Nostra Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are issued by Tempus Labs Inc., a limited company based in the British Virgin Islands (the “Issuer”) in association with Tempus Foundation Company, a foundation company based in the Cayman Islands (the “Foundation”) (the Issuer and the Foundation together, “Nostra”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). We own and operate the website https://nostra.finance which acts as a front-end to various crypto applications (the website and any applications linked together the “Site”). These Terms apply to you as a user of the Site, including all the products, services, tools and information made available on the Site.

Please read these Terms carefully as they explain the terms and conditions on which you may use and access the Site. These Terms contain important information, including a binding mandatory individual arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provision, both of which impact your rights as to how disputes are resolved. By accessing or using the Site, you signify that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by the Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree to the Terms, you are not authorised to access or use the Site and should not use the Site.

Our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer are incorporated into these Terms by reference and also apply to your use of the Site.

2. Modification of the Terms

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify these Terms from time to time. You are advised to check these Terms periodically to familiarize yourself with any changes. If we make any changes, we will notify you by updating the date at the top of these Terms and by maintaining a current version of the Terms at https://nostra.finance/terms. All changes will be immediately effective when they are posted, and your continued accessing or use of the Site will serve as confirmation of your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with any changes to these Terms, you must immediately stop accessing and using the Site.

3. Site

As part of the Site, Nostra provides access to various crypto applications on the relevant blockchain (which includes any blockchain that Nostra contracts are deployed on, including but not limited to Ethereum and Starknet), that allows users to interact with certain cryptoassets using smart contracts (“Smart Contracts”).

Using such applications may require that you pay a fee, such as gas costs for using the networks supported by Nostra, to perform a transaction. You acknowledge and agree that Nostra has no control over any transactions made over such applications, the method of payment of any transactions or any actual payments of transactions. Accordingly, you must ensure that you have a sufficient balance of the applicable cryptocurrency tokens stored in your compatible wallet address (“Cryptocurrency Wallet”) to complete any transaction on any such application or the relevant network before initiating such a transaction.

4. Access to the Site and All Rights Reserved

The Site (including the crypto applications) is/are experimental and access to the Site (including your use of the crypto applications) is provided “as is” and on an “as available” basis only. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim any representations, warranties and guarantees of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including (but not limited to) those related to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, functionality, accuracy, security, and performance. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Site is voluntary and at your own risk.

We do not guarantee that the Site, or any content on it (including that provided by third party software/data providers), will always be available, uninterrupted, timely, or secure, or free from errors, omissions, defects, viruses, or other harmful elements. In particular, we highlight that the Smart Contracts have not been formally verified. Further, we cannot guarantee that the Cairo 0 programming language (in which the Smart Contracts are written) is free from compiler bugs. By using the Site, you acknowledge and agree to assume all risk (and, as described in more detail in “Limitation of Liability” below, that we shall not be responsible for any damages/losses) in relation to the risks detailed in this paragraph. You are responsible for configuring your information technology, computer programmes and platform in order to access the Site. You should use your own virus protection software.

We cannot promise that the use of the Site, or any content taken from the Site, will not infringe the rights of any third party.

From time to time, access to the Site may be interrupted, suspended or restricted (temporarily or permanently), in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, including because of a fault, error or unforeseen circumstances (including circumstances or events beyond our control, including without limitation any flood, extraordinary weather conditions, earthquake, or other act of God, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor dispute, accident, action of government, communications, power failure, or equipment or software malfunction) or because we are carrying out planned maintenance.

We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Site to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we so desire and/or to terminate your access to and use of the Site, at any time and in our sole discretion.

We may suspend or disable your access to the Site if we consider it reasonable to do so, e.g. if you breach these Terms.

We also reserve the right to modify, substitute, eliminate or add to the content of the Site at any time. Additionally, some of the content may be out of date at any given time and we are under no obligation to update it.

We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage you may suffer as a result of the Site being unavailable at any time for any reason.

We may cooperate with any law enforcement, court or government investigation or order or third party requesting or directing that we disclose information or content that you provide on the Site.

