The Drop Dimes App is a visual interface through which users may interact with the Base blockchain using a self-custodial Wallet to send and receive USDC.

SZL DOES NOT CONTROL YOUR WALLET OR HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR PRIVATE KEY. SZL CANNOT RECOVER YOUR PRIVATE KEY IF LOST.
Please note that these terms are subject to change by SZL. We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of the Terms of Service. Any changes to these Terms will be effective immediately. Your continued use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

5. USER CONTENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
(a) Types of Content. You acknowledge that all Content, including the Services, is the sole responsibility of the party from whom such Content originated. This means that each Registered User of the Services, and not SZL, is responsible for such Registered User's User Content. You represent and warrant to and for the benefit of SZL that you have all rights necessary in and to any User Content you make available on the Services to grant the licenses granted in this section.
(b) The Services. Except with respect to any OSS, your Wallet, and any User Content that you make available, you agree that SZL owns all rights, title and interest in and to the Services. You will not remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying any Services.
(c) Trademarks. SZL, and all related graphics, logos, service marks and trade names used on or in connection with any the Services or in connection with the Services are the trademarks of SZL and may not be used without permission in connection with your, or any third-party, products or services. Other trademarks, service marks and trade names that may appear on or in the Services are the property of their respective owners.
(d) Your User Content. SZL does not claim ownership of your User Content. However, when you as a Registered User posts your User Content on the Services, you represent that you own and/or have, and have all rights necessary to grant to SZL and do hereby grant to SZL, a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive right (including any moral rights) and license to use and display your User Content in connection with the Services.
6. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND WALLETS
(a) Third-Party Services. The Services may contain or in some cases, integrate with our Services, certain Third-Party Services. Such Third-Party Services are not under the control of SZL. SZL is not responsible for any Third-Party Services. SZL provides these Third-Party Services only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Services, or any product or service provided in connection therewith. You use all links in Third-Party Services at your own risk. You should review applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third-Party Services including any Wallet, offramp and onramp, and make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party.
(b) Wallets. In connection with certain features of the Services you will need to create and/or connect a Wallet owned or controlled by you. Access to and use of a Wallet is subject to additional terms and conditions between you and the provider of such Wallet. We disclaim all liability in connection with your use of a Wallet, including without limitation any inability to access any User Assets you have sent to or stored in such Wallet. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND SZL DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO USE OF SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICES. Access to your Wallet may require the use of a private key, passphrase, or passkey ("Private Key") and SZL has no ability to access your Private Key. Your Private Key is unique to you and shall be maintained by you. If you lose your Private Key, you may lose access to your Wallet and any contents thereof. SZL does not have the ability to recover a lost Private Key.
(c) Transfers of User Assets. Users must personally review and authorize all transaction messages that the User wishes to execute; this requires the User to sign the relevant transaction message with the User's Private Key via their Wallet. SZL and the Services are not agents or intermediaries of the User, do not store or have access to or control over any User Assets, private keys, passwords, passkeys, accounts or other property of the User, and are not capable of performing transactions or sending transaction messages on behalf of the User. All transactions are effected by the User via the Wallet.
7. FEES, PAYMENT AND TAXES
(a) Gas Fees. To the extent applicable in connection with a particular Service, you will be solely responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient User Assets in your Wallet to cover any Gas Fee required to complete any transaction. "Gas Fees" are transaction fees determined by market conditions on the applicable protocol, and are not determined, set, or charged by SZL. By using a Coinbase Smart Wallet, Coinbase currently covers Gas Fees for USDC transactions on the Base blockchain, but SZL has no assurance that this program will continue.
(b) Taxes. You are solely responsible (and SZL has no responsibility) for determining what, if any, taxes apply to any transactions involving your User Assets, including without limmitation your receipt of dime drops from other Users. You are responsible for all federal, state, local, sales, use, value added, excise, or other taxes, fees, or duties arising out of your use of the Services.
(c) Payment Service Provider. The App connects the user to third-party service providers for payment services (e.g., Digital Asset onramps and Digital Asset offramps and related services) (each, a "Payment Service Provider"). Please note that online payment transactions may be subject to validation checks by the Payment Service Provider and your card issuer, and we are not responsible if your card issuer declines to authorize payment for any reason. For your protection, Payment Service Providers uses various fraud prevention protocols and industry standard verification systems to reduce fraud, and you authorize it to verify and authenticate your payment information. Your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. We are not responsible for this. We may add or change Payment Service Providers at any time in our sole discretion. You are free to onramp funds to your Wallet or offramp funds from your Wallet outside of the Services using whichever payment service provider you choose.
8. ASSUMPTION OF RISK RELATED TO BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
In order to be successfully completed, any transaction involving Digital Assets initiated by or sent to your Wallet must be confirmed by and recorded on the blockchain supporting such Digital Asset. SZL has no control over any blockchain and therefore cannot and does not ensure that any transaction details that you submit or receive via our Services will be validated by or confirmed on the relevant blockchain and does not have the ability to facilitate any cancellation or modification requests. You accept and acknowledge that you take full responsibility for all activities that you effect through your Wallet and accept all risks of loss, including loss as a result of any authorized or unauthorized access to your Wallet, to the maximum extent permitted by law. You further accept and acknowledge that:
(a) You (i) have the necessary technical expertise and ability to review and evaluate the security, integrity and operation of your Wallet; (ii) have the knowledge, experience, understanding, professional advice and information to make your own evaluation of the merits, risks and applicable compliance requirements under applicable laws of any use of your Wallet; (iii) know, understand and accept the risks associated with your Wallet; and (iv) accept the risks associated with blockchain technology generally, and are responsible for conducting your own independent analysis of the risks specific to any Digital Assets you purchase or sell. You further agree that SZL will have no responsibility or liability for, such risks.
(b) USDC's price versus the dollar may change and its collateralization level might change. SZL DOES NOT CREATE, OFFER, PROMOTE, OR OTHERWISE HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR USDC, ITS COLLATERALIZATION AND ITS ACTUAL PRICE RELATED TO THE DOLLAR. YOU HOLD USDC IN YOUR WALLET AT YOUR OWN RISK.
(c) You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your transactions of Digital Assets including sending or receiving dime drops. SZL is not responsible for determining the taxes that apply to Digital Asset transactions.
(d) The App does not store, send, or receive Digital Assets. This is because Digital Assets exist only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on its supporting blockchain, and so any transfer of Digital Assets occurs within the supporting blockchain and not in the Services. The transaction details you submit via the Services may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, as a result of activity or lack thereof on the blockchain used to process the transaction. Once transaction details have been submitted through your Wallet, SZL cannot assist you to cancel or otherwise modify your transaction or transaction details. SZL makes no warranties or guarantees that a transfer initiated on the Services will successfully transfer title or right in any Digital Asset.
(e) TRANSACTIONS ON THE BLOCKCHAIN ARE IRREVERSIBLE AND IF YOU SEND DIGITAL ASSETS TO AN INCORRECT ADDRESS, OR SEND THE WRONG AMOUNT, SUCH ASSETS MAY BE IRRECOVERABLE.
(f) SZL HAS NO CONTROL OVER, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING, THE SECURITY, FUNCTIONALITY, OR AVAILABILITY OF ANY WALLET.
(g) THE SECURITY OF YOUR WALLET IS ENTIRELY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
(h) PRIVATE KEYS TO YOUR WALLET CANNOT BE RECOVERED BY SZL.
(i) SZL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF YOUR WALLET OR THE THEFT, LOSS, OR DESTRUCTION OF YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS.
(j) YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ALL TRANSACTIONS CONDUCTED THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE PUBLIC, NOT PRIVATE. RECORDS OF YOUR TRANSACTIONS, INCLUDING THE SENDER ADDRESS, RECIPIENT ADDRESS, TRANSACTION AMOUNT, AND TIMESTAMP, ARE PERMANENTLY RECORDED ON THE BASE BLOCKCHAIN AND VISIBLE TO ANYONE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IDENTIFYING INFORMATION MAY BE INFERRED OR DETERMINED FROM YOUR PUBLIC TRANSACTION HISTORY AND THE WALLET ADDRESSES YOU INTERACT WITH. SZL HAS NO ABILITY TO MAKE ANY BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTION PRIVATE OR TO ERASE ANY TRANSACTION ONCE IT HAS BEEN RECORDED ON THE BLOCKCHAIN. IN ADDITION, THE NATURE OF THE SERVICES IS TO SHOW ON THE APP, THE FLOW OF TRANSACTIONS TO CREATORS FROM USERS. YOU HAVE NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS MADE USING THE SERVICES.
9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS
(a) As is. YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK, AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS.

