# Terms of Service

**Effective Date:** April 27, 2026
**Last Updated:** April 27, 2026

## 1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of theloopbreaker.com, the Vaultfire Protocol, the Vaultfire smart contracts, the Vaultfire APIs, and all related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by the Vaultfire Protocol team ("we," "us," "our").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

## 2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts.

You may not use the Service if you are:

- Located in, organized under the laws of, or a resident of any jurisdiction that is the subject of comprehensive sanctions administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the U.N. Security Council, or any other applicable sanctions authority
- Listed on any U.S. or international sanctions list (including OFAC's SDN list)
- Otherwise prohibited from using the Service under applicable law

## 3. Nature of the Service

The Service may expose separately versioned software, documentation, APIs, and
informational pages. A repository, template, or informational page does not by
itself establish that a contract, route, payment flow, or partner program is
available, deployed, reviewed, or approved.

### Base V3 capped-pilot notice

The proposed V3 pilot is **Base-only** (chain ID 8453), currently
review-only, and not active. It has no deployed V3 addresses, activated routes,
public V3 writes, named or accepted design partner, completed independent human
audit, completed Base Sepolia rehearsal, counsel clearance, mainnet approval,
or x402 settlement evidence. V2 and any other historical materials are not
evidence that V3 is available.

If the V3 pilot is separately activated after all gates are met, its scope is
one capped, explicitly allowlisted design partner—not a public or multi-partner
program. Solana and all cross-chain value flows are excluded from that pilot.
No provision of these Terms authorizes a V3 transaction, payment, enrollment,
or deployment.

We do not custody user private keys. Any available on-chain interaction is made
through the user's self-custodied wallet and carries the relevant network,
contract, and transaction-finality risks.

## 4. Wallet, Keys, and Self-Custody

You are solely responsible for:

- Maintaining the security of your wallet, private keys, seed phrases, and any other authentication credentials
- All activity that occurs under your wallet address
- Verifying transaction details before signing
- Understanding gas costs, network fees, and the irreversibility of blockchain transactions

**We never have access to your private keys and cannot reverse, refund, or modify on-chain transactions.** Lost keys mean lost access. Mistaken transactions cannot be undone by us.

## 5. Bonds Are Performance Collateral, Not Investments

Any separately released bond feature may involve performance collateral rather
than an investment, security, or financial product. **No such V3 feature is
active under these Terms.** For the proposed Base V3 pilot:

- There is no bond-linked reward, flourishing-weighted distribution, protocol,
  treasury, owner, or reward-program share of pilot partnership principal.
- A dispute amount is a **fully refundable filing bond**, not a fee,
  adjudicator payment, slash, penalty, forfeiture, reward contribution, or
  treasury transfer. The filing bond is credited back to the challenger when
  the registry finalizes the dispute, whether upheld or rejected.
- Flourishing measurements are non-slashable and separate from objective-breach
  evidence and pilot bond economics; they cannot authorize confiscation or a
  distribution.
- The precise legal, technical, and economic disclosures for any future V3
  activation remain subject to qualified-counsel review and an approved,
  version-bound release packet.

See our [Disclaimer](/disclaimer) for additional context. None of this is legal or financial advice.

## 6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

- Use the Service to violate any law, regulation, or third-party right
- Use the Service to harass, defraud, defame, threaten, or harm any person or entity
- Attempt to disrupt, attack, reverse-engineer for malicious purposes, or otherwise interfere with the Service
- Use the Service to launder funds, evade sanctions, or finance terrorism
- Submit false dispute claims, manipulate oracle data, or otherwise abuse dispute resolution
- Misrepresent your agent's identity, capabilities, or affiliation
- Use the Service to develop, deploy, or operate AI systems designed to deceive, manipulate, or harm humans
- Scrape, mirror, or reproduce the Service's content beyond what is permitted by applicable copyright law

## 7. Intellectual Property

The Vaultfire Protocol smart contracts and various open-source components are licensed under their respective open-source licenses (typically MIT or Apache-2.0; see the GitHub repository for specifics).

The website content, branding (including the Vaultfire name, KYA, "TheLoopBreaker," logos, and visual identity), copy, documentation, and proprietary materials are © 2026 Vaultfire Protocol. All rights reserved unless otherwise specified.

You retain ownership of any content you submit. By submitting content, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute that content for the purpose of operating the Service.

## 8. Open-Source Software Disclaimer

Portions of the Vaultfire Protocol are open-source. Open-source software is provided "AS IS" under the applicable open-source license, with no warranties of any kind. Use of the open-source components is governed by those licenses, not these Terms.

## 9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION.

Without limiting the foregoing, we make no warranty that:

- The Service will meet your requirements
- The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
- The smart contracts are free of bugs, vulnerabilities, or economic exploits
- Audits (whether AI-assisted, internal, or third-party) are sufficient to detect all issues
- Any information provided is accurate, complete, or up-to-date
- Counterparty AI agents will behave as represented, perform as expected, or honor their bonds

The Vaultfire Protocol is currently in **alpha**. As of the effective date, the smart contracts have undergone AI-assisted internal audits but have not undergone third-party professional audit. See our [Security page](/security) for current audit status.

## 10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall we, our affiliates, contributors, or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the greater of:

- (a) the total amount of fees you have paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or
- (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100)

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

## 11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, contributors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

- Your use of the Service
- Your violation of these Terms
- Your violation of any law, regulation, or third-party right
- Any content you submit or actions you take through your wallet

## 12. Third-Party Services

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party services (including blockchain networks, wallet providers, oracles, indexers, RPC providers, and partner protocols). We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, or practices of any third-party service. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that service's terms.

## 13. Modifications to the Service or Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. We may also revise these Terms from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Service after revisions constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice via the Service or our official channels.

## 14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, without notice, for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

## 15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by **binding arbitration** administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, conducted in Nashville, Tennessee, in English. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

**Class Action Waiver.** You and we agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only. You waive any right to participate in a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding.

**Exception for Injunctive Relief.** Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

If the arbitration agreement is unenforceable for any reason, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee.

## 16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

## 17. Entire Agreement

These Terms (together with the [Privacy Policy](/privacy) and [Disclaimer](/disclaimer)) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements.
