Terms of Service
Last Updated: April 7, 2022
These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the NAFTA website available at https://www.nafta.market (the “Website”) and NAFTA Application (App) accessible at https://www.nafta.market/app (the “App”, and collectively with the Website, the “Platform”).
The Platform is provided by Oiler DeFi Ltd., a company established under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, having a registered office located at Jayla Place, 2nd Floor, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands VG1110 (“we”, “us”, “our” or “Oiler”) to be primarily used as a web-based interface to access and use NAFTA Protocol (as defined below) in a user-friendly and easily comprehensible manner.
By accessing or using the Platform, connecting your Digital Wallet (as defined below) to the App, or by clicking the button “I accept” or respective check box in connection with or relating to these Terms, you (“you”, “your”) acknowledge that you have read, accept without modifications and agree to be bound by these Terms and all terms incorporated herein by reference, which form a legally binding agreement between you and us.
If you do not accept or agree to these Terms, you are not allowed to access or use the Platform, and must immediately discontinue any use thereof. If you are acting for or on behalf of an entity, you hereby represent and warrant that you are authorised to accept these Terms and enter into a binding agreement with us on such entity’s behalf, and you accept these Terms both on behalf of such entity and on your own behalf.
Please read these Terms carefully as they affect your obligations and legal rights. Note that Sections 22 and 23 contain provisions governing the choice of law, arbitration terms, and class action waiver. Please read and review Sections 15, 16, 17 carefully before accepting these Terms as they provide for the limitation of liability, your obligations to indemnify Oiler Parties, and contain disclaimer of warranties with regard to the Platform and related software.
1. DEFINITIONS
In these Terms, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms shall have the following meaning:
“Affiliate” means a person controlling, controlled by, or under the same control with Oiler.
“App” has the meaning provided in the preamble of these Terms.
“Communications” means any communications, agreements, documents, receipts, notices, and disclosures related to these Terms.

“Digital Wallet” means a pair of public and private cryptographic keys which can be used to track ownership of, receive or spend Digital Assets. A Digital Wallet usually has a public address associated with it.
“Dispute” means any dispute, claim, suit, action, causes of action, demand, or proceeding.
“Documentation” means documentation, information, and other materials relating to the Platform or NAFTA Protocol published by us or on our behalf, regardless of whether made available on the Platform or otherwise.
“LCIA” means the London Court of International Arbitration.
“Licence” has the meaning provided in Section 6 of these Terms.
“NAFTA Protocol” has the meaning provided in Section 3 of these Terms.
“Notice” means a written notice of your claim to any of the Oiler Parties.
“Oiler”, “we”, “us” shall have the meaning provided in the preamble of these Terms.
“Oiler Parties” means Oiler, its Affiliates, their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, contractors, and assignees.
“Open-Source Licences” means licences under which open-source software, materials, components, and items are distributed.
“Platform” means the Website and App, as defined in the preamble of these Terms, including related software, applications and components provided by the Company. It is expressly acknowledged that the Platform does not include the NAFTA Protocol, Third-Party Content, Third-Party Services, Digital Assets, and Digital Items that we neither control nor operate.
“Terms” means these Terms of Service.
“Third-Party Content” means any content, information, materials and items provided by third parties or produced from third-party sources, including (i) Digitals Items, (ii) the description of, links to or elements of the Third-Party Services, (iii) promotional materials and advertisements, other third-party materials and data, (iv) third-party websites and resources, and links thereto, and (v) any information produced or derived from third-party sources, including information about the value and price of Digital Assets, exchange rates between Digital Assets, information about circulating supply, total value locked and other similar data pertaining to any Digital Assets, not limited to the above.
“Third-Party Costs” means any costs, fees or expenses that are charged by third parties, including, for example, the Ethereum or other blockchains gas costs, fees related to or charged by Third-Party Services etc.

