1. Site Overview
1.1 About the Site
The Site aggregates and publishes publicly available third-party information about:
- the Blever Smart Contract System;
- tokens that exist and have been or may be made available by third parties in connection with the Blever Smart Contract System;
- the implied or express fair market prices of tokens;
- the staking, distribution, and voting of any Blever governance tokens $BLV pursuant to the governance of the Blever Smart Contract System; and
- transaction records on blockchains, for instance “Apechain”, an Arbitrum Orbit chain (the “Blockchain”) relating to the Blever Smart Contract System.
The Site also offers interaction methods whereby the User can indicate a transaction the User would like to perform in connection with the Blever Smart Contract System (such as swapping one token for another). When used in this way, the Site can generate a draft transaction message which the User can independently utilize in conjunction with a third-party wallet application or device to conduct transactions on the Blockchain.
1.2 About Blever
The Blever Smart Contract System allows users to instantiate new digital projects, especially those that create new tokens. It helps these projects introduce themselves, gain attention, and find supporters who want to get constantly involved and form a community. Through a compatible third-party wallet application or device, any User may pay the Blockchain’s validators to operate and record the results of the Blever Smart Contract System in accordance with the User’s instructions, thus effectuating token transactions on the Blockchain.
1.3 Relationship to Blever Smart Contract System
Using the Blockchains or the Blever Smart Contract System does not require the use of the Site. The Site aggregates and publishes publicly available information about the Blockchains and the Blever Smart Contract System in a user-friendly and convenient format. Such information is also independently available from other sources—for example, a person may directly review the Blockchains transaction history, account balances, and the Blever Smart Contract System on the relevant block explorer.
By combining publicly available information with the User’s interactions with the Site, the Site can draft standard transaction messages compatible with the Blever Smart Contract System which are designed to accomplish the User’s operational goals as expressed through the interactions. If the User so wishes, the User may broadcast such messages to the Blockchain in order to initiate token transactions.
All draft transaction messages are delivered by the Site via API to a compatible third-party wallet application or device selected by the User after pressing the “Connect Wallet” button on the Site. The User must personally review and authorize all transaction messages that the User wishes to send to the Blockchain; this requires the User to sign the relevant transaction message with a private cryptographic key inaccessible to the Site. The User-authorized message will then be broadcasted to the Validators of the Blockchain through the wallet application or device and the User may pay a network fee to have the Validators of the Blockchain apply the transaction message to the Blever Smart Contract System and record the results on the Blockchain—resulting in a token transaction being completed on the Blockchain.
The Site Operator and the Site are not agents or intermediaries of the User, do not store or have access to or control over any tokens, private keys, passwords, accounts, or other property of the User, and are not capable of performing transactions or sending transaction messages on behalf of the User. The Site does not hold and cannot purchase, sell, or trade any tokens. All transactions relating to the Blever Smart Contract System are executed and recorded solely through the interactions of the User with the Blockchain’s Validators, who are not under the control of or affiliated with the Site Operator or the Site.
2. Site Operator Discretion; Certain Risks of the Site
Each User hereby acknowledges, agrees, and consents to, and assumes the risks of, the matters described in this Section 2.
2.1 Content
The Site Operator makes no representations or warranties as to the quality, origin, or ownership of any content found on or available through the Site. The Site Operator shall not be liable for any errors, misrepresentations, or omissions in, of, and about, the content, nor for the availability of the content. Site Operator shall not be liable for any losses, injuries, or damages from the purchase, inability to purchase, display, or use of content.
2.2 Token Lists and Token Identification
In providing information about tokens, the Site associates or presumes the association of a token name, symbol or logo with a specific smart contract deployed to one or more blockchain systems. In making such associations, the Site relies upon third-party resources which may not be accurate or may not conform to a given User’s expectations. Multiple smart contracts can utilize the same token name or token symbol as one another, meaning that the name or symbol of a token does not guarantee that it is the token desired by the User or generally associated with such name or symbol. Users must not rely on the name, symbol or branding of a token on the Site, but instead must examine the specific smart contract associated with the name, symbol or branding and confirm that the token accords with User’s expectation
2.3 User Responsibility for Accounts & Security
Users are solely responsible for all matters relating to their accounts, addresses, and tokens and for ensuring that all uses thereof comply fully with these Terms. Users are solely responsible for protecting the data integrity and confidentiality of their login information and passwords or private keys for the Site or any wallet applications or devices used in connection with the Site. The compatibility of the Site with wallet applications and devices or other third-party applications or devices is not intended as, and you hereby agree not to construe such compatibility as, an endorsement or recommendation thereof or a warranty, guarantee, promise or assurance regarding the fitness or security thereof.
