1.1 These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Veledah, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("veledah," "we," "us"). They cover the veledah website and everything on it (the "Service"). By creating an account, ticking a box to accept, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
1.2 Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and why. It is part of these Terms.
1.3 Some steps show their own terms when you take them, such as starting a drop for your Card or ordering a printed card. What you accept there is part of these Terms.
2.1 You must be 18 or older and able to make a binding contract. No one under 18 may use the Service, and no Card may exist for anyone under 18.
2.2 One person, one account. An account belongs to one real person. Accounts for companies, groups, bots, or anyone other than the person who opened them are not allowed.
2.3 You may not use the Service if the law bars you from it, including if you are on a U.S. government sanctions list or live in a country under U.S. sanctions.
2.4 Buying, selling, and holding coins and USDC on the Service are open only where we say they are on the Service. We may ask where you live and limit what you can do based on it. Don't use a VPN or false information to get around this.
3.1 veledah shows real, verified people. A verified person can make a profile with a card page and card art (together, their "Card"). A person who has made a Card is a "Listed Person."
3.2 A Card can have coins. Collectors buy and sell them in USDC, and can trade them in for a printed copy of the Card. Sections 7 to 15 cover coins, drops, trading, USDC, printed cards, and their risks.
3.3 Play money is retired. The Service used to run a play-money game with credits ("CR"). CR never had monetary value and never will. Old CR balances, holdings, and history stay on record and may be shown to you. They can't be used, sold, transferred, or exchanged for anything, now or later, and they never become coins or USDC.
3.4 Nothing on the Service is financial, legal, or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell anything. A Card or its coin price is not a rating of a person's worth, character, or credit, and you may not present it as one.
4.1 Give us accurate information and keep it current. Keep your password and sign-in email safe. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us at legal@veledah.com if someone else uses it.
4.2 If you sign in with Google or connect another account (for example GitHub), that provider's own terms also apply to that account.
4.3 We send the emails the Service needs, such as sign-in links, receipts, order updates, and notices about these Terms. You can't turn those off while your account is open.
5.1 Before you can make a Card, we check that you are a real person, 18 or older, and not already on the Service. We may also ask for a check before you buy, sell, deposit, or withdraw, or later if something looks wrong.
5.2 Checks are run by Stripe Identity on Stripe's own page. Stripe asks for your consent before it uses your face data, and Stripe's terms and privacy policy apply to what you give Stripe. We ask Stripe to delete the ID images and details it keeps for us 30 days after your check ends (Privacy Policy section 3).
5.3 You promise that any ID and information you give are yours and genuine. One ID verifies one account.
5.4 We use identity checks only to admit people to the Service, to keep it one person, one account, and to meet our legal duties. Never for credit, employment, housing, or insurance decisions.
5.5 We may refuse a check, ask you to check again, or remove your verification if information looks false, duplicated, or compromised, or if someone else runs your account.
6.1 Only you can list you. You may make a Card only for yourself. You may not list, or try to list, anyone else. We remove any Card made without the person's own verified consent.
6.2 One Card, one ticker, for good. A verified person has one Card. Its ticker is permanent and is never given to anyone else, even after the Card is closed.
6.3 Your photo. A Card needs a photo of you. By uploading one, you confirm it is you, and you let us host, copy, and show it on your Card, in lists and search on the Service, in link previews, and in your card art, worldwide and for free. You can replace it at any time.
6.4 Your card art and printed cards. We make your card art from your photo, your name and ticker, and the design choices you make. The templates, layouts, foils, and other design are ours. We keep each version of your card art as a record. You let us print and ship your card art on the printed cards collectors order (section 12), worldwide and for free. You can't withdraw this for a printed card already ordered, because coins were traded in for it.
6.5 Links and updates. Links you add and accounts you connect are shown on your Card. Updates you post can be edited for 10 minutes. After that they can't be changed or deleted, only followed by a linked correction.
6.6 Closing your Card. You can close your account from Account at any time. Coins already issued for your Card keep existing, and collectors can keep holding, selling, and trading them in. What we delete and what stays on record is in section 7 of the Privacy Policy.
7.1 Each Card can have 1,000,000 coins, issued once, as tokens on the Solana blockchain. No more are ever issued for that Card.
7.2 A coin is a digital collectible tied to a Card. You can buy it, sell it, or trade it in for a printed card. It gives you no ownership of, claim on, or right to any profit from the Listed Person, veledah, or anyone else. It gives you no right to the Listed Person's time, attention, or services, and no promise that anyone will buy it.
