Terms of Use

1. Agreement to Terms

2. Eligibility

You represent that you are legally competent, not barred by law or sanctions from using blockchain services, and that your use complies with local laws (including AML/CTF and tax requirements). Access may be restricted where unlawful.

3. Non-Custodial / Custody Notes

StakeXDC interfaces are designed for self-custody wallets; however, certain protocol operations (e.g., validator key management or handling of staked assets) may rely on third-party custody arrangements or service providers. We do not control third-party providers and disclaim responsibility for their performance or solvency. Users retain on-chain ownership as defined by the relevant network/protocol.

4. Protocol Interactions

You understand that transactions are irreversible once confirmed on-chain; gas fees are non-refundable. Token mints/burns/redemptions (psXDC is minted and redeemed at the vault share price) and withdrawal queue timing are governed by smart contracts, the vault's liquid balance and network conditions, and may change or pause. No guarantee of availability or performance is made.

5. Rewards & Economics

Displayed APY/APR, multipliers, bonuses (including NFT multipliers), and emissions are variable, discretionary, and not guaranteed. We may update parameters (including fees, reward rates, caps, cooldowns) without prior notice to maintain protocol safety or sustainability.

6. Prohibited Uses

You may not use the Services to: violate laws; infringe IP; engage in fraud, market manipulation, or wash trading; attempt to breach security; deploy malware; circumvent geoblocks; or facilitate sanctions evasion.

7. Intellectual Property

Documentation, UI, branding, and non-open-sourced code/content are our intellectual property. You receive a limited, revocable license to access and use the Services for their intended purpose. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

8. Open-Source Components

Where components are open-sourced, such code is licensed only under its stated license(s). In case of conflict between such license(s) and these Terms, the open-source license controls for that code.

9. Disclaimers; No Advice

The Services are provided as-is without warranties (see Risk Disclosure). Nothing herein is investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for hacks, exploits, security breaches, lost private keys, or lost funds, nor for indirect or consequential damages. Any remaining liability is limited as stated in the Risk Disclosure. This clause is fundamental to the bargain between you and us.

11. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless StakeXDC and its contributors from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising out of or related to your use of the Services or violation of these Terms or of applicable law.

12. Changes; Upgrades; Pauses

We reserve the right to modify, upgrade, or pause the Services (including contracts, parameters, or integrations) at any time for security, compliance, or operational reasons. Your continued use of the following changes constitutes acceptance.

13. Severability; Entire Agreement; No Waiver

If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains effective. These Terms (plus documents incorporated by reference) are the entire agreement. No waiver is effective unless in writing.
