However, it is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure that the tokens created do not contain any illegal, discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate content and comply with all legal requirements.

Possible risks and dangers when creating tokens The creation and use of tokens on blockchain platforms entails considerable risks, particularly in connection with scams, rug pulls and possible security vulnerabilities in smart contracts. The following risks must be considered:

• Scams and rug pulls: The misuse of tokens to carry out fraudulent projects (scams) or rug pulls (where the developers of a project suddenly disappear after receiving the investment) is unfortunately widespread in the blockchain world. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the tokens and the underlying project are legitimate and do not have fraudulent intentions. SolidProof.io accepts no responsibility for financial losses caused by fraudulent token projects.
• Security gaps in smart contracts: Even with the utmost care, there may be security vulnerabilities in smart contracts that may go undetected. These loopholes can be exploited by malicious actors to gain access to the tokens or the underlying funds. This can lead to a total loss of funds. SolidProof.io checks the contents of the tokens before publication, but does not guarantee the complete security or accuracy of the smart contracts created.
• Malfunctions or unforeseen consequences of smart contract functions: Certain features in smart contracts can potentially lead to unexpected results, including the blocking of funds, the unintended transfer of tokens, or the permanent loss of tokens. Users should ensure that the smart contract features they implement do not pose security risks or have unintended consequences.

Disclaimer for token use and security risks SolidProof.io accepts no liability for any loss, damage or financial loss arising from the creation, implementation or use of tokens on the solidproof.io or app.solidproof.io platforms. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Losses due to security gaps in the smart contracts created,

Future-proofing the platform SolidProof.io reserves the right to continuously expand the Token Minter platform and add new features or supported blockchain platforms. All future features are subject to these T&Cs and the above disclaimer.

13) Coin system

SolidProof.io works with an internal coin system that allows customers to purchase coins that can be used for services on the platform. This system offers users a flexible and transparent way to pay for services in advance and access them as needed. Coins can be used for all services offered on the platform, including but not limited to token creation, audit services and access to advanced platform features.

Advantages of the coin system The coin system offers several advantages for both the platform and the users:

• Simplified billing: Instead of making separate payments for each individual service, users can build up a credit balance by purchasing coins, which they can use flexibly for different services. This reduces the effort involved in transactions and enables faster processing.
• Flexibility and control: Users can purchase coins and use them as needed, giving them more control over their spending. They can use their coins for current or future services without having to rely on one-off payment processes.
• Incentives and discounts: SolidProof.io can use the coin system to offer discounts or incentives to customers who purchase a larger amount of coins. This creates an incentive-based ecosystem that motivates customers to use more services.
• Transparency: A fixed conversion rate between coins and services creates greater transparency for the user. Customers know in advance how many coins are required for a particular service, which increases the predictability of costs.
• Better budget planning: Companies and individuals can plan better with the coin system by purchasing their coins in advance and thus setting budgets for future expenses.

Use and validity of the coins The purchased coins can only be used on the platform solidproof.io or app.solidproof.io for the services offered. Coins are not valid outside the platform and cannot be used for third-party services. The validity of the coins is unlimited, unless SolidProof.io decides to change or terminate the coin system. In such a case, users will be granted a reasonable period of time to use the remaining coins.

Non-convertibility into other currencies and refunds Coins acquired via the platform cannot be converted into other currencies or paid out. This includes both fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies.

Refunds for purchased coins are generally excluded. As soon as a customer has purchased Coins, the transaction is binding and the user is not entitled to a refund of the purchase price, even if the Coins are not used. Expiry of coins in the event of account closure or inactivity SolidProof.io reserves the right to close user accounts in the event of violations of the GTC or prolonged inactivity. In such a case, all coins remaining in the account will expire irrevocably without the user being entitled to a refund or conversion into other currencies.

In the event that SolidProof.io ceases to operate the platform or abolishes the coin system, users will be granted a reasonable period of time to use any remaining coins. After this period has expired, all unused coins expire without entitlement to a refund.

Disclaimer SolidProof.io accepts no liability for losses or damages caused by the expiry of coins, whether due to account closures, inactivity or the discontinuation of the coin system. Users bear the full risk for the timely use of their purchased coins.

