🤝General Terms of Use
Welcome to BlockBook, a platform operated by TQOE Lda. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the BlockBook platform and its associated services (collectively, the "Platform"). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any other rules or policies referenced herein. If you do not agree to these Terms, please refrain from using the Platform.
These Terms of Use (also referred to as "Terms and Conditions" or "T&C") constitute a legally binding agreement (the "Agreement") between you (referred to as "you," "your," "User," or "Contributor") and TQOE Lda. ("we," "us," "our," or "BlockBook"). They govern your use of all services offered on the Platform (the "Services"). If you have any questions about your rights or obligations under these Terms, please contact us at support@blockbook.app.
Acceptance of These Terms of Use
By registering an account, submitting content, linking social media accounts, or otherwise using our Services, you confirm that you are at least 16 years old and that you have read, understood, and accept these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms or are under 16 years of age, you are not permitted to use the Services.
Our Creative Community and Services
BlockBook is designed to empower a global creative community by enabling Contributors to submit content directly to campaign environments hosted by various Brands. In this context, a "Brand" can be an influential individual, a consumer-facing company, an agency, an entertainment entity, or a Web3 project. These campaign environments are referred to as “BlockBooks.”
Content submitted to a BlockBook appears as a published “block” and is showcased to the Brand’s audience. Depending on the campaign, Brands may offer personalized rewards for top-performing or selected submissions. All campaign rewards, terms, and participation criteria are disclosed in advance through the relevant campaign interface.
Contributors can submit general content or participate in Sparks—which are campaign-based content activations similar to contests. Each Spark has its own set of rules, objectives, and intellectual property (IP) terms. Brands initiate Sparks by providing creative assets and guidelines, and Contributors then remix, reinterpret, or generate new content based on the campaign brief. This structure allows creators to actively participate in the BlockBook ecosystem.
Each Spark is governed by specific terms that may override these general Terms of Use in case of any conflict. Contributors are responsible for reviewing and accepting the specific IP terms of each Spark before making a submission. These Spark-specific terms define the scope of IP ownership and usage rights for the submitted content, which may include:
Full IP retention by the Contributor – The creator keeps complete ownership of their content.
Conditional IP transfer – The creator transfers IP rights under certain conditions (for example, only if their content is selected as a winner).
Complete assignment of IP rights to the Brand – The Brand receives full ownership of the content under the conditions stated in the Spark.
BlockBook enhances content discoverability and visibility by indexing and distributing all approved content through the Platform’s interface and via the Brand’s social channels or social graph. This ensures that creative contributions gain exposure to the broad audience connected with the Brand.
Brands and Their Role on BlockBook
On BlockBook, Brands are verified individuals or organizations (such as consumer brands, public figures, creative agencies, entertainment companies, and Web3 projects) that launch creative campaigns called Sparks. Each Spark is a time-limited campaign where the Brand sets a clear objective, provides branded assets, outlines content guidelines, and defines a reward pool. Users from the Brand’s community or audience are then invited to create and submit content inspired by the Spark’s brief, which they publish on their own social media profiles (e.g., TikTok, X (Twitter), YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook).
Brands on BlockBook are responsible for:
Content Integrity: Uploading only original or properly licensed content to serve as inspiration for the campaign. All campaign materials (videos, images, audio, text, etc.) must be copyright-free or used with necessary permissions.
IP Terms: Setting clear intellectual property terms for the Spark (for example, specifying whether Users retain ownership of their submissions or whether and how the Brand can use the submitted content).
Rewards: Defining the reward mechanics (e.g., types of rewards and selection criteria) and fulfilling all promised rewards to contributors in a timely manner.
Campaign Management: Reviewing submissions, shortlisting finalists, and spotlighting notable content using BlockBook’s provided tools.
While BlockBook provides the infrastructure to track performance metrics, manage submissions, and automate certain reward distributions, the Brand remains solely accountable for honoring its promises and operating within legal boundaries. By launching a Spark, the Brand accepts full liability for the campaign and agrees to abide by BlockBook’s platform rules as well as these Terms. This includes delivering any advertised rewards and ensuring that all campaign activities comply with applicable laws and with this Agreement.
Users and Content Participation on BlockBook
Users—including fans, creators, and members of a Brand’s audience—can participate in Sparks by creating content inspired by the Brand’s creative prompt. Participation is free for anyone with a registered BlockBook account. To join a Spark as a contributor:
Obtain Campaign Assets: Download the Brand’s campaign asset kit and review the Spark’s brief and guidelines.
