Summary

This summary is intended to provide a simple and concise presentation of the content of these T&Cs. It has no contractual value and does not form part of the T&Cs. To use our services, you must read the T&Cs below and accept them in full. In the event of any contradiction between this summary and the T&Cs, the latter shall prevail.

What's OnlyDust?

OnlyDust is a platform operated by Wagmi SAS to support the growth of open-source ecosystems by connecting developers and projects, and allocating financial support through discretionary grants.

How to access OnlyDust?

To use our platform, you must be of legal age (16 years +), not be a sanctioned person, and, of course, accept and observe the T&Cs in full.

What are your responsibilities?

You can use the platform as a project leader or as a contributor.

If you are a contributor, you will provide contributions from among those proposed on the platform by the projects. You undertake to execute these contributions with the highest level of diligence, in accordance with the specifications set out by the project.

If you are a Project Leader, the project must be open-source and useful for the community. You will be responsible for the project, and as such, you will have to define the nature of the contributions required, assess their quality, and merge the PR if necessary.

In both cases, you must: (i) properly use our platform and refrain from all fraudulent activity; (ii) give us valid information about your status, including whether you act for a company or not; (iii) comply with the laws and regulations in force in the country in which you are located.

What support can you get?

If you're an active Contributor, you may be eligible for a Fellowship Grant, based on the OnlyDust Fellowship Program.

If you're maintaining a promising project, it may be selected for a Project Grant, attributed at the sole discretion of Wagmi SAS or its partners. Grants are not entitlements and are attributed without obligation or guarantee.

Grants are not related to any specific task, bounty or deliverable and are not guaranteed.

What are Our responsibilities?

We undertake to provide you with our platform and ensure its proper operation. We do not employ Contributors, and we do not guarantee funding for any user or project and we are not responsible if the foundations decide not to give us funds anymore.

3.1 Acceptance

In order to be able to use the Services, Users agree to fully and unconditionally accept these T&Cs by ticking the relevant case on the Platform. The T&Cs are accessible at any time on the Platform and Users should read these T&Cs carefully before accepting them.

3.2 Amendment

In order to improve their features and quality, Wagmi may regularly modify the Platform and the Services. In particular, Wagmi may add, remove or replace certain functions at any time.

Therefore, Wagmi may modify the T&Cs from time to time. Users will be informed of changes fifteen (15) days before the new version comes into force. During this period, Users may terminate the T&Cs by any means provided that they complete any commitment to which they have already agreed.

4. Access to the Platform

The Services are accessible:

  • to any natural person over the age of 16 and who has the legal capacity to enter into commitments under these T&Cs. A natural person who does not have legal capacity may only access the Platform and the Services with the consent of his/her legal representative;

Any natural person who accepts the T&Cs in the name and on behalf of a legal entity acknowledges that he/she is authorized to do so. The legal entity may in no case be released from its obligations on the grounds that the natural person did not have the authority to commit himself/herself.

Users must provide all information required by Wagmi to use the Services. Any incomplete registration will not be validated.

Grant recipients may be selected by Wagmi internally or via independent committees of experts. Wagmi remains the sole operator of the Platform and no employment or service relationship is created between Wagmi and the Users.
