Terms of use

What this is

Donut Coin (“DONUT”) is a hobby project: software, a small blockchain and this website, run by a private individual for amusement. DONUT is not money, not a security, not a commodity, not a token of anything, and it has no value. Nothing on this site offers to sell DONUT, and nothing here should be read as an offer, an investment opportunity or financial, legal or tax advice.

Using it

• A transaction may carry a note of up to 280 characters. You are the author of anything you post and responsible for it. Notes are public and permanent: they cannot be edited or removed by you, by us or by anyone, so do not post personal information, anything you do not have the right to publish, or anything unlawful. Posting requires a licence earned by mining, a balance of at least a Ribbon, a @username and a fee, as the white paper describes. The site shows only notes from named authors and may stop displaying any note at its sole discretion; that does not remove it from the chain, which nobody can do.
• You may run the software, mine, hold and send DONUT, hold a site account, use the market and read the explorer, at your own risk and your own expense (electricity, hardware and payment-app fees included).
• The software is provided as is, with no warranty of any kind. The downloads are not signed by Apple or Microsoft and have had no independent security review. The chain may be reset, forked, rewritten within its rules, pinned by a checkpoint, or abandoned at any time without notice, and anything on it may lose whatever meaning it had.
• You are responsible for your own keys and passwords. A site account holds only an encrypted copy of your key; nobody can recover a lost password or a lost wallet, including the operator.
• The operator may add checkpoints to the code, take the site or its public node offline, delete accounts or market posts that break these terms, and change the software. Your own node and your own copy of the chain are yours regardless.
• Do not use the network or the market to store, publish or transmit anything unlawful, to deceive another user, or to disrupt the service. There is nothing to gain and it will be switched off.
• You must be an adult where you live to use this site.

The market

The market page is a bulletin board. Users post offers to sell DONUT, or requests to buy it, for Apple Cash or Cash App, and other users take them. The operator does not hold, transfer, escrow or verify any money, does not take part in any trade, and does not verify the identity, honesty or solvency of any user. Every trade is a private arrangement between the two people in it, and either can walk away before the other has performed. The site records that a DONUT transfer appeared on the chain and marks a trade complete once that transfer is 21 blocks deep; it records nothing about the money. The prices shown are computed from users’ own completed trades and a public Dogecoin price feed; they are information, not a quote, an offer or a valuation. Apple Cash and Cash App are their operators’ services under their own terms; use them as those terms allow.

Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, the operator is not liable for any loss or damage arising from Donut Coin, the software or this site, including lost coins, lost time, lost electricity and lost dignity. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for DONUT, which is nothing.

Changes

These terms may change; the date at the top tells you when. Continued use is acceptance.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
