Please read these Terms carefully. They contain important information about the risks of using blockchain applications, the finality of every transaction, and the limits of our liability.
1. Who we are and what these Terms cover
The Silver Void (the "dApp") is an independent project operated by its creator ("we", "us"). These Terms of Use govern your access to the website thesilvervoid.com, its interface, and its use of the smart contracts of The Silver Void. By accessing the dApp, connecting a wallet, or interacting with any of its smart contracts through it, you ("you", "the user") agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the dApp.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority where you live if it is higher.
You may not use the dApp if you are located in, or a resident of, a country or territory where its features are prohibited, or if you are subject to economic sanctions. Some features, in particular duels with a stake, may be restricted or prohibited in certain jurisdictions. It is your sole responsibility to check that your use of every feature is legal where you are. We may restrict access to the interface from any location at our discretion.
3. A non-custodial interface
The dApp is an interface to smart contracts deployed on the LitVM network (and, during testing, on its LiteForge testnet). We never hold, control, or have access to your funds, your NFTs, or your private keys. Every transaction is signed by you in your own wallet and executed directly between your wallet and the smart contracts.
The smart contracts are autonomous. Once deployed, nobody, including us, can pause them, reverse a transaction, change a rule, or recover assets on your behalf. The only administrative role is the curator of the relic catalogue, who can add new relics; it cannot alter, remove, or take any relic or any funds.
4. Testnet
On the LiteForge testnet, zkLTC and every item obtained with it are test assets with no monetary value. Testnet contracts, items, ranks, and data may be reset, migrated, or discontinued at any time and will not carry over to mainnet unless we explicitly announce otherwise.
5. Burns are permanent
Burning sends zkLTC to an address nobody controls. Once a burn is confirmed on-chain, the tokens are destroyed forever and cannot be recovered, reversed, or refunded by anyone, including us. Several features burn part of the amount involved (offerings, duels, the Forge, Lower City sales, ring skins). The share burned for each feature is described in "How it works".
6. All transactions are final
Every action performed through the dApp, including burns, duel stakes, draws, forges, purchases, sales, listings, cosmetic purchases, and badge claims, is final and non-refundable, including in case of user error, a mistaken amount, a wrong network, a misunderstanding of the rules, or a change of mind. You alone are responsible for checking every transaction before confirming it in your wallet.
7. Duels
A duel is a game between two players, each staking zkLTC. The creator seals a hidden move; the opponent joins with theirs; the creator must reveal within the window enforced by the contract (currently 24 hours). If the creator does not reveal in time, the opponent may claim the duel as a forfeit, including the creator's stake. Cancelling an open duel takes two steps and a waiting period during which it can still be joined.
The secret needed to reveal is stored in your browser, with an encrypted backup we cannot read. If you lose it (for example by clearing your browser data or changing device), you may be unable to reveal and lose the duel. We cannot reveal on your behalf.
Stakes are capped according to your rank. Part of each pot is burned and part is retained as a protocol fee, as described in "How it works". Outcomes are final.
Duels involve staking assets on an outcome. You confirm that taking part in them is legal where you are. Do not stake more than you can afford to lose.
8. Relics, draws and the Forge
Draws use a commit-reveal mechanism seeded by blockchain data. We publish the intended odds, but we do not guarantee any particular result, rarity, or sequence of results, and the randomness depends on the underlying network. A sealed draw must be revealed within a limited window, after which it is lost and not refunded.
The Forge permanently destroys the relics you put into it in exchange for one relic of a higher rarity, chosen on-chain. Destroyed relics cannot be recovered.
New relics may be added to the catalogue over time. The rarity, supply, or perceived value of existing relics may change as a result, and we make no promise about the scarcity or value of any relic.
9. What you own
Owning a relic, badge, or other NFT means you control that token on the blockchain. It does not transfer any copyright or other intellectual property. All artwork, names, logos, lore, texts, and other content of The Silver Void remain our property.
As long as you own a relic, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display its artwork for non-commercial purposes, including in your wallet, on marketplaces, and on social media. This licence moves with the token when you sell or transfer it, and ends for you when you no longer hold it. Any commercial use requires our prior written consent.
Rank badges are soulbound: they cannot be transferred or sold.
10. The Lower City (marketplace)
The Lower City lets users list and buy NFTs from any collection on LitVM. Sales are made directly between users through the smart contract; we are not a party to them, we do not hold the items, and we do not act as a broker, agent, or escrow.
