This Terms of Use Agreement (“Agreement”) constitutes a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“user” or “you” or “developer”) and Hackerlink Limited incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and its affiliated companies (collectively, “Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”), concerning your access to and use of the website at https://dorahacks.io as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application related or connected thereto (collectively, the “Website”).

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree that disputes between you and company will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and you waive your right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or other representative proceeding.

The Website provides the following services:

Open source—the Company Services include a feature that facilitates developers creating and sharing the ideas with the DoraHacks community. Such Company Service may take advantage of third-party services such as GitHub to facilitate such sharing.
Profiles—developers can create enhanced profiles and displays that include user timelines and display BUIDLs, projects, organizations, Hackathon participation, idea sharing, Bounties, governance credits, following/followers and Grant participations (“Profiles”), and other personal and organizational profile information.
Hackers—hackers here do not mean crackers or black-hat hackers who conduct destructive activities. Rather, hackers on the DoraHacks platform are creative and technical people who have personalities and skills defined by the Hacker Culture, although through time the hacker community has greatly evolved from the original sub-cultural community into a major innovative force of the world.
BUIDLs—this is a platform that allows a developer to upload and submit a project (called “BUIDLs”) to the Website. We reserve the right, but do not have an obligation, to review and reject any proposed and submitted BUIDLs before they are posted on the Website.
- BUIDL Collections—this is a tool that can be used to create BUIDLs.
- BUIDL Reports—this is a feature that uses artificial intelligence like ChatGPT to create content and reports.
- BUIDLink—this is a feature that allows venture capital investors to connect with VC teams.
Hackathons—these are events that developers, hackers and users can create and display through their Profiles. These can be competitions or giveaways according to rules specified by the developers, hackers, or sponsors of the Hackathon(s).
- Hackathon Prize Safe—this is an optional function to securely manage and distribute hackathon prizes. This function can protect the interests of both the bachathon organizers and hackers.
Bounties—hackers, developers and other users can create and participate in bounty programs and get rewards by completing tasks and winning competitions (“Bounty”).
- DAO Bounties—users can solve problems and get rewarded via cryptocurrencies.
- Bug Bounty—users can find bugs/risks in a project, smart contract, or any software repository and get incentives after identifying and/or solving the bugs/risks.
- Mini Bounties - users can complete tasks and get rewarded. Tasks are designed and managed by bounty owners.
Grants—developers can submit projects, participate in grant funding and related community governance rounds such as quadratic funding via donation from users or other hackers/developers, and receive funds to be distributed based on voting results (“Grant”). Users can donate to the project that will generally have a bigger funding pool and matching pool than other Grants.
- Quadratic Funding—Single grant rounds funding a specific set of BUIDLs or projects. The grant round distributes grant funding with any self-defined voting mechanisms such as quadratic voting, 1-person-1-vote, token voting, or zero-knowledge based secure voting.
- Grant DAO—A Grant DAO is a dedicated, often long-term program to continuously support early-stage ventures and public good projects. A Grant DAO can apply any funding and governance mechanisms to support BUIDL projects related to a certain technology, mission, blockchain ecosystem, or problem.
MACI—this is a special voting mechanism for promotional purposes. Developers can set this up to allow users to vote or donate to a project. Developers cannot see the vote; they just see final results. The results are validated by technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs.
Ideas—developers can post ideas using hashtag “#Your_ideathon”, and also can get involved in other developers’ ideas.
Ideaism—AI generated ideas posted on DoraHacks, in parallel with human posted ideas. Human users and AI can interact with each other around a specific idea on DoraHacks.
Mini Grant—organizations can provide financial support to early-stage hacker teams with innovative ideas and projects that hold promise for the future and the society. Through the Mini Grant platform, teams can submit their BUIDL projects and receive funding.
Mail—this is a convenient way that allows users to send in-site mails to the target users.

Disputes and Choice of Law

We have no responsibility for such disputes. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you hereby release Company, its officers, employees, agents and successors in rights from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or the Company Services.

With Company

All questions of law, rights, and remedies regarding any act, event or occurrence undertaken pursuant or relating to this Website or the Company Services shall be governed and construed by the laws of Singapore, without regard to choice of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Website or Company Services or this Agreement , including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination (a “Dispute”) shall be subject to resolution under this provision.

The Company wants to address your concerns without the need for a formal legal dispute. Before filing a claim against us you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us at support@dorahacks.com to notify us of the actual or potential Dispute. Similarly, we will undertake reasonable efforts to contact you to notify you of any actual or potential dispute to resolve any claim we may possess informally before taking any formal action. The party that provides the notice of the actual or potential Dispute (the “Notifying Party”) will include in that notice (a “Notice of Dispute”) the name of User, the Notifying Party’s contact information for any communications relating to such Dispute (including for the Notifying Party’s legal counsel if it is represented by counsel in connection with such Dispute), and sufficient details regarding such Dispute to enable the other party (the “Notified Party”) to understand the basis of and evaluate the concerns raised. If the Notified Party responds within ten (10) business days after receiving the Notice of Dispute that it is ready and willing to engage in good faith discussions in an effort to resolve the Dispute informally, then each party shall promptly participate in such discussions in good faith.

If, notwithstanding the Notifying Party’s compliance with all of its obligations under the preceding paragraph, a Dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the Notice of Dispute is sent (or if the Notified Party fails to respond to the Notice of Dispute within ten (10) business days), the Notifying Party may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below. If either party purports to initiate arbitration without first providing a Notice of Dispute and otherwise complying with all of its obligations under the preceding paragraph, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the arbitrator(s) will promptly dismiss the claim with prejudice and will award the other party all of its costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such Dispute.

Any Dispute that cannot be resolved per the above procedure shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC Rules”) for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. Subject, however, to the right of Company, at the Company’s sole discretion, to bring an action to seek injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement or to stop or prevent an infringement of proprietary or other third party rights (or any similar cause of action) in any applicable court in any jurisdiction exists with regard to a user. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore. The Tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrator(s). The language of the arbitration shall be English.

You and the Company agree that the arbitration of any Dispute shall proceed on an individual basis, and neither you nor Company may bring a claim as a part of a class, group, collective, coordinated, consolidated or mass arbitration (each, a “Collective Arbitration”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a claim to resolve any Dispute against Company will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if (a) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are filed concurrently by or on behalf of one or more claimants; and (b) counsel for the claimants are the same, share fees or coordinate across the arbitrations. “Concurrently” for purposes of this provision means that both arbitrations are pending (filed but not yet resolved) at the same time.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither you nor Company shall be entitled to consolidate, join or coordinate disputes by or against other individuals or entities, or arbitrate or litigate any dispute in a representative capacity, including as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. In connection with any dispute (as defined above), any and all such rights are hereby expressly and unconditionally waived. Without limiting the foregoing, any challenge to the validity of this paragraph shall be determined exclusively by the arbitrator.

In no event shall any claim, action or proceeding by you related in any way to the Website and/or the Company Services (including your visit to or use of the Website and/or the Company Services) be instituted more than two (2) years after the cause of action arose. You will be liable for any attorneys’ fees and costs if we have to take any legal action to enforce this Agreement.
