SKILLISSUE Terms
Last Updated: April 18, 2024
These SKILLISSUE Terms (these “Terms”) governs any transactions involving $SKILLISSUE (as defined in Section 1 below). If you (“you,” “your,” or “User”) have claimed any $SKILLISSUE from the SKILLISSUE website at https://www.skillissue.fun/, you are referenced herein as “Type A User.” To the extent you hold $SKILLISSUE but have never claimed any $SKILLISSUE from the SKILLISSUE website, these Terms still apply to your holding and use of $SKILLISSUE (such Users are referred to herein as “Type B User”). For the avoidance of doubt, Type B Users are not customers of Pinata (as defined in Section 1 below), as Type B Users have not claimed any $SKILLISSUE from the SKILLISSUE website.
By obtaining, holding or using $SKILLISSUE, you understand and expressly agree that you have read, understood and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in these Terms and you acknowledge and agree that you will be bound by these terms and policies, regardless of whether or not you are a customer of Pinata, and you acknowledge that you have reviewed and understand our Privacy Policy. Each Section of these Terms apply to both Type A Users and Type B Users, and any use of “you” or “your” refers to both Type A User and Type B User.
1. Scope of $SKILLISSUE and Key Terms
$SKILLISSUE is a memecoin, a type of digital token, issued by Pinata Technologies, Inc. (“Pinata”) that operates on each of the blockchains listed here (collectively, as of any date of determination, the “$SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchains,” and each such digital token, a “$SKILLISSUE”). Each $SKILLISSUE is owned by Pinata. When $SKILLISSUE is issued to a User, the holding of $SKILLISSUE represents a license, subject to the limitation set forth in these Terms, from Pinata to such User. Subject to and conditioned on your compliance with all terms and conditions set forth in these Terms, Pinata’s issuance to you of $SKILLISSUE will grant to you a limited, revocable license to hold such $SKILLISSUE and receive the benefit of such $SKILLISSUE while held by you. You expressly acknowledge and agree that you do not, at any time, own any $SKILLISSUE. You further acknowledge that there are no implied licenses granted under these Terms and that $SKILLISSUE may be revoked at any time by Pinata.
Your holding and use of $SKILLISSUE is subject to these Terms and Pinata’s obligations hereunder are conditional on you complying with its provisions. You understand that any violation of these Terms may result in potential consequences, including the possible freezing or revocation of your $SKILLISSUE.
You understand and agree that sending $SKILLISSUE to another digital wallet address (a “Digital Wallet”) automatically transfers and assigns to the owner of that Digital Wallet (a “Holder”), and any subsequent Holder, the right to hold and use such $SKILLISSUE, in each case, in accordance with these Terms.
$SKILLISSUE is not designed to intrinsically create returns for Holders, increase in value, or otherwise accrue financial benefit to any Holder. Further, $SKILLISSUE does not itself generate any interest or return for its Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms only apply to $SKILLISSUE originally issued by Pinata.
2. Applicable Laws and Regulations; AML and CTF Compliance
Your holding and use of $SKILLISSUE is subject to the laws, regulations, and rules of any applicable governmental or regulatory authority, including, without limitation, all applicable tax, anti-money laundering (“AML”) and counter-terrorist financing (“CTF”) provisions and sanctions. You agree to act in compliance with and be legally bound by these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations. These Terms are conditional on your continued compliance at all times with these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations.
Applicable laws may require us to prevent Restricted Persons from holding any $SKILLISSUE. A Restricted Person means any person that is the subject or target of any sanctions, including a person that is:
Our AML and CTF procedures are guided by all applicable laws and regulations regarding AML and CTF. These standards are designed to prevent the use of $SKILLISSUE for money laundering or terrorist financing activities. We take compliance very seriously and it is our policy to take all necessary steps to prohibit fraudulent transactions, report suspicious activities, and actively engage in the prevention of money laundering and any related acts that facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing or any other financial crimes.
3. Limitations
By holding or using $SKILLISSUE, you represent and warrant that:
You also understand that there are additional representations and warranties made by you elsewhere in (or by reference in) these Terms and that any misrepresentation by you is a violation of these Terms.
If Pinata suspects or determines that you or any of your customers, as applicable, have violated these Terms, including, but not limited to, attempting to transact or transacting with Blocked Addresses (as defined in Section 9 (Risk Factors and Disclosures)) or attempting to engage or engaging in Restricted Activities or Prohibited Transactions, then Pinata may be forced to freeze or revoke your $SKILLISSUE.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pinata may determine not to make $SKILLISSUE in whole or in part, available in every market, either in its sole discretion or due to legal or regulatory requirements, depending on your location.
