these terms cover your use of this site, debords. by using it, you agree to them. if you do not agree, do not use it.

the site is a way to read and use a public contract on a blockchain. the contract holds pledges and bonds and pays them out by its own rules, which nobody can change once a seal is sealed. debords approves each seal, releases it when its goal is met, and owns the contract's settings for new seals, but cannot move your money, take more than its fee, or reverse a transaction.

you must be an adult where you live and able to agree to these terms. you may not use the site if you are on a sanctions list, are in a place under sanctions, or would break the law by using it. you are responsible for the laws, and the taxes, that apply to you.

you connect your own wallet, and only you control it. keep its keys safe: debords will never ask for them, and nobody can recover them for you. transactions are final once they are on the chain, and the network charges a fee for each one.

you must have the right to publish what you seal. a released text is public and permanent: anyone may read and share it, and nobody can delete it from the chain. you keep whatever rights you have in it.

do not seal anything illegal, anything that infringes someone else's rights, anyone's private information, threats or harassment, or links to harmful software. debords reads every text, hidden words included, before it is sealed, and may refuse one without saying why. it may end a seal before it is released, which refunds everyone in full, stop showing any text at any time, and report illegal content.

if you think a text infringes your copyright, email support@debords.com with its link, the work it copies, and how to reach you.

blockchains carry risks: contracts can have bugs, networks can fail or change, and currencies can lose value. a seal may never be released (if debords cannot release it within three days, everyone is refunded in full), and a bond can be paid out to backers. in an emergency debords may pause new seals, pledges and bonds; releases and claims go on, and debords may end a running seal, which refunds everyone in full. understand how a seal works before you pledge or bond, and put in only what you can afford to lose. nothing on the site is financial, investment, legal or tax advice. translations are made by machine and can be wrong; only the original counts.

debords takes 3% of what changes hands in a seal: the creator's pay, the guarantors' fees and the backers' bonus, at least 50 cents' worth when a text is released, and nothing from anyone's own money coming back. the share a seal pays is fixed when it is sealed. the network charges its own fee for each transaction, and a seal's guarantee fee goes to its guarantors, as the contract sets out.

a pass is a tier of debords as a plan that renews itself, monthly or yearly, until you stop it. it is paid from your wallet to the passes contract at a price the site quotes in the currency you choose, fixed when you take the plan; the quote is good for ten minutes. the network's fee for each pull is debords' to pay; for stopping the renewing it is yours. a month is 30 days and a year 365. what a tier opens is listed on the pricing page and may grow; it may also change, but not for time already paid. a pass is not refunded except where the law requires it, and it is tied to the address that took it.

how it renews: where your wallet can (metamask, as a smart account), it grants the passes contract a permission to take the plan's price, in the currency you chose and at the price quoted when you granted it, once a period and nothing more. the first period is taken when the permission is handed in, unless a pass still runs, and then nothing is taken twice for the same time. each next period is taken the second the previous one ends. a pull that does not go through, because the wallet is short of the price, the permission was revoked or the account is no longer a smart account, is tried again each day for a week, and the pass holds meanwhile; if none goes through, the renewing ends a week after the period was due, and the pass with it. debords takes a period within that week or not at all: if debords pauses passes or cannot reach the chain, nothing is taken until it can, and a period whose week passes meanwhile ends the renewing. you may stop the renewing from your account page at any time, which revokes the permission in your wallet in the same confirmation, or revoke the permission in your wallet yourself; either ends it, the pass running to the end of the last period paid, and what was paid stays paid.

changing plans: a higher tier starts at once, and the time left on your pass is credited at what it cost, as time at the new plan's price, so nothing is taken until that time runs out. a lower tier, the same tier for the other period, or a new permission for the same plan starts when the time paid ends, and the pass stays as it is until then. each plan is pulled with the permission granted for it, never with an older one. the permission is public on the chain, like everything else here.

the feeds, the api and the mcp server may be read by anyone, including programs and ai agents, within the rates the site sets. a key is yours to keep secret; what is done with it counts as done by you, and you may revoke it at any time. do not work around the rates or overload the site. what the feeds return is public information from the chain and may be reused; link to the seal rather than restating a text, since a released text is its creator's.

the site and the contract are provided as they are, with no warranty of any kind, including that they will work, stay available, or be free of errors.

as far as the law allows, debords and the people behind it are not liable for any loss from using the site or the contract, or from being unable to, including lost money, data or profits, and their total liability to you is limited to 100 us dollars.

you agree to cover any claims, costs or damages that come from your use of the site, from the texts you seal, or from your breaking these terms or the law.

we may change these terms; the date at the top says when they last changed, and using the site after a change means you accept it. we may also change or stop the site at any time.
