Terms & Licensing

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing Kardian World, connecting a wallet, creating an account, or otherwise using the platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use Kardian World.

2. Eligibility & Accounts

You must be legally able to enter a binding agreement in your jurisdiction to use Kardian World. You are responsible for the security of your wallet and account, and for all activity that occurs through it. Kardian World never asks for your private keys or seed phrase.

3. Use of Kardian World

Kardian World gives you access to a shared metaverse economy — including lands, marketplace listings, DAO governance, and on-chain assets. You agree to use the platform only for lawful purposes, and not to interfere with its normal operation, exploit vulnerabilities, or misrepresent your identity to defraud other citizens.

4. NFTs, Digital Assets & Licensing

When you purchase or mint an NFT or in-world asset (land, structures, vehicles, equipment, AI companions), you own that on-chain token and receive a personal, non-exclusive license to use, display, and trade the associated content within Kardian World and for lawful secondary resale. Kardian Labs and its creators retain underlying intellectual property rights in the artwork, models, and game systems — purchasing an asset does not transfer copyright, trademark, or the right to mass-reproduce the underlying content outside the platform without written permission.

5. Intellectual Property

The Kardian World name, logo, website design, whitepaper, and original content are the property of Kardian Labs unless otherwise noted. You may not copy, modify, or redistribute site content for commercial purposes without prior written consent.

6. User Conduct

You agree not to harass other citizens, distribute malware, attempt unauthorized access to smart contracts or accounts, manipulate markets through wash trading or exploits, or use the platform for money laundering or other illegal activity. Violations may result in suspension of platform access at Kardian World's discretion; on-chain assets themselves remain governed by the underlying smart contracts, not by Kardian World.

7. Blockchain & Smart Contract Risks

Kardian World runs on Ethereum-based smart contracts. Blockchain transactions are irreversible, gas fees and network conditions are outside our control, and smart contracts — despite independent audits — may contain unknown vulnerabilities. You acknowledge these risks and agree that Kardian World is not liable for losses caused by network congestion, wallet compromise, or third-party protocol failures.

8. No Investment Advice; Not Securities

Nothing on this platform is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, and nothing here constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. DIAN, KDU, and any in-world NFTs are utility and governance tools within Kardian World, not investment products, and their value may fluctuate or fall to zero. You are solely responsible for evaluating whether interacting with Kardian World is appropriate for you, including any regulatory restrictions that apply in your jurisdiction.

9. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

Kardian World is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kardian Labs is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform, including loss of tokens, NFTs, or data.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Kardian Labs, its team, and affiliates harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of Kardian World, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Kardian World platform at any time for violation of these Terms or for conduct that harms other citizens or the platform. Termination of platform access does not affect your ownership of on-chain assets, which exist independently of Kardian World on the underlying blockchain.

12. Dispute Resolution

We encourage you to contact us first to resolve any dispute informally. Where permitted by applicable law, any dispute arising from these Terms that cannot be resolved informally will be handled on an individual basis and not as part of a class, collective, or representative action.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as Kardian World evolves. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to Kardian Labs' place of operation, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where local consumer protection law requires otherwise.

15. Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Kardian Labs regarding your use of Kardian World.

16. Contact
