PUMPZILLA TERMS OF USELast Updated: 16 January 2025

1. Overview & Purpose

1.1 Introduction
Welcome to PumpZilla (“PumpZilla,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We operate a cutting-edge, blockchain-focused platform (the “PumpZilla Platform”) where users can create, mint, purchase, trade, or otherwise engage with blockchain-based digital assets (“Digital Assets”). These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) form the primary legal agreement between PumpZilla and the individuals or entities accessing our services (each, a “User,” “you,” or “your”).

These Terms govern your interactions with the PumpZilla Platform, including any ancillary websites, applications, or services that we or our affiliates may offer. By utilizing our Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood, and consented to be bound by these Terms, including any relevant supplementary policies or guidelines. If you do not agree with any provision herein, you must discontinue all access to, or usage of, the PumpZilla Platform.

1.2 Purpose of These Terms
The primary purpose of these Terms is to establish the rights and responsibilities of both PumpZilla and you concerning your use of the PumpZilla Platform. This document will outline the rules, limitations, disclaimers, and obligations that apply to your activities here.

1.3 Amendments & Updates
PumpZilla may amend or revise these Terms periodically to align with evolving laws, regulations, business practices, or technological advancements. When we make material changes, we will post revised Terms on our platform and update the “Last Updated” date. In certain circumstances, we may provide additional notices (for example, a pop-up or an email). Your continued use of the PumpZilla Platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

1.4 Supplemental Documents
Additional terms, conditions, notices, or agreements (collectively, “Supplementary Documents”) may govern specific features or functionalities within the PumpZilla Platform. To the extent any such Supplementary Document conflicts with these Terms, the Supplementary Document will prevail solely in relation to the conflicting subject matter.

2. Key Definitions

  • Affiliate: Refers to any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with PumpZilla, where “control” signifies ownership of more than 50% of the voting interests or the power to direct management decisions.
  • Digital Assets: Cryptocurrencies, tokens, stablecoins, utility tokens, governance tokens, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), or other forms of digital or tokenized value employing distributed ledger technologies.
  • Force Majeure Event: Any unforeseen event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of either party—such as natural disasters, wars, pandemics, or governmental actions—that prevents or delays performance under these Terms.
  • Instruction: Any request, command, directive, or order submitted by a User via the PumpZilla Platform, including orders to buy, sell, mint, or otherwise transact in Digital Assets.
  • Transaction: Any action involving the creation, buying, selling, transferring, burning, or otherwise dealing in Digital Assets on or through the PumpZilla Platform.
  • User Content: Any text, data, files, images, or other materials that you post, upload, or submit to the PumpZilla Platform for any purpose, including but not limited to forum posts, image uploads for minting, or profile content.
  • Wallet: Any digital or physical tool (including software or hardware) enabling storage and management of Digital Assets, which you may connect or link to the PumpZilla Platform for transactions.

3. User Acceptance & Legal Capacity

3.1 Legal Age & Authorization

You warrant and represent that:

  • Age Requirement: You are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (commonly 18 years old) and capable of forming legally binding agreements.
  • Authority: If you represent a legal entity (e.g., corporation, LLC, partnership, trust), you possess the necessary authorization to bind that entity to these Terms.

3.2 Territorial and Regulatory Restrictions

PumpZilla may restrict or terminate access to certain jurisdictions based on local regulations, sanctions, or other compliance obligations. You confirm that you are not located in—or otherwise subject to—the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction where your usage of the PumpZilla Platform would be deemed illegal or noncompliant with local legislative requirements. We reserve the right to unilaterally discontinue or modify your access to the PumpZilla Platform if we have reason to believe you are using our services in breach of applicable laws.

3.3 Acceptance of Entire Agreement

By creating an account, connecting a Wallet, or initiating any Transaction on the PumpZilla Platform, you agree that you have reviewed these Terms in full, along with all Supplementary Documents, and you undertake to comply with them unconditionally. Failure to abide by these Terms at any point may result in the immediate revocation of your access or privileges on the PumpZilla Platform.

4. Platform Scope & Relationship

4.1 Nature of Services

PumpZilla serves as a decentralized-technology facilitator. While we provide a robust infrastructure for generating and transacting in Digital Assets, we do not function as a conventional broker-dealer, exchange, custodian, or financial institution. Our role is primarily to equip Users with the technological means to interact with various blockchains.

