If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.
You agree to these Terms in their entirety when you:
RESTRICTED PERSONS AND JURISDICTIONS
THE SERVICES WERE NOT DEVELOPED FOR, AND ARE NOT OFFERED TO PERSONS OR ENTITIES WHO RESIDE IN, ARE CITIZENS OF, ARE LOCATED IN, ARE INCORPORATED IN, OR HAVE A REGISTERED OFFICE OR PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY RESTRICTED JURISDICTION OR COUNTRY SUBJECT TO ANY SANCTIONS OR RESTRICTIONS PURSUANT TO ANY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING THE CRIMEA REGION, CUBA, IRAN, NORTH KOREA, SYRIA, RUSSIA, OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY TO WHICH THE UNITED STATES, THE UNITED KINGDOM, THE EUROPEAN UNION OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION EMBARGOES GOODS OR IMPOSES SIMILAR SANCTIONS, OR ANY JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH THE TRANSACTING OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES IS PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED IN ANY FORM OR MANNER (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RESTRICTED JURISDICTIONS” AND EACH A “RESTRICTED JURISDICTION”), OR ANY PERSON OWNED, CONTROLLED, LOCATED IN OR ORGANIZED UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY RESTRICTED JURISDICTION OR AFFILIATED WITH ANY SUCH PERSON, ANY PERSON LISTED ON ANY SANCTIONS LIST MAINTAINED BY THE UNITED STATES, THE UNITED KINGDOM, THE EUROPEAN UNION OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, OR A RESIDENT OF OR LOCATED IN ANY COUNTRY OR JURISDICTION THAT RESTRICTS ACCESS TO OR PROHIBITS USE OF DIGITAL ASSETS OR CRYPTO CURRENCIES (COLLECTIVELY, “RESTRICTED PERSONS”).
THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. IF YOU ARE A RESTRICTED PERSON OR LOCATED IN A RESTRICTED JURISDICTION, THEN DO NOT USE OR ATTEMPT TO USE THE SERVICES. USE OF ANY TECHNOLOGY OR MECHANISM, SUCH AS A VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK, TO CIRCUMVENT OR ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU REPRESENT THAT (I) YOU ARE NOT A RESTRICTED PERSON; AND (II) YOU (INCLUDING, IF APPLICABLE, YOUR INDIVIDUAL OWNERS, REPRESENTATIVES, EMPLOYEES, OR ANY OTHER PERSON WITH ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT) WILL NOT COORDINATE, CONDUCT OR CONTROL (INCLUDING BY, IN SUBSTANCE OR EFFECT, MAKING DECISIONS WITH RESPECT TO) YOUR
USE OF THE SERVICES FROM WITHIN ANY RESTRICTED JURISDICTION.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO MODIFY, DISASSEMBLE, DECOMPILE, ADAPT, ALTER, TRANSLATE, REVERSE ENGINEER OR CREATE DERIVATIVE WORKS OF THE SERVICES TO MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO ANY RESTRICTED PERSON OR IN ANY RESTRICTED JURISDICTION.
NEITHER METADAO NOR OUR AFFILIATES OR SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACTIVITIES THAT YOU ENGAGE IN WHEN USING ANY ONLINE SERVICES OR BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES NOT PROVIDED BY US.
All users must be at least eighteen (18) years old or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. By accessing or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you satisfy this requirement and are otherwise legally capable of entering into a binding agreement with MetaDAO, and that you have all the requisite knowledge and experience to use digital assets and engage with the Services. If you do not meet these standards, you are not permitted to use the Services. Users may be required to provide age-verification documentation upon request, and parents or legal guardians are not permitted to create accounts on behalf of minors. MetaDAO may request additional verification at any time, and providing false or misleading eligibility information may result in immediate account termination.
Users are required to maintain eligibility at all times while using the Services and must promptly notify us of any changes that may affect their eligibility. MetaDAO may conduct periodic eligibility reviews to ensure ongoing compliance.
The Services are intended only for Users who possess sufficient knowledge, experience, and understanding of digital assets, blockchain technology, and the risks associated with their use. By accessing or using the Services, the User represents and warrants that they understand and can evaluate the technical, financial, and legal risks inherent in transacting with or holding Tokens, including, without limitation: the risk of loss of funds or Tokens; the fact that Tokens are not legal tender and are not backed by any government; the absence of investor-compensation or deposit-protection schemes; operational risks associated with blockchain networks or smart contracts, including bugs, forks, vulnerabilities, delays, and outages that may affect the User’s ability to complete transactions; cybersecurity risks such as hacking, malware, denial-of-service attacks, Sybil attacks, or spoofing; and the possibility that information made available through the Services may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or interrupted.
