BlueChip Services

BlueChip utilizes an Application Programming Interface (“API”) through Robinhood to buy and sell Bitcoin based off of market fluctuations. Due to the nature of this service, BlueChip is not recognized as either a broker or a dealer since it does not engage in the transacting of securities. Additionally, BlueChip does not provide any investment advice or hold assets of any Users.

Users acknowledge that the Services mentioned herein will be performed upon the placement of an order and will not deny the performance unless they reasonably believe and can provide evidence that BlueChip did not transact on their behalf.

Any and all visitors to the Website, despite whether they are registered or not, shall be deemed “Users” of the BlueChip Services, as described in this Agreement. Once an individual registers for the Services, through the process of creating an account, the User shall then be considered a “Member.” All Members are also Users.

The User and/or Member acknowledges and agrees that the Services provided and made available on and through the Website are the sole property of BlueChip. 

At our sole and exclusive discretion, we may offer additional Services and/or products, or we may update, modify, or revise any current content and Services. If we do so, this Agreement shall apply to any and all additional Services and/or products and any and all updated, modified, or revised Services unless otherwise stipulated. We hereby reserve the right to cancel and cease offering any of the aforementioned Services and/or products at our discretion. You, as the end User and/or Member, acknowledge, accept, and agree that we shall not be held liable for any such updates, modifications, revisions, suspensions, price changes, or discontinuance of any of our Services and/or products. Your continued use of the Services provided, after such posting of any updates, changes, and/or modifications, shall constitute your acceptance of such updates, changes, and/or modifications, and as such, frequent review of this Agreement and any and all applicable terms and policies should be made by you to ensure you are aware of all terms and policies currently in effect. Should you not agree to the updated, revised, or modified terms, you must stop using the provided Services immediately.

Arbitration

In case of a dispute between the Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute personally and in good faith.

The arbitration shall be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator and such arbitrator shall have no authority to add Parties, vary the provisions of this Agreement, award punitive damages, or certify a class.

Claims necessitating arbitration under this section include, but are not limited to: Contract claims, tort claims, claims based on federal and state law, and claims based on local laws, ordinances, statutes, or regulations.

You hereby waive the right to any objection of venue, including assertion of the doctrine of forum non conveniens or similar doctrine.

 

Waiver and Severability of Terms

In the event that we fail to enforce any provision of this Agreement, this shall not constitute a waiver of any future enforcement of that provision or of any other provision. Waiver of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of law or competent arbitrator, the remaining provisions will be enforced to the maximum extent possible. In such condition, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force.

 

No Right of Survivorship and Non-Transferability
