    1. We may provide you with the following via our Platform:
      1. Access to generic and/or technical blockchain and Platform educational videos (“Educational Content”);
      2. Data Reports that map the trail of Digital Assets to possible end destinations based on the TXIDs that you independently insert on the Platform (“Data Report/s” or “Loss Assessment Product”);
      3. Data Intelligence automated reports through the use of AI regarding the content included in the Data Report (“Data Intelligence”);
        Each referred to as an “Offering” and collectively referred to as the “Offerings”. 
    2. We may obtain the information necessary for one or more of the Offerings from a range of public and private sources that comprise our Vendor network and our Affiliates.
    3. As part of the Platform registration process, you confirm and agree that all information you provide will be your own information and that unless you have previously notified us and we have expressly agreed to this, you will not act as agent or principal for another person, legal or natural. 
    4. The Data Report is generated at the User’s direction based solely on the TXID(s) independently provided by the User and is delivered in machine-readable comma-separated values (CSV) format only. The CSV file constitutes a technical data extract reflecting raw transactional information assembled from Vendor-supplied and publicly available blockchain data, without interpretation, validation, certification, endorsement, or verification by Chainblox. The Data Report is intentionally provided without signatures, formatting, or other indicia of authorship or endorsement, in order to avoid mischaracterisation of the dataset as authoritative, evidentiary, forensic, investigative, or professionally validated material. The absence of such indicia shall not be construed as facilitating or permitting any prohibited use. The Data Report remains subject at all times to the restrictions, limitations, and prohibitions set out in these Terms, including (without limitation) the prohibitions on reliance, evidentiary use, submission in proceedings, and attribution to Chainblox. Delivery of the Data Report in CSV format does not constitute advice, analysis, findings, conclusions, recommendations, or support for any legal, regulatory, investigative, or asset-recovery action, and does not create any obligation on Chainblox to participate in, support, or respond to any third-party process.
    5. You state and confirm that all information inserted in the Platform for the generation of the Data Report or otherwise, have emanated solely from you without Chainblox or its employees and/or Vendors and/or Affiliates advice, support or guidance, and that you have the necessary understanding of blockchain technology, Digital Assets and the manner by which they function, to be able to insert the appropriate information on the Platform and extract the appropriate data from the Platform independently.
    6. You acknowledge and agree that the Data Report is provided to you under a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license, and is for informational purposes only. The Data Report may be shared with your Professional Advisors and/or Governmental Bodies strictly for informational orientation only, and solely to allow them to conduct their own independent analysis. The Data Report may not be submitted, relied upon, or used as evidence, documentation, or support in any legal, regulatory, forensic, investigative, or administrative proceeding. The Data Report is not intended, nor should it be relied upon, for any court submission or legal, regulatory, prosecutorial, forensic, financial, or accounting investigation or action related to the tracing, tracking, or recovery of your Digital Assets. Any such reliance on the Data Report is strictly prohibited and may result in the failure of such investigation or action, as Chainblox neither validates, confirms, nor guarantees the accuracy or completeness of the data contained therein. Any use of the Data Report outside of the permitted purpose in this clause shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall automatically and self-execute a termination of the license granted herein. In such event, Chainblox may immediately revoke all rights to use the Data Report, terminate your access to its services, and seek appropriate legal and equitable remedies. You further agree to fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Chainblox, its officers, directors, employees, and Affiliates from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with your use, misuse, or reliance upon the Data Report in any prohibited manner, including but not limited to its submission in any court, tribunal, regulatory, prosecutorial, forensic, financial, or investigative proceeding.
    7. You agree and consent that upon inserting and submitting your TXID on the Platform, we have the right to transmit this information to our Vendors (including any of our Affiliates) for the purpose of collecting the necessary data for the Data Report.
    8. When we transmit your TXID or wallet address on your behalf neither we nor our Vendors, or Affiliates will be liable to you if our Vendors and/or Affiliates fail to perform any obligations and/or deliver data through the Platform that is delayed, inaccurate, incomplete or erroneous.
    9. At its sole discretion, Chainblox may choose to enter into a separate agreement, or have its Vendors enter directly into a contractual relationship with you, your Professional Advisors, or Government Bodies, for further supporting you in any proceedings. You understand that such support or service falls outside the remit of these Terms, will be charged separately, and any fees will need to be expressly agreed directly between you, Chainblox and/or the Vendor/s.
