Terms of service

1. Acceptance and scope

These terms are an agreement between you and the operator of Jibe (“Jibe”, “we”, “us”). They govern your access to and use of the websites at jibe.trade, together with our application programming interfaces, documentation, smart contracts, offchain execution services, and every related tool (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing the Service, connecting a wallet, launching or configuring a token through it, staking, voting, submitting transactions to its contracts directly or through a third-party interface, or calling its APIs, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Smart contracts deployed by Jibe continue to operate independently of any website. These terms apply to your use of those contracts however you reach them. Where these terms and any statement elsewhere on the site conflict, these terms prevail.

2. Eligibility and your representations

By using the Service you represent and warrant, each time you use it, that all of the following are true:

• you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract;
• your use of the Service, of the launch venues and perpetual-futures venues it relies on, and of leveraged derivatives generally is lawful in every jurisdiction that applies to you, and you have satisfied yourself of this independently. Leveraged derivatives are restricted or prohibited for retail users in many jurisdictions;
• you are not a Restricted Person as defined in the next section, and you are not using a VPN, proxy, relay, or any other means to disguise your location or identity;
• you are not subject to sanctions administered by the United Nations, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or any other applicable authority, you are not owned or controlled by such a person, and you are not acting on behalf of one;
• you are not using the Service to launder money, evade sanctions or taxes, finance terrorism, manipulate a market, defraud anyone, or commit any other unlawful act;
• you are acting for your own account and understand exactly what the Service does with the funds and configuration you give it; and
• if you act for an organization, you have authority to bind it to these terms.

We do not verify identity, residence, or eligibility, and we are under no obligation to do so. The fact that the Service is technically reachable from where you are is not a representation that it is lawful for you to use. Determining that is your responsibility alone, and you bear the consequences of getting it wrong.

3. Restricted jurisdictions

The Service is not offered to, and must not be used by, any person or entity that resides in, is a citizen of, is located in, is incorporated in, or has a registered office or principal place of business in a Restricted Jurisdiction, or that is owned, controlled, or directed from one (each a “Restricted Person”). Nothing on this site is directed at a Restricted Person, and no content here is an invitation or inducement to anyone in a Restricted Jurisdiction to launch, buy, sell, or hold any token, deposit any asset, or engage in any other activity.

The Restricted Jurisdictions are:

• the United States of America, including its territories and possessions, and any United States person;
• the United Kingdom;
• Canada;
• any country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by the United Nations, the United States, the United Kingdom, or the European Union, including at the date of these terms Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Myanmar, and the Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine; and
• any other jurisdiction where using the Service, dealing in the assets involved, or accessing leveraged perpetual futures would be unlawful or would require a licence, registration, or authorisation that has not been obtained.

We may add to this list at any time, effective when published here. We may also restrict, suspend, or block access from any location, by any technical means, at any time and without notice, whether or not it is listed here. Attempting to circumvent any such restriction is a breach of these terms.

If you are a Restricted Person, stop using the Service now. Any use of the Service by a Restricted Person is in breach of these terms and entirely at that person’s own risk. The third-party launch and trading venues the Service relies on apply their own restrictions, which may be broader than ours and may change without notice to us.

4. What Jibe is

Jibe is a software platform that lets a token creator route a share of the token’s trading taxes into an automated perpetual-futures strategy, and that routes any profit from that strategy back into buybacks of the token or dividends to its holders. In outline:

• A creator launches a token on BNB Smart Chain through Flap, a third-party launch venue. The token’s trading taxes, and where applicable the split between strategy capital, direct holder dividends, burn, and liquidity, are configured at launch and recorded onchain.
• The share of tax revenue assigned to the strategy flows to a strategy vault created for that token, is converted into USDT, and is split between the protocol treasury and the token’s strategy capital.
• An automated execution service we operate (the “keeper”) moves strategy capital into a venue account for that token and opens, adjusts, and closes leveraged perpetual positions on Aster in the markets the token’s strategy selects.
• Profit the keeper withdraws is settled back through the vault’s router and, according to the split chosen at launch, spent on buying the token and sending it to a burn address or converted into the selected dividend asset and deposited into the token’s dividend contract.
• Depending on the control mode chosen at launch, the strategy is managed by Jibe (Fixed), by a manager the creator appoints (Delegated), or by tokenholders who stake the token to propose and vote on changes (DAO).

