To the fullest extent permitted by law, BlockScout, Inc. will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, arising from or related to your use or inability to use the Services.

7.3 Nature of the Service — Probabilistic Screening, Not Forensic Certification:

BlockScout Law is a first-screening and knowledge-gathering tool. It is not a certified forensic accounting service, and its outputs are not certified forensic reports. The Service analyzes publicly available blockchain data — specifically incoming and outgoing transactions associated with a submitted wallet address — and applies statistical methods to identify connections that are likely to belong to the same individual. These connections are surfaced as probabilistic suggestions based on statistical transaction patterns, not as determinations of ownership or fact.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• All findings are probabilistic. Suggested wallet connections are based on statistical transaction patterns and do not constitute proof of wallet ownership or asset control.
• Reports are a starting point, not a conclusion. The Service is designed to identify leads for further legal investigation — including subpoenas to cryptocurrency exchanges and certified forensic analysis — not to replace those processes.
• Reports are not admissible as evidence on their own. Findings should be verified through formal legal discovery before being relied upon in legal proceedings.
• Reports should be used as part of a broader legal discovery process, not as the sole basis for legal decisions.
• You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence and verification of any information contained in reports.
• BlockScout, Inc. makes no representations or warranties regarding the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of any report or data provided through the Services.

Blockchain data is inherently subject to limitations including: the availability and accuracy of on-chain data at the time of analysis; the use of privacy-enhancing technologies that may obscure transaction details; potential gaps or inaccuracies in third-party attribution sources; and the evolving nature of blockchain networks and protocols. You agree to use reports at your own risk and to consult qualified legal and technical professionals as needed.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BlockScout, Inc., its affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Services or violation of these Terms.

9. Privacy

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and share your personal information. By using our Services, you consent to the collection and use of your information as outlined in the Privacy Policy.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved in the courts located in Delaware.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms on our website or by other means. Your continued use of the Services after any changes signifies your acceptance of the new Terms.