4.2 Independent Status

No fiduciary, agency, or partnership relationship is established between PumpZilla and you solely by virtue of your usage of the PumpZilla Platform. We operate independently, and nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted as forming a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.

4.3 Third-Party Services & Integrations

PumpZilla may incorporate or reference third-party services—such as external marketplaces, analytics services, or wallet providers—to enhance your overall experience. We do not endorse or guarantee any external platform’s safety, reliability, or performance. Your interactions with any linked third-party resources are governed by their respective policies and terms. We disclaim all liability arising from your use of such external services.

4.4 Intellectual Property Overview

PumpZilla retains all rights, titles, and interests in the proprietary elements of our Platform, including (but not limited to) logos, trademarks, code, user interfaces, and software architecture. You acquire no ownership in PumpZilla’s intellectual property by using our Platform. (A more detailed Intellectual Property statement will be provided in subsequent parts.)

4.5 User Content Overview

Users may, from time to time, upload or create content on the PumpZilla Platform, such as metadata for NFT projects, images, descriptions, or commentary. You agree that PumpZilla has a limited right to use, host, reproduce, display, or distribute such content as necessary for the effective operation of the Platform, subject to any specific licensing terms that may apply. (Detailed provisions on User Content will be provided in subsequent parts.)

5. Risk Disclosure

5.1 Volatility & Speculative Nature

Digital Assets are inherently volatile and speculative. Their values can ascend or plunge precipitously over short periods, and external factors—including market sentiment, legislative changes, or technological updates—may cause extreme price movements. By using the PumpZilla Platform, you acknowledge that you understand the speculative nature of Digital Assets and assume the risk of potential financial losses.

5.2 Regulatory Uncertainty

Rules governing digital currencies, blockchain tokens, and tokenized securities vary widely among jurisdictions and may evolve. Regulatory or legislative shifts could prohibit or severely limit your ability to trade certain Digital Assets, or impose new registration, taxation, or reporting requirements on your holdings or transactions. PumpZilla does not offer legal or regulatory advice, and it is your responsibility to remain informed about and comply with local regulations.

5.3 Technology Risks

  • Blockchain Vulnerabilities: The underlying blockchain or smart contracts may contain code flaws, security vulnerabilities, or other glitches that could result in the partial or total loss of value or assets.
  • Transaction Finality: Blockchain transactions, once executed, are typically irreversible. Erroneous transfers or mistakes in wallet addresses can lead to irretrievable losses.
  • Cyber Threats: Unauthorized access, phishing attacks, keylogging malware, and other forms of cyber intrusion pose constant risks in the Digital Asset space. You should maintain robust security measures, such as hardware wallets, two-factor authentication, and reliable antivirus protection.

5.4 No Guaranteed Outcomes

PumpZilla does not endorse any particular Digital Asset nor guarantee any financial outcome or profit. Historical performance, market data, or “popularity” metrics should never be construed as promises of future returns.

5.5 User’s Due Diligence

You must carefully evaluate your own risk tolerance and conduct thorough due diligence on any Digital Asset, project, or token in which you intend to invest, mint, or trade. Engaging qualified professionals (financial advisors, accountants, or lawyers) may be prudent, especially if you lack specialized knowledge of blockchain or crypto markets.

6. User Obligations & Code of Conduct

6.1 Fundamental User Commitments

  • Compliance with Applicable Laws: You must observe all relevant local, state, federal, and international laws, regulations, and ordinances in connection with your use of the PumpZilla Platform. If any law or regulation in your jurisdiction conflicts with these Terms, you must refrain from accessing or using the PumpZilla Platform.
  • Personal Responsibility: You alone are responsible for all activities under your PumpZilla account and any associated Wallet(s). You agree to keep your account credentials confidential.
  • No Reliance on PumpZilla as Advisor: You acknowledge and agree that PumpZilla does not serve as your broker, intermediary, agent, or financial consultant. You are responsible for making independent assessments of any Digital Asset’s suitability based on your own investment criteria and risk profile.

