3. OILER PLATFORM
Oiler Platform is a web-based user interface that enables you to interact with the Protocol, which is a decentralised autonomous smart-contract system deployed on the Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchain network(s), such as the Ethereum main network, that allows for creating/writing and transferring particular on-chain derivatives and implementations thereof, and performing other protocol-related actions (the “Protocol”). It is further expressly acknowledged that we do not operate the Protocol. For more details concerning the Protocol, please refer to the information and materials available on the Website, including the documents section accessible at https://docs.oiler.network/, which information and materials are provided for the information purposes only and do not form a part of these Terms. The Protocol is comprised of open-sourced smart-contracts deployed on the blockchain network(s) that operate in a decentralised and autonomous manner. These smart-contacts can be reviewed, verified, used, copied, modified, and distributed by anyone (subject to the terms of the applicable license). Accordingly, there might be other interfaces enabling interaction with the Protocol that we neither control nor are affiliated with. Furthermore, anyone can interact directly with the Protocol bypassing the Oiler Platform and other interfaces. You should carefully and thoroughly review and assess the Protocol and related software before you use them, and any such use shall be at your own risk. You should always do your own research. You further acknowledge that we do not control the Protocol, its underlying blockchain network(s), and any software through which such networks are formed. Accordingly, in no event shall Oiler be responsible for or held liable in connection with the Protocol, underlying blockchain networks or software, their operation, functioning, implementation, or use, and you hereby assume and accept any and all related risks, including the risk of possible losses and damages that you may incur in connection with the use thereof.
4. CONNECTING DIGITAL WALLET
When using the Platform, you may connect your Digital Wallet using one of the compatible third-party software wallets, such as, for illustration purposes only, MetaMask, TrustWallet, WalletConnect or similar software. Software wallets constitute Third-Party Services and Oiler is not responsible for, does not endorse, shall not be held liable or responsible in connection with, and does not make any warranties, whether express or implied, as to the software digital wallets used by you with the Platform. When using third-party software wallets, you should review applicable terms and policies that govern your use of such software wallets.
Oiler never receives access to or control over your Digital Wallets or Digital Assets held in such Digital Wallets. Therefore, you are solely responsible for securing your Digital Wallet and credentials thereto. You may disconnect your Digital Wallet from the Platform at any time.

For any Dispute that you have against Oiler or relating to the Platform, these Terms or any matters contemplated herein, you shall first contact Oiler and attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by sending a Notice to Oiler by email at [email protected]. The Notice must include your name, address and email, and such other information necessary to identify you or assess your inquiry, describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and set forth the specific relief sought.

Unless prohibited under the law, the arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality.
Any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms is personal to you and Oiler and will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding in any circumstances. There will be no class or other type or representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration where an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals.
To the maximum extent permitted under the law, you and Oiler hereby waive the rights to a jury trial, class action arbitration, and to have any Dispute resolved in court.
To the maximum extent permitted under the law, you and Oiler hereby agree that any claim arising out of or related to the Platform, Protocol, these Terms or any matters contemplated herein shall be filed within one (1) year after the ground for such claim arose; if the claim is not filed within this term, such claim shall be permanently barred, which means that neither you, nor Oiler will have the right to assert such claim.
