These terms of use are entered into by and between you and Deodar Grove Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, "Grove," "we" or "us"). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, "Terms of Use") govern your access to and use of the Grove App, including any software, products, content, functionality, and services offered on or through the Website (collectively with the Website, the "Services").

Please read these Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Services. By using the Services or by clicking to accept or agree to these Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and to abide by these Terms of Use, including our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use, you must not access or use the Services.

The Services are offered and available to users who meet the eligibility criteria set out in Section 1 below, including that, if you are a natural person, you are 18 years of age or older.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: THESE TERMS OF USE CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, REQUIRING YOU TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, SUBJECT TO LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, RATHER THAN IN COURT, AND REQUIRING YOU TO FOREGO JURY TRIALS, CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AGGREGATE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, AND ALL OTHER TYPES OF COURT PROCEEDINGS OF ANY AND EVERY KIND. YOU WILL BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BY FOLLOWING THE OPT-OUT PROCEDURES SET FORTH BELOW.

2. Technical Services Only

THE SERVICES INCLUDE TECHNICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR USERS TO ACCESS AND INTERACT WITH ON CHAIN SMART CONTRACTS THAT FUNCTION DETERMINISTICALLY AND ARE NOT OPERATED OR CONTROLLED BY US, AND INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, AN INTERFACE, WHICH ALLOWS USERS TO DIRECTLY INTERACT WITH THE FULLY NON CUSTODIAL, DECENTRALIZED SOFTWARE PROTOCOL, KNOWN AS THE "GROVE PROTOCOL," WHICH OPERATES ON A PERMISSIONLESS PUBLIC BLOCKCHAIN, AS WELL AS OTHER SIMILAR PROTOCOLS. THE SERVICES ARE DISTINCT FROM THE GROVE PROTOCOL AND PROVIDE ONE, BUT NOT THE EXCLUSIVE, MEANS OF ACCESSING THE GROVE PROTOCOL. THE GROVE PROTOCOL CONSISTS OF OPEN SOURCE, SELF EXECUTING, AUTONOMOUS SMART CONTRACTS THAT ARE DEPLOYED ON THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN. GROVE IS NOT A BROKER, DEALER, EXCHANGE, INVESTMENT ADVISER, CUSTODIAN OR FINANCIAL SERVICE PROVIDER OF ANY KIND. WE DO NOT HAVE A FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP OR OBLIGATION TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE SERVICES.

3. Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page frequently, so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

4. Accessing the Services and Account Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Services in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if, for any reason, all or any part of the Services is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to all or some parts of Services, including the entire Website.

Certain features of the Services may be accessible without creating or registering an account with us (an "Account"). However, access to some functionality may require you to create an Account and/or connect a compatible third-party digital wallet application or device ("Wallet"). We may modify the features available with or without an Account at any time in our sole discretion.

To access the Services, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Services that all the information you provide to us is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register with this Website or otherwise, including through the use of any interactive features on the Services, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

If you create an Account, you may be required to choose or be provided with a user name, password, or other security credentials as part of our security procedures (collectively, "Account Credentials"). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account Credentials and for all activities that occur under your Account. You must treat your Account Credentials as confidential, and you must not disclose them to any other person or entity. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security.

We have the right to disable your Account at any time in our sole discretion, for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use. We may use third-party compliance or blockchain analytics tools to screen Wallet addresses in connection with the Services. Based on such screening or other risk considerations, we may deny, restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Website or Services in our sole discretion.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account, your Account Credentials, and any private keys used with the Website or any Wallet used in connection with the Website.

5. Fees

We do not currently charge any fees for use of the Website. However, your use of the Services may be subject to third-party fees, including blockchain network fees (such as gas fees), validator fees, Wallet provider fees, bridge fees, or other transaction-related charges imposed by third parties ("Third-Party Fees"). You are solely responsible for paying all such Third-Party Fees. We do not receive, control, or determine Third-Party Fees, and we have no ability to reverse, cancel, or refund any transaction conducted through the Services or any amounts paid in connection therewith, including amounts paid in error. We reserve the right to introduce fees for certain features of the Services in the future.

6. Rewards and Points Programs

From time to time, you may have an opportunity to participate in rewards programs, points programs, promotional campaigns, or other reward or incentive initiatives organized or endorsed by us (each, a "Program"). By participating in any Program, you agree to the provisions in this section and any additional terms, eligibility criteria, or rules applicable to that Program.

Programs may invite participants to complete certain eligible actions to receive reputation indicators, points, digital assets, or other intangible rewards (collectively, "Rewards"). Rewards may include intangible engagement points ("Points") or, in certain Programs, digital assets provided in collaboration with third-party partners.

