Terms of Service

Updated 21 May 2025

1.Welcome to SatsTerminal.com and the Interface!

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of both the SatsTerminal.com website (referred to as "SatsTerminal.com") and App.satsterminal.com interface (referred to as the "Interface") collectively referred to as the "Services." The Services are brought to you by SatsTerminal Labs ("we," "us," or "our").

SatsTerminal.com provides information and resources about the fundamentals of the decentralized non-custodial liquidity protocol called the SatsTerminal Protocol, comprised of open-source self-executing smart contracts that are deployed on various permissionless public blockchains, such as Bitcoin (the "SatsTerminal Protocol" or the "Protocol"). SatsTerminal Labs does not control or operate any version of the SatsTerminal Protocol on any blockchain network.

The Interface, which is hosted on IPFS, is an independent interface providing one of the available applications through which users, via their self-custodial wallets, interact with the SatsTerminal Protocol.

ARBITRATION NOTICE: THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE BELOW. EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES MENTIONED IN THAT ARBITRATION CLAUSE, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTES RELATING TO THE SERVICES (AS DEFINED BELOW) WILL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.

You are entering into a binding Agreement.

BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, WHICH INCLUDE OUR VARIOUS WEBSITES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SATSTERMINAL.COM AND APP.SATSTERMINAL.COM (AND ANY RESPECTIVE SUBDOMAINS); APPLICATIONS, AND OTHER SERVICES THAT LINK TO THESE TERMS, AS WELL AS ANY INFORMATION, TEXT, LINKS, GRAPHICS, PHOTOS, AUDIO, VIDEO, OR OTHER MATERIALS STORED, RETRIEVED OR APPEARING THEREON, WHETHER ACCESSED THROUGH THE SITE OR OTHERWISE (COLLECTIVELY, THE "SERVICES"), YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A BINDING AGREEMENT WITH US THAT INCLUDES THESE TERMS, PRIVACY POLICY (FOUND HERE), AND OTHER POLICIES REFERENCED HEREIN (COLLECTIVELY, THE "AGREEMENT").

To the extent that there is a conflict between these Terms and any applicable additional terms, these Terms will control unless expressly stated otherwise. If you don't agree with these Terms, you may not use the Services and should not visit the Site or otherwise engage with the Services.

Use of the Services

To use the Services, you must legally be able to enter into the Agreement. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet the eligibility requirement. If you do not meet the requirement, you must not access or use the Site or the Services.

We may update the Services and the Terms.

We may change or update the Services, the Agreement, and any part of the Terms at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion. Once any part of the Agreement is updated and in effect, you will be bound by the Terms if you continue to use the Services.

2.Services

SatsTerminal.com is an informational resource about the Protocol; however, it is not the exclusive or sole source.

All information provided in connection with your access and use of the Services is intended for informational purposes only. While we strive to provide accurate and reliable information, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information provided. It is possible that the information may be outdated or subject to errors or omissions. The codebases of all the versions of the SatsTerminal Protocol are maintained on each full network node of the relevant blockchain.

Users retain full control over their cryptoassets.

It is important to understand that neither we nor any affiliated entity is a party to any transaction on the blockchain networks underlying the SatsTerminal Protocol; we do not have possession, custody or control over any cryptoassets, or any user's funds. You understand that when you interact with SatsTerminal Protocol, you retain control over your cryptoassets at all times.

Users use third-party self-custodial wallets to interact with the SatsTerminal Protocol; we have no control or guarantee over the wallets.

To interact with the SatsTerminal Protocol using the Interface, you will need to connect and engage with it through your self-custodial wallet. It's essential to understand that your self-custodial wallet is provided by a third-party entity and is generally governed by separate terms and conditions set by the respective third-party service provider.

We are not intermediaries to blockchain transactions.

Due to the non-custodial and decentralized nature of the technology, we are not intermediaries, agents, advisors, or custodians, and we do not have a fiduciary relationship or obligation to you regarding any decisions, actions, or transactions you make when using our Services.

There may be associated blockchain fees.

Transactions conducted via blockchain networks may be subject to various fees imposed by third parties for access to and use of such permissionless networks. These fees may include, without limitation, gas fees, which are network transaction fees paid to validators, block producers, or similar participants for the processing, validation, and confirmation of transactions on the relevant blockchain network.

3.Assumption of Risk

You assume the risks of engaging in novel and experimental technology.

Technologies such as smart contracts on various blockchains, cryptographic tokens generated by the smart contracts, and other nascent software, applications, and systems that interact with blockchain-based networks are experimental, speculative, inherently risky, and subject to change. Among other risks, bugs, malfunctions, cyberattacks, or changes to the applicable blockchain (e.g., forks) could disrupt these technologies and even result in a total loss of cryptoassets, their market value, or digital funds.

We are not liable for any third-party services or links.

We are not responsible for the content or services of any third-party, including, without limitation, any network or apps like Discord or MetaMask, and we make no representations regarding the content or accuracy of any third-party services or materials.

You are solely responsible for the security of your self-custodial wallet.

You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your self-custodial wallet. You alone are responsible for securing your private keys. We do not have access to your private keys. Any unauthorized access to your self-custodial wallet by third parties could result in the loss or theft of any cryptoasset or funds held in your account and any associated accounts.
