2.      User Account

Account Registration

Registration of a user account (“Account”) is a requirement for accessing and utilizing any of our Services. Users can register for an account by completing the wallet registration process via the Wallet mobile application. Alternatively, you can open an account by engaging directly with the Axiome Chain, deploying a node to establish your presence on the Network.

To register an account, Users must select a unique nickname to identify themselves within the Axiome ecosystem. Alternatively, if you were referred to the Axiome Chain by another user, you will have the option to provide the nickname of the inviter. Finally, you are required to provide an email address as a reserve contact method. For a more detailed guide on how to commence utilizing Axiome Services and navigating through the initial steps, users can refer to the comprehensive guide available at Axiome First Steps Guide.

By accepting these Terms, you confirm that you are registering an Account for your own use and on your behalf.  Each user, whether a natural person or a legal entity, is permitted to create and operate only one Account. Duplicate Accounts associated with information already submitted to another Account will be subject to suspension.

Account Closure

All Axiome Accounts are registered on the Network, ensuring the permanency of the data associated with your Wallet, such as the Wallet address, within the Axiome ecosystem. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you have the option to initiate the deletion of any and all secondary data, such as your username, email, cache data, and other applicable secondary data, through the settings page of the Axiome mobile application (“App”).

Please note that while you have the ability to delete secondary profile data and cache data, the Wallet and access to your AXM Tokens will remain preserved. Even after the deletion of the secondary data associated with your Account, you can still regain access to it at any time by entering your recovery key (“seed phrase”) during authorization and re-filling your profile details.

By registering an Account, you agree and acknowledge that full closure and deletion of your Wallet is not possible due to the nature of the registration process on the Network and inherent characteristics of the blockchain technology that prevents us from permanently deleting Wallets from the Network.

Suspension and Termination of Services

We retain the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to our Services at our sole discretion under various circumstances, including but not limited to the following:

a. We have reasons to believe that your actions may harm our reputation or have resulted in adverse consequences for Axiome;

b. We are legally obligated to do so by a regulatory authority, court order, law enforcement request, or any other competent authority;

c. There are reasonable grounds to suspect a breach of these Terms or any other applicable agreement;

d. We suspect unauthorized or fraudulent access to your Account, or believe that login into your Account has been initiated without your consent or knowledge, or suspect any other compromise in the security of your Account;

e. There are reasonable grounds to suspect money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or other financial crimes associated with your Account, or your Account is believed to be non-compliant with the applicable laws and regulations and associated with heightened risks regarding regulatory norms and requirements;

f. Your Account is subject to ongoing or pending litigation, investigations, or legal proceedings; and/or

g. Your Account has been involved in any Prohibited Use activities and/or Prohibited Businesses as outlined in these Terms.

In the event of suspension or termination of Services, whether temporarily or permanently, your access to the Services or any part thereof will be ceased without notice and with immediate effect. We reserve the right not to provide you with any reasons for the suspension, restriction, or termination of your access to the Services. You agree and acknowledge that we may not disclose specific reasons for suspension or termination of your access based on internal confidential criteria aimed at maintaining security and complying with relevant legal requirements related to risk mitigation and prevention of illicit activities and financial crime, and that any and all criteria pertaining to the decision-making on modification, restriction, suspension, and termination of your access to our Website, App and/or Services will not be disclosed to you or any unauthorized third parties under any circumstances, except in cases required by applicable law or judicial decision.

We retain the right to share any information submitted to us with competent authorities to ensure compliance with the anti-money laundering and terrorist financing laws and regulations and other relevant legal requirements. This action may be taken if we have substantial grounds to believe that your Account is associated with fraudulent activities, money laundering, terrorism financing, or other financial crimes. Additionally, should we be unable to conclusively ascertain a User's affiliation with any of the aforementioned illicit activities, we may disclose such information to competent authorities for their evaluation.

