By accessing or using our website (atrium.academy), programs, or services (collectively, “Services”), you (“you”, “your” or “user(s)”) agree to enter into and be bound by these Terms of Service (“Agreement” or “Terms”). By accessing or using the Services, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement.

By accessing our platform or using the Services, you represent, warrant, and covenant that you have the full right, power, and authority to enter into and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement on behalf of yourself or any company or legal entity for which you may access or use the Services.
You represent, warrant, and covenant that you will obey all applicable laws in connection with using the Services, and you will not use the Services if any applicable laws prohibit you from doing so.
You represent, warrant, and covenant that you understand the inherent risks associated with blockchain technology, and have sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice, and experience to make your evaluation of the merits and risks of any transaction conducted in connection with your use of the Services.

Our programs run in cohorts every few months, with occasional self-paced courses. As a participant, you agree to:
Follow any program-specific rules and community guidelines;
Respect the confidentiality and intellectual property of other participants and partner companies;
Not misuse, disrupt, or attempt to reverse-engineer any aspect of our platform; and

I agree to... maintain a positive and constructive attitude, especially during discussions, feedback sessions, and collaborative projects, acknowledging that everyone is learning and growing.

I agree to... actively listen and communicate in a clear, respectful manner, ensuring that my words contribute to a welcoming and supportive environment.
I agree to... offer constructive feedback when necessary, focusing on solutions and improvements rather than personal criticism, to foster growth and learning.
I agree to... seek understanding and clarification before jumping to conclusions or making assumptions, recognizing that communication challenges can arise and everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.
I agree to... support my peers in their learning journey, sharing knowledge and resources, and celebrating their successes, understanding that we all benefit from each other’s growth.
I agree to... embrace mistakes and failures as learning opportunities, both for myself and others, and to encourage a culture where it’s safe to try, fail, and learn without fear of ridicule or reprisal.
I agree to... respect the boundaries and personal space of others, recognizing that consent and personal comfort levels vary, and that everyone’s right to say no should be honored.

I agree to... contribute to an environment where everyone feels empowered to express their ideas, questions, and concerns without fear of dismissal or retaliation.
We are inspired by Recurse Center’s “Social Rules”
No feigning surprise
You shouldn't act surprised when people say they don't know something. This applies to both technical things ("What?! I can't believe you don't know what *the stack* is!") and non-technical things ("You don't know who RMS is?!").
No “well-actuallys”
A well-actually happens when someone says something that's almost - but not entirely - correct, and you say, "well, actually…" and then give a minor correction. This can be very disruptive when the correction has no bearing on the crux of the conversation.
No back-seat driving
If you overhear, or read on Zulip, people working through a problem, you shouldn't give advice unless you’re actively participating in the conversation.
No subtle -isms
Our last social rule bans subtle racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other kinds of bias. Subtle -isms are small things or statements that make others feel unwelcome.
Atrium reserves the right to remove participants at any time who violate any aspect of the Code of Conduct.
Intellectual Property
All course materials, content, and branding are the property of Atrium or our partners unless otherwise stated.
You agree to not engage in the unauthorized use, access, copying, modification or distribution of the Services, or any content available thereon, unless we have given you express written permission. If you print, copy, modify, download, or otherwise use or provide any other person with access to any part of the Services in breach of these Terms, your right to use the Services will stop immediately and you must, at our option, return or destroy any copies of the materials you have made. All rights not expressly granted are hereby reserved by us and its licensors. Any use of the Services not expressly permitted by these Terms is a breach of these Terms and may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.

Grants & Payments
If you receive a developer grant through one of our programs (e.g. the Hookathon), we may request additional legal and tax information to comply with U.S. or other laws and regulations. Grant issuance is at Atrium’s sole discretion and contingent upon successful program participation and verification, and compliance with these Terms and the Code of Conduct.

