Some features require you to connect a Wallet. You are solely responsible for:

• maintaining custody of your private keys and seed phrases;

• all activities that occur through your Wallet.

We do not store your private keys and cannot recover them.

1. violate any law, regulation, or sanctions program applicable to you or the Services;
2. infringe intellectual property or other rights;
3. use the Services to transmit malware, spyware, or harmful code;
4. attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, accounts, or data;

6.1 Informational Interface Only

The Services may display governance discussions and outcomes, but governance may occur across multiple tools (for example: forums, Discord, snapshot voting, and/or on-chain voting). We do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any representation of governance state.

6.2 No Fiduciary Duties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, no contributor, delegate, working group participant, multisig signer, or tokenholder owes fiduciary duties to you solely by participating in DAO governance discussions or votes.

6.3 No Guarantee of Execution

Proposals may not be implemented, and implementation may differ from descriptions due to technical, legal, safety, budgetary, or community considerations.

7) Tokens, Digital Assets, and Risk Disclosures

If the Services reference tokens or other digital assets, you acknowledge the following:

• High risk: digital assets are volatile; you could lose all value.
• No guarantees: there is no guarantee of liquidity, listing, or value.
• Technology risk: smart contracts can fail; exploits may occur; chains can reorganize; fees can spike.
• Regulatory risk: laws and enforcement may change, affecting use, transfer, or value.
• Tax risk: tax treatment is uncertain and varies by jurisdiction.

Nothing on the Services is an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy securities or other regulated products, where prohibited or without proper authorization.