    10. We shall:
      1. not be under any obligation to enter into any of the Offerings or to accept or act in accordance with any Instruction or provide any other support for you under these Terms; and/or
      2. without assuming any duty of care, be entitled to refuse to act or to defer acting on Instructions until such time that we reasonably consider it is practicable to carry out those Instructions where:
        (a) you are in breach of these Terms;
        (b) we would be in breach of our obligations under these Terms, if we acted on your Instructions;
        (c) we would infringe any of the relevant Applicable Regulations by acting on your Instructions;
        (d) the transaction seems unusual considering the way you usually use any of the Offerings;
        (e) we suspect that the Instructions are unauthorised or fraudulent or do not fit your profile from an  anti-money laundering perspective; or
        (f) in any other situation where we consider it to be necessary in our reasonable opinion.
        In each case, we shall not be required to provide you with any reasons for the refusal or deferral or other action.
    11. The User confirms and agrees that any person who accesses the Platform, submits TXIDs, downloads Outputs, receives Data Reports or Data Intelligence, or otherwise interacts with any Offering on the User’s behalf or in connection with the User’s case (including friends, family members, Professional Advisors, consultants, or other third parties) shall be deemed to be acting with the User’s authority and on the User’s behalf. All acts and omissions of such persons shall be attributed to the User for the purposes of these Terms, and the User shall be fully responsible for ensuring that such persons comply with these Terms as if they were the User.
    12. Where the User provides any Output or access to any Offering to a third party, the User shall inform such third party of the restrictions, limitations, and prohibitions set out in these Terms and shall take reasonable steps to procure that such third party complies with them. The User remains solely responsible for any breach of these Terms arising from the acts or omissions of any such third party.
  3. EDUCATIONAL CONTENT
    1. Chainblox may provide access or links to Educational Content that includes own content as well as third party content. The Educational Content is intended for the User to understand our Platform as well as blockchain technology and assist the User in the identification of the TXIDs relating to the Lost Digital Assets.
    2. We try to ensure that the Educational Content is relevant and up-to-date, but we cannot guarantee at all times its relevance, quality, accuracy or the applicability of the content to the challenge the User faces. Therefore we always advise our Users to identify other sources of education as well on the specific topic of interest to them before taking any action. You acknowledge and agree therefore that you have the obligation and responsibility to seek additional information sources and validate that the Educational Content we provide access to is indeed accurate and appropriate for your purposes.
    3. Chainblox makes no claims of ownership or intellectual property rights over the third-party Educational Content provided. The links to such content are delivered "as is," and all legal, intellectual property and all other rights remain with the respective content creators or social media platforms where the Educational Content is uploaded.
    4. Chainblox disclaims all liability with respect to the quality, validity, accuracy, and usefulness of the Educational Content provided. We are not responsible for any reliance you place on this content, nor do we guarantee that it will meet your specific needs or expectations.
    5. By using the Educational Content provided, you agree that if the content is no longer applicable to your case, to the CEX, digital platform, or wallet where you maintain your account, it is your responsibility to seek alternative educational resources online or otherwise to address your queries. Chainblox assumes no responsibility for outdated or inapplicable content.
    6. Chainblox shall not be held liable for any inappropriate, erroneous, misleading, or otherwise inaccurate content delivered through the Educational Content. You acknowledge and agree that any negative outcomes, including but not limited to financial loss or misinformation, resulting from reliance on this content, are solely your responsibility and no liability lies with us.
    7. You agree that the Educational Content provided by Chainblox is not sufficient on its own to allow you to make decisions regarding the use of any Offering. You further agree to seek secondary validation of the information provided through other online and/or independent sources before proceeding in placing any reliance on the Educational Content or using any Offering.