Create Your Submission: Develop original or remixed content aligned with the campaign brief (for example, you might create AI-edited visuals, mashup videos, voiceovers, or scene recreations using the provided assets).
Publish on Social Media: Post your content on your linked social media accounts (such as TikTok, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, or Facebook) as required by the Spark instructions.
Earn Creator Credits: Ensure your BlockBook account is linked to your posts. As people engage with your content (through likes, shares, comments/replies, and views), you earn Creator Credits (CCs) based on verified engagement metrics which represent dollar earnings.
All user submissions undergo a moderation process (using automated tools and human review) to ensure they comply with the Spark’s rules and BlockBook’s community standards. Content that passes moderation is approved and becomes eligible for engagement tracking. Creator Credits are tallied and updated every 24 hours based on your content’s performance.
Users can redeem their accumulated Creator Credits for monetary rewards (for example, in U.S. Dollars) once they meet the minimum redemption threshold. To withdraw these rewards, you will need to link a supported payout method or account. 1 CC is equivalent to a fixed $1 USD in value. Payouts are issued in USD stablecoin and, soon, fiat currency by default (reflecting the value of your CCs in dollars). Please note that you must meet any stated minimum credit balance before requesting a payout.
While BlockBook automates content visibility and credit calculations, each Brand is solely responsible for delivering the actual rewards promised in their campaign. The Brand also enforces its own campaign IP terms and is in charge of selecting or featuring top submissions.
Users who do not contribute content can still engage with the Platform. Even as an observer, you may explore ongoing Sparks, view submissions, and support creators by liking or sharing content—provided you have an active BlockBook account.
By submitting content to a Spark, you confirm that you understand and accept that Spark’s specific IP and content usage terms. You also guarantee that your work is original and does not infringe upon any third-party rights. Furthermore, you agree to abide by these Terms and any additional campaign rules when participating.
No Artificial Engagement: Users are strictly prohibited from using bots, fake accounts, or any form of automation to inflate their content’s engagement metrics. You may not attempt to manipulate the performance of your submissions (or others’ submissions) through any fraudulent or artificial means. BlockBook reserves the right to take immediate action against such behavior. This may include:
Permanent suspension of the offending account.
Forfeiture of all accumulated Creator Credits and any pending rewards.
Disqualification from current and future Spark campaigns.
BlockBook alone will determine what constitutes fraudulent activity or manipulation, and all decisions in this regard are made at BlockBook’s sole discretion.
Submitted Content and Associated Rights
When you submit content to a Spark, you represent and warrant that your work is original to you and does not violate any copyright, trademark, or other rights of any third party. You retain ownership of the content you create and submit, except in cases where a Spark’s specific terms explicitly stipulate a different arrangement (such as a transfer of rights to the Brand).
Each Brand defines the licensing terms for its Spark campaign. These campaign-specific terms will outline how both you and the Brand are permitted to use the submitted content. For example, a Spark’s terms may specify that submissions are limited to:
Non-commercial use only: Your content (and any Brand-provided assets within it) can only be used for personal or engagement purposes and cannot be sold or commercially exploited by any party.
Limited commercial use: Your content can be used in monetized contexts (e.g., earning ad revenue on social platforms or receiving Creator Credit rewards on BlockBook), but there may be some restrictions on resale or broad commercial distribution.
Full commercial licensing: Your content may be licensed or used commercially by the Brand (or by you) as permitted, potentially contingent on performance or selection (for example, winners might grant the Brand a license to use the content in marketing).
BlockBook’s role is to facilitate these campaigns and to ensure that Brands clearly communicate the scope of permissible use for any provided assets and for user submissions. We provide the technical infrastructure for content submission, distribution, and the management of IP-related metadata, but BlockBook does not take ownership of your submitted content.
As a Contributor, you are granted certain rights and benefits when participating in a Spark:
You may use the Brand’s provided assets only for the purpose of creating and submitting content to that Spark, and only in line with the campaign’s specified licensing scope and creative guidelines.
You retain the intellectual property rights to your original contributions, regardless of the outcome of the campaign, unless a specific Spark term clearly requires you to transfer or license those rights to the Brand.
You earn Creator Credits (CCs) based on the genuine engagement your content receives across social media platforms (measured via views, likes, shares, and replies, as verified by the Platform).
You can redeem your accumulated Creator Credits for monetary rewards (e.g., converting CCs to USD payouts) once you meet the eligibility criteria and follow the redemption procedure.
