Last updated: Feb 11, 2022

1. Basic Upside Administration Services.

1.1. Eligibility. To be eligible to use the Upside Administration Services, you must be at least 18 years old.

1.2. Upside Administration Services. Your Upside account ("Upside Account") encompasses the following basic Upside services: One or more Upside platform or bespoke administrative software applications ("Administrative Applications") that programmatically facilitate the administration of the distribution of awards ("Coin Award Transactions") of cryptographic assets (e.g., digital coins, collectibles, tokens or other assets) (collectively, "Coins") by project creators ("Project Creators") to project contributors ("Project Contributors," which, in this contract, are referred to collectively with "Project Creators" as "users" and "you") and the creation, dissemination, contribution to projects, and associated distribution, hosting and sharing of information and other materials relating to projects and the tracking and verification of performed tasks, and verification, monitoring and management of Coin Award Transactions (collectively the "Upside Administration Services").

1.3. Upside's Status as an Administrative Software Developer and Provider. You acknowledge and agree that Upside is and at all times will be functioning purely in the capacity as software developer of Administrative Applications and a software as a service provider of Administrative Applications and shall in no event be the seller, issuer, distributor, creator or vendor of Coins. You further acknowledge and agree that Upside is authorized and instructed to rely upon the information it receives from third parties, including Project Creators and Project Contributors, including information relating to legal and regulatory compliance. Projects Creators and Project Contributors hereby represent and warrant compliance with applicable law with respect to transactions in Coins. Upside shall have no responsibility to review, confirm or otherwise assume any duty with respect to regulatory or legal compliance with respect to the underlying transactions in Coins, the Coins themselves or the accuracy or completeness of any data supplied to it by or on behalf of any third parties. Both Project Creators and Project Contributors acknowledge the often negligible and highly speculative value of Coins and the substantial risk that Coins may never have any value or may subsequently suffer a total loss of all value.** In no event shall Upside have any liability for any losses or liabilities of any kind associated with or arising from awarding, obtaining or holding Coins. You should therefore carefully consider whether awarding, obtaining or holding Coins is suitable for you in light of your risk tolerance and financial condition.**

2. Creating an Upside Account, Projects and Organization.

2.1. Registration of Upside Account. In order to use certain of the Upside Administration Services, including the distribution, receipt or participation in Coin Award Transactions, you must register by providing your name, an e-mail address, password, and affirm your acceptance of this Agreement. Upside may, in our sole discretion, refuse to allow you to establish a Upside Account, or limit the number of Upside Accounts that a single user may establish and maintain at any time.

2.2. Identity Verification. In order to use certain features of the Upside Administration Services, you may be required to provide Upside with certain personal information, including, but not limited to, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, date of birth, taxpayer identification number, government identification number, and information regarding your bank account (e.g., financial institution, account type, routing number, and account number). In submitting this or any other personal information as may be required, you verify that the information is accurate and authentic, and you agree to update Upside if any information changes. You hereby authorize Upside to, directly or through third parties make any inquiries we consider necessary to verify your identity and/or protect against fraud, including to query identity information contained in public reports (e.g., your name, address, past addresses, or date of birth), to query account information associated with your linked bank account (e.g., name or account balance), and to take action we reasonably deem necessary based on the results of such inquiries and reports. You further authorize any and all third parties to which such inquiries or requests may be directed to fully respond to such inquiries or requests. This includes authorizing your wireless operator (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Verizon, or any other branded wireless operator) to use your mobile number, name, address, email, network status, customer type, customer role, billing type, mobile device identifiers (IMSI and IMEI) and other subscriber status details, if available, solely to allow verification of your identity and to compare information you have provided to Upside with your wireless operator account profile information for the duration of the business relationship. See our Privacy Policy to learn more about how we treat your data.

