Terms & Disclaimers
Please read carefully before using OverBuild Labs services, software, or hardware.
Draft — Under Legal Review
This page is being expanded to cover OverBuild Labs hardware products (OverMiner Nano firmware and OverMiner Lite finished hardware). The new hardware-related sections below are working drafts awaiting review by qualified legal counsel and may change without notice. They are published here as a good-faith expression of our intent to inform users of applicable risks; they do not represent a finalized legal agreement. Use of any OverBuild Labs software or hardware nevertheless constitutes acknowledgement of the risks described.
Beta Software Notice
All OverBuild Labs software, including the solo mining pool, OverManager, OverMobile, and OverMiner firmware, is currently in active development and may be considered beta software. Features may change, bugs are expected, and downtime may occur. Use at your own risk.
1. "As-Is" Disclaimer
All software, hardware, services, and content provided by OverBuild Labs ("the Service") are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or course of performance. OverBuild Labs does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components.
2. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall OverBuild Labs, its operators, contributors, or affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation loss of profits, lost mining rewards, hardware damage, property damage, personal injury, data loss, business interruption, or any other commercial damages or losses, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service.
3. Cryptocurrency Mining Risk
Cryptocurrency mining involves financial, hardware, and energy risks. By using OverBuild Labs services, software, or hardware you acknowledge and accept that:
- Mining results are not guaranteed and depend on network difficulty, luck, and hardware performance.
- You are responsible for verifying that the wallet address you provide is correct. Block rewards sent to an incorrect address cannot be recovered.
- Mining hardware can experience wear, overheating, or failure. You assume all responsibility for the operation and maintenance of your equipment.
- Cryptocurrency values are volatile. OverBuild Labs makes no claims about the future value of any coin.
- You are responsible for understanding and complying with applicable tax and legal obligations in your jurisdiction.
- OverMiner devices are lottery-tier miners. Statistically, an individual device may operate for years without finding a block. Do not purchase or build one expecting any specific return, including any return at all.
4. Solo Mining Pool
The OverBuild Labs solo mining pool forwards block rewards directly to the wallet address provided by the miner. OverBuild Labs does not custody, hold, or distribute any funds. The pool charges no fees, but accepts voluntary donations. Service availability is best-effort and is not guaranteed.
5. Software & Third-Party Components
OverBuild Labs software may include or rely on third-party open-source components, each governed by its own license. OverBuild Labs is not responsible for the behavior, security, or accuracy of third-party software. OverManager, OverMobile, OverMiner firmware, and related tools are provided without any guarantee of performance, compatibility, or fitness for any specific device or use case.
6. Hardware & DIY Devices
OverBuild Labs develops open-source firmware (such as OverMiner Nano) and may sell limited-run finished hardware (such as OverMiner Lite) directly or through third-party marketplaces. Regardless of whether you flash our firmware on a board you sourced yourself or purchase a pre-flashed device from us, all hardware is provided "AS IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND." We disclaim all implied warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
You acknowledge that:
- OverMiner devices are based on commodity ESP32 development boards manufactured by third parties. OverBuild Labs is not the manufacturer of those boards and makes no representations about their certification status (FCC, CE, UKCA, RCM, or other regulatory marks). It is your responsibility to verify that operating the device is lawful in your jurisdiction.
- The devices generate heat during operation. You assume all responsibility for providing adequate ventilation, using a properly rated USB power supply (5V DC, sufficient amperage for the device), supervising the device during initial use, and following any safety instructions in the documentation.
- You will not operate the device in a manner that could cause injury, fire, or property damage, including but not limited to: covering ventilation openings, exceeding rated input voltage or current, immersing the device in liquids, operating it in the presence of flammable materials, or modifying the device in ways that defeat thermal limits.
- Hardware sold by OverBuild Labs through third-party marketplaces is also subject to the policies of that marketplace.
7. Firmware & Flashing Risk
Flashing custom firmware to a hardware device may void any manufacturer warranty on that device, may render the device temporarily or permanently inoperable ("bricking"), and is performed entirely at your own risk. Proof of Prints provides firmware images and documentation as a convenience and is not responsible for any damage, data loss, or device failure resulting from flashing, configuration, or operation. You are responsible for verifying the integrity of any downloaded firmware and using it on hardware you own or have authorization to modify.
8. No Financial Advice
Nothing on this website or in any OverBuild Labs software constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All content is provided for informational purposes only. You should consult qualified professionals before making any decisions based on the content provided here.
9. User Responsibilities
You agree to use OverBuild Labs services, software, and hardware in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallets, private keys, and any devices used to access the Service. OverBuild Labs cannot recover lost wallets, keys, or rewards on your behalf.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless OverBuild Labs, its operators, contributors, and affiliates from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use, misuse, modification, redistribution, or operation of any OverBuild Labs software or hardware; (b) any third-party claim that your use of the Service or any device infringes their rights; or (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law.
11. Returns, Refunds, and Support
Hardware sold through third-party marketplaces (such as Etsy) is subject to the return and refund policies of that marketplace, which take precedence where they conflict with this section. Outside of those marketplaces, all hardware sales are final unless otherwise stated in writing at the time of purchase. Firmware is provided free of charge under its open-source license and carries no return entitlement. Community support is provided on a best-effort basis through our public channels; OverBuild Labs is not obligated to provide individual technical support, replacement, or repair.
12. Changes to Terms
OverBuild Labs may update these terms and disclaimers at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
