If you do not agree to these terms, you should not use the Platform.

4. Payments

  • Transaction Fees: There may be transaction fees associated with payments and withdrawals, which will be disclosed at the time of payment.

  • DAO Arbitration: Any unresolved disputes may be taken to the DAO for arbitration, where decisions will be made based on the Platform’s governance protocols.

7. Intellectual Property

  • Ownership of Work: All work created on the Platform, including but not limited to content, code, designs, and AI-generated outputs, will be the intellectual property of the client upon payment.