2.3 Project Creation. Project Creators may use the Upside Site to create projects and project pages ("Projects") on which they describe the project tasks, deliverables, services, and associated terms of completion ("Tasks") and propose Coin Award Transactions for administration through the Upside Administration Services. Upon creation, Projects and Tasks will be in a pending state while Upside reviews and analyzes the Projects and Tasks and completes any needed identity verification and determines any required technical specification or software development work that needs to be performed in connection with developing Administrative Applications suited for the Projects and the Coin that is sought to be awarded by Project Contributors in Coin Award Transactions and prepares the Order Form. During the pending state period, functionality of Upside Administration Services may be limited in Upside's sole discretion, and Coin Award Transactions will not be enabled. After Upside has reviewed the Projects and Tasks proposed for administration, Upside may, in its sole and absolute discretion: (i) accept the Projects and the Tasks, quote applicable fees to the Project Creator on the Order Form, and enable Upside Administration Services functionality following the Project Creator's acceptance of the Order Form; (ii) inform Project Creators of what revisions to the Projects or Tasks are required or of any additional information or work needs to be performed prior to enabling Upside Administration Services and preparing an Order Form; or (iii) inform Project Creators that their Projects and/or Tasks has not been approved for Upside Administration Services.

2.3 Project Contribution. Project Contributors may use the Upside Site to contribute to Projects by proposing their performance of Tasks pursuant to terms specified by Project Creators in exchange for specified Coin Award Transactions administered through the Upside Administration Services. Upon indication of the proposed performance of a Task by Project Contributors, the Tasks proposed to be performed will be in a pending state while the Project Creator reviews the proposed contribution and the Project Contributors who have proposed and offered to perform the Tasks, and, if necessary, Upside reviews and analyzes any needed identity verification or performs additional diligence. During the pending state period, functionality of Upside Administration Services may be limited and Coin Award Transactions will not be enabled. Project Contributors' offers to complete Tasks will be able accepted and Tasks created by Project Creators will be performable by Project Contributors in exchange for Coin Award Transactions (administered through Upside Administrative Services) after the Project Creator has reviewed and accepted the proposed Project Contributor's proposed offer to complete of a Task.

3. Administrative Applications.

3.1. In General. The Administrative Applications allow Project Creators to send their own Coin to Project Contributors and various other administrative functionality, including viewing, tabulating, reporting, requesting, and receiving supported Coins from third parties pursuant to instructions Project Creators and Project Contributors provide through the Upside Site (each such transaction is a "Coin Award Transaction"). Upside reserves the right, to the maximum extent technically possible, to limit and/or disable Administrative Applications or use of such Administrative Applications as required by law or in response to a subpoena, court order, or other binding government order or to enforce transaction limits, but Upside cannot reverse a Coin Award Transaction which has been effected on any Coin network's cryptographic blockchain. Upside is further limited in its ability to refuse to process transactions because it does not maintain custody or control of Coins awarded though its Administrative Applications (through the storage of private keys or otherwise), and Upside only enables the user-directed use of programmatic Administrative Applications. The Administrative Applications services are available only in connection with those Coins and projects that Upside, in its sole discretion, decides to support. The Coins that Upside supports may change from time to time and are the decision of whether to support the administration of certain Coins is made on the basis of a multi-factor tests, including an evaluation of the Project Creators, the proposed Coin and an evaluation of facts and circumstances relating to the expected distribution of the expected Coin Award Transactions. Under no circumstances should you attempt to use the Administrative Applications services to store, send, request, or receive Coins in any form that are not supported by Upside. Upside assumes no responsibility or liability in connection with any attempt to use Upside Administration Services for Coins or Coin Award Transactions that Upside does not support.

3.2. Coin Award Transactions. Upside Administrative Applications process supported Coin Award Transactions according to the instructions received from its users, and Upside does not guarantee the identity of any user, receiver, requestee or other party. You should verify all transaction information prior to submitting instructions to Upside Administrative Applications. Upside reserves the right to attempt to delay or disable any Coin Award Transaction if it perceives a risk of fraud or illegal activity.