By using the Services, the User confirms that they have the necessary knowledge and understanding to assess these risks and to bear the potential losses arising from their use of digital assets and the Services. Users who do not have sufficient understanding of these risks must not use the Services.
The Platform may allow users (each a “Founder”) to initiate fundraising events by deploying smart contracts (each, a “Launch”). Only a Solana account holder can initiate a Launch. This launchpad functionality enables Founders to programmatically obtain commitments, accept funds, issue Tokens, and create liquidity. When a Founder creates a Launch, they set an initial minimum and maximum funding goal, and the token allocations that will apply to Users who commit to the Launch. The Founder may also require that the User comply with certain performance requirements of the Launch, as described in their initial commitment documentation. Users may commit funds during the fundraising window, but the Founder does not have to accept the full amount committed. Once the Launch’s fundraising period closes, the Founder can select the amount of commitments they want to accept, up to the previously disclosed maximum. When the total commitments exceed the amount accepted by the Founder, this launchpad shall return all excess commitments to those who committed them.
Note to Digital Assets Team: Please review and add any further language you think is necessary to limit regulatory risk.
After the Launch is complete, and the Founder has selected the amount of committed funds to accept, the Platform will programmatically mint and distribute a Token allocation pro-rated based on each User’s accepted commitment. The smart contracts governing the Platform will also programmatically allocate eighty Percent (80%) of the committed funds to the intended project. The Platform will value Tokens on the basis of a 10,000,000 Token issuance. Additionally, the Platform will automatically further mint 2,000,000 additional Tokens to create a liquidity pool, using the remaining twenty percent (20%) of the committed funds, and will issue a further 900,000 Tokens with which the Platform will create an additional single sided liquidity pool. If the Founder has elected to initiate a performance package contract, then additional Tokens will be automatically issued, and those Tokens will be transferred to the Founder’s performance contract.
Each Launch may contain its own restrictions, terms, and unique considerations or requirements of the Founder.
A User must review and understand all terms and considerations/requirements and accept them to engage in a Launch. All actions carried out by the Platform, including refunds, Token minting, treasury transfers, liquidity creation, and performance package allocations, occur automatically, are locked, and cannot be modified by the Founder or User after the Platform has been initiated and the fundraising period has started.
The Tokens issued pursuant to a Launch may be purely speculative in nature. You acknowledge and agree that these Tokens may be highly speculative digital assets that may have limited or no utility, and that they may never possess liquidity or market value. The Tokens do not represent any ownership, equity, profit-sharing, governance rights, or other entitlements from MetaDAO, nor necessarily represent any ownership, equity, profit-sharing, governance rights, or other entitlements from the applicable Founder, the Launch, the fundraising event, or any other entity.
IT IS THE USER’S EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THEIR USE OF THE PLATFORM AND ANY DIGITAL ASSETS COMPLIES WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS IN THEIR JURISDICTION AND ANY JURISDICTION AFFECTED BY THEIR ACTIVITIES.
Users should exercise extreme caution and exercise due diligence when participating in a Launch. Token values may fluctuate significantly, and may be or become worthless, and MetaDAO makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding the present or future value, availability, or tradability of any Launch or any Tokens. MetaDAO does not control any secondary markets for Tokens and does not guarantee that such markets will exist.
Gas fees, network fees, blockchain transaction fees, and charges imposed by third-party service providers may apply and may be unpredictable and not disclosed to you in advance. You specifically acknowledge and accept this risk.
Third-party curation, visibility, or presentation of Launches or Tokens is not an indicator of quality, reliability, or legitimacy. Users are solely responsible for their own investigation and due diligence.
All transactions involving the Services or related Tokens are final and non-refundable. MetaDAO has no ability to modify, reverse, or restore on-chain transactions.
MetaDAO may, at its discretion, but does not undertake to, review or verify information about any applicable project or liquidity pool created by a Founder prior allowing a Launch. However, MetaDAO has no obligation to verify any Founder or project, and any verification performed is limited, good-faith, and based solely on available information. Verification does not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, or due diligence review. MetaDAO is not responsible for errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in Launches, whether by the Founder or by any third parties involved in the project or its review.
All responsibility for assessing the legitimacy and risks associated with unverified Launches lies entirely with the user.
Founders use the Protocol solely as decentralized infrastructure that allows them to provide visibility about their project to other users who may have interest in same. MetaDAO’s role is solely limited to providing technical tools that enable trustless contributions and programmatic token distribution. MetaDAO does not sponsor, endorse, or promote any Launch, whether verified or unverified.