By submitting content, you agree to follow the campaign’s rules for content use and licensing. You understand the scope of the license you receive from the Brand (for using their assets) and the license or rights you may be granting to the Brand or BlockBook (where specified by the Spark’s terms).
BlockBook strives to maintain transparency in how content and IP rights are handled on the Platform. We do not claim any ownership over user-submitted content, and your rights to your work remain yours except where you have explicitly agreed to share or transfer those rights under a Spark’s terms.
The Funding System
BlockBook uses a performance-based accounting mechanism to fairly and transparently distribute campaign rewards. Brands deposit funds in USD, and those funds are distributed using a proprietary engagement score that evaluates content performance across social media (likes, shares, replies, and views).
These funds are represented internally as Creator Credits (CCs) to allocate rewards within the system. CCs are not a stored value or currency, and they cannot be transferred, traded, or purchased. They are a closed accounting unit representing dollars earned through performance.
The reward pool is allocated to Contributors in two primary ways:
Performance-Based Distribution: The majority of the CC reward pool is distributed proportionally to Users based on the verified engagement their submissions receive. In other words, the more genuine likes, shares, replies, and views your content accumulates (relative to other submissions in the Spark), the more credits you earn from the pool.
Spotlight Tipping: Brands have the option to allocate a portion of the reward pool as bonus credits to highlight and reward standout submissions. A Brand may “spotlight” certain content that exemplifies creativity, effort, or alignment with the campaign’s objectives, and grant additional CCs to those creators. Spotlighted content may also receive increased visibility on the Platform.
Contributors accumulate CCs through these mechanisms over the course of the campaign. You can request to redeem your earned CCs for cash (currently in the form of USD stablecoin, with fiat options such as Wise coming soon) once you have met any minimum redemption thresholds set by the Platform. Payouts are currently fulfilled in USD stablecoin and will soon also be available in fiat currency via official providers.
This funding system is designed to reward authentic engagement and creative effort while allowing Brands to directly incentivize their community in a transparent and compliant manner.
Ownership of Creations You Share
Except where otherwise specified in a particular Spark’s terms, any content you create and share through a Spark campaign remains your intellectual property. Brands that launch Sparks are required to outline what licensing rights they are asking for when you participate—whether they only need a limited right to use your content for promotional purposes or whether they intend to obtain broader usage or ownership rights. Always review the Spark’s specific terms to understand what rights you are granting to the Brand.
BlockBook does not claim ownership of any content you submit. Our Platform serves as a neutral host and facilitator for the creative process. We enable:
The submission and distribution of your content to the Brand’s campaign and audience.
The recording of pertinent information about your content and any applicable IP rights or licenses (to ensure clarity on who owns what and how content can be used).
The processes for content moderation, display on the Platform, and reward redemption associated with your submissions.
In essence, BlockBook provides the tools and infrastructure, but the creative works remain yours unless you explicitly agree to transfer them. If a Spark’s terms include an exclusive license or a full transfer of IP rights to the Brand (for example, some contests might require that winning entries become the property of the Brand), those conditions will be clearly stated before you submit to that Spark. You are never obligated to surrender rights to your work unless you voluntarily choose to participate under such terms.
You retain the right to use your own content for other purposes outside of BlockBook, unless the Spark’s terms explicitly place restrictions on doing so (such as a requirement that you not reuse the content elsewhere, or that you grant exclusivity to the Brand). If any such restrictions or transfer of rights are part of a Spark, you will be informed of them in advance as part of that campaign’s rules.
Please note that BlockBook’s own trademarks, logos, and branding (the “BlockBook” name, logo, etc.) remain our exclusive property. Likewise, all third-party trademarks or assets (for example, Brand logos or media provided in a campaign) remain the property of their respective owners and are used on the Platform solely in accordance with the campaign’s terms and the owners’ permissions. Nothing in these Terms or on the Platform grants you any rights to use any third-party intellectual property outside of your participation in a Spark, and then only in the ways that the Spark explicitly allows.
By participating in Spark campaigns, you agree to respect all intellectual property boundaries set forth by both the Brands and BlockBook. You acknowledge that your use of any Brand assets will follow the Spark’s specific guidelines, and any use of your submitted content by the Brand or others will adhere to the licensing terms you agreed to in that campaign.