2.4 Fees; Fees Irreversible
Use of the Blever Smart Contract System entails the automatic transfer of a fee at token creation and might entail the allocation of a part of third-party incentives as additional fees. The Site Operator does not have the ability to reverse or refund any amounts paid in error.
2.5 Site Operator Has No Business Plan and May Discontinue, Limit, Terminate or Refuse Support for the Site or any Smart Contracts, Tokens or Pools
The Site is a free web application operated and maintained at the sole and absolute discretion of the Site Operator. The Site Operator assumes no duties, liabilities, obligations, or undertakings to continue operating or maintaining the availability of the Site and may terminate or change the Site in any or all respects at any time. The Site Operator has no business plan or revenue model for the Site. The Site Operator does not have revenues or a viable long-term business plan or capital-raising plan, and may become unable or unwilling to fund the operational costs of the Site on a long-term basis or to fund the upgrade costs required to keep the Site up to date with current technologies.
The Site Operator has no obligation to ensure that the Site is a complete and accurate source of all information relating to the Blever Smart Contract System or any other subject matter. Even if the Site currently displays a particular token, the Site may discontinue tracking and publishing information about that token at any time, in the Site Operator’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event of such a discontinuation, Users may need to rely on third-party resources such as block explorers in order to get equivalent information, and, depending on the User’s level of expertise and the quality of such third-party resources, this may result in the User incurring financial losses due to delays or mistakes in processing information or transactions.
2.6 Site Operator May Deny or Limit Access on a Targeted Basis
The Site Operator reserves the right to terminate or limit any person’s User status or access to or use of the Site at any time, without notice, as determined in the Site Operator’s sole and absolute discretion. Such terminations and limitations may be based on any factor or combination of factors, including a person’s identity, blockchain address, IP address, internet service provider, virtual provider network provider, metadata, browser software, device type, wallet application, wallet device, region of citizenship or residence or current location, or suspicion that User has engaged or intends to engage in any Prohibited Use.
2.7 Site Operator May Cooperate with Investigations and Disclose Information
The Site Operator reserves the right at all times to cooperate with any governmental or law enforcement investigation or to disclose any information it deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post, or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, based on any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, in the Site Operator’s sole and absolute discretion.
2.8 No Regulatory Supervision
The Site Operator and the Site are not registered or qualified with or licensed by, do not report to, and are not under the active supervision of any government agency or financial regulatory authority or organization. No government or regulator has approved or consulted with the Site Operator regarding the accuracy or completeness of any information available on the Site. Similarly, the technology, systems, tokens, and persons relevant to information published on the Site may not be registered with or under the active supervision of or be registered or qualified with or licensed by any government agency or financial regulatory authority or organization. The Site Operator is not registered as a broker, dealer, advisor, transfer agent, or other intermediary.

5. Representations and Warranties of Users
Each User hereby represents and warrants to Site Operator that the following statements and information are accurate and complete at all relevant times. In the event that any such statement or information becomes untrue as to a User, User shall immediately cease accessing and using the Site.
5.1 Adult Status; Capacity; Residence; Etc.
If User is an individual, User is of legal age in the jurisdiction in which User resides (and in any event is older than eighteen years of age) and is of sound mind. If User is a business entity, User is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, and has all requisite power and authority for a business entity of its type to carry on its business as now conducted.
5.2 Power and Authority
User has all requisite capacity, power, and authority to accept the terms and conditions of these Terms and to carry out and perform its obligations under these Terms. These Terms constitute a legal, valid, and binding obligation of User enforceable against User in accordance with its terms.
5.3 No Conflict; Compliance with Law
User agreeing to these Terms and using the Site does not constitute, and would not reasonably be expected to result in (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) a breach, default, contravention, or violation of any law applicable to User, or contract or agreement to which User is a party or by which User is bound. The tokens or other funds User uses to participate in the Blever Smart Contract System are not derived from and do not otherwise represent the proceeds of, any activities done in violation or contravention of any law.
