3. Restricted Jurisdictions and Eligibility

3.1 Excluded Jurisdictions

The Platform, the API, and the Services are not available to any person located in, resident of, or incorporated in any of the following Excluded Jurisdictions:

3.2 Age Requirement

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the legal age for entering into binding agreements under Applicable Laws in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher, to access or use the Platform, the API, or the Services.

3.3 Eligibility Representation

By accessing the Platform, you represent and warrant on each occasion of access that you are not a Disqualified Person, you are not acting on behalf of a Disqualified Person, you are not located in or resident of an Excluded Jurisdiction, and your access to and use of the Services is lawful in your jurisdiction.

3.4 Non-Circumvention

You agree not to access the Platform or the API using any virtual private network (VPN), proxy service, or any other technology or method intended to disguise your location or identity for the purpose of circumventing these Terms, the Excluded Jurisdiction restrictions, or any eligibility requirement. Any such circumvention is a material breach of these Terms.

3.5 IP-Based Access Controls

We implement IP-based access controls to restrict access from Excluded Jurisdictions. These controls are not guaranteed to be comprehensive, and their existence does not transfer to the Company any responsibility for determining the lawfulness of your access. You remain solely responsible for ensuring your use complies with Applicable Laws.

4. The Services

4.1 What the Service Is

The Company provides a non-custodial API that receives a structured action or natural-language intent, resolves it against live Protocol data, and returns a ranked set of unsigned transaction options (Calldata) by an explicit, stated criterion. The User or the User's agent reviews the options, selects one, and signs and broadcasts the transaction using the User's own Wallet. Digital Assets flow directly from the User's Wallet to the relevant Protocol contracts.

THE COMPANY IS NOT A BROKER, DEALER, EXCHANGE, CUSTODIAN, OR INTERMEDIARY, AND IS IN NO WAY YOUR AGENT, ADVISER, OR FIDUCIARY. THE COMPANY CANNOT INITIATE, EXECUTE, OR REVERSE ANY TRANSACTION AND CANNOT ACCESS YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS.

4.2 What the Service Is Not — Critical Disclaimers

The Company expressly does not, and the Services do not:

4.3 Connecting a Wallet

To use the Services that require a Wallet, you must connect a compatible non-custodial Wallet through a Wallet Infrastructure Provider (including but not limited to WalletConnect and Privy). Connecting a Wallet enables the Platform to communicate with the third-party Wallet software, which is exclusively responsible for effecting any transaction you initiate.

You are solely responsible for the security of your Wallet, including your private keys, seed phrases, and credentials. If you lose access to your Wallet or your keys are compromised, the Company cannot recover your Digital Assets and has no liability for any resulting loss.

Where we reasonably believe a Wallet connected to or attempting to connect to the Platform has been used in connection with any Prohibited Use, we may, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, suspend or restrict that Wallet's access to the Platform.

4.4 Transaction Execution and Review

All transactions are executed by you, using your own Wallet, on Blockchain Networks the Company does not own, control, or operate. Before any transaction is executed, you are presented with the transaction details and must confirm and sign through your Wallet. You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying all Calldata and transaction details before signing.

Once broadcast to a Blockchain Network, a transaction cannot be reversed, cancelled, or modified by the Company. The Company has no control over Blockchain Networks and cannot guarantee that any transaction will be confirmed or processed.

4.5 Calldata Accuracy and Timing

The API generates Calldata based on real-time data at the time of the request. Market conditions, prices, liquidity, gas, and Protocol parameters may change between generation and execution. The Company does not guarantee that Calldata remains accurate, optimal, or executable after generation. You are responsible for verifying that the Calldata reflects your intended transaction before signing.

4.6 Multi-Step Composition

The Services may return Routes composed of multiple sequential interactions across independent Protocols. Any step may fail due to slippage, gas, Protocol unavailability, or changed conditions, and a partially completed sequence may leave Digital Assets in an intermediate state. The Company cannot reverse or complete a partially executed sequence. You are responsible for ensuring sufficient Digital Assets and gas before initiating any sequence.