Jibe does not sell you a token, an investment product, a security, a derivative, a managed account, a deposit, or a share in any pool. It is a tool that executes a strategy a creator or governance body configures, using taxes the token itself generates. The Service does not guarantee that any transaction will be accepted, executed, settled, or remain available, and a reference to a token, market, asset, issuer, or third party is not an endorsement or a guarantee of legitimacy or performance.

5. Wallets and transactions

You interact with the Service through a wallet you control. You are solely responsible for that wallet, its private keys and seed phrase, your devices, and every transaction you sign. We never hold your private keys, cannot reverse, cancel, or recover a transaction you authorize, and will never ask for your seed phrase.

Blockchain transactions are public and irreversible. Before signing you must verify the network, contract address, token, recipient, amount, approvals, slippage, fees, and every other detail. A displayed estimate, quote, simulation, or preview may differ from final execution. You are responsible for revoking approvals you no longer need and for protecting yourself against phishing, impersonation, malicious contracts, and compromised interfaces.

6. Launching a token

When you launch a token you choose its name, symbol, imagery, description and links, its trading pair, its buy and sell taxes and how they are split, its first perpetual strategy, its control mode, its profit split between buybacks and dividends, and its dividend asset. Most of these settings are written into immutable onchain configuration by the launch venue and cannot be changed afterwards by you or by us. Review everything before you sign.

A launch is a one-way action. Once complete, the token’s taxes flow as configured for as long as the token trades. You cannot reclaim tax revenue that has entered the vault, redirect it to another recipient, reverse a buyback, or unwind a position by request. Do not launch a token whose revenue is owed to, promised to, or shared with anyone else, and do not launch a token you do not intend to stand behind.

An optional creator purchase at launch is executed by the launch venue’s bonding curve at whatever price the curve gives. Estimates shown in the interface are computed from reviewed curve parameters and may be unavailable or wrong; the venue, not the estimate, determines what you receive. Launch fees, whether ours or the venue’s, are paid at launch and are non-refundable, including if the launch fails to complete or the token later fails.

7. Trading taxes and protocol fees

Jibe is funded by a protocol share of each launched token’s distributable trading tax (currently 25 percent, shown in the launch interface) and a fee to submit a governance proposal in DAO mode. Jibe currently charges no launch fee of its own; the launch venue charges its own fee. The protocol tax rate that applies to a token is recorded for that token at launch; we may change the rate, the fees, and the fee model for future launches at any time, effective when published in the interface or in these terms. Continuing to use the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of it for anything you launch afterwards.

Protocol revenue is the protocol’s. It is held in a treasury we control, is divided at our discretion between protocol buybacks and operations, and may be moved between chains through third-party bridges. Neither a creator nor a tokenholder has any claim to it, and a protocol buyback is not an entitlement of any token.

Our fees are separate from and additional to network gas, the launch venue’s own fees, decentralized-exchange swap fees and price impact, the perpetual venue’s trading fees, funding payments, and withdrawal fees, all of which are borne by the deployed capital or by you. All fees are non-refundable in all circumstances, including where a position is liquidated, a strategy performs poorly, a venue fails, or the Service is suspended or discontinued.

8. Perpetual strategies

A strategy is a set of instructions: which markets, which direction, what share of strategy capital, and what leverage, within limits we set. It is not a promise that a matching position exists at any moment. The keeper decides when and how to act on the instructions, including order timing, sizing, order type, price, how much capital to leave as free margin, when to take profit, when to withdraw, and what portion of a withdrawal is principal. Those decisions directly affect strategy performance and are made without reference to you.

Perpetual contracts are complex, leveraged products. A position can be liquidated in full, in seconds, from an adverse move that is small relative to the leverage used. Funding payments can erode collateral even when price does not move against the position. The venue sets and changes leverage caps, margin requirements, minimum and maximum order sizes, tick and lot sizes, and fee schedules; it may delist a market, halt trading, auto-deleverage positions, or socialize losses under its own rules. A strategy that references a market the venue no longer offers will not be executed as configured.

Strategy capital can be partially or completely lost. Displayed figures, including open profit and loss, equity, lifetime profit, liquidation prices, and funding, are derived from venue and chain data that may be delayed, incomplete, or wrong. Past, simulated, estimated, or displayed performance does not predict future results. No strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, remain within its configured leverage, avoid liquidation, or return funds to anyone.

9. Custody of strategy capital

This section is important. Read it carefully. It describes who controls the money once it leaves the token’s trading venue, and it differs between chains.

