The Ciphers.me website is owned and operated by PROxID BV, doing business as Ciphers.me (“Ciphers.me,” “we,” “us” or “our”). These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Ciphers.me website; including without limitation the creation, purchase, sale, exchange, or modification of certain digital assets; our online and/or mobile services, and software provided on or in connection with those services (collectively, the “Service”).

By vistiting ciphers.me and completing the account registration process, and/or using our Service and/or purchasing Crypto Assets, you agree to be bound by these Terms and all the terms incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not access or use the Service or purchase the Crypto Assets.

Ciphers.me reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make changes to these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes, such as indicating the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms. By continuing to access or use the Service, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all the terms incorporated therein by reference.

Because we have a growing number of services, we sometimes need to describe additional terms for specific services. Those additional terms and conditions, which are available with the relevant services, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those services.

Service
The Service allows you to claim, collect and mint Crypto Assets (as defined below). Before minting your unique digital asset, we ask you to download a supported electronic wallet extension and connect and unlock your digital wallets with that extension.

“Crypto Assets” refers to unique non-fungible tokens (NFT), implemented on the Polygon blockchain, Ethereum blockchain, the Concordium blockchain and other blockchain(s) as the case may be (the “Blockchain Platform”) using smart contracts.

All transactions initiated through our service are facilitated and run by third-party electronic wallet extensions, and by using our services you agree that you are governed by the terms of service and privacy policy for the applicable extensions.

Ciphers.me is a platform. We are not a broker, financial institution, or creditor. The services are an administrative platform only. Ciphers.me facilitates the collection of NFT’s and facilitates transactions between the buyer and seller in the auction, but is not a party to any agreement between the buyer and seller of crypto assets or between any users.
