Welcome to the millix.org website. these terms of use apply to all users of the website located at www.millix.org, all services we may provide through the site, and to the millix client available to you through the Site (collectively the "Services").
the site is operated by the Millix Foundation (referred to as "we", "our", or "us"). these terms of use are a binding agreement between us and you. you are referred to in these terms of use as "you" or "your". together, you and we are collectively referred to as the "parties" or a "party".
by using the site or our services, including viewing content, downloading a client, or participating in transactions (described below), you signify that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these terms of use. if you do not agree to all of these terms of use, please do not use the site or our services.
you further represent that you are at least 18 years old and are not otherwise barred from using our services under the laws of the location where you reside or any other laws.
through our site, you may download a millix client (the "client") where you may store the millix digital currency. through the client, you may send millix to others and you may receive millix from others, using a client address unique to each client (each an "address"). each request for millix or the sending or receiving of millix by you or others through the client is referred to in these terms of use as a "transaction".
you may download a millix client for free. when you download a client, the client software will reside on your computer or device memory. you will be required to select a password for the client and the client software will generate the unique randomly selected address for your client. this address will also be stored on your computer or device. it is important for you to remember that we don't have access to your client, the address for your client, or to your password. you are solely responsible for maintaining accurate records of your client password and address. if you lose any of them, we can't restore them for you as we do not have them and you will lose your millix. when you download a client, you certify that you have never been removed or suspended from using our services.
you understand that we have no obligation to verify others’ clients. this means that when you use your client to send to or receive millix from a third party, you are solely responsible for ensuring that the third party address you use is correct and that it belongs to the individual or entity claimed to be the owner of the address, and that you are providing your correct address to others from who you wish to receive millix. you agree that we take no responsibility and make no representations whatsoever with respect to client ownership or addresses, or your use of an incorrect address. you agree that we have no obligation to screen site users, addresses or clients, and can't verify the identity of any user or client. any dealings or interactions you may have with other site users, accounts or clients are at your own risk. we will not be responsible for any harm caused to you by virtue of your interaction or dealing with another user or otherwise by virtue of your use of the site, services or a client.
if a person successfully logs in to your client, they will have full access to your millix and will be able to conduct any transaction allowed by the client. if you cannot log in to your client, we cannot assist you in gaining access to your client and there is nothing further we can do to provide access to your client. you agree that we have no responsibility for any losses you incur, including loss of your millix, as a result of your inability to access your client due to lost or incorrect passwords or addresses.
in connection with your use of the client, you agree as follows:
you will not at any time use a client that belongs to any other user.
we cannot guarantee the identity of any user, sender, requester, receiver or any other party and you are solely responsible for any activity that occurs in connection with your client.
you will keep your client credentials secure at all times.
you will verify all transaction information before entering into any transaction through the client as once you submit the transaction, we can't cancel it.
we may provide to any governmental authority all information we have about you and your use of the client in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
millix associated with any pending transaction will not be available in your client or available for any other transaction.
you will not use the site, client or services for any purpose or in any manner that is inconsistent with any applicable laws or regulations.
you will not use the client or services to purchase or sell any products or services that are restricted by any governmental authority or that are unlawful.
you will not use the client or services to transmit spam email or unsolicited advertisements to others.
you will not use any information obtained from the site or other users in order to contact, advertise to, solicit, or sell to any user without their prior explicit consent.
you will not interfere with, disrupt, or create an undue burden on the site, or the networks or services connected to the site.
you will not disrupt or interfere with the security of, or otherwise cause harm to, the site, the services, any client or related materials, system resources, accounts, passwords, servers, or networks connected to or accessible through the site.
you understand and agree that the client only allows you to make and receive millix payments. in other words, you cannot use our services to exchange millix or other digital currencies for fiat currencies issued by governments (e.g. US Dollars, Euros, etc.). we do not store or conduct transactions for any fiat currencies.
you understand and agree that we have no obligation to pay or provide to you any interest payments on amounts in your client, or any other benefits that may derive from you being the owner of the millix within your client.
we grant you a royalty free, nontransferable license to download and use the client on your computer or device for the client's intended purpose and provided you are in compliance with all of these terms of use and all applicable laws. except as expressly provided in this paragraph, we do not grant any express or implied rights to use or modify the client. the services, our site, and the client are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and/or other intellectual property laws, and any unauthorized use of the site, services or client may violate such laws and these terms of use. you agree not to use, copy, republish, frame, download, transmit, modify, assign, distribute, or create derivative works based on the site or our services or their selection and arrangement, except as expressly authorized herein.