Nobody has a redemption right. Strategy capital, venue balances, open positions, and settled but unspent profit are not yours, not the creator’s, and not the tokenholders’ in any legal or beneficial sense. They are protocol-controlled funds that the automated system deploys according to the token’s configuration. No standard function of the Service lets a creator, a holder, a delegated manager, a DAO, or a keeper withdraw strategy capital to a wallet of their choosing. They are not segregated client property, are not held on trust, are not insured, and are not protected by any deposit-protection or investor-compensation scheme.

BNB Smart Chain (Aster). Aster is an account-based venue. Each token’s venue balance is held in an externally owned account whose private key is derived from and held by the keeper we operate. Deposits to that account go through the token’s custody contract, but withdrawals from Aster are authorized by an offchain signature from the operator-held key and land in that operator-held account before the custody contract can collect them. You are therefore trusting Jibe, its key-management setup, its hosting infrastructure, and Aster with every asset deployed by a BNB Smart Chain strategy. Any compromise, loss, corruption, or destruction of that key material, any failure of our systems to sign, and any action by Aster affecting the account may result in the permanent and total loss of the assets in it, and we may be unable to recover them. Aster may also freeze, restrict, or reject an account or its withdrawals under its own terms, including for reasons connected to where our systems connect from.

Administrative powers. Jibe’s configuration owner, Guardian, gateway owner, and upgrade authority can change operating settings, pause execution, replace the keeper, cancel orders, recover venue credentials, record losses, and upgrade the implementation of the Service’s upgradeable contracts, including the vaults, routers, custody contracts, and adapters that hold or route strategy capital. We intend to use these powers to operate and secure the Service, but you acknowledge they exist and that their use, misuse, or compromise can affect funds.

Legal process. We may be required by law or legal process to freeze, disclose, or surrender assets or information, and we may comply without notice to you.

If you are not willing to accept these facts in full, do not launch a token through the Service, and do not buy a token because of the strategy attached to it.

10. Buybacks, dividends, and burns

Buybacks and burns are mechanical operations performed with funds the token itself generated. “Burn” means transferring tokens to the 0x…dEaD address; it does not call a burn function and does not prove that reported supply decreased. Burning tokens does not make a token go up, and no buyback is a promise of value.

The Service distinguishes several mechanisms that share the word “dividend”: direct trading-tax dividends configured at launch and paid by the launch venue’s own dividend system; strategy-profit dividends, where the keeper converts profit into the dividend asset chosen at launch and deposits it into the token’s dividend contract; and, for tokens whose trading pair references a stock or fund, any treatment of a corporate dividend by that asset’s third-party issuer. These are separate. None is guaranteed. Eligibility and amount depend on the venue’s contract rules, snapshots, minimum balances, exclusions, claim mechanics, available profit, successful conversion into the dividend asset, and applicable law.

A dividend asset other than the token’s quote asset requires a swap route on the launch venue at the time of each distribution. We review the routes available when a launch is configured; a route may later become unavailable, illiquid, or unfavourable, in which case distributions may be delayed, executed at poor prices, or not executed. A dividend, buyback, burn, reward, or other distribution is not a return on an investment, is not yield, and does not create any entitlement.

11. Governance modes and staking

The control mode chosen at launch decides who may change the token’s strategy: in Fixed mode, Jibe’s configuration owner or Guardian; in Delegated mode, the master the creator names and any delegates the master appoints; in DAO mode, tokenholders who stake the token, subject to the proposal fee, minimum stake, quorum, approval, voting-period, and cooldown rules recorded for the token. In every mode the controller can change only what the strategy trades, not where funds go.

Staking in DAO mode creates non-transferable voting weight. It does not pay yield, does not give any claim on strategy capital or protocol revenue, and can be undone by unstaking at any time. Proposals are executed only when someone submits the execution transaction, and the keeper acts on the resulting configuration on its own schedule. A delegated manager acts for the token’s community, not for Jibe; we do not supervise, vet, or vouch for managers, proposers, or voters, and we are not responsible for the strategy choices any of them make. The configuration owner or Guardian can replace a master or remove delegates where we consider it necessary, without liability.

12. Tokenized stocks and referenced assets

Some trading pairs offered at launch, some perpetual markets, and some dividend assets reference stocks, funds, commodities, or other real-world assets. Those tokens and markets are issued, backed, priced, and administered by third parties, not by us, and their availability on the Service depends on the launch venue and the perpetual venue, not on the issuer.

A token that references a stock does not make you a shareholder of the referenced company and does not give you voting, inspection, redemption, brokerage, or ownership rights in the underlying stock, unless binding terms for that specific product expressly say so.

