Terms of Service

1. The Service

png.cafe is a wallet-gated portal for the Blocky Apes collection on the XRP Ledger (“XRPL”). The Service lets you:

• sign in by verifying control of an XRPL wallet through the Xaman (XUMM) sign-in flow;
• view and download digital files (voxel skins, NFT PNG images, and NFT GIF animations) tied to the Blocky Apes NFTs your wallet holds, with ownership re-verified on-ledger at the time of each request;
• use the holders-only NFT Generator to compose layered collections, define trait rules, and export metadata templates compatible with third-party minting workflows (e.g. xrp.cafe); and
• preview voxel skin PNG files in a 3D viewer (“Skin Tester”) that runs entirely in your browser.

We may add, change, suspend, or remove features of the Service at any time without notice.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and that you have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms. The Service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to use it.

3. Wallets, Accounts, and Third-Party Services

Access to gated content depends on connecting and verifying an XRPL wallet. Wallet sign-in is provided through Xaman (XUMM), operated by XRPL Labs, and on-ledger verification relies on public XRPL nodes. Your use of those wallets, tools, and networks is subject to their own terms and policies, and Calco Labs does not control and is not responsible for them.

You are solely responsible for your wallet, your private keys, your seed phrase, and all activity that occurs through your wallet. We never take custody of your wallet, keys, or NFTs, and we will never ask for your private key or seed phrase. We cannot recover, reverse, or restore lost keys, lost assets, or transactions. A session with the Service is valid only while it remains active and confers no rights beyond access to files for NFTs your wallet actually holds at the time of each request.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• access, download, or attempt to access files or features you are not entitled to, including circumventing or attempting to circumvent wallet verification, session controls, or any holders-only gating;
• impersonate any wallet, person, or entity, or misrepresent your ownership of any NFT;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, scrape, or attempt to derive the source code or algorithms of the Service, including the server-side NFT generation engine;
• interfere with, overload, or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure, or use any automated means to access it beyond normal use;
• use the Service to infringe intellectual-property rights or to create, distribute, or mint content that is unlawful, infringing, or that violates third-party rights; or
• use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation.

5. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all source code, design, user interface, text, the NFT generation engine and its algorithms, and all other materials we provide (excluding your own uploaded trait images and your NFTs), is the proprietary and confidential property of Calco Labs LLC and is protected by intellectual property laws. All rights are reserved. Except for the limited right to use the Service as expressly permitted here, no license or right is granted to you, and you may not copy, modify, distribute, sublicense, sell, host, deploy, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without our prior written consent.

You retain ownership of trait images and other content you upload to the NFT Generator and of files generated from them. The Skin Tester and the trait images you load into the Generator are processed in your browser; trait images are not transmitted to our servers for generation (only trait names, weights, and rules are). You are responsible for ensuring you hold the necessary rights to any content you use with the Service.

6. Crypto, NFTs, and No Financial Advice

The Service interacts with NFTs and the XRP Ledger. Nothing on the Service is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice, and nothing constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any token, NFT, or security. Blocky Apes NFTs and any associated files are digital collectibles; they are not securities, shares, or investment contracts, and we make no promise or representation of any profit, return, appreciation, value, or future utility.

Digital assets are volatile and carry substantial risk, including total loss. Blockchain transactions are irreversible and are recorded on a public ledger outside our control. You are solely responsible for evaluating and bearing the risks of acquiring, holding, or using NFTs and for any tax obligations that arise. The Service does not facilitate payments, sales, or minting and does not custody any assets.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR- FREE, OR THAT ANY FILES, NETWORKS, OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE OR ACCURATE.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CALCO LABS LLC AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, WALLET CONTENTS, OR DIGITAL ASSETS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Calco Labs LLC and its owners, members, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Service, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, the rights granted to you under these Terms will end. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — will survive.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.
