🌶️ Chilitize – Terms & Conditions

Chilitize operates solely via these verified smart contracts on the Chiliz Chain:

If it's not recorded by these contracts, it's not Chilitize. No shadow peppers, no secret sauce.

“NFT”: A non-fungible token on a public blockchain, with ownership/transfer governed by a smart contract.

“Use”: Accessing, viewing, interacting with, or engaging with the Platform (including connecting a wallet, minting, listing, buying, selling).

“NFT Terms”: Any separate terms set by creators/sellers for a particular NFT/collection (licenses, utility, off-chain perks, royalty expectations, etc.). These are between you and them.

Chilitize is a non-custodial, peer-to-peer web3 interface that helps you mint and interact with NFTs directly on-chain.

Chilitize is not a wallet provider, exchange, broker, dealer, financial institution, payment processor, money services business, or creditor. We don't hold your keys, your assets, or your hand.

You need a third-party wallet to Use the Platform. You alone are responsible for securing your wallet, devices, seed phrase, and private keys. We don't operate or control wallets and can't recover them. If your wallet catches fire, call your wallet provider (and maybe a fire extinguisher).

Minted files/metadata are pinned to IPFS via Piñata and public by design (forever is a very long time).

You agree to Piñata's terms for storage.

We may restrict or delist items from our front-end for legal, safety, or policy reasons. This never changes on-chain ownership.

The Platform may surface third-party links (wallets, explorers, token data, gateways). We don't control or endorse third-party services or public blockchains. Functionality, uptime, forks, finality, and persistence are outside our control. Proceed like you're handling a hot skillet.

By minting/listing, you confirm you own or have rights to the content and its metadata; it doesn't break laws or third-party rights; and you accept full responsibility for it (including if it gets meme'd into oblivion).

You grant Chilitize a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, cache, index, display, and promote your content as needed to operate and improve the Platform (e.g., discovery, previews, social snippets). You keep ownership of your art.

You represent you're not (and are not owned/controlled by) a sanctioned person, and not located in a restricted jurisdiction, and you won't Use the Platform for or on behalf of such persons. You'll comply with all applicable laws (including sanctions, export controls, AML/CFT, consumer, tax).

We may request additional information/documents to comply with law. We may restrict or disable access until provided.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform (including APIs) at any time, without liability. Downtime happens (maintenance, upgrades, chili eruptions).

NFT Terms (licenses, utilities, perks) are set by creators/sellers and are strictly between you and them. Chilitize does not enforce off-chain promises.

Taxes: You're 100% responsible for all taxes arising from your Use (mints, buys, sells, rewards, etc.). We don't provide tax advice.

We may — but are not obligated to — review, restrict, block, delist, or disable content, addresses, contracts, or features (including front-end visibility) at our discretion for legal or policy reasons. Choosing to act (or not) creates no duty and no liability to you.

You understand and accept:

• NFTs/crypto are volatile; values can go to zero.
• Transactions are irreversible.
• Networks may fork; nodes/wallets/clients/smart contracts can fail or be exploited.
• IPFS/gateways can hiccup; content may become temporarily unavailable via some gateways.
• Markets can be illiquid; timing can be unlucky.

Spend only what you can afford to flambé.

The Platform is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.”

We disclaim all warranties, express or implied (including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, accuracy, and security). We don't guarantee uninterrupted operation, error-free software, persistence of content, correctness of metadata, or that your chili JPEG will sell, moon, or even sizzle.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Chilitize's and its affiliates'/service providers' total aggregate liability for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Platform or these Terms is $0 (zero).

We also disclaim liability for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages (lost profits, data, goodwill, opportunities, etc.), even if advised of the possibility.

Note: Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations or exclusions; in those places, we limit liability to the minimum legally permitted, which we intend to be zero.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Chilitize, its affiliates, and their personnel from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (i) your Use; (ii) your content/NFTs; (iii) your violation of these Terms or law; or (iv) your violation of third-party rights.

These Terms and any non-arbitrable dispute or claim are governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

Exclusive jurisdiction and venue: the courts of the British Virgin Islands.

You waive any objection to venue or forum non conveniens. (Bring sunscreen.)

(If you later want arbitration + class waiver instead, tell us and we'll swap in a BVI-compatible arbitration clause.)

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access at any time, with or without notice, for any reason (Comic Sans counts). You're not entitled to refunds for amounts already paid.

Sections that should reasonably survive (fees, storage, compliance, IP, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, dispute resolution, definitions) survive termination.

We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be signposted (e.g., “Last Updated” date or in-app notice). Continued Use after updates means you accept the new Terms. Please check periodically; chili cools fast.

Severability. If any clause is invalid, the rest stays spicy.

Assignment. You can't assign these Terms without our consent; we can assign freely.

Waiver. Not enforcing a right doesn't waive it.

Entire Agreement. These Terms (plus any referenced policies) are the whole enchilada.

Interpretation. “Including” means “including without limitation”; headings don't control meaning.

Third-Party Beneficiaries. None, unless we say otherwise (e.g., app stores).

If the chili hits the fan (legally speaking), serve papers in accordance with BVI rules of service. For general questions, ping us via the Platform channels (no carrier pigeons — they fear peppers).