6.2 Code of Conduct

  • Respectful Engagement:
    • Refrain from any communication or content that is hateful, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
    • Avoid spamming, scamming, or engaging in phishing activities toward other users.
  • Fair Trading Practices:
    • Abstain from employing manipulative tactics designed to artificially influence prices or distort trading activities.
    • Ensure that any order or trade instruction you submit aligns with genuine economic intent and does not serve any fraudulent or malicious purpose.
  • Protection of Intellectual Property:
    • If you upload User Content (e.g., images, metadata for NFTs), ensure you have the requisite ownership rights or licenses.
    • Respect the intellectual property rights of PumpZilla and third parties by refraining from unauthorized copying, reproduction, or distribution of protected content.
  • Prohibition on Criminal or Fraudulent Conduct:
    • You must not use the PumpZilla Platform to facilitate money laundering, terrorism financing, or any form of illicit activity.
    • You must not utilize unauthorized software tools, bots, or other automated systems that could compromise the security, stability, or functionality of our Platform.

6.3 Representations & Warranties

  • No Conflicting Obligations: Your entry into these Terms and the performance of your responsibilities hereunder do not breach any other contract, agreement, or obligation to which you are a party.
  • Legitimate Ownership of Digital Assets: Any Digital Assets you transfer, list, or hold via the PumpZilla Platform are lawfully acquired, free of liens or encumbrances, and do not infringe upon any third-party rights.
  • No Prohibited Circumstances: You are not located in any jurisdiction that imposes sanctions, embargoes, or legal prohibitions that would preclude PumpZilla from delivering services to you, nor are you attempting to circumvent any relevant regulatory controls.

7. Transactions, Fees & Calculations

7.1 General Transaction Terms

  • Scope of Transactions: Transactions on the PumpZilla Platform may include creating new Digital Assets (minting), buying, selling, or transferring existing ones, and other functionalities (e.g., burning tokens, conducting auctions) as introduced by PumpZilla from time to time. Each transaction you initiate is subject to these Terms and any additional guidelines we may announce.
  • Digital Asset-Specific Rules: Certain Digital Assets may be governed by additional rules—such as special transfer restrictions, royalties, or smart contract requirements. By engaging with these assets, you agree to be bound by the relevant contract terms that apply to them.
  • Transaction Irreversibility: Blockchain transactions, once confirmed on the relevant network, are typically permanent and cannot be reversed by PumpZilla. It is your duty to verify all details—such as wallet addresses, amounts, and digital asset identifiers—before confirming a transaction.

7.2 Calculations & Fee Schedules

  • Fee Transparency: PumpZilla charges a 1% transaction fee on each on-chain transaction facilitated through the PumpZilla Platform. This fee is separate from any blockchain network (“gas”) fees required by the underlying protocol. Additional charges—such as listing or minting fees—may also apply and will be clearly disclosed on the PumpZilla Platform. We strive to present fees in a transparent manner so you can anticipate all relevant costs before finalizing any transaction.
  • Dynamic Calculations: Certain fees, such as network transaction (gas) fees, may fluctuate based on current blockchain conditions. We will display an estimated gas fee whenever feasible but cannot guarantee that the final cost will exactly match the estimate.
  • Internal Methodology: For any calculations we perform, PumpZilla’s internal records and logs are deemed final and binding, unless there is a documented manifest error that you bring to our attention.

7.3 Adjusting Fees
PumpZilla may revise its fee schedules over time to account for operational changes, regulatory developments, or new service offerings. We will notify you through appropriate channels when these adjustments take effect. Your continued use of the PumpZilla Platform following a fee revision signifies acceptance of the updated rates.

7.4 Finality of Transactions & Records

  • Final and Binding Ledger Entries: Once a transaction has been broadcast on the blockchain and reflected in the PumpZilla Platform’s official transaction records, it is considered final in the absence of a proven technical or clerical error.
  • Record Retention: We may retain transaction data, digital receipts, and other logs for compliance, risk management, and auditing purposes for durations mandated by relevant legal or regulatory requirements.

8. Instructions & Order Execution

8.1 Instruction Accuracy

  • User Responsibility: You are solely responsible for ensuring that all instructions or commands submitted through the PumpZilla Platform are correct and complete. This includes verifying correct wallet addresses, correct blockchain networks, and accurate token identifiers or amounts.
  • No Duty to Verify: PumpZilla is not obligated to investigate the legitimacy, accuracy, or completeness of any instruction. If we have reason to suspect fraud, unauthorized activity, or a clear typographical mistake, we may suspend or defer processing while seeking clarification, but this does not impose an affirmative duty on us to do so.