Obligations of the Brands
Brands that launch Spark campaigns on BlockBook must adhere to the following obligations:
Content Integrity: Once user-submitted content is approved and published as part of a Spark, the Brand may not unilaterally remove, alter, or misuse that content. Brands should honor the integrity of creator submissions. Removals or alterations are only permitted if the content violates the Spark’s guidelines or is deemed inappropriate under BlockBook’s community standards (in which case BlockBook’s moderation policies will apply).
Legal Compliance: Brands must ensure that all materials they upload or provide for a Spark (including videos, images, audio, text, or other assets) are either original to the Brand or properly licensed for the intended use. The Brand is solely responsible for securing any necessary rights and permissions for these campaign assets. BlockBook is not liable for any copyright or IP violations in the Brand’s provided materials.
Originality and Liability: By providing content and prompts for a Spark, the Brand confirms that using these materials in user submissions will not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights. The Brand accepts full liability for any claims or legal issues that arise from the use of the Brand’s campaign content. In the event of a dispute or claim (such as a copyright infringement allegation related to the Brand’s materials), the Brand agrees to compensate BlockBook for any damages, losses, or legal fees incurred due to such issues.
Indemnification of Platform: Brands agree to indemnify and hold BlockBook (including our affiliates and users) harmless from any losses, liabilities, or costs (including reasonable legal fees) that result from:
The Brand’s failure to deliver promised rewards or fulfill campaign obligations.
Any misrepresentation by the Brand regarding the campaign’s licensing or IP terms.
Content or assets provided by the Brand for the Spark (for example, if the Brand’s provided media is used without proper permission and a third party takes legal action).
Any legal disputes initiated by third parties that stem from the Brand’s campaign or conduct on the Platform.
Respectful Conduct: Brands must conduct themselves in a professional and respectful manner on BlockBook. This means refraining from any behavior or public communications that could harm the reputation of BlockBook, its community, partners, or other users. Harassing, defamatory, or offensive behavior by a Brand (or its representatives) is strictly prohibited.
Content Usage Rights to BlockBook: The Brand grants BlockBook the right to use and display the Brand’s name, logo, and any campaign-related media assets solely for the purposes of operating the Spark and promoting it within the Platform. For example, BlockBook may show the Brand’s logo and campaign images on the Spark page, in promotional emails, or in presentations showcasing the platform. BlockBook will not use the Brand’s content outside of the Platform’s context without permission.
Intellectual Property Rights Management: Any intellectual property created by the Brand (such as the Brand’s own campaign assets or original content uploaded to BlockBook) remains the Brand’s property. However, BlockBook may act as a neutral host or repository for campaign content and related assets as part of providing the Spark infrastructure. Brands must also respect the ownership and licensing of user-generated content as defined by each Spark’s terms — meaning Brands can only use submissions in accordance with the permissions granted by the creators.
Platform Interaction: By running a campaign on BlockBook, Brands acknowledge that Users might remix or adapt the Brand’s campaign materials in their submissions (within the boundaries of the Spark’s rules). This collaborative creative process is core to BlockBook’s value. Brands should not unduly restrict derivative creativity beyond what is specified in the Spark terms. BlockBook will facilitate these creative interactions and will not prevent Users from interpreting the Brand’s prompt in various creative ways, so long as they remain within the allowed scope.
No Promotion Guarantee: BlockBook will make the Spark visible on the Platform and to the Brand’s connected audience as part of normal operations, but BlockBook is not obligated to provide any additional promotion or marketing for the Brand’s campaign beyond the standard platform features. Any extra promotion (for example, featuring the Spark on BlockBook’s home page or social media channels) is at BlockBook’s discretion.
Perpetual Media Rights for Platform: BlockBook reserves the right to feature the Brand’s campaign and associated content in its own promotional materials, case studies, or archives, even after the Spark concludes. For instance, BlockBook might include a screenshot or description of the Brand’s Spark in a portfolio of successful campaigns or keep the Spark’s content accessible as part of a historical archive. This usage will be limited to the context of showcasing the Platform’s functionality and community creativity.
Funding and Reward Distribution: By using BlockBook, the Brand authorizes BlockBook to manage the distribution of the Spark’s reward pool (the Creator Credits) according to the rules the Brand configured. BlockBook will handle the technical aspects of tracking engagement and allocating credits. The Brand is responsible for ensuring the reward pool is adequately funded and for approving any manual rewards (like spotlight tipping) through the provided tools.
