Terms and Conditions

1. Eligibility and capacity

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction to use the Service. By using the Service you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that your use of the Service does not violate any law applicable to you.

Cryptocurrency mining is regulated, restricted, or prohibited in some jurisdictions. You are solely responsible for confirming that your activities are lawful where you reside and where you operate hardware. We make no representation that the Service or the activities it describes are appropriate or available in any particular location.

2. What the Service is (and isn't)

The Service is an informational and analytical platform for cryptocurrency mining. It provides a profitability calculator, ASIC miner comparison tools, vendor listings, educational guides, and state-level reference content. The Service does not sell mining hardware, custody funds, execute trades, host pools, or operate any mining infrastructure. We are not a broker, dealer, exchange, investment adviser, financial adviser, accountant, attorney, or fiduciary, and nothing on the Service constitutes such services.

All outputs of the calculator and comparison tools are estimates derived from third-party data feeds, user inputs, and modeling assumptions. Results depend on inputs such as electricity price, hardware specifications, network difficulty, hashrate, coin price, pool fees, hardware degradation, and many other variables outside our control. Actual results will differ — sometimes materially — from any estimate displayed.

3. No financial, investment, tax, or legal advice

Content on the Service is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on the Service is, or should be construed as, financial, investment, trading, tax, accounting, or legal advice, an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security or financial instrument, or a recommendation regarding any cryptocurrency, mining venture, hardware purchase, hosting arrangement, or other transaction.

Mining cryptocurrencies and purchasing mining hardware involves significant risk, including the risk of losing the entire amount invested. Prices, network conditions, energy costs, and regulations can change rapidly and unpredictably. You should consult qualified professionals before making any decision based on information from the Service.

4. Affiliate disclosure and conflicts of interest

In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and similar consumer-protection rules in other jurisdictions, we disclose the following material connections:

• Affiliate links. Some outbound links to vendors are affiliate or referral links. If you click such a link and complete a qualifying action with the vendor (for example, a purchase or an inquiry that results in a sale), we may receive a commission, referral fee, revenue share, or other compensation, at no additional cost to you. The presence of an affiliate link does not change the price you pay.
• Sponsored or paid placements. Where any listing, ranking, badge, or piece of content has been paid for, sponsored, or otherwise compensated, we will identify it as such on the page where it appears. Unmarked listings are not paid placements.
• Operator-affiliated vendors. The operator of the Service may have an ownership or commercial interest in one or more vendors that appear in the directory. Where this is the case, the affected listing is shown under the same neutral attributes and transparency flags applied to every other listing, and we make no claim that an operator-affiliated vendor is the best, cheapest, or most trustworthy choice for any user. You should independently verify any vendor before transacting.
• Advertising. The Service may, now or in the future, display third-party advertisements served by an ad network. Where shown, advertisements will be clearly delineated as advertising and are not editorial endorsements.

We do not warrant any product, vendor, mining pool, hosting provider, exchange, or other third party referenced or linked on the Service. Editorial content reflects our good-faith opinions at the time of publication and may not reflect every relevant factor for your circumstances.

5. Vendor listings, ratings, and transparency flags

The vendor directory aggregates publicly available information, vendor-submitted information, third-party feedback, and our own research. Attributes such as escrow support, manufacturer authorizations, jurisdiction, and product availability may change without notice. Transparency flags reflect signals we observed at the time of review and are not certifications, guarantees, audits, or warranties of any kind.

For ASIC and other high-value hardware purchases we generally recommend using an independent escrow service (for example, Escrow.com) for transactions over USD 1,000. Using an escrow service is your decision; we are not a party to your transaction and receive no fee for an escrow recommendation.

Inclusion of a vendor in the directory is not an endorsement, and exclusion is not a statement that a vendor is untrustworthy. We may add, modify, suspend, or remove any listing at any time, with or without notice, including for accuracy, legal, safety, or quality reasons.

6. Vendor applications, claims, and other submissions

If you submit a vendor application, a vendor profile claim, feedback, or any other information to the Service, you represent and warrant that (i) the information is accurate, complete, and not misleading; (ii) you have all rights necessary to submit it; (iii) the submission does not infringe or misappropriate any third party’s rights; and (iv) where you submit it on behalf of an entity, you are authorized to bind that entity.

You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, store, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, and display any non-personal information you submit (including vendor metadata, product descriptions, and logos provided to us) for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Service. You retain any rights you have in the underlying content; we do not claim ownership of your trademarks. Submissions and applications do not create an obligation to publish a listing or to maintain a listing once published.

A successful claim of a vendor profile gives the claimed vendor limited ability to update certain attributes of its listing, subject to our review. We reserve the right to verify any claim, request additional evidence, deny a claim, or revoke a previously granted claim if we believe the claim is inaccurate, fraudulent, or made by a party without authority.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:

• use the Service in violation of any law, regulation, or sanctions program;
• copy, scrape, mirror, frame, deep-link en masse, or systematically extract data from the Service, including by automated means, except as permitted by our robots.txt or with our prior written consent;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service or any related system, circumvent rate limits, authentication, or other access controls, or attempt to access data not intended for you;
• interfere with or disrupt the Service, attempt denial-of-service, introduce malware, or place excessive load on our infrastructure;
• submit false, misleading, infringing, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or otherwise unlawful content;
• fabricate referrals, generate fraudulent affiliate clicks, leads, or conversions, tamper with attribution parameters, or otherwise attempt to obtain compensation you are not entitled to;
• use the Service to send unsolicited communications, recruit users, or harvest contact information; or
• reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of any non-open component of the Service.

