Terms of Service · Unvault Help Center

Effective: September 21, 2026 · Version 1.0

Part A — The basics#

1. Read this first#

1.1 A short summary. This section is a courtesy overview. It is not a substitute for the full Terms, and where the two differ the full Terms control.

Unvault is a non-custodial interface to public blockchains. Your wallet holds your assets; your signatures move them. Unvault never holds your keys, your NFTs, or your tokens.
The on-chain programs that settle trades, run liquidity pools, hold vaulted items, pay DIVIT rewards, and mint drops (the Protocol Contracts) are owned by UV Tech Foundation, a Panama private interest foundation. Unvault (BVI) Ltd operates the website, app, APIs, and off-chain services that let you use them.
Every on-chain action is final once confirmed. Unvault cannot reverse, refund, or undo a transaction on your behalf.
Unvault's fees: a 0.5% marketplace fee on secondary sales, a 10% launchpad fee on primary mints, a 10% swap fee on each swap into or out of a liquidity pool, and 0.69 USDC per vault or unvault move. Network gas and cross-chain messaging fees are charged by third parties and shown before you confirm. Creator earnings are set by each collection and paid on every sale, whether or not the collection enforces them on-chain.
You must be at least 18, not subject to sanctions, and not located in a territory where these Services are restricted.
Disputes are resolved by individual arbitration seated in Las Vegas, Nevada, under Utah law, with a 30-day opt-out. Class actions are waived.

1.2 What these Terms cover. These Terms of Service (the Terms) govern your use of the Unvault interface at unvault.com and its subdomains (including app, support, docs, and onboarding subdomains), the Unvault web application, the Unvault APIs, and the off-chain services that support them (together, the Services). Using the Services, connecting a wallet, signing in, or clicking to accept means you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1.3 Documents that form part of these Terms. The Copyright Policy, the Trademark Policy, the Disputed Items Policy, the Law Enforcement Guidelines, the Fee Schedule, and the API terms in the developer documentation, each published by Unvault, are incorporated into these Terms. Feature-specific rules shown to you inside the Services (for example, the rules of a particular drop or rewards campaign) also apply; if they conflict with these Terms on a point specific to that feature, the feature-specific rules control for that feature. Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal data; it is a separate document, and by using the Services you acknowledge it.

1.4 Changes. We may revise these Terms. When we do, we will post the revised version with a new effective date and, for material changes, give notice through the Services or by email if we have your address, at least 14 days before the change takes effect (or immediately, where a change is required by law or addresses a security or legal risk). Continued use after the effective date is acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Services before it takes effect.

2. Who you are dealing with#

2.1 Unvault (BVI) Ltd. These Terms are a contract between you and Unvault (BVI) Ltd, a company incorporated under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 with company number 2217283, whose registered office is at Suite 5, Oleander Building, Port Purcell, Tortola, VG1110, British Virgin Islands, care of its registered agent Leeward (BVI) Limited (Unvault, we, us, our). Unvault operates the Services.

2.2 UV Tech Foundation. UV Tech Foundation (the Foundation) is a private interest foundation constituted under Law 25 of 12 June 1995 of the Republic of Panama and registered at the Public Registry of Panama under Folio No. 25068308. The Foundation owns and controls the Protocol Contracts (defined in Section 3) on every supported network, including the administrative and upgrade keys for those contracts, and holds the intellectual property embodied in them. The Protocol Contracts are not assets of Unvault. Unvault operates the Services with the Foundation's authorisation. The Foundation is not a party to these Terms and does not provide the Services, but it is an intended third-party beneficiary of Sections 6, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 28 and may enforce them directly.

2.3 What this split means for you. When you use the Services to interact with a Protocol Contract, your instruction is executed by the blockchain network, not by Unvault. Unvault's role is to build and run the interface, indexers, order books, signing services, and support channels that make the Protocol Contracts usable. Neither Unvault nor the Foundation takes custody of your assets at any point. Where these Terms say that Unvault "does not control" something on-chain, that statement is literal: Unvault has no key that can move your assets or reverse a confirmed transaction.

3. Words with special meanings#

In these Terms:

