Terms of Service

Effective Date: February 14, 2025

1. Introduction and Agreement Formation

This Terms of Service Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between Official Unofficial, Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") and any individual or entity accessing or using our website, application (including the Uno client), or services (collectively, the "Services").

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. By creating an account or by accessing or using the Services, you ("User," "you," or "your") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, you must immediately cease using the Services.

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy and the End User License Agreement (EULA) for the Uno software, which are incorporated herein by reference.

2. Service Description: A Hybrid Social Client

IMPORTANT: Our Services, particularly the Uno client, provide a hybrid interface to decentralized social network protocols (the "Protocols"). This model combines centralized services for convenience with interaction on public, decentralized networks.

  • Interface to Decentralized Protocols: The Services allow you to interact with public, permissionless networks that we do not own or control. Content broadcast to these Protocols is typically public and permanent.
  • Custodial Message Signer Keys: To provide a seamless user experience, we generate and securely store a specific "message signer key" on our servers. This key is used only to sign social interactions (e.g., posts, replies, likes) on your behalf. We do not store or have access to your primary wallet key or passkey that controls your core digital identity or assets.
  • Server-Side Data Caching: To improve performance, we store a temporary, shallow copy of your data, such as your posts and profile information, before and after it is broadcast to the Protocol.
  • Your Responsibility: You are responsible for securing the credentials for your account with us. Unauthorized access to your account will grant access to your message signer key.

3. User Accounts and Eligibility

3.1 Eligibility

You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and possess the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement.

3.2 Account Security

You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to:

  • Maintain the confidentiality of your account password and any other credentials.
  • Immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

4. User Content and Rights

4.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of the content you create and share through the Services ("User Content"). You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting it.

4.2 License Grant to Company

By submitting User Content through our Services, you grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform your User Content in connection with providing and promoting the Services. This includes caching your data and displaying it to other users.

4.3 Your Rights

  • Content Deletion: You can delete your User Content through the Services. This action removes it from our direct systems and sends a deletion request to the Protocol. However, due to the nature of decentralized networks, we cannot guarantee its complete or permanent removal from the underlying Protocol or third-party copies.
  • Signer Key Export: You may request an export of the message signer key we manage for you, subject to identity verification. Upon export, you assume full responsibility for the security of that key.

5. Community Standards and Prohibited Activities

You agree not to use the Services to:

  • Post or transmit content that is illegal, hateful, harassing, abusive, or incites violence.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES, THE UNDERLYING PROTOCOLS, OR ANY CONTENT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THE INHERENT RISKS OF CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS AND DECENTRALIZED NETWORKS.

7. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM:

  • Your use of or inability to use the Services.
  • Any unauthorized access to or use of our servers, your account, or the message signer keys we manage on your behalf.
  • Any interruption, bugs, viruses, or cessation of transmission to or from the Services.
  • The conduct or content of any third party on the Services or underlying Protocols.
  • The permanent loss of content on a decentralized network, even after a deletion request.

8. Indemnification
