3. Decentralized Social Media Features
3.1 Overview of Social Media Features
Dlicom provides users with a decentralized social media platform that includes a variety of interactive features, such as:
Posting Content: Users can create and share posts that may include text, images, videos, links, and other media.
Commenting and Reactions: Users can comment on and react to posts by other users.
Chat and Messaging: Users can engage in direct messaging, which includes text, voice, video calls, and media sharing within encrypted conversations.
Story Sharing: Users can share ephemeral content, similar to "stories" on traditional social media platforms, which disappear after a set period of time.
These features are built on a decentralized architecture, meaning that content and interactions are not stored on centralized servers but are distributed across a decentralized network using technologies such as IPFS. This enhances user privacy and control over their data.
3.2 User Content Ownership
As a decentralized platform, Dlicom enables users to retain ownership of all content they create, including posts, media, and interactions. By using the platform, you grant Dlicom a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display your content on the platform solely for the purposes of operating the service. However, this license does not transfer ownership of your content to Dlicom, and you remain the sole owner of your data.
Given the decentralized nature of Dlicom, content you post may be stored on decentralized nodes within the IPFS network. While this enhances privacy and security, it may also mean that complete deletion of content across the entire network is not always possible.
3.3 Data Privacy and Encryption
Dlicom prioritizes the privacy and security of your communications and interactions. All direct messages, voice calls, and video calls on the platform are end-to-end encrypted, meaning only the participants involved in the conversation can access the content. Dlicom does not have access to or store the contents of these communications.
For posts and public interactions, while content is publicly accessible to other users on the platform, it is still stored and managed through decentralized protocols to ensure privacy and resistance to censorship. Media shared within the platform is encrypted and distributed using decentralized storage, ensuring that your data remains private and protected from unauthorized access.
3.4 Content Moderation and Responsibility
While Dlicom is a decentralized platform, users are still expected to comply with community guidelines and applicable laws when posting content or interacting with others. You are responsible for ensuring that the content you post or share does not violate any laws or infringe on the rights of others.
Dlicom may implement content moderation protocols, such as community flagging or automated detection tools, to identify and address illegal or harmful content. However, due to the decentralized nature of the platform, moderation may be limited in some cases. Content that is deemed illegal, harmful, or in violation of community guidelines may result in suspension or termination of your account.
3.5 User Control and Data Deletion
Dlicom provides users with full control over their social media data, including the ability to edit or delete posts, comments, and other interactions. When you choose to delete content, Dlicom will remove it from the platform and its decentralized storage. However, due to the nature of decentralized networks, complete removal of data from all decentralized nodes may not always be guaranteed.
In accordance with GDPR and other privacy regulations, users have the right to request the deletion of their personal data. Although Dlicom does not collect traditional personal data such as names or emails, any content or interactions stored on the platform may be subject to deletion upon request, where feasible. Users can exercise their right to delete or manage their data directly through the platform or by contacting [[email protected]].
3.6 Compliance with GDPR
For users located in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), Dlicom is committed to ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This includes providing users with the following rights regarding their content and data:
Right to Access: Users have the right to request access to the content they have created and stored on the platform.
Right to Rectification: Users can correct or update their content or posts if they believe the information is incorrect or incomplete.
Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Users can request the deletion of their content from the platform. While we strive to fulfill such requests, the decentralized nature of our platform may limit the ability to completely remove all instances of content from decentralized nodes.
Right to Restrict Processing: Users may request to restrict the processing of their content in certain situations, such as during the investigation of a data concern.
Right to Data Portability: Users have the right to receive their data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
4. Non-Custodial Wallet
4.1 Overview of Non-Custodial Wallet
Dlicom provides a non-custodial wallet as a core feature of the platform, allowing users to securely manage their cryptocurrency assets without relying on third parties to hold or control their funds. As a non-custodial wallet, Dlicom does not have access to your private keys or assets, ensuring that you retain full control and ownership over your cryptocurrency at all times. The wallet supports multiple cryptocurrencies and tokens, allowing users to store, send, receive, swap, and stake their digital assets directly within the platform. This provides a decentralized financial experience that is fully under the user's control.
4.2 User Responsibility for Wallet Security
By using the Dlicom non-custodial wallet, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the security and management of your private keys and recovery phrases. Dlicom does not store or have access to your private keys, seed phrases, or any other sensitive wallet information. This means that if you lose access to your private keys or recovery phrases, Dlicom will not be able to recover your funds.
