1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Helixbox (the "App"), provided by Helixbox Labs Ltd (including all affiliates, referred to as "Helixbox," "Helix.box," "Helixbox Labs," "Helixbox Bridge," "we," "us" or "our"). In these Terms, “user,” “you,” and “your” refer to you as the user of the App. If you access the Service on behalf of a company or other entity, “you” also includes that entity. You represent and warrant that (a) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind it to these Terms, and (b) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf.

This Terms of Service Agreement (the "Agreement") details the terms and conditions governing your access to and use of the App. Please read the Agreement carefully. By accessing the App, you accept and agree to comply with the Agreement. The Terms include a mandatory arbitration provision that requires disputes to be resolved individually rather than through class actions or jury trials.

You also represent and warrant your compliance with all applicable laws (e.g., local, state, federal, and other laws) in connection with your use of the Service. To meet our legal obligations and ensure user safety, we may need to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Service. You acknowledge that Helixbox is not obligated to disclose the specifics of such decisions.

Helixbox reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. If we make significant changes, we will notify you through the Service or by updating the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of the Terms. Continuing to access or use the Service after such changes confirms your acceptance of the revised Terms as of the update date. We encourage you to review these Terms regularly to stay informed about any amendments.