  4. DATA REPORTS
    1. The Data Report generated by Chainblox through the Platform may include, where applicable, information relating to transactions involving the movement of the Digital Assets associated with the TXIDs provided by the User, as well as other related blockchain activity identifiable from the underlying data. This may include details such as wallet addresses involved, transaction hashes, and any entities or centralised exchanges (“CEXs”) to which the Digital Assets may have been transferred or may currently be held, as indicated by the available blockchain data. Chainblox will generate the Data Report based solely on the information provided by the User, without any obligation to verify the accuracy of the data input. If we proceed to validate any of the information you provide, it is for safeguarding our interests and rights and not as a service. Chainblox does not guarantee the validity or accuracy of any of the information included in the Data Report. The User acknowledges and accepts that Chainblox obtains wallet tagging and attribution data directly from one or more third-party data vendors and presents such data as-is, without modification. Each Vendor maintains its own proprietary data pools, classification methodologies, and tagging standards. As a result, a wallet address tagged by one Vendor may be untagged, differently classified, or entirely absent in another Vendor’s data. The User understands and agrees that Chainblox does not verify, modify, or supplement this tagging, and accordingly, accepts no liability whatsoever for any omissions, inaccuracies, or inconsistencies in the tagging data provided by its Vendors.
    2. Furthermore, the User understands and accepts that once a transaction path reaches a centralised or decentralised exchange, mixer, tumbler, or any other obfuscation-focused blockchain service, our Vendors will not provide information beyond that point. Chainblox will therefore aim not to offer, and the User agrees not to expect, any tracing beyond the aforementioned.
    3. Chainblox maintains full ownership of the Data Report and grants the User a limited, non-transferable right to access and use the Data Report as described in clause 2 of these Terms. Chainblox retains the right to store and safeguard the Users Data Report for a period of time, after which it may be permanently deleted from the Users account.
    4. The User acknowledges that the Data Report is not a substitute for independent professional forensic advice and agrees that Chainblox and/or Vendors are not responsible for any negative outcomes arising from the User's use of the Data Report, including but not limited to failed legal actions, asset recovery efforts, or investigations into potential perpetrators.
    5. The User’s limited, non-transferable right to use the Data Report shall immediately terminate and revert to Chainblox if the User, or any of their Professional Advisors and/or Government Bodies, directly or indirectly, through actions or omissions:
      (a) initiate, attempt, or proceed with any process that implicates, involves, or imposes upon Chainblox, its Employees, or its Vendors the obligation or necessity to participate in any Court proceeding, Arbitration process, dispute resolution, negotiation, investigation, or similar session; or
      (b) require or demand that Chainblox provide evidence, information, advice, or testimony for the benefit of the User, their Professional Advisors, or any Government Bodies assisting the User in relation to any matter concerning the TXID(s) included in the Data Report or the recovery of the User’s Digital Assets.
    6. Chainblox is obligated to deliver the Data Report based on the TXID submitted by the User and to provide access to the Report through the Platform for the duration of the agreed service period. Chainblox shall take reasonable measures to secure the storage of the Data Report during this time but does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free access to the Platform or the Report.
    7. Chainblox disclaims all liability related to the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of the Data Report. The Company does not guarantee the suitability of the Data Report for legal, financial, or investigative purposes, and shall not be held responsible for any outcomes, financial losses, or damages arising from the User’s reliance on the Data Report. Furthermore, Chainblox does not assume responsibility for any inability to retrieve data due to incomplete or inaccurate information provided by the User, or for any technical issues affecting the retrieval or compilation of data.
    8. The User has the right to access and review the Data Report generated through the Platform for personal use only. The User may consult the Report for informational purposes and use it as a tool to understand the movement of their Digital Assets. The User is not granted ownership of the Data Report and may not transfer, assign, or sublicense any rights to third parties without the express written consent of Chainblox.
    9. The User acknowledges and agrees that the use of the Platform and reliance on the Data Report is entirely at their own risk. The User assumes full responsibility for verifying the information contained in the Data Report (include that on CEXs) through private or public sources before making any decisions or taking any actions. The User agrees to hold Chainblox harmless from any claims, damages, or losses arising from the use of the Data Report or reliance on its findings.
  5. DATA INTELLIGENCE
    1. Data Intelligence consists of automated, machine-generated narrative outputs produced through artificial-intelligence and machine-learning systems (“AI Systems”) based exclusively on the information contained in the relevant Data Report. Data Intelligence is provided as-is, without human review, verification, validation, interpretation, or confirmation by Chainblox or its employees. The User expressly acknowledges that Data Intelligence is an automated, non-authoritative, informational-only narrative which may contain errors, omissions, hallucinations, misinterpretations, misclassifications, incorrect entity references, or internal inconsistencies, and may not accurately reflect the underlying Data Report or Vendor-supplied data.
