1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using the GoodCoin & Eleos website, donation platform, or related services (collectively, the "Service") you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering binding contracts in your jurisdiction. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

3. Donations

3.1 Donor responsibilities

• You are solely responsible for the accuracy of donation information you submit, including charity selection, amount, and contact details.
• Cryptocurrency donations are irrevocable once confirmed on the blockchain. Please verify all details before submitting.
• You are responsible for understanding the tax treatment of charitable contributions in your jurisdiction.

3.2 E-tokens and notes

Some donations may be structured as E-tokens, which are tokenized notes backed by GoodCoins. E-tokens are held in a custodial account for a minimum of one (1) year from the donation date. The custodial period, redemption mechanics, and any associated yield are governed by the separate E-Token Agreement provided at the time of donation.

3.3 Tax shield estimates

Any tax-shield, future-value, or appreciation figures shown by our tools (including the Tax Shield Calculator) are illustrative estimates only. They do not constitute legal, tax, or financial advice. Consult a qualified tax professional for guidance specific to your situation.

4. Charities

We perform good-faith due diligence on partner charities including verification of nonprofit status, governance, and financials. However, we are not responsible for the conduct of charities, their use of donated funds, or representations they make to donors. Charities are independent legal entities.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration in Delaware, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual-property matters.
