Terms of Service

By accessing turbomindz.com, the TURBOMINDZ mobile applications, or joining the TURBOMINDZ Discord, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

TURBOMINDZ is a phygital philosophical art project operated by Hugo Gaona (“TURBOMINDZ,” “we,” “us”). For privacy practices see /privacy.

The TURBOMINDZ service includes:

• The turbomindz.com web experience (browse, learn, optionally subscribe).
• The TURBOMINDZ iOS and Android apps (browse + community access), planned for a later release.
• The weekly Field Journal letter (if you subscribe).
• The Discord village (if you join).
• Two NFT collections on Polygon — Inception (1,150 scenes) and Off the Map (737 scenes), 1,887 in total. NFTs are sold on OpenSea. Purchases happen on OpenSea or the web (turbomindz.com), not within the mobile apps.
• The optional marriage system (a later release) — pairing your art to a TURBOMINDZ NFT.

We do not offer investment advice. NFTs from TURBOMINDZ are digital art collectibles tied to philosophical content. Their value may go up, down, or to zero. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. You alone are responsible for understanding the risks of buying, holding, and trading digital assets.

By minting or buying a TURBOMINDZ NFT you receive: ownership of the tokenized art, an automatic Founding Witness role in the Discord village, and — when the marriage system opens in a later release — marriage eligibility as described in our public lore. You do not receive any equity, security, profit-sharing, or fiduciary claim on the project, its operators, or any future revenue.

TURBOMINDZ uses thirdweb’s wallet connection (with optional embedded wallets via email/Google sign-in). We never see, store, or have access to your private keys. You are solely responsible for your wallet’s security, backup, and recovery. We cannot recover lost wallets, reverse transactions, or refund mistakes you make on-chain.

You agree NOT to:

• Use the service for illegal activity.
• Attempt to exploit smart contracts beyond their intended use.
• Spam, harass, or abuse other community members in Discord or comments.
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or repurpose our content for derivative commercial works without permission.
• Misrepresent your wallet ownership (e.g., faking a Founding Witness badge).
• Use TURBOMINDZ to facilitate money laundering, sanctions evasion, or other financial crimes.

We may suspend or remove access (Discord ban, wallet block at the app layer) for violations. On-chain ownership cannot be revoked — those are permanent regardless of community standing.

All TURBOMINDZ-original art, lore, character designs, the four travelers (Cosmo, Nova, Stella, Luna), the village concept, and written essays are © TURBOMINDZ / Hugo Gaona. All rights reserved.

NFT holders receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to display the specific artwork they own. This includes: posting to your social media, printing for personal display, using as your profile picture. It does not include: selling merchandise featuring the art, using the art in derivative commercial works without our written permission, or claiming the underlying IP.

Quotes from public-domain philosophers are used under fair use / public-domain rules. Quotes from living authors are used under fair use within a transformative artistic context.

The marriage system is not yet open— it launches in a later release. When it does, it will be an optional ceremony pairing the holder’s personal artwork (photo, story, attribution) to a TURBOMINDZ NFT — recorded on-chain, publicly viewable, and dissolvable by the holder. Any fee and the full process will be finalised in these Terms before the system opens.

By submitting an artwork for marriage, you affirm you own the rights to share it publicly. We may reject submissions that violate community standards (illegal, abusive, infringing).

Per Apple App Store policy and Google Play policy, the TURBOMINDZ mobile apps offer browse / view / community features only. NFT minting and purchase happen on the web (turbomindz.com) — the apps may link to the web for any transaction. This is a platform requirement, not our preference. The web app remains the canonical experience.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. We make no guarantees about uptime, NFT value, smart-contract behavior under all conditions, or third-party services we depend on (Polygon network, IPFS, OpenSea, Stripe, Buttondown, Supabase, Vercel, Pinata, thirdweb).

We are not responsible for: blockchain network issues, lost wallets, smart contract exploits we did not cause, third-party marketplace policies (OpenSea takedowns, etc.), or app store removal.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TURBOMINDZ’s total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months prior to the claim — or $100 if you paid nothing.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or lost opportunities.

We may update these Terms. The “Last updated” date above changes when we do. Material changes are announced via email subscribers and Discord. Continued use after a change means you accept the new Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Hugo Gaona is domiciled. Any dispute will be resolved via binding arbitration except where prohibited. You waive class action rights to the extent permitted by law.
