Terms of Service

By accessing or using the Rift website, protocol, applications, repositories, documentation, or any related services (collectively, the “Platform”), you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE PLATFORM. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

For purposes of these Terms, “Rift” refers to the contributors and maintainers of code and related materials published under the Rift name. “You” and “your” refer to the user accessing or using the Platform.

You represent and warrant that you are legally permitted to use the Platform under the laws of your jurisdiction and any other applicable laws. You are solely responsible for ensuring your compliance with all laws, regulations, and policies, including tax, reporting, sanctions, and anti-money laundering obligations. Rift makes no representation that the Platform is available or appropriate for use in all jurisdictions.

The Platform is non-custodial. You retain full control of your wallets and private keys at all times. You are solely responsible for managing your keys, addresses, network fees, and transaction parameters. You acknowledge that blockchain transactions are generally irreversible and final once submitted.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT RIFT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, COSTS, OR EXPENSES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Losses due to sending assets to an incorrect, incompatible, or unintended address.
• Losses due to incorrect amounts, slippage, or price movement, including front-running or MEV.
• Losses due to software bugs, exploits, vulnerabilities, network failures, chain reorganizations, or downtime.
• Losses due to lost, compromised, or mismanaged private keys, seed phrases, or devices.
• Losses due to user error, misunderstanding of instructions, or failure to double-check transaction details.
• Losses due to third-party services, wallets, bridges, relayers, oracles, APIs, or exchanges.
• Losses due to regulatory changes, tax obligations, or enforcement actions affecting your ability to use the Platform.
• Losses due to market volatility, impermanent loss, liquidity risks, insolvency of counterparties, or protocol parameter changes.
• Any other losses or damages of any kind, for any reason whatsoever.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS AND THAT RIFT OWES YOU NO DUTY AND ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS RISK, DO NOT USE THE PLATFORM.

Transactions you authorize may be irreversible. You are solely responsible for ensuring that recipient addresses, networks, and amounts are correct. RIFT CANNOT REVERSE OR RECOVER FUNDS THAT YOU SEND IN ERROR, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) IF YOU SEND FUNDS TO THE WRONG ADDRESS, ON THE WRONG NETWORK, OR IN THE WRONG AMOUNT.

You agree to:

• Carefully review all transaction details, including recipient addresses, network, and amounts before submitting.
• Maintain the security and confidentiality of your private keys and devices.
• Assume full responsibility for fees, gas, slippage, and other transaction parameters.
• Use the Platform only for lawful purposes and in compliance with applicable laws.
• Accept the risk of irreversible transactions and permanent loss due to user error or third-party issues.

You may not engage in any activity that: (a) violates laws or regulations; (b) infringes intellectual property, privacy, or other rights; (c) attempts to interfere with or disrupt the Platform; (d) involves fraud, deception, or market manipulation; or (e) seeks unauthorized access to any systems or data.

You represent, warrant, and covenant that you will NOT use the Platform if you are a sanctioned person, entity, or wallet address, or if you are located in, resident of, or otherwise accessing the Platform from a sanctioned or embargoed jurisdiction. Without limitation, this includes prohibitions under OFAC (U.S. Department of the Treasury), BIS (U.S. Department of Commerce), the U.S. State Department, the United Nations, the European Union, and HM Treasury (UK), as applicable.

• You are not listed on, controlled by, or acting on behalf of any person or entity on sanctions lists (e.g., OFAC SDN List, BIS Denied Persons/Entity Lists, EU/UN/HMT lists).
• You will not interact with or route transactions to/from any wallet address designated or blocked by OFAC or other sanctions authorities.
• You are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or accessing the Platform from embargoed or sanctioned regions (including, without limitation, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, or Luhansk regions of Ukraine, and any other region subject to comprehensive sanctions).
• You will not use VPNs, proxies, or any method to circumvent geofencing, IP blocks, or other compliance controls.
• You acknowledge and agree that Rift may restrict, geofence, or block access, and may block or disable interactions with certain addresses to comply with laws and sanctions.

RIFT DOES NOT ALLOW USE FROM SANCTIONED REGIONS OR BY SANCTIONED PARTIES OR ADDRESSES. BY USING THE PLATFORM, YOU AFFIRM THAT NONE OF THE ABOVE RESTRICTIONS APPLY TO YOU.

You are solely responsible for all taxes, duties, and reporting obligations related to your use of the Platform. Rift does not provide tax reporting or advice.

Parts of the Platform may be open source or rely on third-party libraries, smart contracts, infrastructure, or services. Your use of such components is subject to their respective terms, which you must review independently. Rift does not control and is not responsible for any third-party services or code.

Your use of the Platform does not create any fiduciary, custodial, partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship with Rift. You agree that no such relationship is formed and that Rift has no special duties to you beyond these Terms.

The Platform does not constitute an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any asset, nor does it provide brokerage, clearing, or intermediary services. Rift does not execute or clear transactions on your behalf and does not take custody of your assets.

Rift may, at any time and without liability, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform, including access to certain features or regions. Rift may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Rift and its contributors, developers, affiliates, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of any third party.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL RIFT’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS RELATING TO THE PLATFORM EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID (IF ANY) TO RIFT FOR USE OF THE PLATFORM IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY; IN SUCH CASES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION SHALL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

To the extent permitted by law, disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, and you waive any right to pursue class or representative actions. Where arbitration is not enforceable, disputes shall be brought in the courts having jurisdiction in an appropriate venue under applicable law.

If you have questions about these Terms, you may reach out via our public channels listed on the site. Do not share private keys or sensitive information in any communication.
