Terms of Service
Introduction
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 16 BELOW, THEY INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER WHICH (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS) REQUIRE ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN COURT.
BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT, SIGN, AND/OR USE OUR SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND ALL OF THE TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE.
Namespace is not a wallet provider, exchange, broker, dealer, financial institution, payments processor, money services business, or creditor. Namespace provides a peer-to-peer web3 service that helps users discover and directly interact with each other and NFTs (including ENS names and subnames) available on public blockchains. We do not have custody or control over the NFTs or blockchains you are interacting with and we do not execute or effectuate purchases, transfers, or sales of NFTs. To use our Service, you must use a third-party wallet that allows you to engage in transactions on blockchains.
Next to blockchain services, Namespace offers offchain subname management services to its clients that require more control and authority over the ENS Subnames they issue to their users, followers, in-game players, etc. which are hosted on Namespace's database. Namespace has done everything to ensure the security of these offchain dependencies and provides seamless integration and uptime, but cannot guarantee on behalf of the Database service provider any mishaps.
Furthermore, Namespace provides APIs and SDK as a Developer Toolkit system that helps other developers, teams, and Web3 projects to easily integrate ENS into their Dapp or a platform. The Developer Toolkit is a gateway access to Namespace protocol and leverages the codebase that is run by Namespace.
Namespace is not a party to any agreement between any users. You bear full responsibility for verifying the identity, legitimacy, and authenticity of NFTs that you purchase from third-party sellers using the Service and we make no claims, guarantees, or recommendations about the identity, legitimacy, functionality, or authenticity of users or NFTs (and any content associated with such NFTs) visible on the Service.

Assumption of Risk
You accept and acknowledge that:
Firstly, it acknowledges that the value of NFTs (including ENS names and subnames) is subjective and subject to volatility, with fluctuations in cryptocurrency prices potentially adversely affecting NFT prices. It also recognizes that users are responsible for any fees associated with using the service and blockchain transactions, which are final and irreversible. The risks associated with the development of distributed ecosystems and regulatory uncertainties in the blockchain industry are still present. Users are reminded of their responsibility for taxes related to their transactions. Additionally, the risks associated with purchasing items through peer-to-peer transactions, the lack of control over third-party smart contracts, and the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions should be taken into account while using the Namespace Platform. Namespace is built on top of ENS infrastructure and as such is reliant on ENS protocol and other third-party platforms therefore the potential impact on service accessibility exists. Namespace reserves the right to hide affected items and collections and disclaims liability for any claims arising from disputes between users. Users release Namespace from any claims, demands, or damages related to such disputes, including those that may exist in their favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
