[Liquidao] Terms of Use

Last Updated: July 8, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, Browse, or otherwise using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any other policies or guidelines that may be posted on the Platform from time to time. If you are using the Platform on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. The Platform and Services

The Platform provides non-custodial, smart contract-based tools for users to manage and automate their participation in various decentralized finance (DeFi) liquidity pools and yield farming protocols (e.g., Uniswap, Curve Finance). We provide software tools and interfaces to interact with public blockchain networks. We are not a financial institution, exchange, broker, or custodian. We do not hold your funds, assets, or private keys. You retain full control over your assets at all times.

3. Eligibility

To access or use the Platform, you must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and have the full right, power, and authority to enter into and comply with these Terms. You represent that you are not on any sanctions lists, or otherwise legally prohibited from using our services.

4. Risks and Disclaimers

YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM AND PARTICIPATION IN LIQUIDITY FARMING ACTIVITIES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS, AND YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE USING THE PLATFORM AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

4.1. Financial Risks:

• Volatility: The value of cryptocurrencies and digital assets can be extremely volatile. You understand that the value of your assets can fluctuate significantly and may result in substantial or complete loss.
• Impermanent Loss: Providing liquidity to pools is subject to impermanent loss, a risk inherent in AMM-based liquidity provision. You understand that even if the combined value of your assets increases, you might still end up with less USD value than if you had simply held the underlying assets.
• Market Risk: Market conditions (e.g., changes in trading volume, interest rates, competition) can negatively impact your returns.
• Liquidation Risk: Certain strategies or protocols may involve leverage or borrowing, which carry liquidation risk.
• Transaction Costs: While our automation aims to reduce fees, you are responsible for all network transaction fees (gas fees) associated with your interactions on the blockchain, which can be unpredictable and high.
• Economic Exploits: DeFi protocols can be subject to economic attacks (e.g., oracle manipulation, flash loan attacks) that can result in significant losses for liquidity providers.

4.2. Technical Risks:

• Smart Contract Vulnerabilities: The Platform relies on smart contracts. Smart contracts are subject to bugs, vulnerabilities, or exploits, which could lead to the loss of your assets. While audits may be performed, they do not guarantee the absence of all vulnerabilities.
• Blockchain Network Risk: The underlying blockchain networks (e.g., Ethereum) are subject to various risks, including congestion, security breaches, forks, and changes in consensus mechanisms, which can affect the Platform's functionality or the value of your assets.
• Malware & Security: You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your digital wallet, private keys, and any devices used to access the Platform. The Platform is not responsible for any losses due to malware, phishing, or other security breaches on your end.
• Internet & Connectivity Risks: The availability and performance of the Platform may be affected by internet outages, network latency, or other connectivity issues beyond our control.
• System Downtime: The Platform, or the underlying protocols it interacts with, may experience downtime, maintenance periods, or technical failures, which could impact your ability to manage your positions or result in missed opportunities.

4.3. Regulatory & Legal Risks:

• Uncertain Regulatory Landscape: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies and DeFi is uncertain and evolving. New regulations or governmental actions could negatively impact the Platform or the value of your assets.
• Tax Implications: You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes applicable to your cryptocurrency transactions and yield farming activities. We are not responsible for calculating, collecting, or remitting taxes on your behalf.
• Legal Compliance: You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction regarding your use of the Platform and participation in DeFi.

4.4. Third-Party Risks:

• Third-Party Protocols: The Platform interacts with various third-party DeFi protocols (e.g., Uniswap, Curve Finance, Aave). We do not control or endorse these third-party protocols, and we are not responsible for any risks or losses associated with their use, including smart contract bugs, rug pulls, or other failures.
• Third-Party Services: The Platform may integrate with or link to third-party services (e.g., wallet providers, data aggregators). We are not responsible for the products or services offered by these third parties.

5. No Investment, Financial, or Legal Advice

The information provided on the Platform, including any automation strategies, performance metrics, or market data, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment, financial, tax, legal, or other professional advice.