Activation means the step in a cross-chain move in which the canonical representation of a vaulted Digital Item becomes live on a destination network. Unvaulting has the same meaning.
Collection means a set of Digital Items issued under one smart contract (or one on-chain program) on a Supported Network.
Creator means the person who deploys or controls a Collection, or who is recorded on-chain or in the Services as its owner.
Creator Earnings means the percentage of a resale price that a Collection's on-chain royalty configuration directs to the Creator or to the Collection's DIVIT Pool.
Digital Item means a non-fungible token or comparable unique on-chain asset.
DIVIT Pool means a Protocol Contract that receives Creator Earnings and other amounts for a Collection and distributes them under the DIVIT rules described in Section 11.
Drop means a mint event for a Collection run through the Services, including its phases, schedule, allowlists, and per-wallet limits.
Liquidity Pool or Pool means a Protocol Contract created through the Pool factory that holds Digital Items, Pool Tokens, or both, and buys or sells Digital Items automatically under a price curve set by its owner.
Minter's Bonus means the portion of a Collection's DIVIT Pool that the Collection has configured to be distributed to wallets that minted Digital Items in that Collection's Drop.
Order means a listing, auction, offer, or Pool trade instruction that you create or fill through the Services.
Marketplace Fee, Launchpad Fee, Swap Fee, and Vault Fee mean the fees described in Sections 13.1 to 13.4, and Unvault Fees means all of them together.
Pool Tokens means the fungible assets (the native currency of a network, or an ERC-20 token such as wrapped native currency or USDC) deposited into a Liquidity Pool.
Program Rules means the rules Unvault or a Creator publishes in the Services for a DIVIT programme, a gacha cycle, a Drop, or a rewards campaign, including any claim period.
Protocol Contracts means the smart contracts and on-chain programs deployed for the Unvault protocol on each Supported Network, including the marketplace settlement zone and auction contracts, the Pool factory and Pool template contracts, the royalty registry and transfer validator, the DIVIT Pool and claim contracts, the launchpad and Drop mint contracts, the vault, escrow, and mirror contracts used for cross-chain moves, and the cross-chain messaging adapters. Public third-party protocols that the Protocol Contracts call (for example, the Seaport settlement protocol and LayerZero endpoints) are not Protocol Contracts.
Supported Network means a blockchain network on which the Services are made available. As of the effective date these are Ethereum, Base, ApeChain, Robinhood Chain, Polygon, BNB Chain, and Abstract. Networks may be added or removed.
Vaulting means locking a Digital Item on its origin network in a Protocol Contract so that a canonical representation can be activated on another Supported Network.
Wallet means the self-custodied blockchain address and keys you use with the Services.
you means the person or entity using the Services. If you use the Services for an organisation, you confirm that you can bind it, and "you" includes the organisation.

4. Who may use the Services#

4.1 Age. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher. The Services are not directed at children.

4.2 Sanctions and restricted territories. You may not use the Services if you are, or are acting for, a person or entity listed on, or owned or controlled by a person listed on, a sanctions list maintained by the United Nations, the United States (including OFAC's SDN list), the United Kingdom, or the European Union; or if you are located in, organised in, or ordinarily resident in a country or territory that is the target of comprehensive sanctions by any of those authorities. You may not use a VPN or other means to disguise your location for the purpose of evading this Section.

4.3 Your representations. Each time you use the Services you confirm that: (a) you meet the requirements in this Section; (b) the assets in your Wallet are lawfully yours to deal with; (c) you are not using the Services to launder money, finance terrorism, evade sanctions, or commit fraud; and (d) you have not previously been suspended from the Services.

4.4 Screening. We may screen wallet addresses against sanctions lists and blockchain-analytics risk indicators and may restrict access to the Services from addresses that fail screening. Restricting an address in the Services does not and cannot affect what that address can do directly on-chain.

Part B — Using Unvault#

5. Your Wallet and profile#

5.1 Signing in. You use the Services by connecting a Wallet and, where prompted, signing a message that proves you control it. The signed message costs no gas and does not authorise any transfer. Wallet software (such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, OKX Wallet, Trust Wallet, or any wallet connected through WalletConnect) is provided by third parties under their own terms; Unvault does not provide wallet software and cannot recover keys, seed phrases, or assets.

5.2 Universal accounts. Some features let you pay from a network other than the one where an item lives. That flow uses a universal account provided by Particle Network that is linked to your Wallet. The universal account is operated by Particle Network under its own terms, and Unvault does not custody funds in it.

5.3 Profile details. You may set a nickname, an avatar, and a visibility setting for your profile, and you may link an X (Twitter) account for campaigns that require it. Nicknames and avatars must not impersonate another person, Collection, or brand, and must comply with Section 17. We may reclaim a nickname that is misleading, infringing, or inactive.

5.4 Your responsibility for your Wallet. You are responsible for everything done with your Wallet, including transactions you approve while using the Services. Keep your keys private. Unvault staff will never ask for your seed phrase or private key. If you believe your Wallet has been compromised, revoke approvals and move assets to a new Wallet immediately, then contact support@unvault.com.

6. Non-custodial by design: what Unvault does and does not do#

6.1 What Unvault does. Unvault indexes on-chain data, displays Collections and Digital Items, maintains an off-chain order book for signed Orders, generates the signed authorisations that certain Protocol Contracts require (for example, marketplace zone signatures, Drop mint vouchers, and DIVIT claim proofs), provides the interface for Vaulting and Activation, and offers support and developer tools.

