Terms of Use
Effective date: 10 November 2026
Operator: Histodex
Contact: contact@histodex.xyz
Site: https://histodex.xyz
These Terms govern your use of Histodex (the “Site”), a Solana-based world-history NFT archive. The first public chapter is Bitcoin Genesis (21 card types). By using the Site you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Notice and Cookie Notice. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
1. Eligibility
- Browsing / reading the archive is open to the public.
- Accounts, forum posting, event chat, and puzzles (when available): you must be at least 13.
- Wallet connect, Sign-In with Solana (SIWS), minting, claiming gift cards, or other on-chain actions: you must be at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) and have legal capacity to enter contracts.
- We may ask for age/country self-attestation. Self-declaration is not strong identity verification.
2. What Histodex is (and is not)
Histodex offers digital collectible NFTs and educational archive content. NFTs are not shares, deposits, investment contracts, or a promise of profit. See also Not Financial Advice and the NFT License.
3. Curation points and gift cards
When enabled:
- Curation points (KP) are free, non-transferable, have no cash value, cannot be sold or redeemed for money, and may be changed, capped, reversed for abuse, or cancelled with notice.
- Gift eligibility, if offered, will be threshold-based and chance-free (no lottery/raffle). Any gift cards would come from a small, separate gift series; details and rules will be published before any claim opens. Nothing in these Terms promises that a gift, reward, or claim will be offered.
- Gift cards are free. You do not pay Histodex for the card. You may still pay third-party Solana network fees (and any asset rent) to your wallet provider / the network when claiming. Those fees are not a purchase of the card from us.
- We do not guarantee that points earned in early seasons will count toward a later gift until rules are published for that season.
4. Network fees and “no purchase necessary”
- Mint/claim prices set by Histodex (if any) will be shown before you sign. Genesis primary sale terms, if offered on the Site, will be disclosed separately.
- For free gift claims: no purchase from Histodex is required. Paying a Solana network fee does not buy the gift card; it is a blockchain cost.
- Secondary-market purchases (Magic Eden, Tensor, OpenSea, or others) are contracts between you and the marketplace / seller, not with Histodex, unless we expressly say otherwise.
5. Wallets and self-custody
- Connecting a wallet (e.g. Phantom, Solflare, Backpack) shows your public address to the Site for display and, if you choose, for signing messages/transactions.
- You control your keys. Histodex never asks for seed phrases, private keys, or unlimited approvals. We will not hold custodial wallets for you.
- Transactions you sign are irreversible once confirmed on Solana. Simulate before signing. Reject any unexpected transfer, approve, SetAuthority, or CloseAccount instruction.
- Lost keys, phishing, or malicious dApps are your risk.
6. Sanctions and restricted locations
You may not use the Site if you are located in, ordinarily resident in, or acting for a person in a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction under applicable US OFAC programs as listed in OFAC FAQ 10 (as updated), currently including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, the Crimea region of Ukraine, and the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republic regions of Ukraine, or if you are on a sanctions list (SDN or equivalent) under applicable local, US, EU, or UN rules.
You must comply with applicable law where you live. We may geoblock, request attestation, or refuse service. Russia, Belarus, and other targeted-sanctions contexts may be restricted by policy even where no full embargo applies.
7. Acceptable use (forum, chat, puzzles)
When community features exist, you must not:
- Harass, doxx, spam, or share others’ personal data;
- Post financial tips, “pump” talk, fake airdrops, claim/seed-phrase phishing, or wallet-drainer links;
- Impersonate Histodex staff (we never ask for seeds or keys);
- Spoil open puzzle answers in chat;
- Scrape or attack the Site, or create Sybil farms for points.
We may moderate, remove content, reverse points, or suspend access. Official claims/gifts happen only on histodex.xyz under published rules—not via DMs.
8. Intellectual property
- Site branding, layout, and original Histodex artwork remain owned by Histodex / its licensors. NFT license terms: NFT License.
- Historical names, newspaper mastheads, quotes, trademarks, and person names appearing on cards are referenced for history/commentary; they are not licensed to you for commercial use and do not imply endorsement.
- User content you post: you grant Histodex a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and moderate it for operating the Site; accepted source contributions may be credited in the archive as described when submitted.
9. Third-party marketplaces and links
Links to Magic Eden, Tensor, OpenSea, wallet apps, explorers, or archives are for convenience. We do not control them, do not guarantee listings or prices, and are not responsible for their terms, fees, or security.
10. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
- The Site and NFTs are provided “as is” without warranties of uninterrupted access, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of third-party rights in historical source material depicted on cards.
- Blockchain networks, wallets, and marketplaces can fail, fork, or be congested.
- Nothing on the Site is investment, legal, or tax advice.
Consumer note: If you are a consumer and purchase digital content from us as a distance contract, mandatory pre-contract information and withdrawal rules under the consumer law of your place of residence may apply; some digital-content exceptions require clear prior notice and your express consent. We will not rely on liability exclusions that mandatory consumer law forbids.
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Histodex is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses (including lost profits, lost keys, or secondary-market price changes). Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greater of (a) fees you paid directly to Histodex for the specific paid feature in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD 50—unless a higher mandatory floor applies. This does not limit liability for wilful misconduct or other non-excludable claims under applicable law.
12. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operator, Histodex. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer protections of your place of residence.
13. Changes
We may update these Terms by posting a new version with a revised effective date. Material changes affecting paid features will be highlighted where practicable. Continued use after the effective date means acceptance, except where mandatory consent is required.
