f(x) Protocol

f(x) Protocol Terms of Use

Effective Date: 05th March, 2026

1. Introduction and Agreement

These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a binding agreement between you ("User" or "you") and the open-source contributors and community members (collectively, "f(x) Protocol," "we," or the "DAO") who maintain the web interface located at www.fx.aladdin.club (the "Interface").

IMPORTANT NOTICE: f(x) Protocol IS A DECENTRALIZED AUTONOMOUS ORGANIZATION (DAO) AND HAS NO LEGAL ENTITY. The Interface provides a graphical means to access the f(x) Protocol Protocol (the "Protocol"), a decentralized system of smart contracts deployed on one or more public blockchain networks supported by the Protocol. By accessing the Interface, you acknowledge and agree that:
  • No Service Provider: The Interface is a public good maintained by community contributors. There is no company, partnership, or central entity providing "services" to you.
  • Non-Custodial: We do not have custody, possession, or control of your assets at any time. You are solely responsible for the safety of your private keys.
  • No Fiduciary Duties: The contributors, developers, governance participants, and token holders associated with f(x) Protocol do not owe you any fiduciary duty. Nothing in the Interface or Protocol creates any relationship of trust, agency, advisory, or fiduciary obligation.
  • Assumption of Risk: You understand the inherent risks of DeFi, including smart contract bugs and market volatility.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE INTERFACE.

2. Eligibility and Prohibited Jurisdictions

By using the Interface, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are at least 18 years old.
  • You are NOT a resident, citizen, or agent of a Prohibited Jurisdiction, including but not limited to: the United States, Canada, Mainland China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Crimea, or any other country under comprehensive sanctions by OFAC, the UN, or the EU.
  • You are not on any sanctions list (e.g., SDNs).

We reserve the right to restrict access to the Interface (via Geoblocking) from any Prohibited Jurisdiction. Use of a virtual private network (VPN) or other tools to circumvent these restrictions is a breach of these Terms.

3. The Interface vs. The Protocol

It is crucial to understand the distinction:

  • The Protocol: A set of immutable smart contracts running on a public blockchain. The DAO cannot "pause" or "reverse" the Protocol once deployed (unless specific governance parameters allow, which are also public).
  • The Interface: The website you are currently viewing. It is merely a visualizer that helps you format transactions. You can interact with the Protocol directly (e.g., via an explorer) without this Interface.

Third-Party Dependencies: The Interface and the Protocol may rely on third-party services or infrastructure, including but not limited to wallet providers, blockchain nodes, indexing services, oracle providers, or other external software. We do not control and are not responsible for the operation, availability, accuracy, or security of such third-party services.

Disclaimer: These Terms apply only to the Interface. We have no control over the Protocol's underlying code execution.

4. Prohibited Activities

You agree not to use the Interface to:

  • Engage in market manipulation (e.g., wash trading, spoofing).
  • Disguise your origin (e.g., using VPNs) to circumvent Geoblocking.
  • Launch cyberattacks (e.g., DDoS, injecting malicious code).
  • Launder money or finance terrorism.

5. Assumption of Risk

By using f(x) Protocol, you assume all risks, including but not limited to:

  • Smart Contract Risk: The Protocol consists of autonomous smart contracts deployed on a public blockchain. Such software may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or design flaws. Interactions with smart contracts may result in the total and irreversible loss of digital assets.
  • No Insurance: Your funds are not insured by the FDIC, SIPC, or any other government agency.
  • Liquidation Risk: If you use leverage, your position may be liquidated automatically by the Protocol. We cannot stop this.
  • Regulatory Risk: Regulators may view the Protocol as an unregistered exchange. This could lead to the Interface being shut down.
  • Oracle Risk: The Protocol relies on oracles for price data. If these malfunction or are manipulated, you may suffer incorrect liquidations.
  • Transaction Irreversibility: Transactions executed on a blockchain are irreversible. Once a transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, it cannot be reversed, cancelled, or modified by the DAO, the Interface, or any contributor.

6. No Financial, Investment, Legal, or Tax Advice

Nothing on the Interface constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. The information and materials available through the Interface are provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as professional advice.

You are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks associated with any use of the Protocol. You should consult your own financial, legal, or tax advisors before engaging in any transaction involving digital assets.

7. No Warranties (AS-IS)

THE INTERFACE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE INTERFACE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DAO, ITS CONTRIBUTORS, VOTERS, OR DEVELOPERS BE LIABLE FOR:

  • ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.
  • LOSS OF FUNDS ARISING FROM SMART CONTRACT VULNERABILITIES, PROTOCOL EXPLOITS, WALLET COMPROMISE, USER ERROR, OR ANY INTERACTION WITH THE PROTOCOL.
  • ANY DAMAGES OR LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE PROTOCOL OR THESE TERMS.

Specific Waiver for DAO Members: You acknowledge that f(x) Protocol is a DAO. You agree not to hold any individual contributor, token holder, or governance participant personally liable for the actions or omissions of the DAO. You waive any right to characterize the DAO as a General Partnership.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the DAO and its contributors from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your use of the Interface, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any laws.

10. Dispute Resolution & Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT LIMITS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

10.1 Binding Arbitration

Any dispute arising out of these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration. Because there is no legal entity to "sue," arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis.

10.2 Class Action Waiver

YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION. You agree that any dispute will be resolved solely between you and the specific contributors you are interacting with, on an individual basis.

11. Modification of Terms

The DAO contributors may modify these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on the Interface. Your continued use of the Interface constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.