6.2 What Unvault does not do. Unvault does not (a) hold, custody, or control your keys, Digital Items, or tokens; (b) buy, sell, or own the Digital Items traded through the Services except where Unvault or the Foundation is expressly identified as the Creator of a Collection; (c) act as a broker, dealer, exchange, money transmitter, payment processor, escrow agent, or fiduciary for you; (d) execute or settle any transaction — the network does that; or (e) guarantee that any Order will be filled, that any Digital Item has any value, or that any counterparty will perform.

6.3 Trades are between users. Every purchase, sale, offer, auction, and Pool trade is a transaction between the wallet addresses involved, settled by the Protocol Contracts and their underlying settlement protocol. Unvault is not a party to those transactions. Unvault is not responsible for the legality, quality, authenticity, or value of any Digital Item, or for a counterparty's conduct.

6.4 Direct interaction with Protocol Contracts. The Protocol Contracts are deployed on public networks and can be called without the Services. These Terms govern your use of the Services; they do not make Unvault responsible for interactions you carry out with a Protocol Contract outside the Services, and the Foundation provides the Protocol Contracts without warranty of any kind.

7. The marketplace#

7.1 Types of Order. Through the Services you can create and fill: fixed-price listings; English auctions (ascending bids, highest bid at the end wins, subject to any reserve); Dutch auctions (price starts high and falls until a buyer accepts); and offers on an individual item, on any item in a Collection, or on items sharing a trait.

7.2 Approvals. Before a Digital Item can be sold, your Wallet must approve the settlement contract to transfer it. Before a token offer can be filled, your Wallet must approve the settlement contract to spend the offered token. Approvals are on-chain permissions granted by you to a contract, not to Unvault. Review the scope of each approval before signing, and revoke approvals you no longer need.

7.3 Signed Orders. Listings and offers are signed messages that you create off-chain. Signing a listing or offer is a binding commitment to sell or buy on the stated terms if the Order is filled before it expires or is cancelled. Unvault stores signed Orders and shares them with the Protocol Contracts and, where enabled, with other marketplaces or aggregators.

7.4 Expiry and cancellation. Each Order carries an expiry that you set; where you do not set one, the Services apply a default of 365 days. Removing a listing or offer from the Services hides it but does not always invalidate the signature; a fully effective cancellation is an on-chain transaction that costs gas. Until you cancel on-chain, a previously signed Order may still be fillable.

7.5 Auctions. An English auction settles to the highest valid bid when it ends; the seller may cancel an English auction before it settles unless the Drop or Collection rules say otherwise. A Dutch auction fills instantly for the first buyer who accepts the current price. Minimum bid increments and reserve prices are shown on the item page.

7.6 Settlement finality. A filled Order is a confirmed blockchain transaction. It cannot be reversed by Unvault. Unvault does not offer refunds, chargebacks, or buyer-protection programmes.

7.7 Paying from another network. Where the Services offer it, you may pay for an item or a mint on one Supported Network using funds held on another. That flow uses your universal account and a cross-chain payment provider to deliver the purchase price to the destination network. The Services show the total cost, including provider fees, before you confirm. If a cross-chain payment cannot be completed, the flow provides a "get my funds back" path that returns the funds to your universal account or Wallet on the source network, less network costs already incurred; Unvault does not hold those funds at any point.

7.8 Gas. Every on-chain step requires network gas paid in the native currency of the relevant network. Gas is paid to network validators, not to Unvault. A transaction that fails on-chain still consumes gas.

7.9 Currencies. Orders are denominated in the native currency of the relevant network or in supported tokens shown in the Services (such as wrapped native currency or USDC). Price displays in another currency are estimates for convenience only.

8. Liquidity Pools#

8.1 What a Pool is. A Liquidity Pool is a Protocol Contract owned by the wallet that created it. A BUY Pool holds Pool Tokens and buys Digital Items; a SELL Pool holds Digital Items and sells them; a TRADE Pool does both. Each Pool prices its trades using a starting spot price, a delta (linear or exponential), and a fee rate, all set by the Pool owner when the Pool is created.

8.2 Trading with a Pool. When you buy from or sell to a Pool, your counterparty is the Pool contract and, economically, its owner. The Services show the quoted price, the Swap Fee, any fee the Pool owner has set, and any Creator Earnings before you confirm. Pool quotes change with every trade and with Pool owner actions; a quote is not guaranteed until your transaction is confirmed.

8.3 Running a Pool. If you create a Pool, you are responsible for it. You may deposit and withdraw Pool Tokens and Digital Items, collect accrued fees, change the spot price, and transfer ownership (a two-step process in which the new owner must accept on-chain). Assets in a Pool are held by the Pool contract and controlled by its owner; neither Unvault nor the Foundation can withdraw them. Health indicators shown in the Services (for example, a Pool marked closed because its inventory is empty) are derived from indexed data and are not an on-chain status.

8.4 No token issued. Creating or trading with a Pool does not create any share, unit, or liquidity token. Unvault does not issue any fungible token, and no token issued by Unvault or the Foundation is required to use the Services.