5.4 Absence of Sanctions
User is not (and, if User is an entity, User is not owned or controlled by any other person who is), and is not acting on behalf of any other person who is, (a) located or ordinarily resident in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, any of the the Crimea, Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) or Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) regions of Ukraine, or any other country or any other country or jurisdiction against which the U.S., U.K. E.U. or other nation or international organization maintains economic sanctions; (b) listed by the U.S., U.K. E.U. or other nation or international organization as a prohibited party; or (c) subject to any other national or international sanctions or export controls under any law or by the U.S., U.K. E.U. or other nation or international organization.
5.5 Non-Reliance

6. Risks, Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability
Each User hereby acknowledges and agrees and consents to, and assumes the risks of, the matters described in this Section 6.
6.1 No Consequential, Incidental or Punitive Damages
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained on the Site, in these Terms, or in any other agreement or publication, Site Operator shall not be liable to any person, whether in contract, tort (including pursuant to any cause of action alleging negligence), warranty or otherwise, for any economic or other damages to any User or other person, including any special, incidental, consequential, indirect, punitive or exemplary damages (including but not limited to lost data, lost profits or savings, loss of business or other economic loss) arising out of or related to these Terms, whether or not Site Operator has been advised or knew of the possibility of such damages, and regardless of the nature of the cause of action or theory asserted.
6.2 Disclaimer of Representations
The Site is being provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Site Operator is not making, and hereby disclaims, any and all information, statements, omissions, representations and warranties, express or implied, written or oral, equitable, legal or statutory, in connection with the Site and the other matters contemplated by these Terms, including any representations or warranties of title, non-infringement, merchantability, usage, security, uptime, reliability, suitability or fitness for any particular purpose, workmanship or technical quality of any code or software used in or relating to the Site. User acknowledges and agrees that use of the Site is at the User’s own risk.
6.3 No Responsibility for Tokens; No Guarantee of Uniqueness or IP
Site Operator has no responsibility for the tokens minted or acquired by Users through the Blever Smart Contract System. Site Operator does not investigate and cannot guarantee or warrant the authenticity, uniqueness, marketability, legality, or value of any token traded by Users on the Blever Smart Contract System, even if information about such token is available on the Site.
6.4 No Professional Advice or Liability
All information provided by or on behalf of Site Operator is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional, accounting or legal advice. Users should not take or refrain from taking any action in reliance on any information contained in these Terms or provided by or on behalf of Site Operator. Before Users make any financial, legal, or other decisions involving the Site, Users should seek independent professional advice from persons licensed and qualified in the area for which such advice would be appropriate.
6.5 Limited Survival Period for Claims
Any claim or cause of action a User may have or acquire in connection with the Site or any of the other matters contemplated by these Terms shall survive for the shorter of, and may be brought against Site Operator solely prior to: (a) the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable thereto; and (b) the date that is six months after the date on which the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim or cause of action first arose.
6.6 Third-Party Offerings and Content
References, links, or referrals to or connections with or reliance on third-party resources, products, services, or content, including smart contracts developed or operated by third parties, may be provided to Users in connection with the Site. In addition, third parties may offer promotions related to the Site. Site Operator does not endorse or assume any responsibility for any activities of or resources, products, services, content, or promotions owned, controlled, operated, or sponsored by third parties. If Users access any such resources, products, services, or content or participate in any such promotions, Users do so solely at their own risk. Each User hereby expressly waives and releases Site Operator from all liability arising from User’s use of any such resources, products, services, or content or participation in any such promotions. User further acknowledges and agrees that Site Operator shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such resources, products, services, content, or promotions from third parties.
6.7 Certain Uses and Risks of Blockchain Technilogy
- Use of Blockchain Technology. Site Operator or third parties may utilize experimental cryptographic technologies and blockchain technologies, including tokens, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, “smart contracts,” consensus algorithms, voting systems, and distributed, decentralized, or peer-to-peer networks or systems in connection with the Site or systems about which the Site provides information. Each User acknowledges and agrees that such technologies are novel, experimental, and speculative, and that therefore there is significant uncertainty regarding the operation and effects and risks thereof and the application of existing law thereto.