3.      Fees

Unless expressly communicated by Axiome in connection with the announcement or any other form of communication to Users, you are required to pay any and all transactions fees (“Fees”) associated with your use of the Services at the time of any such use as reflected on the Website and the App. Users should factor in these Fees when engaging in transactions and delegations within the Axiome ecosystem. By using the Axiome platform and its services, users implicitly agree to abide by the Fees outlined herein, including, but not limited to: (a) Network fees payable to blockchain validators, (b) delegation fees based on the delegation amount at the time of each delegation of the AXM Token, (c) undelegation fees charged for each instance of undelegation of the AXM Token, (d) validator reward fees charged by the validator to which the User delegated AXM Tokens from the delegation reward when mining new Tokens, and (e) distribution fees retained by the validators from their delegator’s reward when distributing Network fees.

Please note that the calculation of Network fees is contingent upon the workload of the blockchain and the specific nature of the transaction. While the Fees specified under limbs (b) to (e) of this Section are fixed (“Fixed Fees”), it is crucial to recognize that Network fees reflected under limb (a) (“Network Fees”) may fluctuate based on various factors. In addition to the foregoing, by using the Services, you understand and acknowledge that the decision to raise or lower the Fees rests solely within our discretion.

While we try to ensure that information about the Fees provided in these Terms as well as on the Website and the App remains accurate and up-to-date, the actual Fees paid by you in connection with your use of our Services and interaction with the blockchain may vary from the information and estimates reflected in these Terms as well as on our Website and App. By engaging with our Services, you agree that you have made yourself informed about the dynamic nature of Network Fees and exercise due diligence in understanding the associated costs of their transactions within the Axiome ecosystem by appropriate means that may include reviewing and verifying all Network Fees at the time of the execution of the transaction or after its execution through the open blockchain explorer accessible on the Website and familiarizing yourself with the volume and structure of the Fixed Fees on the Website and/or the App.

4.      Wallet

Axiome Wallet (the “Wallet”), is a non-custodial software tool that allows you to store and delegate your AXM Tokens. The non-custodial nature of the Wallet means that you hold sole control over your Tokens and are solely responsible for any and all acts performed with the Tokens, including but not limited to any transactions in and out of the Wallet, as well as your private keys. By creating a Wallet, it generates a set of encrypted keys, one public and one private, for your disposal. Encrypted keys may be used for receiving and sending AXM Tokens funds via the Network.

Wallet offers two distinct types of wallets to facilitate various functionalities: the Primary Wallet and the Delegation Wallet. Each serves specific purposes outlined below:

The Primary Wallet allows you to:

        Generate wallet addresses and associated private keys, facilitating the sending and receiving of AXM Tokens;

        Store non-delegated (‘free’) AXM Tokens that do not generate rewards;

        Delegate and transfer AXM Tokens directly from the Primary Wallet;

        Access AXM Token price information and transaction history through the Wallet's interface.

The Delegation Wallet allows you to:

        Stake AXM Tokens through the 'delegated proof of stake' (“DPoS”) mechanism. Upon delegation to Axiome Chain validators, Tokens automatically transfer from the Primary Wallet to the Delegation Wallet;

        Accumulate rewards for delegated tokens within the Delegation Wallet, continuously earning rewards for delegation;

        Undelegate AXM Tokens, meaning to withdraw all delegated Tokens back to the Primary Wallet, and

        Withdraw accumulated rewards from delegating AXM Tokens to the Primary Wallet.

Users are encouraged to utilize the functionalities of both the Primary and Delegation Wallets to maximize their engagement with the Axiome ecosystem. By creating a Wallet you warrant that you understand the distinctions and capabilities of each wallet type to effectively manage your AXM tokens and participation within the Network. For further guidance or inquiries regarding Wallet functionalities, you may refer to the User Manual.

Wallet Risk Disclaimer

We accept only AXM Token for transaction purposes. You agree and acknowledge that your use of our Wallet should be limited in regards to the specific virtual asset supported by the Wallet, specifically the native AXM Token. We shall not be liable for any attempt or event to store any unsupported Virtual Currency in your Wallet, deliberately or accidentally, and consequences arising from an act thereof.

You further acknowledge that the secure disposal and storage of your private and public keys is your sole responsibility. You must ensure the availability of a backup of all your data in regards to the Wallet, including but not limited to Wallet credentials, passphrases, identifiers, public and private keys, and Network addresses. We shall not be responsible nor liable for storing the said data and shall not be responsible for providing you a copy of the said data in the event of deliberate or accidental deletion, disposal, or loss of the data in question. You further understand that failure to store a backup of data in question may result in an inability to access and/or use your Wallet and AXM Tokens stored in it, including in the event of discontinuation or termination of certain Services.

