Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and LCX Liberty Labs Inc. ("LCX Liberty," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the LCX Liberty websites, applications, software, interfaces, network infrastructure, developer tools, content, and related services that link to these Terms (collectively, the "Services").

The Services include, as made available from time to time, LCX Liberty Chain, hosted sequencer and rollup infrastructure, RPC and node endpoints, bridges and bridge interfaces, LCX Liberty Explorer, faucets, tokenization and compliance tools, documentation, APIs, SDKs, support channels, developer account features, and security communications. The Services are made available through https://defi.lcx.com, https://chain.lcx.com, and https://explorer.lcx.com, related developer interfaces, and any other LCX Liberty website, application, or service that links to these Terms. The canonical legal hub for the Services is https://defi.lcx.com/legal.

By clicking to accept, connecting a Wallet, creating an Account or API credential, accessing a hosted interface, using an API or RPC endpoint, downloading software, or otherwise using a Service, you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy at https://defi.lcx.com/legal/privacy-policy, and any product-specific or transaction-specific terms shown to you. The risk disclosures and text-messaging provisions applicable to the Services are contained in these Terms.

If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you use the Services for a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization.

LCX Liberty Labs Inc. is a software and blockchain infrastructure company. Unless a specific feature expressly states otherwise in separate supplemental terms, LCX Liberty is not acting as a bank, broker-dealer, national securities exchange, alternative trading system, investment adviser, futures commission merchant, introducing broker, swap dealer, commodity pool operator, money transmitter, custodian, fiduciary, transfer agent, clearing agency, or lender.

The Services are separate from products and services offered by other LCX Group companies. Registrations, licenses, authorizations, customer protections, custody arrangements, and insurance that may apply to another LCX Group company do not apply to the Services merely because of common branding or affiliation. See Section 29.1 for the entities and products that these Terms do not govern.

A technology label, including "decentralized," "DeFi," "permissionless," "self-custody," "Layer 2," or "tokenized," does not determine the legal treatment of a product, asset, transaction, or participant. Applicable law and the actual operation of the relevant feature control.

No statement in these Terms is intended to avoid any law that applies to LCX Liberty. These Terms allocate contractual risk to the maximum extent permitted by law, but they do not exclude liability, duties, or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

In these Terms:

• "Account" means an optional hosted account, profile, API credential, developer credential, support profile, or compliance profile associated with a Service. A Wallet address is not, by itself, an Account.

• "Chain" means LCX Liberty Chain, including its Layer 2 network, protocol components, system contracts, sequencer, batcher, proposer, fault-proof or dispute mechanisms, data-availability arrangements, and related infrastructure.

• "Hosted Services" means websites, applications, APIs, RPC endpoints, sequencer services, explorers, bridge interfaces, data services, accounts, support, communications, and other services operated or made available by or for LCX Liberty.

• "LCX Group" means LCX Liberty together with its parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates.

• "LCX Group Parties" means LCX Liberty, the LCX Group, and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, service providers, successors, and assigns.

• "Protocol Components" means public blockchain software, open-source code, smart contracts, bridges, token contracts, and other decentralized or community-operated components that may be available independently of the Hosted Services.

• "Restricted Person" means a person who is sanctioned, blocked, prohibited, or otherwise ineligible under Section 4.

• "Third-Party Asset" means any token, stablecoin, NFT, tokenized real-world asset, tokenized security, structured product, synthetic asset, derivative, wrapped asset, bridged asset, or other digital asset not expressly issued by LCX Liberty under separate issuer terms.

• "Wallet" means any wallet, smart account, hardware wallet, browser wallet, mobile wallet, or other signing tool connected to a Service.

You may use the Services only if you are at least 18 years old, have legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and are not prohibited from using the Services under applicable law. If the age of legal majority where you live is higher than 18, you must meet that higher age.

