Users must comply with all applicable local laws and regulations. Access to the platform may be restricted in certain jurisdictions where blockchain or cryptocurrency activities are regulated or prohibited.

  • Do not misuse the platform or attempt to interfere with its functionality.
  • Maintain the security of your account, devices, and wallet.
  • Follow local regulations and tax obligations related to crypto use.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this platform—including the Dorsium logo, branding, and documentation—is owned or licensed by Dorsium and protected under intellectual property laws. You may not copy, distribute, or exploit this content without written consent.

8. Disclaimers

Dorsium does not guarantee continuous availability of its services. The platform is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

9. Risk Warning

Participation in the Dorsium platform involves risks, including but not limited to market volatility, regulatory changes, and potential technical vulnerabilities. The DORS token is a utility token providing network access and does not constitute a security, investment product, or financial instrument. Users should not expect profits or financial returns from holding or using DORS tokens.

9.1 dPOINT System

dPOINT is a non-transferable, off-chain point system used during the pre-mainnet phase.

dPOINT:

  • Has NO monetary value
  • Cannot be traded, sold, or transferred
  • Is used solely for tracking network participation
  • Converts to DORS utility tokens at mainnet launch (1:1 ratio)

dPOINT is NOT a cryptocurrency, token, or financial instrument. It is an internal accounting mechanism for the pre-mainnet period.

IMPORTANT: Accumulated dPOINT does not represent an investment or guarantee future value. DORS tokens received after mainnet launch are utility tokens providing network access only.

10. Hardware Purchases

10.1 Product Description

Dorsium hardware (Node Rig, Validator Rig) are physical computing devices designed to participate in the Dorsium network. Hardware purchases include a dPOINT allocation as a utility feature for network participation tracking.

10.2 dPOINT Allocation

The dPOINT allocation included with hardware purchases:

  • Is used for tracking network participation
  • Subject to a 36-month vesting schedule
  • NOT financial instruments or investment products
  • NOT transferable until network mainnet launch

10.3 Pricing and Payment

  • Hardware has NOT been powered on
  • All original packaging, accessories, and documentation are included