Completion of any transaction is performed by recording a transaction in a relevant decentralized ledger, therefore confirming it in a network. Please note that blockchain networks are decentralized and peer-to-peer in nature. Therefore, we are not responsible for any confirmation of any transaction in regards to the AXM Token, as we exercise no control over the Network it is native to. You further acknowledge that your transactions may be delayed, or not be completed, in connection with the above-mentioned reasons. In addition, you acknowledge that for the same reasons, your transaction with the Token may not be reversed, cancelled, or modified once it has been placed.

The above-mentioned disclaimer of risk and reasons thereof apply to a similar extent to any event of a fork or other Network disruption. You understand that any such event, including forks, may lead to interruptions, delays, and partial or incorrect completions of transactions involving the Token, for which we shall assume no liability.

Delegation Program

By engaging with the DPoS delegation program ("Delegation Program"), you authorize a third party to stake AXM Tokens on your behalf, functioning as a transaction validator within the Network. In the event that a block of transactions is successfully validated through the utilization of such staked Tokens, the Network grants a corresponding reward (“Reward”). You explicitly acknowledge and consent that Axiome bears no responsibility for any of the following: (a) Your participation in and utilization of the Delegation Program; (b) Ensuring the continuity of Delegation on an uninterrupted and ongoing basis, and (c) Guaranteeing the staking or continuous staking of Tokens on your behalf.

You further agree and acknowledge that due to the inherent nature of the DPoS mechanism, the Delegation Program is fully autonomous and operates independently of Axiome’s control. As such, any actions or outcomes resulting from your involvement in, participation in and/or the use of the Delegation Program lies outside of Axiome's scope of responsibility. You should exercise due diligence and caution when participating in the Delegation Program, understanding the inherent risks and benefits associated with delegation activities through the DPoS mechanism. Should you require further clarification or assistance regarding the Delegation Program, we encourage you to seek guidance from the User Manual and refer to it for additional information.

Retrieval of Keys and Credentials

We shall not be liable for not assisting you in retrieving, storing, or providing copies of any Wallet passwords, keys, network addresses or transaction history. You are solely responsible for the secure storage of Wallet credentials, passwords, keys, passphrases, identifiers, and network addresses. You further acknowledge that failure to ensure secure storage of the above-mentioned data may result in an inability to access and use your Wallet as well as its retrieval by unauthorized third parties. Additionally, you should review your storage and security measures regularly to ensure safe storage of your data, including passwords, backup phrases and identifiers.

You should exercise caution and responsibility regarding the handling and safeguarding of your private keys. Private keys are generated on the User's side, within the App, utilizing the Cryptographically Secure Random Number Generation (“CSRNG”) method. The keys are then securely stored and protected using the device's keychain, adhering to strict security protocols for both iOS and Android platforms. Private keys are not transferred from the Network and remain solely stored on the User's device, enhancing security measures.

All account data within the Axiome ecosystem is generated based on the private key and remains immutable once created. Therefore, in the event of key loss or compromise, Axiome emphasizes that it cannot intervene or rectify the situation. Users are solely responsible for the protection and retention of their private keys. By engaging with the Services and creating the Wallet, you understand and acknowledge that there is no mechanism for altering the private key post-compromise, as all account-related data is connected to the original private key.

Nevertheless, in the event of private key compromise or loss, users are advised to take immediate action by creating a new account and transferring all AXM Tokens to the newly generated account.

AXM Token Ownership

Any AXM Tokens that you hold in your Wallet are your property. By no means shall we access and use any Tokens held in your Wallet for the purposes of transferring the ownership, loaning the said funds to you and third parties, claiming interests over the said funds on our or third parties’ behalf, etc.

As an owner of the AXM Tokens in your Wallet, you acknowledge the risks associated with buying and selling the Token (for more information, please see Annex 1 to these Terms). We shall not be liable for any losses as well as fluctuations in rates and value of the Token deposited into your Wallet;

We will not under any circumstances loan, transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of your Tokens deposited in your Wallet or engage with the Tokens in your Wallet in any other manner. As such, your Tokens will never be transferred, processed, and engaged with by us in any manner whatsoever.