A tokenized asset may trade at a premium or discount to its reference, may trade while the underlying market is closed, may be suspended while it is open, may not be fully backed or redeemable, and may treat corporate actions differently from the underlying. Its holder rights, if any, are governed by the issuer’s terms. Tokenized assets are regulated differently across jurisdictions and are unavailable to persons in many of them; you are responsible for confirming that you may acquire, hold, or trade a particular asset before selecting a pair, market, or dividend asset that references it.

13. Campaigns and competitions

We may run campaigns in which tokens launched through the Service compete on metrics such as trading volume, and in which prizes are paid to deployers, holders, or both from a prize pool and from protocol revenue we choose to allocate. A campaign’s rules, dates, metrics, prize amounts, and payout mechanics are those published on the campaign page for the relevant chain at the time; we may change, pause, extend, or cancel a campaign at any time.

Prizes are paid after a review at our discretion. We may disqualify any token, deployer, or holder we believe has engaged in wash trading, self-dealing volume, Sybil activity, exploitation of a defect, or any other conduct that undermines the campaign, and our determination is final. Prizes are not available where they would be unlawful, are not available to Restricted Persons, may be paid in tokens or stablecoins whose value fluctuates, and are your responsibility for tax purposes. Participation does not create any entitlement to a prize.

14. Developer API and third-party interfaces

We publish APIs and contract interfaces that let third parties read Service data and prepare or submit launches. Your use of them is subject to these terms, to any published rate limits and usage rules, and to any additional terms we publish for the API. You are responsible for anything built with them and for the compliance of anyone who uses what you build, including keeping Restricted Persons out. We may change, throttle, or withdraw any API at any time, and data served through it is provided on the same basis as the rest of the Service, with no warranty of accuracy or completeness.

15. Third-party protocols and services

The Service depends entirely on third parties we neither control nor endorse, including BNB Smart Chain and its validators and RPC providers; the Flap launch venue and its bonding curves, tax and dividend contracts, and swap routers; the Aster perpetual venue and its matching engine, oracles, and withdrawal systems; decentralized exchanges and pools; USDT and other stablecoin issuers; cross-chain bridges we use to move protocol revenue; token issuers for tokenized assets; wallet software; price and market-data providers such as Dexscreener; and hosting, database, and messaging providers.

Your use of a third-party service is governed by its terms, not ours, and those terms may restrict who may use it. We are not responsible or liable for any act, omission, outage, bug, exploit, halt, delisting, insolvency, hack, seizure, censorship, policy change, fee change, or terms change of any third party, or for any loss arising from one. If a third party becomes unavailable, restricts access, changes its rules, or ceases to operate, the Service may break in whole or in part, funds in transit may be stranded or lost, and we may be unable to recover them.

16. Automated execution

The Service executes automatically, without human review of individual actions and without any obligation on us to monitor, intervene, override, halt, or optimize on your behalf. We do not promise any level of uptime, latency, execution quality, fill price, or reaction speed.

Automated systems fail. Among many other things, the keeper may fail to claim or convert tax revenue, fail to open or close a position, open or close one at an unfavourable price, execute a duplicate or partial action, fail to top up margin in time, fail to withdraw, misclassify a withdrawal as principal or profit, fail to run a buyback or dividend, or act on stale, delayed, or incorrect market, oracle, or account data. Described behaviours, including leverage targets, profit-taking thresholds, margin guards, and reconciliation, are design intentions, not guarantees. They may not function as described, may not function at all, and may be changed or removed without notice. In fast, gapping, illiquid, or halted markets, protective logic routinely fails to prevent loss.

17. No advice, no relationship of trust

Nothing produced by the Service, including the interface, the documentation, strategy descriptions, market lists, estimates, historical figures, charts, analytics, leaderboards, or any communication in any channel, is financial, investment, trading, legal, tax, or accounting advice, a recommendation, a solicitation, or an offer.

We are not your broker, dealer, exchange, investment adviser, portfolio manager, fund manager, custodian, fiduciary, agent, or trustee, and no such relationship is created by these terms or by your use of the Service. We owe you no duty of care, no duty of loyalty, and no duty of best execution. You alone decide whether to launch, which settings to choose, whether to buy, hold, stake, or sell any token, and when to stop.

18. No offering, no promise of value

Jibe does not create, issue, offer, sell, underwrite, promote, or market any token, security, derivative, or investment product, and does not invite anyone to buy any token. Tokens launched through the Service are created by their deployers on third-party venues. Any token you launch is yours; you are solely responsible for it, for how you describe it, and for anything you say to its holders.

