Terms of Service

Welcome to ECW3, a decentralized e-commerce protocol built on Web3 technologies. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the ECW3 protocol, including all associated smart contracts, websites, dApps, and governance mechanisms operated under the ECW3 ecosystem ("ECW3" or the "Protocol").

By accessing or using ECW3, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Protocol.

1. Definitions

• "User": Any individual or entity accessing or interacting with the ECW3 protocol.
• "Smart Contracts": On-chain code deployed as part of ECW3 functionality.
• "ECW3 Token": The native utility and governance token of the ECW3 protocol.
• "DAO": The decentralized autonomous organization that governs ECW3.
• "Platform": Any interface that enables access to ECW3.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, legally capable of entering into contracts, and not located in any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions or restrictions. It is your responsibility to comply with applicable laws and regulations in your region.

3. Use of the Protocol

• You may only use ECW3 for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
• You must maintain control of your private keys and wallet security.
• You may not interfere with or disrupt the smart contracts or network.
• All transactions are final and irreversible once confirmed on-chain.

4. ECW3 Tokens

The ECW3 Token is used to:

• Access features and services in the protocol ecosystem
• Participate in governance via voting or proposing changes
• Earn rewards through contribution mining or referrals
• Stake for brand visibility or access to promotional tools

Tokens are not securities and do not confer any equity or ownership rights.

5. DAO Participation

All token holders may participate in DAO governance. Key components include:

• Proposal creation (subject to staking thresholds)
• On-chain voting with optional delegation
• Quadratic or time-weighted voting on certain issues
• Reputation-based scoring for sensitive proposals (e.g., disputes)

Users are solely responsible for the impact and consequences of their governance actions.

6. Intellectual Property

The ECW3 protocol code is open-source unless otherwise noted. User-submitted content may be stored on-chain and used within the ECW3 ecosystem with proper attribution, unless explicitly restricted by the contributor.

7. Disclaimers

• ECW3 does not act as a custodian or service provider.
• The protocol is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.
• You use ECW3 at your own risk, especially regarding token volatility, smart contract bugs, or governance outcomes.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, ECW3 contributors and developers disclaim any liability for direct or indirect losses incurred through the use of the Protocol, including but not limited to token losses, economic damage, or governance decisions.

9. Modifications to Terms

These Terms may be updated periodically. Significant updates will be subject to DAO governance proposals. Continued use constitutes acceptance of the latest Terms.
