FirstBlood® Dapp is a decentralized esports gaming platform that allows individuals to test their skills, compete in popular esport online games ("esport Games"), initially DOTA 21, and have a stake on the outcome of a game. FirstBlood® Dapp is free, public, open source software and a set of smart contracts that are deployed to the Ethereum blockchain (collectively, the "FirstBlood Dapp Platform"). Before using the FirstBlood Dapp Platform, please review the FAQs for an explanation on how the FirstBlood Dapp Platform works, including how it may be used for playing challenges, witnessing and hosting challenges, acting as a juror, and claiming rewards as a referrer.
FirstBlood Technologies, Inc. ("FirstBlood Technologies") does not control the FirstBlood Dapp Platform, but rather may support, develop and maintain the free, open-source protocol that is FirstBlood Dapp. The FirstBlood Dapp is made available under the MIT open source license -- and the disclaimers contained therein apply including that the FirstBlood Dapp is provided "AS IS" and "WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED". You acknowledge that the FirstBlood Dapp Platform and smart contracts may not comply with their intended design, and witnesses or jurors may act in their own self-interest thwarting fair play and causing you to lose a challenge or game (and therefore the 1ST token (defined below) you provided as the challenge allocation) when in fact you should have won the challenge or game (and collected your opponent’s challenge allocation). As further explained in the FAQs, certain functionality in the FirstBlood Dapp is predicated upon the period of time that it takes to record a certain number of Ethereum blocks within a blockchain. You acknowledge that you will not have recourse, and will lose the benefit of such functionality, in the event that the Ethereum blocks are recorded at faster than expected speeds or the number of blocks required to trigger the functionality are not recorded. FIRSTBLOOD TECHNOLOGIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LIABILITY OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR USE, INABILITY TO USE, OR YOUR INTERACTION WITH OTHER USERS OF, THE FIRSTBLOOD DAPP, FISTBLOOD DAPP PLATFORM OR ESPORT GAMES, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF PROFITS, 1ST TOKENS, OR DATA.
The use of the esport Game is governed not by the MIT license but by the subscription agreement, terms of service, privacy policy or other documents selected and identified by the publisher of such game as governing its use. FIRSTBLOOD ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ESPORT GAME, YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY ESPORT GAME, OR THE FUNCTIONALITY OF ANY ESPORT GAME, INCLUDING ITS FAILURE TO FUNCTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DOCUMENTATION.
You acknowledge that the current version of the FirstBlood Dapp Platform is a beta version and as such has not been fully-tested and may not perform as designed. While you should always be thoughtful about the risk of losing the FirstBlood cryptocurrency token (the "1ST token") you provide as a challenge allocation through the FirstBlood Dapp Platform, the concerns regarding loss of these cryptocurrency tokens is particularly acute with beta software that may not perform as designed, including that the beta version of the FirstBlood Dapp Platform may not accurately reflect the intent of the smart contract or the FAQs. (For more information about the quality and accuracy of the FirstBlood Dapp, please see a report regarding a third party audit conducted on the FirstBlood Dapp smart contract codebase: https://github.com/Firstbloodio/dapp/blob/master/docs/FirstBloodContractAuditReportv3.2.pdf.) In connection with the use of the FirstBlood Dapp Platform, bugs, errors or other issues may occur in connection with third party technologies, like the game itself (e.g., DOTA 2) and internet connectivity, and such failures and issues may not be contemplated by the FirstBlood Dapp Platform or provide an opportunity to have 1ST tokens returned to you. Careful due diligence should be undertaken as to the amount of 1ST tokens you risk using the FirstBlood Dapp Platform in beta format with full understanding that any use of these tokens/cryptocurrencies is subject to total loss. You assume any and all risk associated with your use of the FirstBlood Dapp Platform and the use and loss of 1ST tokens or any other cryptocurrency.
On the FirstBlood Dapp Platform, the 1ST tokens may be used for playing matches, witnessing matches and voting on the jury, hosting tournaments, and claiming rewards from referrals, and in the future, other tokens or cryptocurrencies may be used. Although FirstBlood Technologies has not sought to list 1ST tokens on cryptocurrency exchanges, it is aware that 1ST tokens has been listed on certain exchanges and in the future it may be delisted on these exchanges and/or listed on others. FirstBlood Technologies disavows any obligation with respect to the listing of 1ST tokens on exchanges and it disavows any responsibility with respect to the value or trading of 1ST tokens on exchanges. Persons trading 1ST tokens or otherwise engaging in activities involving 1ST tokens on exchanges assume any and all risk, including that of total loss, associated with such activities.
