1. Introduction
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the superearn.io website (referred to as the “Website”) by users (the “Users” or “you”), the superearn.io interface (referred to as the “Interface”), and any other websites, applications or interfaces, available through the superearn.io domain or other services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are brought to you by Kairos Studio (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Superearn protocol is a decentralized, non-custodial protocol composed of open-source self-executing smart contracts that are deployed on various permissionless public blockchains, such as Kaia, Ethereum and other blockchains and related software available for review in github (the “Superearn Protocol”). The Website provides information and resources about the Superearn Protocol. The Interface is an independent interface providing one of the available applications through which users, via their self-custodial wallets, interact with the Superearn Protocol. We provide the Websites and the Interface, but we are not involved in the execution of any transactions conducted on the blockchains. Furthermore, we do not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and have no ability to access, retrieve, or transfer any such contents. We expressly disclaim any liability for any losses or damages arising from or in connection with any interactions with, or actions taken on, the blockchains through the Interface. To use the Services, you must legally be able to enter into these Terms. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet the eligibility requirements. If you do not meet the requirement, you must not use the Services. We may change or update the Services and any part of these Terms at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion, in accordance with these Terms. Once any such update is made and in effect, you will be bound by the Terms if you continue to use the Services. We may, at any time, and without liability to you, modify or discontinue all or part of the Services (including access to the Services via any third-party links).2. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement
If you have any dispute or claim arising out of or relating in any way to the Interface or these Terms, you must send an email to legal@superearn.io to resolve the matter via an informal, good faith negotiation process. If that dispute or claim is not resolved within sixty (60) days of sending such an email, then you agree that all unresolved disputes or claims shall be finally and exclusively settled by arbitration in Singapore, governed by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) Rules in force at the time of the filing for arbitration of such dispute. The arbitration shall be held before a single arbitrator in Singapore, and shall be conducted in the English language on a confidential basis at the Singapore International Arbitration Centre. Any award made by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary. This section shall survive termination of these Terms, the Services, or any connection you may have to the information you obtained from the Services. Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver. You agree to bring all disputes or claims connected to the Interface in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff in or member of any class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding. Further, you irrevocably waive the right to demand a trial by jury in any jurisdiction.3. The Services
a. Users retain full control over their cryptoassets. It is important to understand that neither we nor any affiliated entity is a party to any transaction on the blockchain networks underlying the Superearn Protocol; we do not have possession, custody or control over any cryptoassets or any user’s funds. You understand that when you interact with the Superearn Protocol and/or the Services, you retain control over your cryptoassets at all times. b. Users use third-party self-custodial wallets to interact with the Protocol. We have no control or guarantee over the wallets. To interact with the Superearn Protocol using the Interface, you will need to connect and engage with it through your self-custodial wallet. It is essential to understand that your self-custodial wallet is provided by a third-party entity and is generally governed by separate terms and conditions set by the respective third-party service provider. Such third party terms and conditions may involve additional fees, disclaimers, and/or risk warnings regarding the accuracy and reliance on the provided information. Reviewing and comprehending the terms and conditions associated with your chosen self-custodial wallet provider to ensure compliance and to be aware of any applicable charges or risks is your sole responsibility. We assume no responsibility whatsoever for your use of your wallet. c. We are not intermediaries to the Protocol transactions. Due to the non-custodial and decentralized nature of the technology, we are not intermediaries, agents, advisors, or custodians, and we do not have a fiduciary relationship or obligation to you regarding any other decisions or activities that you affect when using the Services. Superearn Protocol operates solely as a neutral technological platform that provides a venue for users to access decentralized finance products at their convenience. The Services does not act as a principal, counterparty, or agent in any transaction. d. We have no information about any transactions beyond what is publicly available via the blockchain. You acknowledge that we do not have information regarding any transactions conducted through the Superearn Protocol beyond what is available or obtainable publicly via the blockchain. However, we may collect information regarding the users’ access and use of the Services in accordance with these Terms and/or our Privacy Policy. e. There may be associated blockchain fees. Transactions using blockchains may require the payment of gas fees, which are essentially network transaction fees paid on every transaction that occurs on the selected blockchain network. Please note that gas fees are non-refundable. We do not provide any services to users or deliver, hold, and/or receive payment for cryptoassets, nor do receive any fees for any transactions or the Services or your use of blockchain. f. We may charge you Service fees. We may, from time to time, charge fees in connection with your access to or use of certain features, functionalities, or enhanced services made available through the Service (“Service Fees”). Such Service Fees may include, without limitation:- Management Fee – a fee based on the total value locked (TVL) or deposited amount (e.g., 1% of the deposited amount); and
- Performance Fee – a fee based on the performance or yield generated (e.g., 10% of a 10% annual percentage yield (APY) performance).
