3. ARCHIMEDES APP

Archimedes App is a web-based user interface that enables you to interact with the Protocol, which is a decentralized autonomous smart-contract system deployed on the Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchain networks, such as the Ethereum main network, that allows for programming and automating positions on the blockchain with higher efficiency, and certain implementations thereof (the “Protocol”). For more details concerning the Protocol, please refer to the information and materials available on the Website, including the documents section that may be made available at https://docs.archimedesfi.com/ from time to time, which information and materials are provided for the information purposes only, are not binding and do not form a part of these Terms.

The Protocol is comprised of open-sourced smart-contracts deployed on the blockchain network(s) that operate in a decentralized and autonomous manner. These smart-contacts can be reviewed, verified, used, copied, modified, and distributed by anyone (subject to the terms of the applicable license). Accordingly, there might be other interfaces enabling interaction with the Protocol that we neither control nor are affiliated with. Furthermore, anyone can interact directly with the Protocol bypassing the Archimedes App and other interfaces. You should carefully and thoroughly review and assess the Protocol and related software before you use them, and any such use shall be at your own risk. You should always do your own research.

You further acknowledge that we do not control the blockchain network, and any software through which such a network is formed. Accordingly, in no event shall Archimedes be responsible for or held liable in connection with the Protocol, underlying blockchain networks or software, their operation, functioning, implementation, or use, and you hereby assume and accept any and all related risks, including the risk of possible losses and damages that you may incur in connection with the use thereof.

4. CONNECTING DIGITAL WALLET

When using Archimedes App, you may connect your Digital Wallet through one of the compatible third-party software wallets, such as, for illustration purposes only, MetaMask, TrustWallet, WalletConnect or similar software. Software wallets constitute Third-Party Services and Archimedes is not responsible for, does not endorse, shall not be held liable in connection with, and does not make any warranties, whether express or implied, as to the software digital wallets used by you with the Archimedes App or otherwise. When using third-party software wallets, you should review applicable terms and policies that govern your use of such software.

Archimedes never receives access to or control over your Digital Wallet or Virtual Assets held in such Digital Wallet. Therefore, you are solely responsible for securing your Digital Wallet and credentials thereto (including private key, seed phrase, password, etc.) You may disconnect your Digital Wallet from the Archimedes App at any time.

5. ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible to access and use the Platform, you must:

be able to form a legally binding agreement with Archimedes on terms herein set forth;

if an individual, be at least 18 (eighteen) years of age, or of such higher age required to enter into a binding agreement with Archimedes on the terms set out herein according to the laws of the jurisdiction where you reside;

neither be a Prohibited Person nor use the Platform for the benefit of a Prohibited Person;

comply with these Terms; and use the Archimedes App for your business purposes only, and not as a consumer, and you hereby further agree and acknowledge that the Archimedes App is available for your commercial use only. You are not allowed to use the Archimedes App in your capacity as a consumer.

6. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS

You hereby acknowledge and agree that Archimedes does not provide any custodial or similar services, custodial solutions, or software, does not act as your agent or representative, and does not control, manage, or custody any of your Virtual Assets.

Archimedes shall not be responsible for or held liable in connection with any operations carried out by you, any other user, or group of users with the Archimedes App or through the Protocol, including any receipt, transfer, use, or storing of Virtual Assets. All transactions between the users of the Protocol are peer-to-peer, which means that the users interact directly with each other using their Digital Wallets. Archimedes does not act as an intermediary in any transaction and shall not be responsible for ensuring that any transaction made through the Archimedes App or otherwise on the blockchain is actually completed or performed. Archimedes does not control or influence transactions with Virtual Assets and therefore is unable to cancel, reverse, block, or freeze any transactions conducted by you or any other user. It is your responsibility to ensure that all your transactions comply with the requirements of the laws and regulations applicable to you.

Virtual Assets are extremely volatile which means that their value and applicable exchange rates may change dramatically in a very short time depending on various factors and forces. Furthermore, the composition of Virtual Assets supplied to certain Third-Party Services (such as AMMs), whether through the Protocol or otherwise, may change, their value may go up or down, or drop significantly. Archimedes does not facilitate or intermediate your interactions with the Protocol or Third-Party Services, and shall not be responsible for or held liable in connection with any damages or losses that you may incur as a result of or in connection with the change in the composition, value or price of your Virtual Assets.

Archimedes is not your broker, fund manager, or any intermediary to any broker or fund manager. Neither the Platform nor the Protocol or anything in these Terms shall be considered as broker and/or fund management services, or any intermediation services thereto.

Neither the Platform nor Archimedes provides financial advisory, legal, regulatory, or tax services directly, indirectly, implicitly, or in any other manner, and you should not consider any content contained in these Terms, information or materials provided by Archimedes (or on our behalf) to be a substitute for professional financial, legal, regulatory, tax, or other advice.

The Platform, including any information and materials available thereon, is not intended to constitute an offer of securities or Virtual Assets, or a solicitation for investment in or purchase of securities or Virtual Assets in any jurisdiction, nor is it intended to constitute a prospectus or offer document of any type. We do not provide any opinion or any advice to purchase, sell, or otherwise transact with Virtual Assets, and nothing communicated by Archimedes shall form the basis of, or be relied upon in connection with, any contract or investment decision. Please consult your own legal or financial advisor before making any decision, and always do your own research.