You must not represent to anyone that the Service or any strategy guarantees returns, protects against loss, ensures price appreciation, pays yield, or constitutes an investment programme, and you must not market a token launched through the Service to Restricted Persons or in a manner that would be an unlawful offering or promotion anywhere. Doing so may expose you to serious legal liability, which is yours alone.

19. Your token and your content

You are solely responsible for any token you launch, including its name, symbol, imagery, description, links, associated social accounts, and every statement made about it by you or anyone acting for you. You represent that your content does not infringe any intellectual-property right, does not impersonate any person, company, brand, or asset, is not defamatory, obscene, hateful, or unlawful, and does not constitute an unregistered offering of securities or an unlawful promotion in any jurisdiction.

We may refuse, delist, hide, label, suspend, or remove any token or content from our interfaces, indexes, and APIs at any time, for any reason or no reason, without notice and without liability. Removal from our interface does not change any onchain state, and a token’s strategy may continue to execute after it is hidden.

20. Prohibited conduct

You must not:

• interfere with, disrupt, overload, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, its infrastructure, APIs, databases, keeper, or key material;
• circumvent rate limits, authentication, access controls, or geographic or eligibility restrictions, including by VPN or proxy;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract secrets, credentials, or key material;
• use bots, scrapers, or automation in a way that degrades the Service for others;
• exploit a bug, error, or misconfiguration for gain, including by manipulating accounting, fee splits, settlement classification, governance, or idempotency controls. You must report any such defect to us promptly and keep it confidential until it is fixed;
• manipulate any market, wash trade, spoof, or create artificial volume, including to influence a campaign;
• launch or promote a token that impersonates a person, brand, or asset, or that is designed to defraud;
• use the Service in connection with proceeds of crime or on behalf of a sanctioned or Restricted Person; or
• violate any law, regulation, court order, or third-party right.

We may suspend or terminate your access to our interfaces and APIs immediately, without notice, for any actual or suspected breach, and may retain and disclose relevant information to law enforcement. Such action may not be able to stop direct interaction with independently operating smart contracts.

21. Risk disclosure and assumption of risk

You acknowledge that you understand and voluntarily assume all of the following risks, and that this list is illustrative rather than exhaustive:

• Total loss. Everything deployed through a strategy can be lost. Leveraged positions can be liquidated in full, in seconds.
• Leverage. Leverage multiplies losses as well as gains; a small adverse move can eliminate a position’s entire collateral.
• Volatility and illiquidity. Newly launched tokens are extremely volatile, frequently illiquid, and often go to zero. A buyback may execute at a poor price or move the market against itself.
• Funding and fees. Funding payments and venue fees can erode or exhaust collateral even when price does not move against a position.
• Operator key risk. On BNB Smart Chain the venue balance is controlled by a key we hold. Compromise of our key material, hosting, or database may result in the total loss of every asset in the affected accounts.
• Smart-contract risk. Our contracts and those of every venue we use may contain bugs, may be exploited, and may be upgraded. Audits, tests, and simulations cannot guarantee safety.
• Administrative risk. Authorized roles can pause components, change configuration, replace implementations, replace the keeper, and otherwise affect protocol behaviour and funds.
• Keeper and infrastructure risk. Outages of hosting, databases, RPC endpoints, or venue APIs may prevent the keeper from acting when action matters most, or cause it to act on stale data.
• Venue and counterparty risk. A perpetual venue, launch venue, or bridge may become insolvent, be hacked, freeze withdrawals, delist a market, socialize losses, auto-deleverage a position, change its rules, restrict our access, or cease operating.
• Oracle and data risk. Prices, account data, liquidation estimates, profit figures, and website information may be delayed, incomplete, manipulated, or wrong.
• Network risk. Blockchains may reorganize, halt, fork, congest, or change fees. Cross-chain transfers may fail or be exploited.
• Stablecoin risk. USDT or any other settlement asset may depeg, lose liquidity, be frozen, or become non-redeemable.
• Tokenized-asset risk. A token that references a stock or other asset may not be backed, redeemable, transferable, or legally recognized as an interest in that asset.
• Distribution risk. Expected buybacks, dividends, rewards, or prizes may be reduced, delayed, converted at poor prices, made ineligible, or not paid.
• Governance risk. A delegated manager or a DAO majority may set a strategy you disagree with, including one that loses the strategy’s capital.
• Regulatory risk. Laws and enforcement postures change. The Service, the venues, or the assets involved may be restricted, prohibited, or seized, potentially without notice and potentially retroactively.
• Discontinuation. The Service may stop operating at any time, permanently, with positions open, capital deployed, or assets in transit.

