Terms & Conditions

Last updated: February 2026

1. About SolEZGate

SolEZGate is a content gating tool that allows creators to set a SOL price for access to their content. SolEZGate facilitates the creation of gated links and verifies on-chain payments. SolEZGate is not a payment gateway, payment processor, or financial intermediary. All payments occur directly between buyers and creators on the Solana blockchain as peer-to-peer transactions.

2. How Payments Work

When a buyer unlocks a gate, SOL is transferred directly from the buyer's wallet to the creator's wallet via a standard Solana transaction. SolEZGate never holds, custodies, or controls any funds at any point. A platform fee (currently 2.5% + 0.005 SOL) is included as a separate transfer within the same transaction, but all transfers are executed by the buyer's wallet and settled on-chain instantly.

3. Creator Responsibilities & Content Disclaimer

Creators who use SolEZGate are solely and exclusively responsible for:

  • All content they gate, distribute, and deliver through the platform
  • Ensuring their content complies with all applicable laws and regulations
  • Holding all necessary rights, licences, and permissions to distribute the content
  • All tax obligations arising from income received via SOL payments
  • The accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of content descriptions and pricing
  • Compliance with intellectual property, copyright, and data protection laws
  • Delivering promised content to buyers after payment is received

IMPORTANT: SolEZGate is a TECHNICAL TOOL ONLY.

SolEZGate does not pre-screen, review, approve, endorse, verify, supervise, or take any responsibility for content created or distributed by creators. SolEZGate is not a publisher, distributor, or co-author of creator content. The presence of content on SolEZGate does not constitute SolEZGate's endorsement or guarantee of that content in any way. Content is hosted externally and is not stored in plaintext by SolEZGate. SolEZGate has no editorial control over such content.

4. Buyer Acknowledgment & Risk

By making a payment to unlock a gate, buyers fully acknowledge and accept that:

  • The payment is a direct, irreversible on-chain Solana transaction — it cannot be cancelled, reversed, or refunded under any circumstances
  • SolEZGate does not process, hold, manage, or escrow buyer funds
  • Buyers are solely responsible for performing their own due diligence before purchasing
  • Content quality, delivery, and accuracy is the sole responsibility of the creator — NOT SolEZGate
  • SolEZGate cannot issue refunds as it never receives or holds buyer funds (except the platform fee)
  • SolEZGate is not liable for content that does not match its description, fails to deliver, or is otherwise unsatisfactory
  • Disputes regarding content must be resolved directly between the buyer and the creator
  • All purchases are made at the buyer's own risk

5. Encrypted File Storage

When creators upload files through SolEZGate, files are encrypted client-side using AES-256-GCM encryption before being stored on encrypted decentralized storage. Encryption keys are envelope-encrypted (wrapped with a master key) before storage, providing an additional layer of security. SolEZGate facilitates access for verified buyers by providing decryption capabilities. Creators may request deletion of their content, which is effectuated by destroying the encryption key, rendering the encrypted file permanently inaccessible. The encrypted (unreadable) data may persist in storage, but without the encryption key it cannot be decrypted or accessed.

6. Content Protection Limitations

SolEZGate offers optional content protection features designed as deterrents against casual sharing, not as absolute copy protection:

  • PDF Buyer Watermark: Embeds the buyer's wallet address as a visible watermark and in file metadata. This serves as a tracing tool to identify the source of leaked content. It does not prevent screenshots, re-typing, or other forms of content extraction. Watermarks may be removed by technically sophisticated users.
  • YouTube Protected Player: Hides the raw YouTube URL from the buyer to prevent casual link sharing. The video ID may still be extractable by users with browser developer tools or technical knowledge. This feature reduces casual sharing but does not constitute DRM (Digital Rights Management).

SolEZGate does not guarantee that gated content cannot be copied, shared, or redistributed. These features are best-effort deterrents, not security guarantees.

If preventing unauthorized redistribution of your content is critical to your business, SolEZGate may not be the right solution for you. Please consider dedicated DRM platforms or enterprise content protection services that offer stronger guarantees.