It is essential that you take appropriate measures to secure your private keys, including using strong passwords, backing up your recovery phrases in a secure location, and being cautious of phishing attempts or malicious software that could compromise your wallet.
4.3 Transactions and Irreversibility
All transactions made using the Dlicom non-custodial wallet, including token transfers, swaps, and staking, are conducted directly on the blockchain. Once a transaction is initiated and confirmed, it cannot be reversed. Dlicom has no control over the blockchain and cannot cancel or modify transactions after they have been processed.
You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the transaction details, such as recipient addresses and amounts, before confirming a transaction. Dlicom is not liable for any losses or errors resulting from incorrect transaction details, loss of funds due to unauthorized access, or any other issues related to the management of your wallet.
4.4 Data Collection and Privacy in the Non-Custodial Wallet
Dlicom operates with a strong focus on privacy and decentralization. As such, the non-custodial wallet feature does not require the collection of personal data. The platform processes only public wallet addresses and transaction data that are necessary to facilitate wallet operations.
No Personal Data Collected: When using the Dlicom wallet, no personally identifiable information (PII) is collected or stored. The wallet interacts with public blockchain networks to process transactions, but Dlicom does not link public wallet addresses to personal information such as your name, email address, or other identifying data.
Public Blockchain Data: Transactions conducted through the Dlicom wallet are recorded on the relevant blockchain, which is a public ledger. This means that transaction details, such as wallet addresses and transaction amounts, are publicly visible on the blockchain. However, this information is not associated with personal data unless the user has chosen to disclose such information elsewhere.
4.5 Data Security and Encryption
Dlicom employs industry-standard encryption protocols to ensure that all communications between your device and the blockchain are secure. While the platform does not store your private keys, it provides an encrypted environment for wallet interactions to protect against unauthorized access during the use of the wallet.
To further enhance security, users are encouraged to activate additional security measures, such as two-factor authentication (2FA) and hardware wallets, where applicable, to safeguard their assets.
4.7 User Rights and Data Deletion
As Dlicom does not store personal data related to the non-custodial wallet, traditional requests for data deletion under GDPR do not apply. However, users retain full control over their wallet and transaction data, which is stored on the blockchain. If users wish to cease using the wallet, they may simply uninstall the Dlicom app and transfer their funds to another wallet.
Dlicom does not have the ability to delete or alter blockchain data, as it is maintained on decentralized networks beyond the control of the platform.
5. IPFS Data Storage
5.1 Overview of IPFS Data Storage
Dlicom leverages the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for decentralized data storage, ensuring that user-generated content, such as posts, media, and communications, are stored across a distributed network rather than on centralized servers. This approach aligns with Dlicom’s core principle of decentralization, providing enhanced privacy, security, and resilience to censorship.
IPFS is a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol that allows data to be stored on multiple nodes across a global network. Data is split into cryptographically hashed fragments and distributed, meaning that no single entity controls the data or the storage network. This ensures that data remains available and secure even in the event of network failures or attempts at censorship.
5.2 How Data is Stored on IPFS
When users upload data to the Dlicom platform—whether it be text posts, images, videos, or files—this data is encrypted and then stored across multiple nodes on the IPFS network. Each piece of data is assigned a unique hash that acts as an identifier, enabling retrieval from the distributed storage system.
Data Fragmentation: The data is fragmented and distributed across different nodes, ensuring that no single location contains the entirety of your data.
Data Integrity: Each fragment is cryptographically hashed, meaning the content cannot be altered without affecting the hash, ensuring data integrity.
Decentralized Access: The data can be accessed from any node in the network using its unique hash, allowing for decentralized retrieval without reliance on a central server.
5.3 Data Privacy and Security on IPFS
Dlicom ensures that data stored on IPFS is encrypted to protect user privacy. This means that even though data is distributed across multiple nodes, it remains unreadable to unauthorized parties. Only users with the correct decryption keys can access the original content.
By using IPFS, Dlicom ensures that your data is stored securely and is resistant to censorship or tampering. The decentralized nature of IPFS also reduces the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access, as there is no centralized point of vulnerability.
However, it is important to note that the IPFS protocol is a public system, and while your data is encrypted, the hashes that point to your data are publicly accessible. This means that, although the content of your data is secure, its existence on the IPFS network is visible.
