A more detailed description of the Smart-Contracts may be provided in the Documentation, which does not form a part of these Terms, is provided for the information purposes only and is not binding. Access to, use of, and any other interaction with the Smart-Contracts shall be subject to such rules, limitations and restrictions as implemented in the respective Smart-Contracts.
The Smart-Contracts are open-sourced and implemented on the public blockchain network(s) that operate in a decentralised and autonomous manner. This means that the Smart-Contacts can be reviewed, verified, used, copied, modified, and distributed by anyone (subject to the terms of the applicable licence). You must carefully and thoroughly review and assess the Smart-Contracts and related software before you use them. Always do your own research.
We do not control the underlying blockchain network(s) of the Smart-Contract, and any software through which such networks are formed. Accordingly, in no event shall we be responsible for or held liable in connection with the Smart-Contracts underlying blockchain networks and software, their operation, functioning, implementation, or use, and you hereby assume and accept any and all related risks, including the risk of possible losses and damages that you may incur in connection with the use of any underlying blockchain network(s) and related software through which such networks are formed.
- CONNECTING DIGITAL WALLET
When using the Platform, you may connect your Digital Wallet through one of the compatible third-party software wallets, such as, for illustration purposes only, WalletConnect, MetaMask, TrustWallet, Binance Wallet, etc. The Digital Wallets and software wallets used with the Platform or Smart-Contracts constitute the Third-Party Services and we are not responsible for, do not endorse, shall not be held liable or responsible in connection with, and do not make any warranties, whether express or implied, as to the Digital Wallets and software wallets used by you with the Platform. When using Digital Wallets and software wallets, you should review applicable terms and policies that govern your use thereof.
We never receive access to or control over your Digital Wallets or Digital Assets held in such Digital Wallets. Therefore, you are solely responsible for securing your Digital Assets, Digital Wallet, and credentials thereto (such as private and public keys, seed phrase, passwords, etc.) You may disconnect your Digital Wallet from the Platform at any time.
- FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PLATFORM
General. The functionality of the Platform shall always be determined at our sole discretion and we do not promise nor provide any warranty that certain functionality will be available now or in future, or at any point of time. We may change the functionality of the Platform from time to time at our sole and absolute discretion. We may also at any time suspend or terminate the Platform or any of its elements, components or functionalities, in whole or in part, with or without prior notice.
Staking. You may be allowed to stake (lock) the WWY Tokens in the dedicated Smart-Contracts of the Platform in order to (i) receive certain Staking Rewards, if available, (ii) be eligible to participate in the anticipated IDOs, and/or (iii) for such other purposes as may be established from time to time.
(i) We may from time to time prescribe, change, or update certain requirements, terms, restrictions, and limitations applicable to the staking functionality, such as staking limits, the minimum time for staking, etc. If the staking of the WWY on the Platform is subject to a minimum staking period, you will not be allowed nor able to withdraw, claim, receive, transfer, or otherwise use such WWY Tokens until the expiry of such minimum staking period.
(ii) If in connection with the staking of WWY you are entitled to Staking Rewards, the approximate reward amounts will be normally indicated on the Platform, however, any such indications shall be illustrative. The Staking Rewards are dynamic and fluctuate over time, the amount of reward can change depending on different circumstances, including, but not limited to, the number of persons participating in the staking, the amount of WWY staked in a particular pool, staking term, and other conditions. Therefore, the Staking Rewards indicated on the Platform are indicative and non-binding, and are largely based on the current, historical, or expected performance. We neither warrant nor represent that the Staking Rewards will meet your expectations or match the expected reward amounts indicated or demonstrated on the Platform.
(iii) Upon and subject to the completion of the applicable WWY staking requirements, you will be entitled to receive the respective Staking Rewards accrued, if any. You shall be required to use your dedicated Digital Wallet from which you have staked the WWY to claim the respective Staking Rewards. Any Staking Rewards shall be personal and non-transferable. We will make reasonable efforts to distribute, or to cause a third person to distribute, the Staking Rewards within a reasonable time upon your claim of such rewards through the Platform. Usually, the distribution of the Staking Rewards will be semi-automated through the respective staking Smart-Contracts.
(iv) We reserve the right, acting at our sole and absolute discretion, to amend the amount of Staking Rewards or applicable calculation formulae, as well as to change or cancel the Staking Rewards at any time with or without notice to you, and without any liability.