4.7 Third-Party Services

The Services integrate with Third-Party Services, including Protocols (such as swap aggregators, decentralised exchanges, lending and borrowing protocols, yield protocols, bridges, and trading venues), Wallet Infrastructure Providers (including but not limited to WalletConnect and Privy), and Blockchain Networks. The specific Protocols and Blockchain Networks available through the Services may be added to, removed, suspended, or disabled at any time at the Company's sole discretion. The Company does not control, audit, endorse, or guarantee any Third-Party Service. Your use of any Third-Party Service is at your own risk and may be subject to that party's own terms.

4.8 No Investment Advice

NOTHING ON THE PLATFORM OR RETURNED BY THE API CONSTITUTES INVESTMENT, LEGAL, TAX, OR FINANCIAL ADVICE. RANKINGS ARE COMPUTATIONAL OUTPUTS BASED ON STATED CRITERIA SUCH AS APY OR OUTPUT AMOUNT — THEY ARE NOT RECOMMENDATIONS AND DO NOT CONSIDER YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION, RISK TOLERANCE, OR OBJECTIVES. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL TRANSACTION DECISIONS. CONSULT QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION.

4.9 Developer Preview Status

The Platform is in Developer Preview. A formal third-party security review of the calldata-generation layer is planned before production partner onboarding. You should test thoroughly and start with small amounts. The Platform is not yet positioned as battle-tested production infrastructure.

4.10 Modification of Services

The Company may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Platform, the API, or any Service at any time without prior notice and in its sole discretion. This includes the right to add, remove, suspend, or disable any Protocol, integration, or Blockchain Network at any time and for any reason, including in response to a security incident, exploit, regulatory change, or loss of confidence in a Protocol. No Company Party shall be liable for any Loss arising from any such modification, suspension, discontinuation, addition, removal, or disabling.

4.11 Licence

Subject to these Terms, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform and API for lawful purposes. You may not sublicense, and we may revoke this licence at any time if you use or attempt to use the Platform in a manner prohibited by these Terms.

5. Partner API Integrations

5.1 Partner Responsibility

If you are a Partner accessing the API to build a product or service for end users, you are solely responsible for: (a) compliance with all Applicable Laws governing your product in each of your operating jurisdictions; (b) obtaining all licences, registrations, and regulatory approvals required to offer DeFi routing or related services to your end users; (c) all know-your-customer, anti-money-laundering, and sanctions screening for your own end users; and (d) ensuring your end users understand and accept terms no less protective of the Company than these Terms.

5.2 IntegratorFee

Partners may specify an IntegratorFee in API calls. The IntegratorFee is collected within the same user-signed transaction as the action and paid directly to the Partner's specified wallet address. The Company does not receive, hold, or transmit IntegratorFees. Partners are solely responsible for the tax, regulatory, accounting, and legal treatment of IntegratorFees in their jurisdictions and for all disclosures to their end users regarding such fees.

5.3 No Downstream Liability

No Company Party bears any liability for any Loss, claim, or regulatory action arising from a Partner's use of the API in any jurisdiction, from a Partner's end users' execution of transactions based on API responses, or from a Partner's failure to hold required authorisations. Partners indemnify the Company Parties for any such claim under Section 13.

5.4 AI Agents

If you access the API through, or permit access by, an AI agent or autonomous runtime, you are solely responsible for that agent's actions and any transactions it initiates or causes to be signed. The Company does not verify the accuracy of any agent-interpreted intent and bears no liability for transactions resulting from agent behaviour.

6. Fees

6.1 Protocol Referral Fees

The Company may receive referral or affiliate fees from certain Protocols (including swap aggregators and trading venues) on transactions routed through the API. These fees are paid by the Protocol, not billed to or charged to Users directly, and are embedded in quoted rates where applicable. Such fees are disclosed in API responses where applicable.

6.2 Fee Transparency

There are no hidden fees, withdrawal fees, or inactivity fees charged by the Company. Any fee applicable to a specific transaction is disclosed in the relevant API response before you confirm.

6.3 Gas Fees

You are solely responsible for all Gas Fees required by Blockchain Networks to process your transactions. Gas Fees are determined by network conditions, are not controlled by the Company, and no portion is received by the Company.