Points are for community engagement and promotional purposes only. Points have no monetary value, are non-transferable, and do not constitute any currency, property, or any right to receive any currency or property or other item of value. Points are not redeemable, refundable, or exchangeable for anything of value and may be modified, revoked, suspended, or discontinued at any time in our sole discretion.

Where a Program provides for the distribution of digital assets, such Rewards (if any) may be funded, sponsored, or offered in collaboration with third-party protocols or projects. We do not guarantee the availability, value, liquidity, or continued existence of any such digital asset Reward.

Each Program is subject to its respective eligibility criteria and rules, which may be published and updated by us from time to time. You acknowledge and agree that our determination of eligibility, Points balances, and the distribution of any Rewards shall be final and binding, and you agree not to contest our determination.

We may impose claim procedures, verification requirements, deadlines, expiration terms, or other conditions on Rewards. Unclaimed or unverified Rewards may expire, be forfeited, or be reallocated in our sole discretion in accordance with the applicable Program rules.

We reserve the right to publish a leaderboard or other ranking feature displaying Wallet addresses associated with the highest Points or other Program activity. You acknowledge and agree that any such publication may associate your Wallet address with your participation in a Program.

Participation in a Program is voluntary and does not guarantee that a participant will receive Rewards. You assume all risks of participation in a Program, including but not limited to technical failures, smart contract vulnerabilities, regulatory changes, and market volatility. You are solely responsible for assessing legal, regulatory, and tax implications of participation in any Program.

We may modify, suspend, restrict, or cancel any Program or any Rewards at any time, with or without notice, and without liability. We may withhold, revoke, or disqualify participation in any Program or any Rewards if we suspect, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms of Use or applicable Program rules; engaged in abusive, fraudulent, manipulative, deceptive, or unfair conduct (including Sybil attacks); attempted to circumvent eligibility requirements or technical safeguards; or otherwise acted in bad faith. We may also withhold, restrict, or decline to distribute any Rewards if distribution would violate applicable law, sanctions restrictions, or our compliance obligations.

Programs may restrict or prohibit participation by users in certain jurisdictions as required by applicable law or as specified in the applicable Program rules.

11. Transactions

a) Transaction Messages

The Services may include the functionality to generate a draft transaction message (a "Transaction Message") that you can independently use in connection with a Wallet to conduct transactions ("Blockchain Transactions") on the Ethereum network or any related protocol. You must personally review and authorize all Transaction Messages that you wish to send on any blockchain system.

You acknowledge and agree that any yield, interest, or other return you may earn in connection with any Blockchain Transactions is determined solely by the applicable smart contracts and their protocol logic, and not by us.

We, and the Services, are not your agents, intermediaries, brokers, custodians, or fiduciaries, do not store or have access to or control over any tokens, digital assets, private keys, passwords, accounts, or other property, and are not capable of performing transactions or sending Transaction Messages on your behalf. We do not hold and cannot purchase, sell, or trade any tokens or digital assets. All Blockchain Transactions are effected and recorded solely through your interactions with validators and the applicable blockchain system.

Blockchain Transactions are irreversible once confirmed on the applicable blockchain. We have no ability to reverse, cancel, or modify any Blockchain Transaction.

b) Token Lists and Token Identification

In providing information about tokens, the Services may associate or presume the association of a token name, symbol or logo with a specific smart contract deployed to one or more blockchain systems. In making such associations, the Services rely upon third-party resources, which may not be accurate or may not conform to your expectations.

Multiple smart contracts can utilize the same token name or token symbol, meaning that the name or symbol of a token does not guarantee that it is the token desired by you or generally associated with such name or symbol. You must not rely solely on the name, symbol, or branding of a token as displayed via the Services, but instead must examine the specific smart contract associated with the name, symbol or branding and confirm that the token accords with your expectations.

We make no representations or warranties regarding the authenticity, uniqueness, legality, or functionality of any token displayed through the Services.

12. User Contributions

The Services may contain message boards, chat rooms, personal web pages or profiles, forums, bulletin boards, and other interactive features (collectively, "Interactive Services") that allow users to post, submit, publish, display, or transmit to other users or other persons (hereinafter, "post") content or materials (collectively, "User Contributions") on or through the Services.

All User Contributions must comply with the Content Standards set out in these Terms of Use.

Any User Contribution you post to the Services will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. By providing any User Contribution on the Services, you grant us and our service providers, and each of their and our respective licensees, successors, and assigns the right to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute, and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose.

You represent and warrant that:

You own or control all rights in and to the User Contributions and have the right to grant the license granted above to us and our service providers, and each of their and our respective licensees, successors, and assigns.
All of your User Contributions do and will comply with these Terms of Use.

You understand and acknowledge that you are responsible for any User Contributions you submit or contribute, and you, not Grove, have full responsibility for such content, including its legality, reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness.