- Certain Risks of Blockchain Technology. The technologies relevant to the Site depend on public peer-to-peer networks such as Ethereum, that are not under the control or influence of Site Operator and are subject to many risks and uncertainties. Such technologies include the Blever Smart Contract System, which Site Operator has no ability to change, other than ceasing to display information about certain “smart contracts” or adding information about new “smart contracts”. Users are solely responsible for the safekeeping of the private key associated with the blockchain address used in connection with the Blever Smart Contract System. Site Operator will not be able to restore or issue any refund in respect of property lost or frozen due to loss of private keys or otherwise. If a User is not able to spend or use tokens due to loss or theft of the corresponding private key or otherwise, a User will be unable to enjoy the benefits of such tokens.
- Certain Risks of Smart Contract Technology. Digital assets relevant to the Site depend on the Blever Smart Contract System or other smart contracts deployed to the Blockchains, which may be coded or deployed by persons other than Site Operator. In the event that the Blever Smart Contract System or other smart contracts are adversely affected by malfunctions, bugs, defects, malfunctions, hacking, theft, attacks, negligent coding or design choices, or changes to the protocol rules of the Blockchains, Users may be exposed to a risk of total loss and forfeiture of all relevant digital assets. Site Operator assumes no liability or responsibility for any of the foregoing matters.
- Asset Prices. The fiat-denominated prices and value in public markets of cryptocurrencies and tokens have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and may be highly volatile. As relatively new products and technologies, blockchain-based assets are not widely accepted as a means of payment for goods and services. A significant portion of demand for these assets is generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from the short- or long-term holding of blockchain assets. The market value of any token may decline below the price for which a User acquires such asset through the Blever Smart Contract System or on any other platform. User acknowledges and agrees that the costs and speeds of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems are variable and may increase or decrease dramatically at any time, resulting in prolonged inability to access or use any tokens.
- Regulatory Uncertainty. Blockchain technologies and digital assets are subject to many legal and regulatory uncertainties, and the Blever Smart Contract System or any tokens could be adversely impacted by one or more regulatory or legal inquiries, actions, suits, investigations, claims, fines, or judgments, which could impede or limit the ability of User to continue the use and enjoyment of such assets and technologies.
- Cryptography Risks. Cryptography is a progressing field. Advances in code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to the Blockchains, the Blever Smart Contract System, or tokens, including the theft, loss, or inaccessibility thereof.
- Fork Handling. The Blockchain, the Blever Smart Contract System, and all tokens may be subject to “forks.” Forks occur when some or all persons running the software clients for a particular blockchain system adopt a new client or a new version of an existing client that: (i) changes the protocol rules in a backwards-compatible or backwards-incompatible manner that affects which transactions can be added into later blocks, how later blocks are added to the blockchain, or other matters relating to the future operation of the protocol; or (ii) reorganizes or changes past blocks to alter the history of the blockchain. Some forks are “contentious” and thus may result in two or more persistent alternative versions of the protocol or blockchain, either of which may be viewed as or claimed to be the legitimate or genuine continuation of the original. Site Operator may not be able to anticipate, control or influence the occurrence or outcome of forks, and does not assume any risk, liability or obligation in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Site Operator does not assume any responsibility to notify a User of pending, threatened or completed forks. Site Operator will respond (or refrain from responding) to any forks in such manner as Site Operator determines in its sole and absolute discretion, and Site Operator shall not have any duty or obligation or liability to a User if such response (or lack of such response) acts to a User's detriment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Site Operator’s possible and permissible responses to a fork may include: (i) honoring the Blever Smart Contract System and tokens on both chains; (ii) honoring the Blever Smart Contract System and tokens on only one of the chains; (iii) honoring the Blever Smart Contract System and tokens in different respects or to a different extent on both chains; or (iv) any other response or policy or procedure, as determined by Site Operator in its sole and absolute discretion. Each User assumes full responsibility to independently remain apprised of and informed about possible forks, and to manage the User’s own interests and risks in connection therewith.