We may investigate suspected violations, cooperate with law enforcement, preserve and disclose information when legally required or to protect the rights, property, or safety of users or the public, and suspend or terminate access at any time without liability.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including its name, logo, design, text, graphics, code, data compilations, calculation methods, and other materials (the “Site Content”), is owned by or licensed to CanYouMineIt and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial purposes, and to print or download reasonable portions of the Site Content for that purpose, provided that you retain all proprietary notices.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Third-party trademarks, manufacturer names, and product names referenced on the Service (including but not limited to Bitmain, MicroBT, Whatsminer, Antminer, Canaan, AvalonMiner, and Escrow.com) are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and informational purposes only. Such references do not imply any sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation unless expressly stated.

9. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respect the intellectual-property rights of others and respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). If you believe content on the Service infringes a copyright you own or control, send a notice to hello@canyoumineit.com that includes:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
• identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information sufficient to locate it on the Service (URL);
• your contact information (address, telephone, email);
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on its behalf.

Misrepresentations may give rise to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). We may forward notices to the affected party and may terminate the access of repeat infringers.

10. Third-party content and external links

The Service contains links to and information about third-party websites, products, services, vendors, exchanges, mining pools, hosting providers, news articles, and advertisements. We do not control, operate, or endorse those third parties, do not adopt their content, and are not responsible for their products, services, terms, privacy practices, security, accuracy, or availability. Your dealings with any third party are solely between you and that third party.

11. Calculator and data accuracy

Profitability calculations, ROI estimates, payback periods, network statistics, and similar outputs are model-based estimates. They depend on assumptions and on data we obtain from third-party sources (including but not limited to public block-explorer APIs and price oracles) that may be delayed, inaccurate, or temporarily unavailable. Network difficulty, hashrate, block rewards, transaction fees, exchange rates, electricity tariffs, and hardware performance change continuously. We make no representation or warranty that any output is current, complete, or correct, and we disclaim all liability for any decision made in reliance on the outputs.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, with all faults. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we and our affiliates, licensors, suppliers, and service providers (collectively, the “CYMI Parties”) expressly disclaim all warranties, conditions, and representations of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, uninterrupted or error-free operation, accuracy, completeness, or any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

Without limiting the foregoing, the CYMI Parties make no warranty that (a) the Service will meet your requirements; (b) the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; (c) any data, calculation, vendor information, or content will be accurate, complete, or reliable; (d) defects will be corrected; or (e) the Service or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in such jurisdictions, the exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the CYMI Parties be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including without limitation damages for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost opportunity, lost mining rewards, hardware losses, business interruption, or substitute goods or services, arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Service, any content or vendor information, any reliance on a calculation or estimate, or any conduct of a third party, regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort including negligence, strict liability, statute, or otherwise) and even if the CYMI Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

The aggregate liability of the CYMI Parties for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total amounts you paid to us, if any, in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100). The limitations in this Section reflect an allocation of risk between you and us, are a material basis of the bargain, and apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the CYMI Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of or access to the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or any third-party right, including any intellectual-property, publicity, or privacy right; (d) any content you submit to the Service; or (e) any transaction you enter into with a vendor or other third party found through the Service. We reserve the right, at our sole expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with our defense.

15. Privacy

Our collection and use of information about you is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service you acknowledge that you have read the Privacy Policy.

16. Suspension and termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to all or any part of the Service at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice, including for suspected violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnities, intellectual-property provisions, governing law, and dispute resolution) will survive.

17. Changes to the Service and to these Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including features, content, vendor listings, and pricing of any paid offerings, without liability. We may also update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Effective date” above and, where practicable, provide additional notice (for example, a banner on the Service). Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

18. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Subject to Section 19 (Dispute resolution), the state and federal courts located in Wyoming will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to arbitration, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

19. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver

Please read this Section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to bring a lawsuit in court.

Informal resolution. Before filing any formal dispute, you agree to first contact us using the details in Section 23 with a written description of the dispute, the relief you seek, and your contact information, and to negotiate in good faith for at least sixty (60) days.

Binding arbitration.Except for (a) claims that may be brought in small-claims court within that court’s jurisdictional limits and (b) claims for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect intellectual-property rights, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its then-current consumer rules, in the English language, with the seat of arbitration in Wyoming (the parties may agree in writing to a different seat). The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Class-action waiver.YOU AND CANYOUMINEIT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable in a particular case, then this entire Section 19 will be void as to that case and the dispute will proceed in court under Section 18; the remainder of these Terms remains in full force.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out using the contact details in Section 23 within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your full name and an unambiguous statement that you reject arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

20. Export controls and sanctions

You represent and warrant that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in any country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of restricted parties, including the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. You agree to comply with all applicable export, re-export, and sanctions laws and regulations in connection with your use of the Service.

21. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms and the documents they incorporate by reference (including the Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship.

Force majeure. We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, attacks on infrastructure, supply-chain disruptions, or changes in cryptocurrency networks.

Notices. Legal notices to us must be sent using the contact details in Section 23. We may give notices to you by posting on the Service, by email if you have provided one, or by any other reasonable means.

Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is provided for convenience; the English version controls.

22. State- and region-specific terms

California users. Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users are entitled to know that they may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 N. Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at +1 (800) 952-5210.

EU/UK users. If you are a consumer ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may have additional rights under local consumer-protection law that cannot be waived by contract. Nothing in these Terms is intended to override those rights.
