FlipCoin Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of FlipCoin's websites, user interfaces, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Services”), including any smart contracts and protocol components deployed on the Base blockchain that the Services may help you interact with (the “Protocol”).

FlipCoin is a non-custodial, self-directed interface to blockchain-based smart contracts. FlipCoin does not hold your funds, does not control your wallet, and cannot reverse or undo transactions. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that blockchain transactions are generally irreversible, and you accept full responsibility for your use of the Protocol and any connected third-party services.

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and the entity or entities operating the Services (“FlipCoin”, “we”, “us”, “our”). If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services.

1. What FlipCoin Is (and Is Not)

FlipCoin provides a software interface that may display information about markets and may help you prepare and submit transactions (or signed messages) to the Base blockchain and/or to other decentralized systems.

FlipCoin is NOT:

• A bank, broker, custodian, financial advisor, or fiduciary.
• A counterparty to your trades.
• A party that can access your private keys, recover funds, or reverse transactions.
• A guarantor of market outcomes, protocol safety, uptime, or profitability.

FlipCoin does not provide investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Any information shown in the interface (prices, probabilities, charts, volume, “fees”, “P&L”, or market descriptions) is informational and may be incomplete, delayed, incorrect, or derived from third-party or on-chain data.

2. Non-Custodial Wallets and Key Management

To use FlipCoin, you must use a non-custodial wallet. Your wallet provider is a third party. Your relationship with that provider is governed by their terms, not these Terms.

You are solely responsible for:

• Safeguarding private keys, seed phrases, passkeys, and wallet access.
• Verifying transaction details before signing.
• Ensuring the device you use is secure.
• Any losses resulting from compromised credentials, phishing, malware, or mistaken signatures.

FlipCoin cannot:

• Access or store your private keys.
• Undo transactions you sign.
• Restore access if you lose keys.

3. How Transactions Work (On-chain and Off-chain Components)

When you use FlipCoin, you may interact with:

• On-chain smart contracts on Base (e.g., trading, market creation, settlement).
• Off-chain services that help relay signed messages or display indexed data (e.g., transaction relayers, indexing, market data, order routing, API services).

Some operations may be “gasless” for you if you sign structured messages (such as EIP-712 typed data) that a relayer submits on-chain. In those cases:

• You are still the actor authorizing the transaction via signature.
• Relayers are not your agents and do not owe you duties.
• A relayer may refuse, delay, or fail to submit your signed message for any reason.

If FlipCoin (or a third-party relayer) submits transactions, it does so as a technical relay function, not as a custodian or financial intermediary.

4. Eligibility and Compliance

You agree that you will use the Services only if it is legal to do so in your jurisdiction.

You represent and warrant that:

• You are not located in, organized under, or ordinarily resident in any jurisdiction where your access or use would be illegal.
• You are not subject to sanctions or on any sanctions list (including lists maintained by the U.S., U.K., EU, or U.N. authorities).
• You will not use the Services to transact with sanctioned persons or facilitate prohibited activity.

FlipCoin may restrict access to the Services (including at the interface level) where required by law, risk controls, infrastructure constraints, or security reasons. Because the Protocol is decentralized, restricting the interface does not necessarily prevent direct on-chain interaction.

5. Risks You Accept

By using the Services, you acknowledge and accept risks including (without limitation):

You accept full responsibility for assessing these risks and deciding whether the Services are suitable for you.

6. Prohibited Use

You agree not to use the Services in any way that:

• Violates applicable laws or regulations.
• Involves fraud, deception, theft, or unauthorized access.
• Attempts to obtain private keys, seed phrases, authentication tokens, API keys, or other sensitive data of others.
• Introduces malware, exploits, denial-of-service activity, or attempts to disrupt the Services or underlying infrastructure.
• Engages in abusive market behavior where unlawful, including manipulative schemes, wash trading, or deceptive practices.
• Facilitates money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, or other illicit activity.
• Harasses, threatens, or abuses others, or posts unlawful content through any off-chain features (e.g., comments).

FlipCoin may take reasonable actions to investigate suspected violations and may restrict access to the Services where appropriate.

7. User Content (Profiles, Comments, Public Data)

If the Services allow you to post content (e.g., comments, profile text), you remain responsible for that content.

You grant FlipCoin a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute your content solely for operating and improving the Services.

You understand:

• Off-chain content may be deleted upon request where feasible.
• On-chain content cannot be deleted.

FlipCoin may remove or restrict content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

8. Fees and Costs

Using FlipCoin may involve fees, including:

• Protocol fees and creator fees displayed in the interface at the time of the transaction.
• Network fees (“gas”) required by Base or other networks.
• Third-party fees charged by wallets, bridges, or external services.

Fees may change over time pursuant to protocol rules or configuration updates. FlipCoin does not guarantee any specific fee rate or fee stability.

9. No Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND PROTOCOL ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

FlipCoin does not warrant:

• That any displayed information is accurate, complete, or current.
• That any market will resolve as you expect.
• That any transaction will succeed or be relayed.
• That the Protocol is free of vulnerabilities.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FLIPCOIN AND ITS OPERATORS, CONTRIBUTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR DIGITAL ASSETS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICES OR PROTOCOL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FLIPCOIN'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

• $100 USD, OR
• THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO FLIPCOIN (IF ANY) FOR THE SERVICES IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in that case, liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless FlipCoin and its operators, contributors, contractors, and service providers from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• Your use of the Services or Protocol.
• Your violation of these Terms.
• Your violation of any law or third-party rights.
• Your content (including comments or profile information).

12. Suspension, Termination, and Service Changes

FlipCoin may, at any time, modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Services, temporarily or permanently, including limiting access for security, legal, or operational reasons.

FlipCoin may suspend or restrict your access to the interface if it reasonably believes:

• You violated these Terms.
• Your activity poses security or legal risks.
• It is required by law or sanctions compliance.

Because blockchain systems are decentralized, restricting the interface does not guarantee prevention of direct on-chain access.

13. Intellectual Property

FlipCoin branding, UI design, logos, and site content are owned by FlipCoin or its licensors, except where stated otherwise.

Open-source smart contract code and other repositories (if published) are governed by their respective licenses. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights beyond those licenses.

You may not use FlipCoin trademarks without prior written permission, except as allowed by applicable law.

14. Privacy

FlipCoin's data practices are described in the FlipCoin Privacy Policy. Your use of the Services is also subject to that policy.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the Services operator is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

16. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver (Where Permitted)

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services will be finally resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless prohibited by applicable law.

You agree that:

• Disputes will be resolved individually, not as a class action.
• The arbitrator may not consolidate multiple claims.
• Courts may have limited roles except to enforce arbitration or award.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above.

Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services.
