The following information governs your use of the Station Program, this Station website, this webpage, the Station App, the Station software, and the self-hosted user-generated Station Wallet (collectively, the “Services”) - by using the Services, you agree to these terms and conditions (the “Terms”). You also agree that you have complied, and will continue to comply with all applicable laws including U.S. and E.U. sanctions laws when participating in the Services.
This information may be updated from time to time, and by continuing to use the Services you agree to these updates.
The Station Program is an experimental, discretionary rewards program to develop and grow the utility of and participation in the Filecoin network – this is not a competition. The Services may be altered at any time, and there is no guarantee that your participation in the Station Program will result in any reward(s). If you accrue token rewards due to your participation in the Station Program, you will be able to track the rewards associated with your participation in the program within the Station App and you will earn these funds when they are sent to your Station Wallet address at the end of each payout epoch (approximately one month). The accrued tokens will not be earned or available for withdrawal into your custody before they are sent to your Station wallet address. The funds will be sent to your Station Wallet address only if you have accrued enough funds during your participation in the program since the last payout or since you created your self-hosted user-generated Station Wallet. Once the funds have been sent to your Station Wallet, they are entirely in your custody and you may withdraw them to a destination FIL wallet address of your choosing. You are ineligible to receive funds if you are on a U.S. or E.U. sanctions list, and agree that we may run a sanctions check on your destination wallet address.
The Station Program has no custody or control over your user-generated Station Wallet. You may provide a destination FIL wallet address to withdraw from your self-hosted Station Wallet any rewards or payouts transferred to your self-hosted Station Wallet. You forfeit your payout if you do not comply with the rules and requirements of the Services. If you transfer funds from your self-hosted Station Wallet to a destination wallet that you do not control, you will lose control of those funds. If you become eligible for a reward or payout related to using the Services, you may need to provide additional information and/or agree to additional terms and conditions.
The prices of blockchain assets can be volatile. By participating in the Services, you accept all risk of price volatility. If you are eligible for rewards or payouts, the value of your reward or payout might vary based on the time of transfer (i.e., the end of the payout epoch - approximately one month). All Station Program payouts/rewards are provided “AS IS,” without any offer of warranty or guarantee, either express or implied (including quality, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose).
You are responsible for any expenses that may become due because of participation in the Services, including in connection with accepting or receiving a reward such as, for example, the gas fee incurred by the smart contract for transferring funds to your Station Wallet at the end of each payout epoch which will be deducted from your accrued rewards at time of transfer to your self-hosted Station Wallet. Your receipt and use of any reward payout from the Services may have significant tax consequences, and you are solely responsible for any taxes due as a result of any reward / payout. You acknowledge that taxes may be withheld from some rewards or payouts and that any payouts you receive under the Services may be reported to the relevant tax authorities. You also acknowledge that you may be required to provide additional information if you choose to request a copy of any applicable documentation related to any such tax withholding, rewards or payout information that is reported to the relevant tax authorities. You also acknowledge that it’s your obligation, if you so desire, to seek independent counsel to determine the full extent of your tax liability under applicable laws and regulations. Nothing on this website or within the Services constitutes tax advice.
The offer or payout of any reward does not constitute an offer of employment or any similar legal relationship between you and any other entity.
If you are on any U.S. or E.U. sanctions list, or residing in any U.S. or E.U.-sanctioned region, you may not participate in the Services and will not be eligible for any reward or payout from the Services. You agree that you will not access the Services using any technology to circumvent applicable laws, such as sanctions laws.
The Station Wallet is, at its core, a self-hosted user-generated keypair that allows you to sign transactions related to a corresponding FIL account address created by you. At the end of each payout epoch, accrued rewards will be deemed to be earned and transferred to your Station Wallet account, provided sufficient rewards have been accrued since the last payout or since the moment you created your Station Wallet, subject to these Terms. The Station Wallet is created by you and is fully within your custody, control and oversight with respect to any virtual currency you receive, store or withdraw using the Station Wallet. Your use of the Station Wallet is at your own risk and at your sole discretion.
The Station Wallet setup screen allows you to create your own self-hosted user-generated keypair which you may use with the Station Program to receive your rewards. You agree that you retain custody and control of your Station Wallet at all times, and you are solely responsible for following all laws and regulations applicable to you and your use of, or access to your Station Wallet. Your Station Wallet is not a tool allowing someone other than you to control your funds in order to store, transfer, transmit, broker, escrow, provide exchange services, or otherwise direct or control any virtual currency, financial instrument, or other digital asset.
You acknowledge that the prices of blockchain assets may be volatile, and accept all risk of that price volatility in using the Services. Virtual currency transactions are confirmed and recorded in a virtual currency’s associated blockchain; these networks are decentralized peer-to-peer networks supported by independent third parties and may display a public record of transactions. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that there may be errors, delays, or losses associated with blockchain transactions, and you accept all risk of loss as a result.
When you create your Station Wallet, you will create a keypair, which reveals your FIL account address. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the private key of your keypair, and you are fully responsible for any and all transactions or activities occurring within your self-hosted user-generated Station Wallet. You must keep your private key secure, or you may lose control of the funds available to your Station Wallet, which is a risk you accept by using the Station Wallet. You agree that you are solely responsible for any losses of blockchain assets associated with your Station Wallet (such as if you experience a security breach related to your private key).
If you use third-party wallet software to manage your self-hosted user-generated Station Wallet to manage or transfer your funds, you agree you are responsible for any risks or losses associated with the use of your chosen third-party wallet software.
Additionally, you are responsible for any expenses that may be incurred due to your use of your Station Wallet, such as “gas” fees in order to make transactions with your Station Wallet or any applicable taxes as a result of any transaction made using your Station Wallet.
By using the Services you represent that you are not subject to U.S. or E.U. sanctions and further represent that you are not using any technology to circumvent any applicable laws such as sanctions laws. You agree to monitor for any updates to U.S. or E.U. sanctions lists to confirm that you continue to comply with all applicable laws.
To the extent you provide any ideas, suggestions, or other feedback regarding the Services (“Feedback”), you agree to release all rights, titles, and interests (such as intellectual property rights) in and to that Feedback.
