7. OtoGO: Applicable Regulations and Know your Customer (“KYC”) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy

OtoCo is a permissionless and fully decentralised platform for blockchain entity creation and management.

As part of its Services, OtoCo provides User with the smart contract tools to create and distribute digital tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.

In addition, OtoCo’s OtoGO launchpool functionality (“OtoGO”) lets User offer tokens for reservation by stakers (“Stakers”) who connect to User’s launch pool site via a URL generated on behalf of User as part of its Service. Stakers can then connect their wallet to User launchpool and pre-order User tokens by locking digital assets in a smart contract. At the end of the Staking period, User can Lock Stakers’ funds and activate a Distribution stage that transfers User tokens to the wallets Stakers connected with.

In this respect, OtoCo makes no warranty as to the merit, legality or juridical nature of any token creation, token reservation or token distribution using OtoCo (including whether or not it is considered a security or financial instrument under any applicable Securities Laws). It is entirely the responsibility of User to determine the laws and regulations that apply to the distribution of User token to Stakers at the end of the launchpool and the need to require KYC/AML of the recipients of the User token.

Irrespective of whether OtoCo as part of its future Service will provide User with tools to whitelist Stakers and enforce KYC by default, as a software development company, OtoCo has no role in determining the laws and regulations that may apply to the creation, transfer, reservation and distribution of User token, and the use of KYC/AML tools on OtoCo is completely at the discretion of User.

Therefore, and at the sole behest of User and/or competent regulatory authorities:

OtoCo reserves the right, at any time, to ask for any KYC documentation it deems necessary to determine the identity and location of a User. OtoCo reserves the right to restrict service and payment until identity is sufficiently determined.

OtoCo further reserves the right to share submitted KYC information and documentation to 3rd parties to verify the authenticity of submitted information, and the end User (you) agree to this by using the Service.

OtoCo reserves the right to confiscate any and all funds that are found to be in violation of relevant and applicable anti-money laundering (AML) and countering terrorism financing (CFT) laws and regulations, and to cooperate with the competent authorities when and if necessary.

OtoCo expressly prohibits and rejects the use of the Service for any form of illicit activity, including money laundering, terrorist financing or trade sanctions violations, consistent with various jurisdictions’ laws, regulations and norms. To that end, the Service is not offered to individuals or entities on any Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) lists, or subject to any United States, European Union, or other global sanctions or watch lists. By using the Service, end users represent and warrant that they are not on any such lists.

8. Breach

1. Without prejudice to any other rights, if a User breaches in whole or in part any provision contained herein, OtoCo reserves the right to take such action as it sees fit, including terminating this Agreement or any other agreement in place with the User and/or taking legal action against such User.
2. You agree to fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless OtoCo and its shareholders, directors, agents and employees from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including legal fees and any other charges whatsoever, howsoever caused, that may arise as a result of: (i) your breach of this Agreement, in whole or in part; (ii) violation by you of any law or any third party rights; and (iii) use by you of the Service.

9. Limitations and Liability

1. Under no circumstances, including negligence, shall OtoCo be liable for any special, incidental, direct, indirect or consequential damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use (or misuse) of the Service even if OtoCo had prior knowledge of the possibility of such damages.
2. Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit OtoCo's liability for death or personal injury resulting from its negligence.

10. Disputes

If a User wishes to make a complaint, please contact OtoCo’s admin team at admin@otoco.io. Should any dispute not be resolved to your satisfaction you may pursue remedies in the governing law jurisdiction set forth below.

11. Amendment

OtoCo reserves the right to update or modify this Agreement or any part thereof at any time or otherwise change the Service without notice and you will be bound by such amended Agreement upon posting.

Your continued use of the Service shall be deemed to attest to your agreement to any amendments to the Agreement.

12. Governing Law

The Agreement and any matters relating hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the British Virgin Islands. You irrevocably agree that, subject as provided below, the courts of the British Virgin Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any claim, dispute or difference concerning the Agreement and any matter arising therefrom and irrevocably waive any right that it may have to object to an action being brought in those courts, or to claim that the action has been brought in an inconvenient forum, or that those courts do not have jurisdiction. Nothing in this clause shall limit the right of OtoCo to take proceedings against you in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdictions, whether concurrently or not, to the extent permitted by the law of such other jurisdiction.

13. Severability

If a provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect the validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision hereof or the validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other provision hereof.

14. Assignment

OtoCo reserves the right to assign this agreement, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. The User may not assign any of his/her rights or obligations under this Agreement.

15. Miscellaneous

1. No waiver by OtoCo of any breach of any provision of this Agreement (including the failure of OtoCo to require strict and literal performance of or compliance with any provision of this Agreement) shall in any way be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement.
2. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or confer any rights or other benefits in favour of any third parties not party to this Agreement.
3. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create a partnership, agency, trust arrangement, fiduciary relationship or joint venture between you and OtoCo.
4. OtoCo may assign, transfer, charge, sub-license, or deal in any other manner with this Agreement, or sub-contract any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, to any other party.
5. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between you and OtoCo regarding the Service and supersedes any prior agreement, understanding, or arrangement between you and OtoCo.

16. Cryptocurrency

• CRYPTOCURRENCY VALUES CAN FLUCTUATE GREATLY IN VALUE DEPENDING ON MARKET CONDITIONS.
• THE USER WARRANTS THAT IT IS AWARE OF THE VOLATILE NATURE OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES, AND HOLDS OtoCo HARMLESS FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM SUCH VOLATILITY.
