6.1 Disclaimers

• No control over the Protocol. We do not control activity or data on the Protocol, nor do we take possession, custody, or control of digital assets on the Protocol. We make no representations or warranties with respect to the Protocol.
• “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”. The Services (including Documentation) and the Protocol are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, AGGX and its affiliates, service providers, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively, “AGGX Persons”) disclaim all warranties (express, implied, or statutory), including warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, workmanship, and error-free operation.
• No professional advice. Nothing in the Services constitutes financial, legal, or other professional advice. Seek professional counsel where appropriate.

6.2 Limitations of Liability

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL AGGX PERSONS BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING SUBSTITUTE GOODS/SERVICES, LOSS OF USE, DATA, PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. AGGX PERSONS’ TOTAL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES FINALLY AWARDED WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID AGGX PERSONS, IF ANY, IN THE PAST SIX (6) MONTHS FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

6.3 Acknowledgement; Assumption of Risks

• You represent that you understand blockchain technologies and the risks of using digital assets, including loss of private keys, hacking, unfavorable regulations, taxation risks, uninsured losses, volatility, and other unanticipated risks.
• Smart contracts are autonomous; transactions recorded on public blockchains are irreversible. You are responsible for ensuring transaction details are accurate and complete.
• Public blockchains may be unavailable, erroneous, or suffer attacks. Protocols may change via forks or governance. You are responsible for staying informed.

6.4 Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AGGX Persons from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms or any law; (b) your violation of third-party rights; (c) your misuse of the Services; or (d) your negligence or willful misconduct. AGGX may control the defense or settlement of any claim subject to indemnification.

6.5 Third-Party Beneficiaries

You and AGGX acknowledge and agree that AGGX Persons (other than AGGX) are third-party beneficiaries of Sections 6 and 7.

7. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

7.1 Please Read Carefully

This section may significantly affect your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court and to have a jury decide your claims. It contains procedures for mandatory binding arbitration and a class action waiver.

7.2 Informal Resolution First

Before initiating arbitration, the parties shall first make good-faith efforts to resolve disputes informally. The receiving party will have thirty (30) days to respond.

7.3 Arbitration Agreement; Class Waiver

Any dispute, controversy, or claim (“Claim”) relating to the Services or any usage of the Protocol will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, in English, by a single arbitrator. Judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration is on an individual basis only; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.

7.4 Batch Arbitration

If 100 or more substantially similar Claims are filed within a 30-day period by or with the same counsel, JAMS shall (1) administer the demands in batches of 100 Claims (plus a final batch of remaining Claims), (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch, and (3) resolve each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing/administrative fees per side per batch. A standing administrative arbitrator may decide applicability. This does not authorize class or mass arbitration beyond what is expressly stated herein.

7.5 Exceptions

• Claims within small-claims jurisdiction, brought individually;
• Claims seeking solely injunctive relief (including public injunctive relief);
• Intellectual property disputes.

7.6 Costs

Filing, administration, and arbitrator fees are governed by the JAMS Rules. If you demonstrate arbitration costs would be prohibitively expensive compared to court, AGGX will pay amounts necessary to prevent that outcome, subject to reimbursement if the arbitrator deems your Claim frivolous or for an improper purpose.

7.7 Opt-Out

You may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to AGGX within thirty (30) days of first registering to use the Services or first agreeing to these Terms. If you opt out of arbitration but not the class waiver, the class waiver still applies. You cannot opt out of the class waiver only.

7.8 Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, proceedings must be brought in the parties’ individual capacities and not as part of any class, consolidated, or representative action. If this waiver is limited or deemed unenforceable, the agreement to arbitrate is null and void for such proceeding, which must be brought in court.

8. Additional Provisions

8.1 Updating These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time, updating the “Last Revised” date. If changes are material, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (e.g., by email or a prominent notice on the Website). The updated Terms become effective upon posting (or a later date specified). Your continued use after effectiveness constitutes acceptance. No amendment applies to a dispute already in arbitration.

8.2 Suspension; Termination

If you breach these Terms, all licenses terminate automatically. We may suspend or terminate access, with or without notice, for any reason, including prohibited activities, false information, policy violations, or legal/regulatory requirements. Provisions that by nature should survive termination do so.

8.3 Injunctive Relief

A breach may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages are inadequate. AGGX is entitled to equitable relief without bond or proof of damages, in addition to other remedies.

8.4 Force Majeure

We are not liable for failure or delay due to events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, civil unrest, government action, labor disturbances, internet/power failures, epidemics, and similar events.

8.5 Miscellaneous

• Severability. If any provision is unlawful or unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.
• Assignment. AGGX may assign these Terms; you may not assign without our prior written consent.
• No Waiver. No waiver of any breach constitutes a waiver of any other breach.
• Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
• Governing Law; Venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, without regard to conflicts of law. Subject to Section 7, the proper venue for disputes will be the courts located in Singapore.
• Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and AGGX regarding the Services.
