The Platform, including all content, features, functionality, software, designs, trademarks, and other intellectual property, is owned by AvenueD and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Platform without our express written consent.

5.2 User Content License

By submitting content to the Platform (including profile information, mission submissions, and community posts), you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, display, and distribute such content in connection with operating the Platform.

5.3 Community Content

Content created by community owners (including branding, missions, and community materials) remains the property of the respective community owner. Users may interact with such content only as permitted by the Platform and community rules.

6. $AVED Tokens & Rewards

6.1 Nature of $AVED Tokens

You understand and acknowledge that:

• $AVED tokens are NOT securities. They do not represent any ownership interest, equity, voting rights, or claim to profits in AvenueD or any other entity.
• $AVED tokens have NO guaranteed value. The value of tokens may fluctuate significantly and may decrease to zero. Past performance does not indicate future results.
• $AVED tokens are utility tokens intended solely for use within the AvenueD ecosystem, including boosting reward potential and participating in platform features.
• Tokens are earned through participation and are not purchased from AvenueD as an investment.

6.2 No Investment Advice

AvenueD does NOT provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. Nothing on the Platform should be construed as such advice. You should consult your own professional advisors before making any decisions involving cryptocurrency or digital assets.

6.3 Cryptocurrency Risks

By using the Platform and receiving tokens, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:

• Price Volatility: Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile. The value of your tokens may decrease substantially or become worthless.
• Irreversibility: Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Once tokens are transferred, the transaction cannot be undone.
• Smart Contract Risk: Tokens are distributed via smart contracts. Smart contracts may contain bugs or vulnerabilities that could result in loss of tokens.
• Regulatory Risk: Cryptocurrency regulations vary by jurisdiction and may change. Regulatory changes could affect your ability to use, transfer, or hold tokens.
• Technical Risk: You may lose access to your tokens due to lost private keys, wallet compromise, or technical failures.
• Network Risk: Blockchain network congestion, forks, or failures could affect token transfers and availability.

6.4 Tax Responsibility

You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes that may apply to your receipt, holding, transfer, or use of tokens. We do not provide tax advice and recommend consulting a qualified tax professional.

6.5 Reward Distribution

Token rewards are distributed at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate reward programs at any time. Rewards earned through fraudulent or prohibited activities may be revoked. Distribution of rewards is subject to successful completion of any required KYC verification.

7. Payments & Subscriptions

7.1 Payment Processing

Payments on the Platform may be processed through third-party payment processors, including Stripe for card payments and blockchain networks for cryptocurrency payments. By making a payment, you agree to the terms and conditions of the applicable payment processor.

7.2 Cryptocurrency Payments

For cryptocurrency payments, you acknowledge that:

• Exchange rates fluctuate and are determined at the time of transaction
• You are responsible for all network (gas) fees
• Transactions are irreversible once confirmed on the blockchain
• Delays may occur due to network congestion

7.3 Subscriptions

Some community features may require paid subscriptions. Subscription terms, including pricing, billing cycles, and cancellation policies, are specified at the time of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled before the renewal date.

7.4 Refunds

Refund policies are determined by individual community owners for community-specific purchases. Platform-level purchases are generally non-refundable except as required by applicable law. Cryptocurrency payments are non-refundable due to the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13.2 Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.

Arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at www.adr.org. The arbitration shall take place in the State of Delaware, United States, unless you and we agree otherwise.

13.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND AVENUED AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

Unless both you and AvenueD agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

13.4 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to info@aved.ai within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, wallet address, email address (if provided), and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.

15.5 Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by posting the updated Terms on the Platform and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Platform after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