8.2 Irrevocability of Orders
Except as specified in these Terms or required by law, once you have submitted an instruction (such as an order to purchase or sell a Digital Asset), it becomes irrevocable. This principle reflects the immutable nature of blockchain transactions. If the underlying network confirms your transaction, PumpZilla generally cannot reverse or modify it.

9. Prohibited Uses & Market Integrity

9.1 Prohibited Activities

  • Market Manipulation: Engage in strategies like “pump and dump,” wash trading, spoofing, or placing fictitious orders with the intent to distort legitimate trading activities.
  • Unlawful Actions:
    • Use the PumpZilla Platform in any manner that breaches applicable laws, regulations, or orders from competent authorities.
    • Participate in or facilitate money laundering, terror financing, or trading in assets linked to sanctioned entities.
  • Fraud or Deception:
    • Employ tactics to impersonate other individuals or entities.
    • Disseminate false or misleading information related to Digital Assets on our Platform or external media.
  • Unauthorized Access:
    • Circumvent or attempt to bypass security measures, user authentication systems, rate-limiting mechanisms, or other protective features of the PumpZilla Platform.
    • Deploy automated scripts, crawlers, bots, or scrapers without explicit written permission.

9.2 Respect for Third-Party Rights
You are forbidden from posting or sharing content that infringes upon the intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights of any third party. Content that is discriminatory, harassing, or otherwise incompatible with standard societal norms may be removed at PumpZilla’s discretion.

9.3 Measures to Protect Market Integrity

  • Monitoring & Investigations: PumpZilla reserves the right to monitor user activities for indications of unlawful or prohibited conduct, including analyzing transaction data or external signals. We may also cooperate with law enforcement, regulators, and other stakeholders in investigating any questionable user behaviors.
  • Reporting Violations: If you become aware of activities that violate these Terms, especially those threatening the integrity or security of the PumpZilla Platform, you must promptly notify us. We treat such reports with discretion and will take appropriate remedial actions if warranted.

10. Account Suspension & Termination

10.1 Grounds for Suspension

  • Suspected Unauthorized Access: If we suspect that your account is compromised or accessed by unverified third parties.
  • Ongoing Investigations: If we or external regulators are investigating suspicious, high-risk, or potentially fraudulent activities associated with your account or Wallet.
  • Legal and Compliance Obligations: If mandated by a subpoena, court order, or instruction from law enforcement agencies; or if your continued access would put PumpZilla at risk of legal non-compliance.

10.2 Termination by PumpZilla

  • Persistent Violations: Repeated breach of any provision in these Terms, such as repeated attempts to defraud other users or circumvent security protocols.
  • Prohibited Jurisdiction or Entities: If your presence or activities fall under a restricted region or if you are listed on any sanctioned-person registry.
  • Material Misrepresentation: Provision of substantially false, incomplete, or misleading information during registration or subsequent verification procedures.
  • Discontinued Services: Should we decide to discontinue the PumpZilla Platform or specific features on a permanent basis, we may terminate all user accounts related to the discontinued service.

10.3 Security Incidents or Regulatory Mandates

  • PumpZilla may disable user access or implement transaction holds without prior notice in certain high-risk scenarios (e.g., suspected hacking, data breach, or urgent regulatory intervention).
  • We will make reasonable efforts to notify you following such actions, but the immediate priority is to safeguard the Platform, protect user assets, and ensure regulatory compliance.

10.4 Post-Termination Access & Obligations

  • Asset Retrieval: If your account is terminated or suspended, you may—in PumpZilla’s sole discretion and subject to applicable law—be permitted a limited window to transfer Digital Assets associated with your account to a different Wallet.
  • No Liability for Termination: PumpZilla is not liable for any inconvenience, loss of market opportunity, or damages arising from account suspension or termination, provided such actions align with these Terms or are carried out under lawful instructions.
  • Survival of Terms: Provisions relating to intellectual property, dispute resolution, limitation of liability, and any other clauses intended by their nature to survive termination shall continue in full force and effect.

