Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Topaz suite of products, including the marketing site, protocol documentation, public analytics dashboards, the Topaz Agent and developer integrations, and the Topaz decentralized exchange web application (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Topaz is a non-custodial, decentralized finance protocol deployed as smart contracts on public blockchains, primarily BNB Chain. The Services provide an interface to, and information about, those smart contracts. They include automated market making for swaps, liquidity provision, a ve(3,3) voting and incentive system, and related analytics and agent tooling.

• We do not take custody of, control, or have access to your assets or private keys.
• We do not execute transactions for you; you initiate and sign every transaction with your own wallet.
• Smart-contract interactions are peer-to-protocol and occur on a blockchain we do not control.
• We are not a broker, exchange operator, financial institution, money transmitter, or custodian.

The interface is provided as a convenience. You may also interact with the underlying smart contracts directly and independently of our Services.

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you:

• Are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms;
• Are not located in, a citizen or resident of, or organized under the laws of any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions, and are not on any sanctions or restricted-party list;
• Will not access the Services from a jurisdiction where doing so, or where the use of decentralized exchanges or digital assets, is prohibited or restricted;
• Are solely responsible for complying with all laws, regulations, and tax obligations that apply to you.

We may restrict or deny access to the Services to any person or in any jurisdiction, at our discretion, including to comply with legal requirements.

To use certain features you may connect a self-custodial wallet or authenticate through a third-party provider such as Privy, Google, or X. Your use of those providers is also subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet, credentials, private keys, seed phrases, and devices. Any transaction authorized through your wallet or account is your responsibility. We cannot reverse, cancel, or recover transactions, and we cannot restore lost keys. Never share your private keys or seed phrase with anyone; no legitimate Topaz service will request them.

Using DeFi protocols and digital assets involves significant risk. By using the Services, you acknowledge and accept these risks, including:

• Price volatility and the potential total loss of value of digital assets;
• Smart-contract vulnerabilities, bugs, exploits, and economic or oracle attacks, even where audited;
• Impermanent loss, slippage, failed transactions, and gas costs;
• Loss of funds from user error, phishing, compromised wallets, or malicious tokens;
• Regulatory uncertainty and the possibility of adverse legal or tax treatment;
• Blockchain network risks, including congestion, forks, reorganizations, and downtime;
• Third-party dependencies, including bridges, routers, RPC providers, and front-end hosting.

You are responsible for evaluating these risks and for any decision to transact. Nothing in the Services is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Conduct your own research.

The Services may reference the TOPAZ token, veTOPAZ locks, emissions, voting, bribes, and other protocol mechanics. Information about tokens, rewards, APRs, and analytics is provided for informational purposes only, may be inaccurate or delayed, and does not constitute a promise of future value, yield, or returns.

Digital assets are not deposits, securities offerings, or financial products offered by us, and they are not insured or guaranteed. You should not acquire any token expecting profit from the efforts of others.

You agree that you will not:

• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• Engage in money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, market manipulation, or sanctions evasion;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to, disrupt, or interfere with the Services or their infrastructure;
• Introduce malware, exploit vulnerabilities, or conduct denial-of-service or similar attacks;
• Use bots, scrapers, or automated means in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load or circumvents access controls;
• Misrepresent your identity, impersonate others, or infringe the intellectual-property or other rights of any party.

The Services may link to or integrate third-party tools, websites, data providers, authentication providers, and protocols. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services or content. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms. The inclusion of any link or integration does not imply our endorsement.

The Topaz name, logos, marketing site, documentation, and interface design are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for their intended purpose. Open-source components are licensed under their respective licenses. You may not use our marks without permission.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components, that information will be accurate or current, or that smart contracts are free of vulnerabilities. You use the Services at your own risk.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL TOPAZ OR ITS CONTRIBUTORS, AFFILIATES, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR DIGITAL ASSETS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Topaz and its contributors, affiliates, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, and we may update these Terms from time to time. When we update the Terms, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

We may restrict or terminate your access to the front-end Services at any time. The underlying smart contracts are decentralized and may remain accessible independently of our Services.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services will be governed by applicable law without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and you agree to resolve disputes on an individual basis. To the extent permitted by law, you waive any right to participate in a class action. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