9. Drops and minting#

9.1 Launching a Collection. Launching through the Unvault launchpad is by application. Creators apply at onboarding.unvault.com; Unvault reviews each application and accepts or declines it at its sole discretion, may attach conditions to an acceptance, and may withdraw launchpad access at any time, including for a violation of these Terms. Accepted Creators can deploy a launchpad Collection through the Services on a Supported Network, set its name, symbol, supply, metadata base URI and artwork, optionally configure an on-chain royalty split, and then configure a Drop page with a mint schedule. A Drop is not visible to the public until the Creator publishes its schedule on-chain.

9.2 Phases and access. A Drop may have phases (for example, an allowlist phase, a phase reserved for holders of a specified Collection such as Genesis Bugz, and a public phase), each with its own price, start time, and per-wallet limit. Where a phase is restricted, the Services issue a signed mint voucher to eligible wallets; the mint contract checks the voucher. Eligibility is determined by the rules of the Drop and the snapshot or allowlist supplied by the Creator.

9.3 Minting. Minting is an on-chain transaction between your Wallet and the Collection's mint contract. You pay the mint price plus gas; the Launchpad Fee in Section 13.2 is taken from the mint proceeds. Where offered, you may pay from another network under Section 7.7, or pay for a mint that is delivered to another wallet you specify. A mint that fails on-chain is not completed; a mint that succeeds is final.

9.4 What Creators promise. By launching a Drop you confirm that you own or are licensed to use all artwork, names, and metadata in the Collection; that the Collection does not violate Section 17; that any roadmap, utility, or benefit you advertise is accurate and will be delivered by you; and that you will comply with the laws that apply to your offering, including consumer, advertising, and securities laws. Unvault does not review Drops for legal compliance and is not responsible for a Creator's promises.

9.5 Metadata and media. Creators host their own metadata and media (for example on IPFS, Arweave, or their own servers). Unvault caches and displays it but does not guarantee its availability, and an item whose media has gone offline is not Unvault's responsibility.

10. Vaulting and Activation (cross-chain moves)#

10.1 How a move works. Vaulting locks a Digital Item in a Protocol Contract on its origin network. A cross-chain message, delivered through LayerZero, records the lock and the beneficial owner, and the canonical representation of that item becomes claimable and then active on the destination network. No wrapped or duplicate token is created: one item, one active instance. Unvaulting an item back to its origin releases the locked original to the beneficial owner. Ownership stays with the token ID; custody is wherever the active instance currently sits.

10.2 Which Collections can move. A Collection can be vaulted only after its Creator has activated cross-chain support for it in the Services and the relevant Protocol Contracts have been configured for it. Some Collections may be enabled for some destination networks and not others.

10.3 Timing and fees. A move requires a transaction on the origin network, a messaging fee for the cross-chain message, the Vault Fee in Section 13.4, and, for Activation, a transaction on the destination network. Delivery time depends on the finality of the networks involved and on the messaging network's performance. The Services show all of these before you confirm.

10.4 Delayed or failed messages. Cross-chain messages can be delayed, and a destination transaction can fail (for example, for insufficient gas). The Services provide a status view and, where the protocol supports it, a retry. During a delay the item remains locked in the vault contract; it is not lost, and it is not held by Unvault. If a message cannot be delivered, support@unvault.com can help you understand the state of the item, but neither Unvault nor the Foundation can alter the on-chain state outside the rules of the Protocol Contracts.

10.5 Listings while vaulted. A locked instance cannot be transferred or sold. Only the active instance on its current network can be listed or traded.

10.6 Creator Earnings travel. A Collection's royalty configuration is carried with its items across networks. Where a Creator has upgraded an origin Collection for royalty enforcement, holders may be offered the option to retrieve the original item or keep the enforced representation, as shown in the Services.

11. DIVIT and the Minter's Bonus#

11.1 What DIVIT is. DIVIT is a marketing-rewards programme in which Creator Earnings collected on marketplace sales of a Collection (and any other amounts a Creator directs) flow into that Collection's DIVIT Pool. The DIVIT Pool splits the amounts it receives between eligible holders, the Creator, the protocol, and, where configured, minters, according to the split the Creator sets when enabling DIVIT for the Collection. The split, the pool balance, the number of eligible wallets, and the claim history are shown on the Collection's DIVIT page.

11.2 Eligibility and behaviour-based rules. A Creator may condition holder rewards on behaviour — for example, minimum holding duration, not having the item listed for sale, or participating in licensing or community programmes — and the DIVIT Pool distributes on each cycle only to wallets that meet those conditions at the snapshot for that cycle. Holding a Digital Item does not by itself entitle you to any distribution.

11.3 Minter's Bonus. Where a Collection has enabled the Minter's Bonus, a configured share of its DIVIT Pool is reserved for wallets that minted Digital Items in that Collection's Drop, in proportion to the rules set for the Collection. The Minter's Bonus is part of the DIVIT Pool and is subject to this Section.

