Airdrop Terms and Conditions

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the zkLink airdrop!

By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the zkLink Nova Airdrops website or participating in any other aspect of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms of Use, you may not use the zkLink Nova Airdrops website or participate in the Services. These Terms of Use apply to your access to, and use of the zkLink Nova Drop website, and all technologies, features products, offerings and services thereon (collectively, the "Services") provided or made available to you by the zkLink Core DAO (“zkLink Core DAO”, the Organization, “we”, “us” or “our”)

If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity or other organization, you are agreeing to these Terms of Use for that entity or organization and representing to zkLink Core DAO that you have the authority to bind that entity or organization to these Terms of Use (and, in which case, the terms “you” and “your” will refer to that entity or organization). If you do not accept the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, you will not access or otherwise use the zkLink Nova Airdrops website or the Services.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify any portion of these Terms of Use at any time. If we do this, we will publicly post the updated Terms of Use on the zkLink Nova Airdrops website and will indicate at the top of this page the date these Terms of Use were last revised. You may read a current, effective copy of these Terms of Use by visiting the “Terms of Use” link on the Website.

Your continued use of the Services from and after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms of Use, you will not access, browse, or use (or continue to access, browse, or use) the zkLink Nova Airdrops website or the Services. Without limiting anything set forth elsewhere in these Terms of Use, you agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party as a result of any losses suffered by any modification or amendment of this Agreement.

1. You represent and warrant that all information provided during the Airdrop process is true, accurate, and complete.

2. You agree and acknowledge that (a) solely you are responsible and liable for all taxes due in connection with your participation in the Airdrop; and (b) you should consult a tax advisor with respect to the tax treatment of Airdrop ZKL in your jurisdiction.

3. You agree and acknowledge that you are responsible for complying with all applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside or in which you are participating in the Airdrop and claiming Airdrop ZKL.

4. You agree that you are not (i) a Prohibited Person (as defined in the General Terms); (ii) directly or indirectly acting on behalf of a Prohibited Person; and (iii) located in or accessing the Services from a Prohibited Jurisdiction (as defined below). You agree that you will not use a virtual private network (“VPN”) or similar tool to circumvent any geo-blocking and/or other restrictions that we have implemented in connection with the Airdrop. Any such deliberate circumvention, or attempted circumvention, of our controls may permanently disqualify you from participation in the Airdrop, as determined in our discretion.

5. You agree and acknowledge that your participation in the Airdrop does not violate any applicable laws, including without limitation applicable economic and trade sanctions and export control laws and regulations, such as those administered and enforced by the EU, OFSI, OFAC, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the UN Security Council, and other relevant authorities.

6. You agree and acknowledge that the Organization reserves the right to require additional information from you and to enter, use, or share such information into or with a Screening Service Provider (as defined below), and its systems, tools, or functionalities, as the Organization deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including to reduce the risks of money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions violations, or other potentially illicit activity, or as otherwise necessary to address laws and regulations that may be relevant to the Airdrop or the Tokens. You agree to provide complete and accurate information in response to any such requests. You agree and acknowledge that the Organization is not responsible and cannot be held liable for any losses, expenses, or delays resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information, and you agree to assume full responsibility for any and all risks associated therewith.

7. You agree and acknowledge that your participation in the Airdrop and claim of Airdrop ZKL does not require or involve any form of purchase, payment, or tangible consideration from or to us, nor otherwise require or involve any acceptance of value by us from you. You agree and acknowledge that you (a) lawfully may receive Tokens for free via the Airdrop (other than gas fees or applicable taxes, if any, that may be due to third parties), (b) were not promised the Tokens or any tokens (whether via the Airdrop or otherwise); and (c) took no action in anticipation of, or in reliance on, receiving the Tokens or any tokens, the occurrence of an Airdrop, or potential participation in any Airdrop.

8. Your eligibility to receive Airdrop tokens or participate in the Airdrop is subject to our sole discretion. The Airdrop shall be conducted during a specified period, as determined by the zkLink Core DAO in its sole discretion. Participants must follow the instructions set forth in any Airdrop announcement and/or such other instructions as may be provided by the Organization from time to time to participate in the Airdrop. The number of Tokens allocated to each Participant will be determined by the Organization, in its sole discretion, and such allocation may vary among Participants. Tokens may be made available for claims after an initial period in which Participants can check eligibility for, but not claim, Airdrop ZKL.

9. You agree and acknowledge that you are not entitled to receive any Airdrop ZKL and/or to participate in the Airdrop based on any documentation, commentary, calculators, metrics, and/or points systems published or otherwise made known by third parties monitoring activities on the zkLink Nova (or any of its smart contracts) or providing third-party applications or services relating thereto (“Third-Party Publications and Services”). You have no claim to ZKL based on such Third-Party Publications and Services. The Organization does not review, control, monitor, or confirm the accuracy of information that may be provided through Third-Party Publications or Services. You agree and acknowledge that you have not engaged, and will not engage, in any activities designed to obtain Airdrop ZKL, including on the basis of, or in reliance on, Third-Party Publications and Services.