METADAO EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR LEGITIMACY OF ANY STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, OR PROJECTIONS MADE BY ANY FOUNDER. PARTICIPATION IN ANY LAUNCH IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
The Protocol accessible through the Platform is fully decentralized and functions exclusively through on-chain programs deployed on a third-party blockchain (e.g., Solana). The Protocol implements futarchy-based governance mechanisms, meaning all outcomes are determined by market-based models and outcomes rather than by MetaDAO, a Founder or traditional voting systems. MetaDAO cannot control, modify, or influence any Launch outcomes.
Tokens available through interactions with the Services do not provide any ownership interest, profit rights, or governance authority in MetaDAO or in any Launch project. Any utility associated with Tokens arises solely from the Protocol’s smart contracts. Users acknowledge that Tokens on the Services should be treated exclusively as cryptographic assets functioning as described above, and not as investment products, opportunities, or securities of any type.
Your participation in or reliance on any outcomes generated by this decentralized governance model is at your sole risk and responsibility. The Protocol, its developers, and its contributors make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, stability, or results of any market-driven governance decisions, forecasts, or parameter adjustments.
Nothing in your use of the Services shall be construed as financial, legal, or investment advice, and you assume full responsibility for any actions you take in connection with the Protocol.
You agree to comply with all governance integrity protections and operational safeguards described in these Terms.
You acknowledge and agree that Protocol parameters may only be modified through legitimate, established governance mechanisms governed by smart contracts. You shall not, and shall not attempt to:
Users who participate in governance, including market-based decision mechanisms, must act in good faith and in accordance with the Protocol’s published rules and processes. You acknowledge that malicious participation may compromise governance outcomes and that you are solely responsible for any consequences arising from your conduct.
Any governance proposals, parameter-change requests, or related submissions must accurately represent their intended effects, operational implications, and expected outcomes. You agree not to submit proposals that are misleading, incomplete, deceptive, or designed to obscure material impacts to the Protocol or manipulate outcomes.
You acknowledge and agree that legitimate governance decisions, once finalized under the Protocol’s futarchy mechanism, are binding contractual obligations within the scope of the Protocol. Users must honor and comply with such outcomes, regardless of whether they supported or opposed them.
You further acknowledge and agree to the following:
THE PROTOCOL, ITS DEVELOPERS, AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR IMPACTS ARISING OUT OF GOVERNANCE PROCESSES, GOVERNANCE OUTCOMES, OR CHANGES TO PROTOCOL PARAMETERS, WHETHER RESULTING FROM LEGITIMATE GOVERNANCE ACTIVITY OR ATTEMPTED MANIPULATION BY THIRD PARTIES.
Certain features of the Services, including tools that facilitate trading activity or interaction with the Protocol, may be subject to fees, commissions, spreads, or other charges (collectively, “Fees”).
MetaDAO does not charge users for creating a Launch. However, we may earn Fees from trading activity, Token transactions, or other forms of usage on or through the Services.
By accessing or using any feature of the Services that incurs Fees, you acknowledge and agree that MetaDAO has the right to charge your connected wallet, selected payment method, or other authorized mechanism for all applicable Fees, including any gas fees, network charges, and third-party processing fees associated with your activity.
You understand that certain Fees may be unpredictable or difficult to calculate in advance. Transaction costs imposed by blockchain networks, validators, liquidity providers, or other third-party systems may fluctuate significantly and may not be known until a transaction is executed or confirmed on-chain. As a result, MetaDAO may not be able to display or estimate the precise Fee applicable to a given transaction prior to execution, and you acknowledge and accept sole responsibility for all such Fees once incurred.
MetaDAO may introduce new Fees, modify existing Fees, or discontinue Fees at any time in its discretion. Changes will apply prospectively only. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any Fee change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Fees. Certain Fees may be incurred through third-party providers, including blockchain networks, payment processors, wallet providers, exchanges, validators, or routing systems. These Fees are outside MetaDAO’s control and may change without notice. MetaDAO is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, calculation, or cost of third-party Fees.
Unless required by applicable law, MetaDAO does not offer refunds or reimbursements for Fees that have already been incurred, including Fees resulting from failed, reverted, delayed, or partially executed transactions. All Fees are final once incurred.
You are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling any tax obligations that may arise from your use of the Services, including use of any application and any transactions involving digital assets. You acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility to understand what taxes you are required to pay to each applicable taxing authority, to report and pay such taxes to the extent we did not include such due taxes in our invoices to you. You understand that taxing authorities may initiate enforcement actions against you and us for failure to report and pay such taxes, and such enforcement shall be your sole responsibility.