We are not responsible or liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of any User Contributions posted by you or any other user of the Services.

13. Our Use of User Contributions

By posting on the Services, or otherwise providing User Contributions, you grant to Grove a royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide, unlimited, nonexclusive, irrevocable, sub-licensable and transferable license to use any User Contributions for any purpose in our sole discretion, including without limitation reproduction, transmission, disclosure, publication, broadcast, development, manufacturing, creation of derivative works, translation and/or marketing in any manner whatsoever and in any media, and in any form, format, or forum now known or hereafter developed for any or all commercial or non-commercial purposes. You agree that Grove shall be under no obligation (a) to maintain any User Contributions in confidence; (b) to pay compensation for any User Contributions; or (c) to monitor, use, return, review or respond to any User Contributions. We retain the right to remove, edit, or refuse to post, any User Contributions that include any material we deem inappropriate or unacceptable.

14. Monitoring and Enforcement; Termination

We have the right to:

Remove or refuse to post any User Contributions for any or no reason in our sole discretion.
Take any action with respect to any User Contribution that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion, including if we believe that such User Contribution violates these Terms of Use, including the Content Standards, infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal safety of users of the Services, or the public, or could create liability for Grove.
Disclose your identity or other information about you to any third party who claims that material posted by you violates their rights, including their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy.
Take appropriate legal action, including referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Services.
Terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Services for any or no reason, including any violation of these Terms of Use.

However, we do not undertake to review all material before it is posted on the Services and cannot ensure prompt removal of objectionable material after it has been posted. Accordingly, we assume no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications, or content provided by any user or third party.

15. Content Standards

The content standards set forth in this Section 15 (the "Content Standards") apply to any and all User Contributions and use of Interactive Services. User Contributions must in their entirety comply with all applicable federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, User Contributions must not:

We shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property rights, in and to such Feedback and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of this Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you. You hereby irrevocably assign to us all of your right, title and interest in and to all Feedback, including intellectual property rights.

17. Reliance on Information Posted

The information presented on or through the Services is made available solely for general information purposes. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by you or any other visitor to the Services, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.

We may update the information on this Website from time to time, but its content is not necessarily complete or up-to-date. Any of the information on the Services may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update such information.

18. Certain Uses and Risks of Blockchain Technology

a) Use of Blockchain Technology. We or third parties may utilize experimental cryptographic technologies and blockchain technologies, including tokens, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, smart contracts, consensus algorithms, voting systems and distributed, decentralized or peer-to-peer networks or systems in connection with the Services or systems about which the Services provide information. You acknowledge and agree that such technologies are novel, experimental, and speculative, and that therefore there is significant uncertainty regarding the operation and effects and risks thereof and the application of existing law thereto.

b) Certain Risks of Blockchain Technology. The technologies relevant to the Services depend on public peer-to-peer networks such as Ethereum network that are not under our control or influence and are subject to many risks and uncertainties. You are solely responsible for the safekeeping of the private key associated with the blockchain address used in connection with the Grove Protocol. We will not be able to restore or issue any refund in respect of property lost or frozen due to loss of private keys or otherwise.

c) Certain Risks of Smart Contract Technology. Digital assets relevant to the Services depend on the Grove Protocol or other smart contracts deployed to blockchain systems. The Ethereum network, the Grove Protocol, and other blockchain systems, and, once deployed to a blockchain system, a code of smart contracts, typically cannot be modified, or can only be modified in limited ways. In the event that the Ethereum network, the Grove Protocol, or other smart contracts or blockchain systems are adversely affected by malfunctions, bugs, defects, hacking, theft, attacks, negligent coding or design choices, or changes to the applicable protocol rules, you may be exposed to a risk of total loss and forfeiture of all relevant digital assets. We assume no liability or responsibility for any of the foregoing matters.

d) Asset Prices. The fiat-denominated prices and value in public markets of cryptocurrencies and tokens have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and may be highly volatile. The market value of any token may decline below the price for which you acquired such asset. You acknowledge and agree that the costs and speeds of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems are variable and may increase or decrease dramatically at any time.

e) Regulatory Uncertainty. Blockchain technologies and digital assets are subject to many legal and regulatory uncertainties, and the Ethereum network, the Grove Protocol or any tokens could be adversely impacted by one or more regulatory or legal inquiries, actions, suits, investigations, claims, fines or judgments. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services complies with applicable laws and regulations.

f) Cryptography Risks. Cryptography is a progressing field. Advances in code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to blockchain systems, the Ethereum network, the Grove Protocol or any tokens, including the theft, loss or inaccessibility thereof.

