Terms of Service

Immutable Passport - Terms and Conditions

1. Introduction

1.1 These Passport terms and conditions (“Passport Terms”) govern the relationship between Immutable Pty Limited (“we”, “us” or “our”) and its group companies in connection with our offer of Passport to end users of Passport (“Users”, “you” or “your”). By accessing or continuing to use Passport, you agree to abide by these Passport Terms as updated and amended from time to time, and if you do not agree with any of the Passport Terms, you should cease using Passport. These Passport Terms supplement our Privacy Policy, which the User hereby acknowledges they have read and understood.

1.2 To the extent that these Passport Terms conflict with any other applicable terms, these Passport Terms will prevail.

1.3 Passport is a non-custodial wallet and authentication solution. Passport operates on blockchain technology and is underpinned by public and private key cryptography. Your use of Passport involves various risks, including losses relating to Digital Assets. Passport may be integrated by a third party service (“Third Party Services”), such as a software application (e.g. a game) built on the Immutable platform. Before you use Passport you should read the documentation explaining how to use Passport and associated services.

2. Overview of Passport services

2.1 Your use of Passport will be subject to these Passport Terms, unless otherwise agreed in writing. If you engage any Third Party Services, those services may be subject to the third party’s own terms and conditions which are separate to these Passport Terms.

2.2 We offer Passport to Users on an exclusive basis. Users will be considered to be using Passport by:

(a) creating a Passport Account;

(b) connecting your Passport Account to a Third Party Service; or

(c) accessing any of the services available through Passport whether available through us, our Affiliates or third parties, (together “Engagement” or “Engage”).

3. Passport Access

3.1 Access to Passport is available through the Websites but may also be made available through Third Party Sites, including our Affiliates’ websites, who provide Passport as an integrated component to their services.

3.2 Passport is provided for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not use Passport, or any of its functions, to further any unauthorised commercial purpose, including any advertising or advertising revenue generation activity on your own website without express, prior written consent.

4. Acknowledgements

4.1 You acknowledge and agree that:

(a) we provide Passport solely on a proprietary basis of our own account and if we transact with you, we do so solely on a bilateral basis;

(b) Passport is a non-custodial wallet solution and we do not take custody of your Digital Assets or any other assets in providing the Passport service;

(d) we are not providing and will not provide fiduciary, advisory, brokerage, exchange, custody, trust or other similar services to you, or in connection with any transaction subject to these Passport Terms;

(e) you are solely responsible for any decision to create a Passport Account subject to these Passport Terms, including the evaluation of any and all risks related to such creation, and we do not make any representations or warranties as to the security or availability of cryptographic wallets, or that your access will be uninterrupted, timely or secure at all times;

(f) you are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all passwords, hints, non-custodial wallet keys, 2-factor authentication devices or backups, or any other codes that you use to access your Passport Account. Any loss or compromise of the foregoing information and/or your personal information may result in unauthorised access to your Passport Account by third-parties and the loss or theft of your assets;

(g) a significant degree of technical sophistication is required to safely deal in cryptographic wallets;

(h) we are not responsible for any loss caused by your failure to act in accordance with our policies, procedures or reasonable directions;

(i) we do not guarantee any outcomes, return (financial or otherwise) or tangible benefit to you from using Passport; and

(j) Passport may be made available to you through our Affiliates or other Third Party Sites. We provide Passport to you ‘AS-IS’ and at your own risk and without warranties of any kind. No developer or entity involved in creating Passport, including Immutable and its Affiliates, will be liable for any Loss or Claim whatsoever associated with your use, inability to use, or your interaction with Passport or other users of Passport, including any Consequential Loss or loss of cryptocurrencies, tokens, or anything else of value.

5. Pre-Approved Transactions

5.1 Certain third party applications that have integrated Passport may have enabled Pre-Approved Transaction functionality. This means that as a Passport user, when you engage in certain transactions that we have deemed low risk (e.g. crafting), you may be asked to confirm the transaction as part of the third party application experience (i.e. in-app) but you will not be asked to confirm the transaction as part of a separate Passport experience (i.e. out-of-app); in other words, you pre-approve such low risk transactions. This feature has been introduced to reduce transaction friction and improve user experience for certain low-risk transactions.

5.2 By agreeing to use Passport, you acknowledge and agree to the use of Pre-Approved Transaction functionality where applicable. As with any blockchain transaction, you also acknowledge that transactions confirmed using the Pre-Approved Transaction functionality may involve transaction costs, including but not limited to blockchain network or gas fees. If you do not agree to the use of Pre-Approved Transaction functionality then you should immediately cease using Passport.

5.3 While all care has been taken in the design and roll out of Pre-Approved Transaction functionality, Immutable and its Affiliates, to the maximum extent permitted by law, do not accept responsibility for any Loss (including Consequential Loss), however caused and whether or not foreseeable (whether in contract, tort, for breach of statutory duty or otherwise), even if we have previously been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage which you may directly or indirectly suffer in connection with your use of Pre-Approved Transaction functionality.

6. Termination

6.1 Termination by convenience: you may terminate this Agreement for any reason by ceasing to use the Passport service.

6.2 Termination with cause

(5) if your use of Passport could subject us or our Affiliates to any third party liability; and/or

(6) in order to avoid violating any Applicable Law.

6.3 Effect of termination

Termination of these Passport Terms does not affect the rights of the parties which have accrued prior to the termination. Subject to the foregoing, upon termination all your rights under these Passport Terms immediately terminate. If we terminate your Passport Account, we may liaise with third parties, including our Affiliates, to terminate any access or material you may have through the Third Party Services which involves a Passport Account.
