​

2. Advisory Nature: Our services are strictly limited to architectural consultation, design services, and related advisory services. We expressly do not provide, and clients should not rely upon us for, legal, tax, financial, investment, real estate brokerage, or other professional services in any jurisdiction.

​

​

Service Agreement

​

1. Governing Law: All service agreements between Jones Pierce Inc. d/b/a HODL House and clients are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, regardless of where the client or property is located.

​

2. Dispute Resolution: Any disputes arising from our services shall first be addressed through mandatory mediation in Atlanta, Georgia, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parties agree to binding arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

​

3. International Collaboration: For projects outside the United States, HODL House may collaborate with local architects or engineers. The terms of such collaboration will be specified in the project agreement.

​

Bitcoin Payments

​

1. Payment Processing: We use Zaprite as our Bitcoin payment processor. All invoices will be issued in USD with an option to pay in Bitcoin at a 10% discount from the USD price.

​

2. Invoice Mechanism: When choosing to pay with Bitcoin, you will receive a Zaprite invoice via email containing a QR code and payment details. This invoice will remain valid for the period specified on the invoice (typically 15 minutes due to Bitcoin price volatility).

​

3. Exchange Rate: The Bitcoin amount due is calculated at the time you open the invoice using Zaprite's current exchange rate. The locked-in exchange rate is valid only for the duration specified on the invoice.

​

4. Payment Confirmation: Payments through Zaprite are confirmed on the Bitcoin network. Once your payment has received the required network confirmations, Zaprite will notify both parties that payment has been completed.

​

5. Payment Options: Through Zaprite, we accept payments via:

• On-chain Bitcoin transactions

• Lightning Network payments

• Other methods as available through Zaprite's platform

​

6. Failed or Expired Payments: If a payment expires before completion, a new invoice must be generated, which may reflect an updated exchange rate. Partial payments that do not meet the full invoice amount will require additional payment to complete the transaction. Any partial payments received may be subject to additional processing fees and will be converted at the exchange rate in effect at the time of the subsequent payment.

​

7. Refunds: Any refunds will be processed in the same currency as the original payment. For Bitcoin payments, refunds will be calculated based on the USD value of services at the time of the refund, converted to Bitcoin at the current exchange rate.

​

8. International Payment Regulations: Clients are responsible for complying with all applicable laws regarding Bitcoin transactions in both their jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of their intended property.

​