7.3 We hold coins for you in wallets we control, and our records show which coins are yours. Coins stay on the Service: you can't send them to an outside wallet. You can sell them on the Service or trade them in for a printed card.
7.4 Issues, deposits, withdrawals, and trade-ins are recorded on the Solana blockchain, which is public and permanent. Trades between collectors are recorded on our ledger.
8.1 A Card's coins are first sold in a drop. Only the Listed Person can start a drop for their Card. Before it starts, we show the Listed Person the terms for their own coins (section 9) and record that they accepted them.
8.2 A drop offers 900,000 coins. You bid a price and a number of coins, and the USDC for your bid is set aside when you bid. A bid can't be taken back once placed.
8.3 When the drop closes, one price is set: the highest price at which bids cover all 900,000 coins. Everyone who bid at or above that price pays that same price. Bids above it are filled in full. Bids at that price share what is left in proportion, person by person. The USDC you set aside beyond what you pay is released to you.
8.4 A drop goes ahead only if bids cover all 900,000 coins and meet the minimums shown on the drop. If it doesn't, no coins are issued, every bid's USDC is released, and the Listed Person may start another drop later.
8.5 A drop has no fee. The USDC paid for coins in a drop is paid to veledah. It is not paid to the Listed Person.
8.6 We may cancel a drop before its coins are issued if the law requires it, if it was set up in error, or if we find abuse. If we do, every bid's USDC is released.
9.1 When a drop goes ahead and its coins are issued, the Listed Person receives 100,000 of their Card's coins, locked. Locked coins can't be sold or traded in. None unlock for the first 30 days after the coins are issued. On day 30, 8,219 unlock at once. After that they unlock steadily until all are unlocked one year after issue.
9.2 A Listed Person can't bid in their own drop. Their 100,000 coins count toward their own 10% limit (section 10.4).
9.3 When a Listed Person sells coins of their own Card, the sale is labelled "Creator sale" on the Card's market, for everyone to see.
9.4 20% of the trading fees we collect on a Card are paid to its Listed Person, in USDC, to their account on the Service.
9.5 We may need tax information from a Listed Person before we pay them, and may report payments to tax authorities as the law requires.
10.1 After a drop, collectors buy and sell a Card's coins with each other on the Card's market, at prices they set. We run the market. We are not the buyer or the seller in a trade between collectors.
10.2 An order says a price and a number of coins. It may fill in full, in part, or not at all. While it is open, the USDC or coins it needs are set aside. You can cancel an open order at any time. What has already filled stays filled.
10.3 The fee. When your order trades against an order that was already waiting on the market, you pay a fee of 1.00% of the trade's value. The order that was waiting pays nothing. The fee is shown before you place an order.
10.4 The 10% limit. No one may hold more than 10% of a Card's coins: 100,000 of the 1,000,000 issued. Coins burned by trade-ins don't lower the limit. We count everything a person holds, however it was bought. An order or bid that would pass the limit is refused or filled only up to it.
10.5 Trades are final. We may cancel open orders on a Card that is paused or closed, or on the whole Service when trading is paused, and release what they set aside.
11.1 Coins are priced and paid for in USDC, a digital dollar issued by Circle. We hold your USDC for you in wallets we control, and our records show how much is yours. Your USDC is not a bank deposit and is not insured by the FDIC or any government.
11.2 We don't lend your USDC or coins to anyone. Fees, and what is paid to us in drops, become ours when the trade or drop settles.
11.3 Proved wallets. Before you deposit or withdraw, you prove a Solana wallet is yours by signing a message with it. Signing moves nothing. Deposits count only when they come from a wallet you proved. Withdrawals go only to a wallet you proved.
11.4 Send only USDC on the Solana network to the deposit address we show you. Anything else, or USDC sent on another network, may be lost, and we may not be able to recover it.
11.5 Withdrawals may have daily limits, shown on the Service. Blockchain transfers can't be reversed. Check the wallet before you confirm.
11.6 If we offer a way to buy USDC with dollars or turn USDC into dollars, a licensed partner provides it under its own terms, which you accept with that partner.
12.1 Trading in. You can trade in 100 coins of a Card, plus the printing and shipping price, for one printed copy of that Card. The price is shown in U.S. dollars before you pay, with any sales tax we collect. Each Card can have at most 10,000 printed copies, because it has 1,000,000 coins.
12.2 Payment. Stripe takes your card payment; we never see your card number. When you place the order, your coins are set aside and your payment is authorized. We charge it when we send the order to the printer.
12.3 Cancelling. You can cancel until we send the order to the printer. Then your coins are released and your payment is cancelled or refunded in full. After that, you can ask to cancel, and we cancel only if the printer agrees. Once the order ships, it can't be cancelled.