10. You agree that you are the legal owner of the Airdrop Address (as defined below) that you use to access or participate in the Airdrop and the Services and will not sell, assign, or transfer control of such address or the Tokens to third parties to circumvent any ZKL lock-up period or to knowingly redistribute Tokens to a person, IP Address (as defined below), or Airdrop Address (as defined below) that would violate these Airdrop Terms if claimed directly by such person, IP Address, or Airdrop Address.

11. To participate in the Airdrop, you will need to enter an eligible Airdrop Address (as defined below) and/or connect a compatible third-party digital wallet (either, a “Wallet”). Failure to provide and connect an eligible Wallet may result in the forfeiture of Tokens. There may be technical limitations, delays, and/or transaction fees due or payable to third parties, such as gas fees on Ethereum transactions, to receive and/or claim Tokens through your Wallet.

12. By using a Wallet, you agree that you are using the Wallet in accordance with any terms and conditions of an applicable third-party provider of such Wallet. Wallets are not maintained or supported by, or associated or affiliated with, the Organization. When you interact with the Airdrop or other Services, as between the Organization and you, you retain control over your digital assets at all times. We do not control digital assets, including the ZKL, in your Wallet, and we accept no responsibility or liability to you in connection with your use of a Wallet. We make no representations or warranties regarding how the Airdrop or other Services will operate with, or be compatible with, any specific Wallet. The private keys necessary to access and/or transfer the digital assets held in a Wallet are not known or held by the Organization. Any third party that may gain access to Participant’s login credential, private key, or third-party cloud or storage mechanism for such information may be able to misappropriate ZKL and/or other digital assets held by Participant. The Organization has no ability to help you access or recover your private key and/or seed phrase for your Wallet. As between you and the Organization, solely you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your private key, and solely you are responsible for any transaction signed with your private key. The Organization is not responsible for any loss associated with the Participant’s private key, digital wallet, vault, or other storage mechanism.

13. You agree and acknowledge that if you are unable to claim the Airdrop due to technical bugs, smart contract issues, gas fees, wallet incompatibilities, loss of access to a wallet or the key thereto, or for any other reason, you will have no recourse or claim against the Organization or any Organization Person. In any such cases, neither the Organization nor any Organization Person will bear any liability.

14. You agree and acknowledge that claiming the Airdrop may require interaction with, reliance on, or an integration with third-party products or services (e.g., a wallet or a network or blockchain) that we do not control. In the event that you are unable to access such products, services, or integrations, or if they fail for any reason, and you are unable to participate in the Airdrop or claim Airdrop ZKL as a result, you will have no recourse or claim against us or any Organization Person; and neither we nor any Organization Person bear(s) any responsibility or liability to you.

15. You agree and acknowledge that your participation in the Airdrop is at your own risk. You agree and acknowledge that you have carefully reviewed, read, and understood the Risk Factors below.

16. Without limiting any terms in the General Terms, including but not limited to Section 6.4 therein, you agree that you shall defend, indemnify, and hold the Organization Persons harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings, investigations, demands, suits, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs, and fines or penalties imposed by any regulatory authority) incurred by the Organization Persons arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of, or conduct in connection with, the Airdrop; (b) your breach or our enforcement of these Airdrop Terms, or (c) your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or rights of any third party. If you are obligated to indemnify any Organization Person hereunder, then you agree that the Organization (or, at its discretion, the applicable Organization Persons) will have the right, in its sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether the Organization wishes to settle, and if so, on what terms, and you agree to fully cooperate with the Organization in the defense or settlement of such claim. Your obligations under this indemnification provision will continue even after these Airdrop Terms have expired or been terminated.

You acknowledge and accept that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, such as Ethereum, are variable and may increase or decrease dramatically at any time. You acknowledge and accept the risk that your digital assets may have no value or lose some or all of their value during the Airdrop Period, any ZKL lock-up period, or after. You understand that anyone can create a token, including fake versions of existing tokens and tokens that falsely claim to represent certain projects, entities, or people, and you acknowledge and accept the risk that you or others may mistakenly seek to claim or trade those or other tokens. You acknowledge that the Organization is not responsible for any of these variables or risks and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses that you experience, including losses while accessing or using the Airdrop or the Services. Accordingly, you understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using the Airdrop and the Services.

You expressly understand and agree that the Organization will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary damages, or damages for loss of profits, including damages for loss of goodwill, use, or data or other intangible losses (even if the Organization has been advised of the possibility of such damages), whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, resulting from: (a) the use or the inability to use the Airdrop or the Services; (b) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information, or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from the Airdrop or the Services; (c) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (d) statements or conduct of any third party on the Services; (e) interruption or cessation of function related to our interface or website; (f) bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through the interface or website; (g) errors or omissions in, or loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of, any content made available through the interface or website; or (h) any other matter relating to the Airdrop or the Services.
