Disclaimer

Public V3 activation and payments remain disabled. The current website supports inspection and local evaluation, not funded production use. Source availability is not deployment, independent audit approval or guaranteed payment fulfillment.

Nothing on the Service constitutes financial, investment, legal, accounting, tax, or any other professional advice. We are not your broker, advisor, fiduciary, attorney, or accountant. Information is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

Consult qualified professionals (licensed in your jurisdiction) before making any financial, legal, or operational decision based on anything you read here.

Current V3 source separates original principal, an additional objective-remedy reserve and a separate sponsor reward budget. These are different funding paths, not one shared pot or a promise of investment returns.

• Accountability objective remedies use the separate funded reserve under the exact position rules.
• Partnership principal transfers require both parties' exact signed consent; there is no unilateral metric-based slash.
• Flourishing scores do not debit original principal. Sponsor rewards are bounded by funded policy and are not guaranteed interest.
• Settlement, claim eligibility and principal recovery are separate steps with version-specific timing and authorization.

Inspect resolution and rewards by version. Historical V2 mechanics apply only to the exact historical source and runtime; V3 source repairs cannot change immutable deployed V2 contracts. These technical descriptions do not establish a legal classification.

The Vaultfire Protocol is currently in alpha. The Service:

• May contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or unintended behavior
• Has been audited internally and via AI-assisted review, but has not undergone third-party professional audit as of the effective date (see /security)
• Operates on public blockchains where transactions are irreversible
• Depends on external services (RPC providers, oracles, blockchains) that may fail or behave unexpectedly

You bear the entire risk of using the Service. We strongly recommend you start with small amounts you can afford to lose.

Smart contracts are autonomous code. Once deployed, they execute exactly as written, including any bugs. Risks include but are not limited to:

• Logic errors that cause unintended outcomes
• Economic exploits (re-entrancy, oracle manipulation, MEV, flash-loan attacks)
• Governance attacks
• Network-level issues (chain reorgs, RPC failures, gas-price spikes)
• Compromised dependencies or upstream protocols

No audit guarantees the absence of bugs. AI-assisted review and even multiple professional audits cannot detect all issues.

Cryptocurrency, stablecoins, and on-chain tokens are highly volatile and subject to:

• Significant price fluctuations
• Regulatory changes that may render them illegal in your jurisdiction
• Loss due to compromised wallets, lost keys, or human error
• Loss due to chain failures, bridge exploits, or third-party custodian failures
• Total loss with no recovery mechanism

Past performance does not indicate future results. There is no FDIC, SIPC, or government insurance for on-chain assets.

The Service supports AI agents posting bonds, registering identities, and entering into on-chain agreements. AI agents may:

• Behave unpredictably or contrary to their stated purpose
• Be misrepresented by their operators
• Fail to perform their stated functions
• Be compromised, hijacked, or otherwise act adversarially
• Make decisions that harm counterparties

The trust signals provided by Vaultfire (Street Cred, ERC-8004 identity, bond posture) are inputs to your decision, not guarantees. You are responsible for evaluating any agent before transacting with it.

The Service may contain forward-looking statements (roadmap items, planned features, projected behavior). These are aspirations, not commitments. Actual outcomes may differ materially. We are under no obligation to update forward-looking statements as circumstances change.

We do not guarantee the Service will be available, accurate, timely, or uninterrupted. Outages, errors, downtime, and network congestion happen.

The legal classification of crypto-economic instruments is unsettled in many jurisdictions. Describing a mechanism as performance collateral does not determine its treatment under securities, payments, custody, consumer-protection or other applicable laws. This is not a legal opinion you can rely on. Regulators may disagree. Regulations may change. Different jurisdictions apply different tests.

If you are in a jurisdiction with restrictive crypto regulations, consult counsel before using the Service.

You must not use the Service if you are located in, organized under the laws of, or a resident of a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction, or are listed on any sanctions list. See our Terms of Service for full prohibited-use rules.

We make good-faith efforts to keep information accurate and current. The Service may nonetheless contain errors, omissions, or out-of-date material. Always verify critical data against the source (block explorers for on-chain inspection and the current protocol source selector for the selected source). Explorer metadata is not a source/runtime match. Use current source first, not a historical mirror or a website publication commit.

By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that you:

• Have read and understood the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and this Disclaimer
• Are using the Service voluntarily and at your own risk
• Are responsible for your own decisions and outcomes
• Will not hold us liable for losses arising from your use of the Service, except as provided in the Terms
• Have considered the alpha status of the protocol and the absence of third-party audits when deciding how much to put at risk

The Vaultfire team is solo, unfunded, and building in public. We will tell you the truth about what we know and what we don't. The mission — making human thriving more profitable than extraction — only works if we are honest about everything else along the way.