11. Intellectual Property & Licensing

11.1 PumpZilla Intellectual Property

  • Ownership: PumpZilla, together with its affiliates and licensors, retains exclusive ownership of all intellectual property (“IP”) rights related to the PumpZilla Platform, including but not limited to branding elements, software code, user interface designs, and visual or textual content made available through our services. Under no circumstances do you acquire any ownership interest in PumpZilla’s IP by accessing or using the PumpZilla Platform.
  • Trademarks & Logos: All trademarks, service marks, logos, and trade names displayed on the PumpZilla Platform (“PumpZilla Marks”) are proprietary to PumpZilla or third parties who have authorized their usage. Unauthorized copying, modification, or other misuse of PumpZilla Marks is strictly prohibited.
  • Platform License: Subject to your continued compliance with the Terms, PumpZilla grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to access and use the PumpZilla Platform solely for legitimate, non-commercial blockchain interactions (e.g., minting tokens, trading assets). You may not:
    • Resell or redistribute the PumpZilla Platform, in whole or in part.
    • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of PumpZilla’s proprietary software.
    • Create derivative works based on PumpZilla’s technology or content except with prior written permission.

11.2 User-Generated Content & Licensing

  • Definition of User-Generated Content: “User-Generated Content” (or “UGC”) includes any data, files, text, images, or other materials you upload, submit, or display through the PumpZilla Platform (for instance, images used for minting tokens, descriptions of a newly created asset, or communications in a public forum hosted by PumpZilla).
  • Your Representation & Warranty: By submitting UGC, you represent and warrant that:
    • You have the necessary rights or permissions to share that content without infringing any third-party IP or privacy rights.
    • Your UGC does not violate any law, regulation, or community standards, including those prohibiting defamatory, hateful, or infringing material.
  • Limited License to PumpZilla: For UGC you voluntarily share on or through the PumpZilla Platform, you grant PumpZilla a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, display, reproduce, and distribute such content as necessary to operate, maintain, or improve the PumpZilla Platform. This license ends when you remove or delete your UGC from the PumpZilla Platform, except to the extent that copies of the UGC may persist in routine backups or residual caches.
  • NFT-Specific Content: If your UGC is minted as part of a non-fungible token (NFT) or similar on-chain token, the smart contract terms between you and any buyer or holder may govern the extent of IP rights transferred. PumpZilla does not own, control, or enforce any IP licenses embedded in a smart contract; it merely provides a user interface to that on-chain arrangement.

11.3 Third-Party Content & Integrations

  • PumpZilla may display or reference third-party content, including data from price feeds, analytics, or other tools integrated into our interface. We do not claim ownership over such third-party content, and you agree to adhere to any license restrictions or usage guidelines provided by those third-party providers.

12. Privacy, Data Protection & Record-Keeping

12.1 Personal Information & Privacy Policy

  • Non-Custodial Platform: Because PumpZilla does not require traditional sign-up methods (e.g., email/password), personal data collected is generally minimal. However, certain interactions—such as public communication or direct support inquiries—may involve collecting or processing personal information.
  • Privacy Policy Incorporation: Any personal data processed by PumpZilla in relation to your use of the PumpZilla Platform is subject to our Privacy Notice, which is hereby incorporated by reference. By continuing to use the PumpZilla Platform, you acknowledge and consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Notice.
  • User Responsibility: You are responsible for taking measures to protect any personal information stored locally on your devices or linked to your Wallet. PumpZilla strongly encourages Users to adopt robust security practices, including encryption and the use of hardware wallets, to safeguard sensitive data.

12.2 Data Retention & Record-Keeping

  • Limited Retention: We strive to keep only the minimum necessary data for legitimate business or compliance reasons, such as transaction logs or IP addresses used to detect malicious activities. PumpZilla will not store private keys or seed phrases at any time.
  • Blockchain Transparency: All transactions are inherently public on the relevant blockchain. Even if PumpZilla purges certain logs or data from our own systems, the blockchain retains an indelible record. You acknowledge that PumpZilla has no authority or capacity to modify or delete on-chain data.
  • Compliance & Legal Obligations: Where required by law or enforcement directives, PumpZilla may disclose certain logs or user-related information to legitimate authorities. We comply with subpoena requests, court orders, and equivalent legal processes only where compelled by the applicable jurisdiction.

13. Security Measures & Incident Response

13.1 Non-Custodial Security Responsibilities

  • User’s Wallet Security: Since PumpZilla does not manage or hold custody of your Digital Assets, securing your Wallet and private keys remains entirely your responsibility. You alone bear the risks associated with compromised seed phrases, malicious browser extensions, or phishing schemes.
  • No Transaction Reversals: PumpZilla cannot roll back, freeze, or modify any transaction once it is confirmed on a decentralized blockchain network. You must ensure that your transaction details (addresses, amounts, etc.) are accurate prior to finalizing any blockchain operation.

