KEYGEN LABS, INC.
Martian App Terms of Service
**Last Updated: 21st Oct 2024
Keygen Labs, Inc. (“Martian”, “we”, “our” or “us”) provides digital, self-custodial wallet software that helps its users engage in self-directed transactions on supported blockchains (the “App”). The App enables users to: (i) store locally on their own devices encrypted private keys that facilitate the control of blockchain-based digital assets; (ii) access a digital asset browser and link to decentralized applications and decentralized exchanges (“Dapp(s)”); (iii) view addresses and information that are part of digital asset networks and broadcast transactions; and (iv) make use of additional functionality as Martian may add to the App from time to time (collectively the “Services”). These Martian App Terms of Service (these “Terms”), along with our Privacy Policy, currently located at https://martianwallet.xyz/privacy-policy (“Privacy Policy”), govern your use of the Services.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND MARTIAN THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 18 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION) BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION.
1. Agreement to Terms
By clicking “I Agree” or by accessing or using the Services (or any portion thereof), you hereby agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.
2. Privacy Policy
Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of the Services, for information on how we collect, use, and share your information.
3. Changes to Terms or Services
We may modify the Terms at any time at our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know by posting the modified Terms or providing you a notice through the App, and/or through other methods of communication which we deem reasonable. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms, it means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you do not agree to be bound by the changes, you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
4. Who May Use the Services
a. Eligibility
YOU MAY USE THE SERVICES ONLY IF YOU ARE 18 YEARS OR OLDER AND CAPABLE OF FORMING A BINDING CONTRACT WITH MARTIAN, AND NOT OTHERWISE BARRED FROM USING THE SERVICES UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. By agreeing to these, Terms you represent and warrant to us that you are: (i) at least eighteen (18) years old; (ii) that you have not previously been suspended, removed or deactivated from the Services; (iii) that your registration and use of the Services is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations.
b. Wallet and Account Creation
To use the App, you will need to create a password (“Password”). You will also need to create a new blockchain wallet on a supported blockchain via the App or import an existing blockchain wallet (a “Wallet”). You may create or import more than one Wallet.
When you create a Wallet using the App, the App will generate a twelve-word secret phrase (“Secret Phrase”), which is a series of randomly-generated words that can be used to access the Wallet. To import an existing Wallet, you will need to input the Secret Phrase associated with that Wallet. You should save your Secret Phrase(s) in a safe place that only you can access.
You may also create separate subaccounts within your Wallet (each, an “Account”), each with its own separate private key and public address. The private keys for your Wallet and individual Account(s) will not be stored by the App or by Martian. The App will also store on your device an encrypted copy of your private keys, which you can decrypt using the Password (or with your device’s biometric authentication, if enabled).
The Password, private keys, and Secret Phrases (together, your “Wallet Credentials”) are highly sensitive and should be kept confidential. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your Wallet Credentials and you should not share them with any third party. Further, you are solely responsible for all activities that occur through or in connection with your Wallet, or are otherwise attributable to your Wallet Credentials, whether or not you know about them. You acknowledge and agree that Martian does not have access to your Wallet or Wallet Credentials and is not responsible or liable to you for any transactions conducted using your Wallet.
5. Receiving Rewards
Upon successful installation of the App, you may be eligible to receive rewards in the form of collectibles and/or tokens. To successfully claim these rewards, you will need to link one of your Accounts to your Twitter account and you agree to allow Martian to: register and transfer the reward to the Twitter- linked Account on your behalf at the time of installation. You acknowledge and agree that there is no monetary value associated with any rewards you may receive from Martian as a result of installing or interacting with the App and any rewards you receive cannot be redeemed for cash, digital assets, or any other form of value from Martian at any time.
6. Recovery Procedure
Martian does not store your Wallet Credentials and cannot decrypt or re-generate your private key. However, you can use the App to re-generate your private keys using your Recovery Phrase. Your personal device may store your Wallet Credentials in an encrypted manner, but we do not have access to these details. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under these Terms, you acknowledge that Martian does not have access to your Wallet or the digital assets therein and is not responsible in any way for the security of your Wallet or any digital assets or transactions therein or therethrough, and MARTIAN HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR WALLET, THE SERVICES, THE RECOVERY PROCEDURE DESCRIBED HEREIN, OR ANY DIGITAL ASSETS OR TRANSACTIONS THEREON OR THERETHROUGH, AND YOU AGREE TO HOLD MARTIAN HARMLESS FROM AND IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY.

19. Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, IT REQUIRES USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES RATHER THAN JURY OR OTHER COURT PROCEEDINGS, OR CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OF ANY KIND.

a. Governing Law

(“FAA”) will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section. If the FAA is found not to apply to any issue that arises under this section or the enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement, then that issue will be resolved under the laws of the State of California.
b. Informal Resolution of Disputes
You and Martian must first attempt to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) informally. Accordingly, neither you nor Martian may start a formal arbitration proceeding without providing notice of the Dispute in writing.

c. Mandatory Arbitration
We each agree that any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding, except as set forth under Exceptions below.

e. Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules

You can send a copy of the completed form to [legal@martianwallet.xyz]. Martian will send you a copy by [email]. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
The AAA will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect. Arbitration will be handled by a single arbitrator in accordance with those rules. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the interpretation, validity, applicability, or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.
You may choose to have arbitration conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, via a telephone hearing, by an in-person hearing in the county of your residence, or as otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties.
f. Arbitration Costs
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we will pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and we won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration, you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law. of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
g. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief
Except as provided in Section 19(d) (Exceptions) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
h. Class Action Waiver
** YOU AND MARTIAN ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT EACH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. YOU AND MARTIAN MAY NOT BE PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY**. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 19 (Dispute Resolution) shall be null and void.
i. Arbitrator’s Decision
The arbitrator’s decision shall be written and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. A party that prevails in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
j. Severability
With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 19(g) (Class Action Waiver) above, if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.
20. General Terms
