Those policies include additional terms and conditions and are an integral part of these Terms.

2. DEMO
The Website also provides a demo of Aurora Silos, using the test Silo known as Aurora Innovation, a blockchain platform designed for fast, secure, and scalable transactions (the “DEMO”). The DEMO allows users to experience the following:
- Access control: Users can request access to Aurora Innovation by connecting to Metamask and adding their details (name, company, email).;
- Custom transaction fee tokens & mechanics: Once access is granted, you will receive an email and 500 INNO tokens to your address (native token of Aurora Innovation, used to pay for transactions in Aurora Innovation in a way that goes beyond the limits of Ethereum);
- Contract deployment restriction: Other Ethereum-compatible environments are permissionless, in that anybody with access can deploy a smart contract. With Aurora Cloud Silos, you can restrict who is and is not allowed to deploy a contract. You can confirm now, that you are NOT permitted, by clicking here to attempt to deploy a contract. You will then see that the transaction fails. (Remember, this costs 1 INNO to try.)
- Interoperability: If you have certain Aurora tokens, then considering that Aurora Cloud Silos are built on the NEAR Protocol, and to demonstrate interoperability, you can move the AURORA tokens between NEAR and Aurora Innovation;
- Ethereum compatibility: Aurora Cloud Silos are fully Ethereum-compatible. This means you have the full availability of Ethereum smart contracts and tools for your use! You can experiment this by trading INNO and POODLE, Aurora Innovation’s own meme coin. Each POODLE originally cost 2 INNOs, but this exchange rate will fluctuate as people interact with this AMM.
In case you are interested in learning more about Aurora Silos, you are able to send us an email by clicking the Contact Us buttons available on the Website.

8. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms, and all disputes and claims arising out of or in connection with these Terms or its subject matter or formation, including non-contractual disputes and claims, are governed by the laws of Gibraltar without regard to its conflict of laws rules. These laws will apply no matter where you live or are located in the world. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, nothing in these Terms, including the aforementioned choice of law provision, affects your rights as a User to rely on any mandatory provisions of the country's law in which you are resident.
You and Aurora: (a) waive the right to have any and all disputes or claims arising from these Terms, your use or access to the Website or any other disputes with Aurora (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in a court; and (b) waive any right to a jury trial. Instead, you and Aurora agree to arbitrate Disputes that are not resolved informally (as described below) through binding arbitration (i.e. the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it) instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
You and Aurora agree that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. Neither party agrees to class arbitration or to an arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and Aurora agree that a dispute cannot be brought as a class, or other types of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
You agree that will notify Aurora, in writing, of any Dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises so that you and Aurora can attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Dispute informally. Your notice must include (1) your name, postal address, and email address; (2) a description of the nature or basis of the Dispute; and (3) the specific action that you are seeking. If you and Aurora cannot resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days of Aurora receiving the notice, either you or Aurora may, as appropriate pursuant to this section, commence an arbitration proceeding. You and Aurora agree that any arbitration or claim must be commenced or filed within one (1) year after the Dispute arose; otherwise, you and Aurora agree that the claim is permanently barred (which means that you will no longer have the right to assert a claim regarding the Dispute).
