As necessary your information; (c) to immediately notify us if you discover or otherwise suspect any security breaches related to the Services; and (d) that you are fully responsible for all activity on the Services that occurs under your email and password combination.

To create a user account (“User Account”) with GALXE, you need to connect your digital wallet to the Services. Once you create a User Account, you will then need to verify your identity by providing certain information and uploading a picture of themselves and a picture of their passport, driver’s license, national insurance card, or other government-issued identification (collectively, “Identity Documents”). Once your identity has been verified, you will be able to mint the GALXE Passport NFT. Account Communication.

These communications may include notices about your use of the Services (e.g., email changes and/or other transactional information) and are part of your relationship with us. Account Verification and Additional Information.

  • Your use of the Services is related to money laundering or any other illegal or illicit activity;
  • You have concealed or reported false identification information and/or other details; or
  • Transactions effected via your User Account were effected in breach of these Terms.
In such cases, GALXE, in its sole discretion, may pause or cancel your access to any or all Services until such additional information and/or documents are reviewed by us and accepted as satisfying the requirements of applicable law.

  1. GALXE Passport NFT
As part of the Services, you are able to create a verified identity token (“GALXE Passport NFT”). You may be required to provide us additional information to create your Token, required to confirm your identity. We work with a third party service provider, Sumsub, to verify your identity. You will upload your information, including identity verification information, to Sumsub, who will then conduct the identity verification. Once your identity is verified, Sumsub will send to us a copy of the information you provided to verify your identity. We will pack the identity information into a verifiable credential, send it to you, and ask you to encrypt it with your password. After you send us the encrypted data, we will keep it safely stored on our servers, and delete all information we collected during the process. At this point, only you can use your password to decrypt and access your identity information.

  1. Dispute Resolution
This Section includes an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read it carefully. Informal Process. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and GALXE, you will first contact GALXE in a writing that specifically references this section and which describes the dispute and your position in relation to it in sufficient details for the receiving company to engage in meaningful discussions about the dispute (“Dispute Notice”). For a period of no less than thirty days after receipt of the Dispute Notice, or such longer period as the parties may agree in writing, You shall make a good faith and sustained effort for a to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution. Agreement to Arbitrate. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or GALXE’s services and/or products, including but not limited to the Services, or relating in any way to the communications between you and GALXE or any other user of the Services, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination (collectively, “Dispute”), shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration before a sole arbitrator in an 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. You and GALXE shall endeavor to agree upon the arbitrator, and if you and GALXE fail to do so within twenty-one (21) days of the commencement of the Arbitration, the appointment shall be made by SIAC in accordance with the SIAC Rules. This mandatory arbitration agreement applies to you and to GALXE. However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Dispute initiated by GALXE for infringement of its intellectual property, or (b) bar you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. The seat, or legal place of arbitration, shall be [Singapore], and the language of the arbitration shall be English. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms. If you wish to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: Support@galxe.com Arbitration Procedure and Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the SIAC under the SIAC Rulesby a sole arbitrator. You can access the SIAC Rules at https://siac.org.sg/our-rules. Each party shall bear its own filing and administrative fees in the first instance. GALXE will reimburse those fees for claims where the amount in dispute is less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, and we will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section below. Class Action Waiver. Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case or to be a party to a class or representative action is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration. Waiver of Jury Trial. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and GALXE each waive any right to a jury trial.