3.3. Transmission Delays. Neither Upside nor Upside Administrative Applications store the private keys of Coins. As a result, it may be necessary for Upside to retrieve certain information from you or for you to supply additional information through the Administrative Applications in order to facilitate a Coin Award Transaction in accordance with your instructions, which may delay the initiation or crediting of such Coin Award Transaction. You acknowledge and agree that a Coin Award Transaction facilitated by Upside Administrative Applications may be delayed.

3.4. Third Party Contributions. Upside has no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you may purchase or sell to or from a third party (including any service performed or deliverables delivered in connection with Tasks performed by Project Contributors and Projects and in connection with Tasks created by Project Creators other actions taken by users of Upside Administration Services). Upside is not responsible for ensuring that a service provider or buyer or a seller you may transact with will actually complete the transaction or is authorized to do so. If you experience a problem with any goods or services in connection with Coin Award Transaction administered using the Upside Administration Services, or if you have a dispute with such third party, you must resolve the dispute directly with that third party. If you believe a third party has behaved in a fraudulent, misleading, or inappropriate manner, or if you cannot adequately resolve a dispute with a third party, you may notify Upside Support support@Upside.com so that we may consider what action to take, if any.

3.5. Customized Upside Account Page; User Content. Upside may permit a user to establish a customizable Project Creator or Project Contributor page ("Account Page") which will allow others to easily view Projects, Tasks or administer Coin Award Transactions to and from your Upside Account. The Account Page may allow you to establish a user handle and associated Account Page URL, upload a photo, and provide a short description. In establishing your Account Page and uploading or adding any text, photo, or other material to any part of the Upside Site, you agree that you will not (i) post misleading materials or misappropriate the identity of another person or entity, (ii) post any copyrighted material which you are not authorized to post, or (iii) post any profane, defamatory, unlawful, or offensive materials. Upside, in its sole discretion, may disable your Account Page and take other action in accordance with this Agreement if we believe you are in violation of the foregoing or abusing this service. Upside may reclaim user handles associated with dormant Upside Accounts. Upside does not guarantee or endorse the purported identity, message, or other information posted by a user to the user's Account Page. While using the Site, users may post photos, videos, text, graphics, logos artwork and other audio or visual materials (collectively, "User Content"). Users grant Upside a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, publicly display, publicly perform, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, and distribute User Content of any user on or in connection with the Upside Administrative Services or any other services offered by the site and our related marketing and promotional activities. As between users and Upside, users continue to hold all ownership interest in their User Content. Users represents and warrants that its User Content and our use of such User Content will not infringe any third party's intellectual property rights, proprietary rights, privacy rights, confidentiality, rights of publicity or otherwise violate these this contract or applicable law.

Unless specifically agreed otherwise, we do not support metacoins, colored coins, side chains, or other derivative, enhanced, or forked protocols, tokens, or coins which supplement or interact with a Coins and Coin Award Transactions supported by Upside (collectively, "Advanced Protocols"). Do not use your Upside Account or to receive, request, send, store, or engage in any other type of transaction involving an Advanced Protocol. The Upside platform is not configured to detect and/or secure Advanced Protocol transactions and Upside assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever in respect to Advanced Protocols.

3.7 Operation of Coin Protocols. Upside does not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of Coins supported by our Upside Administration Services. In many cases, the underlying protocols are open source and anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute them. By using the Upside, you acknowledge and agree (i) that Upside is not responsible for operation of the underlying protocols and that Upside makes no guarantee of their functionality, security, or availability; and (ii) that the underlying protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules (a/k/a "forks"), and that such forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or even the name of the Coins and Coin Award Transactions you send or receive on the Upside platform. In the event of a fork, you agree that Upside may temporarily suspend Upside operations and Upside Administrative Services (with or without advance notice to you) and that Upside may, in its sole discretion, in consultation with Project Creators, decide whether or not to support (or cease supporting) either branch of the forked protocol entirely. You acknowledge and agree that Upside assumes absolutely no responsibility whatsoever in respect of an unsupported branch of a forked protocol.

