    These Terms govern your use of World ID App, World App, and the websites, applications, and other services made available to you under these Terms (collectively, the “Services”).

    Privacy and Data Usage

    We collect personal data to provide you with our Services. Review our Privacy Policy for details on data collection and usage. If you’re a non-EEA resident, you consent to how We handle data.

    Prohibited Uses

    Subject to our Terms, We grant you a limited license to access and use our Services. We may cancel or suspend this at any time, for any reason. You may not use our Services for:

    • illegal activity, such as fraud, predatory or deceptive practices, or money laundering;
    • excessive use, hacking, circumventing (e.g., via VPN), or interfering with our Services;
    • intellectual property infringement;
    • harassment, threats, abuse, harm, or impersonation of others; and/or

    Overview of Services

    World ID App and World App (“the Apps”) offer some or all of the following features, the availability of which varies by country.

    World ID. World ID App and World App may provide interfaces for you to securely create, store, verify, and use your World ID to prove that you are a real and unique human without revealing who you are. The World Foundation stewards the World ID Protocol and its separate User Terms govern your access to World ID and other related services.

    Usernames. Your World ID App and World App usernames must comply with the Username Policy.

    Face Auth. Face Auth helps keep your World ID safe by making sure the person using a World ID is the same person who verified it at the Orb. If you delete your data, you may lose access to features that require Face Auth until you re-verify.

    World ID Credentials. World ID Credentials enable you to securely store information from your identity documents on your phone. By using World ID Credentials, you represent that any documents you submit accurately and truthfully represent you, and acknowledge submitting false information may be a criminal offense under applicable law.

    Selfie Check. You can choose to use a selfie photograph as an additional check on your World ID (Selfie Check). The photograph is stored locally on your device. The selfie is processed primarily to confirm that a live person is present (liveness), and as a medium-assurance signal to help detect duplicate or automated accounts. Only anonymized data is retained by Us.

    Mini Apps. World ID App and World App enable you to access additional mini applications (“Mini Apps”) via the Mini Apps store. We provide a small number of our own Mini Apps (generally labeled “Built by Tools for Humanity” in the World Ecosystem and our Mini Apps store), but most Mini Apps are provided by third-party developers. By using Mini Apps, you agree that:

    • third-party Mini Apps may be subject to their own terms that you should read and accept;
    • including a Mini App in the Mini Apps store does not mean We endorse it;
    • We are not responsible for any problems with payments or transactions in a third-party Mini App: if something goes wrong, you’ll need to work it out with that third-party Mini App’s developer; and
    • while you may report any Mini App for violating the app store policies, We cannot provide refunds, support, or assistance with third-party Mini Apps.

    Wallet. World App includes a self-custodial wallet (“Wallet”) for storing cryptocurrencies and other digital assets (collectively “Digital Tokens”). By using the Wallet, you agree that:

    • YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PRIVATE KEY. IF YOU LOSE IT, YOU WILL PERMANENTLY LOSE ACCESS TO YOUR WALLET AND DIGITAL TOKENS;
    • We strongly recommend that you backup your private key. You may also export your private key any time, but for your safety, exporting keys may take up to 72 hours;
    • We are not a bank and do not provide investment or financial advice;
    • Blockchain transactions are irreversible;
    • We do not take control of or transmit your Digital Tokens at any time;
    • Your transactions may not be completed or may be delayed. We take no responsibility for the failure of any transaction to be confirmed or processed as expected; and
    • The Wallet supports certain ERC-20 tokens. You are responsible for confirming which tokens and networks are supported by the Wallet before you deposit tokens. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO RECOVER TOKENS IF YOU SEND UNSUPPORTED TOKENS TO YOUR WALLET, OR SEND TOKENS TO THE WRONG WALLET ADDRESS.

    Third-Party Exchanges. World App offers an interface for users to buy, sell, and swap Digital Tokens via third-party exchanges (“Third-Party Exchanges”). By using the services of the Third-Party Exchanges, you agree that:

    • At no time are your Digital Tokens transferred to us;
    • We provide access to Third-Party Exchanges as a convenience, We do not control or endorse them, and We are not responsible for your transactions with them;
    • Third-Party Exchanges may provide access to high risk products and services, including Digital Tokens that may substantially fluctuate in value; and
    • Any transactions with Third-Party Exchanges are subject to their terms (which you should read and accept). These transactions do not involve Us, and We have no responsibility or liability for any such transactions.

