PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS (THE "TERMS", "TERMS OF
USE"), WHICH ALONG WITH OUR [PRIVACY
POLICY](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JhQ_6U39GXau6os9tRKMHc8LPPXd3-diTqGFbXqPieQ/edit?tab=t.0) AND ALL SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS THAT MAY BE PRESENTED TO YOU FOR YOUR
REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE (COLLECTIVELY, THE "AGREEMENT") CONSTITUTE THE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU OR ANY ENTITY ON WHOSE BEHALF YOU ACCESS OR USE
THE FUNCTIONALITIES AVAILABLE ("USER" OR "YOU"), AND OXBOW LTD.
("OXBOW", "WE", "US"). THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT
CONCERNING THE WEBSITE AND FUNCTIONALITIES BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND IT
SUPERSEDES ANY PRIOR PROPOSAL, REPRESENTATION OR UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN
THE PARTIES. OXBOW AND USER ARE HEREINAFTER JOINTLY DEFINED AS THE
"PARTIES" OR INDIVIDUALLY A "PARTY".
BY ACCESSING THE WEBSITE OR USING THE FUNCTIONALITIES, YOU ARE ACCEPTING
AND AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY AND TO COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS. YOU AGREE TO
THESE TERMS PERSONALLY AND ON BEHALF OF ANY COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL
ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT OR THAT YOU NAME AS THE USER WHEN YOU ACCESS
THE WEBSITE OR FOR THE FUNCTIONALITIES. WHEN INTEGRATING OXBOW'S
FUNCTIONALITIES ("FUNCTIONALITIES"). YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU
HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND
TO BIND ANY SUCH COMPANY OR LEGAL ENTITY TO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO
NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT
ACCESS AND/OR USE OXBOW'S FUNCTIONALITIES.
0xbow Limited (hereinafter "0xbow", "we", or "us") maintains the website
privacypools.com (the "Website"), our software, data, content,
information, tools, functionality, updates, and similar materials that
may be provided by us from time to time (collectively, the
"Functionality"), subject to your acknowledgement, agreement and
compliance with the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
This Agreement is subject to change. If this Agreement changes, we will
let you know by posting the revised Agreement on the website and/or
otherwise making you aware of the changes. Your continued access and use
of our Functionalities following our notice of changes to this Agreement
(or other method of legal acceptance) means you accept such changes.
Please refer to the "Effective Date" date above to see when this
Agreement was last updated.
1. **Right to Access:**
**You must agree and comply** with the conditions of this Agreement, and
we will grant you a limited, revocable, non-assignable,
non-transferrable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive right to access,
receive, and access the website and use of the Functionalities. No
rights not explicitly listed are granted.
2. **Overview**
0xbow offers an API for third parties to verify whether a particular
wallet address is or is not identified as associated as high-risk or on
a sanctions list. Access to the Association Set requires the user to
provide certain information for 0xbow to conduct appropriate due
diligence on the user's wallet address ("Proof of Association"). If the
user's wallet address passes 0xbow's due diligence process, the Proof of
Association will be published by 0xbow ("Whitelisted") for Ethereum
privacy pools ("Pools\"). 0xbow will have the discretion to remove any
wallet address from the Proof of Association at any time.
If 0xbow detects that a wallet address was mistakenly added to the
Whitelist, 0xbow will remove the wallet's Proof of Association. User'a
wallet address will undergo 0xbow's due diligence process each time a
deposit is made into the Privacy Pool. A minimum deposit amount will be
required and enforced by the smart contract for all users. For example,
the minimum deposit amount will be 0.1 ETH for the ETH Pool on Ethereum
mainnet. However, the minimum amount may vary for each Privacy Pool
deployment based on the type of asset and chain on which the Pool is
deployed. The deposit amount may be updated from time to time at 0xbow's
discretion.
Users whose wallet address is not Whitelisted may withdraw their deposit
to their deposit address - this process may reveal certain aspects of
the transaction publicly. Users that fail 0xbow's due diligence process
risk their wallet address being associated with other high-risk and/or
sanctioned wallet addresses. In these instances, users will not be
included in the Proof of Association.

