General Terms and Conditions
for Access and Use of the DyzSocial Platform
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! THIS DOCUMENT REPRESENTS THE LEGAL BINDING
AGREEMENT BETWEEN DYZSOCIAL AND THE USER. WE INVITE YOU TO READ
THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS BEFORE USING THE PROVIDED SERVICES. PLEASE,
ALSO CHECK OUR PRIVACY POLICY, THAT, MUTUALLY WITH THIS LEGAL
DOCUMENT, REPRESENT THE SET OF LEGAL CLAUSES APPLIED TO THE USE OF THE
PLATFORM AND SERVICES.
Disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all representations, warranties
and conditions relating to our App and website and the use of our App and website. Nothing in
this disclaimer will:
- limit or exclude the Service Provider’s liability for misinterpretation of the information
presented on the App and website;
- limit any of the Service Provider’s liabilities in any way that is not permitted under
applicable law;
Crypto Services require and carry, respectively, a high level of knowledge and risk, and can result
in losses. The high level of risk means our Crypto Services are not suitable for everyone. If you
are in any doubt, you should seek independent advice.
By submitting an application to request information or to initiate a commercial relationship with
us, you confirm:
that you have read the Disclaimer and all the documents supplied to you in connection with
our Services and that you fully agree to them;
that you understand and agree that our relationship may be amended from time to time, in
which case you automatically agree to such modifications;
General provisions
The App and website are privately owned and operated DyzSocial LTD, a company registered in
Rwanda. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the Owner of the platform.
The Owner offers the App and website, including all information, tools and services available from
the platform to you, the User, conditioned upon your acceptance of all the provisions stated here.
By visiting our website and/or availing a Service, you engage in the “Service” and agree to be
bound by the following Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”, “Terms”). In case you do
not agree with the clauses of the present document, please stop using the Services.
2
Any new features or tools which are added to the current line of Services shall also be subject to
the Terms and Conditions. You can review the most current version of the document at any time
on this page.
Interface
The platform provides access to a decentralized protocol that creates an ecosystem where the
participants benefit in different ways from sharing content, govern the future of DysSocial, and
interact with the platform and transact using smart contracts (“Smart Contracts”).
Using the platform may require that you pay a fee on the DyzSocial platform to perform a
transaction.
You acknowledge and agree that DyzSocial has no control over any transactions over the platform,
the method of payment of any transactions, or any actual payments of transactions. Accordingly,
you must ensure that you have a sufficient balance of the applicable cryptocurrency tokens stored
at your DyzSocial-compatible wallet address (“Cryptocurrency Wallet”) to complete any
transaction on the platform or the DyzSocial platform before initiating such transaction.
When used on this platform, the terms “debt,“lend,” “borrow,” “collateral”, “credit,” “leverage,”
“bank”, “borrow”, “yield”, “invest” and other similar terms are not meant to be interpreted literally.
Rather, such terms are being used to draw rough, fuzzy-logic analogies between the heavily
automated and mostly deterministic operations of a decentralized-finance smart contract system
and the discretionary performance of traditional-finance transactions by people. When the platform
is used by users to access the platform and transact using Smart Contracts, there are no legal
agreements, promises of payment, or courts of law, and therefore there are no debts, loans, or other
traditional finance transactions involved.