5.4 User Control Over Data on IPFS
Users retain full control over their data stored on IPFS. You have the ability to delete posts, media, and other content from the Dlicom platform at any time. When you choose to delete data, Dlicom will initiate the removal of the data's reference from the platform. However, due to the decentralized nature of IPFS, complete deletion of the data from all nodes in the network cannot be guaranteed.
While Dlicom will no longer reference your data on the platform after deletion, fragments of the data may continue to exist on IPFS nodes beyond Dlicom’s control, as IPFS is a decentralized protocol. This is a key consideration when using decentralized storage solutions.
5.5 Data Portability and Access
Dlicom’s use of IPFS allows for seamless data portability. Users can retrieve their data by accessing the unique hash that points to it on the IPFS network. This makes it easy to share and transfer data across different platforms that also utilize IPFS, without the need for central intermediaries.
You have the right to access your data stored on the platform at any time by using the provided hashes. This right aligns with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring that you have full transparency over what data is stored and how it can be accessed.
5.7 Data Retention
Dlicom does not impose a specific retention period for data stored on IPFS. Data remains available as long as it is actively referenced by the platform or retained by other nodes in the IPFS network. However, users are free to manage and delete their data as they see fit. Once data is deleted from the platform, the reference to the data is removed, but full deletion from the IPFS network may be beyond Dlicom’s control due to the decentralized architecture.
5.8 Risks and Considerations of Decentralized Storage
While IPFS provides numerous benefits, such as enhanced privacy, security, and resilience to censorship, it also introduces certain risks. The decentralized nature of IPFS means that Dlicom does not have complete control over the storage and distribution of your data once it is uploaded to the network.
Data Persistence: Data on IPFS may continue to exist on certain nodes even after it has been deleted from the Dlicom platform. This is an inherent characteristic of decentralized systems.
Public Access to Hashes: While your data remains encrypted, the existence of your data on the IPFS network is public through the associated hash. However, the content of your data remains inaccessible without the correct decryption key.
6. Communication Features (Messaging, Voice/Video Calls, Media Sharing)
6.1 Overview of Communication Features
Dlicom provides users with a suite of communication features that include encrypted messaging, voice calls, video calls, and media sharing (e.g., images, videos, files) within the decentralized social media platform. These features are designed to prioritize user privacy, security, and decentralization while ensuring seamless communication.
The communication features within Dlicom operate with end-to-end encryption, ensuring that only the intended recipients can view or access the content. Dlicom does not have access to the content of these communications, providing a secure environment for users to interact.
6.2 Agora.io Integration for Voice and Video Calls
For the facilitation of real-time voice and video calls, Dlicom integrates services provided by Agora.io, a third-party provider specializing in real-time engagement solutions. While the underlying communication infrastructure is powered by Agora.io, Dlicom ensures that user privacy is respected throughout the process.
Agora.io handles the technical transmission of voice and video data, but Dlicom implements end-to-end encryption on these communications. This ensures that neither Agora.io nor Dlicom has access to the content of your calls. Your video and voice communications remain private and secure from end to end.
6.3 Data Privacy and Encryption
Dlicom is dedicated to maintaining user privacy across all communication features, which include messaging, voice calls, video calls, and media sharing. The platform implements the following security measures:
Messaging: All text messages are encrypted from sender to receiver using end-to-end encryption. This ensures that no one, including Dlicom or any third-party providers, can access the content of your messages.
Voice and Video Calls: Similar to messaging, voice and video calls are protected by end-to-end encryption. This means that the content of your calls is inaccessible to any intermediary, including both Dlicom and Agora.io. Agora.io serves only as the facilitator for connection and transmission, without any access to the encrypted content.
Media Sharing: Any media shared through Dlicom’s messaging platform—such as images, videos, or files—is encrypted and stored in decentralized storage systems like IPFS. This ensures that your shared media remains secure and private.
6.4 User Control Over Communications
Dlicom provides users with full control over their communication data, including messages, voice and video call logs, and shared media. Users have the ability to delete chat histories, media files, and communication records at any time. Once deleted, these records are no longer accessible through the platform.
However, due to the nature of decentralized storage (e.g., IPFS), fragments of deleted media or messages may continue to exist on decentralized nodes beyond Dlicom’s direct control. Users should be aware of this limitation when utilizing decentralized storage solutions.
