Terms of Service

    Last Updated: 14th June 2026

    Welcome to Blurt.blog ("Blurt", "we", "us", "our"). These Terms of Service ("Agreement") govern your access to and use of blurt.blog, blurtwallet.com and related domains, subdomains and services (collectively, the "Services").

    Blurt is a decentralized, immutable blockchain-based social blogging platform operated and maintained by a small team of volunteer developers and founding members.

    By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity to this Agreement.

    We may update this Agreement from time to time. We will post the revised version with a new "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Services after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

    1. Privacy Policy

    Please review our Privacy Policy for details on how we collect, use, and disclose information.

    2. Eligibility

    The Service is not directed to, and may not be used by, any person who is below the minimum age required to lawfully access or use the Service in their jurisdiction. In no event may any person under the age of 13 access or use the Service.

    By accessing or using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet the minimum age requirements applicable in your jurisdiction. Where the laws of your jurisdiction require a higher minimum age for access to social media, online platforms, or similar services (including, without limitation, age restrictions of 16 years or older), you must satisfy those requirements before accessing or using the Service.

    If you are under 18 years of age, or under the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (whichever is higher), you may access or use the Service only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by this Agreement.

    3. Blockchain Nature of the Platform

    Blurt operates on a public, immutable blockchain governed by a decentralized worldwide network of independent witnesses (validators).

    Any post, comment, vote, or other action you commit to the blockchain is permanently recorded and publicly visible. While we may hide certain content from our user interface for security, or due to user preference settings, it remains accessible via the blockchain, block explorers, or third-party front-ends and cannot be deleted or altered by us.

    You are solely responsible for your on-chain actions.

    4. User Content and Conduct

    You retain ownership of the content you create and post ("Your Content"). By posting Your Content, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, display, and distribute it as necessary to operate the Services.

    You are responsible for Your Content and agree not to post content that:

    • Violates applicable laws or infringes third-party rights (including copyright, trademark, or privacy rights);
    • Is abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or promotes violence, illegal activity, spam, or scams;
    • Interferes with the Services or other users' enjoyment;
    • Attempts to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data.

    We do not endorse or assume responsibility for any user content.

    5. Licenses and Intellectual Property

    Blurt is an open-source and open-access platform intended for both personal and business blogging, social media engagement, and related uses.

    We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for any lawful personal or business purpose, subject to the terms and restrictions of this Agreement.

    This license does not include the right to:

    • Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works of the Services or any substantial portion thereof (except for any components explicitly released under an open-source license);
    • Use the Services to build, operate, or promote a competing service or platform;
    • Scrape, crawl, or extract content or data from the Services at scale using automated means;
    • Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices;
    • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise extract the source code of the Services (except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable open-source licenses or mandatory law);
    • Engage in any activity that harms, disrupts, or burdens the Services, the Blurt blockchain, or other users.

    The visual design, code, and layout of the Services are protected by copyright and may not be copied or reused without permission.

    Third parties building on the Blurt blockchain are welcome to contact us regarding branding questions.

    6. Accounts, Private Keys, and Security

    You may create a Blurt blockchain account through the Services or independently. We do not custody your private keys or wallet password. We never ask for them and strongly advise you never to share them.

    You are solely responsible for:

    • Maintaining the security of your account, password, and private keys;
    • All activities under your account;
    • Backing up your account information outside the Services.

    We are not responsible for losses due to lost keys, forgotten passwords, unauthorized access, or user error.

    7. Transactions and Irreversibility

    All blockchain transactions are processed by the decentralized Blurt network. Once submitted, transactions cannot be canceled or modified by us. You are responsible for verifying transaction details before submission. We are not liable for failed, delayed, or erroneous transactions.

    8. No Financial Services or Custody

    We do not store, send, receive, or custody any BLURT, Blurt Power, or other digital assets. We provide only an interface to the blockchain. Any asset transfers occur solely on the blockchain.

    9. Disclaimers and Assumption of Risk

    The Services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind. We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for purpose, and non-infringement to the maximum extent permitted by law.

    You assume all risks associated with using a decentralized blockchain platform, including (but not limited to) technical failures, security breaches, loss of access to keys, volatility of digital assets, and changes in the underlying protocol or network.

    We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that the Services are free of viruses or harmful components.

    10. Limitation of Liability

    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Blurt, its founders, maintainers, developers, volunteers, affiliates, or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages (including loss of profits, data, goodwill, use, or other intangible losses) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

    11. Indemnification

    You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Blurt, its founders, founder members, volunteers, maintainers, affiliates, and service providers from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

    • Your use of the Services;
    • Your Content or conduct;
    • Your violation of this Agreement or applicable laws;
    • Your infringement of third-party rights.

    12. Third-Party Services and Content

    The Services may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, services, or content. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for them. Your interactions with third parties are solely between you and them at your own risk.

    13. Suspension and Termination

    We may suspend, limit or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including breach of this Agreement. Upon termination, you remain responsible for any on-chain actions and must use external tools (with your private keys) to access your blockchain assets.

    14. Modifications to the Services

    We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time without liability.

    15. Copyright and Takedown Requests

    We will respond to valid requests and may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content. Repeat infringers may have their access terminated.

    Misrepresentations in takedown notices may result in liability.

    16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of a jurisdiction chosen by the service provider, without regard to conflict of law principles, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