you agree to indemnify, defend and hold us and our subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, owners, members, officers, directors, agents, successors, partners and employees, harmless from any losses, damages, fines, taxes, judgments, costs and expenses, as they are incurred (including reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation expenses), that we may be subject to which arise from or are related to any alleged act or omission by you or your agents or representatives, or that arise from or are related to any of your transactions or use of the site, client or services, that would constitute a breach of these terms of use, a violation of applicable law, or a violation of any person or entities rights, including without limitation their intellectual property or privacy rights.
these terms of use are governed in all respects by the laws of the state of Delaware, USA without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
all claims and disputes arising under or relating to these terms of use, the site, client or the services are to be settled solely and finally by binding arbitration rather than in court. however, you may pursue claims in small claims court to the extent your claims qualify.
by agreeing to arbitrate, you and we understand and agree that disputes between you and us will not be decided by a jury and that you and we may not have the right to have a court review the arbitration award or to appeal it.
the arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the AAA rules, including the AAA's supplementary procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. you may obtain copies of the AAA's rules and instructions on how to commence a claim at www.adr.org or by calling (800) 778-7879. payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. If such fees you are required to pay would exceed the fees and costs you would incur in a court proceeding, we will reimburse you for such fees to the extent they exceed the amounts you would be required to pay in court, unless the arbitrator determines your claims are frivolous. if we prevail in the arbitration, we will not request attorneys' fees and costs from you in the arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous or unless they are otherwise allowed by applicable law.
you may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the United States in the state you choose or at another mutually agreed location. the arbitration shall be conducted in English and the arbitrator shall follow these terms of use as a court would.

in the event any party commences litigation in any state or federal court, or in any other court or location, the other party shall be entitled to payment of attorney's fees and costs in seeking to compel arbitration and such fees and costs shall be awarded by the court compelling arbitration. in any order compelling arbitration, the court shall include an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation costs and expenses against the party commencing litigation and such award may be entered as a judgment and immediately enforced.
you and we each agree that all dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. if for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.
you are solely responsible to determine any taxes that may apply to you or any transactions you conduct through the services and client, and to withhold, collect, report and remit the correct amounts of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities.
you agree that we will not be liable for delays, performance failures or service interruptions which result directly or indirectly from any cause or condition beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to, any delay or failure due to any act of God, act of civil or military authorities, act of terrorists, civil disturbance, war, pandemic, strike or other labor dispute, fire, interruption in telecommunications or Internet services or network provider services, failure of equipment and/or software, other catastrophe or any other occurrence which is beyond our reasonable control.

millix is an open source cryptocurrency project. millix is fully decentralized, designed for simplicity, transacts at very high speed and very large scale.
work began on the project in spring of 2018 by a diverse group of developers and business professionals. their motivation to create a cryptocurrency protocol with the use case potential of millix came from their backgrounds building:
social network platforms
content management systems
e-commerce systems
data distribution systems
online financial services
communication services
affiliate marketing
manufacturing and logistics operations
gaming platforms
accounting and legal practices
fundamentally, there was a recognition that
which influenced the following set of first principles:
currencies should not be created with debt
currencies should operate at infinite scale
the cost of securing value can't exceed the value it secures
a currency's market value should be proportionate to its fundamental value
participants that increase fundamental value should be compensated
currencies should function without carrying the weight of previous transactions
currencies should work the same throughout the spectrum of transaction values
modern currencies should be at least as simple to use as primitive currencies
simplicity at the edge is only possible with equal simplicity in the foundation
to the extent there is an inverted correlation between utility and a store of value, millix is not intended to compete with the use case or feature set of blockchain projects. the utility that comes from scale and speed has been prioritized, leading to the principles and methodologies described above.

the total allocation of 9,000,000,000,000,000 mlx (nine quadrillion millix) were created in a genesis event on January 20th , 2020. millix is not being offered directly for sale. instead it will be distributed to participants who support and improve the millix ecosystem.
participants running millix software constantly receive millix for performing protocol related tasks that improve the millix ecosystem, such as storing transaction data and verifying transactions.
the economy is envisioned to allow any participant to incentivize any computing activity by any other participant via fees.
unlike blockchain cryptocurrencies, millix is built on the logic of Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) for transaction speed and capacity that increases as more transactions and users are added.
millix is original work and was not built on a copied code base of existing work. millix has no points of centralization. millix has no designed bottlenecks. millix has no hierarchy of participants of capabilities. millix data is natively sharded.

the initial millix road map consisted of the following themes:
base organization and functionality
connecting millix protocol to machines for large scale transactions
large scale transaction speed and storage
a community of earning
store and own your personal data
