As a user, you are fully responsible for the content you post here, and you shall not post any content that would be considered illegal or unacceptable for public markets. By proceeding, you agree to waive any responsibility and hold harmless other users who post data to IPFS and run artificial intelligence filtering services when your order is posted. Please also consider that no filter is perfect, and users may not be aware of the content being posted to AI services or IPFS. You are welcome to use your own API keys for moderation and IPFS services; however, self-filtering through artificial intelligence is still required. Furthermore, while the BitBay website itself collects no data from users, any data you post to the blockchain is publicly visible. Any service or node running artificial intelligence will inevitably be subject to the privacy policy of the individual company involved, and no guarantees can be made, as these are separate third-party services. You acknowledge that BitBay is not a company, but a community-driven platform, and that the code is open-source and beyond the control of any single individual or developer. The developers who contribute to this platform do so in their free time, aiming to provide the world access to fraud-resistant contracts without intermediaries. It is important to note that developers do not directly profit from affiliate fees and that each user chooses who their affiliate is. Therefore, individuals who volunteer to run nodes, active users, and marketing affiliates earn from affiliate fees, and this is solely at the consent and discretion of each individual user. Therefore, no implication should be made that any specific individual profits from the platform’s use. The affiliate fee structure is designed solely to encourage and incentivize engagement from users themselves. The developers have coded the platform to the best of their ability and in good faith. However, the original developers are not responsible for any errors, misuse, or maintenance of the platform. Users are encouraged to audit the code themselves. Users who engage in contracts do so with full awareness of both the benefits and risks involved in peer-to-peer contracting. Do you understand and wish to proceed?": true,