16) Indemnification (exemption)

You agree to indemnify and hold SolidProof.io, its directors, employees, freelancers, affiliates and their agents harmless from any claims, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to:

• your use of the website and the services offered through it,
• breach of these GTC or other contractual agreements,
• the infringement of third-party rights, including intellectual property rights, data protection rights or other property rights,
• claims arising from the use of third-party content or services accessed via the website,
• or any other action in connection with your use of the platform.

Protection for employees, freelancers and external partners This indemnification clause applies not only to SolidProof.io as a company, but also to its directors, employees, freelancers and external partners, insofar as they act in connection with the provision of services via the platform. However, external partners offering services via the SolidProof.io platform or acting on their own behalf are solely responsible for their own actions and services. Should a contract be concluded with an external partner, the legal relationships between the client and the external partner are excluded from the liability and responsibility of SolidProof.io.

Personal responsibility of external partners and freelancers SolidProof.io accepts no liability for services provided by external partners or freelancers, even if these services were offered or brokered via the platform. If a direct contract is concluded between a customer and an external service provider (e.g. freelancer or partner), the responsibility for the fulfillment of the contractual obligations and all legal obligations arising therefrom lies with the external service provider. The user agrees that claims or lawsuits against external partners or freelancers cannot be asserted against SolidProof.io.

Legal limitations To the extent permitted by applicable law, you release SolidProof.io and all persons associated with the company and external service providers from any liability. This indemnification shall apply even if the services are provided by external partners on our behalf, unless SolidProof.io can be proven to have acted willfully or with gross negligence.

17) Dispute resolution and applicable law

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and all contracts concluded in connection with the use of the solidproof.io and app.solidproof.io platforms or the services offered on them are subject exclusively to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

Place of jurisdiction For all disputes arising from or in connection with these GTC, the use of the platform or the use of services, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is the competent court in Flensburg, provided that the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law or has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany. However, SolidProof.io reserves the right to bring an action at the user's general place of jurisdiction.

Out-of-court dispute resolution Before initiating legal proceedings, both parties endeavor to resolve a dispute by means of an outof-court dispute resolution procedure. This can take the form of mediation, arbitration or other alternative methods of dispute resolution. If no agreement can be reached, legal action may be taken. Users have the option of contacting a consumer arbitration board if this is required or permitted by law.

International users Users of the platform who are resident outside Germany agree that the law of the Federal Republic of Germany also applies to cross-border services and that the courts in Flensburg shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes arising out of or in connection with the use of the platform or the services. This applies irrespective of the country in which the user is domiciled or habitually resident.

18) Changes to the GTC

SolidProof.io reserves the right to change, modify or update these General Terms and Conditions (GTC) at any time. Changes will be announced on the website solidproof.io and/or app.solidproof.io by means of a corresponding notification. Users will also be notified of significant changes affecting their rights and obligations by e-mail to the last address provided.

Notification and entry into force Amendments to the GTC shall enter into force upon their publication on the Website, unless a later date is expressly stated. Continued use of the website or the services after publication of the amended GTC shall be deemed to constitute the user's consent to the amendments.

Material changes and right of termination In the event of material changes to these GTC that significantly affect the rights or obligations of users, users have the right to terminate the contract or the use of the services with a notice period of 30 days after notification of the changes, unless they agree to the changes. SolidProof.io will refer to this termination option in the notification. If the user continues to use the platform after the changes come into effect, the amended GTC shall be deemed accepted. No retroactive effect Amendments to the GTC shall not apply retroactively. Rights that arose prior to the amendment remain unaffected by the amendments.

Notification and consent If the user does not agree with the changes to the GTC, he/she is obliged to stop using the platform and the services. Continued use shall be deemed tacit consent to the changes.

19) Use of feedback

If you provide SolidProof.io with any feedback, suggestions or ideas about the Services, the Platform or any other aspect of the business (collectively, "Feedback"), you agree that SolidProof.io may use such Feedback without compensation, acknowledgment or other obligation. SolidProof.io is authorized to use, modify, publish or distribute the Feedback in any form to improve the Services and the Platform.

No entitlement to remuneration

Users who provide feedback are not entitled to financial compensation or recognition unless otherwise agreed in writing in advance. SolidProof.io is not liable for ideas that have already been developed internally or provided by other sources.

20) Severability clause

Should any provision of these General Terms and Conditions be or become invalid, unenforceable or void, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision.

The same applies in the event that these GTC contain an unintentional loophole. In this case, the loophole shall be replaced by a provision that corresponds to what the parties would have agreed if they had recognized the loophole.
