1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing the VeraChain website or creating an account, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or the protocol.

2. The service

VeraChain provides a website and a non-custodial DeFi protocol for liquid staking, swaps, yield pools and cross-chain bridging. The protocol runs on public smart contracts that we do not control once deployed.

3. Non-custodial nature

VeraChain never takes custody of your assets. You alone control your private keys and funds. We cannot access, freeze, recover or reverse transactions on your behalf. You are solely responsible for keeping your keys and recovery phrase safe.

4. Accounts

An account on the website is optional and is used for convenience features such as saving preferences. You agree to provide an accurate email address and to keep your password confidential. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.

5. Risk disclosure

Decentralized finance carries significant risk. By using the protocol you acknowledge that:

• The value of digital assets can fall as well as rise, and you may lose capital.
• Smart contracts may contain undiscovered vulnerabilities despite auditing.
• Yield figures are estimates and are not guaranteed.
• You are responsible for understanding the products you use.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the website or protocol for unlawful purposes, to attempt to disrupt or attack the service, or to misrepresent your identity to other users.

7. No financial advice

Nothing on the VeraChain website constitutes financial, investment, legal or tax advice. You should consult a qualified professional before making financial decisions.

8. Limitation of liability

The website and protocol are provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, VeraChain is not liable for any loss arising from use of the service, including loss of funds.

9. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms as the service develops. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the updated terms.