6.6 Third-Party Involvement and Data Sharing
Dlicom prioritizes user privacy and does not share the content of communications with third parties. The integration of Agora.io is limited to facilitating voice and video calls, and Dlicom ensures that Agora.io complies with strict privacy standards.
Although Agora.io manages the real-time data transmission for calls, all data is encrypted, ensuring that Agora.io cannot access the content of these communications. Furthermore, any data processed by Agora.io adheres to the terms and conditions of their privacy policy, which aligns with GDPR and other data protection regulations.
6.7 Data Retention and Deletion
Communication data—such as message histories, call logs, and media files—is retained on the Dlicom platform as long as necessary to provide the service. However, users have complete control over their communication data and can delete it at any time via the platform’s user interface.
Once a user deletes their communication data, Dlicom will remove references to this data from its systems. Nevertheless, as previously mentioned, due to the decentralized nature of certain storage systems (e.g., IPFS), complete deletion of data from all nodes may not be guaranteed.
6.8 Risks and Considerations for Users
While Dlicom utilizes advanced encryption protocols and decentralized storage to protect communication data, users should be aware of certain risks inherent in decentralized networks and third-party services:
Decentralized Storage Risks: Although data stored on IPFS is encrypted, the decentralized nature of IPFS means that data fragments may persist on the network even after deletion requests are made.
Third-Party Integration: Although Dlicom ensures that third-party services, such as Agora.io, meet stringent privacy and security standards, users should recognize that these services are involved in the transmission of voice and video data.

These features include in-app swapping, premium content subscriptions, and other decentralized financial tools, all aimed at seamlessly integrating social interaction with financial empowerment.
Through these features, users can earn rewards, engage in decentralized financial activities, and generate income while retaining control over their assets. All DeFi activities conducted on the Dlicom platform are non-custodial, meaning users maintain full ownership of their assets throughout the process.
7.2 In-App Swapping
Dlicom enables users to swap different cryptocurrencies directly within the app, providing an integrated decentralized exchange (DEX) experience. Users can swap tokens using various supported liquidity pools and decentralized protocols.
Non-Custodial Swapping: Similar to staking, the swapping functionality on Dlicom is non-custodial. Users execute swaps directly from their wallets, and the platform does not control the assets at any point in the process.
Aggregated Pricing: Dlicom utilizes decentralized aggregators to source the best prices across multiple decentralized exchanges, ensuring users receive competitive rates for their token swaps.
Transaction Fees: A small transaction fee may apply for each swap, typically paid in Dlicom tokens or another cryptocurrency. These fees contribute to the ecosystem and may also be utilized to reward liquidity providers.
7.3 DeFi Tools
In addition to staking and swapping, Dlicom integrates other DeFi tools that allow users to engage with decentralized finance directly through the platform. These tools include:
Liquidity Provision: Users can provide liquidity to decentralized pools in exchange for rewards. By contributing to liquidity pools, users help facilitate token swaps while earning a share of the transaction fees generated by the pool.
Yield Farming: Users can participate in yield farming by staking their tokens in high-yield DeFi protocols. Yield farming allows users to earn returns on their assets by providing liquidity or staking tokens in decentralized platforms.
Governance Participation: Holders of Dlicom tokens can participate in governance by voting on platform proposals. This gives users a voice in the future development of Dlicom, including changes to the platform’s features, staking pools, and other important decisions.
7.4 User Control and Transparency
Dlicom places a strong emphasis on user control over all financial activities on the platform. As a non-custodial platform, Dlicom does not hold or manage users' assets directly, ensuring that users retain full ownership and control of their tokens at all times.
Full Transparency: All staking, swapping, tipping, and other DeFi transactions are conducted on the blockchain, guaranteeing transparency and verifiability. Users can track their transactions and rewards in real-time, providing them with a clear understanding of their financial activities.
Decentralized Protocols: Dlicom integrates with decentralized protocols to ensure that users' assets are managed transparently, securely, and in a decentralized manner. These protocols operate autonomously on the blockchain, eliminating the need for intermediaries.
7.5 Risk Disclosure
While Dlicom offers various monetization and DeFi opportunities, users must understand the associated risks. All decentralized financial activities, including staking, swapping, and yield farming, carry inherent risks, including the potential loss of assets.
