Welcome

2. Changes to Terms or Services. We may update the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll deliver a notice either by posting the updated Terms on the App or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated Terms, then you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion. Continued access and use of the Services following notice of any such modifications indicates You acknowledge and agree to be bound by the modifications.

3. Eligibility. You may use the Services only if you are at least 13 years of age (or such other minimum age at which you can provide consent to data processing under the laws of your territory), and not otherwise barred from using and accessing the Services under applicable law. If you are not yet 18 years old, you must have the permission of an adult to access and use the Services and agree to these Terms, and that adult must be a parent or legal guardian who is willing to be responsible for your use of the Services.

In addition, you represent to us that you and your financial institutions, or any party that owns or controls you or your financial institutions, are (1) not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties, including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. Government (e.g., the Specially Designated Nationals List and Foreign Sanctions Evaders List of the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Entity List of the U.S. Department of Commerce), the European Union or its Member States, or other applicable government authority and (2) not located in any country to which the United States has embargoed goods or has otherwise applied any sanctions.

4. Creating an Account.

• (a) General. In order to use or access certain parts of the Services, you must successfully register an account with us (“Account”). It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete and current account information and keep this information up to date. If you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your Account. To protect your Account, keep the Account details and password confidential, and notify us right away of any unauthorized use. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. Your Account is separate from any account you may have, for example, with a compatible and eligible third-party cryptocurrency service through which you maintain a separate cryptocurrency wallet (each a “Third-Party Wallet”). Such Third-Party Wallets must be compatible with the Ethereum public blockchain. If you’re using your Account to create an API key for query fee payments, you must ensure that you add GRT to the billing smart contract. Otherwise, your API key will not support queries.

• (b) Third-Party Services. You may register for the Services using third-party services (e.g., GitHub). If you choose the third party account option, for example via your GitHub account, we’ll create your Account by extracting from your GitHub account certain personal information such as your name and email address and other personal information that your GitHub account privacy settings permit us to access. Please remember that the manner in which third party services use, store and disclose your information is governed solely by the policies of such third parties, and The Graph shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any third party site or service that may be enabled within the Services.

• (c) Keep Your Information Accurate and Current. It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete, and up-to-date information for your Account. You also agree to update such information to keep it that way. If you don’t, we may suspend or terminate your Account. You agree that you will not disclose your Account password to anyone, and to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account.
  
  You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account and in connection with your Third-Party Wallet and wallet, whether or not you know about them. If you believe that your Account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at our Support Email Address. It is also your sole responsibility to keep your login details to your wallets secure and ensure that they are not disclosed to anyone. In the event any third-party gains access to your login details in any way, we will not be responsible for any misuse of your wallet or the related funds.

• (d) No Account Sharing. You may not sell, rent, lease, share or provide access to your Account to anyone else. We reserve all available legal rights and remedies to prevent unauthorized use of our Services, including, but not limited to, technological barriers, IP mapping, and, in serious cases, directly contacting your Internet Service Provider regarding such unauthorized use.

• (e) No False Accounts. You may not create an Account for anyone else or create an Account in a name other than your own.

5. Services and Integrating an Electronic Wallet. You will not be able to engage in certain parts of the Services other than through MetaMask or another Ethereum-compatible wallet provider. The Services will only recognize you as a user, and you will only be able to fully engage with the Services, if your Third-Party Wallet is connected and unlocked, or otherwise linked to the Services.

• GENERAL. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE SECURITY OF YOUR ACCOUNT, ANY ASSOCIATED CREDENTIALS INCLUDING YOUR THIRD-PARTY WALLET ACCOUNT. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF ANY GRT ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT.

  
  

  You are responsible for implementing all appropriate measures for securing your Account, including any credentials or and any other data that can be used to access the electronic wallet or Account.

  
  

  You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for evaluating and adopting security procedures to secure and recover your Account and any GRT associated therewith. As such, you agree that we shall not be liable for any failure of any security procedures or any other acts or omissions which may result in your loss of access to your Account or associated GRT.

  
  

  The Graph does not receive or store your electronic wallet or Account credentials (collectively, your “Credentials”). Therefore, we cannot assist you with the retrieval of such Credentials if you lose them. You are solely responsible for remembering your Credentials. If you have not safely stored a backup of any Credentials, you accept and acknowledge that any GRT you have associated with your Account will become inaccessible if you do not remember your Credentials.

