Opacity Terms & Conditions

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) describe the terms and conditions governing your use of the services, data, software, applications (including mobile applications), website (http://opacitylabs.com/ and http://opacity.network) (the “Website”), and tools (collectively “Services”) provided by Opacity Labs, Inc. (“Opacity,” “we,” “us”, or “our”).

Please read the following Terms carefully.

By using our Services, or by clicking to accept or agree to these Terms, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, found at www.opacity.com/legal, incorporated herein by reference, in full. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use any portion of the Services.

These Terms contain provisions that govern how claims between you and us are resolved (see Section 11, Disputes with Opacity below).

1. Changes to Terms and Services.

Opacity may change these Terms without notice to you. You should view these Terms often to stay informed of any changes that may affect you. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF SERVICES FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF REVISED TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY OF THE CHANGES, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT AND NOT USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES.

The version of these Terms posted on each respective date you visit the Website and/or Services will be the Terms applicable to your access and use of the Services on that date. We reserve the right to terminate these Terms, or to refuse, restrict, or discontinue access to or use of the Services (or any portions, components, or features thereof) to you or any other person or entity, if you are in breach of the Terms or for any reason or for no reason whatsoever, at any time, without notice or liability.

We may update the content on the Services from time to time, but the content is not necessarily complete or up-to-date. Any of the material on the Website or other Services may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update such material.

2. Services.

Opacity’s Verified Data Network (VDN) shifts control from platforms to users, letting them verify, control, and utilize their data without sacrificing privacy.  The tech stack is a mix of zero knowledge transport layer security (zkTLS) from the TLSNotary team, MPC architecture, and EigenLayer for crypto-economic security where the AVS nodes serve as the verifiers of user data.  Because Opacity is an infrastructure provider, there are effectively two primary user experiences. For developers, there is a seamless software development kit (SDK) which can be integrated into apps on either iOS or Android which will allow them to utilize the AVS and have client side proofs generated on the user’s device.  This is important for privacy, but also flexibility as Opacity is entirely chain agnostic and does not require the developer to store any sensitive information on their own backend servers to utilize the platform. From an end user perspective, Opacity allows developers to have a simple login experience to the supported platform. Once the user is logged in the persistent OAuth will allow the app to generate proofs on demand and as necessary to create an efficient user experience (UX). The developer platform is live at http://opacity.network and its location may be updated from time-to-time.

3. Accounts, Passwords, and Security.

To view or utilize the Services, you may be obligated to create an account using an email address and password, or by syncing a third party wallet. When you register to create an account, you agree to provide accurate information about yourself and must not register under a false name or age or use an unauthorized payment method or wallet. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify Opacity immediately upon learning of any unauthorized use of your account or password, or any other unauthorized access or breach of security. However, you may be held liable for losses incurred by Opacity or any other person or entity due to another person using your account or password. You may not transfer or assign your account. You have the right to cancel your account at any time. You understand and agree that, except as expressly provided by law, the cancellation of your account is your sole right and remedy with respect to any dispute you may have with us.

All information we collect on the Website and/or as part of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy which can by found at www.opacity.com/legal.

4. Fees.

In accordance with the Privacy Policy and if necessary to complete a transaction, you agree to provide Opacity with at least the minimal amount of information in order to facilitate the transaction.

5. Monitoring.

Opacity may monitor the integrity of the marketplace and may take steps to protect the marketplace as determined by Opacity in its sole discretion.

11. Consent to Arbitration.

You agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to or arising out of the Terms or your use of, or access to, the Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 11. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND OPACITY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

You agree that, except to the extent inconsistent with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) or preempted by federal law, the laws of New York State, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Opacity. Legal notices shall be served on Opacity’s national registered agent (in the case of Opacity) or your email address on file with us (in your case). Notice by us to you shall be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after the email is sent. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to the physical address you have on file with us. In such case, notice shall be deemed given three (3) days after the date of mailing, regardless of whether any such notice is returned to us. It is your responsibility to keep your contact information updated.

You and Opacity each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Opacity relating in any way to or arising out of the Terms or your use of the Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration. The FAA governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

IN ALL EVENTS, EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARY AND INTENTIONALLY, WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT, IF AND TO THE EXTENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATION DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIM, THAT CLAIM WILL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

YOU AND OPACITY AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND OPACITY AGREE OTHERWISE IN A SEPARATE WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER OPACITY USERS. IF A COURT DECIDES THAT APPLICABLE LAW PRECLUDES ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THIS PARAGRAPH’S PROHIBITIONS ON CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS AS TO ANY CLAIM, THEN THAT CLAIM (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM) MUST BE SEVERED FROM THE ARBITRATION AND RESOLVED IN COURT, SUBJECT TO YOUR AND OPACITY’S RIGHT TO APPEAL THE COURT’S DECISIONS. ALL OTHER CLAIMS WILL BE ARBITRATED.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate, any part of it, or of the Terms including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate or the Terms is void or voidable.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a completed form Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). A Notice to Opacity should be sent to notice@opacitylabs.com. Opacity will send any Notice to you to the physical address we have on file associated with your Opacity account; it is your responsibility to keep your physical address up to date. All information called for in the Notice must be provided, including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought.

If you and Opacity are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within 30 days after the Notice is sent, you or Opacity may initiate arbitration proceedings. The party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send a copy to Opacity at the following address: notice@opacitylabs.com. In the event Opacity initiates arbitration against you, it will send a copy of the completed form to the physical address we have on file associated with your Opacity account. Any settlement offer made by you or Opacity shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

The arbitration shall be held in New York County, NY or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or Opacity may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Opacity, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you and/or Opacity may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

With the exception of any of the provisions in the CLASS ACTION WAIVER, if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply.

If you are a new user of our Services, you can choose to reject this Agreement to Arbitrate by notifying us in writing that you opt-out (“Opt-Out Notice”). Your Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the date you accept the Terms for the first time (i.e. your first date of using the Services). You must mail your Opt-Out Notice to: notice@opacitylabs.com. Your Opt-Out Notice should state that you opt-out of this Agreement to Arbitrate and provide your name, address (including street number and address, city, state, and zip code), phone number and the email address(es) and wallet addresses used to log in to the Opacity account(s) to which the opt-out applies. You must sign and date the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, all other parts of the Terms will continue to apply. Opting out of this Agreement to Arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.
