User Terms & Conditions

Jul 16, 2024

GCR - USER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This GCR - User Terms and Conditions sets out the terms under which GCR provides its services to users (these "Terms"), effective upon the effective date of its publication on the website at https://globalcoinresearch.com/, sets out the terms and conditions of your use of the GCR platform (the "DAO"), an online platform owned and operated by Global Coin Research ("GCR" or "we") as well as access and use of any other services provided through the DAO. The provisions of these Terms will govern your use of the DAO (as defined below) and of the Services (as described below), and you should therefore take time to read these Terms carefully.

The DAO is intended for users who are at least 18 years old, or otherwise of sufficient legal age and capacity in their jurisdiction to contract. By clicking on the "I Accept" button, completing the account registration process or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these terms and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE DAO OR THE SERVICES.

The purpose of the GCR DAO  is to foster a Web3 community. Members also gain access to top-tier community resources, including deep insights and research, founder-focused events (both online and offline), and learning and user feedback sessions—all delivered directly to your inbox. The DAO would provide general market research, weekly newsletter, or detailed research memorandums. Users which are interested in learning more about such Projects may contribute insight, request for information, or initiate discussions with the Project team. The DAO aims to increase the quality of information available in the blockchain industry. While GCR, as an investment and research DAO, may make introductions to fund administrators, custodial service providers, investment advisors, fund managers, or other service providers, GCR is not privy to nor is it a broker, custodian or other party for any payment or funding arrangement which may take place between users and issuers of Projects.

Users are able to take responsibility from the very beginning, by selecting the Projects which they wish to support, and monitoring each individual Project's progress and statistics. GCR, as an investment and research DAO, functions solely as an intermediary for sharing of market research and community networking, and GCR is not a party or decision-maker to a user's further participation in any Project. Users are wholly responsible for their decision to engage with third-party issuers or any particular Project on the DAO.

  1. GENERAL

By signing up to use an account through the DAO ("Account"), you agree to comply with and be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to any of the terms set forth in these Terms, or any subsequent modification to these Terms, you may not access or use any of the Services and must cancel your GCR Account immediately.

  1. RISKS BORNE BY USERS

Acknowledge and agree that the DAO and Services are currently in the initial development stages, and there are a variety of unforeseeable risks with utilizing the DAO, the Services, or the underlying smart contracts. IF YOU DECIDE TO UTILIZE THE DAO OR THE SERVICES, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE, ACCEPT AND ASSUME THE BELOW RISKS AND AGREE NOT TO HOLD GCR OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FOLLOWING RISKS:

7.1

Participation in Projects carries financial risk. You acknowledge and agree that you are aware of such risks, in particular, that transactions relating to digital assets are very risky, and such digital assets are, by their nature, highly experimental, risky, volatile and generally irreversible. You should not make any transactional decision without first conducting your own research. You are solely and exclusively responsible for determining whether any Project or any transaction in connection with the DAO or the Services is appropriate or suitable for you based on your own objectives and personal and financial situation. You acknowledge and agree that you will access and use the DAO and the Services, and interact with Projects at your own risk.

7.2

Digital assets and related investments are highly volatile, and may decline significantly below the original price paid by purchasers, and/or even diminish to zero. Users shall solely be responsible for all losses in connection with participation in Projects, and shall not make any claim against GCR in connection with the same.

7.3

You represent that you have sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice and experience to make your own evaluation of the merits and risks of any participation in Projects and the underlying digital assets. You accept all consequences of participating in such interactions, including the risk that you may lose access to your digital assets indefinitely. All decisions to interact with Projects are made solely by you. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms, GCR accepts no responsibility whatsoever for and will in no circumstances be liable to you in connection with any interaction with Projects or your digital assets. Under no circumstances will the operation of all or any portion of the DAO or the Services be deemed to create a relationship that includes any management of any assets, or the provision or tendering of investment advice.

7.4

No Project will be able to guarantee the future performance of digital assets issued in connection with a Project or any specific level of performance, or your overall results from interacting with Projects. When reviewing the background history, information, and opinions of Project promoters, do not assume that the user is unbiased, independent or qualified to provide financial information or opinions.

7.5

Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the DAO or the Services in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, smurfing and spoofing.

7.6

The DAO and the Services may rely on, integrate or utilize a variety of external third-party services or software, including without limitation account services (including without limitation Google account services), information services, cryptocurrency exchange trading services, decentralized cloud storage services, analytics tools, hence therefore the DAO and the Services may be adversely affected by any number of risks related to these third-party services/software, which may be compromised in the event of security vulnerabilities, cyberattacks, malicious activity, or technical interruptions.

7.7

You accept and confirm that a conflict of interest may arise when the interest of GCR and its affiliates competes or may appear to compete with your interests under these Terms. Specifically, you hereby acknowledge and confirm that: (a) GCR and its affiliates may participate in certain transactions relating to Projects in an individual capacity; and (b) GCR and its affiliates may establish business, including without limitation, advisory or consulting relationships with Projects and various other ecosystem players, financial institutions, digital asset owners, or digital asset exchanges.

You expressly agree not to duplicate, copy, transmit, distribute, license, reverse engineer, modify, publish, reuse or participate in the transfer or sale of, create derivative works from, or in any other way exploit any of the intellectual property of GCR without the express prior written consent of GCR.

8.4

You agree and grant GCR a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable right and license to use, reproduce, communicate, distribute, copy, modify, delete in its entirety, edit, adapt, publish, translate, publicly display, publicly perform, use, create derivative works from and/or sell and/or distribute any source code, designs, creative ideas, suggestions, proposal, plans, data or any other material or content submitted to the DAO, or incorporate such content into any form, medium or technology without compensation or further reference to you.

Accordingly, any information you transmit to the DAO is transmitted at your own risk.
