NodeLink’s assessment of activity, inactivity, or breach will be made in good faith using objective criteria and internal review procedures. ​

9.9. Appeal mechanism

Any User receiving a notice under Section 9.8 may file a written appeal to [email protected] within fifteen (15) days of receipt, explaining their position and providing any supporting evidence.

Instead, Users are assigned to a NLK Shared Infrastructure Program.

No physical hardware is shipped or assigned to the User under this model.

11.1.2. Physical Device Acquisition (Participation above $500): For participation amounts exceeding $500, Users must acquire a physical computer device and participate in the USDN Program. The device is strictly required for this plan to access USDN-based activation modules and higher-plan participation features.

11.2. For Users in the Physical Device Acquisition plan (Clause 11.1.2), payment of the applicable shipping or delivery fee is mandatory at the time of purchase. NodeLink does not offer in-house pickup, internal delivery, or warehouse collection options. NodeLink disclaims all liability for delays or issues arising during the shipping or setup of computer devices. All necessary fees, including shipping for physical devices, must be settled immediately upon acquisition to ensure access to the network and associated rewards.

11.3. The computer device and/or extensions provided to the Users may differ in appearance, design, technical specifications, or quantity from the representations shown on the NodeLink platform or at the time of purchase.

11.4. NodeLink reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to substitute the acquired device with the most current version or available stock, including upgraded or different-generation models, as supported by the Platform at the time of fulfillment.
