By accessing or using The Grotto ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Platform. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of any changes.
You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. You must be 18 years of age or older to create an account, sign in, or otherwise use the Platform. By accessing or using the Platform, you affirm that you meet this minimum age requirement and that all information you provide regarding your age and identity is accurate and truthful. If you are under the age of 18, you are not permitted to create an account or use the Platform under any circumstances, including with the consent or supervision of a parent or guardian. We reserve the right to request proof of age at any time and to suspend or permanently terminate any account that we believe, in our sole discretion, belongs to a person under 18 years of age. You agree that any misrepresentation of your age constitutes a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination of your account, forfeiture of any associated assets to the extent permitted by law, and potential legal action.
To access certain features of the Platform, you must sign in with a compatible account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your linked account and any activity that occurs through your signed-in account. We do not have access to your private keys or seed phrases and cannot recover your wallet if lost. As stated in Section 2, account creation requires that you be at least 18 years of age.
When you upload games, assets, or other content to the Platform, you retain ownership of your intellectual property. However, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and promote your content on the Platform. You represent that you have all necessary rights to upload and share such content.
All transactions on the Platform are conducted through smart contracts on the blockchain. Transactions are irreversible once confirmed. We are not responsible for any losses due to user error, wallet issues, or blockchain network failures. All prices are displayed in the specified cryptocurrency and may fluctuate in value.
You agree not to: upload content that infringes on intellectual property rights; engage in fraudulent or deceptive practices; attempt to manipulate platform mechanics or exploit bugs; upload malicious software or code; harass other users; or use the Platform for any illegal purposes. Violation may result in account termination.
The Platform is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee the availability, security, or accuracy of the Platform. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including but not limited to any damages arising from compulsive use, behavioral addiction, or related health conditions. Your use of the Platform is at your own risk. We do not provide financial, investment, legal, or medical advice. See Section 9 for additional information regarding platform use and addiction risks.
Any disputes arising from your use of the Platform shall be resolved through binding arbitration. You waive your right to participate in class action lawsuits. These terms shall be governed by applicable law. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in effect.
You acknowledge and agree that interactive digital platforms, including gaming platforms, marketplaces, token trading, and social features, may carry a risk of compulsive or addictive use. The Platform incorporates features such as real-time trading, collectible acquisition, gamified mechanics, social engagement, and token-based economies that may be psychologically engaging and, for some individuals, habit-forming. By using the Platform, you expressly acknowledge that: (a) you understand the potential risks of excessive or compulsive use of digital platforms, gaming services, and cryptocurrency trading; (b) you are solely responsible for monitoring and managing your own usage, screen time, and spending habits; (c) you voluntarily assume all risks related to your engagement with the Platform, including any effects on your mental health, physical health, financial well-being, or personal relationships; and (d) you have not been advised by The Grotto or any of its affiliates, employees, or representatives that the Platform is free from addictive properties or psychological risks. The Grotto, its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors (collectively, "The Grotto Parties") shall not be held liable for any claims, damages, losses, or expenses — whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive — arising from or related to: (i) addictive or compulsive use of the Platform; (ii) any mental health conditions, behavioral disorders, or psychological effects associated with Platform use; (iii) financial losses resulting from compulsive trading, purchasing, or gambling-like behaviors on the Platform; or (iv) any failure by you to seek professional help for addiction-related concerns. This limitation of liability applies regardless of the legal theory under which such liability is asserted and regardless of whether The Grotto Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages. You agree to waive, release, and discharge The Grotto Parties from any and all claims or causes of action related to addiction, compulsive use, or any associated illness, injury, or damages. This waiver applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If you believe you or someone you know may be experiencing addiction or compulsive behavior related to gaming, digital platforms, or cryptocurrency, we encourage you to seek professional assistance.