- Essential Third-Party Software Dependencies. The Blever Smart Contract System and other smart contracts deployed to the Blockchain are software utilities that are accessible directly through any node or indirectly through any compatible “wallet” application that interacts with such a node. Interacting with the Blever Smart Contract System does not require use of the Site, but the Site provides a convenient and user-friendly method of reading and displaying data from the Blever Smart Contract System and generating standard transaction messages compatible with the Blever Smart Contract System. Because Blever does not provide wallet software or nodes, such software constitutes an essential third-party or user dependency without which the Blever Smart Contract System cannot be utilized and tokens cannot be traded or used. Furthermore, the Site may utilize APIs, middleware, and servers of Site Operator or third parties, and Site Operator does not guarantee the continued operation, maintenance, availability, or security of any of the foregoing dependencies.
6.8 Tax Issues
The tax consequences of purchasing, selling, holding, transferring, or locking tokens or otherwise utilizing the Blever Smart Contract System are uncertain, may vary by jurisdiction, and may be adverse to a User. Site Operator has undertaken no due diligence or investigation into such tax consequences, assumes no obligation or liability to optimize the tax consequences to any person, and is not providing any tax advice.
6.9 Officers, Directors, Etc.
All provisions of these Terms which disclaim or limit obligations or liabilities of Site Operator shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to the officers, directors, members, employees, independent contractors, agents, stockholders, debtholders, and affiliates of Site Operator.
6.10 Indemnification
Each User shall defend, indemnify, compensate, reimburse, and hold harmless Site Operator (and each of its officers, directors, members, employees, agents, and affiliates) from any claim, demand, action, damage, loss, cost, or expense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out or relating to (a) User’s use of, or conduct in connection with, the Site; (b) User’s violation of these Terms or any other applicable policy or contract of Site Operator; or (c) User’s violation of any rights of any other person or entity.
7. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Panama.
7.1 Settlement Negotiations
If a User has a potential legal dispute, claim, or cause of action against Site Operator, the User shall first (prior to initiating any litigation proceedings) contact Site Operator by sending an email to legal@blever.xyz describing the nature of the potential dispute, claim or cause of action and providing all relevant documentation and evidence thereof. If so elected by Site Operator, User shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a settlement of any such legal dispute, claim, or cause of action within 60 days of the delivery of such email. Any such dispute, claim, or cause of action that is not finally resolved by a binding, written settlement agreement within such 60 days shall be brought and resolved exclusively in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 7.
7.2 Agreement to Binding, Exclusive Arbitration
Mandatory Binding Arbitration. All claims, disputes, and controversies directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with or directly or indirectly relating to these Terms or any of the matters or transactions contemplated by these Terms (such claims, disputes and controversies, collectively, “Disputes”) shall be resolved by confidential, binding arbitration to be seated in the Republic of Panama and conducted in English language by a single arbitrator pursuant to the UNCITRAL International Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”). The arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the procedures set out in the Rules. The award or decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties and the parties expressly waive any right under the laws of any jurisdiction to appeal or otherwise challenge the award, ruling, or decision of the arbitrator. The judgment of any award or decision may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to the extent necessary. If the Company elects to have a Dispute resolved by arbitration pursuant to this provision, no party hereto shall (or shall permit its representatives to) commence, continue, or pursue any Dispute in any court; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to obtain an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this provision and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Company is entitled at law or in equity, and the parties hereto hereby waive the requirement of any posting of a bond in connection with such injunctive relief or specific performance.
Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereby acknowledge, represent, and warrant that they understand that: (i) there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and, absent this mandatory provision, the parties would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial concerning Disputes; (ii) in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation; (iii) the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court; and (iv) court review of an arbitration award is limited. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any action, suit, or other legal proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Confidentiality of Arbitration. Except to the extent necessary to enforce their respective rights under these Terms or as otherwise required by applicable law, the parties undertake to maintain confidentiality as to the existence and events of the arbitration proceedings and as to all submissions, correspondence, and evidence relating to the arbitration proceedings. This provision shall survive the termination of the arbitral proceedings.
7.3 Court Jurisdiction
To the extent that any court is required to weigh on the enforceability of Section 7.2, to enforce any judgment of the arbitrator, then, without limiting Section 7.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, the User (A) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of Panama for such purpose; (B) agrees not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising in connection with or based upon this instrument or the matters contemplated by this instrument except before the courts of the Republic of Panama, and (C) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this instrument or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court.
7.4 Class Action Waiver