11.4 Claiming. Rewards are claimed on-chain. The Services generate a signed claim proof for your Wallet based on the indexed snapshot; the DIVIT Pool verifies the proof and pays the reward to your Wallet. You pay the gas for a claim. Rewards must be claimed within the period stated in the Program Rules for the Collection; where the Program Rules state no period, the period is six months from the date the reward becomes claimable. Rewards not claimed within that period are forfeited and remain in the DIVIT Pool for distribution in later cycles.

11.5 Nature of DIVIT rewards. DIVIT rewards are marketing incentives funded by Collection revenue. They are not interest, dividends, profit shares, or securities; they are not guaranteed; their amount depends entirely on the trading activity of the Collection and the split the Creator has set; and they may be zero. Creators may change DIVIT settings for future cycles as the Services allow. Nothing in the Services is investment advice, and you should not acquire a Digital Item in the expectation of DIVIT income.

11.6 Gacha and cycle features. Where a Collection enables a gacha or cycle feature, eligible holders may use their Digital Items to draw from a prize pool under rules shown in the Services. Draws are executed by a Protocol Contract using the published weight proofs for the cycle. Prizes are whatever the Collection has deposited; Unvault does not fund or guarantee prizes.

12. Creator Earnings enforcement#

12.1 Paid on every sale. Unvault pays Creator Earnings on every sale settled through the Services, for every Collection, whether or not the Collection enforces them on-chain. The rate is the one the Collection has published — in the on-chain royalty registry, through the ERC-2981 royalty standard, or as set by the Creator in the Services — and is shown before you sign.

12.2 On-chain registry. Creators may record a royalty split for a Collection in the on-chain royalty registry. Trades settled through the Protocol Contracts apply that split automatically.

12.3 Transfer validation. Collections deployed through the launchpad, and Collections upgraded through the Services, use a transfer validator that limits transfers to approved operators so that Creator Earnings cannot be bypassed by trading on venues that ignore them. A Creator may choose the validator security level; higher levels block more operators.

12.4 Limits. Enforcement operates within the rules of the relevant contracts. Unvault pays Creator Earnings on trades settled through the Services; it does not control, and does not guarantee, what happens on other venues or in direct transfers, and Creators are responsible for their own configuration.

13. Fees and taxes#

13.1 Marketplace Fee. Unvault charges a Marketplace Fee of 0.5% of the sale price on each secondary sale settled through the Protocol Contracts — a fixed-price purchase, an auction settlement, or an accepted offer — deducted from the seller's proceeds and paid to the fee recipient address configured in the settlement contract. The Marketplace Fee is shown before you sign a listing, offer, or purchase.

13.2 Launchpad Fee. Unvault charges a Launchpad Fee of 10% of the mint price on each primary mint through the launchpad, taken from the mint proceeds before they are paid to the Creator. The Launchpad Fee is shown to Creators when they publish a Drop and to minters on the Drop page.

13.3 Swap Fee. Unvault charges a Swap Fee of 10% of the trade amount on each swap into or out of a Liquidity Pool — that is, on each purchase from a Pool and each sale to a Pool. The Swap Fee is separate from any fee the Pool owner sets under Section 8.1 and is shown in every quote.

13.4 Vault Fee. Unvault charges a Vault Fee of 0.69 USDC for each vault or unvault move, payable when you confirm the move on the origin network. The Vault Fee is in addition to the network gas and the cross-chain messaging fee described in Section 10.3.

13.5 Amounts set by others. Creator Earnings are set by each Collection and paid under Section 12. Pool owners set their own Pool fee under Section 8.1. Creators set mint prices. The DIVIT split is set by the Creator under Section 11. All of these are shown before you confirm.

13.6 Network and messaging fees. Gas, cross-chain messaging fees, and cross-chain payment provider fees are charged by third parties and shown before you confirm. Unvault receives none of them.

13.7 Changes. We may change any Unvault Fee or introduce fees for new features with at least 14 days' notice through the Services. A fee change does not affect Orders already signed at the old fee. The current fees are always listed in the Fee Schedule.

13.8 Taxes. You are responsible for determining and paying any taxes that apply to your activity on the Services, including on sales, mints, DIVIT rewards, and promotional rewards. Unvault does not withhold taxes or provide tax advice. Your on-chain activity is a public record you can use for your own reporting.

14. Rewards and promotions#

14.1 Campaigns. From time to time Unvault or a Creator may run promotional campaigns, such as rewards for posting about a Collection on X and claiming through the Services. Each campaign has its own Program Rules shown in the Services, which form part of these Terms for that campaign. Campaign rewards must be claimed within the period stated in the Program Rules; where the Program Rules state no period, the period is six months from the date the reward becomes claimable. Rewards not claimed within that period are forfeited and return to the campaign's funder.

