Terms and Conditions
1. Introduction
1.1 MoonGems is a cryptocurrency voting platform on which new cryptocurrency projects can be listed and viewed.
1.2 MoonGems provides the following Services:
1.2.1 MoonGems offers a Platform where any (legal or natural) person can submit a cryptocurrency project by using the submission form on the website: https://moongems.io (the Website). A person who submits a coin will be hereinafter referred to as a Lister. Submitted Coins instantly become visible on the New Listings Page. Coins will initially be placed in the category “New” on the Website.
1.2.2 MoonGems offers the possibility for natural persons to become a Voter. A Voter may vote on a Submitted Coin. To become a Voter, it is mandatory to create an Account (as defined below) on the Website.
1.2.3 Voters can upvote Submitted Coins once these are listed. Submitted Coins will appear in the categories “All Time” and “Today” on the Website.
1.2.4 MoonGems offers advertising services through, among other things, banners on the Website and promoted spots for Submitted Coins.
Listers and Voters will hereinafter also be referred to as a User or Users.1.3 MoonGems does not verify any Submitted Coins, Listers, or Voters. Coin listings on the Website are for informational purposes only. MoonGems does not provide any financial advice, act as financial services provider or broker, or in any other way aid in the formation of any transactions in cryptocurrency or otherwise.
1.4 The market for digital assets, including but not limited to cryptocurrency as listed on the Website, is still new and uncertain. Unlike most currencies or assets, which are backed by governments or other legal entities, or by other commodities such as gold or silver, digital assets are a unique type of asset, backed by technology and trust. Digital assets are an autonomous and largely unregulated global system of digital asset service providers and individuals. Investors put their trust in a digital, decentralized, and partially anonymous system that relies on peer-to-peer networking and cryptography to maintain its integrity. Consequently, market prices for digital assets can be highly volatile and unpredictable. Whether the future market price for a digital asset will move up or down is speculative and unknowable, and digital assets may even become worthless. There is no central bank or other third party that can take corrective measures to protect the value of a digital asset. The User is aware of this market risk and should be cautious about digital assets. Moreover, the cryptocurrency listed on the Website could potentially be Scams, i.e., designed to either by object or effect induce market participants to invest financial resources that will not be recoverable once investments are made. Each User is responsible to Do Your Own Research (DYOR) regarding any information, specifically regarding cryptocurrency, listed on the Website.
1.5 These terms and conditions (Terms), along with the Privacy Policy (insert link to privacy policy), constitute a legally binding agreement made between the User (whether personally or on behalf of a legal person, partnership, or otherwise) and MoonGems and its affiliated companies, websites (including the Website), applications, and tools, concerning the access to and the use of the Website and Platform as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website, or mobile application related or connected thereto.