You must not access or use any Service if you are a Restricted Person. You represent and warrant that you are not:

• located in, ordinarily resident in, organized under the laws of, or acting for a person in a country, region, or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions or embargoes administered by the United States, including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine, as those restrictions may change;

• identified on, owned or controlled by a person identified on, or acting for or for the benefit of a person identified on any sanctions, blocked-person, denied-person, entity, debarment, or similar restricted-party list maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, U.S. Department of Commerce, United Nations, European Union, United Kingdom, or another authority with jurisdiction;

• subject to a prohibition that would make your use of a Service unlawful, including an applicable securities, commodities, derivatives, money-services, financial-sanctions, export-control, consumer-protection, or gaming prohibition; or

• using the Services for the benefit of a Restricted Person or to evade a geographic, eligibility, investor-status, know-your-customer, anti-money-laundering, transfer, resale, or other restriction.

Certain Services, features, routes, assets, or liquidity sources may be available only in selected jurisdictions or to users who complete verification, satisfy issuer requirements, qualify as an eligible investor, or agree to supplemental terms. Availability through a public blockchain does not mean that a Hosted Service is available to you.

You must not use a virtual private network, proxy, relay, location-masking technology, false information, another person, or any other method to circumvent a restriction. We may use IP geolocation, wallet screening, device signals, account information, and third-party risk tools to apply restrictions.

We may permit, condition, limit, suspend, or refuse access to any Hosted Service, user, wallet, asset, route, protocol, or jurisdiction at any time for legal, compliance, security, operational, reputational, or risk reasons. We do not guarantee that any Service available to you today will remain available.

Some Services do not require an Account. Other Services may require an Account, verification, an API key, an access token, a telephone number, an email address, or other credentials. You must provide accurate and current information and promptly update it.

You are responsible for all activity associated with your Account, device, Wallet, private keys, seed phrase, passkeys, passwords, authentication codes, API keys, and other credentials. Do not share them. Maintain appropriate device security, backups, malware protection, and transaction controls.

LCX Liberty will never ask you to disclose a seed phrase or private key. Messages, websites, applications, social-media accounts, or support representatives that ask for them are fraudulent. You are responsible for verifying official domains and communications.

Notify us promptly at legal@lcx.com if you suspect unauthorized access to a Hosted Account or a security incident involving a Service. We may suspend an Account or credential to protect you, other users, or the Services, but we are not obligated or always able to prevent loss.

If you authorize another person, bot, agent, device, application, browser extension, smart account signer, session key, or automated tool to use your Account or Wallet, you are responsible for that authorization and its consequences.

Bridge interfaces help you interact with bridge contracts and cross-chain messaging systems. Assets may be locked, burned, minted, wrapped, represented, or released by smart contracts or third parties. A bridged asset may not have the same legal, technical, liquidity, or redemption characteristics as the original asset.

Deposits and withdrawals may require multiple transactions, proofs, relayers, messages, challenge periods, and Layer 1 fees. Finalization can take days. You are responsible for completing every required step and maintaining sufficient gas on each network.

Bridge contracts, relayers, oracles, sequencers, validators, fault proofs, messaging systems, and destination networks can fail or be exploited. A failure can cause permanent loss, duplication, delayed release, depegging, or inability to redeem. LCX Liberty does not insure bridged assets or guarantee recovery.

Only use official interfaces and verified contract addresses. Sending an unsupported token, using the wrong network, or transferring directly to a contract may cause permanent loss.

Tokenization tools are software and infrastructure. They do not make an asset lawful, validate ownership, create enforceable rights, perfect a security interest, satisfy corporate or securities law, establish a transfer agent or registry, or replace legal, tax, accounting, custody, valuation, disclosure, AML, sanctions, consumer-protection, or licensing work.

If you create, deploy, issue, mint, market, list, distribute, administer, or support a token, smart contract, asset, pool, dApp, or project through a Service, Schedule 1 applies. You are the responsible issuer, promoter, administrator, or business user unless a written agreement expressly provides otherwise.