5. Risks of using the Site

You acknowledge that the Site and your use of the Site contain certain risks, including without limitation the following risks:

• That any Smart Contracts you interact with are entirely your own responsibility and liability, and that Nostra is not party to the Smart Contracts.
• At any time, your access to your cryptoassets may be suspended or terminated or there may be a delay in your access or use of your cryptoassets which may result in the cryptoassets diminishing in value or you being unable to complete a Smart Contract.
• Any site and/or application may be suspended or terminated for any or no reason, which may limit your access to your cryptoassets.
• That the Site could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or actions, which would impede or limit the ability of Nostra to continue to make available the crypto applications and, thus, could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Site.
• You understand that the relevant blockchain remains under development, which creates technological and security risks when using the Site in addition to uncertainty relating to cryptoassets and transactions therein. You acknowledge that the cost of transacting on the relevant blockchain is variable and may increase at any time causing impact to any activities taking place on the relevant blockchain, which may result in price fluctuations or increased costs when using the Site.
• You acknowledge that the Site may be subject to flaws and that you are solely responsible for evaluating any code provided by the Site. This warning and others Nostra provides in these Terms in no way evidence or represent an on-going duty to alert you to all of the potential risks of utilizing or accessing the Site.
• You acknowledge and understand that cryptography is a progressing field with advances in code cracking or other technical advancements, such as the development of quantum computers, which may present risks to the Site, and could result in the theft or loss of your cryptoassets. To the extent possible, we intend to update Nostra-developed smart contracts related to the Site to account for any advances in cryptography and to incorporate additional security measures necessary to address risks presented from technological advancements, but that intention does not guarantee or otherwise ensure full security of the Site. Although Nostra’s Smart Contracts have been audited by a third party, only one such audit has been carried out and, in any event, audits are not a guarantee of security.

Accordingly, you expressly agree that:

• You assume all risk in connection with your access and use of the Site, the crypto applications and the Smart Contracts.
• You alone are responsible for securing the private key(s) associated with your Smart Contracts. You acknowledge that we do not have access to your private key(s) and that losing control of your private key(s) will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to cryptoassets on the relevant blockchain. Neither Nostra nor any other person or entity will be able to retrieve or protect your cryptoassets. If your private key(s) are lost, then you will not be able to transfer your cryptoassets to any other blockchain address or wallet. If this occurs, then you will not be able to realize any value or utility from the cryptoassets that you may hold.
• You expressly waive and release Nostra from any and all liability, claims, causes of action, or damages arising from or in any way related to your use of the Site, the crypto applications or the Smart Contracts.

11. Not Registered with Any Government Agencies

We are not registered with any government agencies as a national securities exchange or in any other capacity. No government agencies have reviewed or approved the use of Nostra-developed software. You understand and acknowledge that we do not broker transactions on your behalf. We also do not facilitate the execution or settlement of your transactions, which occur entirely on the public distributed blockchain.

12. Non-Solicitation and No Investment Advice

You agree and understand that all transactions you submit through the Site are considered unsolicited, which means that you have not received any investment advice from us in connection with any transactions, and that we do not conduct a suitability review of any transactions you submit.

All information provided by the Site is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice. You should not take, or refrain from taking, any action based on any information contained in the Site. We do not make any investment recommendations to you or opine on the merits of any investment transaction or opportunity. You alone are responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy or related transaction is appropriate for you based on your personal investment objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance. We recommend that you seek independent financial advice if you are in any doubt.

13. Non-Custodial and No Fiduciary Duties

The Site (including the crypto applications) are purely non-custodial, meaning you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold. These Terms are not intended to, and do not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that we owe no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party, and that to the extent any such duties or liabilities may exist at law or in equity, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and eliminated. You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we owe you are those set out expressly in these Terms.

14. Financial and Technical Sophistication

Any use or interaction with the Site requires a certain level of financial and technical sophistication to understand the inherent risks, including those listed in these Terms. By accessing and using the Site, you represent that you are financially and technically sophisticated enough to understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and that you have a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and other digital tokens such as those following the Ethereum Token Standard (ERC-20). In particular, you understand that blockchain-based transactions are irreversible.

You further understand that the markets for these digital assets are highly volatile due to factors including (but not limited to) adoption, speculation, technology, security, and regulation. You acknowledge and accept that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems are variable and may increase dramatically at any time. You further acknowledge and accept the risk that your digital assets may lose some or all of their value while they are supplied to the Site, you may suffer loss due to the fluctuation of prices of tokens, and experience significant price slippage and cost. You further acknowledge that we are not responsible for any of these variables or risks and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses that you experience while accessing or using the Site. Accordingly, you understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using the Site.