    2. Data Intelligence is provided solely for high-level informational review by the User and solely for the User’s personal understanding of the content contained within the Data Report. Data Intelligence must not be used, submitted, cited, disclosed, reproduced, relied upon, or referenced in any legal, regulatory, governmental, investigative, evidentiary, enforcement, forensic, professional, commercial, or dispute-related context.
      Without limitation, the User is strictly prohibited from using Data Intelligence in connection with:
      (a) any police report, criminal complaint, or communication with any Governmental Body;
      (b) any regulatory filing, supervisory engagement, inspection, or administrative proceeding;
      (c) any litigation, arbitration, mediation, discovery process, or expert-witness matter;
      (d) any asset-recovery strategy or decision, or any attempt to identify or pursue individuals allegedly involved in the loss of Digital Assets;
      (e) any context requiring accuracy, verification, attribution, evidentiary reliability, or professional assessment.
      Any such use constitutes a material breach of these Terms.
    3. Data Intelligence does not constitute advice, guidance, recommendation, analysis, interpretation, opinion, professional service, or any form of consultation. Chainblox does not provide, as part of Data Intelligence, and is not deemed to provide, any legal, regulatory, forensic, investigative, accounting, tax, strategic, or asset-recovery advice. If any text appearing within the automated output appears to resemble analysis, interpretation, strategic guidance, or any form of recommendation, the User expressly agrees that such content:
      (a) is solely the product of AI Systems;
      (b) must be disregarded in its entirety; and
      (c) does not represent the views, opinions, or positions of Chainblox.
    4. Chainblox makes no representation or warranty—express or implied—regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, integrity, timeliness, or suitability of any Data Intelligence output.
      The User acknowledges and agrees that:
      (a) all entity labels, exchange references, service names, or other attribution appearing within the Data Intelligence are Vendor-derived, probabilistic, non-verified, and may be inaccurate;
      (b) such labels do not constitute identification of any wallet owner, operator, exchange, service provider, or individual;
      (c) Chainblox does not assert, confirm, endorse, or adopt the correctness of any entity attribution appearing in the Data Intelligence
      (d) any attribution may be erroneous, incomplete, speculative, outdated, inconsistent, or misleading.
    5. Chainblox owes no duty of care, fiduciary duty, professional duty, or advisory duty to the User or to any third party in connection with Data Intelligence. The User agrees that:
      (a) they shall not rely on Data Intelligence for any reason or in any context;
      (b) any reliance, whether intended, unintended, foreseeable, or unforeseeable, is strictly at the User’s sole risk;
      (c) Chainblox shall have no liability for any such reliance, whether direct, indirect, consequential, special, or otherwise.
    6. The User acknowledges and agrees that the Data Intelligence Disclaimer accompanying each Data Intelligence output forms an integral and binding part of these Terms. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and the Disclaimer, the Terms shall prevail. The User further acknowledges that acceptance of these Terms constitutes acceptance of all limitations, restrictions, prohibitions, and disclaimers contained in the Disclaimer.
    7. Data Intelligence is generated solely from the Data Report, which itself is derived from information supplied by Vendors. Chainblox does not verify, validate, audit, analyse, inspect, or confirm any Vendor-supplied data or any part of the Data Report. Chainblox shall not be responsible for any errors, omissions, misattributions, misclassifications, inconsistencies, or inaccuracies arising from Vendor data, Data Reports, or the processing of such data by AI Systems.
    8. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Regulations, Chainblox shall not be liable for:
      (a) any error, omission, hallucination, misinterpretation, misclassification, inconsistency, or inaccuracy in the Data Intelligence;
      (b) any use or reliance by the User or any third party on the Data Intelligence;
      (c) any loss, damage, claim, liability, cost, or expense arising from or connected with the Data Intelligence, including but not limited to losses arising in legal, financial, regulatory, investigatory, enforcement, commercial, or asset-recovery contexts;
      (d) any decisions made or actions taken by the User, their Professional Advisors, Government Bodies, or any third party in connection with the Data Report or Data Intelligence.
    9. Chainblox’s total aggregate liability for Data Intelligence shall in all cases be limited to the fees actually paid by the User for that specific Data Intelligence output.
