does not provide investment, legal, tax, or financial advice; and

does not guarantee any particular outcome, return, or performance.

4.3 Service Availability.

The availability, functionality, and scope of the Platform may vary by:

geography, regulation, and user status;

third-party provider availability; and

technical, security, or business considerations.

6. Wallets, Blockchain Operations & Non-Custodial Nature

6.1 Non-Custodial Design.

The Platform is designed as a non-custodial interface for interacting with compatible blockchains and smart contracts. This means:

you control your wallets and private keys at all times;

the Company does not hold, move, freeze, or reverse your funds; and

transactions are executed either by you directly or through smart contracts that you authorize.

6.2 Irreversibility of Transactions.

Most blockchain transactions are irreversible once confirmed by the network. The Company cannot reverse, undo, or modify any transaction that has been broadcast and confirmed on a blockchain. You are solely responsible for:

verifying transaction details (addresses, amounts, parameters) before authorizing; and

the consequences of your transactions, including errors or unintended transfers.

6.3 Network and Protocol Risks.

Your use of the Platform involves interaction with networks, protocols, and smart contracts that are outside of our control, including:

public or permissioned blockchains;

DeFi protocols;

other third-party smart contracts.

These systems may contain errors, vulnerabilities, forks, or other risks. The Company is not responsible for:

network congestion, delays, or failures;

protocol bugs or exploits;

chain reorganizations or forks;

loss of funds due to vulnerabilities in external smart contracts.

6.4 External Wallets & Devices.

If you use browser extensions, hardware wallets, or other applications to manage your keys:

those tools are operated by third parties; and

you are responsible for their configuration, security, and proper use.

We are not liable for any malfunction, failure, or compromise of third-party wallets or devices.

7. Financial Terms (Payments & Transactions)

7.1 Fees.

We may charge fees for certain transactions or features (for example, transaction routing, automation functions, marketplace operations, or integrations). When applicable:

fees will be disclosed before you confirm a transaction;

fees may be charged in fiat currency or digital assets; and

network or protocol fees (e.g. gas fees) are separate and paid to validators or network participants, not to the Company.

You authorize the deduction of applicable fees from your transaction or balance when you confirm a transaction through the Platform.

7.2 Fiat On-/Off-Ramps and Cards.

Where available, you may access fiat on- and off-ramp services or payment card features through integrated third-party providers:

those services are provided under the terms and conditions of the respective provider;

providers may charge additional fees, which will be disclosed by them;

the Company does not receive or hold fiat funds in these flows, unless explicitly stated in applicable Supplemental Terms.

7.3 Taxes.

You are solely responsible for:

determining whether, and to what extent, any transactions or rewards are taxable; and

reporting and paying taxes or duties imposed by your jurisdiction, including on income, gains, or value-added tax.

The Company does not provide tax advice and does not withhold or remit taxes on your behalf, unless required by law.

7.4 Refunds & Reversals.

Due to the nature of blockchain transactions:

on-chain transfers are typically non-refundable; and

the Company cannot guarantee reversals or refunds once transactions are executed.

Where refunds are possible (for example, subscriptions or fiat payments processed by third-party providers), such refunds will be handled according to the applicable service provider's refund policy and our Supplemental Terms, if any.

8. Rewards, Loyalty & Incentive Programs

8.1 Nature of Rewards.

The Platform may offer rewards, such as points, tokens, rebates, or other benefits, based on user actions, community activity, or other criteria ("Rewards").

Unless explicitly stated otherwise in Supplemental Terms:

Rewards do not represent legal tender, deposits, or securities;

Rewards do not guarantee any monetary value or convertibility; and

Rewards may be changed, discontinued, or revoked at any time.

8.2 No Guaranteed Returns.

Rewards programs are not investment products. The availability, rate, or amount of Rewards:

is not guaranteed;

may change over time; and

may be adjusted or discontinued at our discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith.

8.3 Eligibility & Abuse.

We may define eligibility criteria for Rewards (for example, account status, geography, or activity thresholds). We may withhold, adjust, or cancel Rewards if we reasonably suspect:

fraud or abuse;

violation of these Terms; or

use of multiple accounts or other methods to unfairly gain Rewards.

9. Third-Party Services & Blockchain Disclaimer

9.1 Third-Party Services.

The Platform may integrate or interoperate with third-party services, including:

payment processors and banks;

card issuers and card program managers;

identity verification providers;

analytics, hosting, or communication tools;

other applications or protocols.

Third-party services are provided by independent entities, not by the Company. Their terms, privacy policies, and practices govern your use of those services.

9.2 No Endorsement.

Reference to any third-party services, protocols, or links on the Platform does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or warranty by the Company.

9.3 Third-Party Liability.
