Accessing the Services and Account Security
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Services, and any service or material we provide on the Services, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Services is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may also restrict access to some parts of the Services, or the entire Services, by any user in our discretion.
You are responsible for:
- Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Services.
- Ensuring that all persons who access the Services on your behalf are aware of these Terms of Use and comply with them.
To access the Services, or some of the resources they offer, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information, and you may be required to connect your digital wallet. You represent and warrant to us that you have permission to connect this digital wallet and use the funds therein. You are responsible for the use of your funds once you connect your wallet, and for any actions of anyone who uses your digital wallet credentials to log into and use the Services.
You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name, password, wallet address, or any other breach of security. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your seed phrase, keys, password, or other sensitive information. It is a condition of your use of the Services that all the information you provide on the Services is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register with the Services or otherwise, including but not limited to through the use of any interactive features on the Services, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.
We have the right to disable any user name, password, wallet address, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use.
You understand that your content may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks; (b) posting of your transactions on public blockchains, which are available for the public to see; and (c) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.
We are not responsible for securing your seed phrase or keys if you lose them, if someone steals them from you, or if someone obtains access to them somehow (whether in transit to you, or from your systems or networks, or because you otherwise misplaced them or disclosed them). You acknowledge that if someone has your keys or seed phrase, they have the ability to transfer your digital assets outside your control, and that you may be unable to trade or make use of them. It is your responsibility to establish a means for recovering your seed phrase and keys. We do not have access to or store your keys or seed phrases, so we cannot assist you in recovering your seed phrases, keys, or digital assets if they are lost or stolen, or if the backup or security measures that you have established are compromised.
Use of the Services and Fees
The Services allow you to connect a digital wallet that you control and hold digital assets, and provide a user interface that enables you to deploy, call, or otherwise interact directly with the Protocol and other smart contracts and blockchain technologies. Through the Services, you may submit transactions to the Protocol, including transactions that involve collateral management and collateral utilization, in each case as governed solely by the applicable smart contracts and the Protocol.
Transactions facilitated through the Services may involve the use of smart contracts that require the maintenance of specified collateralization ratios. If the value of your collateral falls below the applicable thresholds, your position may be automatically liquidated, in whole or in part, by the applicable smart contracts without prior notice and without any action, consent, or intervention by us. You acknowledge and agree that any such liquidation is executed solely pursuant to the terms of the applicable smart contracts and market conditions, and not by us, and that we do not monitor, control, prevent, or reverse any liquidation events. We have no ability to control or any governance positions with the Protocol. Your access to the Protocol and any decentralized autonomous organization actions taken on thereon through the Services is offered as a convenience only, and you acknowledge and agree that any Protocol information may be incorrect or incomplete as listed on the Services.
You understand that we do not hold your digital assets and take no custody of them. It is your responsibility to ensure that you maintain control of your digital assets. Once you make a transaction regarding a digital asset, it cannot be cancelled or recalled. Because of the nature of blockchain technology, all transactions are final and cannot be refunded or undone. Once a transaction has been recorded in a digital wallet as instructed when the transaction was initiated, it cannot be recalled or retrieved under any circumstances. You hereby agree that you are not entitled to any credit or refund for any transactions you make, and that all such transactions are final.
You acknowledge and agree that we do not control the Protocol or any third-party blockchain technologies that you use, even if accessing them from the Services. We only provide a convenient way for you to access such technologies.
The Services may contain web interfaces or blockchain explorers that display network data and allow users to submit transactions or interact with smart contracts. Data shown is sourced from public network activity and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. The availability of a transaction, a contract method, or a token balance in an interface does not constitute an endorsement or a recommendation by Company. Company may modify, suspend, or discontinue any interface or any data feed at any time. We may, in our discretion, impose fees for access to or use of certain functionality within the Services. Fee amounts and structures may change at any time without prior notice, and the precise fee applicable to a particular transaction may not be disclosed in advance. Third party protocols, blockchain networks, or service providers, including wallet providers and network validators, may impose additional fees, such as gas or transaction fees, which are your sole responsibility and may not be disclosed to you up front.