(v) You will be required to interact with the dedicated staking Smart-Contracts in order to stake or unstake the WWY Tokens, or claim the Staking Rewards. You may use the interface of the Platform to access and interact with the staking Smart-Contracts.
(vi) WWY staking may not be profitable or beneficial for you and you are solely responsible for determining whether to stake the WWY Tokens and for how long. You hereby acknowledge that we do not store, manage or custody the WWY Tokens that you stake, any such WWY Tokens are locked in the dedicated Smart-Contracts and we do not have access to such WWY Tokens.
IDO. From time to time, certain IDOs may be conducted on the Platform.
(i) Subject to the terms set out herein, in an IDO you may purchase a certain portion of IDO Tokens from the applicable IDO Project. In any particular IDO, the IDO Tokens shall be sold by the respective IDO Project the details of which are indicated on the relevant page of the Website relating to such IDO. Any transaction and relationship on the sale and purchase of the IDO Tokens shall be between you and the applicable IDO Project. We only provide the necessary technical infrastructure for such sale and purchase to take place and shall not be a counterparty to the transaction or legal relationship concerning the sale and purchase of the IDO Tokens which shall occur only between you and the applicable IDO Project.
(ii) The terms and conditions of each particular IDO, including the purchase price of the IDO Tokens, shall be determined by the IDO Project and incorporated into the applicable IDO Smart-Contracts. In order to participate in an IDO, you shall be required to complete such staking and/or other requirements as may be determined or otherwise implemented in connection with the respective IDO from time to time (the “IDO Participation Requirements”). The IDO Participation Requirements in every IDO have to be met and/or completed during and/or before the expiry of the applicable term (the “IDO Participation Term”); for example, you may be required to have the required amount of WWY Tokens staked with the Platform throughout the whole IDO Participation Term.
(iii) Every IDO will be separate and distinct, therefore, you will have to complete the IDO Participation Requirements for every IDO you wish to participate in. Your rights to participate in an IDO and purchase the IDO Tokens shall be personal and non-transferable, and shall always be subject to terms and conditions set forth herein.
(iv) The determination of whether you have completed the IDO Participation Requirements, and whether the requirements were completed on time, shall be made by the respective IDO Project and/or us, in each case acting at its or our sole and absolute discretion; any such determination shall be with or without notice to you, shall be final, and cannot be disputed by you. You shall not be allowed to participate in an IDO unless it has been determined that you have completed the IDO Participation Requirements as provided herein. Your participation in any IDO may be rejected at any time with or without reason, and without notice or any liability.
(v) If you are considered to have completed the IDO Participation Requirements as provided herein, depending on your staking amount and staking term, and such other applicable terms as may be established from time to time, you will be allowed to purchase a certain portion of IDO Tokens that are being sold in the relevant IDO. The time for purchasing the IDO Tokens shall be limited. The time period during which you will be able to purchase the IDO Tokens in each particular IDO shall be determined on a case-by-case basis, provided that if such determination hasn’t been made, the time period for purchasing the IDO Tokens will be equal to 12 hours following the expiry of the IDO Participation Term. If you fail to complete the purchase of IDO Tokens within such term, your right to purchase the IDO Tokens in the respective IDO will automatically cease, terminate and be of no further effect, which means that you will not be able to complete the purchase after the expiration of such time period. In certain circumstances, the terms of a particular IDO may allow you to purchase the remaining IDO Tokens that have not been purchased in the IDO, or a portion thereof, after the expiration of the applicable purchase period, on a first come first serve basis.
(vi) In order to purchase the IDO Tokens, you must send the respective purchase amount in the form of BUSD – Binance USD digital cryptographic token – to the designated Smart-Contracts within the applicable purchase period. Subject to the receipt of the purchase amount from your Digital Wallet to the designated Smart-Contracts and other terms and conditions set out herein, you will be allowed to claim and receive the IDO Tokens purchased. In order to receive the IDO Tokens, you shall be required to manually claim the IDO Tokens from the respective Smart-Contracts. You shall be required to use your designated Digital Wallet to send the purchase amount and claim the IDO Tokens purchased, and can do this either using the interface of the Platform or otherwise, for example, by directly interacting with the respective Smart-Contracts. The IDO Tokens will be distributed through the relevant Smart-Contracts, and it shall be your responsibility to transfer the purchase amount and claim the IDO Tokens in accordance with the terms and conditions set out herein. The time for claiming the IDO Tokens purchased may be limited, please refer to the details of the respective IDO Smart-Contracts for further details.