Gateway Addendum

The Graph Foundation (“The Graph,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) welcomes you to The Graph Gateway (the “Gateway”). The Gateway is a part of Subgraph Studio that facilitates paid queries between Developers and Indexers (as defined below) in a secure automated process. The Gateway is subject to the following terms of use (the “Gateway Terms”). These Gateway Terms are hereby incorporated into and made a part of The Graph Terms of Service, The Graph Privacy Policy and any other agreements you have entered into with The Graph including any order forms (collectively, the “Graph Terms”) upon your agreement and use of the Gateway.

In the event of a conflict between the Graph Terms and any provision in these Gateway Terms, the Gateway Terms will prevail.

All capitalized terms shall have the meaning set forth in the Graph Terms, unless otherwise defined in these Gateway Terms. If the individual consenting to these Gateway Payment Terms is doing so on behalf of an entity and registers such entity for the Gateway, then you (the individual) represent and warrant that you have authority to bind such entity and enter into these Gateway Terms on its behalf, and all further references to “you” shall be to such entity.

We are constantly trying to improve our services, so these Gateway Terms may need to change along with our services. We may amend or modify these Gateway Terms at any time by posting the revised terms on our website and/or providing a copy to you. The revised Gateway Terms will be effective as of the time they are posted but will not apply retroactively unless otherwise stated. Your continued use of the Gateway after the posting of the revised Gateway Terms constitutes your acceptance of such revised Gateway Terms. If you do not agree with any such modification, your sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate your use of the Gateway and to close your Subgraph Studio account.

1. AGREEMENT TO TERMS.

By using Gateway, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, you may not use the Gateway. By using the Gateway, or any of our other products or services that link to these Graph Terms, you agree to the Graph Terms.

2. SERVICES

(a) General. The Gateway facilitates an efficient exchange of paid queries for API end points. You may use the Gateway as either a Developer or Indexer. For both Developers and Indexers, any Transaction (as defined below) is subject to these Gateway Terms and any associated Documentation related to your use of the Gateway and compliance with the technical specifications of the Graph Network.

(b) Developer. As a Developer, the Gateway will identify Indexers based on the performance parameters you request from Indexers including the fees associated with any queries (“Paid Queries”). You will send such Paid Queries through the Gateway. The Gateway automatically aggregates Paid Queries and routes access to API end-points to Developers upon a completed transaction where your Paid Queries are received and processed by the Indexer (“Transaction”).

(c) Indexer. As an Indexer, the Gateway will receive your performance parameters including any fees associated with the Indexer services you are rendering to Developers. When a Developer provides a Paid Query through the Gateway, the Gateway automatically routes it to the appropriate Indexer. The Paid Query is released upon a successful Transaction.

3. ACCESS AND USE.

(a) Access to the Gateway. The Graph hereby grants you and your Authorized Users a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license, without the right to grant sublicenses, to access and use the Gateway (and any general release user documentation provided on or through by The Graph at or at such other URL as The Graph may use and as may be amended from time-to-time (“Documentation”)) solely for your own internal business purposes, subject to these Gateway Terms. "Authorized User" means any natural person that you authorize to use the Gateway and signs up for a Subgraph Studio account to use the services in accordance with the Graph’s then-current Subgraph Studio account registration process.

(b) Termination or Modifications to these Gateway Terms. We reserve the right to modify the Gateway from time to time by adding, deleting, or modifying features to improve the user experience or for other business purposes. We further reserve the right to discontinue any feature of the Gateway or portion thereof at any time at our sole and reasonable discretion, including, without limitation, discontinuing support for any Transaction type. You acknowledge and accept the risks of operating changes to digital asset protocols and agree that we are not responsible for such operating changes and not liable for any loss of value or missed rewards you may experience as a result of such changes in operating rules. You acknowledge and accept that we have sole discretion to determine the response to any operating change and that we have no responsibility to assist you with unsupported assets or protocols. We will try to give you notice when we make a material change that would adversely affect you, but this may not be practical. We reserve the right to remove any content from the services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that content in violation of these Gateway Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.

(c) Term and Termination. We may suspend or terminate your access to and use of the Gateway, including suspending access to or terminating your Subgraph Studio account, at our sole discretion, at any time and without notice to you.

(d) Service Levels and Support. The Graph, or our contractors, shall host the Gateway, periodically monitor the Gateway to optimize performance thereof, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any downtime, other than for scheduled maintenance or downtime caused by reasons beyond our reasonable control.

