Effective date: 20 September 2026 · Version 1.0
1. Definitions
In these Terms of Use ("Terms"): "FOMO Academy", "we", "us" or "our" means the operator of the website at the-fomo.academy; "Service" means that website and all content, pages, guides and features made available through it; "Content" means all text, graphics, images, code and other material published on the Service; and "User", "you" or "your" means any person who accesses or uses the Service.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use the Service. If you use it on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these Terms for it.
3. Description of Service
FOMO Academy is a free educational website providing general, plain-language information about blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and related concepts. The Service is informational only: it does not offer accounts, wallets, trading, custody, brokerage or any financial product or service, and it does not process transactions in digital assets.
4. Educational purpose only — not financial advice
All Content is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes financial, investment, trading, legal, tax or accounting advice, nor a personal recommendation, offer, solicitation or inducement to buy, sell or hold any cryptocurrency, token, security or other asset, or to use any exchange, wallet, protocol or service.
We are not a broker, dealer, exchange, investment adviser, financial planner or fiduciary, and no Content should be interpreted as such. You should not treat any Content as a substitute for advice from a qualified, licensed professional who knows your personal circumstances.
5. Financial and market risk disclosure
Cryptocurrencies and other digital assets are high-risk, highly volatile and speculative. You should be aware that:
- The value of digital assets can be extremely volatile and may fall as well as rise. You may lose some, all, or more than the amount you put in.
- Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Projections and historical data are never guarantees.
- Digital-asset markets can be illiquid, may be manipulated, and can move sharply at any hour, including outside traditional market hours.
- Transactions on public blockchains are generally irreversible; mistakes, scams and losses usually cannot be undone or refunded.
- Loss of your private keys or seed phrase means permanent, unrecoverable loss of your assets.
- Digital assets are, in many jurisdictions, not legal tender and may not be covered by deposit-protection or investor-compensation schemes.
- The regulatory, legal and tax treatment of digital assets is uncertain and may change, potentially to your disadvantage.
- Smart contracts and protocols may contain bugs or vulnerabilities that lead to loss of funds.
You are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks of any decision you make, for conducting your own research ("DYOR"), for your own security and key management, and for complying with the laws and tax rules that apply to you. Never invest or transact with money you cannot afford to lose.
6. No reliance
You acknowledge that any reliance you place on any Content is strictly at your own risk. We make no representation or warranty that any information is accurate, complete, current or suitable for your circumstances. Digital-asset information dates quickly.
7. User Conduct & Prohibited Uses
You agree not to misuse the Service, including by attempting to disrupt or interfere with it, accessing it unlawfully or without authorisation, scraping or harvesting it at scale, introducing malware, infringing others' rights, or using it for any unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purpose.
8. Third-Party Links & Tools
The Service may link to third-party websites, aggregators, explorers, documentation and tools, which are run by other organisations. These are provided for convenience and education only. We do not control or assume responsibility for any third-party content, products or services. Verify URLs independently — fraudulent copies of popular crypto sites are common.
9. Intellectual Property
Unless stated otherwise, the Content, design and code of the Service are owned by FOMO Academy and protected by applicable law. You may read and share links to our Content for personal, non-commercial use, but may not copy, republish or exploit it without permission.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR CURRENT.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FOMO ACADEMY AND ITS OPERATORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, FUNDS, DATA, DIGITAL ASSETS OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE OR YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY CONTENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BECAUSE WE PROVIDE FREE EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION ONLY, WE ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR ANY FINANCIAL LOSS YOU MAY INCUR IN THE DIGITAL-ASSET MARKETS.
12. Termination
We may suspend, restrict or terminate your access to the Service at any time, without notice, if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time. Because we do not require accounts, ending your use simply means you stop visiting; any limited data we hold is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability and Governing Law — will continue to apply.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above.
14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under mandatory consumer-protection laws that apply to you.
