STADER TERMS OF SERVICE

Stader is a distributed set of specially-developed infrastructure-level smart contracts (each, a "Smart Contract") deployed on the Terra, Solana, Fantom, Polygon, Hedera, Near, BNB and Ethereum blockchain network or such other compatible blockchain network, as the case may be (each, the "relevant Blockchain Network") which comprises a set of modular tools allowing users (delegators) to participate in and manage their digital assets staked with various third-party staking protocols across different chains, accessible via a user-friendly platform ("Stader"). All interactions between stakers and protocols operate in a peer-to-peer manner.

The staking arrangements may be visualised on a user interface that the user can interact with, including but not limited to the website at https://www.staderlabs.com/ and each of their subdomains, or our mobile or web applications (the "Site"). The Smart Contracts and the Site are collectively referred to in these Terms as (the "App"). Using the App, users can interact with the underlying Smart Contracts to manage their staking with third party protocols.

The Smart Contracts are designed to be modular and open, and interoperable across different blockchains, so users may also leverage these components to build their own staking solutions and decentralized applications.

Stazon Technologies Ltd. (the "Company", "we", "our" or "us") is making the App available to you. Before you use the App, the Smart Contracts, or the Site, however, you will need to agree to these Terms of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference (collectively, these "Terms"). PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE. THESE TERMS GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, AND THE SITE, UNLESS WE HAVE EXECUTED A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH YOU FOR THAT PURPOSE. WE ARE ONLY WILLING TO MAKE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, AND THE SITE AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS. BY USING THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, THE SITE, OR ANY PART OF THEM, OR BY CLICKING "I ACCEPT" BELOW OR INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE IN AN ADJOINING BOX, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS. IF YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS ON THAT ENTITY’S BEHALF, IN WHICH CASE "YOU" WILL MEAN THAT ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN WE ARE UNWILLING TO MAKE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE AVAILABLE TO YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE APP, THE SMART CONTRACTS, OR THE SITE.

By clicking "I Accept" or otherwise indicating your Acceptance, you agree to be bound by these Terms and affirm that you are of legal age to enter into these Terms where you live and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, by using the App, you acknowledge and understand that laws regarding digital assets, financial instruments, or investment products which may include digital assets, may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is your sole obligation to ensure that you fully comply with any law, regulation or directive, relevant to your jurisdiction with regard to the use of the App. For the avoidance of doubt, the ability to access the App does not necessarily mean that the App, or your activities through it, are legal under the laws, regulations or directives relevant to your jurisdiction. All of the App or the services made available through the App may not be available to all users, and we reserve the right to assess or reassess at any time your eligibility to use all or part of the App. The App does not constitute, and may not be used for the purposes of, an offer or solicitation to anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorised, or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the App from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes to the Terms from time to time. We will alert you of any changes by updating the “Last Updated" date of these Terms (on the last page hereof), and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Terms by your continued use of the Site, the App, and the Smart Contracts after the date such revised Terms are posted.

  1. The App
  2. To access the App, you must be at least eighteen (18) years old or of legal age to enter into an agreement as determined by the laws of the country/ territory where you live.
  3. To most easily access the App, you may first install a web browser (such as the Google Chrome web browser) and an electronic wallet (the User’s Wallet App) compatible with the relevant Blockchain Network, such as the User’s Wallet App. The User’s Wallet App allows you to purchase, store, and engage in transactions using the relevant Blockchain Network or other digital assets. You will not be able to engage in any transactions on the App other than through the User’s Wallet App, or other browsers compatible with the relevant Blockchain Network.
  4. All transactions (including staking transactions) that take place on the App are managed and confirmed via the relevant Blockchain Network. You understand that your public address on the relevant Blockchain Network will be made publicly visible whenever you engage in a transaction on the App.
  5. Stader is a non-custodial protocol, therefore the App does not hold or control your digital assets. Any digital assets which you may stake with Smart Contracts, or which you acquire through the usage of the App will be held and administered solely by you through your selected electronic wallet, and we shall have no access to or responsibility in regard to such electronic wallet or digital asset held therein. It is solely your responsibility to select the wallet service provider to use in connection with the App, and your use of such electronic wallet will be subject to the governing terms of use or privacy policy of the provider of such wallet. We neither own nor control the User’s Wallet App, Google Chrome, any electronic wallet, the relevant Blockchain Network, or any other third party site, product, or service that you might access, visit, or use for the purpose of enabling you to use the various features of the App. We will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any such third parties, nor will we be liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of your transactions or any other interaction with any such third parties.
  6. The Company will not create any hosted wallet for you or otherwise custody digital assets on your behalf, and it is your sole responsibility to maintain the security of your selected electronic wallet. In the event that you lose access to your electronic wallet, private key(s), password(s), or other method(s) of securing your Wallet, all digital assets held in such a wallet may be irretrievable, and the Company will be unable to assist you in any way. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against the Company, its affiliates and their respective shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives related to your use of any wallet software, associated loss of digital assets, transaction failures, or any other defects that arise in the course of your use of your electronic wallet, including any losses that may obtain as a result of any failure of any Smart Contracts, the Site or the App.
  7. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or any part of the Site or the App with or without notice. You agree that the Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of all or any part of the Site or the App.
  8. The publicly deployed Smart Contracts you interact with are experimental in nature and you should not utilise the Smart Contracts or App for deployment of any substantial amount of digital assets.
  9. Services
  10. The App is a client-side, non-custodial technical smart-contract based data processing solution which allows users to manage their direct interactions with a variety of third party staking protocols and validators (computing/storage resource providers), deposit digital assets with these third party protocols and parties, withdraw assets from such protocols, all without assets being held by any intermediaries and remaining at all times in control of their digital assets.
  11. When you access certain features of the services, the user interface will allow you to access a non-custodial Smart Contract to perform a variety of transactions. However, you remain in full control of your private keys and digital assets, and your digital assets, tokens and coins are not held or controlled in any way by Stader. Stader does not collect or hold your keys or information - accordingly Stader cannot access your digital assets; recover keys, passwords, or other information; reset passwords; or reverse transactions. You are solely responsible for the safety of your digital assets and your use of the services, including without limitation for storing, backing-up, and maintaining the confidentiality of your private keys, passwords, and information, and for the security of any transactions you perform using the App. You expressly relieve and release Stader from any and all liability and/or loss arising from your use of the services.
  12. Stader provides the interface connecting users directly with various supported third party staking protocols on the relevant Blockchain Network, allowing users to potentially earn interest, fees and token rewards from these third party protocols. These interactions may include participating in the network consensus mechanism, or providing liquidity for said third party protocols. Users will be providing their own digital assets directly to these third party protocols. The level of interest, rates and token rewards are independently determined by these third party protocols, and Stader does not provide any representation or guarantee in connection with the same. Stader may add or remove support for supported third party staking protocols from time to time by revising these Terms and updating the Website.
  13. The App will also allow individual validators (i.e. users which provide computing/storage resources for utilisation by others without such resources) or pools of such validators ("each a Validator Service Provider") to offer their resources and services to users on the App which require these resources in order to participate in staking on third party staking protocols. The App allows these Validator Service Providers to share their historical performance/uptime/service standards. Users may select the Validator Service Provider they wish to utilise and enter into direct contractual arrangements with these Validator Service Providers for resources in exchange for a fee.