15. Third-Party Resources

The Site may contain references or links to third-party resources, including (but not limited to) information, materials, products, or services, that we do not own or control. Any such references or links are provided for your information and convenience only. We do not endorse or assume any responsibility for any such resources. If you access any such resources, you do so at your own risk, and you understand that these Terms do not apply to your dealings or relationships with any third parties. Your use of a third-party site may be governed by the terms and conditions of that third-party site. You expressly relieve us of any and all liability arising from your use of any such resources, including for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such resources.

16. Indemnity

You agree to hold harmless, release, defend, and indemnify us and our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, and subsidiaries from and against all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from: (a) your access and use of the Site; (b) cryptoassets associated with your wallet address; (c) your violation of any term or condition of these Terms, the right of any third party, or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation; and (d) any other party's access and use of the Site with your assistance or using any device or account that you own or control.

17. Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances shall we or any of our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, or subsidiaries be liable to you for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including (but not limited to) damages for loss of funds, profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible property (including cryptocurrency tokens), arising out of or relating to any access or use of the Site, nor will we be responsible for any damage, loss, or injury resulting from hacking, tampering, or other unauthorized access or use of the Site or the information contained within it. We assume no liability or responsibility for any: (a) errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content; (b) personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from any access or use of the Site; (c) unauthorized access or use of any secure server or database in our control, or the use of any information or data stored therein; (d) interruption or cessation of function related to the Site; (e) bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through the Site; (f) errors or omissions in, or loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of, any content made available through the Site; and (g) the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any third party.

Under no circumstances shall we or any of our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, or subsidiaries be liable to you for any claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, or costs in an amount exceeding (a) the amount of fees paid by you to Nostra under these Terms, if any, in the twelve month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim for liability, or (b) USD $100.00, whichever is greater. This limitation of liability applies regardless of whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such liability. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of certain liabilities and damages. Accordingly, some of the disclaimers and limitations set forth in these Terms may not apply to you. This limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

18. Dispute Resolution

We will use our best efforts to resolve any potential disputes between us through informal, good faith negotiations. If a potential dispute arises, you must contact us by sending an email to legal@nostra.finance so that we can attempt to resolve it without resorting to formal dispute resolution. If we aren't able to reach an informal resolution within sixty days of your email, then you and we both agree to resolve the potential dispute according to the process set forth under “Jurisdiction and Arbitration” below.

19. Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have used the Site for personal, commercial or other purposes, all disputes, controversies or claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. You agree that, by entering into the Terms, we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.

20. Jurisdiction and Arbitration

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Nostra and limits how you can seek relief from Nostra. Also, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.

You agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in relation to these Terms, including the validity, invalidity, breach or termination thereof, and your use of the Site, or any other acts or omissions for which you may contend that we are liable, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands. The arbitration shall be held on a confidential basis. The number of arbitrators shall be one or three; the seat of the arbitration shall be determined by the arbitrator(s); the arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in English. Unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator(s) may not consolidate your claims with those of any other party.

You further agree that the Site shall be deemed to be based solely in the Cayman Islands, and that although the Site may be available in other jurisdictions, its availability does not give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction in any forum outside of the Cayman Islands.

21. Governing Law

The governing law of these Terms and the Site shall be Cayman Islands law, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

22. Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, your use of the Site). These Terms supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings (if any) relating to the subject matter of the Terms.

23. General

We may perform any of our obligations, and exercise any of the rights granted to us under these Terms, through a third-party. We may assign any or all our rights and obligations under these Terms to any third-party, in whole or in part, without notice or obtaining your consent or approval. You may not assign or transfer any right to use the Site, or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms, without our express prior written consent.

If any clause or part of any clause of these Terms is found to be void, unenforceable or invalid, then it will be severed from these Terms, leaving the remainder in full force and effect, provided that the severance has not altered the basic nature of these Terms.

Headings of sections of these Terms are for convenience only and shall not be used to limit or construe such sections.

No single or partial exercise, or failure or delay in exercising any right, power or remedy by us shall constitute a waiver by us of, or impair or preclude any further exercise of, that or any right, power or remedy arising under these Terms or otherwise.

If any of the provisions in these Terms are found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.

All disclaimers, indemnities and exclusions in these Terms shall survive termination of the Terms and shall continue to apply during any suspension or any period during which the Site is not available for you to use for any reason whatsoever.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.
