Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be legally permitted to use the service in your jurisdiction. If you are under the age required by your local law to enter binding agreements, do not use the service without proper authorization.

2. Service Description

A Network may provide features across multiple layers:

• Web2 off-chain application features, session-mining systems, ANTS-first accounting, and account-security controls.
• Web3 on-chain views, wallet interactions, migration wallet references, and blockchain-related token information.
• Phase 5 decentralized mining proofs, enabling miners to generate time-based SHA256 proofs locally and submit them directly to Layer 1 blockchain validators for independent verification.
• Web4 coordination features designed to connect the Web2 and Web3 sides of the ecosystem through migration, habitat logic, and future node-based infrastructure.

Some functions may be experimental, limited, region-specific, or subject to future updates.

2A. Protocol Execution Policy

A Network enforces production protocol rules across web and app surfaces.

• Public market access may be available through standard BSC DEX routes using compatible EVM wallets.
• In-app settlement actions (including swap, transfer, and cashout) remain policy-gated and require authenticated wallet execution checks.
• First NFT profile activation is conditioned on at least one successful authenticated settlement event after eligibility conditions are met.
• Duplicate settlement for the same request identifier may be rejected by idempotency controls.
• Production execution policy is signed-flow oriented. Users must not submit seed phrase or private key material through public web requests.

3. Permissions and Device Access

The current release is built to work without broad contacts access or location access.

• Core app features in the current release do not require contacts permissions, precise location, background location, or geofencing.
• If future features introduce contact sharing or location-dependent functions, we may use minimum-scope platform alternatives and permissions only where needed for a core, user-initiated function.
• You should not expect the app to request sensitive device access unless that access is clearly tied to an implemented feature and explained in context.

4. No Financial Advice

A Network does not provide investment advice, brokerage services, banking services, or guaranteed financial returns. Any token-related or ecosystem-related feature is provided on an as-is basis and may involve risk.

5. Mining and Reward Mechanics

Mining rewards are governed by backend network rules and may change as the ecosystem evolves. The current model uses fixed-duration 6-hour sessions, ANTS-first accounting, delayed ANET eligibility, and network-session halving milestones to determine reward progression.

Phase 5 introduces decentralized proof submission. Miners may choose between server-approved mining (traditional path) or decentralized proofs (self-signed, validator-verified). Both paths are fully supported and backward compatible.

Referral behavior is limited and may include a one-time activation credit when a referred user completes a first valid session, but it does not create recurring commissions, multi-level earnings, or guaranteed rewards.

Rewards are not guaranteed earnings, may be reduced near max-supply limits, and may be suspended, paused, or modified for security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, or system integrity.

5A. Decentralized Proof Submission Policy

Phase 5 mining proofs are self-signed by the miner and submitted to the Layer 1 blockchain for independent validator verification.

• Proof generation is performed entirely on the user's device using secp256k1 private key signing. The proof and signature prove wallet ownership without requiring central server approval.
• Accepted proofs are included in Layer 1 blockchain blocks. This means proof data (miner address, proof hash, difficulty level, and submission timestamp) becomes permanently recorded on the public blockchain.
• Proofs cannot be deleted, modified, or made private once submitted and included in a block. Miners should understand that their proof submissions will be permanently visible on the distributed ledger.
• Proof nonce values are validated to prevent replay attacks. A single nonce cannot be used twice by the same miner, even across different validators or chain nodes.
• Miners may submit proofs to any validator node running the A Network protocol. Accepted proofs are automatically included in the next block without requiring permission from a central authority.
• The total supply cap (21,000,000 ANET) is not affected by Phase 5. Decentralized proofs only change WHO verifies proofs; they do not change the issuance schedule or supply limits.

6. User Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
• Maintaining access to your verified email and completing OTP verification steps when required.
• Maintaining any wallet PIN, seed phrase, migration wallet details, and recovery information under your control.
• Using the service lawfully and honestly.
• Securing any wallet, seed phrase, or external account used with Web3 features or Phase 5 proof submission.
• Understanding that submitted proofs become permanently recorded on the public blockchain and cannot be deleted, modified, or made private.
• Reviewing the project, risks, and mechanics before participating, including decentralized proof mechanics in Phase 5.

7. Account Recovery, Deletion, and Wallet Access

The current service may include one-time account-restore flows for scheduled deletions, wallet PIN management, seed-phrase verification gates, and related continuity features.

• Access to recovery features may depend on valid email ownership, OTP verification, time limits, and attempt caps.
• Scheduled deletion, restore eligibility, and final account removal are governed by current backend rules and may be limited to one recovery opportunity where offered.
• Wallet continuity features are intended to assist legitimate account access, not to transfer custody or guarantee recovery in every scenario.

8. Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

• Exploit bugs, manipulate reward systems, or abuse any off-chain or on-chain logic.
• Use bots, automation, fraudulent activity, or unauthorized tools to interfere with service integrity.
• Attempt to bypass OTP, PIN, seed-view, deletion, restore, device-trust, or anti-abuse controls.
• Attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, networks, APIs, or infrastructure.
• Use the service for unlawful, deceptive, or harmful activity.

9. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access if we reasonably believe a user has violated these Terms, created ecosystem risk, attempted fraud, or created compliance or security issues.

10. Advertising and Third-Party Services

The service may display third-party advertisements, including Google AdMob, and may integrate third-party services or blockchain tools. We are not responsible for third-party policies, performance, or availability.

11. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the A Network brand, application design, text, graphics, and service content are owned by A Network or its licensors. You may not copy, redistribute, reverse engineer, or commercially exploit the service except as permitted by law or written authorization.

12. Disclaimers

The service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted service, specific feature availability, wallet compatibility, token liquidity, market value, successful migration outcomes, or recovery in every scenario. On-chain activity may depend on third-party networks and infrastructure beyond our control.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, A Network will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including loss of access, data, digital assets, business opportunity, or profits arising from use of the service.

14. Privacy

Your use of the service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and handle information.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after updated terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
