1. OVERVIEW OF THE SERVICES; NOTICE REGARDING USE OF THE BLOCKCHAIN
Aspects of the Services enable you to interact with the Frequency chain, a layer 1 blockchain integrated into the
Polkadot platform, and/or other supported networks (together, the “Supported Networks”). Through such
interaction, you will be able to: (a) establish a message source account that allows you to set certain permissions
and access functions (the "MSA”); (b) store the digital representation of your online relationships in the form of a
social graph (the “Social Graph”); (c) establish a self-selected, human readable identifier used to identify the user's
MSA (“Handle”) and (d) interact with other applications, including such applications' services, content, features,
products, or other functionalities, that Amplica may, in our sole discretion, elect to support through integration
with our API, browser plugins, websites and/or mobile applications (together, the “Supported Apps”). The Social
Graph, Handle and other information on the Supported Networks are tied to your MSA.
As mentioned above, aspects of our Services may be hosted on or interact with the blockchain. Where you use
aspects of our Services that are hosted on or interact with the blockchain, information about your interactions
and/or transactions will be provided to the applicable blockchain network and may be accessible to third parties
due to the nature of the blockchain protocol.
