Terms of Use

This website (the “Interface”) is the front end to the INFERNO protocol. By accessing or using it you agree to these terms. If you do not agree to them, do not use the Interface.

These terms apply to the Interface only. They do not create any obligation on our part in respect of the INFERNO smart contracts, the blockchain they are deployed to, any asset, or any third party.

The INFERNO protocol is a set of smart contracts deployed to a public blockchain. Once deployed they are immutable: they cannot be upgraded, paused, altered or reversed by us or by anyone else. We do not operate them, we cannot stop them, and we cannot recover anything sent to them.

The Interface is one way to send instructions to those contracts. It is a convenience, not a gatekeeper. You may interact with the contracts directly, through another interface, or through your own software, and the result will be the same.

Every transaction you make is signed by you and sent by you. We never take custody of your assets, never hold your keys, and are never a party to your transaction. A transaction that has been confirmed cannot be undone by us, by you, or by anyone.

By using the Interface you represent that:

(a) you are of legal age and have full capacity to enter into these terms; (b) you are not a person or entity subject to sanctions administered by the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States or any other applicable authority, and are not acting on behalf of one; (c) you are not located in, resident of, or accessing the Interface from a jurisdiction in which doing so would be unlawful or would require registration, licensing or authorisation that has not been obtained; and (d) your use of the Interface complies with all laws that apply to you.

Determining which of these apply to you is your responsibility. The Interface does not verify your identity, your location or your eligibility, and its availability to you is not a representation that your use of it is lawful.

We are not a broker, dealer, exchange, custodian, money transmitter, investment adviser or financial institution, and we do not act in any of those capacities towards you. No fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship is created by your use of the Interface.

Nothing on the Interface, in its documentation, or in any communication from us is investment, financial, legal, accounting or tax advice, or a recommendation to enter into any transaction. Any figure, quote, projection or historical rate shown is informational, may be inaccurate or out of date, and is not a promise of any outcome.

The protocol does not offer a fixed rate of return, and nothing is distributed to holders of any token. A token's vault is funded only by a fee on trades routed through the Interface, and receives nothing when no such trades occur.

A token launched through the protocol names an artificial-intelligence model operated by a third party. We do not build, host, control, endorse or guarantee any such model, and its developers and operators are not associated with us, receive nothing from any token, and have not approved its launch.

A token names a model; it does not use one. The Interface does not route requests to any model, does not resell access to one, and holding a token grants no access to one. The identifier stored on a token is a label, fixed at deployment and never read by any contract.

Names and identifiers of third-party models are used solely to indicate which model a token is attached to. Their use implies no affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from the parties that own them, and any rights in them remain those of their owners.

Because the Interface provides no access to any model, nothing here is subject to the terms a model's operator attaches to its use.

You use the Interface and the protocol at your own risk, and you may lose some or all of what you commit. The Risks chapter of the documentation forms part of these terms by reference and describes these risks in detail. They include, without limitation:

(a) defects in smart contract code, which has not been audited by an independent firm; (b) failure, censorship, halting or reconfiguration of the underlying blockchain, which is operated by a single party; (c) a token's creator selling the stake they acquired at its launch; (d) thin liquidity and the price impact of your own trades; (e) prolonged or permanent periods in which a token is not traded, during which its vault receives nothing and nothing is burned; (f) the absence of any operator able to pause, reverse or remedy anything; and (g) loss of your private keys, for which no recovery exists.

The protocol charges a fee on trades routed through the Interface, paid into the traded token's own vault, and may charge a fee on launching a token. Rates are stated in the documentation and fixed for a given deployment. Amounts already deposited into a vault cannot be withdrawn or redirected by us or by anyone else.

You are separately responsible for network transaction fees, for any charges imposed by your wallet or other services you use, and for any taxes arising from your activity.

The Interface depends on services we do not control, including your wallet, the blockchain and its operator, node providers used to read and submit transactions, and the operators of the blockchain itself. Their conduct, availability and terms are their own.

To read the blockchain and submit your transactions, the Interface forwards requests to a node provider. Those requests can include the address you are using and the data of the transaction you are making.

Links to third-party resources are provided for convenience and are not an endorsement. We are not responsible for their content or their conduct.

The Interface is provided without any commitment as to availability. We may modify, suspend, restrict or discontinue it, in whole or in part, at any time and without notice, including for a particular jurisdiction or a particular user.

If the Interface becomes unavailable, the protocol does not. The contracts remain deployed and can be used directly, and your position remains yours to withdraw without our involvement.

You must not use the Interface to:

(a) break any law that applies to you, or evade any sanction, restriction or licensing requirement; (b) launder money, finance terrorism, or handle the proceeds of crime; (c) manipulate a market, or engage in conduct intended to defraud any person; (d) interfere with the Interface's operation, circumvent its rate limits or security measures, or access it by automated means at a rate likely to degrade it for others; (e) misrepresent your identity, location or eligibility; or (f) infringe anyone's rights.

The Interface is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, to the fullest extent permitted by law. This includes any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Interface will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or free of error, that any information it displays is accurate or current, or that any defect will be corrected. No advice or information obtained from us creates any warranty not expressly stated here.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profit, revenue, data, goodwill or opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Interface or the protocol — whether based in contract, tort, statute or otherwise, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility.

Without limiting the above, we are not liable for losses arising from: defects in smart contract code; the acts or omissions of any asset issuer, blockchain operator, node provider or wallet; your own transactions, including those made in error; loss or compromise of your keys; or the value of any asset.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Interface, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or of the rights of any third party.

The name, branding, design and content of the Interface belong to us or to our licensors, and nothing in these terms transfers any right in them to you. You may not use our branding in a way that suggests an association or endorsement that does not exist.

Where source code is published under an open-source licence, that licence governs your use of that code and prevails over this clause in respect of it.

We may change these terms at any time. The version published on this page is the one in force, and the date at the top of the page is when it last changed. Continuing to use the Interface after a change means you accept the revised terms.

If you do not accept a change, stop using the Interface. Doing so does not affect your ability to withdraw any position you hold, which is a matter between you and the contracts.