All information accessible through the Services is for informational purposes only, and should not be construed as investment, tax, or legal advice. Before you make any financial, legal, or other decisions involving the Services, you should seek independent professional advice from an individual who is licensed and qualified in the area for which such advice would be appropriate. We are not your broker, intermediary, agent or advisor and have no fiduciary relationship or obligation with you when you use the Services.

You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we owe you are those set out expressly in this Agreement.
No content found through the Services, whether created by us, our service providers, our business partners, or another user is or should be considered as investment advice. You agree and understand that we accept no responsibility whatsoever for, and shall in no circumstances be liable in connection with, your decisions or your use of the Services.
You agree and understand that all decisions you make in connection with the Services are made solely by you.

IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, OUR AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS OR EACH OF THEIR AND OUR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, OR REPRESENTATIVES, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
WE HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSSES THAT YOU MAY INCUR AS A RESULT OF TRADES, OR OTHER TRANSACTIONS THAT YOU MAY ENGAGE IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING LOSSES ARISING FROM SOFTWARE DEFECTS, MALFUNCTIONS, OR A LACK OF ACCESS TO THE SERVICES.

You expressly agree that you assume all risks in connection with your access and use of the Services, whether such risks are set forth in this Agreement or otherwise. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND RELEASE US FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, AND DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, OR ANY RISKS ARISING FROM SUCH USE. YOU RELEASE US AND OUR AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS AND EACH OF THEIR AND OUR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.
Indemnity
You hereby agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us and our affiliates, licensors, and service providers and each of their and our respective shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and representatives harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal, attorneys’ and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your breach of this Agreement; (b) your improper use of the Services; (c) your interaction with any other user or other third party including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction; or (d) your breach of any applicable laws, regulations or third-party rights. In the event of a claim such as one described in this paragraph, we may elect to settle with the party/parties making the claim and you shall be liable for the damages as though we had proceeded with a trial.
Choice of Law
All matters relating to the Services and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, U.S. without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware, U.S. or any other jurisdiction).
Arbitration
At our sole discretion, we may require you to submit any disputes arising under these Terms, or in connection with your use of the Services, including disputes arising from or concerning their interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, to final and binding arbitration as set forth herein.
IF WE ELECT TO PURSUE ARBITRATION AS SET FORTH HEREIN, ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES (OR ANY PORTION OR ALL OF THE FOREGOING), INCLUDING THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF THESE TERMS, SHALL BE FINALLY RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION. THE TRIBUNAL SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO RULE ON ANY CHALLENGE TO ITS OWN JURISDICTION OR TO THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY PORTION OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.
For any dispute or claim that you have against us, before seeking mediation, arbitration, or any other form of legal relief, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim to us. Such notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Where we receive such a notice, you and we shall attempt in good faith to resolve such claims. The parties agree to maintain the confidential nature of all disputes and disagreements between them, including, but not limited to, informal negotiations, mediation or arbitration, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct a dispute resolution procedure or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
If we cannot reach an agreement with you to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after either party receives a notice for alternative resolution, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS. If there is a dispute about whether this arbitration provision can be enforced or applies to the dispute, you and us agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue. You and us agree that arbitration under this Agreement will substantially and procedurally be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq., to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS before one (1) arbitrator mutually selected by the parties. Arbitration proceedings will be held in a location agreed upon by the parties, in English, and under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules may be found at https://www.jamsadr.com/ and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO OR CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICES, OR THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR BE FOREVER BANNED. IN THE EVENT THAT THE LAW DOES NOT PERMIT THE ABOVE-MENTIONED DISPUTE TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AGREE THAT ANY ACTIONS SHALL BE BROUGHT SOLELY IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION LOCATED WITHIN OR OTHERWISE NEAREST TO NEW YORK, USA.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND WE MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND WE BOTH ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY, AND EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, ARBITRATION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS.
Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. When we amend this Agreement, we will update this page and indicate the date that it was last modified. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes.
Severability
In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it. If two or more provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement you may have with us are deemed to conflict with each other’s operation, you agree that we shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.