4. Fees.

4.1. Fees. You may be subject to a recurring monthly or annual fee for hosting services ("Hosting Services Fee") or for other services  (a “Services Fee”) (each a “Fee” and together the “Fees”). Fees will be stated at the time of your purchase or sign-up, as applicable.  Fees may be subject to tax, collected by Upside or a third party through which you transact, and are non-refundable.  Upside only accepts credit cards for payment of Fees.

Upside may waive some portion or all of the Fees depending on the payment method selected and in its sole discretion. Upside reserves the right to adjust its Fees and issue any applicable waivers at any time. We will always notify you of the Fees which apply to you. Upside may increase or add new fees and charges for any existing Services you are using by giving you at least 30 days' prior notice and may elect to charge you interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) on all late payments. You can check your current Fees by contacting support@Upside.com.

4.2. Reversals; Cancellations. You cannot cancel, reverse, or change any transaction marked as complete or pending. If your payment is not successful or if your payment method has insufficient funds, you authorize Upside, in its sole discretion, either to cancel the transaction or to debit your other payment methods, including Upside balances or other potentially linked accounts, in any amount necessary to complete the transaction. You are responsible for maintaining an adequate balance and/or sufficient credit limits in order to avoid overdraft, NSF, or similar fees charged by your payment provider. Upside reserves the right to refuse to process, or to cancel or reverse, any Token Transaction in its sole discretion, even after funds have been debited from your account(s), if Upside suspects the transaction involves (or has a high risk of involvement in) money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other type of financial crime; in response to a subpoena, court order, or other government order; if Upside reasonably suspects that the Token Transactions is erroneous; or if Upside suspects the transaction relates to Prohibited Use or a Prohibited Business as set forth below. In such instances, Upside will reverse the transaction and we are under no obligation to allow you to reinstate Token Transaction on the same terms as the canceled transaction.

4.3. Recurring Transactions. If you initiate a recurring transaction for your Fees, you authorize Upside to initiate recurring electronic payments in accordance with your selected corresponding payment accounts or method, including but not limited to recurring automated clearing house (ACH) debit or credit entries from or to your linked bank account. Your recurring transactions will occur in identical, periodic installments, based on your period selection (e.g.monthly), until either you or Upside cancels the recurring order. If you select a U.S. Bank Account as your payment method for a recurring transaction, and such transaction falls on a weekend or holiday, or after bank business hours, the ACH credit or debit will be executed on the next business day. If your Bank is unable to process any electronic ACH debit entry, Upside will notify you of cancellation of the transaction and may avail itself of remedies set forth in this User Agreement to recover any amount owed to Upside. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until you change your recurring transaction settings on your account settings page or until you provide us written notification at support@Upside.com. You agree to notify Upside in writing of any changes in your linked bank account information prior to a recurring transaction. Upside may, at any time, terminate recurring transactions by providing notice to you.

If you select to use a credit card to pay a recurring payment of your Fees, unless you notify us before a charge that you want to cancel or do not want to automatically renew your membership or subscription, you understand it will automatically continue and you authorize us, or a third party through which you transact (without notice to you, unless required by applicable law) to collect the then-applicable fees and any taxes, using any credit card we have on record for you.

If all credit cards we have on file for you are declined for payment of your membership or subscription fees, we may cancel your Upside Account or subscription, as applicable, unless you provide us with a new credit card. If you provide us with a new credit card and are successfully charged before your Upside Account or subscription is canceled, your new Upside Account or subscription period will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge.

4.4. Payment Services Partners. Upside may use a third party payment processor to process any payment between you and Upside, including but not limited to payments in relation to your deposits or withdrawals.
