ZEROBASE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.1 Services Overview The Services provide an interface (the "App") that displays data and enables users to interact, via a third-party wallet application (e.g., Metamask), with smart contracts deployed on decentralized blockchains, specifically the staking mechanisms of the Zerobase Protocol. The smart contracts and related off-chain infrastructure maintained and operated by the Company and its affiliates are collectively referred to herein as the "Protocol".

The Protocol facilitates staking mechanisms where users can stake stablecoins which are then allocated across various liquidity strategies utilizing ZK Interval Proof technology to validate the risk neutrality and compliance of investment strategies.

Documentation relevant to the Services, the App, and the Protocol are available at docs.zerobase.pro (the "Documentation"). The Protocol itself is not part of the Services, and your use of the Protocol is entirely at your own risk. Additionally, the third party technologies required to be used or interacted with in order to interact with the Protocol, including but not limited to a Wallet (as defined below, and collectively the "Third-Party Tools"), are not part of the Services, and your use of such Third-Party Tools are entirely at your own risk.

1.2 Staking Services The Protocol enables stablecoin staking with yields generated through the Company's network of affiliates and service providers. The Company provides the technical infrastructure to facilitate these services. By using the staking services, you understand that: Returns are variable and market-dependent No specific returns are guaranteed Staking may be subject to lock-up periods and withdrawal conditions The Protocol's parameters may be updated from time to time

1.3 Wallets To use certain of the Services it may be necessary to connect a third-party digital wallet ("Wallet") to the App. In such cases, by using a Wallet in connection with the Services, you agree that you are using the Wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable third-party provider of such Wallet. Wallets are not associated with, maintained by, supported by or affiliated with the Company. You acknowledge and agree that we are not party to any transactions concluded while or after accessing our App, and we do not have possession, custody or control over any digital assets appearing on the App.

1.4 Updates and Monitoring We may make any improvements, modifications or updates to the Services, including but not limited to changes and updates to the underlying software, infrastructure, security protocols, documentation, technical configurations or service features from time to time. Although the Company is not obligated to monitor access to or participation in the Services, it has the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Services, ensuring compliance with the Terms and applicable law. The Services may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice. The Company does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or secure access to the Services. Scheduled or emergency maintenance may temporarily limit access to the Services.
