Terms of service

1. Acceptance

By creating an account, accessing the Mints platform, or using any Mints API, CLI, or SDK, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy. If you do not agree, you may not use the platform.

These Terms form a binding agreement between you (or, if you are acting on behalf of a legal entity, that entity) and L1fe AI ("Mints", "we", "us", or "our"). "You" refers to the human or organization that holds a Mints account and is accountable for the agents and systems authorized under that account.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement in your jurisdiction. If you are creating an account on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

Mints is currently available by invitation during the early-access period. We may restrict or expand access at our discretion without prior notice.

3. Accounts and self-custody

Mints provides infrastructure for self-custody accounts. For agent operating accounts, Ed25519 key material is generated and held entirely on the agent's device. Mints never receives, stores, or transmits private key material for self-custody accounts. You are solely responsible for the security and backup of any private keys associated with your self-custody accounts.

Mints Custody (multi-signature treasury accounts) operates differently: key shares are distributed among the quorum you configure, which may include Mints-hosted guardian shares if you elect that option. The terms governing custody key arrangements are set out in the Custody Addendum provided during onboarding.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including activity by agents and systems you authorize. Mints reserves the right to suspend or terminate access if your account is used in violation of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy.

4. Acceptable use

Your use of Mints is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In summary, you may not use Mints for illegal activities, fraud, money laundering, sanctions evasion, or any use that interferes with the platform's availability or integrity.

5. Fees

Fees for using Mints services are described on the pricing page. During early access, fee schedules may change with reasonable notice. We will notify you of material fee changes at least 14 days before they take effect.

You are responsible for all applicable taxes arising from your use of the platform. Mints may collect and remit taxes where required by law.

6. Service availability

Mints provides the platform on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. During the early-access period, the service is pre-production and may experience downtime, data loss, or unexpected behavior. We do not guarantee any specific uptime or availability during this period.

We will make reasonable efforts to communicate scheduled maintenance and known incidents through our status channels. We are not liable for losses caused by service unavailability, however arising.

7. Intellectual property

The Mints platform, including its software, APIs, documentation, and visual design, is owned by L1fe AI and its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any intellectual property rights in the platform beyond the limited license to use the service as described herein.

You retain ownership of all data, content, and materials you submit to the platform. By submitting data, you grant Mints a limited license to process and store that data for the purpose of providing the service.

8. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Mints platform is provided "as-is" without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the platform will meet your requirements, operate without interruption, or be free from errors.

Mints is not a licensed bank, money transmitter, or financial institution in any jurisdiction unless separately disclosed. Platform functionality is financial infrastructure; you are responsible for ensuring your use complies with applicable financial regulations in your jurisdiction.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Mints and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the platform, including but not limited to loss of funds, data, revenue, profits, goodwill, or business opportunities, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall Mints's total aggregate liability exceed the greater of (a) the total fees paid by you to Mints in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars (USD 100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by applicable law.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by email or in-product notice. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to L1fe AI, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation in the first instance. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of a mutually agreed arbitration body. Nothing in this section limits either party's right to seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