Market Volatility: Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, and the value of assets staked, swapped, or farmed may fluctuate significantly. Users should recognize that returns are not guaranteed, and there is a risk of losing the original value of their assets.
Smart Contract Risks: DeFi tools operate through smart contracts, which can be vulnerable to code flaws and potential exploits. While Dlicom strives to integrate reputable protocols, it cannot guarantee the security of third-party smart contracts.
Liquidity Risks: Providing liquidity or participating in yield farming can expose users to liquidity risks. Users may encounter difficulties when withdrawing their assets from liquidity pools or may experience slippage during swaps.
Users are encouraged to conduct their own research and assess their risk tolerance before engaging in any financial activities on the platform. Dlicom provides access to DeFi tools but does not offer financial advice or guarantees of returns.

9. Third-Party Services
9.1 Overview of Third-Party Services
Dlicom integrates with several third-party services and decentralized protocols to enhance the functionality of its platform. These services are essential to provide features such as real-time voice and video calls, token swapping, staking, data storage, and access to decentralized finance (DeFi) tools. While Dlicom aims to provide a seamless and integrated user experience, it is important to note that these third-party services operate independently and may have their own terms and conditions, privacy policies, and security practices.
By using Dlicom’s Services, you acknowledge and agree to the use of third-party services as part of the platform's functionality. Dlicom takes reasonable measures to ensure that these services are reliable and secure, but we do not control or guarantee the performance, availability, or security of these third-party services.
9.2 Examples of Third-Party Services
Some of the key third-party services and protocols integrated into the Dlicom platform include, but are not limited to:
Agora.io: Used for real-time voice and video calls on the Dlicom platform. Agora.io facilitates the transmission of audio and video data, while Dlicom implements end-to-end encryption to ensure the privacy and security of your communications. Agora.io operates independently, and its terms of service and privacy policy govern the handling of data within its system.
Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs): Used for token swapping within the Dlicom platform. These decentralized protocols facilitate the swapping of cryptocurrencies directly from your wallet, without the need for a central intermediary. Each DEX operates on its own set of rules and smart contracts, which may be subject to risks such as liquidity issues, smart contract bugs, or price slippage.
IPFS (InterPlanetary File System): Used for decentralized data storage. IPFS provides a distributed, peer-to-peer file storage system that ensures user data is not stored on centralized servers. However, because IPFS is a decentralized protocol, Dlicom does not control how or where data is stored on the network and cannot guarantee the complete deletion of data from all nodes when a deletion request is made.
Blockchain Networks: The Dlicom platform interacts with various blockchain networks (e.g., Ethereum) to facilitate transactions, staking, and other decentralized activities. These networks are maintained by third-party node operators and are subject to their own rules and limitations. Transaction delays, network congestion, and fluctuating fees (such as gas fees on Ethereum) are common occurrences and are outside of Dlicom’s control.
9.3 Third-Party Terms and Conditions
When using Dlicom’s Services, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions imposed by the third-party service providers. It is your responsibility to read and understand these terms before using any third-party services within the Dlicom platform. These terms may cover important aspects such as data usage, security protocols, transaction limits, and liability.
By continuing to use Dlicom, you acknowledge that third-party services are subject to their own contractual terms, and you agree to comply with those terms when applicable. Dlicom is not liable for any actions, errors, or omissions of these third-party services.
9.4 Data Privacy and Third-Party Services
While Dlicom strives to protect your data and maintain your privacy, interactions with third-party services may involve the processing of certain data that Dlicom does not control. For example, Agora.io processes voice and video call data, while decentralized exchanges process token swaps. Although Dlicom encrypts and secures the data within its control, third-party service providers may have access to certain non-encrypted data as part of their service delivery.
Dlicom works with reputable third-party providers who adhere to industry standards for data protection and privacy. However, Dlicom cannot guarantee the security or privacy practices of these independent third parties. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party service provider they interact with while using the platform.
10. Modifications to the Terms
10.1 Right to Modify
Dlicom reserves the right to update, revise, or modify these Terms and Conditions at any time in response to changes in legal requirements, technology, business practices, or other factors affecting the platform. Such modifications are made at our sole discretion and may occur without prior notice to you. However, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you of any significant changes by posting the updated Terms on the Dlicom platform or by notifying you via email or other communication methods, if available.

Any modifications to these Terms and Conditions will become effective immediately upon posting unless otherwise stated. The “Effective Date” at the top of the Terms will be updated to reflect the date on which the modifications were made.