THE SERVICES MAY BE SUBJECT TO DELAYS, CANCELLATIONS AND OTHER DISRUPTIONS. SZL MAKES NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION OR CONDITION WITH RESPECT TO SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE QUALITY, EFFECTIVENESS AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF SERVICES. NO STATEMENT OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM SZL OR THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE HEREIN.
(b) No Liability for Conduct of Third Parties. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SZL PARTIES ARE NOT LIABLE, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO HOLD SZL PARTIES LIABLE, FOR THE CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING OPERATORS OF EXTERNAL SITES OR WALLETS, AND THAT THE RISK OF INJURY FROM SUCH THIRD PARTIES RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU. SZL MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE GOODS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS. SZL MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE QUALITY OF ANY SUCH GOODS OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES.
(c) SZL IS NOT AN INVESTMENT OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR OR MONEY TRANSMITTER. SZL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSSES RESULTING FROM USE OF THE THIRD PARTY SERVICES OR ANY WALLET.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND RELEASE
(a) TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SZL BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF SZL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall SZL's total liability to you for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00). The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.
(b) Release. To the maximum extent permissible by applicable law, you hereby release SZL Parties and their successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, that is either directly or indirectly related to or arises from your use of the Services, including but not limited to, any interactions with or conduct of other Registered Users or Third Party Services of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of these Terms or your use of the Services. To the maximum extent permissible by applicable law, you waive and relinquish any and all rights and benefits otherwise conferred by any statutory or non-statutory law of any jurisdiction that would purport to limit the scope of a release or waiver, including any and all rights and benefits which you have or may have under California Civil Code Section 1542 or any similar law or code in your jurisdiction, which states in substance "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT OT EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASEE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY."

Without limiting the foregoing, SZL shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to remove any of your User Content for any reason (or no reason), including if such Content violates these Terms or any applicable law. If SZL becomes aware of any possible violations by you of any provision of these Terms, SZL reserves the right to investigate such violations, and SZL may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate your use of the Services, or change, alter or remove your User Content, in whole or in part, without prior notice to you.
