Last updated: June 26, 2026
Welcome to Mintpad. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Mintpad interface, accessible via website and related services (collectively, the "Platform" or "Mintpad").

- Ensure that your access to and use of the Platform is legal in your place of residence.
Jurisdictional Responsibility:
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your access to and use of Mintpad complies with all laws, regulations, sanctions, and restrictions applicable in your jurisdiction. Mintpad may not be available or suitable for use where the use of digital assets, NFTs, or cryptocurrencies is prohibited or restricted.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, users residing in, citizens of, or accessing the Platform from the following jurisdictions are subject to strict local prohibitions, licensing requirements, or sanctions, and are solely responsible for ensuring full legal compliance:

2. Nature of Mintpad
Mintpad is a decentralized, non-custodial software interface that indexes and displays publicly available digital asset data. You acknowledge and agree that:
- No Intermediary: Mintpad is not a bank, exchange, broker, financial advisor, or custodian.
- No Custody: Mintpad never holds or has access to your digital assets (NFTs or cryptocurrencies), private keys, seed phrases, or passwords.
- No Recovery: Because we do not control your assets or wallet credentials, Mintpad cannot recover your wallet, private keys, or digital assets under any circumstances.
- No Fiduciary Relationship: Nothing in Mintpad or these Terms creates a partnership, agency, joint venture, fiduciary, advisory, brokerage, or investment relationship between Mintpad and its users. All interactions with the blockchain are completed entirely at your own direction and discretion.
3. No Financial Advice
Mintpad does not provide investment, financial, legal, accounting, or tax advice. Information displayed on the Platform, including floor prices, rarity rankings, trading activity, collection statistics, or other market data, is provided solely for informational purposes and should not be relied upon as investment advice. All decisions to buy, sell, mint, or otherwise interact with digital assets are made solely by the user at their own discretion and risk.
4. Wallet Security and Connection
To use the Platform, you must connect a third-party non-custodial wallet (e.g., Trust Wallet, MetaMask, or other compatible Web3 wallets).
- Sole Responsibility: You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your wallet, including private keys, seed phrases, and passwords.
- Signed Transactions: You are solely responsible for reviewing and signing transactions, managing smart contract approvals, and revoking approvals when they are no longer desired.
- No Access: Mintpad never requests, collects, or has access to your wallet passwords, private keys, or recovery phrases.
5. Blockchain Transactions
All listings, offers, purchases, sales, transfers, and drops on Mintpad are executed directly on-chain via smart contracts on the public blockchain (e.g., Cronos mainnet).
- No Settlement Control: Mintpad does not process payments or control the settlement of transactions.
- No Reversals: Transactions on a public blockchain are final and irreversible. Mintpad cannot reverse transactions, cancel completed purchases, recover assets, or refund paid gas fees.
6. Platform Fees
Platform fees, if applicable, are disclosed before transaction confirmation and may be modified from time to time. Any changes apply only to future transactions. Users are responsible for checking current applicable fees before signing transactions.
7. No Warranty of Smart Contracts
Mintpad does not develop, audit, guarantee, or warrant the security or functionality of third-party smart contracts, NFT collections, or decentralized applications displayed on the Platform. The indexation or presentation of any contract or asset on the Platform is not a guarantee of its safety, compliance, or operation.
8. Launchpad and Drops
NFT collections launched through Mintpad are created and managed by independent creators. Mintpad does not guarantee the quality, legitimacy, roadmap, utility, delivery of promised benefits, or future value of any project launched through the Platform.
9. User Responsibility
When interacting with the Platform, you are solely responsible for:
- Verifying the authenticity and legitimacy of any NFT, creator, or collection.
- Checking and confirming the accuracy of prices, parameters, and recipient addresses before signing any transaction.
- Paying all network transaction fees (gas fees) required to execute on-chain operations.
- Determining, reporting, and paying any taxes applicable to your blockchain transactions.
- Complying with all local, state, and international laws, regulations, and tax requirements.
10. No Refunds
Because blockchain transactions are permanent and irreversible, Mintpad cannot issue refunds or recover funds under any circumstances, including but not limited to:
- Accidental purchases or mistaken transfers.
- Incorrect listing prices or typographical errors.
- Phishing attacks, wallet compromise, or unauthorized signature actions.
- Platform outages, network congestion, or general user error.
11. Indexed Content and Guarantees
Mintpad displays metadata, image assets, ownership records, transfer logs, listing states, and transaction histories by indexing public blockchain ledger data.
- No Guarantee: Mintpad does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, uptime, availability, permanence, or authenticity of any displayed data or collection metadata.
- No Endorsement: The display of any collection, listing, or project on the Platform does not constitute an endorsement, verification, or validation by Mintpad.
- Automated Indexing: Mintpad may automatically index publicly available blockchain data, including collections that have not been reviewed, verified, or approved by Mintpad. Users are solely responsible for verifying the legitimacy, ownership, and safety of any NFT or collection before interacting with it.
12. Third-Party Services
Mintpad relies on third-party services to function, including but not limited to Web3 wallet providers, RPC providers, IPFS gateways, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), external APIs, and metadata storage solutions.
- No Liability: Mintpad does not own, control, or maintain these third-party components. We are not responsible for their security, availability, uptime, functionality, or content. Use of third-party tools is subject to their respective terms.
13. Risk Acknowledgment
By using Mintpad, you express and acknowledge the inherent risks of blockchain technology, including:
- High price volatility of NFTs and cryptocurrencies, which may lead to total loss of value.
- Vulnerabilities in smart contracts, network congestion, and potential blockchain hard forks.
- Social engineering, scams, phishing sites, and wallet compromise.
- Regulatory changes that could restrict or completely prohibit digital asset trading in your jurisdiction.
You acknowledge that NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technologies are experimental and inherently risky. You may lose all or part of the value of your digital assets, and such losses may be permanent.
14. No Control Over Blockchain Networks
Mintpad does not own, operate, maintain, or control any blockchain network, validator, smart contract deployed by third parties, decentralized protocol, or consensus mechanism. Mintpad is solely a software interface that facilitates interaction with public blockchain networks. Mintpad is not responsible for blockchain performance, validator behavior, transaction ordering, gas fees, network forks, consensus failures, chain reorganizations, or any other events occurring on the underlying blockchain.