In order to be successfully completed, any Transaction involving your User Assets initiated by or sent to your Digital Wallet must be confirmed by and recorded on the blockchain(s) supporting such User Assets. Archimedes has no control over any blockchain and therefore cannot and does not ensure that any transaction details that you submit or receive via our Service will be validated by or confirmed on the relevant blockchain, and Archimedes does not have the ability to facilitate any cancellation or modification requests. You accept and acknowledge that you take full responsibility for all activities that you effect through your Digital Wallet and accept all risks of loss, including loss as a result of any authorized or unauthorized access to your Digital Wallet, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

You represent and warrant that you (a) have the necessary technical expertise and ability to review and evaluate the security, integrity and operation of your Digital Wallet and any DeFi Platforms to which your User Assets may be deployed in connection with the Service; (b) have the knowledge, experience, understanding, professional advice and information to make your own evaluation of the merits, risks and applicable compliance requirements under applicable laws of any use of your Digital Wallet and any DeFi Platforms to which your User Assets may be deployed in connection with the Service; (c) know, understand and accept the risks associated with your Digital Wallet and any DeFi Platforms to which your User Assets may be deployed in connection with the Service; and (d) accept the risks associated with blockchain technology and DeFi Platforms generally, and are responsible for conducting your own independent analysis of the risks specific to your use of the Service. You further agree that Archimedes will have no responsibility or liability for such risks.

You acknowledge and agree that:

Archimedes is a software provider that does not store, send, or receive your User Assets.

There are risks associated with using an Internet based currency, including but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections; the risk of malicious software introduction; the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your Digital Wallet; and the risk of counterfeit assets, mislabeled assets, assets that are vulnerable to metadata decay, assets on smart contracts with bugs, and assets that may become untransferable. You accept and acknowledge that Archimedes will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays or losses you may experience when using blockchain technology, however caused.

The regulatory regimes governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens are uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Service.

Archimedes makes no guarantee as to the functionality of any blockchain’s decentralized governance, which could, among other things, lead to delays, conflicts of interest, or operational decisions that are unfavorable to your User Assets. You acknowledge and accept that the protocols governing the operation of a blockchain may be subject to sudden changes in operating rules which may materially alter the blockchain and affect the value and function of any of your User Assets supported by that blockchain.

Archimedes makes no guarantee as to the security of any blockchain or any DeFi Platform. Archimedes is not liable for any hacks, double spending, stolen User Assets, or any other attacks on a blockchain or DeFi Platform.

The DeFi Platforms are controlled by third parties, and Archimedes is not responsible for their performance nor any risks associated with the use thereof. The Service relies on, and Archimedes makes no guarantee or warranties as to the functionality of or access to, any DeFi Platform, Digital Wallet, or other Third-Party Service.

You control your Digital Wallet, and Archimedes is not responsible for its performance, nor any risks associated with the use thereof.

The introduction of any changes to the British Virgin Islands Virtual Assets Service Providers Act enacted on 1 February 2022, or any guidance issued in connection therewith, or any change in the characteristics of the Platform or the Protocol, or to the business activities of Archimedes, may result in us becoming subject to regulation in the British Virgin Islands which may impact the provision of the services hereunder.

24. APPLICABLE LAW

These Terms shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of British Virgin Islands. For the avoidance of doubt, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to these Terms.

25. DISPUTES RESOLUTION

For the purposes of this Section 25, a Dispute is any claim whatsoever that arises out of or is in any way connected with these Terms or use of the Platform, save for any claim for injunctive or equitable relief arising out of the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents (“Excluded Disputes”).

Alternative Dispute Resolution

For all Disputes and Excluded Disputes that you have against Archimedes or relating to the Platform, these Terms or any matters contemplated herein, you shall first contact Archimedes and attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by sending a notice to Archimedes by email at legal@archimedesfi.com. The notice must include your name, address and email, and such other information necessary to identify you or assess your inquiry, describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and set forth the specific relief sought.

Excluded Disputes

If Archimedes and you cannot reach an agreement to resolve an Excluded Dispute within thirty (30) days after such notice is received, then in relation only to Excluded Disputes the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the British Virgin Islands Court.

Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes

If Archimedes and you cannot reach an agreement to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after such notice is received, then the parties agree that all Disputes shall be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration under and in accordance with the LCIA Arbitration Rules (effective 1 October 2020 as amended from time to time). The seat of the arbitration shall be the British Virgin Islands. The venue of the arbitration shall be BVI, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

The arbitral tribunal appointed or to be appointed pursuant to this arbitration agreement shall have exclusive right to determine matters including the validity and enforceability of the arbitration agreement as well as the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal.

All Disputes shall be resolved solely through individual arbitration in accordance with this arbitration agreement and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding in any circumstances. There will be no class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration where an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals.

To the maximum extent permitted under the applicable law, you and Archimedes waive any rights to a jury trial, class action arbitration, and to have any Dispute resolved in court.

This arbitration agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

Limitation of Actions

To the maximum extent permitted under the applicable law, you and Archimedes hereby agree that all Disputes and Excluded Disputes shall be brought (in the case of Excluded Disputes) or referred to arbitration (in the case of Disputes) within one (1) year after the ground for such Dispute or Excluded Dispute arose; if not, such claim shall be permanently barred, which means that neither you, nor Archimedes will have the right to assert such claim.