11. Termination of Use
11.1 Right to Terminate
Dlicom reserves the right to suspend, limit, or terminate your access to the platform and its Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to the following:
Violation of Terms: If you breach or violate any provisions of these Terms and Conditions, Dlicom may immediately terminate your access to the platform without prior notice.
Illegal Activity: Any involvement in illegal activities, fraudulent behavior, or actions that violate applicable laws and regulations may result in the immediate termination of your use of the Dlicom platform.
Prohibited Conduct: Engaging in prohibited conduct, such as harassment, abuse, spamming, or sharing harmful content, will result in the termination of your account.
Security Concerns: If we detect or suspect any unauthorized or harmful activities associated with your account, such as attempts to compromise the security of the platform or other users, Dlicom may suspend or terminate your account to protect the platform and its users.
11.2 User-Initiated Termination
You have the right to terminate your use of the Dlicom platform and Services at any time. You may do so by:
Ceasing to Use the Platform: Discontinuing access to your account.
Requesting Deletion of Your Account: Requesting the deletion of your account and associated data, in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Upon your request, Dlicom will delete your account, including any content or data you have contributed, as long as it does not conflict with legal obligations or decentralized storage limitations.
11.3 Effect of Termination
Upon termination of your account, whether initiated by you or Dlicom:
Access Revoked: You will lose access to your account, including any content, data, or assets stored on the platform. If your account is terminated due to a violation of these Terms, Dlicom may also block your access to the platform in the future.
Deletion of Data: Dlicom will make reasonable efforts to delete your data from its systems, in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. However, due to the decentralized nature of some services (e.g., IPFS storage), it may not be possible to remove all data from decentralized nodes.
Outstanding Obligations: Any legal obligations, rights, or liabilities that arose prior to the termination will survive the termination of your account. This includes any outstanding financial obligations, such as fees or penalties, as well as legal liabilities for prior breaches of the Terms.
11.4 No Liability for Termination
Dlicom shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your account, suspension of your access to the platform, or deletion of your data. You acknowledge that termination is a standard remedy for violation of these Terms and that it may be exercised at Dlicom’s discretion to maintain the integrity and security of the platform.
11.5 Reinstatement of Account
If your account has been terminated due to a violation of these Terms, Dlicom may, at its sole discretion, consider requests for reinstatement. Such requests must be made in writing and include an explanation of the actions you have taken to remedy the situation. Reinstatement is not guaranteed and will be determined based on the severity of the violation and your prior conduct on the platform.
11.6 Dispute Resolution Post-Termination
If you believe your account was wrongfully terminated, you may contact Dlicom at [email protected] to request a review of the termination decision. Dlicom will investigate the matter and respond in a timely manner. However, Dlicom’s decision on termination is final and not subject to further appeal or negotiation.
12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
12.1 Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions, and any disputes arising from or relating to your use of the Dlicom platform and Services, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where ShlenPower Pte. Ltd. is registered, without regard to conflict of law principles. This applies to all matters related to your access to and use of the platform, including the enforcement of any rights or obligations under these Terms.
12.2 Agreement to Arbitrate
By using the Dlicom platform, you agree that any disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, your use of the Services, or your relationship with Dlicom shall be resolved through binding arbitration, rather than in court. Arbitration is a process where a neutral third party (the arbitrator) resolves the dispute instead of a judge or jury.
Arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration institution, and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitration will be confidential, and the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding. You understand and agree that by agreeing to arbitration, you are waiving your right to bring disputes before a court or to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
12.3 Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate, you and Dlicom retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim is within the jurisdictional limits of such courts. Additionally, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidential information.
12.4 Arbitration Procedure
If a dispute arises and the parties are unable to resolve it through informal negotiation, either party may initiate arbitration by submitting a written demand for arbitration to the arbitration institution specified in the Terms or agreed upon by both parties. The arbitration will be conducted in the location that is most convenient for both parties or remotely, if agreed upon. The costs of arbitration, including administrative fees and arbitrator compensation, will be shared equally by both parties unless otherwise specified by the arbitrator. However, each party will be responsible for its own attorneys' fees unless the arbitrator awards legal fees to the prevailing party.