MetaDAO does not provide tax advice and makes no representation as to the tax treatment of any transaction or digital asset activity. It is your responsibility to maintain accurate records as required by applicable law.
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Services, or any portion thereof, and any service or material we provide on or through the Services, in our sole discretion at any time and without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Services is unavailable at any time or for any period.
From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Services or the entire Services in our discretion.
We may disable any username, password, wallet address, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, in our sole discretion at any time for any or no reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms.
All users agree to the following responsibilities:
Users must also adhere to a comprehensive framework of legal and regulatory requirements when engaging with the Services, including but not limited to:
To access the Services or certain resources, you may be required to provide registration details or other information, and you may be required to connect your digital wallet. You represent and warrant that you have lawful authority to connect and use the digital wallet and the funds contained therein. You are solely responsible for all transactions initiated using your wallet and for any actions taken by any person who gains access to your wallet.
You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your login credentials, if any, and of your wallet, or any other breach of security. You should exercise particular caution when accessing your account on a public or shared device to prevent others from viewing or recording your seed phrase, private keys, password, or other sensitive information.
It is a condition of your use of the Services that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete. All information submitted through the Services is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with that policy.
You understand that your content (excluding credit card information) may be transmitted unencrypted, may travel across various networks, may be posted on public blockchains, and may undergo modifications required by technical networking standards.
We are not responsible for securing your seed phrase or private keys if you lose them, if they are stolen, or if they are accessed or compromised by any third party, whether through interception, malware, social engineering, your own disclosure, or security failures in your systems or networks. If someone obtains your seed phrase or keys, they may be able to irreversibly transfer your digital assets outside your control. We do not store or have access to your private keys or seed phrases and cannot assist you in recovering them or any associated digital assets if lost, stolen, or compromised.
Users discovering security vulnerabilities must promptly disclose them through proper channels rather than exploiting them. All security research must be authorized by MetaDAO and conducted within approved sandboxed environments. Users must monitor any deployed contracts and respond promptly to discovered vulnerabilities.
You understand that we do not act as your financial advisor, investment manager, arranger, introducer, or commodity trading advisor, or otherwise interact with, or with respect to any digital assets you use in connection with the Services. As with any activity involving digital assets, it is your responsibility and you are solely responsible for your decisions regarding how, when, and with whom you interact or transact through the Services. It is also your responsibility to ensure you understand digital assets, how they work, what their value is, and the risks involved in using or interacting with smart contracts, as there are significant risks in doing so, all of which you assume.
We may suspend or cancel your use of the Services for any reason, including if we believe you have engaged in or are about to engage in any kind of fraud, if required pursuant to applicable laws, or if you violate these Terms. We may provide you with notice of suspension but do not undertake an obligation to do so.
You agree and understand that all decisions you make on the Services are made solely by you. You agree and understand that under no circumstances will the operation of our Services or your use of them be deemed to create a relationship that includes the provision of or tendering of investment advice. NO FINANCIAL, INVESTMENT, TAX, LEGAL, OR SECURITIES ADVICE IS GIVEN THROUGH OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES. No content found on our Services, whether created by us, our service providers, our business partners, or another user, is or should be considered investment advice. You agree and understand that we accept no responsibility whatsoever for and shall in no circumstances be liable in connection with, your decisions or your use of the Services.
You are solely responsible for any transactions or interactions you initiate on the Services, and for all fees that you may incur as a result of using digital assets. Digital assets are not legal tender, are not backed by any government, and are not covered by investor protection or deposit insurance programs. We are not a bank, and we have no fiduciary duty to you. We do not guarantee profits or returns, and we do not provide compensation for losses. You assume all risks associated with cryptocurrency transactions, your use of the Services and your engagement in any Launch.
Blockchain networks, smart contracts and related infrastructure may experience bugs, errors, delays, vulnerabilities, forks, reorganizations, or outages that can disrupt functionality or prevent access to your digital assets.
Smart contract interactions are irreversible once confirmed, and audits do not guarantee the absence of flaws. Code upgrades or protocol changes may modify expected behavior or introduce new risks. Technical failures, network congestion, or infrastructure outages may delay, fail, or prevent transactions. Cross-chain bridges, oracles, and other third-party components may malfunction or be compromised. We do not guarantee continuous availability of the Services or the underlying networks.
You are solely responsible for securing your private keys, wallets, and credentials. Lost, compromised, or malfunctioning credentials or hardware may result in permanent loss of access to your digital assets. Phishing, social engineering, malware, and other attempts to bypass authentication or compromise accounts present significant risks.