14.2 Disclosure. If you receive or may receive a reward for posting, you must disclose it clearly in the post as required by the laws that apply to you (for example, using X's paid-partnership label and the tag #ad). Posts that omit required disclosure are ineligible.

14.3 Where campaigns are available. Unless a campaign's rules say otherwise, post-to-claim campaigns are not open to residents of the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Australia. Rewards may be withheld for automated, duplicate, misleading, or abusive activity.

15. Verification badges and labels#

15.1 Badges. Unvault may display a badge next to a Collection or profile to indicate that Unvault has confirmed the identity of its Creator or its status as a partnered Collection. A badge is a statement about identity or partnership only; it is not an endorsement, an audit, or a statement about the value or legality of a Collection.

15.2 Labels. Unvault may display warning labels (for example, "reported" or "contested") on Collections or items under the Disputed Items Policy, and may hide Collections that violate Section 17 from search and discovery.

15.3 Applying and removal. Creators may apply for a badge through support@unvault.com. Unvault grants, declines, and removes badges at its discretion and may remove a badge without notice where a Collection or its Creator violates these Terms.

Part C — Rules#

16. Conduct rules#

You agree not to, and not to help anyone else to:

(a) use the Services in violation of any law, including sanctions, anti-money-laundering, securities, consumer-protection, tax, and intellectual-property laws;
(b) manipulate prices or volume, including wash trading between wallets you control, bidding on your own items, or coordinating trades to mislead others;
(c) front-run or exploit other users' Orders using information obtained from the Services;
(d) interfere with the Services, including by probing or attacking our systems, circumventing rate limits or access controls, or introducing malware;
(e) scrape, harvest, or bulk-extract data from the Services other than through the published APIs under Section 21;
(f) impersonate any person, Collection, or organisation, or misrepresent your affiliation with Unvault or the Foundation;
(g) use the Services to distribute spam, phishing links, or unsolicited promotion;
(h) exploit a bug or unintended behaviour of the Services or of a Protocol Contract for gain, instead of reporting it under our responsible-disclosure process at security@unvault.com;
(i) create or use multiple wallets or accounts to evade limits, eligibility rules, or a suspension; or
(j) use the Services on behalf of a person who may not use them under Section 4.

17. Content standards#

17.1 Prohibited content. You may not use the Services to list, mint, promote, or display content that:

(a) infringes another person's copyright, trademark, patent, publicity rights, or other rights, including Collections that copy the artwork or name of another Collection;
(b) is sexually explicit, or sexualises minors in any way (content sexualising minors is reported to the authorities);
(c) promotes hatred, violence, or discrimination against people based on a protected characteristic, or glorifies terrorism or serious crime;
(d) is used for fraud, including rug-pull schemes, fake giveaways, counterfeit assets, or misleading claims about utility, backing, or returns;
(e) contains personal data of another person published without their consent;
(f) contains malware, links to phishing sites, or code designed to harm users;
(g) tokenises stolen or unlawfully obtained property, or represents that it confers rights it does not confer; or
(h) violates sanctions or export-control laws.

17.2 What Unvault does about it. Unvault may remove content from the Services, hide it from search, add labels, restrict a Collection or Wallet, and refuse to display or index a Collection. These are interface-level actions: they change what the Services show and permit, not what exists on-chain. Because Unvault has no control over the Protocol Contracts' deployed logic or over the underlying networks, removing an item from the Services does not delete the item, and Unvault cannot burn, freeze, or transfer any Digital Item.

17.3 Reporting. Anyone can report content through the "Report" control in the Services or by emailing trust@unvault.com. Copyright complaints follow the Copyright Policy; trademark complaints follow the Trademark Policy; stolen-item reports follow the Disputed Items Policy. For notices under the EU Digital Services Act, our point of contact is legal@unvault.com.

18. Your content#

18.1 Ownership. You keep whatever rights you hold in the artwork, metadata, names, profile content, and other material you submit to or make available through the Services (Your Content). Rights in a Digital Item are governed by the licence, if any, granted by its Creator; Unvault does not grant or transfer rights in Digital Items.

18.2 Licence to Unvault. So that we can run the Services, you grant Unvault a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, cache, index, reproduce, display, adapt (for formatting and thumbnails), and distribute Your Content in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Services, for as long as Your Content is available through the Services and for a reasonable period afterwards for caching and backups. For Collections you launch, this licence also allows Unvault to display the Collection's artwork and name in listings, search results, social previews, and marketing for the Services.

18.3 Your promises about Your Content. You confirm that you have the rights needed to grant the licence in Section 18.2, that Your Content complies with Section 17, and that its display through the Services does not violate any agreement you have with a third party.

18.4 Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions about the Services, we may use them without obligation to you.