13.2 Platform-Level Protections

  • Technical Safeguards: PumpZilla employs various technical safeguards (e.g., SSL/TLS encryption, code audits, secure hosting) to maintain a safe user experience. However, we do not guarantee that the PumpZilla Platform will be completely free of vulnerabilities or unauthorized intrusions.

13.3 Incident Handling

  • Reporting Security Concerns: If you suspect any security issue—such as a bug in the PumpZilla interface or a phishing website mimicking PumpZilla—promptly notify us through official support channels. Early detection can help minimize broader user impact.
  • Right to Temporarily Restrict Services: If we identify a potential risk or network exploit affecting the PumpZilla Platform, we may temporarily disable certain functionalities, features, or integrations. This is strictly for damage control and does not grant PumpZilla the power to alter on-chain outcomes.
  • No Liability for External Breaches: PumpZilla will not be held liable for hacks, theft, or losses that occur due to vulnerabilities in external systems—like your personal computer, mobile device, or the underlying blockchain network. Our responsibility is limited to addressing risks within our direct operational control.

14. Liability, Indemnification & Force Majeure

14.1 Liability Limitations

  • No Warranties: The PumpZilla Platform is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any warranties, either express or implied. We disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement to the fullest extent permissible by law.
  • Exclusion of Certain Damages: To the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, PumpZilla and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or special damages, including but not limited to lost profits, opportunity costs, or data loss arising out of or related to your use—or inability to use—the PumpZilla Platform.

14.2 Indemnification

  • User’s Duty to Indemnify: You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PumpZilla and its affiliates from any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:
    • Your breach or violation of these Terms;
    • Your use or misuse of the PumpZilla Platform or any related services;
    • Your infringement of any third-party right, including intellectual property rights; or
    • Transactions or on-chain activities that violate applicable laws or the rights of others.
  • Prompt Notice & Cooperation: PumpZilla will promptly notify you of any indemnifiable claim and may, at its discretion, choose to participate in the defense using counsel of its choosing. You will cooperate fully in any legal proceedings brought against PumpZilla that relate to your obligations hereunder.

14.3 Force Majeure

  • PumpZilla shall not be held responsible or liable for delays, interruptions, or failures in performance resulting from events outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of nature, wars, cyber-attacks that bypass best-industry security measures, telecommunications outages, blockchain network congestions, or changes in laws and regulations (“Force Majeure Events”).
  • Should a Force Majeure Event occur, we reserve the right to halt or limit certain features of the PumpZilla Platform until normal operations can safely resume.

15. Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

15.1 Initial Resolution Attempt

  • Notify the Other Party: Provide written notice of the Dispute that outlines the nature of the claim, relevant facts, and proposed remedies or resolutions.
  • Engage in Good-Faith Discussions: Enter into good-faith negotiations (via email, video calls, or any mutually agreed communication channel) for a period of at least thirty (30) days to attempt an equitable settlement.

15.2 Governing Law

  • These Terms, and any Dispute arising out of or in connection with them, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
  • The rights and obligations of the parties under these Terms shall not be subject to or governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

15.3 Jurisdictional Caveats

  • PumpZilla operates on a global scale. Some jurisdictions may impose unique consumer protections or legal requirements that vary from those in England and Wales.
  • Should any mandatory local law conflict with the provisions in these Terms, that local law will take precedence solely for users who reside within the relevant jurisdiction and only to the minimum extent required by such local law.

16. Arbitration Agreement & Class Action Waiver

16.1 Binding Arbitration

  • Administering Body & Rules: Except where prohibited by law, arbitration shall be administered by the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) or a comparable reputable arbitration provider, following their then-current rules and procedures.
  • Seat & Language:
    • The legal seat of the arbitration shall be London, England (unless the parties agree otherwise in writing).
    • The arbitration shall be conducted in English, with translation services available if deemed necessary by the arbitrator or requested by any party.
  • Arbitrator’s Powers: The arbitrator is empowered to rule on all issues, including questions of arbitrability and the scope of this arbitration clause. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

16.2 Limited Exceptions

  • Injunctive Relief: Either party may seek interim or injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in cases where immediate action is needed (e.g., alleged intellectual property infringement or security threats).
  • Small Claims Court: If permitted by local law and the amounts in controversy meet small claims thresholds, either party may choose to pursue resolution in small claims court instead of arbitration.

