Terms of Service

Effective Date: January 28, 2025
Last Updated: January 28, 2025

⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES

The Services involve blockchain technology and digital assets. Transactions may be irreversible. You can lose access to assets due to wallet compromise, mistakes, or third-party failures. Melts are not bank accounts, not deposits, and not FDIC insured. We do not provide investment, legal, or tax advice.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of Meltible.com and any related websites, apps, smart contracts, and services (collectively, the "Services") operated by BearerStable, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," "our").

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

📋 Table of Contents

Definitions

For purposes of these Terms:

1. Service Area, Eligibility, and Restrictions

Service Area

The Services are offered only in jurisdictions where they may be lawfully provided. We may restrict or block access based on jurisdiction, wallet address, identity attributes, transaction signals, or other risk/compliance factors at any time.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live).

Sanctions / Restricted Persons

You may not use the Services if you are a prohibited or sanctioned person/entity (including OFAC or similar lists) or otherwise prohibited by law.

Right to Refuse / Limit

We may refuse, limit, suspend, or terminate access to any user, wallet address, transaction, or jurisdiction in our sole discretion to manage legal, compliance, fraud, security, or operational risk.

2. What an NFT Is — and What a "Melt" Is on Meltible.com

2.1 NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)

An NFT is a unique digital identifier recorded on a blockchain that can represent control of a specific on-chain token. NFTs are typically controlled through a wallet address. Transfers occur via blockchain transactions and may be irreversible.

2.2 Melts (Art with a Melt Value)

A Melt is the branded NFT Art offered through Meltible.com — think of it like jewelry: it can have an intrinsic "melt value" (the metal) plus a separate design/collector premium (which the market may or may not value).

In the NFT world, Melts are Art with a redemption floor.

Melts may be implemented using token standards that support unique items and/or value mechanics (for example, ERC-3525-style structures).

Each Melt may include:

2.3 What Melts Are Not

Melts do not represent:

2.4 Value; "Melt Value" vs. Any Additional Market Value

Each Melt may include a Melt Value, which is the value of the attached stablecoin amount (or stablecoin-denominated redemption amount) associated with that Melt as displayed in the Services. If redemption is enabled and you meet the redemption conditions, you may redeem the Melt for its Melt Value (the "Redemption Floor"), subject to these Terms.

Any value above the Melt Value (for example, collectible, artistic, rarity, or secondary-market value) is not guaranteed, is determined solely by independent market participants, and may be highly volatile or zero.

2.5 Stablecoin Issuer Terms (Including USDvt); Issuer Controls and Risks

When a Melt's Melt Value is denominated in a Stablecoin (including USDvt), you acknowledge and agree:

(a) Issuer Terms Apply. Your use, holding, transfer, and redemption of the Stablecoin may be governed by the Stablecoin issuer's own terms. For USDvt, see the issuer's terms at: https://usdvt.com/terms. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the issuer's terms regarding the Stablecoin itself, the issuer's terms may control your relationship with that issuer for that Stablecoin.

(b) Not a Deposit / Not Insured. Stablecoins may not be legal tender, may not be deposits or bank products, and may not be insured by the FDIC or any government agency. Holding a Stablecoin can involve issuer, reserve, and regulatory risk.

(c) Price / Peg Risk. Stablecoins can trade above or below their intended value on third-party platforms. We do not control third-party pricing, liquidity, listings, or delistings.

(d) Issuer Restrictions: Freeze / Block / Blacklist / Seize. Some Stablecoins may include issuer controls that can restrict transfers or freeze tokens at specific addresses (including blacklisted addresses or as required by law enforcement or court orders). If Stablecoin tokens are frozen, blocked, or restricted, you may lose access or be unable to transfer/redeem them.

(e) Blockchain / Support Changes. Stablecoin issuers may discontinue support for a Stablecoin on any blockchain, or change how it is supported, in the issuer's discretion. We do not control blockchains or issuer decisions.

(f) No "Reg E"-Style Protections. Digital-asset transfers may not receive consumer protections that apply to traditional bank transfers (including certain error-resolution and liability limitations). You may be fully responsible for unauthorized use arising from your wallet security failures.

(g) Issuer Failure Risk. If a Stablecoin issuer fails, you may not be protected by insurance and you may become an unsecured creditor of the issuer (or other responsible entity), with no assurance of recovery.

3. What You Can Do (Core Features)

Depending on your jurisdiction, verification status, and what we enable at the time, the Services may allow you to:

We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.

6. Payments, Funding, and Clearance Holds

Clearance may take longer due to fraud signals, chargeback risk, compliance review, third-party delays, outages, or operational issues.

6.2 Holds and Restrictions

We may place holds or restrictions on sending/withdrawal/transfer/redemption where reasonably necessary for risk, compliance, incident response, payment disputes, or Stablecoin issuer restrictions.

7. Minting and On-Chain Finality

10. Security Risks — Assumption of Risk

We are not responsible for losses resulting from unauthorized access, compromised credentials, user error, issuer actions, or third-party failures, except where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law.

10.1 Emergency Actions

In a suspected security incident, we may (without notice) pause minting, transfers, split/merge, redemptions, or other functions; require enhanced verification; and/or disable parts of the UI to protect users and the system. We do not guarantee that any response will prevent loss.

14. DISCLAIMERS

THE SERVICES AND MELTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE."

WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that Melts will have any resale value or market liquidity.
