1. OUR SERVICES

1.1 Our Services. The Services consists of a directory of (a) decentralized applications and programs that exist and run on a blockchain technology or peer-to-peer network (“Dapps”) organised by category, (b) Web3 and blockchain events from around the world ("Events"), (c) exciting rewards and incentive programs through experiencing a wide array of Dapps on various blockchain networks through Cryptopedia ("Cryptopedia Programs"). Unless stated in writing to the contrary, these Dapps, Events and Cryptopedia Programs are all owned and operated by their respective Third Party Platforms (which may operate their own Third Party Blockchain) which OKX is not associated with, nor has any control over. OKX only provides an online platform to aggregate these Dapps, Events and Cryptopedia Programs, and is not a party to any transactions made through Services.

1.2 Use of Digital Wallet Is Required. In order to use the Services, you may have to connect a digital wallet such as an OKX Web3 Wallet. You are solely responsible for any Loss that may arise from your use of your digital wallet through the course of the Services. Your digital Wallet log-in credentials and authentication information are not accessible by OKX, and we will not keep or maintain such files, passwords, mnemonic phrases, and/or private keys.

Additionally, because OKX may not access your digital wallet, OKX is not responsible, and you are responsible, for any transactions executed by or involving your digital wallet, regardless of whether you have approved or authorised such transactions.

1.3 Password and Private Key. Digital wallets may have various decentralized characteristics of blockchain technology. These decentralized services are different from banking financial institutions. You understand and accept that OKX is not responsible for the following: storage of your security Password (which is the Password you set when you create or import your wallet); Private Key and Mnemonic Phrase; retrieval of your security Password, Private Key or Mnemonic Phrase; freezing of your wallet, reports of lost wallet; restoration of your wallet; or other actions required to maintain or access your wallet. Please keep all of these safe as your inability to access these will prevent you from accessing your wallet and any Digital Assets or other funds you may have.

1.4 How Dapps and Events are Organised on Services. Various factors determine how Dapps, Events and Cryptopedia Programs are organised on Services ("Discover Layout"), including but not limited to the categories (e.g. "featured", "popular", "rising stars") they appear in and their order of appearance. These factors include but are not limited to daily active users, user engagement, and OKX’s policies regarding Services. You understand and accept that (a) we do not implicitly or explicitly endorse or promote any Dapps, Events and Cryptopedia Programs through the Discover Layout; and (b) we have the right to add, change or update the Discover Layout or remove any Dapps, Events and Cryptopedia Programs from Services at our sole discretion.

Any and all description, text, pictures, graphics, and other content and information ("Information") about the Dapps, Events and Cryptopedia Programs on Services are generated or provided by Third Party Platforms and shall not constitute any representation, warranty, undertaking or endorsement of any Dapps, Events or Cryptopedia Programs by OKX. OKX shall not be responsible for any errors or omissions in the Information and does not verify, curate or evaluate the content and/or functionalities of the Dapps, Events and Cryptopedia Programs accessible on Services. You understand and accept that you may encounter Dapps, Events and Cryptopedia Programs that do not match their Information, or which may be offensive, indecent, objectionable, non-functional, or inactive.
