Use of the Website, Protocol and Services
1. The decentralised, open source, blockchain-based naming protocol known as the Solana Name Service (the “Protocol”) maintains a registry of domains and subdomains based on the Solana blockchain through a series of smart contracts deployed on the Solana blockchain. Users may, through interacting with the Protocol, search such registry, register domains and subdomains and manage their registered names. The Website is not the exclusive means of accessing the Protocol. You are responsible for conducting your own diligence on interfaces enabling you to access the Protocol to understand the fees and risks that they present.
2. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: By accessing or using the Protocol or Services whether via the Website or otherwise, you hereby forbear to sue the Foundation (including for the avoidance of doubt the Subcontractors), its employees, directors, agents and/or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries for any losses, damages or costs incurred or which may be incurred by you as a result of use of the Website and/or Protocol. You expressly acknowledge that no developer or entity involved in creating and deploying the Protocol will be liable for any claims or damages whatsoever associated with your use, inability to use, or your interaction with other users of, the Protocol, including without limitation any direct, indirect, special, incidental, exemplary or consequential damages, or loss of profits, business or goodwill, digital assets, or anything else of value and hereby release the Foundation, the Subcontractors, each of its/their employees, directors, agents and/or any of its/their affiliates or subsidiaries from responsibility, liability, claims, demands and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to the use of the Website and/or Protocol.

4. You understand that anyone can register and own a domain name (and its subdomains) that is not already registered on the registry maintained by the Protocol. You further understand that names registered on the registry maintained by the Protocol may expire and you are responsible for monitoring and renewing (if applicable) the registration of such names. As mentioned in Section 4.b. above, you acknowledge that the Foundation and its Subcontractors are not able to forcibly remove, prevent or otherwise interfere with the ability of any person to register a domain name on the registry operated by the Protocol and, without prejudice to the generality of Section 4.c. and Section 7 herein, you hereby forbear to sue the Foundation, the Subcontractors, each of its/their employees, directors, agents, representatives and/or any of its/their affiliates or subsidiaries, and acknowledge that the Foundation and the Subcontractors will not be liable for any claims or damages whatsoever associated with your use, inability to use any domain names subject of registration, or to be registered, on the registry maintained by the Protocol.
5. You agree that the Website and/or Protocol is a purely non-custodial application, meaning you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold. These Terms of Use are not intended to, and do not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that we owe no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party, and that to the extent any such duties or liabilities may exist at law or in equity, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and foregone. You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we owe you are those set out expressly in these Terms of Use.
6. Rewards. In your use of the Website, the Protocol, and/or the Services, you may be attributed certain reputation indicators, points, or other intangible rewards (“Rewards”).

Rewards are virtual items with no monetary value. Rewards do not constitute any currency or property of any type and are not redeemable, refundable, or eligible for any fiat or virtual currency or anything else of value. Rewards are not transferable between users, and you may not attempt to sell, trade, or transfer any Rewards, or obtain any manner of credit using any Rewards. Any attempt to sell, trade, or transfer any Rewards or tokens redeemable for or representing any Rewards will be null and void.
7. You acknowledge and accept that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems such as Solana are variable and may increase dramatically at any time.
