Terms of Service
Welcome to Gold DAO (“we,” “our,” “us”). By accessing or using our website, smart contracts, tokens, or related services (collectively, the “Services”), you (“you,” “your,” “User”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). Please read them carefully before using the Services.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Services.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction to use the Services.
You represent and warrant that you are not a citizen or resident of any jurisdiction in which the use of our Services is prohibited by law.
You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations.
2. Services Provided
Gold DAO facilitates decentralized access to digital assets, including the GOLDAO token and GLDT token and related smart contract protocols.
The Services may involve staking, reward distribution, governance participation, and representations of real-world assets (RWA), such as gold-backed tokens.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or permanent availability of the Services.
3. No Financial Advice
The Services are provided for informational and technological purposes only.
Gold DAO does not provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice.
You acknowledge that cryptocurrency and tokenized assets are inherently risky and may lose value. You are solely responsible for your decisions.
4. User Responsibilities
By using the Services, you agree to:
Maintain control of your private keys, wallets, and access credentials.
Use the Services only in compliance with applicable laws.
Not attempt to interfere with or exploit the Services for unlawful or fraudulent purposes.
Bear full responsibility for any transactions initiated through your wallet.
5. Token Usage
The GLDT token is a blockchain-based digital asset and does not represent legal ownership of physical gold or any equity in Gold DAO.
While GLDT may be backed or collateralized by gold reserves, Gold DAO makes no guarantee of redemption, convertibility, or liquidity.
The value of GLDT and other tokens may fluctuate significantly, including a total loss of value.
6. Integrated Risk Disclosure
By using the Services, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:
Market Risk: Digital assets are highly volatile. Prices can fluctuate widely within short periods and may result in substantial or total losses.
Smart Contract Risk: Smart contracts may contain vulnerabilities, coding errors, or exploits that could lead to loss of funds.
Custody & Wallet Risk: You are solely responsible for safeguarding your wallet and private keys. Loss of access credentials will result in permanent loss of assets.
Regulatory Risk: Digital assets and RWAs may be subject to evolving laws and regulations. Access to the Services may be restricted, suspended, or prohibited in certain jurisdictions.
Liquidity Risk: GLDT and other tokens may not have continuous market liquidity, making it difficult or impossible to buy, sell, or exchange assets at a given price.
Technology Risk: System outages, cyberattacks, malicious actors, or blockchain network failures may disrupt the Services or cause asset losses.
Counterparty & Collateral Risk: While GLDT may be linked to audited gold reserves, Gold DAO cannot guarantee against risks related to custodians, vault operators, or other third parties.
Governance Risk: Participation in DAO governance carries uncertainty, as community proposals may materially affect the Services, token economics, or governance rights.
You expressly acknowledge that you understand and assume these risks when using the Services.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
Gold DAO, its contributors, developers, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
Our aggregate liability for any claim related to the Services shall not exceed the amount you paid (if any) to use the Services.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Gold DAO, its contributors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Services or violation of these Terms.
9. Intellectual Property
All content provided through the Services, including branding, logos, text, and code, is owned by or licensed to Gold DAO.
You may not copy, reproduce, or exploit the Services except as permitted under open-source licenses (if applicable).
10. Third-Party Services
The Services may integrate or interact with third-party protocols, wallets, or exchanges.
Gold DAO is not responsible for any third-party services, and your use of them is at your own risk.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time without prior notice, particularly if you breach these Terms.
Provisions relating to disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification shall survive termination.
12. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed under the laws of Switzerland, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, unless otherwise mandated by law.
13. Amendments
We may modify or update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
