Services Agreement

The following terms and conditions (together with any schedules and attachments, collectively this ”Agreement”) govern your use of the Services (defined below). By visiting, browsing, accessing, downloading, installing or otherwise using (the terms ”use” and ”using” will refer to any of the foregoing) the Beta Services, you (such person, the ”Customer”) are entering into these terms with Skylock Security Inc. (”Skylock”). These terms are effective on the earlier of: (a) the date Customer first uses any part of the Beta Services; and (b) the date Customer agrees to be bound by these terms (the ”Effective Date”). The Agreement consists of these terms and any ordering document agreed to by the Customer with Skylock.

  1. Performance of Services.

Skylock will perform the following services for Customer: (a) Skylock will monitor the Customer Protocol; (b) upon the occurrence of a Hack by a third party, Skylock will initiate and implement a Response with the intent of recovering any Tokens that may have been subject to the Hack; (c) if Skylock has recovered any Tokens following its implementation of a Response, Skylock will deposit Recovered Tokens into the Skylock Digital Wallet; and (d) once the Recovered Tokens have been deposited to the Skylock Digital Wallet, Skylock will then transfer the Recovered Tokens to the Customer Digital Wallet, minus the Fees and taxes (collectively, the ”Services”). Customer acknowledges and agrees that there shall be no relationship of exclusivity between Customer and Skylock and Skylock may perform services similar to or identical to the Services for any third party.

  1. Customer Responsibilities

In order to facilitate the performance by Skylock of the Services, Customer will provide Skylock with the rights to access and use the Customer Protocol, the Customer Digital Wallet, and any other materials, documentation, content, or technology required by Skylock to perform the Services (collectively, ”Customer Technology”). The Customer Technology does not include Customer’s private keys for the Customer Protocol, the Customer Digital Wallet, and any other private authentication materials. Skylock will not be responsible or liable for any failure or delays in performing the Services, if such failure or delay results from or relates to a failure by Customer to provide Skylock with timely access and use of the Customer Technology. Customer agrees to provide all information Skylock requires to comply with Applicable Laws, including applicable anti-bribery, anti-terrorist and anti-money laundering laws. Customer agrees to submit such information, including information necessary to meet know-your-client requirements under Applicable Laws, to Skylock promptly upon request and in all events within 30 days after entering into this Agreement.

  1. Fees; and Payment

    1. Fees. If Skylock has recovered any Exploited Assets following its implementation of a Response (each such Token, a ”Recovered Token”), then Skylock will be entitled to retain a portion of the Recovered Tokens as set out in Schedule A as a fee for the Services (the ”Fees”) plus all applicable taxes. The value of the Recovered Tokens is determined by the fair market value of the Recovered Tokens at the moment in which the Hack took place per the timestamp that the previous block was proposed on the Custom Protocol as determined by Skylock.

    2. Change to Fees. Skylock reserves the right to change the Fees and institute new charges only after the first 12 months of the Term. Any such changes will be made upon providing not less than 30 days prior notice to the Customer.

    3. Taxes. The Fees do not include applicable sales, use, gross receipts, value-added, personal property or other taxes. Customer will be responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, tariffs, assessments, export and import fees or similar charges, including any applicable interest and penalties payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than taxes based on the net income or profits of Skylock.

For the purposes of this Agreement, a Party receiving Confidential Information (as defined below) will be the ”Recipient”, the Party disclosing such information will be the ”Discloser” and ”Confidential Information” of the Discloser means any and all information of the Discloser or any of its licensors that has or will come into the possession or knowledge of the Recipient in connection with or as a result of entering into this Agreement, including information concerning the Discloser’s past, present or future customers, suppliers, technology or business; provided that the Discloser’s Confidential Information does not include, except with respect to Personal Information: (i) information already known or independently developed by the Recipient without access to the Discloser’s Confidential Information; (ii) information that is publicly available through no wrongful act of the Recipient; or (iii) information received by the Recipient from a third party who was free to disclose it without confidentiality obligations.

    2. The Recipient hereby agrees that during the Term and at all times thereafter it will not, except to exercise its license rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement:

      1. disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser to any person, except to:

        1. in the case of Customer, to its employees having a “need to know” and that have entered into written agreements no less protective of such Confidential Information than this Agreement;

        2. in the case of Skylock, to its employees, consultants, contractors, agents, or affiliates having a “need to know” and that have entered into written agreements no less protective of such Confidential Information than this Agreement; and to Skylock’s contractors or subcontractors to perform the Services;

        3. to such other recipients as the Discloser may approve in writing;

      2. use Confidential Information of the Discloser; or

      3. alter or remove from any Confidential Information of the Discloser any proprietary legend.

    4. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party will promptly return to the other Party or destroy all Confidential Information (except for Customer’s Personal Information Processed by Skylock which is subject to Section 5 (e) below) of the other Party in its possession or control within a reasonable amount of time, in accordance with the Recipient’s data destruction practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient may retain copies of the Confidential Information of the Discloser as required by Applicable Law, or to the extent such copies are electronically stored in accordance with the Recipient’s standard backup procedures or record retention policies, so long as such Confidential Information remains subject to the confidentiality provisions set out in this Agreement and is destroyed once it is no longer required to be retained for such purpose. Each Party will protect any Confidential Information of the other Party in accordance with this Agreement so long as it retains such Confidential Information.

    5. The Recipient acknowledges that disclosure of any of the Discloser’s Confidential Information in breach of this Agreement could give rise to irreparable injury to the Recipient and that such injury will not be adequately compensated by damages. Accordingly, the Recipient will be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of the foregoing undertaking or an order of specific performance without the requirement of making any payment into court. Such relief shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights or legal remedies available to the Recipient.

  1. Termination.

Either Party may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing the other Party with 30 calendar days’ written notice.

    4. Customer may not assign this Agreement to any third party without Skylock’s prior written consent.

Schedule A

Fees

  1. Skylock will be entitled to retain 10% of the value of the Recovered Tokens, capped at $1,000,000 USD.

  2. The percentage value of the Recovered Tokens that Skylock will be entitled to retain as its Fees will be determined based upon the total amount of Recovered Tokens that Skylock has recovered in each 24 hours period following the time that the Hack took place.

  3. The time that the Hack took place will be based upon the timestamp of the block that was proposed in the Customer Protocol immediately preceding the Hack.

  4. The value of the Recovered Tokens will be determined as set out in Section 3(a) of the Agreement.

For illustrative purposes only, the following is an example of how Fees can be calculated:

The amount of Recovered Tokens that Skylock successfully recovered in the first 24 hours following the time that the applicable Hack took place:

  • 10 Ethereum

  • 500 USDC

The fair market value of the Recovered Tokens in United States dollars at the time the applicable Hack took place are:

  • 1 Ethereum = $4000 USD

  • 1 USDC = $1 USD

The total value of the Recovered Tokens is $40,500 USD. Therefore, the amount of Fees that Skylock is entitled to retain is equivalent to $4,050.
