Terms of Use

downbad is an independent hobby project, built and run by an individual — not a company, exchange, broker, or custodian. It provides a web interface for interacting with open smart contracts on the Algorand blockchain: listing and buying NFTs, making offers, peer-to-peer lending, deals, swaps, and shuffles.

Every trade, listing, loan, and swap is peer-to-peer between users, settled by on-chain smart contracts. Some of those contracts are shared across multiple marketplaces and are not exclusive to this site. downbad never takes custody of your assets and is never a counterparty to your transactions.

The site and the smart contracts it interacts with are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind — express or implied — including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability.

In particular, you accept that:

• Blockchain transactions are irreversible. If you send assets to the wrong address, sign the wrong transaction, or fall for a scam, nobody can undo it.
• Smart contracts can have bugs. Contracts are used as deployed on-chain. Despite care and review, no code is guaranteed to be free of defects or exploits.
• NFTs and tokens are volatile. They can lose some or all of their value. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.
• Third parties are outside our control. Wallets, blockchain nodes, IPFS gateways, price feeds, and other marketplaces sharing the same contracts may fail or behave unexpectedly.
• Anyone can mint anything. Verify collections and assets before you trade. Fake or imitation assets exist; the docs explain how to spot them for each feature.

• You are solely responsible for your wallet, your keys, and every transaction you sign. Review every transaction before signing it.
• You are responsible for complying with the laws of your jurisdiction, including any tax obligations arising from your trades.
• You must be legally able to use services like this where you live. Don't use the site for anything unlawful, including trading assets you don't have the right to trade.

Where the platform charges a fee (for example on sales or token swaps), it is shown before you sign the transaction. Algorand network transaction fees always apply and go to the network, not to downbad. Creator royalties, where set, go to the creator.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, downbad and its operator accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or the smart contracts it interfaces with — including lost assets, lost profits, contract exploits, user error, scams, downtime, or data inaccuracies. Your only remedy if you disagree with these terms or are unhappy with the site is to stop using it.

As a hobby project, the site may change, break, or shut down at any time without notice. Because the contracts are on-chain and shared, your listings and positions generally remain accessible through the blockchain and other interfaces even if this site goes away.

These terms may be updated from time to time; the “last updated” date above will change when they do. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

The best place to reach us is the downbad Discord. See also the privacy policy and the docs for how each feature works.