Use of the Services & Community Guidelines
When using the BlockBook Platform and Services, you agree to act lawfully, respectfully, and in a manner that contributes to a positive creative community. Any misuse of the Platform, Sparks, or community features can result in immediate suspension or a permanent ban from BlockBook.
Prohibited Conduct: You may not use the Platform (including any Spark or community feature) to:
Harm, disrupt, or interfere with the security or performance of BlockBook or our users’ data. This includes attempting to bypass security measures, overloading the system, or launching any form of malicious attack.
Violate any applicable law or regulation, or infringe upon the rights of others (including intellectual property rights and privacy rights).
Post or share content that is offensive, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, harassing, hateful, or discriminatory, or that otherwise violates good standards of conduct.
Upload or distribute malware, viruses, or any malicious code that could compromise the Platform or other users’ devices.
Misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or impersonate any other person or entity (including other users or Brands).
Engage in any activity that undermines the integrity of BlockBook’s services or reputation. This includes attempting to decompile or reverse-engineer the Platform, or using the Platform in a way not authorized by BlockBook.
Botting, Engagement Farming & Artificial Manipulation
BlockBook strictly prohibits any attempt to manipulate engagement metrics or exploit the reward system. Any behavior aimed at “gaming” the system is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to:
Using bots, scripts, click farms, fake accounts, or any automated means to artificially inflate views, likes, shares, or comments on content.
Coordinating with groups or using multiple accounts to repeatedly boost engagement in a non-genuine way solely to increase Creator Credit earnings.
Copy-pasting, reposting, or spamming identical or low-effort content across multiple Sparks to gain visibility or rewards without providing real creative value.
If a user is found to be engaging in any form of artificial engagement or fraudulent activity, BlockBook reserves the right to take immediate action. Such action may include removing or disqualifying the content, permanently banning the user from the Platform, and forfeiting any accumulated Creator Credits or rewards. BlockBook may audit content and engagement patterns at any time (using both internal monitoring and external analytic tools) to enforce these rules. All decisions regarding fraudulent activity and enforcement are made at BlockBook’s sole discretion.
Platform Security & Access: You must not attempt to access areas of the Platform or servers that are not intended for public use. Any attempt to bypass access restrictions, to test the vulnerability of our systems, or to breach any security or authentication measures is prohibited. Similarly, you are not allowed to tamper with or remove any rights management information, digital watermarking, or security features embedded in the Platform or in any content. Unauthorized collection of user data or campaign metadata (for example, scraping information without permission) is also strictly forbidden.
Data Use & Privacy: Use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal data. By creating a BlockBook account or participating in a Spark, you acknowledge that you have read the Privacy Policy and consent to the data practices it describes.
Security Measures
BlockBook is committed to maintaining a secure and reliable Platform. We implement a range of security measures to protect our systems and users; however, no platform is 100% immune to risks. We do not guarantee that the Platform will be free of viruses, malware, or other harmful components at all times. We encourage you to use up-to-date security software on your devices and to exercise caution when interacting with any online service.
To preserve the integrity and performance of our Services, BlockBook may occasionally need to impose temporary restrictions or take proactive measures without prior notice. For example, we may:
Temporarily limit or throttle certain activities or access for users in order to prevent abuse or system overload.
Block specific IP addresses or user accounts that are detected engaging in suspicious, harmful, or unauthorized activities.
Suspend accounts or content that pose security risks or violate these Terms.
Take the Platform offline for maintenance, updates, or security upgrades (we strive to schedule maintenance during low-usage periods when possible).
These actions are intended to protect our community and infrastructure. We understand that they may be inconvenient, but they are sometimes necessary to ensure the long-term security and viability of BlockBook.
Service Availability and Access Restrictions
While we strive to keep BlockBook available and fully functional at all times, we may suspend or restrict access to the Platform (in whole or in part) for various reasons. Such cases include:
Security or Safety Concerns: We may limit or block access if needed to protect the security of user data, communications, or our systems (for example, in response to a detected attack or critical vulnerability).
Maintenance and Upgrades: Periodic maintenance, system updates, or improvements may require us to temporarily take the Platform offline or disable certain features. We aim to minimize disruption, but emergency fixes or updates might occur without notice.
Legal Compliance: Changes in laws or regulations, or orders from government authorities, might necessitate restricting access to certain features, users, or regions to ensure compliance.
Detection of Misuse: If we suspect a user or group of users is engaging in fraud, abuse, unauthorized data scraping, botting, or any activity prohibited by these Terms, we may suspend or restrict their access (either temporarily during investigation or permanently).