g) Fork Handling. The Ethereum network, the Grove Protocol, and all tokens may be subject to "forks." We may not be able to anticipate, control or influence the occurrence or outcome of forks, and does not assume any risk, liability or obligation in connection therewith. You assume full responsibility to independently remain apprised of and informed about possible forks, and to manage your own interests and risks in connection therewith.

h) Essential Third-Party Software Dependencies. The Services provide a convenient and user-friendly method of reading and displaying data from the Grove Protocol and generating standard Transaction Messages compatible with the Grove Protocol. Because the Services do not provide Wallet software or nodes for the Grove Protocol, such software constitutes an essential third-party or user dependency without which the Grove Protocol cannot be utilized, and tokens cannot be traded or used.

i) Savings Rate and Yield. Any yield, interest, savings rate, or other return associated with the savings functionality, the Grove Protocol, or other blockchain systems or tokens is determined solely by the applicable smart contracts and their governing protocol logic (which may include third-party protocols), and not by us. We do not set, determine, influence, or guarantee any such yield. Any rates displayed on the Services are informational only and reflect data derived from the applicable smart contracts; they do not constitute a promise, projection, or guarantee of future performance and may change at any time without notice.

j) Additional Risks Specific to Savings Functionality. Digital assets deployed to strategy-based smart contracts may be subject to automated deployment, pooling, and rebalancing. You may experience delays or partial fills on withdrawal requests subject to the operational state and liquidity of the relevant smart contract system when a given strategy's logic acts to preserve system integrity.

19. Links from the Services

If the Services contains links to other websites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your convenience only. We have no control over the contents of those websites or resources, and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked to this Website, you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of use for such websites.

The ability of the Website to connect with any third-party Wallet application or device is not an endorsement or recommendation thereof by or on behalf of us, and you assume all responsibility for selecting, evaluating and incurring the risks of any bugs, defects, malfunctions or interruptions of any third-party Wallet applications or devices you directly or indirectly use in connection with the Website.

20. Absence of Sanctions

You are not (and, if you are an entity, you are not owned or controlled by any other person who is), acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any other person who is located, ordinarily resident, organized, established, or domiciled in any country where use of the Services, the Grove Protocol, or related activities is illegal, prohibited, or requires a permit or license. You are not acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any other person who is: in contravention of any applicable laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations; a terrorist or a member of a terrorist organization; or identified on, or operationally based or domiciled in a country or territory that is included in, any list of prohibited parties maintained under applicable law by any nation or governmental authority, including the sanctions lists maintained by the United Kingdom (as extended to the Cayman Islands by statutory instrument), the United Nations, the United States government (including the U.S. Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals and Foreign Sanctions Evaders lists), or the European Union or its member states. You further represent that you are not acting as trustee, agent, representative, or nominee for any foreign shell bank. The tokens or other funds you use to participate in the Services are not derived from, and do not otherwise represent the proceeds of, any activities conducted in violation of applicable law.

21. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, NEITHER WE NOR ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH US WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY A DISTRIBUTED DENIAL-OF-SERVICE ATTACK, VIRUSES, OR OTHER TECHNOLOGICALLY HARMFUL MATERIAL THAT MAY INFECT YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, COMPUTER PROGRAMS, DATA, OR OTHER PROPRIETARY MATERIAL DUE TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. NEITHER WE NOR ANY PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH US MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, QUALITY, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, WE HEREBY DISCLAIM, ON BEHALF OF OURSELVES AND OUR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND OTHER ASSOCIATED PARTIES, ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

22. Limitation on Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COLLECTIVE LIABILITY OF GROVE AND ITS LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, AND DIRECTORS, TO ANY PARTY (REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED $100.

THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

23. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Grove and its licensors and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of the Services.

24. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration

Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (the "Arbitration Agreement") carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Grove, its successors, and assigns, and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the "Grove Parties"). It also limits the manner in which you can seek relief from the Grove Parties.

a) Informal Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in relation to these Terms of Use, the parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute amicably through good-faith negotiations. You can notify us of a dispute by emailing us at legal@grove.finance. Such notification must describe the nature and basis of the dispute and set forth the specific relief sought ("Notice"). If the dispute set out in a Notice is not resolved by negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date of notification, the dispute shall be referred to arbitration. Both you and the Grove Parties agree that this informal dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against any other party.

b) Applicability of the Arbitration Agreement. Any controversy or dispute which arise out or is related to this contract, and the interpretation, application, performance and termination thereof, must be decided by Arbitration, following an attempt at Conciliation, administered by the Panama Conciliation and Arbitration Centre (CECAP) in accordance with its procedural rules.

c) Terms of the Arbitration. The following terms shall apply to any arbitration proceedings commenced under this Agreement:

The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

d) Exclusions and Other Terms. This dispute resolution process shall not preclude either party from seeking interim or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, including relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.
