Terms of Use

Coin Metrics Inc. (“Coin Metrics“), has created this website (the, “Website”), its associated applications and plugins, API data feeds and any Coin Metrics Content (as defined below) included therein (collectively, the “Services”) to provide an online resource for users to obtain information and data related to cryptoassets (i.e., cryptocurrencies). To assist you in using the Services, and to ensure a clear understanding of the relationship arising from your use of the Services, we have created (i) these Terms of Use (the “Terms“) and (ii) a Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy explains how we treat information you provide to us through the Services, and our Terms govern your use of the Services. Our Terms and Privacy Policy apply to all users accessing the Services (the “Service Users”). The terms “Coin Metrics,” “we” and “us” refer to Coin Metrics Inc.

PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU ACCESS THE SERVICES. BY ACCESSING SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE SERVICES.

1. Your Agreement

These Terms govern (i) your use of the Services, and (ii) your use of information obtained through the Services, including Data and Analytics, information, data, statistics, software, artwork, text, video, audio, pictures, content, trademarks, trade dress, and other intellectual property owned by Coin Metrics or its licensors and made available to you through the Services (“Coin Metrics Content”). Please read these Terms carefully; they impose legal obligations on you and on Coin Metrics and establish our legal relationship. By accessing the Services, you are acknowledging that you have read and understood these Terms and agree to be legally bound by them. If you are agreeing to these Terms and our Privacy Policy on behalf of a company or other legal entity (your “Organization”), (i) you represent and warrant that you have authority to act on behalf of, and to bind your Organization and (ii) for all purposes in these Terms and the Privacy Policy, the terms “you” and “your” means your Organization on whose behalf you are acting. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND YOUR ORGANIZATION, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS THE SERVICES.

2. Our Services: Overview

The Services are designed to provide an online resource for reviewing Data and Analytics related to cryptoassets. For example, you may use the Services to obtain daily cryptoasset data s6ets of either cryptoasset network or market data (“Data”). You may also obtain correlations and other derived analytics of the various Data that we or our licensors have generated (“Analytics”). You may also register with Coin Metrics via the Website to receive API data feeds of Data and Analytics for use in your applications. We may also offer paid subscriptions for products from time to time – if we do so, your use of such products will be subject to a separate license agreement between you and Coin Metrics and will not be subject to these Terms.

3. OBTAINING A PASSWORD OR ACCESS CREDENTIAL; PROTECTING YOUR PASSWORD/CREDENTIALS

We may make certain areas of the Website accessible only to Service Users that have a password or other access credentials such as an API key. Please keep in mind that we will treat anyone who uses your username and password/access credentials as “you.” We will provide this Service User with all the rights and privileges that we provide to you, and we will hold you responsible for the activities of a person using your account. Therefore, we recommend that you maintain your username and password/access credentials in confidence, and that you refrain from disclosing this information to anyone outside of your Organization who might “pretend” to be you with respect to the Services and your access of the Services. For clarity, to the extent a single set of access credentials (user name and password or API key) is established for you / your Organization (“Access Credentials”), these Access Credentials may be used by authorized representatives within your Organization, provided that you / your Organization remains responsible for the access to and use of the Services and any Coin Metrics Content obtained by anyone accessing the Services using your Access Credentials. For the avoidance of doubt, you shall not permit any third parties to access the Services using your Access Credentials. We also ask that you notify us immediately if you suspect that someone is using your username and/or password and/or API key in this or any inappropriate manner.

4. Grant of Rights

Our Services may allow Service Users to provide comments or feedback regarding the Services. By providing comments/feedback, you grant us the right to use your comments and feedback for the purposes of improving the Services.