Your digital assets and use of the Services may be subject to theft, expropriation, unauthorized access, or attacks by malicious actors, including malware, denial-of-service attacks, Sybil attacks, spoofing, flash-loan attacks, market manipulation, and other adversarial techniques. Counterparty risk may arise in certain transactions, and failures by third-party service providers may impact your ability to use the Services. We are not liable for failures or actions of third parties.
Protocol governance and operational parameters may change over time. Upgrades, governance decisions, and changes to token economics or system parameters may affect your positions or the operation of the Services. Emergency procedures may be implemented without notice.
Governance attacks or other adversarial actions may compromise protocol integrity.
Regulatory developments may impact the legality, value, taxation, or operation of the Services or digital assets. Compliance obligations and regulatory requirements may change without notice. You are solely responsible for determining and satisfying any tax obligations arising from your activities. No centralized authority provides dispute resolution or legal recourse related to your use of the Services.
Information provided through the Services may not always be accurate, complete, or current. Information may be updated or changed at any time without notice, including information about our policies or the Services. You should independently verify all information before relying on it.
The information presented on or through the Services is made available solely for general information purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information.

MetaDAO shall not be liable for any failure, delay, interruption, or degradation in the performance of the Services that results from circumstances beyond MetaDAO’s reasonable control or ability to anticipate. This force majeure protection applies only to the Services and does not apply to the decentralized Protocol, which operates independently of MetaDAO.
Events that may constitute force majeure include, without limitation:
All information we collect on the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you consent to all actions taken by us with respect to your information in compliance with the Privacy Policy.
We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in the Governing Law and Arbitration subsection below will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Services.
Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
We may terminate your access to and use of the Services at any time, for any reason or no reason, in our sole discretion and without notice, and we will not be liable to you for any resulting suspension or termination. In addition, if we believe or suspect that you have breached or are breaching these Terms, we may take any action we deem appropriate with respect to your access, which may include providing warning notifications for minor infractions, imposing temporary suspensions for repeated or continuing violations, or issuing permanent restrictions in the case of serious or material breaches. All such determinations will be made in our sole discretion, and we reserve the right to terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, at any time.
Issues with Launches are resolved through community governance. Technical disputes are handled by protocol logic. Legal disputes are subject to the applicable jurisdiction.
If you have a dispute with a Founder, or other Users who are part of a Launch, you must resolve such disputes through the futarchy-based voting functionality on the Platform. In that case, you may submit proposals and participate in futarchy-based voting, which engages in market-driven decision making. For complex technical matters where community input is insufficient, the Protocol community may convene a technical review or advisory panel consisting of independent experts. Any conclusions they reach shall be implemented through the decentralized protocol governance to become binding.
Users agree that all Protocol-level disputes must be pursued exclusively through these decentralized methods. When a dispute concerns technical execution, smart contract behavior, or protocol logic, the Protocol’s on-chain programs themselves act as the first and primary arbitrator.
All outcomes produced by the Protocol are contractual obligations binding to all parties, including the User and the Founder, but not to MetaDAO. MetaDAO has no authority or obligation to resolve Protocol-related disputes and cannot modify, alter, reverse, or remediate Protocol outcomes. None of these decisions bind MetaDAO in any way.
If a dispute cannot be resolved through Protocol governance or if the dispute concerns rights or obligations arising under these Terms (rather than Protocol mechanics), the matter shall proceed under the Governing Law and Arbitration subsection below.
All matters relating to the Services and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Cayman Islands without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the Cayman Islands or any other jurisdiction). All such disputes, claims and controversies arising hereunder, including regarding breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof (and including the determination of the scope or applicability of this arbitration provision) shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted in George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, unless the parties agree in writing to another location, and before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees, and the parties shall share equally the arbitrator’s fees and JAMS administrative fees, unless the arbitrator determines otherwise.
THE PARTIES AGREE TO ARBITRATE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND THAT THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT PERMIT CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
∙ Resolution Method: Arbitration is the recommended approach for resolving disputes that cannot be handled through community governance or protocol logic
∙ Arbitrator Selection: Neutral third-party arbitrators with relevant expertise are chosen through a transparent process of agreement by both parties or a disinterested 3rd party
You may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder, or your account used to access the Services, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without MetaDAO’s prior written consent, except as specifically allowed herein, or to a successor to your business by merger, or sale of all or substantially all of your assets or voting securities. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights or obligations without your consent. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors, representatives and permitted assigns of each party hereto.
The Terms (including our Privacy Policy) constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and MetaDAO regarding the Services and the Protocol, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the same.