Collections other than The Silver Void are created by third parties. A collection being listed, or shown as "verified", is not an endorsement. We are not responsible for their content, authenticity, value, rights, or conduct, and we may hide any collection or listing from the interface at our discretion. Always check the contract address before buying.
A listing may become impossible to complete if the seller moves, sells, or destroys the item, or revokes the marketplace's permission. Fees, the burned share, and any royalties declared by the collection are applied automatically by the contract, as described in "How it works".
11. Fees
Some features charge a fee, part of which is retained by the protocol and part of which may be burned. Current fees are published in "How it works" and are enforced by the smart contracts, which may differ between testnet and mainnet. Resales of relics on other marketplaces may carry a royalty paid to the creator. Every transaction also costs network (gas) fees, paid to the network, not to us.
12. Profile, ranks and cosmetics
Ranks, badges, feats, titles, ring skins, usernames, and avatars are features of the game. They have no monetary value and confer no right, ownership share, or claim against us.
Usernames, avatars, equipped skins, and similar profile data are stored on our servers, outside the blockchain. We may refuse, change, or remove any username that is offensive, misleading, impersonates someone, or infringes rights, and we may reset profile data if necessary. Purchased ring skins are recorded on-chain and remain yours.
13. The Chronicles and future features
The Chronicles, the Path, and any roadmap are creative works and plans, not commitments. Unlock thresholds, schedules, content, and features may change, be delayed, or be abandoned. No purchase or burn entitles you to any future feature, content, airdrop, or reward.
14. Prohibited conduct
You agree not to: exploit bugs or vulnerabilities, or fail to report one you discover; use bots or scripts to abuse the interface or its servers; overload, scrape, or attack our services; manipulate prices, volumes, rankings, or duel results, including by trading or duelling with yourself through several wallets; impersonate others or the project; use the dApp for money laundering, fraud, sanctions evasion, or any unlawful purpose. We may block access to the interface for anyone who breaches these Terms.
15. Risks you accept
You understand and accept that: crypto assets are volatile and may lose all value; LitVM is a new network that may suffer outages, congestion, reorganisations, or changes; smart contracts may contain bugs despite testing and audits; transactions may fail or cost more than expected; laws and regulations may change and affect the dApp or your use of it; and phishing sites may imitate the dApp. Only use thesilvervoid.com and always check what your wallet asks you to sign.
16. Third-party services
The dApp relies on services we do not control, including your wallet, the LitVM network and its RPC providers, Arweave (artwork storage), our hosting provider, and other marketplaces or explorers. We are not responsible for their availability, security, or actions.
17. No financial advice, no investment
Nothing on the dApp is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. zkLTC burned, relics, badges, and cosmetics are not investments, and you should not use the dApp with any expectation of profit. You are responsible for any taxes that apply to your transactions.
18. No warranty
The dApp and the smart contracts are provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty, express or implied, including of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, accuracy, security, or non-infringement.
19. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of funds, tokens, NFTs, data, profits, or opportunities arising from your use of, or inability to use, the dApp or the smart contracts, including losses caused by bugs, exploits, network failures, lost secrets, wallet compromise, or third-party services. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the fees retained by the protocol from your own transactions during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
20. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of any third party's rights.
21. Changes and discontinuation
We may modify these Terms at any time. When they change materially, you will be asked to accept the new version before continuing. We may change, suspend, or discontinue the interface at any time; the smart contracts remain on the blockchain and can still be used by other means.
22. Privacy
We collect as little as possible. Your wallet address and your transactions are public on the blockchain by nature. If you choose them, we store your username, avatar, and equipped skin, linked to your wallet address. Messages sent through the feedback form are delivered to us by email through a form service. Our hosting provider may process technical data such as IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. Your browser stores your preferences, duel secrets, and acceptance of these Terms locally.
We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). We do not sell your data, and we do not use advertising trackers. You may ask us to delete your off-chain profile data at any time through the feedback form. Data recorded on the blockchain cannot be deleted by anyone.
23. Governing law
These Terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms or the dApp shall be submitted exclusively to the ordinary courts at the operator's domicile in Switzerland, subject to any mandatory place of jurisdiction for consumers under applicable law.
24. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the dApp. They are written in English; any translation is for convenience only.