19. Unvault's and the Foundation's rights#

19.1 The Services. The Services, including their software, design, text, graphics, and data compilations, are owned by Unvault or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may use the Services only as these Terms allow. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer (except where the law allows it despite this restriction), or create derivative works of the Services.

19.2 The Protocol Contracts. The Protocol Contracts and the inventions they embody are owned by the Foundation. The Foundation's rights include patent applications PCT/US25/55750 (filed 17 November 2025) and U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/985,753 (filed 18 February 2026), which relate to cross-chain digital-asset interoperability, canonical identity mapping, multi-network token state synchronisation, vaulting and activation control, marketplace routing, and royalty enforcement. Calling a Protocol Contract as a user does not grant you any licence to reproduce or deploy it.

19.3 Marks. UNVAULT, the Unvault logo, BUGZ, GENESIS BUGZ, DIVIT, and our other names, logos, and product names are trademarks of Unvault LLC, licensed to Unvault (BVI) Ltd (the Unvault Marks). The Trademark Policy explains what use is permitted.

19.4 Open-source components. Where a component of the Services or a Protocol Contract is released under an open-source licence, that licence governs that component to the extent of any conflict with this Section.

20. Third-party services and networks#

20.1 Networks. The Supported Networks are public infrastructure that no one, including Unvault or the Foundation, controls. Network congestion, forks, reorganisations, outages, and changes to network rules can affect your transactions, and Unvault is not responsible for them.

20.2 Providers. The Services rely on third-party providers, including wallet software, the LayerZero messaging network, Particle Network universal accounts, the Seaport settlement protocol, cross-chain payment providers, RPC and indexing providers, block explorers, and decentralised storage networks. Each is provided under its own terms, and Unvault is not responsible for their performance, security, or availability.

20.3 Links and integrations. The Services may link to or display third-party websites and Collections. Unvault does not endorse them and is not responsible for their content or practices.

21. Developer access#

21.1 APIs. Unvault may provide APIs and developer documentation at docs.unvault.com, including the API terms and attribution rules. API access may require a key. You must keep keys confidential, use them only for the application you registered, and respect the rate limits and usage rules published in the documentation.

21.2 Restrictions. You may not use the APIs to build a service that misrepresents its source, that violates Section 16 or 17, that resells raw Unvault data, or that competes with the Services by copying their data wholesale. Unvault may revoke keys and change or discontinue APIs, giving reasonable notice where practical.

21.3 Attribution. Applications that display data obtained from the APIs must identify Unvault as the source in a way the documentation describes.

22. Reports, enforcement, and appeals#

22.1 Enforcement. Where Unvault reasonably believes that you have violated these Terms, it may warn you, remove or label content, restrict features, suspend or terminate your access to the Services, withhold badges or promotional rewards, and report conduct to the authorities. Unvault will tell you the reason where the law allows and where doing so would not compromise an investigation or the safety of others.

22.2 Appeals. You may appeal an enforcement decision by emailing trust@unvault.com within 30 days, explaining why you believe the decision was wrong and attaching any evidence. A person who did not make the original decision will review the appeal and respond within 14 days of receiving a complete appeal.

22.3 On-chain state. No enforcement action by Unvault changes the on-chain ownership of any Digital Item or the operation of any Protocol Contract.

Part D — Legal#

23. Risks you accept#

By using the Services you acknowledge and accept that:

(a) blockchain transactions are irreversible, and errors in an address, amount, network, or Order cannot be corrected by Unvault;
(b) smart contracts, including the Protocol Contracts and third-party protocols, can contain bugs or be exploited, and funds or Digital Items in a contract can be lost;
(c) cross-chain messaging can fail or be delayed, and a vaulted item may be inaccessible while a message is in transit;
(d) the value of Digital Items and tokens is volatile and can fall to zero; Creator Earnings and DIVIT rewards depend on trading activity that may not occur;
(e) losing your private keys means losing access to your assets permanently;
(f) Creators, counterparties, and other users may act dishonestly, and Unvault does not vet them;
(g) the regulatory treatment of Digital Items, DIVIT rewards, and related activity is uncertain and may change, and new laws could restrict the Services;
(h) the Services may be unavailable, and indexed data may lag or contain errors; and
(i) you are responsible for your own decisions, and nothing in the Services is financial, legal, or tax advice.

24. No warranties#

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, Unvault and the Foundation disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. Unvault does not warrant that any Digital Item is authentic, lawful, or as described by its Creator, or that any Protocol Contract will operate as intended.

25. Limits on liability#

25.1 Excluded losses. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither Unvault nor the Foundation, nor their directors, officers, council members, employees, contractors, or agents, will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, loss of Digital Items or tokens, loss of goodwill, or the cost of substitute services, arising out of or relating to the Services, the Protocol Contracts, or these Terms, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility.

25.2 Cap. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of Unvault and the Foundation together for all claims arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) US$100 and (b) the Unvault Fees you paid to Unvault in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

25.3 Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for any liability that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose law gives you rights that these Terms cannot override, those rights are unaffected.

