The terms and conditions in this Schedule A are applicable to Your use of Hbars (defined below) and the various transaction fees and payments that may be made on the Hedera Network, which terms and conditions are incorporated into the Terms by reference.
f. Hbar transactions may be taxable. All federal, provincial, territorial, state and local taxes and any other costs and expenses associated with the acceptance and/or use of Hbars are solely Your responsibility.
2. Node Activities. End Users will use Nodes to make API calls (“Transactions”) on the Hedera Network. By receiving and processing Transactions on the Hedera Network public ledger (“Node Activities”), Nodes may earn Hbars as described in paragraph 3 below. End Users who also host Nodes on the Hedera Network may be subject to separate node hosting terms which will control in the event such node hosting terms conflict with these Terms, but only as applied to Node Activities.
3. Transaction Fees and Payments. The Hedera Network operates through fees and payments, which are denominated and paid in Hbars, as described below. The size of the Network Fees and Service Fees may be found on a fee schedule on the Hedera Sites or by contacting Hedera at [email protected].
3.1 Transaction Fees. For each Transaction an End User submits to the Hedera Network, the End User pays a transaction fee (“Transaction Fee”). This Transaction Fee contains three separate fees, the Node Fee, Network Fee and Service Fee, as described below.
3.1.1 Node Fees. Node fees are paid by an End User to a particular Node in exchange for that Node submitting the End User’s Transactions to the Hedera Network (“Node Fees”), with such amount set by the Node’s host.
3.1.2 Network Fees. Network fees are paid by an End User to Hedera in exchange for the Hedera Network processing the End User’s Transactions into consensus (i.e., placing each Transaction in the correct place with respect to the chronological order of all Transactions on the Hedera Network) (“Network Fees”) and may be calculated based on a Transaction’s size, with such amount set by Hedera.
3.1.3 Service Fees. Service fees are paid by an End User to Hedera in exchange for the Hedera Network providing the service associated with that Transaction (e.g., a cryptocurrency transfer, smart contract processing, file storage) (“Service Fees”) and may be calculated based on a Transaction’s size, processing requirements, and service delivery time, with such amount set by Hedera.
3.1.4 Application Fees. Applications may charge additional fees for Transactions submitted by End Users (“Application Fees”), with such amount set by the Developer(s). Developers are solely responsible for the creation and implementation of Application Fees.
3.2.1 Node Payments. Hedera will make payments once a day to Nodes by distributing Hbars to the Accounts of those Nodes that were online and participated in submitting and processing Transactions on the Hedera Network during the previous 24 hours in accordance with the uptime requirements in paragraph 5 below (“Node Payments”). The Node Payments will be distributed to Nodes in proportion to the amount of Hbars associated with a Node’s Account (i.e., both Hbars held directly and Hbars proxy-staked to such Account). Node Payments will be funded solely from the Transaction Fees received by Hedera.
3.2.2 Proxy Payments. Hedera will make payments once a day to Hedera Accounts that have proxy-staked Hbars to Nodes that meet the Hedera Network participation requirements described in clause (i) above (such payments, “Proxy Payments,” and, such Accounts, “Proxying Accounts”). The Proxy Payments will be distributed to Proxying Accounts in proportion to the amount of Hbars staked by such Proxying Account as well as the terms of the agreement between such Proxying Account and the Node to which it proxy-staked Hbars.
3.2.3 Community Testing Payments. Hedera will make payments to eligible End Users as part of Hedera’s community testing program, described in Schedule C of these Terms. You acknowledge and agree that, if required to preserve the security of the network or facilitate regulatory compliance, Hedera may impose sale or transfer restrictions of Hbars in any general or specific case, and You agree that You will comply with such restrictions and that Hedera will have no liability to You based on its exercise of such right.