    10. The User assumes full and exclusive responsibility for:
      (a) reviewing the Data Intelligence at their own risk;
      (b) obtaining independent professional advice before taking any decision relating to Lost Digital Assets, legal matters, investigations, or asset-recovery efforts;
      (c) ensuring that Data Intelligence is not used in any prohibited manner;
      (d) any consequences, losses, or outcomes arising from their decisions, actions, or reliance on the Data Report, Data Intelligence, or any other Offering.
      The User acknowledges that Data Intelligence is inherently unreliable and unsuitable for any consequential purpose.
    11. Chainblox reserves the unrestricted right, at its sole discretion and without obligation to provide reasons, to withdraw, revoke, amend, suspend, or declare void any Data Intelligence output (“Retraction”). Upon such Retraction, the User agrees to:
      (a) immediately cease all use of the retracted material;
      (b) treat it as null, invalid, and without legal effect;
      (c) permanently delete and destroy all copies in their possession or control;
      (d) refrain from disclosing, submitting, sharing, or referencing the material in any context;
      (e) comply with any additional instructions issued by Chainblox.
      The User acknowledges that retention or use of retracted materials is strictly prohibited and that Chainblox disclaims all liability arising from any such prohibited use Government Bodies
    12. Chainblox maintains full ownership of all Data Intelligence and grants the User a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the Data Intelligence strictly for the purposes described in Clause 5 of these Terms. Chainblox retains the right to store and safeguard the User’s Data Intelligence for a period of time, after which it may be permanently deleted from the User’s account. The User acknowledges that this license is subject to the Retraction rights of Chainblox as set out in Clause 5.11 and does not grant the User any rights to the underlying AI Systems or machine-learning models used to generate the output.
  6. RISK WARNING
    1. By using the Offerings provided by Chainblox, you expressly acknowledge and accept that the Data Report is provided for informational purposes only and is intended to offer an initial understanding of the transactional journey the Digital Assets connected with the TXID provided have taken. You understand that additional costs may need to be incurred by you should you choose to obtain the services of forensic investigators and/or seek legal action. Specifically:
      (a) You recognize that the Digital Assets in question may be dispersed across various jurisdictions, which may require additional enforcement costs through your Professional Advisors. These costs may exceed the amount of the loss suffered.
      (b) You acknowledge that expert forensic investigators may be required by you, your Professional Advisors, or Government Bodies to support your case, and such expenses are your sole responsibility. These services are not included as part of Chainblox 's Offerings.
      (c) While Chainblox endeavors to provide meaningful data, you acknowledge that we make no representations or warranties as to the validity, accuracy, quality, or suitability of the data for any legal, forensic, financial, or professional use. The data is provided "as is" and may not be sufficient for any professional or governmental use.
      (d) You agree that if you provide the Data Report to Professional Advisors or Government Bodies and, through your actions or omissions, the Data Report is utilized or becomes part of any proceedings (legal, regulatory, forensic, tax, investigative, etc.), all rights to the Data Report and any related Data Intelligence revert immediately to Chainblox without notice.
      (e) Chainblox reserves the right to prohibit the use of the Data Report and Data Intelligence in any proceedings through any means necessary, including the pursuit of restraining orders or confiscation orders.
      (f) You confirm that you understand and accept the above risk and that Chainblox has the right to take such actions as necessary.
      Our risk statement is intended as a general description of the risks associated with our Offerings. There may be other risks that it does not identify. You should therefore not rely on the risk disclosure statement  as covering all possible risks and should always satisfy yourself that the Offerings or transactions are suitable for you (or, if applicable, your principal) considering your specific circumstances.

    2. Upon the User inputting its TXID, we may validate the authenticity of the input TXID before allowing you to proceed.
    3. Once your payment is successfully processed and upon you submitting your TXID, we will obtain and deliver to you the available data related to your TXID.
    4.

Accordingly, all Fees are final and non-refundable once the relevant Offering has been made available, including (without limitation) where the User has provided incorrect, incomplete, or inaccurate TXID(s), misunderstood the nature or limitations of the Offering, or is dissatisfied with the Output. The User expressly acknowledges that responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, and suitability of all input data rests solely with the User, and that incorrect or unsuitable input does not constitute a failure of performance by Chainblox.
