These Terms of Use (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Trinity Foundation Ltd. (“Trinity,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Singapore-based non-profit public company limited by guarantee, concerning your access to and use of the informational website located at dtrinity.org (the “Site”), the web interface located at app.dtrinity.org (the “Interface”), and the documentation located at docs.dtrinity.org (the “Documentation”), together with all materials, services, features, media, and community channels made available through them (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Restricted Region Policy, and Disclaimer (collectively, the “Agreement”). If you do not agree to the Agreement or do not meet eligibility requirements, you must immediately discontinue all access to and use of the Services.
1. Nature of the Services
The Services are made available solely for informational, educational, and user-interface purposes. Trinity does not operate, control, custody, validate, intermediate, administer, or otherwise manage the decentralized, autonomous smart contracts known collectively as the dTRINITY protocol (the “Protocol”). The Protocol is composed exclusively of open-source, self-executing smart contracts deployed on public, permissionless blockchain networks, including but not limited to Ethereum, Fraxtal, Katana, and Sonic. It functions independently of Trinity and executes actions automatically according to its code, irrespective of any decisions, actions, or omissions by Trinity.
The Protocol includes, without limitation, the decentralized stablecoin system referred to as “dUSD,” the ERC-4626 vault system and receipt tokens known as “sdUSD,” plus any other tokens generated by the Protocol’s smart contracts (collectively, the “Protocol Tokens”), the decentralized lending and borrowing system known as “dLEND,” various Stability Market Operations (”SMO”) and Algorithmic Market Operations (“AMO”) modules, liquidity pools, governance mechanisms, reward distribution logic, and additional smart contract components deployed from time to time. All transactions, minting, burning, staking, unstaking, lending, borrowing, repayment, liquidity provision, swaps, governance interactions, and related activities occur solely through such autonomous smart contracts and are not facilitated, intermediated, approved, or monitored by Trinity.
Trinity publishes and maintains the Site and the Interface as informational resources and optional user-access points to interact with the Protocol. The Interface is only one of many possible interaction methods. Accessing the Protocol directly through blockchain nodes, command-line tools, or alternative front-ends is possible and does not require use of the Interface. Trinity does not provide any custodial services, virtual asset services, money transmission services, financial intermediation services, or any other regulated activities through the Services.
2. Governance & Decentralization
You acknowledge and agree that the Protocol is fully decentralized and autonomous, and that no person or entity, including Trinity, possesses the ability, authority, or discretion to unilaterally operate, manage, modify, intervene in, or control the Protocol or its ongoing functions. All Protocol behavior is determined exclusively by the underlying smart contracts deployed on public blockchain networks.
Prior to any governance token generation event (“TGE”), limited governance- or maintenance-related actions may be performed by independent third-party developers, security researchers, auditors, community contributors, and other non-affiliated participants acting solely in a non-custodial, non-operational, and non-fiduciary capacity (“Contributor Governance”). Following the TGE, all governance authority with respect to the Protocol is intended to be exercised directly and exclusively by holders of the relevant governance tokens through on-chain voting mechanisms and decentralized, community-driven processes (“Community Governance”).
Trinity has no control over, does not direct, and expressly disclaims responsibility for any governance action, inaction, proposal, vote, parameter change, or decision undertaken by Contributor Governance or Community Governance. Trinity makes no representation or warranty regarding the correctness, security, timing, validity, or consequences of any governance-related activity, and shall bear no liability for any loss, damage, or outcome arising from or relating to such governance actions or the decentralized evolution of the Protocol.
3. Eligibility & Representations
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age, have full legal capacity to enter into binding contracts, and are not barred from accessing or using the Services under any applicable law, regulation, or governmental order, including sanctions, export controls, or geographic access prohibitions. You further represent and warrant that you are not:
(i) A citizen, resident, or organized in, or otherwise accessing the Services from, any jurisdiction that is subject to comprehensive sanctions or trade embargoes, including, without limitation, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine, the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) or Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR), or any other region or territory designated by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”);
(ii) Identified on, or owned or controlled by any person identified on, the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (“SDN List”), the OFAC Consolidated Non-SDN Sanctions Lists, the European Union consolidated sanctions list, the United Kingdom HM Treasury sanctions list, or any similar sanctions list administered by any governmental authority;
(iii) Otherwise prohibited from engaging with decentralized protocols or blockchain-based services under the laws of the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Singapore, or any other jurisdiction that has authority over you; or
(iv) Located in, resident in, or accessing the Services from any restricted region identified in the Restricted Regions Policy published within the Documentation, which is hereby incorporated by reference and forms an integral part of this Agreement. If you access the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to bind such entity to this Agreement, and that such entity likewise satisfies all eligibility, sanctions, and jurisdictional restrictions set forth herein.
