These Terms of Service and any terms expressly incorporated herein ("Terms") apply to any access to, or use of, any Site or App made available by Salad Technologies ("we", "us" or "Salad Tech"), a Delaware limited liability corporation, using the website www.salad.io (the "Site") or Salad Tech's software mining program known as "Salad" (the "App").

These Terms apply to any users who access the Site or App. By using the Site or App, you agree to be bound by these Terms and any other terms applicable to your use of the Site or App, including the terms of our Privacy Policy. Your access to and use of the Site or App are conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE SITE OR THE APP.

The Site and App are not directed to any person or corporation in any jurisdiction where the publication, access or availability of the Site or App is prohibited. Persons or corporations in respect of whom such publication, access or availability prohibitions apply must not access the Site or App.

Users should obtain their own professional advice should they have any questions about crypto-mining, including, without limitation, pertaining to any tax, technology or electricity questions.

If you are using the Site or App on behalf of a company, group or organization, you agree to these Terms on behalf of that company, group or organization and represent that you have the authority to do so (and in that case, "you", "person" or "their" refers to that group or organization).

1. Overview

1. Salad Tech developed the App which utilizes a portion of the computation power of your personal computer or laptop for the purpose of low-volume crypto-mining through background activity during the regular use of those same computers. By downloading and using the App, you accept that Salad Tech:

   1. licenses the use of the App to you and other users on a non-exclusive and revocable basis and
   2. rents GPU computation power from you when you operate the licensed App through background activity on your personal computer or laptop (the "Rented Computation Power").
2. In consideration for Salad Tech’s rental of your Rented Computation Power, Salad Tech will credit your account with a rental payment based on a percentage of the crypto-currency mined by Salad Tech utilizing your Rented Computation Power at a rate determined by Salad Tech from time to time (the "Rental Fee").
   

3. The Site provides a supplementary online service platform for users of the App. Through the Site you can:
   

   1. Access information related to crypto-currencies;
      
   2. See your personal account balance aggregating your Rental Fee payable to you as consideration for the Rented Computation Power ("Salad Balance");
      
   3. Submit a withdrawal request, as further detailed in Section 2 below; and
      
   4. Communicate directly with Salad Tech representatives.
      
4. You agree that Salad Tech may, in its sole discretion, stop providing the Site or App, stop renting the Rented Computation Power and may discontinue the App and the Site at any time without liability to you. You further agree that Salad Tech may block your access or withhold your Account Balance due to guidance received from Salad Tech’s legal counsel.
   

2. Opening an Account

1. You can only use the Site and App if you can form a legally binding contract with us under the laws that apply to you, according to your location.
   
2. Only one account per individual or entity is allowed. Salad Tech reserves the right to terminate any account and its associated balance and access to the Site or App if multiple accounts are detected.
   
3. Only one referral code may be used per account.
   
4. Your Salad Balance will be incrementally increased based on current crypto-currency market rates regardless of the type of crypto-currency that Salad Tech mines using your Rented Computation Power.
   
5. All risk of currency fluctuations is born by you. This shall hold true regardless of any delay, halt or refusal to process a withdrawal even in the event that the fault, if any, is of Salad Tech for any reason whatsoever. Salad Tech will only provide Salad Balance based on the US Dollar.
   
6. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to notify us of unauthorized use of the App or unauthorized access to your user account.

2. You may only download, install and operate and use the App on a computer owned by you or legally licensed to you for uses including downloading and/or operating of mining software or applications.