You must not describe a project as "approved," "licensed," "regulated," "compliant," "verified," "backed," "insured," or "endorsed" by LCX Liberty solely because it uses the Chain or a tool. Optional compliance features do not guarantee compliance.

You may pay network gas, bridge fees, protocol fees, liquidity-provider fees, token taxes, third-party fees, partner fees, subscription fees, API fees, or LCX Liberty fees. Fees may be denominated in digital assets, fiat currency, or credits and may change. Fees charged by LCX Liberty will be displayed or described before you authorize the relevant paid transaction or service.

Network fees are determined by blockchain conditions and are generally nonrefundable, including when a transaction fails or reverts. Third-party fees are governed by the applicable third party.

Displayed estimates may exclude changing gas, price impact, token transfer taxes, third-party charges, or other costs. You must review the final Wallet request and transaction data before signing.

Except where required by law or expressly stated, fees and payments are final and nonrefundable. You are responsible for any taxes, duties, withholding, or reporting arising from your use of the Services.

The Services and all content, quotes, rankings, simulations, labels, alerts, analytics, token information, documentation, and communications are provided for general informational and technical purposes. They are not investment, financial, legal, tax, accounting, valuation, custody, or other professional advice and are not an offer, solicitation, recommendation, endorsement, or invitation to buy or sell any asset or service.

LCX Liberty does not evaluate suitability, appropriateness, financial condition, objectives, or risk tolerance and does not undertake fiduciary, agency, advisory, brokerage, or best-execution duties. You must make your own independent decisions and obtain professional advice where appropriate.

We may, but are not obligated to, use public data and third-party services to screen Wallet addresses, transactions, smart contracts, domains, devices, IP addresses, users, issuers, counterparties, and content for sanctions, illicit finance, fraud, phishing, malware, market abuse, geographic restrictions, and other risks.

We may require identity, business, source-of-funds, beneficial-ownership, investor-eligibility, or other due diligence for selected features. Verification may be performed by a third party. You must provide accurate, complete, and current information. Refusal or an unfavorable result may cause a restriction without entitling you to access.

Screening and verification tools can be inaccurate, delayed, or incomplete. A wallet may be blocked or warned because of indirect exposure, clustering, false positives, or changing data. We may act on a risk result without disclosing confidential criteria. We are not liable for good-faith restrictions or for a provider's error to the maximum extent permitted by law.

We may preserve and disclose information, cooperate with authorities, block access, or take other action as required or permitted by law. We are not obligated to challenge a legal demand on your behalf.

You must not use the Services, directly or indirectly, to:

• violate law, regulation, court order, sanctions, export controls, intellectual-property rights, privacy rights, contractual restrictions, or these Terms;

• engage in money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, fraud, theft, extortion, ransomware, market manipulation, wash trading, spoofing, insider trading, front-running for an unlawful purpose, deceptive token promotion, or other illicit conduct;

• offer, sell, distribute, trade, or facilitate an unregistered or unlawful security, derivative, commodity interest, payment service, gambling product, loan, deposit, money-transmission service, or other regulated product;

• circumvent geofencing, wallet screening, verification, rate limits, access controls, transfer restrictions, token lists, security controls, or issuer requirements;

• introduce malware, exploit vulnerabilities, interfere with infrastructure, overload or disrupt a Service, conduct denial-of-service activity, access nonpublic systems, or extract data through abusive scraping;

• reverse engineer, decompile, copy, resell, sublicense, or create a competing hosted service from proprietary components except to the extent an open-source license or applicable law expressly permits;

• use bots, automation, or AI in a manner that is abusive, deceptive, unlawful, or disproportionate, or that imposes unreasonable load;

• impersonate another person, misrepresent affiliation, submit false information, use another person's Wallet or telephone number without authorization, or interfere with another user's activity;

• create or distribute a token or asset that is counterfeit, misleading, malicious, infringing, unbacked contrary to its disclosures, or designed to evade law; or

• assist, encourage, or enable another person to do any of the foregoing.