7. No Warranties

SolEZGate is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, content availability, or the behavior of the Solana blockchain. Users acknowledge the inherent risks of blockchain transactions, including but not limited to network congestion, failed transactions, and price volatility of SOL.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

SolEZGate, its operators, and affiliates shall NOT be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages of any kind, including but not limited to:

  • Loss of funds due to blockchain transactions, wallet compromise, or network failure
  • Content disputes between creators and buyers
  • Inaccurate, misleading, false, or incomplete content descriptions
  • Non-delivery or poor quality of creator content
  • Unauthorized content redistribution or piracy
  • Service interruptions, downtime, or data loss
  • Any losses arising from reliance on creator-provided content
  • Any third-party claims arising from creator content

SolEZGate is not responsible for the actions, conduct, content, or representations of any creator or buyer on the platform. SolEZGate's total liability to any party shall not exceed the platform fees collected from that party's transactions in the 30-day period immediately preceding the claim.

9. Prohibited Content & Activities

Creators may not use SolEZGate to gate or distribute content that:

  • Is illegal in any applicable jurisdiction
  • Involves child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or exploitation of minors
  • Promotes violence, terrorism, hate speech, or discrimination
  • Infringes on intellectual property, copyright, or trademark rights of others
  • Contains malware, viruses, ransomware, or other harmful software
  • Constitutes fraud, deception, or false advertising
  • Impersonates any person, entity, or brand

Users may not use SolEZGate for:

  • Money laundering or processing proceeds of illegal activities
  • Sanctions evasion or transactions involving OFAC-sanctioned entities
  • Structuring transactions to avoid compliance thresholds
  • Any activity that violates applicable anti-money laundering (AML) regulations

Violation of these terms may result in immediate and permanent removal of content and blocking of associated wallet addresses without prior notice or refund of any fees paid.

10. Content Moderation & Abuse Reporting

SolEZGate takes reports of prohibited content seriously. Users who encounter content that appears to violate these Terms may report it using the Report function available on each gate page.

SolEZGate's moderation process:

  • Reports are reviewed by the SolEZGate team on a best-efforts basis
  • Upon substantiated violation, SolEZGate may deactivate the gate and/or block the creator's wallet address
  • SolEZGate does not guarantee a specific review timeline or outcome
  • SolEZGate is under no obligation to monitor, review, or take action on content in the absence of a report

SolEZGate is not liable for any harm caused by content before a report is reviewed and actioned. The existence of a reporting mechanism does not create any duty of care or obligation on SolEZGate to proactively monitor content. False or malicious reports may result in action against the reporting party.

11. Compliance & Sanctions Screening

SolEZGate screens wallet addresses against the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. Wallet addresses identified on sanctions lists will be blocked from creating gates or making payments on this platform.

All transactions are subject to compliance limits. Individual transactions are capped to ensure the platform is used for its intended purpose of digital content distribution. SolEZGate reserves the right to adjust these limits at any time.

By using SolEZGate, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or a resident of any country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not a person or entity on the OFAC SDN list or any other applicable sanctions list.

12. On-Chain Transparency

Each payment transaction includes an on-chain memo recording the gate identifier and the version of these Terms accepted at the time of purchase (e.g., "TOS:v1"). This provides an immutable, verifiable record that both buyer and creator agreed to the applicable terms at the time of the transaction.

13. Regulatory Disclaimer

SolEZGate may be subject to varying regulations across different jurisdictions. Users are solely responsible for determining whether their use of SolEZGate complies with all applicable laws and regulations in their jurisdiction, including but not limited to securities regulations, money transmission laws, data protection requirements, and tax obligations.

14. Platform Fee

SolEZGate charges a platform fee of 2.5% + 0.005 SOL per transaction, deducted from the creator's share and collected as a separate transfer within the buyer's payment transaction. The fee is capped at 50% of the gate price to protect low-price gates. A separate creation fee is charged per gate: 0.02 SOL for link-based gates, or 0.05 SOL for file uploads (0.02 base + 0.03 for permanent encrypted storage). All fees are subject to change with notice.

15. Changes to Terms

SolEZGate may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Material changes will be communicated through the platform.
