Arbspark.com Terms of Use

Last Updated: August 26th, 2025

Introduction

These Terms of Use provide the terms and conditions under which you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you” or “your”), are permitted to use, interact with, or otherwise access the Interfaces or Features provided by ML2 Inc. (“the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Use, together with any documents and additional terms or policies that are appended hereto or that expressly incorporate these Terms of Use by reference, as well as our Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Terms”), constitute a binding agreement between you and us.

These Terms govern (i) all editorial material, data-driven functions, and informational resources (the “Content Features”) accessible via Arbspark.com (the “Site”) or any associated platform where these Terms are displayed (each, an “Interface”) and (ii) software, specifically including the decentralized smart contract protocol (the “Protocol”) branded as Arbspark (the “Platform”), which users may interact with by linking their non-custodial digital wallets through an Interface (the “Technology Features” and, collectively with the Content Features, the “Features”).

The primary objective of the Site is to deliver Content Features, consisting of news coverage and insights regarding global affairs. Users located within a Restricted Jurisdiction (as specified herein) are strictly limited to utilizing the Content Features of the Site or Interface and are prohibited from engaging with any other functionalities, most notably the Technology Features and the underlying Platform.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE EXAMINE THESE TERMS THOROUGHLY.

BY VISITING, INTERACTING WITH, OR UTILIZING THE SITE OR ANY RELATED INTERFACE (INCLUDING CONNECTING A DIGITAL WALLET OR ESTABLISHING A SITE IDENTIFIER), YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR LEGAL CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT. YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE READ, COMPREHENDED, AND CONSENTED TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, WHICH INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ANY PART OF THESE TERMS, YOU ARE PROHIBITED FROM ACCESSING OR USING ANY INTERFACE OR FEATURE.

TRADING VIA THE SITE, PLATFORM, OR TECHNOLOGY FEATURES IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN FOR INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES RESIDING IN, LOCATED IN, INCORPORATED IN, OR MAINTAINING A PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ADDRESS IN THE UNITED STATES, UNITED KINGDOM, FRANCE, ONTARIO, SINGAPORE, POLAND, THAILAND, AUSTRALIA, BELGIUM, TAIWAN, OR ANY OTHER RESTRICTED TERRITORY (COLLECTIVELY, “RESTRICTED PERSONS”).

NO EXCEPTIONS ARE PERMITTED. IF YOU ARE A RESTRICTED PERSON, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EXECUTE TRADES ON THE SITE OR PLATFORM. THE USE OF VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS (VPNS) OR SIMILAR MASKING TOOLS TO BYPASS THESE GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS IS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED.

The Site and Features

Overview of Site Functionality

The Site serves two distinct roles: it provides a news portal for global current events (the “Information Site”) and offers a technical interface allowing users to independently broadcast messages to the Polygon blockchain to trade event-based digital contracts (the “Contracts”).

Key Features, including the Platform, were created by Blockratize, Inc. (“Blockratize”), a third-party software developer. The Company licenses this software from Blockratize. Neither the Company nor Blockratize operates as a financial exchange or clearinghouse; consequently, neither entity manages or influences your individual on-chain transactions.

Any pricing data displayed on the Site regarding Contracts is strictly for informational purposes and does not constitute a financial offer, a solicitation, or professional investment advice from the Company.

While the Site’s display may update based on your inputs, the Company never acts on your behalf or under your direction. By using the “Connect Wallet” feature, you acknowledge that the Company: (i) does not facilitate the transmission of data to blockchain networks, (ii) cannot execute or modify your transactions, (iii) has no access to or control over your private keys or digital assets, and (iv) never takes custody of your funds. Users must exercise extreme caution, as blockchain transactions are irreversible. Furthermore, the underlying smart contracts and Protocol are open-source and are not owned or controlled by the Company or Blockratize.

You hold sole responsibility for the security of your Wallet, including passwords and recovery phrases. We cannot retrieve lost keys or reverse transactions. We assume no liability for losses resulting from your wallet management or interactions with immutable protocols.

Users must recognize the inherent risks of decentralized finance, including code vulnerabilities, phishing, market volatility, and social engineering.

The Protocol and the Polygon network operate independently of the Company and Blockratize. We provide no guarantees regarding the network's uptime, security, or performance. We do not manage the third-party developers or validators who maintain these networks. All network fees (“gas”) associated with your transactions are non-refundable and are your exclusive responsibility.

We do not control or process transactions via the Platform. The Company is not liable for any financial loss, including failed transfers or fraudulent activity, resulting from your use of decentralized technology.

