These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the SCALES website at scales.baby, the Nest service at nest.scales.baby, and the Protect drain-protection service at protect.scales.baby (together, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
1. The Services
- scales.baby is the main SCALES website and community hub.
- Nest is an end-to-end encrypted service for storing your content. Because it is end-to-end encrypted, we cannot read your content and cannot recover it if you lose your keys or recovery material.
- Protect is a discretionary community drain-protection program, described in Section 4.
The Services are provided on an evolving basis. We may add, change, suspend, or remove features at any time.
2. Your account and responsibilities
- You are responsible for your account, your wallet, your keys, and your seed phrase. Never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone, including us. We will never ask for them.
- You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current, especially for Protect applications and claims.
- You agree not to misuse the Services, including attempting to break security, defraud the program, submit false claims, or use the Services for unlawful purposes.
- You are responsible for complying with the laws and tax rules that apply to you, including those covering digital assets.
3. Digital assets and risk
Digital assets are volatile and risky. Nothing in the Services is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. You are solely responsible for your own decisions, including any decision to acquire, hold, trade, or transfer tokens. We do not custody your assets.
4. Protect is not insurance
SCALES Protect is a discretionary, community-treasury reimbursement program. It is important that you understand what it is and is not:
- It is not insurance. We do not sell a policy, we do not collect a premium, and we do not promise to pay any particular claim.
- There is no guarantee. Being approved for protection is not a promise of payment. Every claim is assessed on its own facts.
- Sole discretion. We may approve, partially approve (cap lower than requested), or decline any application or any claim at our sole judgment. We may change, pause, or end the program, and may revoke or reduce protection at a review, at any time.
- Limited scope. Only specific covered events are eligible, subject to the program rules published on protect.scales.baby, which form part of these Terms for users of Protect. Reimbursement, where granted, is made from a community reserve at our discretion.
Use of Protect does not create an insurance relationship, a guarantee, or any entitlement to payment.
5. No warranty
The Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
6. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SCALES and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of assets, profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Services. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Services is limited to the amount you paid us for the Services in the twelve months before the claim, which for free Services is zero.
7. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
8. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction to be confirmed], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. This placeholder will be completed following legal review.