You accept full responsibility for these risks and agree that you will not seek to hold us responsible for any of them. Use only assets you can afford to lose.

22. Availability, changes, and termination

The Service is provided on an as-available basis. We may modify, suspend, throttle, restrict, or discontinue any part of it, including the keeper, the interfaces, the APIs, supported chains, venues, markets, quote assets, dividend assets, and support for any individual token, at any time, for any reason, without notice and without liability to you. We may terminate or restrict your access at any time, for any reason or no reason.

Discontinuation may leave positions open, capital deployed, or assets in transit. Where we wind down a strategy we intend to settle its capital back through its router in the ordinary course, but we do not undertake to unwind, return, preserve, or account for anything, and we are not liable for the state in which a discontinued strategy is left. Provisions that by their nature should survive, including fees already incurred, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law, survive termination.

23. Intellectual property

The Jibe name, marks, interface, design, documentation, and original content are owned by us or our licensors. Subject to these terms, you are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the interfaces and APIs for their intended purpose. All other rights are reserved. Open- source components remain subject to their own licences. These terms do not permit use of Jibe names or logos in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation.

You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to display, index, and use the name, symbol, imagery, description, and links of any token you launch, for the purpose of operating and promoting the Service.

24. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, with all faults and without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We specifically disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement, and any warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, accurate, complete, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any defect will be corrected.

No advice or information, oral or written, obtained from us or through the Service creates any warranty not expressly stated in these terms. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

25. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Jibe and its operators, contributors, developers, contractors, service providers, and affiliates will not be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, tokens, digital assets, data, goodwill, opportunity, or anticipated savings, however caused and on any theory of liability, whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

This applies to losses caused by trading, liquidation, market movement, keeper action or inaction, key compromise, smart contracts, upgrades, security incidents, third-party venues, bridges, issuers, networks, wallets, data, regulation, unavailable access, or unauthorized use, regardless of the theory of liability.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the protocol tax and fees actually received by us from tokens you launched in the three months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) US$100. These limitations apply to all claims of every kind, apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose, and reflect an allocation of risk that is an essential basis of the bargain between us. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

26. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Jibe and its operators, contributors, developers, contractors, service providers, and affiliates from and against any claim, demand, action, investigation, loss, liability, damage, penalty, cost, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, any token you launch or manage, your content or statements, your participation in governance or a campaign, your breach of these terms or of any law, your violation of any third party’s rights, or your tax obligations. We may assume exclusive control of the defence of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate with us.

27. Taxes

You are solely responsible for determining, reporting, and paying any tax arising from your use of the Service, including in respect of tokens you launch or hold, trading taxes, buybacks, burns, dividends, rewards, prizes, staking, and any gain or loss. We do not provide tax advice, do not withhold tax, and do not issue tax documentation or a complete transaction record. Onchain activity is public and permanent, and may be visible to tax and law-enforcement authorities.

28. Dispute resolution, arbitration, and class action waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

Informal resolution first. Before commencing any proceeding, you agree to contact us through the official channel identified below and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Binding arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these terms, including their formation, validity, breach, or termination, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, seated in Singapore, conducted in English, and, where practicable, on the basis of written submissions only. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding, and judgment on it may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may seek interim or injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or prevent unauthorized access pending arbitration.

Class action and jury waiver. You and we each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. You and we each waive any right to a trial by jury.

Time limit. Any claim must be commenced within 12 months after it arises, or it is permanently barred, to the extent permitted by law.

If this section is found unenforceable in whole or in part, the remainder continues to apply, and any claim that cannot be arbitrated will be brought exclusively in the courts identified in the governing-law section.

29. Governing law

These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of Singapore, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the arbitration section, the courts of Singapore have exclusive jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Nothing in these terms deprives you of the benefit of any mandatory consumer-protection right available under the law of your place of residence that cannot be excluded by agreement.

30. Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms at any time by posting an updated version with a new date. Changes take effect when posted unless stated otherwise. It is your responsibility to review this page periodically. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the amended terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Service, noting that a launch already made and the flow of taxes it configured cannot be reversed.

31. General

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions continue in full force.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not assign these terms without our written consent. We may assign or transfer them freely, including in connection with any reorganization or transfer of the Service or its operation to another party.