12.4 The point of no return. When your printed card ships, the coins you traded in are burned: destroyed on the blockchain for good. Nothing restores them, and they are never refunded.
12.5 Shipping. We ship to the addresses the order page accepts. Delivery times are estimates. Check your address: a card sent to the address you gave counts as delivered to you. Import duties or taxes your country charges are yours unless the order page says they are included.
12.6 Damaged, wrong, or lost. Each printed card is made to order, so we don't take returns for a change of mind. If your card arrives damaged or misprinted, or never arrives, tell us at support@veledah.com within 30 days of delivery (or of the latest estimated delivery date). We send a replacement or refund the printing and shipping price. The coins stay burned.
12.7 The printed card is yours. Its art, design, and the Listed Person's likeness are not: you may keep, show, give, or sell the printed card, but not copy it or use the art or likeness for anything else.
12.8 If a Card is closed, paused, or removed, we may stop new trade-ins for it. Orders already sent to the printer are finished unless the law requires otherwise.
13.1 A coin's price can fall to zero, and there may be no one to sell to. Prices on the Service are what collectors last paid, nothing more.
13.2 USDC depends on Circle. If USDC loses its link to the dollar, or Circle stops honoring it, its value can fall.
13.3 We hold your coins and USDC. If veledah failed or were hacked, getting them back could take time, and you could lose some or all of them.
13.4 Blockchains can be slow, congested, or changed by their developers, and transfers can't be reversed. The law on coins and digital dollars is changing and may limit what we can offer, or where.
14.1 We may pause drops, trading, deposits, withdrawals, or trade-ins, on one Card or on the whole Service, to protect people, to fix a problem, or to follow the law. Where we can, we tell you why and for how long.
14.2 Our ledger is the record of what you hold. We never edit past entries. If a clear error gave you coins or USDC that weren't yours, we correct it with a new entry and tell you. You must not use what an error gave you.
14.3 We may freeze an account while we look into fraud, a broken rule, or a legal request. While frozen, it can't trade, bid, withdraw, or trade in. If the law requires, we may hold or hand over what is in it.
15.1 You are responsible for your own taxes on what you buy, sell, earn, or trade in. We may ask for tax information and report to tax authorities as the law requires. Your trades, deposits, withdrawals, and orders are in your history on the Service.
16.1 Don't, and don't help anyone else: (a) open or verify an account with a false, borrowed, or duplicate identity, or run more than one account; (b) list anyone other than yourself, or pass yourself off as another person; (c) trade with yourself, trade with accounts you work with to fake prices or volume, place orders you don't mean to fill, or try to move a price by any trick; (d) get around the 10% limit, the locks on a Listed Person's coins, or any other limit; (e) use the Service for money laundering, fraud, or to move money for anyone else; (f) harass, threaten, stalk, defame, or abuse anyone, on or off the Service, in connection with it; (g) post content that infringes someone's rights, sexualizes minors, or is otherwise illegal; (h) scrape the Service or use bots, except as we allow in writing; (i) reverse engineer the Service, except where the law allows it; (j) probe, scan, or get around our security or access controls; (k) sell, rent, or transfer accounts, Cards, or tickers; or (l) break any law using the Service.
16.2 No deceptive claims. We don't check what Listed Persons say. But no one may post, or knowingly spread, a statement of fact on the Service that they know is false or misleading, least of all to move a coin's price.
16.3 No eligibility use. You may not use the Service or its data to decide anyone's eligibility for a job, credit, housing, insurance, education, or anything else covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or a similar law.
16.4 We may investigate breaches of this section, cancel orders, remove content, pause or close Cards, and suspend or end accounts.
17.1 "Your Content" is anything you put on the Service: your profile, photo, links, updates, corrections, and ticker. You keep ownership of it.
17.2 You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, show, print, and adapt (for format only) Your Content to run and improve the Service. We may pass this license to the vendors who run the Service for us. Updates and corrections stay on the public record after they lock (section 6.5), and card art stays on the printed cards ordered with it (section 6.4), so the license for them lasts as long as that record and those cards.
17.3 You promise you have the rights to Your Content and that it breaks no law and no one else's rights.
17.4 We may remove any content that breaks these Terms or the law.
18.1 Report a Card, an impersonation, or a use of your likeness on our help page. We review every report. We remove a Card that is not the person it shows.
18.2 Copyright notices (DMCA). If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send our designated agent (section 18.5) a notice with: your physical or electronic signature; the work you say is infringed; the content and where it is on the Service; your name, address, phone number, and email; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)).