4. $SKILLISSUE Support Only; Copies, Forks & Advanced Protocols Not Supported
If you attempt to send $SKILLISSUE to a Digital Wallet that does not support $SKILLISSUE, your $SKILLISSUE may be lost forever. Pinata bears no responsibility for any losses you might incur as a result of you sending $SKILLISSUE to a Digital Wallet that does not support $SKILLISSUE.
As a result of the decentralized and open source nature of $SKILLISSUE it is possible that a party unaffiliated with Pinata could create an alternative, equivalent version of $SKILLISSUE either on one of the $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchains or on an unsupported blockchain (a “copy”) that operate independently from $SKILLISSUE. Similarly, it is possible that a party unaffiliated with Pinata may create an asset and purport that such asset is collateralized by or otherwise incorporates $SKILLISSUE into its design (a “wrapper”). Pinata supports only $SKILLISSUE and is under no obligation to support any copies of $SKILLISSUE or wrappers and assumes no responsibility for any value that might be lost as a result of this lack of support of copies of $SKILLISSUE.
As a result of the decentralized and open source nature of the blockchains on which $SKILLISSUE is supported, it is possible that a party unaffiliated with Pinata could create an alternative version of the blockchain (a “fork”). Note that in the event of a fork of one of the $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchains, Pinata may be forced to suspend all activities relating to $SKILLISSUE for an extended period of time until Pinata has determined in its sole discretion that such functionality can be restored (“Downtime”). This Downtime will likely occur immediately upon a “fork,” potentially with little to no warning, and during this period of Downtime you will not be able to conduct various activities involving $SKILLISSUE. In the event of a fork of one of the $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchains, Pinata shall, in its sole discretion, determine which fork it will support, if any.
5. $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchains and Smart Contract Modifications
$SKILLISSUE operates on $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchains. Pinata does not have any ability or obligation to prevent or mitigate attacks or resolve any other issues that might arise with any $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchain. Any such attacks or delays on any $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchain might materially delay or prevent you from sending or receiving $SKILLISSUE, and Pinata shall bear no responsibility for any losses that result from such issues.
Note that in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, a copy or fork of a $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchain or the identification of a security issue with a $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchain, Pinata may be forced to suspend all activities relating to $SKILLISSUE for an extended period of time until such Downtime is over. This Downtime will likely occur immediately upon a copy or fork of any $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchain, potentially with little to no warning, and during this period of Downtime you will not be able to conduct various activities involving $SKILLISSUE.
Pinata reserves the right to migrate $SKILLISSUE to another blockchain, protocol, or other technology in the future in its reasonable discretion. Upon Pinata’s request, you agree to take any and all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the migration of your $SKILLISSUE to another blockchain, protocol, or other technology identified by Pinata. Pinata will not be responsible or liable for any damages, losses, costs, fines, penalties or expenses of whatever nature, whether or not reasonably foreseeable by the parties, which you may suffer, sustain or incur, arising out of or relating to your failure to effectuate such migration of your $SKILLISSUE to another blockchain or protocol identified by Pinata.
6. Privacy

7. Communications
These Terms are provided to you and communicated in English and we will also communicate with you in English for all matters related to $SKILLISSUE.
8. Limited License; IP Rights
We grant the Holder of $SKILLISSUE a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license, subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, to access and use $SKILLISSUE solely for approved purposes as determined by Pinata. Any other use of $SKILLISSUE is expressly prohibited. Pinata and its licensors reserve all rights in $SKILLISSUE and you agree that these Terms does not grant you any rights in or licenses to $SKILLISSUE except for the limited license set forth above. Except as expressly authorized by Pinata, you agree not to modify, reverse engineer, copy, frame, scrape, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute, or create derivative works based on $SKILLISSUE, in whole or in part. If you violate any portion of these Terms, your permission to access and use $SKILLISSUE may be terminated pursuant to these Terms.
“Skillissue.fun” and “SKILLISSUE” and all logos related to $SKILLISSUE are either trademarks, or registered marks of Pinata or its licensors. You may not copy, imitate, or use them without Pinata’s prior written consent.

9. Risk Factors & Disclosures
The following list of risks associated with $SKILLISSUE is not exhaustive.
THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS
$SKILLISSUE is based on open source software and runs on $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchains. This means that third parties can elect to support $SKILLISSUE on their platforms without any authorization or approval by Pinata or anyone else. As a result, $SKILLISSUE support on any third-party platform does not imply any endorsement by Pinata that such third-party services are valid, legal, stable or otherwise appropriate. Pinata is not responsible for any losses or other issues you might encounter using $SKILLISSUE on non-Pinata platforms.
Pinata cannot control how third parties quote or value $SKILLISSUE, and Pinata is not responsible for any losses or other issues that may result from fluctuations in the value of $SKILLISSUE.
YOU ACCEPT ALL CONSEQUENCES OF SENDING $SKILLISSUE
$SKILLISSUE transactions are not reversible by you. Once you send $SKILLISSUE to a Digital Wallet, you accept the risk that you may lose access to, and any claim on, that $SKILLISSUE indefinitely or permanently. For example, (i) an address for a Digital Wallet may have been entered incorrectly and the true owner of such address may never be discovered, (ii) you may not have (or subsequently lose) the private key associated with such address, (iii) an address for a Digital Wallet may belong to an individual or an entity that will not return the $SKILLISSUE, or (iv) an address for a Digital Wallet belongs to an individual or an entity that may return the $SKILLISSUE but first requires action on your part, such as verification of your identity. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Terms is intended to obligate Pinata to track, verify or determine the provenance of $SKILLISSUE for Users, including any form of security interests claimed thereon.
BLOCKED ADDRESSES
Pinata reserves the right to “block” $SKILLISSUE from being transferred to certain Digital Wallets and freeze associated $SKILLISSUE (temporarily or permanently) that it determines, in its sole discretion, may be associated with illegal activity or activity that otherwise violates these Terms (“Blocked Addresses”). In the event that you send $SKILLISSUE to a Blocked Address, or receive $SKILLISSUE from a Blocked Address, Pinata may freeze or revoke such $SKILLISSUE and take steps it sees appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion. In certain circumstances, Pinata may deem it necessary to report such suspected illegal activity to applicable law enforcement agencies and you may forfeit any rights associated with such $SKILLISSUE. Pinata may also be required to freeze or revoke $SKILLISSUE in the event it receives a legal order from a valid government authority requiring it to do so.
SOFTWARE PROTOCOLS AND OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES
You are aware of and accept the risk of operational challenges. Pinata may experience sophisticated cyber-attacks, unexpected surges in activity or other operational or technical difficulties that may cause interruptions to the use of $SKILLISSUE. You agree to accept the risk of transaction failure resulting from unanticipated or heightened technical difficulties, including those resulting from sophisticated attacks. You agree not to hold Pinata accountable for any related losses.
COMPLIANCE
You are responsible for complying with applicable law. You agree that Pinata is not responsible for determining whether or which laws may apply to your transactions, including tax laws. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes arising from your use of $SKILLISSUE, including any accurate reporting of the tax or legal status of $SKILLISSUE in your jurisdiction.
LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY CHANGES
Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the U.S. state, U.S. federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer and/or value of $SKILLISSUE.
NO DEPOSIT INSURANCE
$SKILLISSUE is not subject to deposit insurance protection, including, but not limited to: (i) where your country of residence is the United States, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections; or (ii) where your country of residence is outside of the United States, an equivalent scheme in your country of residence.
ENCUMBRANCES
Depending on the actions of the holders of $SKILLISSUE before your receipt of such $SKILLISSUE from another Digital Wallet, it is possible that $SKILLISSUE in your Digital Wallet may become subject to a lien or other form of security interest. You agree not to hold Pinata accountable for any related losses due to the previous holders of such $SKILLISSUE.
TRANSACTIONS IRREVERSIBLE
When $SKILLISSUE are sent to another Digital Wallet, such transaction is completed on $SKILLISSUE Supported Blockchains. You bear all responsibility for any losses that might be incurred as a result of sending $SKILLISSUE to an incorrect or unintended Digital Wallet.
AFFILIATE ACTIVITIES
You understand and agree that individuals or entities affiliated with Pinata may hold, purchase, sell, or otherwise engage in transactions using or involving $SKILLISSUE. You further understand and agree that such persons may engage in this activity for any reason, including but not limited to engaging in commercial transactions, promoting transaction activity that utilizes $SKILLISSUE, or otherwise supporting the use or adoption of $SKILLISSUE. You understand and agree that no individual or entity, whether affiliated with Pinata or otherwise, is under any obligation to engage in these activities, and they may be discontinued at any time.