7. Code of Conduct

As a condition of your use of the Services, you agree to follow our Code of Conduct, set out below. Under this Code, you will not:

Provide false identification information to obtain access to the Services.
Access the Services to develop or implement a product or service that will act as a substitute for or otherwise compete with the Services.
Upload, email or otherwise transmit any images or other User content that is unlawful, obscene, harmful, hateful, invades the privacy of any third party, contains nudity or pornography, or is otherwise objectionable.
Disseminate materials that impact or invade the privacy of others, such as photographs, video clips, sound recordings, personally identifiable information, or other materials that reveal personal, private, or sensitive information about another person, without that person’s consent.
Submit material that is intentionally false, defamatory, unlawfully threatening, or unlawfully harassing.
Infringe any third party’s copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy. Electronic materials – such as music, videos, games, images, and text in electronic form — can easily be copied, modified, and sent over networks (such as the Internet). These electronic materials are thus extremely vulnerable to unauthorized distribution and copyright infringement. These materials may not be transmitted over the Services without the copyright owner’s permission, or without a legitimate “fair use” justification for the transmittal.
Transmit materials that contain any viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or other computer-programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system, data, or personal information.
Use the Services to artificially generate traffic or page links to a website or for any other purpose not expressly allowed under these Terms.
Use the Services in a manner that could disable, overburden, or impair the Services or interfere with any other party’s use and enjoyment of the Services, such as through sending “spam” email.
Use the Services to test or reverse engineer the Services to find limitations, vulnerabilities or to evade filtering capabilities.
Seek to obtain access to any materials or information through “hacking,” “data harvesting,” “web scraping,” or through other means we have not intentionally made available to you through the Services.
Use VPNs, proxy servers, or other means to hide the true source of traffic or to circumvent any rate limits we impose on our users.
Use the Services for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms. For example, you will not use the Services to violate any law, statute, or regulation (including, without limitation, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, antidiscrimination, or false advertising).

8. Charges; Payment Terms

8.1. Subscription Fees

If applicable, some Services may require Service Users to pay Coin Metrics a monthly subscription fee (the “Subscription Fee”), as set forth on the registration screen in the Website at the time of registration. Coin Metrics reserves the right to increase its Subscription Fees. Coin Metrics will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of any Subscription Fee increases.

8.2. Automatic Debit

If you provide recurring payment information for automatic debit of the Subscription Fee, you authorize Coin Metrics to debit your credit card, checking or savings account designated by you at the time of registration (or as you may update such information thereafter) on a recurring basis for the Subscription Fees.

8.3. Taxes

Subscription Fees are exclusive of all federal, state, and local and foreign taxes, levies assessments and withholdings. You shall bear and be responsible for all such taxes, levies and assessments arising out of these Terms, excluding only any tax based on Coin Metrics’ net income.

9. Monitoring; Revocation or Suspension of Use Privileges

We reserve the right at any time to (i) monitor your use of the Services to determine compliance with these Terms, and (ii) terminate or suspend your use of some or all the Services if you engage in activities that we conclude, in our sole discretion, breach our Code of Conduct or otherwise violate these Terms or our Privacy Policy. Although we have no – and assume no — obligation to monitor activities on the Services, please understand that we may employ filters designed to detect and block inappropriate content under the Code of Conduct. We reserve the right to request edits to your submission, to refuse to post, or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, that we believe, in our sole discretion, are incompatible with our Code of Conduct.

Users should also understand that our Code of Conduct is based in many instances on principles of applicable law. Users who violate our Code of Conduct accordingly may be exposed under these laws to criminal charges, and civil liability to harmed parties for compensatory damages and attorney’s fees. Coin Metrics reserves the right at all times to disclose information it deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, consistent with its Privacy Policy.

10. Termination for Cause

In the event that you are in material breach of any obligation under these Terms, Coin Metrics may terminate this Agreement for cause upon written notice after first: (i) providing you with written notice of the breach (a “Notice of Breach”) and (ii) providing thereafter a five (5) day opportunity to cure beginning on the date of your receipt of the Notice of Breach.

11. Links to Third-Party Sites

The Services may also contain links or produce search results that reference links to third party Services (collectively “Linked Sites“). Coin Metrics has no control over these Linked Sites or their content and does not assume responsibility or liability for any content, opinions, or materials available on Linked Sites.