Your Acknowledgement of Site Information

You recognize and agree that all data provided through the Content Features and the Site is intended strictly for general informational use. While we aim for precision, we provide no assurance that the content is comprehensive, current, or free of errors. Consequently, you agree that you are not relying on the information presented on the Site or any Interface for any decision-making. You expressly (i) waive any claims of reliance on the Site's content and (ii) acknowledge that neither the Company nor Blockratize shall be held responsible for the accuracy or utility of such information.

Periodically, the Site, Interfaces, or Features may be unavailable or non-functional due to various factors, including: (A) hardware failures; (B) scheduled maintenance or emergency repairs; (C) unforeseen circumstances beyond our control; (D) instabilities or outages in the underlying blockchain networks; or (E) service disruptions from third-party partners and vendors.

It is your responsibility to verify any information found on our Interfaces independently. You should never base your actions solely on the content found on our platform, including articles, data points, external links, social media posts (such as on X, Discord, Lens, or Farcaster), news feeds, or instructional videos.

Disclaimer of Professional and Financial Advice

No content available on the Site, any Interface, or through our Features constitutes professional or investment advice. The Company assumes no fiduciary duties or obligations toward you based on the informational resources provided.

You acknowledge that all insights provided through your use of the Site are for educational and informational purposes only and should not be treated as expert professional guidance.

You must not take, or avoid taking, any specific action based on the materials we publish, including blog posts, news summaries, third-party links, or community discussions on platforms like Discord.

Prior to making legal, financial, or other significant decisions related to our Features, you should consult with a licensed professional qualified to provide advice in the relevant field.

These Terms do not establish any fiduciary relationship between you and the Company. Our only obligations to you are those explicitly defined within this Agreement.

Information on the Site shall not be viewed as an offer, solicitation, or invitation to (i) trade, dispose of, or underwrite digital assets, or (ii) engage in any transaction involving cryptoassets.

Neither the Company nor Blockratize serves as a financial, legal, tax, or trading advisor to any individual or organization.

Modifications

To The Terms

We reserve the right to amend these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. Any updates will be published on the Site and relevant Interfaces, with the most recent revision date displayed at the top.

Revised Terms take effect immediately upon being posted. Your continued interaction with any Interface or Feature following these updates constitutes your explicit consent to the modified Terms.

If you do not consent to the updated Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the Interfaces and Features. It is your responsibility to monitor the Site regularly for any changes to this Agreement.

To the Site, Interfaces, or Features

We maintain the right to modify, replace, remove, or limit access to the Site and its Features at any time without prior notice. This includes the right to materially alter or delete any available content or information.

We may, at our discretion, temporarily or permanently suspend or disable the Site or any specific Features for any reason and without advance warning.

Upon any termination of your access, your right to use our Services ends immediately. We assume no liability for any losses you may incur resulting from the modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Site or its Features.

As the platform evolves, we may choose to overhaul or retire specific parts of the technology or content at our sole discretion.

User Responsibilities, Representations & Prohibited Conduct

Your Representations

By accessing the Site or utilizing its Features, you represent and warrant the following to the Company:

Legal Capacity. You are at least 18 years of age and possess the legal authority to enter into this Agreement.

You confirm you are not on the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list or any equivalent EU or UK restricted lists. You are not operating from a territory subject to comprehensive UN, US, EU, or UK sanctions. If your status regarding these sanctions changes, you must stop using our Services immediately.

Restricted Jurisdictions. You are not a citizen or resident of, nor are you located in, any territory subject to comprehensive US sanctions (such as Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, or sanctioned regions of Ukraine). Furthermore, you are prohibited from trading Contracts if you are located in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Ontario, Singapore, Poland, Thailand, or Taiwan.

Security and Configuration. You are solely responsible for the correct configuration and security of your Wallet and data. This includes safeguarding your private keys and any sensitive financial or token-related information.

Anti-Circumvention. You will not use VPNs, proxies, or any other anonymization tools to bypass geographic restrictions or other limitations applied to the Site and its Features.

Under these Terms, you are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to access and use the platform. This license exists solely for your personal interaction with the Services.

This license is granted for our business operations, including the maintenance and provision of the Services, for as long as necessary.

Regarding any Feedback or information you submit through the platform (collectively, “Content”), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, and fully paid-up license to use, publish, and distribute such Content in any medium. This includes the right to create derivative works for promotional purposes related to the Platform and its affiliates.

Third-Party Content and Services

The Site and Features may integrate with or provide access to applications, data, and resources managed by independent third parties (“Third-Party Services”).

Any links to Third-Party Services are provided solely for your convenience.

We do not endorse any products or advertising found on external sites. You acknowledge that the Company shall not be held accountable for any damages alleged to be caused by goods or services available through third-party platforms.

We strongly recommend reviewing the legal terms of any Third-Party Service before engagement. Integration does not constitute a recommendation by the Company.

Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold harmless the Company, Blockratize, and their respective officers, directors, and employees (the “Company Parties”) from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses—including legal fees—arising from: (i) your use of the Interfaces or Features; (ii) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (iii) disputes between you and third parties; (iv) infringement of intellectual property rights; and (v) any Feedback you provide.

If we are required to respond to legal subpoenas or orders related to the activities mentioned above, you agree to reimburse the Company for the time and materials expended by our staff and contractors at standard hourly rates, in addition to reasonable attorney fees.

The Company reserves the right to assume exclusive control over the defense and settlement of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate fully with our legal strategy.

Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

Site and Features Disclaimer

The Company does not guarantee that the Site or its Features will be secure, available, or error-free. The underlying technology is subject to rapid change, and we cannot ensure that your access or ability to transact will remain uninterrupted. You accept all risks associated with the use of these decentralized technologies.

No Warranty

THE SITE AND FEATURES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND BLOCKRATIZE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE ACCURATE, FREE OF MALWARE, OR THAT YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS WILL BE SECURE FROM LOSS OR ALTERATION.

Limitations of Liability

THE COMPANY AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR OPPORTUNITY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES.

WE ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM: (i) YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS THE FEATURES DUE TO DOWNTIME, TERMINATION, OR SUSPENSION; (ii) THE COST OF REPLACING SERVICES; (iii) ANY FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS MADE BASED ON THE TERMS; (iv) UNAUTHORIZED DATA ACCESS OR DELETION; (v) FLUCTUATIONS IN CRYPTOASSET VALUE; OR (vi) LOSSES RESULTING FROM EXTERNAL HACKS OR TAMPERING.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY UNDER THESE TERMS EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

Governing Law, Dispute Resolution and Class Action Waiver

Governing Law

These Terms and any related legal actions are governed by the Nevis Arbitration Law and the laws of Nevis, excluding any conflict of laws principles. For any Disputes not subject to mandatory arbitration as defined in the "Dispute Resolution and Arbitration" section, the exclusive venue shall be the courts of Nevis. Both you and the Company waive any rights to object to the jurisdiction or venue of such courts.

Dispute Resolution

Before initiating any formal legal or arbitration proceedings, you agree to attempt to resolve the issue through good-faith negotiations. The process begins with a written "Initial Notice" detailing the dispute. The recipient has twenty days to respond, and both parties must meet and confer within forty-five days of the Initial Notice to seek a resolution.

If no resolution is reached within ninety days of the Initial Notice, the parties may mutually agree to mediation or proceed to arbitration as outlined in these Terms.

Mandatory Arbitration

Any controversy or claim arising from these Terms, the Interfaces, or the Features—including questions regarding the validity or scope of this arbitration agreement—will be settled by arbitration in Panama before a single arbitrator. This provision does not prevent either party from seeking temporary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in aid of arbitration.

The arbitrator holds sole authority to rule on the enforceability, interpretation, and reach of this arbitration agreement.

Except as otherwise noted, the arbitrator will decide liability on the merits and may grant declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual claimant and only to the extent necessary for that individual's specific claim.

Any claims for public injunctive relief (relief intended to stop unlawful acts threatening the general public) must be decided in a civil court rather than arbitration. In such cases, the parties agree to stay court proceedings regarding public relief until the individual merits are decided in arbitration.

BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, BOTH PARTIES ARE VOLUNTARILY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.

Class Action / Representative Claim Waiver

Arbitration will proceed strictly on an individual basis. Class-wide arbitrations and representative actions are strictly prohibited.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted solely in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any consolidated, representative, or multi-plaintiff action.

The arbitrator lacks the authority to aggregate multiple claims or award relief to any person or entity not a party to the specific individual arbitration. Furthermore, the arbitrator may not oversee any form of representative or class proceeding involving you and the Company.

General Terms

Entire Agreement

These Terms, along with any referenced policies, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and the Company. This document replaces all prior verbal or written agreements, understandings, or communications regarding this subject matter.

No Relationships or Assignments

These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between you and the Company. You are prohibited from representing yourself as an agent or representative of the Company beyond your status as a user of the Features.

You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms to anyone else. The Company reserves the right to transfer or assign these Terms, in whole or in part, at its discretion. Any unauthorized assignment on your part is void. These Terms remain binding for the benefit of permitted successors and assigns.

Waiver

If the Company fails to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, it does not constitute a waiver of that right in the future. Any valid waiver must be provided by the Company in writing.

Severability

If any portion of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, the rest of the Agreement remains in full effect. The invalid section will be modified to reflect the original intent; if modification is not possible, the section will be removed without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions.

Remedies

The rights and remedies provided to the Company in these Terms are cumulative and exist in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies available under Applicable Law.
