Using these functionalities, including through the Grid application ("Grid") on our website, may pose significant risks to you and your online assets. This document provides crucial information about these risks, your rights and obligations, as well as the conditions, limitations, and exclusions that may apply. Please read it carefully.

By accessing or using Grid, you agree to be bound by the terms described herein and all terms incorporated by reference. These terms mandate arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions.
User Eligibility
You may not use our website or services if:

- You do not agree to these terms;
- You are not the older of (i) at least eighteen (18) years of age; or (ii) the legal age to form a binding contract;
- You are prohibited from accessing or using this website or any of its functionalities by these terms or applicable law.
## Restricted Jurisdictions
The protocol is not offered to individuals or entities residing, located, incorporated, or registered in any prohibited jurisdiction as defined below. No exceptions will be made. If you are a "Restricted Person," do not attempt to use the protocol or any services. The use of a Virtual Private Network ("VPN") to circumvent these restrictions is strictly prohibited.
## Acceptance of These Terms of Use
These terms of use are between you ("User") and Grid network Corp. ("Company," "we," "us," "our," or "Grid"). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents incorporated by reference (collectively, these "Terms of Use" or this "Agreement"), govern your access to and use of https://GetGrid.ai/ and its sub-pages, including any content or functionality offered on or through the website-hosted user application accessible via https://app.getgrid.ai/ (the "Application," collectively with other https://getgrid.ai/ subpages, the "Website").
## Agreement to Terms
By using the Website or the Application, you accept and agree to abide by these Terms of Use and all documents incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use or any incorporated documents, you must not access the Website or use the Application.The Website is available to users who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. By using this Website, you represent and warrant that you are at least the higher of the legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction or eighteen (18) years old. You also represent and warrant that you are not a citizen or resident of, nor located in, any country where using the Website is illegal or impermissible under applicable laws, which include any rule, statute, regulation, bylaw, court order, administrative statement, code, decree, or other directive enforceable by a valid authority.

The Services and Protocol

Overview
The services provided by the Website (the "Services") include methods and information enabling users of the Application ("Participants") to engage in a pioneering Decentralized Peer-to-Peer Internet Networking ("DEPIN") ecosystem. These Services empower Participants to contribute to a decentralized network that collects and processes data essential for AI model training, democratizing AI research and making it universally accessible. In conjunction with the Services, Grid is developing a blockchain-based protocol (the "Protocol"), designed to offer a transparent and secure framework for operations, fostering trust and participation among network participants.
Interaction with the Protocol
The Application is one of several ways Participants can interact with, contribute to, access, or influence the Protocol. Therefore, the Services (including the Website and the Application) are distinct from the Protocol. Any products or offerings of the Protocol should not be viewed as products or offerings provided by Grid or the Website.
Before accessing the Protocol (whether via the Application or otherwise), you should be familiar with it and understand the associated risks, including the potential forfeiture of your Digital Assets due to the Protocol's encoded parameters or other reasons. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF OR INTERACTION WITH THE PROTOCOL IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. GRID DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY AND MAKES NO WARRANTIES RELATED TO THE PROTOCOL, WHETHER ACCESSED VIA OUR SERVICES OR OTHERWISE.
Transactional Fees
To fully engage with and benefit from Grid’s Services, including the Application, you may need to pay transactional fees imposed by the underlying blockchain or distributed ledger technology compatible with the Protocol, or directly by the Protocol itself. These fees ("Blockchain Fees") facilitate and incentivize proper utilization within the Protocol's ecosystem. For example, Blockchain Fees may apply when redeeming rewards, setting up a blockchain-compatible wallet, or transferring distributed rewards into your personal digital asset wallet.
Please note that Grid does not directly charge these Blockchain Fees; they result from your interaction with the Services and the governance rules of the Protocol and the broader blockchain community. Grid has no control over Blockchain Fees, including their imposition, collection, amounts, or operational execution and effectiveness, whether they arise from your use of the Services or otherwise. By using the Services, you agree that Grid is not liable for any aspect of the Blockchain Fees, including payment, reimbursement, refund, disbursement, compensation, or any other related matter.
For additional details on blockchain technology, digital assets, and the associated risks, please refer to the section titled: "Nature of Blockchain; Assumption of Risk; Waiver of Claims."

Arbitration; Class Arbitration Waiver
Arbitration Agreement
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising from or related to the User’s use of the Website or Services, or this Agreement, including issues regarding interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in New York, New York, following its Arbitration Rules. A single arbitrator will conduct the proceedings, which will be held remotely as much as possible. Each party will bear its own expenses, including attorney fees, which may be reallocated by the arbitrator in the final award. The arbitration will be conducted in English. The prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and other costs in addition to any other relief. Interim or provisional relief available from a court of law can be obtained in accordance with ICDR rules, but nothing in this Agreement prevents the parties from seeking preliminary injunctive relief in a New York court to prevent irreparable harm before arbitration concludes. The final arbitration award may be confirmed in a New York state or federal court, and the parties agree to waive any claims of improper venue. Unless required by law, neither party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without written consent from both parties. The tribunal has the authority to rule on challenges to its jurisdiction or the validity of the arbitration agreement. The parties agree to arbitrate only on an individual basis, and these Terms of Use do not permit class arbitration or claims brought as a class member. The arbitrator cannot consolidate multiple claims or preside over any representative or class proceedings. If the prohibition on class arbitration is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of the agreement will remain in effect.
Limitation on Time to File Claims
Any claim or cause of action arising from or related to these Terms of Use or the User’s use of the Website must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, it is permanently barred.
Waiver and Severability
A waiver by Grid of any term or condition in these Terms of Use will not be considered a continuing waiver of that term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. If Grid fails to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Use, it does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a competent authority, that provision will be removed or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full effect.
Entire Agreement
These Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and any documents incorporated by reference form the complete agreement between the User and Grid regarding the Website, superseding all prior agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral.
Changes to Terms
We may revise and update these Terms of Use at our discretion. Changes are effective immediately upon posting and apply to all subsequent access to and use of the Website. However, changes to dispute resolution provisions will not apply to disputes for which the parties were aware before the changes were posted.
Referral Program
Grid may have a referral program allowing Users to earn rewards by introducing new Participants using a unique referral link. These Terms of Use apply to the Referral Program. Attempts to manipulate the referral system may result in cancellation of rewards and exclusion from the program.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