4. Assumption of Risk
a. You assume the risks of engaging in novel and experimental technology. Technologies such as smart contracts on various blockchains, cryptographic tokens generated by the smart contracts, and other nascent software, applications, and systems that interact with blockchain-based networks are experimental, speculative, inherently risky, and subject to change and technical, legal and regulatory uncertainty. Among other risks, bugs, malfunctions, cyberattacks, or changes to the applicable blockchain (e.g., forks) could disrupt these technologies and even result in a total or partial loss of cryptoassets, their market value, or digital funds. We assume no liability or responsibility for any such risks or losses, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If you are not comfortable assuming these risks, we do not encourage you to access our services, and you should not access or engage in transactions using blockchain-based technology. b. We are not liable for any third-party services or links. You understand and acknowledge that our Services may be connected to, or operate in conjunction with, third-party services. We are not responsible or liable for the content, accuracy, functionality, or availability of any third-party services, networks, applications, or platforms, including but not limited to Discord or MetaMask. We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the content, accuracy, or functionality of any third-party materials, contents, products or services, and we do not endorse or recommend them for any specific purpose. Further, we do not guarantee, endorse, or recommend such content or services to users of the Services, and we expressly disclaim any and all liability for any losses or damages arising from your use of or reliance on any third-party products, services, or content. c. You agree to the automated collection and disbursement of proceeds by smart contracts. You acknowledge and agree that all transactions accessed through the blockchain-based networks will be automatically processed using one or more smart contracts. By engaging in transactions using the Services, you acknowledge and consent to the automatic processing of all transactions in connection with using the Services. You understand that smart contracts operate independently of us and define and control the distribution of funds. You further acknowledge and agree that the applicable smart contract will dictate how the funds of a transaction and ownership of cryptoassets are distributed, and that we shall not be liable or responsible for any losses or damages arising therefrom. d. You acknowledge the risks of using the Services. You bear sole responsibility for evaluating the Services before using them. You understand and acknowledge that all transactions on the blockchain are irreversible, final, and without refunds. The Services may be disabled, disrupted, or adversely impacted as a result of sophisticated cyber-attacks, surges in activity, computer viruses, and/or other operational or technical challenges, among other things. We make no representation or warranty that the Services will be secure, uninterrupted, or error-free, and we disclaim any ongoing obligation to notify you of all the potential risks of using and accessing our Services. You agree to assume all such risks and acknowledge that you will not hold us, our affiliates, directors, employees, or service providers, liable for any losses or damages, including indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses, arising from your use of or inability to use the Services. e. You are solely responsible for the security of your self-custodial wallet. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your self-custodial wallet. You alone are responsible for securing your private keys. We do not have access to your wallet, private keys or any other means that would allow us to control or access your wallet. Further, you are solely responsible for ensuring your wallet’s compatibility with the Interface. Any unauthorized access to your self-custodial wallet by third parties could result in the loss or theft of any cryptoasset or funds held in your account and any associated accounts. You understand and agree that we have no involvement in, and you will not hold us responsible for managing and maintaining the security of your self-custodial wallet. You understand and acknowledge that the private key associated with the self-custodial wallet address is the only private key that can control the cryptoassets you transfer into the smart contracts. Loss of such private key may result in the permanent loss of access to your wallet and/or cryptoassets contained therein. You assume full responsibility and liability for the safekeeping of your private key and any losses resulting from its loss, compromise, or misuse. f. We reserve the right to restrict your access to the Services. You agree that we have the right to restrict your access to the Services, in our sole discretion, via any technically available methods if we suspect in our sole discretion, that: (i) you are using the Services for money laundering or any illegal or unauthorized purposes; (ii) you have engaged in fraudulent activity; (iii) you have acquired cryptoassets using inappropriate methods, including, but not limited to, the use of stolen funds to purchase such assets; (iv) you are the target of any sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, His Majesty’s Treasury, or any other legal or regulatory authority in any applicable jurisdiction; (v) either you, as an individual or an entity, or your wallet address is listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (“SDN List”), Consolidated Sanctions List (“Non-SDN Lists”), or any other sanctions lists administered by OFAC; (vi) you are located, organized, or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of sanctions, including, without limitation, Côte d’Ivoire, Cuba, Belarus, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria; or (vii) you have otherwise acted in violation of these Terms.

Such suspension, restriction, or termination may occur with or without prior notice, depending on the urgency or necessity of the maintenance or technical issue. We shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience you may suffer as a result of such suspension, restriction, or termination. g. We do not guarantee the quality or accessibility of the Services. As a condition to accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge, understand, and agree that from time to time, the Services may be temporarily or permanently inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including due to equipment malfunctions, periodic maintenance procedures or repairs, causes beyond our control or that we could not reasonably foresee, disruptions and temporary or permanent unavailability of underlying blockchain infrastructure or unavailability of third-party service providers or external partners for any reason.