Authorized security research is permitted only under a published LCX Liberty vulnerability-disclosure or bug-bounty policy and within its scope. We may investigate suspected violations and preserve evidence.

The Services may link to, display, integrate, route to, or depend on third-party blockchains, protocols, smart contracts, wallets, hardware devices, app stores, websites, data providers, market makers, resolvers, RPC providers, bridges, on-ramps, off-ramps, identity providers, analytics tools, communication providers, and other services.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. LCX Liberty does not control them and is not responsible for their security, availability, accuracy, legality, fees, eligibility decisions, data handling, performance, or losses. A link or integration is not an endorsement.

Third-party terms may change and may allow the provider to block, freeze, reverse, delay, cancel, or refuse service. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with them.

A Service labeled beta, testnet, preview, pilot, early access, experimental, developer, or similar is provided for evaluation and may not have completed production testing, audits, security review, or legal review. It may contain defects, vulnerabilities, incomplete features, or inaccurate data.

Experimental features may be changed, reset, degraded, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice or support. Testnet state and assets may be deleted. Do not use testnet assets as money or rely on experimental features for production, safety-critical, or legally regulated activity.

Content may be generated, decoded, summarized, translated, simulated, ranked, or analyzed automatically, including by AI or third-party systems. Outputs may be wrong, incomplete, stale, biased, or inconsistent with your intent. You must review every output and transaction independently.

Security, phishing, sanctions, token, contract, and transaction alerts are informational and may fail to identify a risk or may identify a legitimate item as risky. We do not guarantee alert accuracy and have no duty to provide an alert.

Historical performance, APY, yield, reward, price, volume, market capitalization, backing, reserve, or valuation data does not guarantee future results. Any displayed reward is an estimate and may be modified, canceled, withheld, or subject to separate terms.

LCX Liberty and its licensors own the Hosted Services, proprietary software, documentation, content, databases, designs, brands, domains, and other intellectual property, including the LCX and LCX Liberty names and marks. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable license to use the Hosted Services for their intended purpose.

Open-source components are governed by their applicable licenses. If an open-source license conflicts with these Terms for that component, the open-source license controls. These Terms do not grant rights to LCX trademarks or to operate a confusingly similar service.

You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant LCX Liberty a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, reproduce, adapt, display, transmit, and use that content as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, improve, and promote the Services, subject to the Privacy Policy. You represent that you have all required rights and that the content is lawful and accurate.

We may remove or restrict content, token metadata, logos, links, or listings. Copyright or intellectual-property complaints may be sent to legal@lcx.com with identification of the work, the challenged material, contact information, a good-faith statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and authorized.

If you provide ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use them without restriction or compensation.

You are solely responsible for determining, reporting, withholding, and paying all taxes arising from the Services, digital assets, rewards, fees, transactions, token issuance, or other activity. LCX Liberty does not provide tax advice. We may report information or withhold amounts where required by law.

We may add, modify, limit, suspend, discontinue, replace, or terminate any Hosted Service, feature, route, asset display, endpoint, network component, documentation, fee, or eligibility condition at any time. We may do so without prior notice where reasonably necessary for security, legal, technical, or operational reasons.

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access or Account for any reason permitted by law, including suspected violation, risk, inactivity, nonpayment, security concerns, or product discontinuation.

Because non-custodial assets remain in your Wallet, termination of a Hosted Service does not transfer ownership of your assets to LCX Liberty. You remain responsible for using independent tools to access assets and for revoking approvals or migrating integrations.

Sections that by their nature should survive will survive, including Sections 2, 3, 6, 11 through 17, 19, 20, 22, and 26 through 33, and Schedules 1, 2, and 3.

You consent to receive agreements, notices, disclosures, records, security messages, and other communications electronically, including by posting in a Service, email, in-app notice, push notification, or SMS where you opt in. Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing to the extent permitted by law.