4. Self-Custodial Wallets & User Responsibility
Access to the Protocol requires the use of a third-party, self-custodial digital asset wallet. Such wallets are not operated, controlled, maintained, or secured by Trinity. You are solely and exclusively responsible for the custody, security, management, and integrity of your wallet credentials, private keys, seed phrases, passwords, and recovery materials. Trinity does not have the ability to recover any lost credentials or reverse any transaction conducted through the Protocol or through the Interface.
All transactions are initiated by you and are processed automatically and irreversibly by the smart contracts. You bear all risks associated with mis-signed transactions, incorrect addresses, gas fees, slippage, network congestion, blockchain reorganizations, transaction failures, and any other technical or operational issue.
5. Protocol Tokens
You acknowledge and agree that Protocol Tokens are not payment stablecoins, are not issued or backed by any regulated financial institution, and do not constitute “payment instruments,” “payment tokens,” “e-money,” “stored value,” “redeemable stablecoins,” or any similar regulated financial product under the laws of any jurisdiction. Trinity does not intend for Protocol Tokens to constitute securities, investment contracts, financial instruments, or any other form of regulated investment product, and no person or entity provides any expectation of profit, return, or appreciation arising from the managerial or entrepreneurial efforts of Trinity or any other party.
Protocol Tokens are autonomously minted and burned by decentralized smart contracts in accordance with algorithmic parameters and on-chain reserve logic. The ERC-4626 vault tokens issued by the Protocol represent algorithmic and proportional interests in on-chain smart contract vaults. They do not represent any legal right of redemption, repayment, convertibility, or claim against Trinity or any other person or entity, whether in fiat currency, other digital assets, or any off-chain asset.
No individual or entity, including Trinity, guarantees the stability, peg, liquidity, redemption value, convertibility, or market behavior of any Protocol Token. You understand and agree that Protocol Tokens may fluctuate materially in value; may trade at, above, or below reference values; may experience periods of illiquidity; and may, in extreme circumstances, lose all market value. A Protocol Token’s value may increase or decrease as a result of reserve/collateral integrity, interest rate mechanics, liquidation events, SMO/AMO behavior, utilization dynamics, and market conditions. No yield, return, or appreciation is guaranteed, and no Protocol Token should be relied upon as a savings product, investment product, or payment instrument.
For the avoidance of doubt, Trinity does not issue, offer, sell, redeem, guarantee, underwrite, back, or operate any payment stablecoin or any instrument purporting to maintain a fixed redemption value. Trinity likewise does not issue, offer, sell, guarantee, or underwrite any security, investment contract, financial instrument, or other regulated investment product. All actions relating to the minting, burning, valuation, or transfer of Protocol Tokens occur exclusively through autonomous smart contracts deployed on public blockchains.
6. Assumption of Risk
You acknowledge and agree that interacting with blockchain-based smart contracts, decentralized stablecoin systems, algorithmic liquidity mechanisms, automated vaults, lending markets, and similar decentralized technologies involves substantial, inherent, and unavoidable risks. Such risks include, without limitation: smart contract defects, bugs, exploits, design flaws, or failures; cyberattacks, hacking incidents, phishing, key compromise, or unauthorized access; oracle delays, inaccuracies, failures, manipulation, or corruption; adverse market conditions, extreme volatility, liquidity crises, market contagion, loss of peg or depegging events, impaired arbitrage mechanisms, liquidation cascades, bank-run dynamics, or total collapse of market value; governance attacks, malicious proposals, contentious upgrades, parameter misconfigurations, or unexpected governance outcomes; SMO/AMO malfunction or misalignment, imbalance or failure of automated liquidity operations, unintended economic feedback loops, or destabilizing protocol interactions; cross-chain bridge vulnerabilities, validator failures, or consensus-layer attacks; failures, interruptions, or congestion within the underlying blockchain networks, including network forks, reorganizations, consensus failures, degraded throughput, or inability to process transactions; gas spikes, miner or validator extractable value (MEV), front-running, sandwich attacks, or mempool manipulation; incompatibility or failure of third-party wallets, interfaces, nodes, RPC endpoints, or infrastructure providers; regulatory, legal, or policy changes impacting access to blockchain networks or Protocol interactions; and any other operational, technical, economic, or security risk, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable.
