credentials have been compromised; you are responsible for unauthorized use that occurs before you notify us and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act. We may suspend or cancel access we suspect is being used in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner, with or without notice from you.
Report unauthorized or suspicious activity to mining@soqu.org.
2. No advice; digital-asset risk
Nothing on the Sites is investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice, and nothing on the Sites is an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security or financial instrument. Mining rewards are digital assets: their value is volatile and may be zero. Soqucoin (SOQ) has no established market price before mainnet launch, and any illustrative values shown on the Sites (for example in the calculator) are estimates or hypothetical scenarios, not predictions or promises. Network difficulty, block luck, protocol changes, and regulation can each materially change mining outcomes. You are solely responsible for evaluating these risks and for your own tax and legal obligations.
3. Disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability
THE INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES ON THE SITES ARE PROVIDED ON A STRICTLY "AS IS", "WHERE IS", AND "WHERE AVAILABLE" BASIS. SOQUPOOL MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE INFORMATION OR SERVICES PROVIDED ON THE SITES OR YOUR USE OF THE SITES, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOQUPOOL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM INTERCEPTION BY THIRD PARTIES OF INFORMATION MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE SITES. ALTHOUGH INFORMATION ON THE SITES IS OBTAINED OR COMPILED FROM SOURCES WE BELIEVE RELIABLE, SOQUPOOL DOES NOT GUARANTEE ITS ACCURACY, VALIDITY, TIMELINESS, OR COMPLETENESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
NEITHER SOQUPOOL NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, OR EMPLOYEES, NOR ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER OF CONTENT, SOFTWARE, OR TECHNOLOGY, WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM ANY FAILURE OR INTERRUPTION OF THE SITES, FROM THE ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN MAKING THE SITES OR THEIR DATA AVAILABLE, OR FROM ANY OTHER CAUSE RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SITES, WHETHER OR NOT WITHIN SOQUPOOL'S CONTROL. IN NO EVENT WILL SOQUPOOL BE LIABLE, IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY, INCLUDING DAMAGES ARISING FROM VIRUSES, EQUIPMENT OR COMMUNICATION FAILURES, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, THEFT, OPERATOR ERROR, LABOR DISPUTES, OR FORCE MAJEURE. SOQUPOOL DOES NOT GUARANTEE CONTINUOUS, UNINTERRUPTED, OR SECURE ACCESS TO THE SITES.
4. Proprietary rights
All right, title, and interest in the Sites and their content belong to SOQUPOOL except as otherwise stated. The Sites are for your personal, non-commercial use. You may print or download limited amounts of information for personal use, provided you do not remove copyright or other notices. You may not otherwise modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, reproduce, publish, license, frame, create derivative works from, or transfer any information, software, products, or services obtained from the Sites for commercial or public purposes without SOQUPOOL's prior written approval. SOQUPOOL, the SOQUPOOL logo, and related marks are marks of Soqucoin Labs Inc.; other names mentioned may be marks of their respective owners. You may not use any marks, including as metatags, without written permission of the owner.
5. Links and third-party content
The Sites may link to third-party websites or services. Links are provided only as a convenience and do not imply affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or verification by SOQUPOOL. SOQUPOOL is not responsible for the content, terms, or privacy practices of any third-party site. Any content originated by parties other than SOQUPOOL is the sole responsibility of its originator; SOQUPOOL does not control it, makes no representations about it, and reserves the right (without obligation) to remove it.
You expressly authorize third parties, including your internet service provider, financial institution, government organizations, and other authoritative data sources, to disclose data to SOQUPOOL and its data-processing partners solely for identity validation and fraud prevention, and you authorize SOQUPOOL to disclose data to its data-processing partners solely for those purposes. Our Privacy Policy describes how we treat your data.
6. Claims of copyright infringement
SOQUPOOL respects the intellectual property of others and will process notices of alleged infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Send written notifications to: Legal, Soqucoin Labs Inc., 228 Park Ave S, PMB 85451, New York, NY 10003, or mining@soqu.org. To be effective, a notification must include: a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act for the rights owner; a description of the work claimed to be infringed; a description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on the Sites, with enough detail for us to find it; your address, telephone number, and email address; a statement of your good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are, or are authorized to act for, the owner.
7. Indemnity and release
You agree to release, indemnify, and hold SOQUPOOL harmless from all losses, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), rights, claims, and actions of any kind arising out of or relating to your use of the Sites. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." If you reside elsewhere, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.
8. Choice of law and arbitration
The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, conducted in English before a single arbitrator in New York City; judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration must be commenced within one year after the claim arises. If any provision of the Agreement is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remainder will continue in effect. The Agreement is the entire agreement regarding the Sites and supersedes prior communications on that subject. A printed version of the Agreement is admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings.
