Terms of Service

Terms of Service – Axiora

1. Introduction
Welcome to Axiora. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our decentralized exchange protocol, user interface, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”). By connecting a wallet or initiating any interaction with the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

2. Nature of the Platform
Axiora is a non-custodial, permissionless, and decentralized protocol for swapping cryptocurrencies. Trades are executed by smart contracts that draw liquidity from internal pools and, where advantageous, route orders through interconnected decentralized services to pursue the best available execution at low fees. You retain full control of your private keys and assets at all times; the Platform never takes custody and cannot move your funds without your explicit on-chain authorization.

3. No KYC; Decentralized Access
The Platform does not implement Know Your Customer (KYC) checks and will never ask you to submit identity documents. Access is wallet-based and permissionless. Nevertheless, it is your responsibility to ensure that using a decentralized exchange is lawful in your location and that you satisfy any eligibility restrictions under applicable laws, including sanctions and local prohibitions, if any.

4. Eligibility and User Representations
By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction, have full capacity to enter into these Terms, and are not a person or entity barred from using decentralized protocols under applicable law (including sanctions regulations). You further represent that you are using the Platform for lawful purposes only and on your own behalf (or with proper authority on behalf of an organization).

5. Self-Custody and Wallet Security
You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet, private keys, seed phrases, passcodes, and devices. The Platform cannot recover lost credentials, reverse executed transactions, or freeze assets. You acknowledge that any transaction you authorize may be final and irreversible on the blockchain and that mistakes (including wrong token selection, slippage settings, or recipient address) may permanently result in loss of funds.

6. Markets, Slippage, and Execution
The Platform attempts to identify optimal routes and rates across internal and external liquidity sources. However, prices in crypto markets are volatile and subject to slippage, MEV (miner/validator extractable value), network congestion, and liquidity conditions. Quoted estimates are not guarantees. Final execution occurs on-chain and may differ from pre-trade previews. You agree that the Platform is not liable for market movements or on-chain conditions that impact execution quality.

7. Fees and Costs
Each swap may incur protocol fees disclosed in the interface and network fees (“gas”) paid to miners/validators. Fees are dynamic, may change pursuant to protocol governance or updates, and are generally non-refundable once a transaction is broadcast. Where trades are routed externally, those protocols may impose their own fees, which are reflected in execution outcomes.

8. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to use the Platform for unlawful activities, including but not limited to money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, market manipulation, sanctions evasion, or exploitation of smart contract vulnerabilities. You also agree not to interfere with or disrupt the Platform, attempt to access non-public systems, or engage in attacks (e.g., DDoS, sybil, phishing).

9. Intellectual Property and License
The Axiora interface, brand elements, documentation, and other non-protocol materials may be protected by intellectual property rights. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a revocable, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the interface to interact with the smart contracts. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the interface except as permitted by applicable open-source licenses (if any) expressly stated in our repositories.

10. No Advice; No Fiduciary Relationship
The Platform does not provide investment, financial, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Information displayed (including prices, rates, analytics, or educational content) is for general informational purposes only. You are solely responsible for your decisions and for seeking independent professional advice as needed.

11. Disclaimers
The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, security, or error-free operation. We do not warrant that the Platform or smart contracts are free of vulnerabilities or that access will be uninterrupted or secure.

12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Axiora and its contributors, developers, community members, affiliates, and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or opportunity; or any loss or damage resulting from (a) your use of or inability to use the Platform; (b) smart contract vulnerabilities or failures; (c) errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies in quotes or displays; (d) unauthorized access to or use of your wallet; (e) third-party services or protocols; or (f) regulatory actions or changes in law. In any case, our aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount of fees you paid to the protocol via the interface in the six (6) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, if any.

13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Axiora and its contributors from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of applicable laws or third-party rights.

14. Third-Party Protocols and Links
Trades may be routed through external protocols that we do not control. Your interactions with those protocols are solely between you and such third parties and are subject to their terms and risks. We do not endorse, warrant, or assume responsibility for third-party services, code, or content.

15. Governance and Changes
Certain parameters of the Platform (e.g., fee rates, supported pools, routing logic) may be adjusted through decentralized governance or technical upgrades. We may update the interface and these Terms from time to time. Your continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Suspension of Interface Access
While the smart contracts are decentralized, access to web front-ends or ancillary services may be suspended, modified, or geo-limited if reasonably necessary for security, maintenance, legal compliance, or to mitigate abuse.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration, under the rules of the law, unless applicable law requires otherwise. You waive class actions to the extent permitted by law and agree to bring claims only in your individual capacity.

18. Severability; Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Platform and supersede any prior understandings.

19. Censorship Resistance and Decentralization
Axiora is fully decentralized and operates exclusively through smart contracts deployed on public blockchains. Once deployed, these smart contracts are immutable and accessible to anyone with a compatible wallet. Neither the contributors to Axiora, nor its developers, nor any affiliated entity have the technical ability to block, censor, or selectively prevent specific users or wallets from executing swaps. All transactions are processed in accordance with the rules encoded in the smart contracts and subject only to the conditions of the blockchain network (such as gas requirements and network consensus).

This means that Axiora cannot discriminate between users, cannot freeze assets, and cannot deny access to trades. The protocol is designed to be permissionless and censorship-resistant, ensuring that no central authority can interfere with or override a valid swap request. However, users remain solely responsible for complying with applicable laws in their jurisdiction, as the decentralized nature of the Platform does not exempt them from legal obligations.
