Terms of Service
The agreement between you and Momintz governing your use of the platform.
1. Acceptance
By connecting a wallet to Momintz and signing the sign-in message, you agree to these Terms of Service and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use Momintz. By signing in you confirm you meet this age requirement.
2. Your account is your wallet
Momintz is non-custodial. Your account is identified by your Solana wallet address; you control your private keys; we never hold them. Losing access to your wallet means losing access to your account — we cannot recover it for you.
You are responsible for: (a) keeping your wallet credentials secure, (b) every transaction signed from your wallet, and (c) every action taken on the platform while your session is active.
3. Beta phase vs. mainnet
Momintz is currently in a closed beta. During the beta, some economic actions — BAWLS balances, tips, validation fees, mint pricing — may be simulated (tracked in our database, not on-chain). The user interface will indicate this where applicable.
At mainnet launch, simulated balances and actions will be settled on-chain in accordance with our published transition plan. Simulated balances are not guaranteed to convert 1:1 and may be subject to verification, KYC, or other requirements communicated in advance.
4. Content you post
You retain ownership of any photo, video, comment, or message you post (“Your Content”). By posting, you grant Momintz a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display Your Content on the platform for the purpose of operating Momintz and providing the service to you and other users.
You represent that Your Content (a) is yours to post, (b) does not infringe anyone's rights, (c) was captured with the informed consent of any identifiable people in it, and (d) honestly represents what it claims to show.
We may remove, hide, or refuse to host Your Content if it violates these Terms, the Community Guidelines, or applicable law. We may also remove content based on community validation outcomes — see Section 5.
5. Community validation and moderation
Momintz uses a community-validator panel to verify the authenticity of moments before they are eligible for boosted visibility or NFT minting. Validators are other platform users who have qualified for the role; they may approve, reject, or fail to reach a quorum on your submission within the published validation window. Their decision is final for in-platform purposes.
We separately reserve the right to hide or remove content and to suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms or applicable law, with or without notice. Trust score reductions and strikes are imposed in accordance with the rules published in the trust score guide.
6. Financial activities and the BAWLS token
Momintz facilitates tips, NFT mints, and BAWLS token utility (validation fees, boost fees, supporter tier signaling). None of these are investments. BAWLS is a utility token, not a security, and you should not buy or hold BAWLS with the expectation of profit derived from the efforts of others.
Nothing on Momintz is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Token prices, NFT secondary-market prices, and tip amounts can fluctuate or go to zero. You are solely responsible for any taxes arising from your use of the platform.
We do not custody your tokens. Tips and on-chain transactions flow directly from your wallet to the recipient's wallet (or to platform treasury wallets disclosed at the time of the transaction); we never hold them in between.
7. KYC and identity verification
For certain actions — including but not limited to higher-value tips, payouts above platform thresholds, and the verified-identity badge — we may require you to complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification through a third-party provider. During the beta this is simulated; at mainnet launch it will be performed by our chosen provider (currently planned to be Persona).
Information you submit for KYC is governed by the Privacy Policy and by the provider's own privacy terms.
8. Prohibited conduct
You agree not to:
- Post content that is illegal, fraudulent, infringing, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit involving minors, or that promotes violence.
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with any individual, organization, or cause.
- Use the platform to launder funds, evade sanctions, or facilitate any other illegal activity.
- Manipulate the validation, trust, or boost systems — including coordinating votes, gaming engagement, or running multiple accounts to circumvent platform limits.
- Scrape, mirror, or rebroadcast platform data outside the channels we provide.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts, wallets, or data.
9. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to Momintz at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or applicable law, or if continued access poses a risk to other users or to the platform. We may also discontinue or change the platform itself; we will give reasonable notice where feasible.
On termination: your right to use the platform ends, and we may delete platform-side data associated with your account. On-chain assets (NFTs minted, BAWLS held, transactions made) remain in your wallet and on Solana — the blockchain is outside our control.
You may delete your account at any time from Settings → Privacy. Deletion is immediate and permanent: it erases your profile, moments, media, and sent messages. NFTs you have already sold or transferred are preserved for their new owners, and value other users earned by engaging with you is kept. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what is erased and what is retained.
10. Disclaimers
Momintz is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy of content.
We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. Solana network conditions, RPC availability, third-party storage providers, and other factors outside our control can affect your experience.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Momintz and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, tokens, NFTs, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the platform.
Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the platform is capped at the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) US $100.
12. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Momintz and its operators harmless from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (a) content you post, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any law or third-party right.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Momintz is organized, without regard to conflict-of- laws rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.
[Counsel: fill in the specific jurisdiction and any arbitration / class-action-waiver provisions appropriate for your launch markets. Consider differentiating between consumer users and the validator pool.]
14. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify you in-app. Continued use after a change takes effect means you accept the new Terms.