    USDC Vault. USDC Vault provides an interface for users to swap certain Digital Tokens using a non-custodial, permissionless, decentralized smart contract. By using this, you agree that:

    • We do not own or take custody over any Digital Tokens in the USDC Vault; and
    • We are not responsible for, nor a party to, these transactions.

    Promotions

    We may offer various claims, incentives, or referral rewards to users; for details check the Apps. We may modify or cancel these offers at any time.

    Intellectual Property

    You retain ownership of any content you post on our Services, but you provide Us with a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works from, modify, display, and perform all or any portion to the extent necessary to provide our Services.

    If you believe that your content has been exploited in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify our designated agent at: legalnotice@toolsforhumanity.com.

    We retain all rights in the proprietary information and material included in the Apps and Services, including but not limited to content, graphics, user interface, audio clips, video clips, editorial content, and the scripts and software used to implement the Apps and Services, which are owned by Us and our licensors, and are protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including but not limited to copyright and trademark. You agree that you will not use such proprietary information or materials in any way whatsoever except for use of the Apps and Services in compliance with this Agreement. This clause does not modify, restrict or exclude any additional rights you may have under applicable laws that cannot be so modified, restricted or excluded, or restrict your compliant use of materials which have been made available subject to an open source license.

    Fees and Taxes

    Transaction Fees. By using the Services, you agree to pay all applicable fees, including transaction fees for Digital Token swaps and transactions. We will let you know of any applicable fee before you make a transaction. Bank fees, credit card and debit card fees charged for any Digital Token purchases may be netted out of the settled amount of your Digital Token purchases. You are responsible for paying any fees charged by your financial service provider. These terms govern only the Services provided by Us and do not cover your use of Third-Party Exchanges. Please refer to the section on Third-Party Exchanges above for the relevant terms.

    Network Fees. Interactions with blockchains may also incur a network or “gas” fee. The network fee is charged by and paid to the blockchain network, not to us, for facilitating any interactions. These network fees may be subsidized, in whole or in part, by the World Foundation, subject to a minimum transaction value that it may set or adjust. We do not control these subsidies, and they may be modified or discontinued at any time.

    You are solely responsible for any applicable taxes related to your transactions.

    Applicable Law

    IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES OR CANADA, YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO ARBITRATION. (Read our Arbitration Agreement, incorporated by reference, for more details, including how to opt-out of this.)

    If you live in the European Union, an EFTA state, or the United Kingdom, German law governs these Terms, and any disputes must be resolved in the District Court of Munich, Germany (LG München I).

    If you live elsewhere, California law applies, and disputes must be handled in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California or state courts in San Francisco County, California.

    If local laws don’t allow this, the laws of your country of residence apply instead.

    Limitation of Liability

    Your use of our Services is at your own risk. Our services are provided on an “AS-IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis without any representation or warranty, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the maximum extent permitted by law, We specifically disclaim any warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

    IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, you waive the benefits and protections of California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “[a] general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

    To the maximum extent permitted by law, We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Services, and under no circumstances will We be liable to you for any direct claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, or costs in an amount exceeding the greater of $100.00 or the fees you paid Us in the 12 months preceding the claim. The exclusions and limitations of liability in these Terms do not apply to the extent that applicable law prohibits the exclusion or limitation of the relevant liability. If you live in the European Union, an EFTA state, or the United Kingdom, the exclusions and limitations of liability in these Terms do not apply in cases of intentional or fraudulent actions, gross negligence, or personal injury or death.

    Miscellaneous

    We may update our Terms from time to time. If a change materially affects your rights, or where otherwise required by applicable law, we’ll give you reasonable advance notice before it takes effect. If you don’t agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using our Services; your continued use after the effective date means you accept them, except where applicable law requires your express consent.

    If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest will still remain in effect.

    Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including Prohibited Uses, Intellectual Property, Fees and Taxes, Applicable Law, and Limitation of Liability, will survive any expiration or termination of these Terms.

    These Terms, together with the Policies referenced in them, constitute the entire agreement between you and Us regarding the Services and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject.

    You may send legal notices to Us at legalnotice@toolsforhumanity.com.
