USE OF ANY TECHNOLOGY OR MECHANISM, SUCH AS A VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (“VPN”) TO CIRCUMVENT THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN IS PROHIBITED.

You access the Services by connecting a third-party digital wallet holding digital assets to smart contract systems offered by third parties that communicate with the Services. You understand that we do not hold your digital assets, have no power of disposal over your digital assets, or take any custody of them. We have no access to your digital assets or funds.

The Services constitute a website-hosted user interface (“Interface”). The Interface is an open-sourced frontend software portal which allows you to participate in different non-custodial staking mechanisms on Pyth Network (“Pyth Staking”), an open-source oracle network (“Pyth Network”) governed by the Pyth DAO that provides financial market data to blockchain-based applications powered by a blockchain protocol (“Pyth Protocol”). All transactions conducted on the Pyth Protocol are run by related permissionless smart contracts. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PYTH DAO IS AN INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY ENTITY, NOT CONTROLLED BY, NOR UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE ASSOCIATION.

THE PARTICIPATION IN PYTH STAKING MAY BE SUBJECT TO SLASHING PENALTIES ON STAKED DIGITAL ASSETS ASSESSED BY PYTH NETWORK PURSUANT TO THE PYTH PROTOCOL (“SLASHING PENALTIES”). WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY SLASHING PENALTIES, YOU ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO INDEPENDENTLY RESEARCH AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH SLASHING PENALTIES MAY OCCUR, INCLUDING WHEN AND HOW THEY ARE TRIGGERED, AS WELL AS THE ASSOCIATED RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES.

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE ASSOCIATION DOES NOT CONTROL PYTH NETWORK AND CANNOT CONTROL ANY ACTIVITY ON PYTH NETWORK, INCLUDING PYTH STAKING, THE ACTIVITIES OF PERSONS WHO DEVELOP AND USE APPLICATIONS ON PYTH NETWORK, THE PRODUCTION OF DATA ON PYTH NETWORK, OR USE OF PYTH NETWORK.

We are not responsible for the keys to any digital assets or your seed phrase, or their loss or disclosure to others. The Association does not maintain your keys or your seed phrase, and is not responsible for their safe keeping. It is your responsibility at all times to ensure you have such credentials and maintain them securely. ANY LOSSES YOU SUFFER RELATING TO YOUR DIGITAL ASSET TRANSACTIONS, SLASHING PENALTIES, DIGITAL KEYS AND WALLETS, AND EXCHANGES ARE YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND YOU HEREBY INDEMNIFY US, AGREE TO DEFEND US, AND HOLD US HARMLESS AGAINST ANY CLAIMS OR LOSSES THAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE SUFFERS AS A RESULT OF YOUR DIGITAL ASSET TRANSACTIONS, OR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN PYTH STAKING, EVEN IF YOU INITIATED YOUR TRANSACTION BY ACCESSING OUR SERVICES. If, once you use the Services and participate in Pyth Staking, and your digital assets are somehow transferred to a third party you didn’t intend to have them, it is your responsibility to get them back. PLEASE KEEP YOUR SEED PHRASE AND DIGITAL KEYS SAFE, AS THE ASSOCIATION DOES NOT HAVE THEM AND DOES NOT KNOW THEM. IF YOU LOSE THE KEYS OR SEED PHRASE, YOU MAY LOSE ACCESS TO YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS.

You also understand that we do not act as your agent, transaction broker, financial intermediary, or financial advisors or give you any advice of any kind with respect to what digital assets you choose to hold in your wallet or any staking thereof. As with Pyth Staking you can participate in via the Services, it is your responsibility and you are solely responsible for the contents of your third-party digital wallet, your staking decisions, how,when you stake digital assets and with whom and any occurrence of Slashing Penalties. It is also your responsibility to ensure you understand digital assets, how they work, what their value is, about staking such digital assets and the possibility of the occurrence of Slashing Penalties, as there are significant risks in doing so, all of which you solely assume.

Also note that the digital wallet you use for the Services may not connect or stake all digital assets. It is your responsibility to ensure compatibility with the Pyth Network.

We may suspend your access to or use of, or cancel your access to or use of the Services for any reason, including if we believe you have engaged in or are about to engage in any kind of fraud, if required pursuant to applicable laws, or you violate these Terms. We may provide you with notice of suspension, but do not undertake an obligation to do so. We may change the functionality of the Services at any time, which means some features could no longer be supported after a time. You acknowledge that this is the case, and accept this risk. Given that the third-party digital wallets are non-custodial, we do not perform any activities to vet Users prior to allowing them to create their third-party digital wallets or stake digital assets. You acknowledge that this is a risk you accept when you interact with the wallet or other users of the Services.

Our Services may at times make mistakes. You accept the risk that your transactions may be improperly processed, or not processed at all. We will not be liable for any such event. You hereby hold us harmless from any such event. We offer no guarantees and shall not provide any refunds for any services you paid for staking digital assets, even if you lose such digital assets.

We do not own, operate or control Pyth Network, its products and services (including Pyth Staking) or any parts thereof. Accessing, using or interacting with Pyth Network does not require the use of the Services. The Services aggregate and publish already publicly available information about Pyth Network in a user-friendly and convenient format. Such information might also be independently available from other sources.

The Association and the Services are not agents or intermediaries of the User, do not store or have access to or control over any digital assets, private keys, passwords, accounts or other property of the User, and are not capable of performing transactions or sending transaction messages on behalf of the User. The Services do not hold and cannot stake, purchase, sell or trade any digital assets. All transactions relating to the Pyth Network smart contract system are effected and recorded solely through the interactions of the User with the Solana network validators, who are not under the control of or affiliated with the Association or the Services.

The Association is not obligated to monitor access to or use of the Services or to review or edit any content. However, we reserve the right to do so in our discretion, if we choose.

We have the right to investigate violations of these Terms or conduct that affects the Services. We may also consult and cooperate with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the law.

You acknowledge and agree that digital assets are volatile and risky, and their staking is affected by many factors outside our or your control. You are solely responsible for any transactions, and for all fees that you may incur as a result of you staking digital assets, including (without limitation) “gas” costs.

You hereby agree that you hold us harmless against any and all claims arising from the transaction of your digital assets, or the timing of such transactions. Digital assets are not legal tender and are not backed by any government. Digital assets are not subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections.

You hold us harmless from and against any losses you suffer as a result of your use of such third-party services, networks and protocols, including Slashing Penalties, even if you access them from our Services.

You acknowledge that, while the Services and the underlying software have been tested, it is still relatively new and could have bugs or security vulnerabilities. You further acknowledge that the Services and the underlying software are still under development and may undergo significant changes over time that may not meet Users’ expectations.

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICES, OR WITH THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE SERVICES.

If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue to be fully effective.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of its right to enforce that provision, any other provision, or these Terms as a whole in the future.
