Staking Terms of Service

Introduction

By directly or indirectly accessing or using AGGX’s website and services, including connecting or indirectly linking your digital wallet to any staking-related feature made available through our front-end interface (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these Staking Terms of Service (the “Terms”). These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you (and any organization on whose behalf you access the Services) and AGGX (“AGGX,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

We may amend or modify these Terms at any time. The updated Terms are effective when posted or otherwise made available on our site. By continuing to access or use the Services (including maintaining wallet connections), you agree to the updated Terms. If you do not agree, your sole remedy is to cease using the Services.

IMPORTANT: THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS ON HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED. PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 14 CAREFULLY.

1. Definitions

• Digital Assets – any blockchain-based assets used with the Services, including any AGGX-supported tokens from time to time.
• Digital Wallet – software, device, or key management solution you use to store, sign, and control Digital Assets.
• Rewards – staking, block, or transaction fee rewards granted by a Supported Staking Protocol, if and as actually granted by that protocol.
• Protocol Fees – fees charged by a Supported Staking Protocol.
• Net Rewards – Rewards minus any Protocol Fees (and, where applicable, any Service fee).
• Supported Asset – a Digital Asset that our front-end allows you to stake with a Supported Staking Protocol.
• Supported Staking Protocol – any on-chain staking, delegation, validator, liquid staking, or similar protocol to which the Services provide a user interface from time to time.
• Originating Wallet – the Digital Wallet address from which you stake or that you designate for receiving or claiming any Net Rewards.
• Protocol Restrictions – bonding/unbonding, lock/unlock, claim delays, queueing, slashing, or other restrictions imposed by a Supported Staking Protocol.

3. Protocol Events & Unstaking

Supported Staking Protocols are independent networks that may, at any time and for any reason, change parameters, fork, upgrade, slash, or otherwise affect staking positions or Rewards (each, a “Blockchain Event”). We do not control such events.

• Lockups and queues. Protocols may require bonding/unbonding or impose queue-based delays. You may not be able to transfer or sell staked assets until unstaking completes.
• Unstaking periods. Any displayed or communicated unstaking period is an estimate, may vary by protocol conditions, and may change without notice.
• Rewards during exit. Some protocols do not accrue Rewards during an exit period; others may. This is protocol-dependent.
• Notifications. We may provide UI notifications for convenience, but protocol state is definitive. You should verify on-chain status independently.

5. Eligibility & Acceptable Use

You must be at least 18 years old and not be a prohibited person under applicable sanctions laws. You are responsible for complying with all laws of the jurisdiction from which you access the Services.

• No scraping, reverse engineering, or interfering with the Services or networks.
• No use that violates sanctions, AML/CFT, anti-bribery, or other applicable laws.
• No misuse to defraud or to build a directly competing front-end or service.
• No uploading of malicious code, exploits, or harmful content.

6. Your Representations & Covenants

You represent and warrant, and covenant, among other things, that you (and any entity you represent): (i) have authority to agree to these Terms; (ii) own or control the Supported Assets you stake; (iii) are solely responsible for custody and security of your wallets; (iv) are not on any prohibited lists or located in a sanctioned jurisdiction; (v) will provide accurate information and comply with all applicable laws; (vi) will not cause AGGX to violate sanctions, AML/CFT, or other regulations; and (vii) will not use assets derived from illegal activity.

7. Acknowledgment of Risks

You understand that cryptographic systems and staking involve substantial risks, including but not limited to: loss of private keys, wallet compromise, slashing penalties, validator downtime, chain reorganizations or forks, smart-contract vulnerabilities, oracle failures, network congestion, market volatility, regulatory changes, tax implications, and total loss of value. You assume full responsibility for these risks.

8. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES AND ANY SOFTWARE OR INFORMATION WE PROVIDE ARE OFFERED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AVAILABILITY, OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WITHOUT LIMITATION, WE DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY SLASHING, PENALTIES, VALIDATOR MISBEHAVIOR, OR PROTOCOL-LEVEL LOSSES.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL AGGX OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS; LOST DATA; LOSS OF GOODWILL; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS. IN ALL CASES, AGGX’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO AGGX FOR THE SERVICES IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AGGX and its representatives from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) your violation of law or third-party rights; (iii) your misuse of the Services; or (iv) any content or materials you submit or authorize through the Services. AGGX may control the defense and settlement of any indemnified claim.

11. Intellectual Property

As between you and AGGX, we own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services, our website, and any related software, UI, designs, and content (including all IP rights). Except for the limited license in Section 2, no rights are granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works from the Services, nor use them to build a competing service.

12. Taxes & Records

You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes associated with your staking activities, Rewards, or Net Rewards, and for maintaining your own records. AGGX does not provide tax advice or tax reporting on your behalf.

13. Changes; Suspension; Termination

We may add, modify, or discontinue features at any time; cease supporting a Supported Asset or Supported Staking Protocol; remove content; suspend or terminate access for any reason (including suspected violations of these Terms or law). We are not liable for any loss of value or Net Rewards resulting from such changes or any Blockchain Event. Upon suspension or termination, certain tasks (e.g., unstaking subject to Protocol Restrictions) may remain your responsibility.

14. Governing Law, Arbitration & Class Waiver

15. Miscellaneous

• Severability. If any provision is held invalid, the remainder remains in effect.
• No Waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without AGGX’s prior written consent; AGGX may assign freely.
• Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures due to events beyond reasonable control.
• No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms confer no rights on third parties.