16.3 Class Action Waiver

  • No Class Actions: You and PumpZilla each waive any right to participate in class, consolidated, or representative actions. All Disputes must be brought in a personal capacity and not on behalf of other parties or a putative class.
  • Combining Claims Prohibited: Arbitrations and court proceedings must proceed on an individual basis, and neither party may consolidate or combine their Dispute with another person’s or entity’s Dispute without the explicit written consent of all concerned.

17. Additional Legal Provisions

17.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms (together with any Supplementary Policies or documents they reference) constitute the entire agreement between you and PumpZilla regarding the subject matter hereof, superseding any prior oral or written agreements, discussions, or understandings.

17.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or arbitral authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

17.3 No Waiver
No failure, delay, or omission by PumpZilla in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof. Any explicit waiver of rights will only be effective if it is in a signed writing from an authorized PumpZilla representative.

17.4 No Assignment
You may not assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms or any associated rights or obligations without PumpZilla’s prior written consent. PumpZilla may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, provided that your rights remain substantially unaffected.

17.5 Electronic Communications & Notices
All communications between you and PumpZilla may occur electronically (e.g., via email, blockchain-based messaging, or website announcements). You agree that electronic notices carry the same legal effect as physical documents unless explicitly required otherwise by applicable law.

17.6 Language & Translations
These Terms may be translated into languages other than English. Where discrepancies arise between the English version and a translated version, the English version shall govern, except where local law requires otherwise.

17.7 Survival
Provisions regarding intellectual property, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and any other clauses naturally intended to survive will remain in force after the termination or expiration of these Terms, regardless of the reason.

18. Regional & Jurisdiction-Specific Notices

18.1 Users Outside England and Wales
While these Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, local laws in other jurisdictions may impose additional rights or obligations on you. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with any such local requirements. By using the PumpZilla Platform, you represent that your actions do not violate any laws or regulations applicable to your country or region.

18.2 Sanctions & Restricted Jurisdictions
PumpZilla does not knowingly facilitate blockchain activities for individuals or entities subject to economic sanctions or located in jurisdictions where Digital Asset usage is broadly prohibited. If you are uncertain about whether any restrictions apply to you, it is your sole responsibility to consult with relevant legal or regulatory authorities prior to engaging with the PumpZilla Platform.

18.3 European Union & EEA Residents
Users domiciled within the European Union or the European Economic Area should note that PumpZilla’s non-custodial model may not provide certain consumer protections traditionally associated with custodial or regulated financial services. Additionally, disclaimers regarding Data Protection laws are included in our Privacy Notice, consistent with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

18.4 United States Residents
Under U.S. federal and state laws, Digital Asset regulations remain fluid and vary significantly between jurisdictions. If you are a U.S. resident, you are responsible for determining any specific restrictions on minting, trading, or holding Digital Assets in your state. PumpZilla does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice concerning U.S. securities or commodities laws.

19. Consolidated Summary of Key Clauses

  • Platform Nature & Non-Custodial Model: PumpZilla provides a blockchain interface allowing users to create and trade Digital Assets directly on decentralized networks. We do not hold private keys or manage user funds.
  • User Responsibilities & Conduct: You must maintain the security of your Wallet, comply with applicable laws, and refrain from prohibited activities (e.g., market manipulation, infringing IP rights).
  • Transactions, Fees & Disclaimers: All on-chain transactions are final and cannot be reversed by PumpZilla. We provide approximate estimates for network fees (“gas”), but actual costs may vary. We do not warrant or guarantee financial results.
  • IP Rights & Licensing: PumpZilla retains ownership of platform IP. User-Generated Content remains the property of the user, but a license is granted for operational purposes. Blockchain assets minted or traded via the Platform may incorporate third-party IP terms in on-chain contracts.
  • Security & Liability: PumpZilla takes reasonable technical measures to maintain a secure environment, but final accountability for on-chain activities remains with the User. Liability is limited per the disclaimers and indemnification clauses set out in Part 3.
  • Dispute Resolution & Arbitration: Disputes are initially subject to good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, binding arbitration (with a class action waiver) applies, unless local law disallows such provisions.