claim arising to or in any way related to this Agreement may be
settled by arbitration in Delaware. The Parties agree that any
arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration &

arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or
adjudication and motions to dismiss and demurrers, prior to any
arbitration hearing. The Parties agree that the arbitrator shall
issue a written decision on the merits. The Parties agree that
the arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in a
manner consistent with the JAMS Rules, and that the arbitrator
shall apply substantive and procedural Delaware law to any
dispute or claim, without reference to rules of conflict of law.
To the extent that the JAMS Rules conflict with Delaware law,
Delaware law shall take precedence. In the event the Parties
agree that the total amount in controversy is not more than
\$75,000, subject to JAMS\' Streamlined Arbitration Rules and
Procedures, the Parties agree to conduct such arbitration
proceeding telephonically or via Zoom. Within reasonable
limitations and acknowledging each Party\'s desire to have

discovery will be within the sole discretion of the arbitrator.

the arbitrator may grant any remedy or relief available under
applicable law, including, without limitation, injunctive relief
and specific performance. The arbitrator's decision or award
shall be fully enforceable and subject to an entry of judgment
by a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not
have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning, and
the commission of an error of law or legal reasoning shall be
grounds for vacating or correcting the award. Each Party shall
pay the fees of their respective attorneys and any other
expenses connected with the arbitration, but all other costs of
this arbitration, including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of
any record or transcript of the arbitration, administrative
fees, and other fees and costs, shall be shared equally by the
parties. The party losing the arbitration shall reimburse the
party who prevailed for all expenses the prevailing party paid
pursuant to the preceding sentence and for all reasonable
attorneys' fees (as determined by the Arbitrator) incurred by
the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration
proceeding. A demand for arbitration shall be made within a
reasonable time after the claim, dispute, or other matter has
arisen, and in no event shall such demand be made after the date
when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such
claim, dispute, or other matter in question would be barred by
the applicable statute of limitations. The decision of
arbitrators shall be rendered within sixty (60) days of
submission of any claim or dispute, shall be in writing and
mailed to all the parties included in the arbitration. The
decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon the parties and
judgment in accordance with that decision may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.
14. **Governing Law and Jurisdiction**
These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the
laws of the state of Delaware without regard to its conflict of laws
provisions. The exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes will be in
Delaware, and you and 0xbow each waive any objection to such
jurisdiction and venue.
15. **Force Majeure**
0xbow shall not incur any liability or penalty for not performing any
act or fulfilling any obligation hereunder by reason of any occurrence
that is not within its control (including any provision of any present
or future law or regulation or any act of any Governmental Authority,
any act of God or war or terrorism, or the unavailability, disruption
or malfunction of the Internet, the World Wide Web or any other
electronic network, the Ethereum Network, or any aspect thereof, or
any consensus attack, or hack, or denial-of-service or other attack.
It being understood that 0xbow shall use commercially reasonable
efforts, consistent with accepted practices in the industries in which
0xbow operates, as applicable, to resume performance as soon as
reasonably practicable under the circumstances.
16\. **Severability**
If any provision of this Agreement is found for any reason to be
unlawful, void or unenforceable, then that provision will be given its
maximum enforceable effect, or shall be deemed severable from this
Agreement and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any
remaining provision.
17\. **Revisions**

through the Website or other appropriate Functionality and may be
required to re-affirm the updated Agreement using the method we will
specify.

relationship exists between you and us as a result of this Agreement

any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may
not assign the Agreement without our prior written consent, and any
unauthorized assignment by you shall be null and void.
20\. **No Waiver**
Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall in no way
be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor
in any way affect the right of any party to enforce each and every
such provision thereafter. The express waiver by us of any provision,
condition or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a
waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision,
condition or requirement.
21\. **Notices**
All notices given by you or required under this Agreement shall be in
writing and addressed to support@0xbow.
22\. **Equitable Remedies**

that we shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of
damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of
this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise
have available to us under applicable laws.

reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with
respect to the Service, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