You further acknowledge that these risks may result in irreversible loss of digital assets, total loss of value, inability to access or control assets, or permanent loss of the ability to interact with the Protocol. By accessing the Services or interacting with the Protocol, you voluntarily, knowingly, and expressly assume all such risks, including those that arise from the actions or omissions of third parties and those that are unknown, unpredictable, or not reasonably foreseeable at the time of acceptance of these Terms.
7. No Advice; No Fiduciary Duties
The information made available through the Services is provided solely for general, non-professional, and informational purposes and does not constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, financial, investment, legal, accounting, tax, regulatory, behavioral, trading, valuation, or any other form of professional or personalized advice. Nothing in the Services is intended to, or shall be interpreted to, recommend, solicit, encourage, promote, or advise the purchase, sale, holding, minting, burning, staking, depositing, lending, borrowing, repaying, or use of any digital asset, Protocol Token, or other instrument. Trinity does not act, and shall not be deemed to act, as your broker, dealer, agent, fiduciary, investment adviser, investment manager, commodity trading adviser, intermediary, custodian, or representative in any capacity whatsoever. No communication, data display, user interface element, analytics metric, yield projection, simulated output, or other content provided through the Services creates or imposes any duty of care, advisory obligation, or relationship of trust or confidence between you and Trinity.
All decisions made by you in connection with the Services or the Protocol are entirely your own, based solely on your independent judgment and research, and you bear exclusive responsibility for evaluating all associated risks, outcomes, and consequences. You agree that you will not rely on the Services as a basis for any financial or transactional decision and that you will consult your own professional advisers as you deem appropriate.
8. Accuracy of Information
You acknowledge and agree that all content made available through the Services is provided strictly on an “as is,” “as available,” and “with all faults” basis. Such content may be incomplete, outdated, incorrect, imprecise, delayed, interrupted, corrupted, or otherwise unreliable, and may contain typographical errors, calculation errors, misstatements, omissions, data feed failures, or software or display malfunctions. Without limiting the foregoing, you understand that any APY displays, risk indicators, peg metrics, volatility indicators, oracle data, price feeds, utilization metrics, vault parameters, system health metrics, analytic outputs, model projections, estimated returns, or any other figures or information presented on the Interface or the Services may materially diverge from actual on-chain conditions, may fail to update or refresh, may reflect stale or partial blockchain data, and may not accurately represent current or future Protocol behavior. You further acknowledge that such informational displays are provided solely for general informational purposes, may be subject to significant error, and must not be relied upon as accurate, complete, current, or authoritative for any purpose, including for making financial, transactional, or governance decisions. Trinity expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any such information or for any actions taken or not taken in reliance thereon.
9. Prohibited Use
You agree that you will not use, access, or attempt to use or access the Services or the Protocol for any purpose or in any manner that violates any applicable law, regulation, governmental order, sanctions restriction, or the rights of any person or entity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you further agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, engage in, attempt to engage in, or encourage any third party to engage in any activity that:
(i) Exploits, attacks, manipulates, interferes with, disrupts, overloads, or otherwise harms the Protocol, the Services, any smart contract, blockchain network, or any related infrastructure;
(ii) Probes, scans, tests, or attempts to circumvent any security measure, access control mechanism, rate limit, or technological protection implemented in connection with the Services or the Protocol;
(iii) Reverse engineers, decompiles, disassembles, copies, scrapes, harvests, or otherwise attempts to derive or obtain the source code, underlying structure, data, or non-public information relating to the Services or Protocol;
(iv) Engages in any exploitative or abusive behavior, including smart contract exploits, flash-loan attacks, governance attacks, oracle manipulation, manipulative MEV extraction, or any conduct intended or reasonably expected to manipulate Protocol behavior or obtain an unfair or unintended advantage;
(v) Introduces any virus, worm, trojan, malware, harmful code, or other item intended to damage, interfere with, or impair the functionality or security of the Services, the Protocol, or any blockchain network;
(vi) Uses the Services or Protocol to engage in fraud, deception, misappropriation, money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, market manipulation, or any other unlawful or unethical activity;
(vii) Impersonates any person or entity, misrepresents your affiliation with any person or entity, or submits false or misleading information;
(viii) Uses automated scripts, bots, crawlers, scrapers, or other automated tools (other than generally available web browsers) to access, interact with, or extract data from the Services;
(ix) Uses the Services for any unauthorized commercial purpose, including unsolicited advertising or solicitation; or
(x) Attempts to interfere with, subvert, manipulate, or improperly influence any governance process associated with the Protocol.
