Sustainable Bitcoin Protocol Terms of Service

Scope
These terms govern use of the Sustainable Bitcoin Standard website at https://www.sustainablebtc.org and the decentralized applications (or “dApps”) available from or linked from that site and other addresses. The operator of the website may offer other products and services. These terms apply only to use of the website and dApps.

Important Terms
These terms include a number of especially important provisions that affect your rights and responsibilities, such as the disclaimers in Disclaimers, limits on the operator’s legal liability to you in Limits on Liability, your agreement to reimburse the operator for problems caused by your misuse of the website in Your Responsibility, and an agreement about how to resolve disputes in Disputes.

The Sustainable Bitcoin Standard verifies that bitcoin was mined using green energy and issues a Sustainable Bitcoin Certificate for each BTC mined, built as a smart contract on the Stacks blockchain. This process may be facilitated or made publicly available using the dApps offered by the operator, which will allow miners to register, add their energy verification status, prove which public BTC address is theirs, and connect their Stacks “STX” wallets, among other features.

Sustainable Digital Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, operates the website and its dApps. It is referred to in this document as the “operator.”Using the dApps may require that you pay a fee to the operator. Using the dApps may also require that you pay a fee to parties other than the operator, such as gas charges on the blockchain to perform a transaction. You acknowledge and agree that the operator has no control over such transactions, the method of payment of such transactions or any actual payments of transactions. Accordingly, you must ensure that you have a sufficient balance of the applicable cryptocurrency tokens stored at your protocol-compatible wallet address to complete any transaction on the blockchain or dApps before initiating such transaction.