You need internet access, a compatible device and browser or application, and software capable of displaying and retaining electronic records. You may retain a copy by printing or saving it. You may withdraw consent to electronic communications by contacting legal@lcx.com, but we may be unable to provide some Services afterward.

Our Privacy Policy at https://defi.lcx.com/legal/privacy-policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information, including information associated with cookies, local storage, analytics, Wallet connections, public blockchain activity, security screening, and SMS communications. By using the Services, you acknowledge the Privacy Policy.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES, PROTOCOL COMPONENTS, CONTENT, DATA, ALERTS, QUOTES, ROUTES, SOFTWARE, SMART CONTRACTS, NETWORKS, AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS." LCX LIBERTY AND THE LCX GROUP PARTIES DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, AVAILABILITY, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT A SERVICE WILL BE CONTINUOUS, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, COMPATIBLE, LEGAL IN YOUR JURISDICTION, OR FREE OF MALWARE; THAT A TRANSACTION WILL BE INCLUDED, EXECUTED, SETTLED, FINAL, REVERSIBLE, OR PROFITABLE; THAT AN ASSET IS AUTHENTIC, BACKED, SOLVENT, REDEEMABLE, TRANSFERABLE, OR LAWFUL; OR THAT DATA, SIMULATIONS, ALERTS, OR THIRD-PARTY CONTENT ARE ACCURATE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS. IN THAT CASE, THE DISCLAIMERS APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

You acknowledge that blockchain, self-custody, Layer 2 networks, bridges, smart contracts, digital assets, tokenized assets, DEXs, aggregators, APIs, and experimental technology involve substantial risk, including total and permanent loss. You have reviewed Schedule 3 and voluntarily assume all risks described in these Terms, Schedule 3, all transaction-specific disclosures, and all other risks reasonably connected with the Services. The hack, malicious-activity, software-vulnerability, and no-refund risks described in Section 23.1 are material risks of using the Services.

You are solely responsible for evaluating whether you have sufficient knowledge, experience, financial capacity, security practices, and legal eligibility. You should not use assets you cannot afford to lose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release the LCX Group Parties from claims and liabilities arising from or relating to third-party services, Protocol Components not controlled by LCX Liberty, other users, issuers, market participants, lost credentials, unauthorized signatures, blockchain events, or risks that you assume under these Terms, except to the extent caused by a liability that cannot lawfully be released.

If California Civil Code Section 1542 applies, you waive it and any similar law to the extent permitted. Section 1542 generally limits a release of claims that a releasing party does not know or suspect to exist and that would materially affect the settlement with the released party.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LCX GROUP PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, DATA, PRIVACY, OR DIGITAL ASSETS; COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOST KEYS, UNAUTHORIZED SIGNATURES, FAILED OR MISROUTED TRANSACTIONS, PRICE MOVEMENT, SLIPPAGE, MEV, SOFTWARE DEFECT OR VULNERABILITY, HACK, EXPLOIT, MALICIOUS CODE, CYBERATTACK, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, DATA CORRUPTION, SMART-CONTRACT FAILURE, BRIDGE FAILURE, NETWORK INTERRUPTION, FORK, DEPEG, ISSUER DEFAULT, REGULATORY ACTION, OR THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ALL LCX GROUP PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) USD 100 OR (B) THE FEES YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO LCX LIBERTY FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT FIRST GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

THE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THEY DO NOT LIMIT LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. YOUR JURISDICTION MAY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the LCX Group Parties from claims, investigations, demands, proceedings, losses, liabilities, penalties, judgments, damages, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from or relating to your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Services, your breach of these Terms, your content, your violation of another person's rights, or your tokens, assets, projects, contracts, applications, or business activities.

For an individual consumer, this indemnity applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law and only to conduct attributable to you. We may control the defense with counsel of our choice, and you must reasonably cooperate. You may not settle a claim imposing liability or obligations on an LCX Group Party without our written consent.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY: This Section requires most disputes to be resolved by individual binding arbitration and limits the manner in which you may seek relief. You may opt out within 30 days.