26. Your indemnity#

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Unvault, the Foundation, and their directors, officers, council members, employees, contractors, and agents from any claim, loss, liability, and expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from (a) Your Content, including any Collection or Drop you launch; (b) your violation of these Terms or of any law; (c) your violation of a third party's rights; or (d) any dispute between you and another user. We may assume control of the defence of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate.

27. Suspension and termination#

27.1 By you. You may stop using the Services at any time. Disconnecting your Wallet ends your session; because the Services are non-custodial, there is no account balance to withdraw. To have your profile data deleted, email support@unvault.com from an address you can verify.

27.2 By us. We may suspend or end your access to the Services at any time for violation of these Terms, for legal or regulatory reasons, to protect the Services or other users, or if we discontinue the Services. Where practical we will give notice.

27.3 Effect. Termination does not affect on-chain assets, signed Orders that remain valid on-chain, or the Protocol Contracts. Sections 2.2, 6, 13.8, 18.2 (for the period stated there), 19, and 23 through 30 survive termination.

28. Resolving disputes#

28.1 Talk to us first. Before starting arbitration or any court proceeding (other than small-claims), you agree to send a written description of the dispute, your Wallet address, and what you want us to do to legal@unvault.com, and to give us 60 days to resolve it informally. We will do the same before bringing a claim against you.

28.2 Agreement to arbitrate. Except as stated in Sections 28.7, 28.8, and 28.9, any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Unvault (or the Foundation as a third-party beneficiary) arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, the Protocol Contracts, or your relationship with Unvault — including disputes about the scope or enforceability of this Section — will be resolved by binding individual arbitration and not in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

28.3 Rules and forum. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules where they apply and otherwise under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Section. The seat and place of arbitration is Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Hearings may be held by video conference at either party's request, and claims under US$25,000 will be decided on written submissions unless the arbitrator finds a hearing necessary. One arbitrator will be appointed under the AAA rules. The arbitrator may award any relief a court could award to the individual claimant, and the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

28.4 Costs. Filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees are allocated under the AAA rules. Where your claim is for US$10,000 or less and is not frivolous, Unvault will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees. Each party bears its own legal fees unless the arbitrator awards fees under applicable law or finds that a claim was brought for an improper purpose.

28.5 No class or representative proceedings. You and Unvault agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this Section 28.5 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) must be brought in court under Section 29, and the rest of this Section 28 continues to apply.

28.6 Coordinated filings. If 25 or more claimants bring similar arbitration demands against Unvault with the same or coordinated counsel, the demands will be resolved in batches of 25, each batch assigned to a single arbitrator, and the parties will cooperate with the AAA to establish an efficient schedule. The statute of limitations is tolled for claims awaiting a batch.

28.7 Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court in Clark County, Nevada, or in the county where you live, if the claim qualifies; and (b) seek an injunction or other equitable relief in court to protect intellectual-property rights or to stop unauthorised use of the Services or the Protocol Contracts.

28.8 Opt-out. You may opt out of Sections 28.2 through 28.6 by emailing legal@unvault.com with the subject "Arbitration opt-out", your name, and your Wallet address within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms. If you opt out, or where a claim is not subject to arbitration, Section 29 governs the forum.

28.9 Consumers outside the United States. If you live in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose consumer-protection law prevents mandatory pre-dispute arbitration or the choice of law in Section 29 from applying to you, this Section applies only to the extent permitted, and you keep the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your home country under its mandatory consumer laws.

29. Governing law and courts#

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services, are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, for arbitration procedure, by the Federal Arbitration Act. Subject to Section 28, the state and federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada have exclusive jurisdiction over any court proceeding, and you and Unvault submit to their personal jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

30. Everything else#

30.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, with the documents incorporated in Section 1.3, are the entire agreement between you and Unvault about the Services and replace any earlier terms.

30.2 Assignment. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms. Unvault may assign these Terms to an affiliate, to the Foundation, or to a successor in connection with a reorganisation, merger, or sale of assets, and will give notice through the Services.

30.3 Notices. We may give you notice through the Services, by posting at support.unvault.com, or by email if you have given us an address. Legal notices to Unvault must be sent to legal@unvault.com and, for formal service, to Unvault (BVI) Ltd, c/o Leeward (BVI) Limited, Suite 5, Oleander Building, Port Purcell, Tortola, VG1110, British Virgin Islands.

30.4 Severability and waiver. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the rest of these Terms remain in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

30.5 Force majeure. Unvault is not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including network outages, protocol failures, acts of government, and attacks on infrastructure.

30.6 Export controls. You will not use or export the Services in violation of United States or other applicable export-control laws.

30.7 Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience only, and the English version controls.

30.8 Contact. Questions about these Terms: legal@unvault.com. General support: support@unvault.com. Security reports: security@unvault.com.