(vii) The IDO Tokens will be subject to certain lock-up and vesting terms and conditions and certain other restrictions (the “Vesting Terms”) as may be established from time to time. Such Vesting Terms shall be determined without your consent and will not require your approval. The Vesting Terms are essentially limitations applicable to the IDO Tokens that you purchase and may imply that, for example, the tokens will be released and can be claimed and received by you gradually over a specific period of time, or in particular instalments throughout the duration of the Vesting Terms, not limited to the above. The Vesting Terms shall be programmed into the applicable Smart-Contracts and, therefore, are an essential term of your purchase of the IDO Tokens. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you about the applicable Vesting Terms by indicating the relevant information on the applicable page of the Website that relates to the respective IDO. Please make sure that you fully understand all applicable Vesting Terms before you participate in the respective IDO.
(viii) The time periods referred to in connection with an IDO, including the Vesting Terms, are normally based on and/or linked to certain events that take place on the blockchain network, for example, adding new blocks to the underlying blockchain network. Therefore, the time periods and Vesting Terms indicated on the Website, including Website page that relates to an IDO, or otherwise communicated to you are indicative, illustrative, and non-binding; actual time periods and Vesting Terms shall be implemented in and governed by the applicable Smart-Contracts.
(ix) Nothing in these Terms or information contained on the Platform or otherwise communicated in connection with the Platform or any IDO is intended to be or constitutes our endorsement or recommendation of any IDO, or IDO Project, or IDO Token, or solicitation to purchase, hold, use, or dispose of any IDO Tokens. You must carefully assess each particular IDO before you make your decision to participate, and any purchase of the IDO Tokens shall be at your own risk and discretion. All and any information concerning an IDO Project and IDO Tokens contained on the Platform or otherwise provided in connection with a particular IDO is collected from the respective IDO Project and constitutes Third-Party Content. Although we make commercially reasonable efforts to verify certain information about the IDO Projects and IDO Tokens, we do not assure, promise, represent, or otherwise guarantee that any such information is accurate, true, correct, up to date, complete or not misleading. You shall conduct your own research and due diligence on the IDO Tokens which you are willing to purchase and the respective IDO Project.
(x) Each IDO shall be subject to all other terms and conditions set forth in these Terms.

You hereby agree and acknowledge that the IDO Tokens are merely utility digital cryptographic tokens that are designed to enable your interaction with third-party blockchain software or protocols, or access to certain functionality related thereto. The IDO Tokens are not redeemable or repurchasable, and do not entitle you to receive any return, passive income or similar payments or benefits. The IDO Tokens shall not be backed by any funds, currencies, or assets.

When you make transactions on or through the Platform, certain Third-Party Costs may arise. For example, when you make a blockchain transaction, the underlying blockchain network will normally charge you a gas fee for processing your transaction. Certain fees may be charged by the software wallet that you use with the Platform. You shall bear any and all Third-party Costs and we will not be responsible for or held liable in connection therewith. We may not be able to notify you about the Third-Party Costs involved in your transactions or provide accurate information about such Third-Party Costs, therefore, you agree to always independently check, review and verify any Third-Party Costs involved in your transactions.
- RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
By accepting these Terms, you hereby warrant that you have read, understood, and acknowledged the risks set out in our Risks Disclosure Statement. You hereby acknowledge, accept, and assume the risks set out therein and represent that the Company Parties shall not be held liable or responsible for any damages or losses arising from or in connection with such risks.
- APPLICABLE LAW
These Terms, as well as any and all relationship between you and us relating to the Platform or any transaction contemplated in these Terms shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to these Terms.
- DISPUTES RESOLUTION
Except for any Disputes in which either party seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and the Company hereby agree to settle and finally resolve any Dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Platform in binding arbitration and in accordance with this Section 31. Binding arbitration is the referral of a Dispute to a qualified person(s) who will review the Dispute and make a final and binding determination, by making an order, to resolve the Dispute.
For any Dispute that you have against us or relating in any way to these Terms or the Platform, you shall first contact us and attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by sending a notice of your claim to us by email at support@wepad.io. Such notice must include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number, describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and set forth the specific relief sought. If we and you cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by the LCIA, in accordance with the terms set forth below.