“you”, “your” means the person who accepts these Terms; if you are acting on behalf of an entity, “your” and “you” shall refer to both you as an individual using the Website and/or Platform, and the entity on whose behalf you are acting.
The term “rent”, “rent out”, and other similar terms, as may be used herein or on the Platform, are not meant to be interpreted literally. Rather, such terms are being used to draw rough, fuzzy-logic analogies between the heavily automated and mostly deterministic operations of a decentralised smart-contract system and the discretionary performance of traditional off-chain transactions by people. When the App is used to access the NAFTA Protocol, there are no legal agreements, promises of payment, or courts of law, and therefore there are no rents or other traditional transactions involved.
2. MODIFICATION
We may modify, supplement or update these Terms from time to time at our sole discretion. If we make changes to these Terms, we will notify you of such changes by updating these Terms and the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document. We may further (but will not be obligated to) provide an additional notification of the amendment via one of the communication channels specified in Section 24 of these Terms. Unless otherwise notified by us, updated Terms shall be effective immediately, and your continued use of the Platform will confirm the acceptance of such updated Terms. If you do not agree to any amended Terms, you must immediately discontinue any access to or use of the Platform.
3. APP
The App allows you to access and utilise functionality of the NAFTA protocol, which is essentially a set of smart-contracts implemented on Ethereum blockchain or other blockchain networks that facilitate certain on-chain transactions between the users involving various Digital Items (the “NAFTA Protocol”). It is further expressly acknowledged that we do not operate the NAFTA Protocol. More detailed description of the App and NAFTA Protocol is provided in the Documentation, which does not form a part of these Terms and is provided for the information purposes only.
The NAFTA Protocol is composed 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 licence). Accordingly, there might be other interfaces enabling interaction with the NAFTA Protocol that we neither control nor are affiliated with. Furthermore, anyone can interact directly with the NAFTA Protocol bypassing the App and other interfaces.
You should carefully and thoroughly review and assess the NAFTA 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 NAFTA Protocol, its underlying blockchain network(s), and any software through which such networks are formed. Accordingly, in no event shall we be responsible for or held liable in connection with the NAFTA 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 App, you may connect your Digital Wallet through one of the compatible third-party software wallets, such as, for illustration purposes only, MetaMask, TrustWallet, WalletConnect or similar software. Digital Wallets constitute Third-Party Services and we are not responsible for, do not endorse, shall not be held liable or responsible in connection with, and do not make any warranties, whether express or implied, as to the software digital wallets used by you with the App. When using Digital Wallets, you should review applicable terms and policies that govern your use thereof.
We never receive 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 Assets, Digital Wallet and credentials thereto. You may disconnect your Digital Wallet from the App at any time.
5. ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible to access and use the App, you must:
be able to form a legally binding agreement with us on terms herein set forth;

6. LICENCE
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we hereby grant you a limited, temporary, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable licence (right) to access and use the Platform for its intended purposes on the terms set forth herein (the “Licence”). The Licence will remain effective until terminated on the terms contained herein.
To the extent that certain items or components of the Platform are being distributed under an Open-Source Licence, such items and components will not be covered by the Licence granted hereunder and will be provided to you under the terms and conditions of the applicable Open-Source Licence.
The Licence granted hereunder shall terminate and cease upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
these Terms terminate or expire;
you violate these Terms;

We shall not be acting as an intermediary in any transaction nor shall we be responsible for ensuring that any transaction made through the App or otherwise on a blockchain network is actually completed or performed. We do not control or influence transactions with Digital Assets or Digital Items, and therefore we are unable to cancel, reverse, block, or freeze any transactions conducted by you or any other user of the App.

Neither we nor any part of the Platform provide financial advisory, legal, regulatory, or tax services directly, indirectly, implicitly, or in any other manner, and you should not consider any information contained in these Terms, on the Platform or in the Documentation to be a substitute for professional financial, legal, regulatory, tax, or other advice. You shall not rely upon the data displayed in the App or provided in the Documentation when taking any decision, and shall conduct your own independent investigation and research before making any transaction involving the Digital Assets.
The Platform, including any information and materials available thereon, is not intended to constitute an offer of securities, financial instruments, Digital Assets, Digital Items, or a solicitation for investment in or purchase of securities, financial instruments, Digital Assets, or Digital Items in any jurisdiction, nor is it intended to constitute a prospectus or offer document of any type.

Binding arbitration is the referral of a Dispute to a qualified person(s) who will review the Dispute and make a final and binding determination, by making an order, to resolve the Dispute.
For any Dispute that you have against us or relating in any way to these Terms or the Platform, you shall first contact us and attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by sending a Notice to us by email at legal@oiler.network. The Notice must include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number, describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and set forth the specific relief sought. If we and you cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by the LCIA, in accordance with the terms set forth below.
Any Disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Platform, including any question regarding the existence, validity, or termination of these Terms, shall be referred to and finally resolved by the binding arbitration under the London Court of International Arbitration Rules, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference herein. Any arbitration will occur in London, UK. You will not and hereby waive your rights to object to the arbitration prescribed herein.
Unless otherwise required by the applicable law, and to the maximum extent permitted and possible, you, Oiler, and the arbitrators shall maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Disputes. 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 us 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 we 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 we hereby agree that any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Platform 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 we will have the right to assert such claim.

You agree that we may provide Communications to you by posting them on the Platform, on our Twitter account, on our Medium blog or in our Telegram channels available at http://t.me/oilernetwork and/or http://t.me/oiler_official, provided that only those postings shall be deemed to constitute Communication that are expressly marked as relating to these Terms. If you provide us your email address, we may (but will not be obliged to) send Communications to you by email. All Communications specified in this paragraph shall be deemed in writing, valid and of full legal force, and delivered to you on the day following the day when they are published.
You may electronically communicate with us by sending Communications to the following email address hello@oiler.network. We may require you to provide additional data or documents that will allow us to identify you.
25. NO WAIVER