6.4 Third-Party and Partner Fees

Protocols and Partners may charge their own fees, including IntegratorFees. Such fees are not charged by or paid to the Company. You are responsible for understanding and paying any such fees.

6.5 Changes to Fees

The Company may modify its fee arrangements at any time. Changes apply to transactions initiated after the change takes effect and, where applicable, are reflected in API responses.

7. Acknowledgements and Representations

7.1 Your Representations and Warranties

By accepting these Terms, you represent and warrant to each Company Party that:

7.2 No Warranties by the Company

You acknowledge that no Company Party makes, and each Company Party expressly disclaims, any representation or warranty in relation to the Platform, the Services, the API, any Calldata, any Protocol, or any Digital Asset, except as expressly and unambiguously set out in these Terms.

8. Risk Disclosures

DEFI AND DIGITAL ASSETS INVOLVE SUBSTANTIAL RISK. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS. ONLY TRANSACT WITH ASSETS YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE.

8.1 General Risks

By using the Platform and Services, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:

8.2 Leverage, Perpetuals, and Borrowing Risk

Routes involving leveraged positions, perpetual contracts, or borrowing carry additional risks including liquidation, funding costs, margin calls, and accelerated loss. These products are not suitable for all users. You represent that you understand these risks before executing any such Route.

8.3 Composition and Sequencing Risk

Multi-step Routes may fail at any step, may leave Digital Assets in an intermediate state, and cannot be reversed or completed by the Company. You assume all risk of partial completion.

8.4 No Regulatory Protection

The Platform is not regulated by any financial services authority. You have no access to any financial ombudsman, compensation scheme, or regulatory dispute-resolution mechanism in connection with your use of the Platform.

8.5 Assumption of Risk

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE PLATFORM, THE API, AND THE SERVICES, AND THAT NO SMELTOR PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS YOU MAY INCUR.

9. Prohibited Uses

You may not use the Platform, the API, or the Services to engage in any of the following ("Prohibited Uses"):

9.1 Enforcement

The Company may investigate suspected violations and take any action it deems appropriate, including suspending or terminating access, reporting to law enforcement or Governmental Authorities, and pursuing legal remedies.

10. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM, THE API, AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITH ALL FAULTS, AND YOUR USE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Company Parties expressly disclaim all warranties, representations, and conditions of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including: (a) implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement; (b) any warranty that the Platform or Services will meet your requirements; (c) any warranty that access will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; (d) any warranty that Calldata or any result will be accurate, optimal, or reliable at the time of execution; and (e) any warranty that the Platform will be free of harmful code.

The Company Parties are not liable for the conduct of any third party, including Partners, other Users, Protocols, Wallet providers, and Blockchain Network operators. The Company Parties make no guarantee as to the price or value of any Digital Asset.

11. Limitation of Liability

11.1 Exclusion of Damages

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, no Company Party shall be liable for any Loss arising out of or relating to your use of the Platform, the API, or the Services, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential Loss (including loss of revenue, income, profits, data, or Digital Assets), even if advised of the possibility. In particular, no Company Party is liable for Loss arising from: (a) your failure to secure your keys or Wallet credentials; (b) unauthorised access to your Wallet; (c) failures, delays, or errors in Blockchain Networks or Third-Party Services; (d) smart contract bugs, exploits, or vulnerabilities; (e) market volatility, slippage, or liquidation; (f) any AI agent's actions; (g) partial completion of a multi-step Route; (h) regulatory actions or changes in Applicable Laws; or (i) any cause beyond the reasonable control of the Company Parties.

11.2 Fee-Proportionate Liability Cap

THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS DOES NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT.

This cap reflects the limited nature of the Company's role as a provider of routing computation that never takes custody, never executes transactions, and never deploys smart contracts.

11.3 Essential Purpose

You acknowledge that the Company Parties have offered the Platform and Services and entered into these Terms in reliance on the disclaimers and limitations in these Terms, which form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties and shall apply notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.

16.5 Survival

Sections 2, 4.2, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, and 18 survive any termination of these Terms.

18. General Provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Platform and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions continue in full force.

No waiver. The Company's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision or any right.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without the Company's prior written consent. The Company may assign without restriction. Any purported assignment in violation is void.