Protecting the Community: Any behavior that threatens the stability of the Platform, the fairness of Sparks, or the well-being of the community can result in access restrictions. This includes activities that could overburden our infrastructure or significantly harm BlockBook’s reputation.
BlockBook reserves the right to shut down the Platform or disable specific features at our discretion, whether temporarily or permanently, with or without prior notice. We also reserve the right to ban or refuse service to users whose repeated behavior is harmful, toxic, or contrary to the spirit of the community and Spark campaigns. This includes rejecting content contributions from such users or removing them from ongoing and future campaigns.
Termination of Use
We hope to foster a long-term creative community, but you should be aware that BlockBook may terminate or restrict your access to the Platform and Services at any time, for any reason or no stated reason. This includes (but is not limited to) situations involving your violation of these Terms, suspected fraudulent or illegal activities, or actions that we determine are harmful to the BlockBook ecosystem or other users. Such termination may occur without prior notice. If your account is terminated, you may lose access to any content or credits associated with your account, subject to our data retention policies and the terms of any specific Spark.
Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless BlockBook (TQOE Lda.), along with our officers, directors, employees, partners, affiliates, and agents, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that arise out of or relate to:
Your access to or use of the Platform and Services.
Any content you submit (or that is submitted from your account), including any intellectual property disputes or allegations that your content infringes or misappropriates the rights of a third party.
Any breach or violation of these Terms by you.
Your violation of any applicable law or regulation in connection with your activities on BlockBook.
Any claim from a third party based on your actions, content, or information on the Platform.
You agree to cooperate with us in good faith in the defense of any such claim. We reserve the right to assume exclusive control of the defense of any matter subject to indemnification by you (at our own expense), and you agree not to settle any such matter without our prior written consent.
Disclaimer of Warranties
Your use of BlockBook is at your own risk. The Platform and all Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, BlockBook disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, regarding the Platform and Services. This includes, but is not limited to:
Implied Warranties: We do not provide any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. In plain terms, we are not making promises that the Platform will meet all of your needs, work perfectly for any specific purpose you have in mind, or operate without error.
Service Quality and Uptime: BlockBook does not guarantee that the Platform will be continuously available, uninterrupted, or error-free at all times. We do not warrant that any specific outcomes or results (for example, success in a campaign or a certain level of engagement for your content) will be achieved through the use of the Platform.
We make no promises or guarantees about any potential earnings or value you may obtain through the Platform. Creator Credits and campaign rewards are provided as described, but they are not guaranteed to have monetary value beyond what is explicitly stated (e.g., 1 CC = 1 USD for redemption purposes). We are not responsible for any assumptions you make about the amount of rewards or benefits you will gain.
Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances will BlockBook, TQOE Lda., or any of our affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Platform or Services. This limitation of liability applies to any claim, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, TQOE Lda. (and its affiliated parties) shall not be liable for any damages or losses resulting from:
Service Interruptions: Your use of, or inability to use, the Platform, including any delays, interruptions, errors, data corruption, communication failures, or unauthorized access incidents.
External Issues: Technical failures of external networks or services beyond our control (for example, internet outages, disruptions in social media platforms or other third-party integrations that BlockBook relies on).
Third-Party Services: The suspension, malfunction, or misuse of third-party services, hosting infrastructure, or external APIs that are integrated with or used by the Platform.
Malicious Acts: Illegitimate actions or misconduct by third parties, including hacking, phishing, denial-of-service attacks, or fraud that may affect the Platform or its users.
These liability exclusions and limitations shall not apply to the extent they pertain to BlockBook’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the narrowest extent necessary to make it enforceable (and if modification is not possible, that provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms). In either case, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms in a given instance shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
Changes and Amendments
TQOE Lda. reserves the right to amend, modify, update, or remove portions of these Terms of Use at any time. Changes will take effect immediately upon being posted on our website or Platform. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for any updates.
If we make significant changes to the Terms, we will attempt to notify users through appropriate channels (for example, via an announcement on the Platform or an email notification, if you have provided an email address). By continuing to access or use BlockBook after updated Terms have been posted, you will be deemed to have accepted the changes. If you do not agree with any modifications to the Terms, you must stop using the Platform and Services.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Agreement and any disputes arising from or relating to the Terms or your use of the Platform shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Portugal, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You and BlockBook agree that any such disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Lisbon, Portugal, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. You agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objections to the convenience or appropriateness of such venues.
