Terms of Service

Last updated: 7 July 2026 · Effective: December 2, 2024

Welcome to DeHub!

Thank you for using the DeHub platform and the products, services and features we make available to you as part of the platform (collectively, the "Service").

Our Service

The Service allows you to discover, share and monetize content in a completely decentralized environment, provides a forum for people to connect, inform, and inspire others across the globe, and acts as a distribution platform for original content creators without centralized restrictions. We provide a censorship-resistant platform where anyone can monetize their content through community governance rather than corporate control.

DeHub operates as a decentralized protocol where content moderation is handled by community governance, ensuring that only illegal content or content violating community-approved guidelines may be restricted.

Who Operates DeHub

DeHub is an independent DAO. No company owns, operates or controls the Service. The protocol, the platform and the treasury are governed on-chain by DeHub token holders through the DeHub governance protocol, which is live: proposals are raised and voted on in the app, and the result binds the ecosystem. In this Agreement "DeHub", "we", "us" and "our" mean the DAO and the protocol it governs, not a company.

Development is carried out by independent contributors and studios engaged by the DAO. None of them own the DeHub ecosystem or hold decision-making power over it, and any of them can be replaced or removed by a governance vote. Nobody can change the protocol, the token or these Terms outside that process.

Who May Use the Service?

Age Requirements

You may use the Service only if you are at least 16 years old.

Permission by Parent or Guardian

If you are under 18, you must have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use the Service. Please have them read this Agreement with you.

Businesses

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organisation, you confirm to us that you have authority to act on behalf of that entity, and that entity accepts this Agreement.

Wallet Connections and Identity

You can use parts of the Service, such as browsing and discovering content, without connecting a wallet. However, you do need a compatible crypto wallet to use monetization features and participate in governance.

Creating content and participating in the platform economy requires wallet connection. You are fully responsible for:

• Securing your wallet and private keys
• All transactions made through your wallet
• Understanding the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions

Token Purchases

Token Usage

Tokens are used within our application for various activities including:

• Tipping content creators or profiles
• Subscribing to creators
• Unlocking premium content
• Accessing super powers like trending boosts

Purchase Limits

The maximum daily purchase limit via bank card is $500 USD equivalent. This limit is in place for security and regulatory compliance purposes.

Refunds Policy

Due to the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions, refunds are only applicable if sale is not as described or does not do what it's supposed to applicable in any capacity. All token purchases are final and cannot be reversed, canceled, or refunded unless the above conditions are broken.

Fees and Gas Costs

Every token purchase includes an additional 1% fee to cover gas costs and service fees. These fees may vary based on network conditions and third-party service providers.

Fiat On-Ramp Services

We may provide access to third-party fiat on-ramp services to facilitate token purchases. These services are provided by independent third parties and are subject to their own terms and conditions. We are not responsible for:

• The availability or reliability of third-party payment processors
• Payment processing delays or failures
• Third-party service fees or charges
• Compliance with local payment regulations in your jurisdiction
• Customer support for payment-related issues (handled by the payment provider)

You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding digital asset purchases in your jurisdiction.

Token Protection Mechanisms

Burn & Mint Function

DeHub retains the right to use the burn & mint function designed to protect our holders from attacks, hacks, exploits, user errors or exchange bankruptcies. This mechanism serves as a security measure to safeguard the community and maintain the integrity of the token ecosystem in extraordinary circumstances.

Permissions and Restrictions

You may access and use the Service as made available to you, as long as you comply with this Agreement and applicable law.

You are not allowed to:

• Use the Service to distribute content that is illegal under applicable law
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with security-related features of the Service
• Use automated means to access the Service except as explicitly permitted
• Collect personal information without consent
• Use the Service to distribute spam or unwanted mass solicitations
• Artificially manipulate engagement metrics through paid or incentivized interactions
• Misuse reporting, flagging, or governance processes

Decentralized Monetization Rights

Core Principle: Anyone can monetize their content without centralized censorship.

Unlike traditional platforms, DeHub provides unrestricted monetization rights to all users, subject only to:

• Legal compliance in applicable jurisdictions
• Community governance decisions made through transparent voting
• Basic technical requirements for platform functionality

You retain full ownership of your content and the right to monetize it through various mechanisms including tips, subscriptions, NFT sales, and other blockchain-based revenue streams.

Community Governance & Content Moderation

Decentralized Moderation

Content moderation on DeHub is handled through community governance mechanisms:

• Token holders vote on content policies and enforcement actions
• Transparent, on-chain voting processes for moderation policy decisions
• Appeals process managed by community governance
• Policy is set by governance rather than by a single entity; enforcement of that policy is delegated to designated moderators who act promptly

Designated Moderators

Community-elected administrators and top-ranking badge holders hold delegated moderation rights. They can remove content and suspend or eject abusive accounts promptly, without waiting for a governance vote, where content is illegal, violates the community guidelines, or presents a risk of harm to users.

• Designated moderators may remove any post, comment, stream or media item immediately
• Designated moderators may suspend, restrict or permanently eject abusive accounts immediately
• Reports submitted by users are routed to designated moderators for review
• Governance sets the policy those moderators enforce and can review or reverse their decisions, but enforcement itself is immediate

Content Restrictions

Content may be restricted, removed or made unavailable for:

• Illegal content as defined by applicable law
• Content violating the community guidelines, as enforced by designated moderators
• Technical spam or malicious activities that threaten platform security

Rights You Grant

You retain all ownership rights in your content. What belongs to you stays yours.

License to DeHub

By providing content to the Service, you grant DeHub a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host and distribute your content through the decentralized platform for the purpose of operating the Service.

License to Other Users

You grant other users of the Service the right to access and view your content as enabled by the platform features, while you retain all monetization and ownership rights.

Account Management

Termination by You

You may stop using the Service at any time by disconnecting your wallet and ceasing to use the platform.

Restrictions by DeHub

Access to the Service may be restricted at any time. Restrictions may occur for:

• Legal compliance requirements
• Community governance decisions
• Technical security threats to the platform
• Removal of content by designated moderators for breach of the community guidelines
• Suspension or permanent ejection of an account by designated moderators for abusive behaviour

Other Legal Terms

Disclaimer

DeHub operates as a decentralized protocol. We provide the platform "as is" without warranties. Due to the decentralized nature, we cannot guarantee continuous availability or specific performance metrics.

Limitation of Liability

As a decentralized platform, DeHub's liability is limited to the technical operation of the protocol. We are not responsible for:

• Content posted by users
• Financial losses from crypto transactions
• Community governance decisions
• Third-party integrations or services

Changes to Agreement

Changes to these terms will be proposed through community governance mechanisms. Major changes require community approval through token holder voting.