(e) Restrictions on Use. You will not (and will not authorize, permit, or encourage any third party to): (i) allow anyone other than Authorized Users to access and use the Gateway; (ii) allow an Authorized User to share with any third party his or her access credentials; (iii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discern the source code or interface protocols of the Gateway; (iv) modify, adapt, or translate the Gateway; (v) make any copies of the Gateway; (vi) resell, distribute, or sublicense the Gateway or use the Gateway for the benefit of anyone other than you or your Authorized Users; (vii) remove or modify any proprietary markings or restrictive legends placed on the Gateway; (viii) use the Gateway in violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or in order to build a competitive product or service, or for any purpose not specifically permitted in these Gateway Terms; (ix) access or use the Gateway to collect any market research for a competing business; (x) use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access the Gateway for any purpose without our express written permission, or (xi) introduce, post, or upload to the Gateway any Harmful Code. We have the right to monitor your compliance with this Section 2 and your use of the Gateway and Nodes generally.

(f) Third Parties. The Gateway comprises a technology platform that allows Developers to choose Indexers and make paid queries. As such, The Graph may use or connect you with third party providers (collectively, “Third Party Providers”) to provide services as part of the Gateway. You acknowledge that services provided by Third Party Providers are provided by third-parties who are not employed by The Graph. You acknowledge that The Graph does not supervise, direct, or control the performance of services provided by Third Party Providers to you or for your benefit.

4. ELIGIBILITY.

(a) The services are only intended for adults eighteen (18) years of age and older. You are not allowed to use the Gateway if you are under eighteen (18) years of age or if you are not capable of forming a binding contract with The Graph. The services are limited to users who meet the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing customer due diligence requirements outlined below, and not otherwise barred from using the Gateway under applicable law.

5. TRANSACTIONS.

(a) Transactions. In order to be completed, all proposed Transactions must be confirmed and recorded in a public ledger associated with The Graph Network. The Graph Network, and any other public ledger used by the Gateway to confirm and record Transactions, is a decentralized, peer-to-peer network supported by independent third-parties, which is not owned, controlled or operated by The Graph or any third party. Neither The Graph nor any third party has any control over The Graph Network and therefore cannot and does not ensure that any Transaction details you submit via the Gateway will be confirmed. You acknowledge and agree that Transactions may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the Gateway and neither The Graph nor any third party has any liability to you in this regard.

(b) No Storage or Transmission of GRT Token. A GRT Token is an intangible digital asset. GRT Tokens exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on The Graph Network. Any transfer of title that might occur in any GRT Token occurs on the decentralized ledger within The Graph Network and not within the Gateway. We do not guarantee that the Gateway can affect the transfer of title or right in any GRT Token.

(c) Accuracy of Information. You represent and warrant that any information you provide via the Gateway is accurate and complete. You accept and acknowledge that The Graph is not responsible for any errors or omissions that you make in connection with any GRT Token transaction initiated via the Gateway, for instance, if you mistype an Account address or otherwise provide incorrect information. You agree to review your transaction details carefully before completing them via the Gateway.

(d) No Cancellations or Modifications. Once transaction details have been submitted to the Graph Network via the Gateway, the Gateway cannot assist you to cancel or otherwise modify your transaction details. The Graph has no control over any Graph Network and does not have the ability to facilitate any cancellation or modification requests.

(e) Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the transactions you for which you have submitted transaction details via the Gateway, and it is your responsibility to report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. You agree that The Graph is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your GRT Token transactions or for collecting, reporting, withholding or remitting any taxes arising from any GRT Token transactions.

6. CERTAIN FEES.

(a) Validation Fees. The Graph Network is a network of computers operated by individuals or entities who voluntarily participate in the process of validating transactions on the network. You agree to pay any validation fees that apply with respect to a transfer of your GRT Token.

7. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND COUNTER-TERRORIST FINANCING.

We are committed to providing secure and compliant, and reputable services through the Gateway. Accordingly, we insist on a comprehensive and thorough customer due diligence process and implementation and ongoing analysis and reporting. This includes monitoring of and for suspicious activity.

We reserve the right to refuse registration to, or to bar transactions from or to, anyone for any reason, including without limitation, anyone from or in any jurisdictions that do not meet applicable Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing (“AML–CTF”) standards; to anyone that is a Politically Exposed Person under applicable laws; or, that fails to meet any of our customer due diligence standards, requests, or requirements. At all times, you may be subject to enhanced customer due diligence procedures in your use of the Gateway and any related service. We will validate and verify your identity based on the information provided. As part of our Know Your Customer (“KYC”) policy and ongoing monitoring of account activity, we may request additional information and documentation from you from time to time and at any time. If we are unable to contact you and verify your identity, we may need to close your account.

We will cooperate with applicable law enforcement and regulatory authorities where it is required to do so and will share information if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Gateway is being used for illegal purposes.