18.3 Counter-notices. If we remove your content after a notice and you believe that was a mistake, you can send our agent a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). We may restore the content 10 to 14 business days later unless the person who complained tells us they have gone to court.
18.4 Repeat infringers. We end the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe.
18.5 Designated agent. Copyright Agent, Veledah, Inc., c/o Northwest Registered Agent, Inc., 2108 N St Ste N, Sacramento, CA 95816. Email: legal@veledah.com.
19.1 The Service, its software, design, card templates, text, and the veledah name and marks belong to us or our licensors. These Terms give you no rights in them except to use the Service.
19.2 We give you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service as intended. We keep all other rights.
THE SERVICE, COINS, AND PRINTED CARDS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DON'T PROMISE THAT A COIN WILL HAVE ANY PRICE OR BUYER, OR THAT ANYTHING A LISTED PERSON OR OTHER USER POSTS IS TRUE. NOTHING HERE LIMITS SECTION 12.6.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR REPUTATION, OR FOR CHANGES IN THE PRICE OF ANY COIN OR OF USDC, ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, ON ANY THEORY.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF US$100 AND THE FEES AND PRINTING AND SHIPPING PRICES YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. THIS LIMIT NEVER REDUCES YOUR RIGHT TO THE USDC AND COINS OUR RECORDS SHOW ARE YOURS.
SOME PLACES DON'T ALLOW THESE LIMITS, SO SOME MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING HERE LIMITS LIABILITY THAT THE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW TO BE LIMITED.
22.1 You will defend and cover us, our officers, directors, employees, and agents against claims, losses, and costs (including reasonable lawyers' fees) arising from your use of the Service, Your Content, your breach of these Terms, or your breach of the law or of anyone's rights.
23.1 We may suspend or end your access, or close a Card, if you break these Terms, a check fails or is withdrawn, the law requires it, or there is a risk of harm to anyone or to the Service. Where we can, we tell you why.
23.2 You can stop using the Service and close your account at any time. Before you close it, cancel your open orders, sell or trade in your coins, and withdraw your USDC.
23.3 If your account ends with coins or USDC in it, they stay yours. Unless the law forbids it, we let you withdraw the USDC to a wallet you proved and sell the coins, or we pay them out as the law on unclaimed property requires.
23.4 Sections 3.3, 6.2, 6.4, 7.4, 12.4, 14.2, 15, 17.2, 19 to 22, 23.3, 23.4, and 26 to 28 survive the end of these Terms.
24.1 We may change, pause, or stop any part of the Service. If we stop trading for good, we give you at least 30 days' notice to sell, trade in, and withdraw, unless the law requires a shorter time.
24.2 We may change these Terms. For a material change we tell you by email or on the Service before it takes effect, and we may ask you to accept the new Terms before you continue. A change to fees or limits never applies to an order or trade-in already placed. The date at the top shows the current version.
25.1 You agree to get these Terms, notices, receipts, and records from us electronically, by email or on the Service.
26.1 California law governs these Terms and any dispute about them or the Service, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
27.1 Talk to us first. Before filing a claim, email legal@veledah.com and try in good faith to settle it for at least 30 days.
27.2 Arbitration. Except as section 27.4 says, any dispute about these Terms or the Service will be settled by final, binding, individual arbitration run by JAMS under its rules for consumer arbitrations, before one arbitrator, in San Francisco, California, or by video. We pay the fees that JAMS's consumer minimum standards assign to the business. YOU AND VELEDAH EACH GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
27.3 No class actions. CLAIMS MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY INDIVIDUALLY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this section is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim goes to the courts in section 27.4.
27.4 Exceptions and courts. Either side may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either side may ask a court to stop misuse of intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service. Nothing here waives a claim for public injunctive relief; a court decides that claim after any arbitration of the individual claims. Claims not arbitrated go only to the state or federal courts in San Francisco County, California.
27.5 Opting out. You can opt out of sections 27.2 and 27.3 by emailing legal@veledah.com within 30 days of first accepting this version of the Terms, with your name, your @handle, and that you opt out. We confirm by reply.
28.1 If part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a right, we haven't waived it.
28.2 You may not transfer these Terms. We may transfer them in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or by law.
28.3 These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the terms you accept for a drop or an order are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service.
28.4 We send notices to the email on your account. Send notices to us at legal@veledah.com or by mail to Veledah, Inc., c/o Northwest Registered Agent, Inc., 2108 N St Ste N, Sacramento, CA 95816. Questions about an order go to support@veledah.com.