12.5 Class Action Waiver
By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any disputes on an individual basis and waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration. This means that you may only bring claims against Dlicom in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
12.6 Jurisdiction and Venue
For any legal proceedings permitted under these Terms that are not subject to arbitration, the parties agree that the courts of the jurisdiction where ShlenPower Pte. Ltd. is registered shall have exclusive jurisdiction. You and Dlicom consent to the venue and personal jurisdiction of these courts and waive any objections based on inconvenience or the location of the courts.
12.7 Limitation on Claims
You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Dlicom platform or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or it will be permanently barred. This limitation applies to all types of claims, including those based on contract, tort, or other legal theories.
12.8 Good Faith Negotiation
Before initiating arbitration or any other legal proceedings, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute with Dlicom through good faith negotiation. You must notify Dlicom of the nature of the dispute and attempt to engage in informal discussions for at least thirty (30) days to seek a resolution. If the dispute is not resolved through these negotiations, either party may then proceed with arbitration or other legal remedies.
13. User Rights and Privacy
13.1 User Rights Overview
Dlicom is committed to protecting the privacy and rights of its users, particularly in the context of decentralized services. In compliance with data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for European users and other applicable privacy laws, Dlicom ensures that users have control over their personal data, even in a decentralized environment.
As a decentralized application (dApp), Dlicom minimizes the collection of personal data and offers users full control over their data within the platform. Users have the right to access, manage, and delete their data, as well as exercise other rights related to privacy and data protection.
13.2 Right to Access
You have the right to request access to the data Dlicom processes about you. Although Dlicom does not collect traditional personal data (such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers), you may request access to information related to your usage of the platform, such as:
Public wallet addresses associated with your account.
Transaction data generated by your interactions with the platform.
Data stored on decentralized systems (e.g., posts, media, communication logs) to the extent that it is accessible.
Dlicom will provide you with a copy of the data processed about you upon request, subject to any limitations imposed by the decentralized nature of certain data storage systems.
13.3 Right to Rectification
If you believe that any data associated with your use of the Dlicom platform is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request corrections or updates. While Dlicom does not control data stored on decentralized networks like IPFS, we will assist you in correcting any inaccuracies in the data we manage, such as transaction logs or other relevant records. Users can also edit or update their posts, comments, and other content shared on the platform directly through their account settings.
13.4 Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")
You have the right to request the deletion of your data from the Dlicom platform. Upon request, Dlicom will make reasonable efforts to delete your account, posts, communication logs, and other content stored on the platform. However, due to the decentralized nature of certain storage systems (e.g., IPFS), full deletion of data from all nodes may not always be possible. When a deletion request is submitted, Dlicom will remove references to the data on the platform, but users should be aware that fragments of data may still persist on decentralized nodes beyond Dlicom’s control.
13.5 Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that Dlicom restrict the processing of your data under certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to the processing of your data for specific purposes. While Dlicom’s platform is designed to minimize data processing, we will comply with requests to limit processing to the extent possible, particularly concerning interactions with third-party services.
13.6 Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. This right applies to data that you have provided to Dlicom, such as your posts, media, and communication records. You can export this data through the platform's tools or by submitting a request to [email protected]. For transaction data and decentralized finance (DeFi) activities, data is already publicly available on the blockchain and can be accessed via blockchain explorers.
13.7 Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time, particularly if the processing is based on Dlicom’s legitimate interests or involves direct marketing. If you object to data processing, Dlicom will stop processing your data unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for continuing, or if processing is necessary for legal claims.
13.8 Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
Dlicom does not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that would have legal or significant effects on users. The platform operates as a decentralized application, and no decisions about users are made solely by automated means.
13.9 Exercising Your Rights
If you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights, including accessing, correcting, or deleting your data, you can do so through the platform’s user interface or by contacting Dlicom’s support team at [email protected]. Dlicom will respond to your request in a timely manner and in compliance with applicable privacy laws.
13.10 User Privacy and Security
Dlicom takes your privacy seriously and implements robust security measures to protect your data. All communications and transactions on the platform are encrypted, and Dlicom does not have access to your private keys or the content of encrypted communications. However, as with any decentralized platform, there are inherent risks, and users are encouraged to take steps to secure their accounts, such as safeguarding private keys and using two-factor authentication where possible.
Dlicom does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Data is only shared with third-party services that are essential for platform functionality, such as Agora.io for voice and video calls. These third-party providers are required to comply with data protection laws and adhere to stringent privacy and security standards.
