ACCE Website – Terms of Service

Last Updated: 15 July 2025

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing acc.exchange or any associated sub‑domain, API, widget, or mobile application (collectively, the “Site”), you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not use the Site.

2. Our Role

ACCE is a technology company that develops and maintains the ACCE ecosystem and provides educational resources about cryptocurrency. ACCE is not a regulated financial institution, investment adviser, broker‑dealer, or securities exchange.

3. Eligibility & User Representations

You represent that you (a) are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), (b) have full legal capacity to enter into contracts, (c) are not located in, or a citizen of, any jurisdiction where the use of the Site or cryptocurrencies is prohibited by law, and (d) are not subject to sanctions or on any restricted‑party list.

4. No Financial, Investment, or Legal Advice

All information on the Site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute (i) investment, financial, legal, accounting, or tax advice; (ii) an offer or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any security, crypto‑asset, or financial instrument; or (iii) a recommendation to engage in any transaction. Always consult an independent, properly licensed financial or legal professional before making decisions involving cryptocurrencies or other assets. ACCE assumes no fiduciary duty toward you.

5. Token Balance, Airdrops & No Offering of Securities

  1. Off‑Chain Token Balance. From time to time, users may earn or be awarded a notional balance of ACCE tokens through airdrops, course completion, promotional events, or other incentives. These balances exist exclusively within ACCE’s internal ledger and are not transferred, recorded, or otherwise settled on any public blockchain at this time.

  2. Deferred On‑Chain Distribution. ACCE intends to distribute ACCE tokens on‑chain at a future date, subject to obtaining all relevant regulatory approvals, completing necessary technical integrations, and implementing know‑your‑customer (KYC) and anti‑money‑laundering (AML) controls where required. There is no guarantee that such distribution will occur within any specific timeframe or on the originally envisioned terms.

  3. No Rights Until Distribution. Prior to an on‑chain distribution, your off‑chain balance confers no ownership, voting, economic, or other rights in ACCE, the ACCE ecosystem, or any underlying assets, and cannot be withdrawn, traded, pledged, or otherwise transferred.

  4. Regulatory Classification. Nothing in these Terms or on the Site constitutes, or shall be deemed, a prospectus, securities offering, or solicitation under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, the EU Prospectus Regulation 2017/1129, Portuguese Securities Code (Código dos Valores Mobiliários), or any equivalent law.

6. Educational Content Only

References to staking, tokenomics, governance, or potential returns relate solely to the operational design of the ACCE ecosystem and are illustrative. Past or projected performance is not indicative of future results.

7. Account Registration & Security

Certain features may require creating an account. You must provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. You are responsible for all actions taken through your account.

8. User Conduct & Prohibited Uses

You warrant that you have the right to grant this license and that your content complies with these Terms.