Any Disputes arising out of or in connection with the Platform, these Terms or any matters contemplated herein, including any question regarding the existence, validity, or termination of these Terms, shall be referred to and finally resolved by the binding arbitration under the London Court of International Arbitration rules, which are deemed to be incorporated by reference herein. The number of arbitrators shall be one (1). The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be London, England. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. You and the Company hereby agreed that the arbitration hearing shall be conducted digitally by conference call, videoconference, or using other communications technology. Any and all notices, requests, demands, and other communications which are required or may be given in connection with the arbitration shall be sent in electronic form, either via email or other electronic means including via any electronic filing system operated by the LCIA. Any and all notices, requests, demands, and other communications sent by electronic means shall be treated as having been received by a recipient on the day it is transmitted (such time to be determined by reference to the recipient’s time zone).
Unless otherwise required by the applicable law, and to the maximum extent permitted and possible, you, we, and the arbitrators shall maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Disputes. Unless prohibited under the law, the arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality.
Any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms is personal to you and us and will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding in any circumstances. There will be no class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration where an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals.
To the maximum extent permitted under the law, you and we waive the rights to a jury trial, class action arbitration, and to have any Dispute resolved in court.
To the maximum extent permitted under the law, you and the Company hereby agree that any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Platform or an IDO shall be filed within one (1) year after the ground for such claim arose; if the claim is not filed within this term, such claim shall be permanently barred, which means that neither you nor the Company will have the right to assert such claim.

You agree that we may provide Communications to you by posting them on the Platform, on our Twitter account, in our Telegram channels: Russian language and English language, and Discord server, provided that only those postings shall be deemed to constitute Communication that are expressly marked as relating to these Terms. If you provide us with your email address, we may (but will not be obliged to) send Communications to you by email. All Communications specified in this paragraph shall be deemed in writing, valid and of full legal force, and delivered to you on the day following the day when they are published.
You may electronically communicate with us by sending Communications to the following email address support@wepad.io. We may require you to provide additional data or documents that will allow us to identify you.
- NO WAIVER
No failure or delay by us to exercise any right or remedy provided under these Terms or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
- NO PARTNERSHIP OR AGENCY
Nothing in these Terms is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership, joint venture or employment relations between any of the parties hereto, constitute any party the agent of another party, or authorise any party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of the other party. Each party confirms it is acting on its own behalf and not for the benefit of any other person.
- ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms, together with any documents incorporated herein by reference, contain the entire agreement between you and us, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, writings, letters, statements or promises between you and us regarding the subject matters hereof. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries hereto.
- PERSONAL DATA
Your personal data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Notice.
- SURVIVAL
Provisions hereof construed to survive the termination of these Terms shall survive any expiry or termination of these Terms. Sections 6, 7, 10, 19, 20 through 26, 30 through 33, 37 and 39 shall survive any expiration or termination of your access to or use of the Platform, regardless of the reasons.
- LANGUAGE
Currently, only the English version of these Terms, the Platform interface and any Communications is considered official. The English version shall prevail in case of differences in translation of any information, documents, Communications, or other content.
- ASSIGNABILITY
You shall not have the right to assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may transfer or assign these Terms, including any rights and obligations hereunder (i) in connection with redomiciliation, corporate reorganisation, etc., (ii) to a successor or an Affiliate, or (iii) to another person or entity, if we sell or otherwise dispose of the Platform, in whole or in part, and no such transfer or assignment shall require your additional consent or approval which is deemed to have been granted hereunder.
- VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY
If any provision or part-provision of these Terms is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under these Terms will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) these Terms will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of these Terms a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible. In any event, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or part-provision of these Terms shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of these Terms, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.
- INTERPRETATION
Unless the context otherwise requires, a reference to one gender shall include a reference to the other genders; words in the singular shall include the plural and in the plural shall include the singular; any words following the terms including, include, in particular, for example, or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words, description, definition, phrase or term preceding those terms; Section headings do not affect the interpretation of these Terms. You hereby agree that a rule of construction does not apply to our disadvantage because we were responsible for the preparation of these Terms.
The terms “investment”, “investing”, “deposit”, and other similar terms, as may be used herein, on the Platform or in materials provided by us or on our behalf, are not meant to be interpreted literally. Rather, such terms are being used to draw rough, fuzzy-logic analogies between the heavily automated and mostly deterministic operations of decentralised smart-contracts and the discretionary performance of traditional off-chain transactions by people. When using smart-contracts, there are no legal agreements, promises of payment, or courts of law, and therefore there are no investments or other traditional transactions involved.