You acknowledge that any such prohibited conduct constitutes a material breach of these Terms and may result in restricted access, termination, or other remedial actions as Trinity deems necessary or appropriate under applicable law.
10. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES, THE SITE, THE INTERFACE, AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, DATA, FUNCTIONALITY, AND MATERIALS MADE AVAILABLE THEREIN OR THEREBY ARE PROVIDED STRICTLY ON AN “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, TRINITY DOES NOT WARRANT, REPRESENT, OR GUARANTEE THAT: (I) THE SERVICES OR THE PROTOCOL WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, DELAY, ERROR, FAILURE, OR DEFECT; (II) ANY DATA, ANALYTICS, METRICS, APY DISPLAYS, RISK INDICATORS, PRICES, OR OTHER INFORMATION PRESENTED THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, CORRECT, TIMELY, OR RELIABLE; (III) THE SERVICES OR THE PROTOCOL WILL BE SECURE, FREE FROM MALWARE OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR IMMUNE FROM HACKING, EXPLOITATION, CYBERATTACK, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS; (IV) ANY SMART CONTRACTS, ORACLES, BRIDGES, BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS, THIRD-PARTY WALLETS, OR INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS WILL FUNCTION AS INTENDED OR WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME; OR (V) THE SERVICES OR THE PROTOCOL WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH ANY USER SYSTEM, WALLET, SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, NETWORK, OR DEVICE.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY UPDATES PROVIDED BY TRINITY ARE VOLUNTARY AND DO NOT CREATE ANY ONGOING OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER TO MONITOR, UPDATE, MAINTAIN, PATCH, CORRECT, AUDIT, OR OTHERWISE MODIFY THE SERVICES, THE INTERFACE, OR ANY PROTOCOL COMPONENT, NOR TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, ERROR CORRECTION, SECURITY RESPONSE, OR CONTINUED ACCESS. ANY USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE PROTOCOL IS UNDERTAKEN SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
NO STATEMENT, DESCRIPTION, EXAMPLE, DEMONSTRATION, DATA DISPLAY, METRIC, ANALYTIC OUTPUT, BLOG POST, COMMENT, SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNICATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATION MADE BY TRINITY—WHETHER THROUGH THE SERVICES, IN DOCUMENTATION, OR IN ANY OTHER CONTEXT—SHALL BE DEEMED OR INTERPRETED AS A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. NO INFORMATION OR COMMUNICATION FROM TRINITY CREATES ANY DUTY OF CARE, FIDUCIARY OBLIGATION, OR PROFESSIONAL RELIANCE RELATIONSHIP. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY NOT AND WILL NOT RELY ON ANY SUCH INFORMATION OR COMMUNICATION FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL TRINITY, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, CONTRIBUTORS, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “TRINITY PARTIES”) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY FORM OF DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND—WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, ENHANCED, MULTIPLIED, OR OTHERWISE—INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION: LOSS OF DIGITAL ASSETS OR TOKENS; LOSS OF ACCESS TO A WALLET OR PRIVATE KEYS; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OR OPPORTUNITY; LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL, OR REPUTATION; MARKET VOLATILITY OR PRICE FLUCTUATION; DEPEG OR LOSS OF STABILITY OF ANY PROTOCOL TOKEN; LIQUIDATION LOSSES OR LIQUIDITY SHORTAGES; FAILURE OF SMART CONTRACTS, ORACLES, BRIDGES, OR BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS; GOVERNANCE ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS; AMO BEHAVIOR OR MISALIGNMENT; PARAMETER CHANGES; TECHNICAL ERRORS, BUGS, OR VULNERABILITIES; UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, CYBERATTACK, EXPLOIT, OR MALICIOUS ACTIVITY; INTERRUPTIONS OR CESSATIONS OF SERVICE; NETWORK OUTAGES OR CONGESTION; REGULATORY ACTIONS, LEGAL RESTRICTIONS, OR CHANGES IN LAW; OR ANY OTHER LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES, THE INTERFACE, THE SITE, THE PROTOCOL, OR THESE TERMS.
THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY ASSERTED—INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, EQUITY, STATUTE, WARRANTY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY—AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY TRINITY PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN THEM. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SERVICES AND THE PROTOCOL ARE INHERENTLY EXPERIMENTAL, DECENTRALIZED TECHNOLOGIES AND THAT ALL RISKS OF USE REST SOLELY WITH YOU.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU AGREE THAT TRINITY SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY ACTION, INACTION, OR DECISION OF CONTRIBUTOR GOVERNANCE, COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE, TOKEN HOLDERS, VALIDATORS, MINERS, OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY; FOR THE CORRECTNESS, SECURITY, OR BEHAVIOR OF ANY SMART CONTRACT; OR FOR ANY LOSS RESULTING FROM IRREVERSIBLE BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTIONS, FAILED TRANSACTIONS, GAS FEES, OR THE INHERENT DESIGN OF DECENTRALIZED NETWORKS.
IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE TRINITY PARTIES TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES, THE PROTOCOL, OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS (USD $1,000), WHICH YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE REPRESENTS A FAIR, REASONABLE, AND BARGAINED-FOR ALLOCATION OF RISK. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS CUMULATIVE AND NOT PER-INCIDENT.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Trinity, together with its directors, officers, employees, contractors, contributors, agents, affiliates, and service providers (collectively, the “Trinity Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, proceedings, investigations, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, fines, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses of any kind whatsoever—including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs—arising out of, relating to, or in connection with:
(i) Your access to or use of the Services or the Protocol;
(ii) Any interaction you initiate with or through any smart contract associated with the Protocol;
(iii) Your breach or alleged breach of these Terms or any other part of the Agreement;
(iv) Your violation or alleged violation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or governmental order, including sanctions or export controls;
(v) Your negligence, misconduct, fraud, misrepresentation, or misuse of the Services or Protocol;
(vi) Any content, data, or information you submit, transmit, or make available via the Services; or
(vii) Any dispute between you and any third party arising from or relating to your use of the Services, the Protocol, or any Protocol Token.
Trinity shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification hereunder, and you agree to fully cooperate with any defense undertaken by the Trinity Indemnified Parties. You shall not settle, compromise, or otherwise resolve any claim subject to indemnification without Trinity’s prior written consent. Your indemnification obligations under this Section shall survive termination of the Agreement and your cessation of use of the Services.
13. Arbitration & Class Action Waiver
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or your use of the Protocol shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration seated in the Cayman Islands and conducted in English under the International Arbitration Rules of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR Rules”). The courts of the Cayman Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction for any action seeking to enforce or confirm an arbitral award.
You and Trinity each waive any right to a trial by jury and agree that all disputes must be brought on an individual basis. You further waive any right to participate in or bring a class action, class arbitration, collective action, or other representative proceeding.
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by providing written notice to hi@dtrinity.org within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms. This arbitration agreement will survive termination of these Terms and your cessation of use of the Services.
14. Termination
Trinity may, at any time and in its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, disable, or terminate your access to some or all of the Services if:
(i) we are required to do so by applicable law, regulation, court order, or governmental authority;
(ii) we reasonably believe that you have violated, are violating, or are likely to violate these Terms or any part of the Agreement;
(iii) we reasonably suspect that you are engaged in fraudulent, malicious, abusive, unlawful, or harmful activity;
(iv) your use of the Services creates, or is reasonably likely to create, legal exposure, security risk, operational risk, or reputational harm to Trinity or to the proper functioning of the Protocol; or
(v) technical, security, or operational considerations render continued access impractical or undesirable. Any such action may be taken without prior notice and without any liability to you.
You may terminate your use of the Services at any time by ceasing all access to, and use of, the Services. Termination—whether initiated by you or by Trinity—does not and cannot affect any transaction already executed on a blockchain network, nor does it alter or reverse any interaction with the Protocol, which operates independently of the Services.
Upon termination, all provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall continue in full force and effect, including but not limited to those relating to disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, arbitration, governing law, and prohibited conduct.
15. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, invalid, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the determination shall not affect or impair the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provision. Any unlawful, invalid, void, or unenforceable provision shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed modified, reformed, or rewritten so as to effectuate the original intent of the parties as closely as possible while remaining enforceable. The failure of any provision shall not constitute a waiver of, or prejudice to, the enforceability of the remaining Terms, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.
16. Assignment
Trinity may assign, transfer, or delegate any of its rights or obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time and without restriction, including in connection with a reorganization, restructuring, merger, acquisition, the establishment of a successor foundation, or a transition to Community Governance. Any such assignment shall be effective upon notice or posting of an updated version of these Terms.
You may not assign, transfer, or delegate any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without Trinity’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void. Your obligations under these Terms apply to any wallet, account, or identifier that you use to access the Services.
These Terms shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
17. Governing Law
These Terms, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to them or to your use of the Services or the Protocol, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-laws principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
The parties expressly agree that the laws of the Cayman Islands shall apply regardless of your domicile, location, or the place where the Services are accessed or used.
