RWAmarket.place is a platform and set of services (collectively, the “Platform” or “Services”) operated by Maritime DAO LLC, a Marshall Islands entity (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
Overview
These Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Platform and Services. If you are using the Platform on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity.
Acceptance & Eligibility
By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
You must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction (whichever is higher) to use the Platform. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Platform is permitted under the laws of your jurisdiction.
Key Policies
The following policies are incorporated by reference and form part of these Terms:
If any conflict arises between these Terms and a policy above, these Terms control to the extent of the conflict unless the policy expressly states otherwise.
Accounts
To access certain features, you must create an account and provide accurate, current, and complete information. You agree to maintain and promptly update your information as needed.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities under your account. If you suspect unauthorized access or credential compromise, notify us immediately at welcome@maritimedao.com.
We may require identity verification (KYC/AML) to access or continue using certain Services.
KYC/AML & Sanctions
To comply with anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF), and sanctions requirements, we may collect, verify, and monitor information about you and your use of the Services on an ongoing basis. We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access if you do not complete required checks or if we determine, in our discretion, that use would be non-compliant with applicable laws or our risk policies.
You warrant that you are not subject to, located in, or ordinarily resident in any jurisdiction or on any list where we are legally prohibited from providing the Services, and that you will not use the Services to benefit any such person or jurisdiction.
Services
The Platform is an intermediary technology platform facilitating compliant listing, purchase, and custody interactions for RWA-backed NFTs and associated utility features. We are not a broker-dealer, exchange, investment adviser, custodian, or escrow agent unless expressly stated. No part of the Services constitutes legal, investment, accounting, or tax advice.
We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any Service (in whole or part) at any time with or without notice, subject to applicable law.
Fees & Gas
Fees may apply to certain Services and may change from time to time. Any applicable fees will be disclosed within the Platform or at the point of transaction.
Blockchain Gas Fees are separate network fees required to process transactions on the relevant blockchain and are outside our control. You are solely responsible for paying Gas Fees.
Prohibited Uses
You may not, and you agree not to enable or facilitate others to:
- Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any law, regulation, sanctions, or export controls.
- Infringe or misappropriate intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person.
- Engage in abuse, harassment, fraud, deception, scams, or other harmful conduct.
- Manipulate markets, wash trade, spoof, or otherwise distort prices or demand.
- Bypass, interfere with, or disrupt Platform security, rate limits, or integrity controls.
- Upload malicious code, bots, scrapers, or attempt to reverse engineer the Platform.
- Violate the Community Guidelines or these Terms.
We may monitor use and take action, including suspension or termination, where we believe a violation has occurred.
Intellectual Property
All rights, title, and interest in and to the Platform, including software, interfaces, designs, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks (“Platform IP”), are owned by the Company or its licensors and are protected by law. Except for a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to access and use the Services as permitted by these Terms, no rights are granted, and all rights are reserved.
User Content
If you upload or submit content, you represent that you have all necessary rights. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and use your content solely to operate and improve the Services. We may remove or disable content that we believe violates law, these Terms, or our policies.
Blockchain & Market Risks
Transactions involving NFTs and blockchain networks involve risks, including volatility, loss of value, smart-contract errors, irreversible transactions, network congestion or forks, and loss of credentials or access. You are solely responsible for your decisions and for implementing appropriate security measures (e.g., hardware wallets, secure backups).
We do not control underlying blockchains, third-party wallets, or external marketplaces and are not responsible for their performance, availability, or security.
No Warranty
The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will the Company or its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to us for the Services in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability; in such cases, these limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted.
Additional limitations or disclosures may be provided on site-wide legal pages at rwamarket.place/legal, which are incorporated by reference.
Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal and accounting fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Services or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
Suspension & Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, including where required for compliance, risk, security, or policy reasons, or if you violate these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases immediately.
Governing Law & Disputes
Non-US Users
For users who are not residents of the United States, these Terms and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Marshall Islands, except where mandatory consumer law requires otherwise.
US Residents — Binding Arbitration; Class Action & Jury Waiver
If you are a resident of the United States, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.
No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and the Company agree that each may bring claims only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Jury Trial Waiver. You and the Company waive any right to a jury trial.
You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending an email to welcome@maritimedao.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” and your full name and the email address associated with your account.
Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice (e.g., by posting the updated Terms on the Platform and updating the “Last updated” date). Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Miscellaneous
- Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the policies incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services.
- Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
- No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of such right or provision.
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
- Force Majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
