Non-solicitation

You agree and understand that all transactions you submit through the Site are considered unsolicited, which means that they are solely initiated by you. You alone are responsible for determining whether any transaction is appropriate for you based on your personal objectives, nature of use, and or financial circumstances.

Non-custodial and no fiduciary duties

The Site is a purely non-custodial application, meaning we do not have custody, possession, or control of your digital assets at any time. It further means you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold and you should never share your wallet credentials, information, or seed phrase with anyone. We accept no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and make no representations, or warranties regarding how the Interface will operate with any specific wallet.

Compliance and tax obligations

The Unispend Site may not be available or appropriate for use in your jurisdiction. By accessing or using the Interface, you agree that you are solely and entirely responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations that may apply to you. Specifically, your use of the Site may result in various tax consequences, such as income or capital gains tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax, or sales tax in certain jurisdictions.

It is your responsibility to determine whether taxes apply to any transactions you initiate or receive and, if so, to report and/or remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority.

Assumption of risk

By accessing and using this Site, you represent that you are financially and technically literate enough to understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and that you have a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of digital assets such as ether (ETH), so-called stablecoins, and other digital tokens such as those following the Ethereum Token Standard (ERC-20).

In particular, you understand that the markets for these digital assets are nascent and highly volatile due to risk factors including but not limited to adoption, speculation, technology, security, and regulations. Stablecoins may not be as stable as they purport to be, may not be fully, or adequately collateralized, and may be subject to panics and runs. Further, you understand that smart contract transactions automatically execute and settle, and that blockchain-based transactions are irreversible when confirmed. You acknowledge and accept that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems such as Ethereum are variable and may increase dramatically at any time.  Finally, you understand that we do not create, or own, any cross-chain coins but merely provide a platform to ease the use of cross-chain transactions, or payments.

In summary, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for any of these variables or risks and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses that you experience while accessing, or using our Site. Accordingly, you understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using the Unispend site, powered by Chi Technologies Inc.
