Amendments to this Agreement: We reserve the right to amend this Agreement from time to time at our sole discretion.

We also do not facilitate the execution or settlement of your trades that are carried out entirely publicly on publicly distributed blockchains, such as Ethereum. As a result, we do not (and cannot) guarantee market-best pricing or best execution via the Interface or when the auto-routing feature is used, which only forwards trades via liquidity pools in the protocol.

    • You have not received any investment advice from us in connection with trading transactions, including those you place via the Auto-Routing API.
    • We do not conduct a suitability check on the trades you submit.

We may provide information about tokens in the User Interface that are obtained from external data partners via features such as rarity values, token explorers, or token lists. We may also provide warnings for certain tokens. The provision of informational material does not lead to a trade with this requested token. We do not attempt to persuade you to purchase based on the information provided. All such information provided by the Interface is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice or a recommendation that a particular token is a safe or sound investment. You should not take or refrain from taking any action based on information contained in the User Interface. By providing token information for your convenience/information, we are not giving you any investment recommendations or opinions on the merits of any transaction or opportunity. You are solely responsible for determining whether an investment, investment strategy or related transaction is appropriate for you based on your personal investment objectives, financial circumstances and risk appetite.

No custodianship and no fiduciary duties: The Interface is purely an application with no custodianship, which means that we at no time have custody, possession or control of/over your digital assets. It further means that you alone are responsible for keeping the cryptographic private keys for the digital asset wallets you hold and that you should never disclose your wallet credentials or seed phrase to any third party. We assume no responsibility or liability towards you in connection with your use of any wallet and give no assurances or warranties as to how the Interface works with a particular wallet. Similarly, you are solely responsible for all related wallets, and we will not be liable for any acts or omissions on your part in connection with or as a result of any compromise of your wallet.

This Agreement is not intended to create or impose any fiduciary obligations on our part. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that we do not owe you or any other party any fiduciary duties or liabilities, and that, to the extent that such duties or liabilities exist by law or on the basis of equity, such duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably excluded, waived and abolished. You further agree that the only obligations and duties we owe you are those expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Compliance and tax obligations: It is possible that the User Interface may not be available or suitable for use in your jurisdiction. By accessing or using the User Interface, you declare yourself to be in agreement that you are solely and fully responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations that may apply to you. In particular, your use of the Interface may result in various tax consequences, such as income or capital gains tax, value-added tax, tax on goods and services, or sales tax in certain jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to determine whether any taxes apply to transactions you initiate or receive and, if applicable, to report and/or remit the correct taxes to the responsible tax authority.

Assumption of risk: By accessing and using the Interface, you declare that you are financially and technically savvy enough to understand the inherent risks associated with the use of cryptographic and blockchain-based systems and that you have sufficient knowledge of the use and intricacies of digital assets, such as, e.g., Ether (ETH), so-called Stablecoins, and other digital tokens, such as those used, for example, by the Ethereum Token Standard (ERC20). In particular, you understand that the markets for these digital assets are nascent and highly volatile due to risk factors such as (but not limited to) launch, speculation, technology, security and regulation. You understand that anyone can create a token, including fake versions of existing tokens and coins that falsely claim to represent projects, and you recognise and accept the risk that you could falsely trade these or other tokens/coins. So-called Stablecoins, e.g., USDT, may not be as stable as they purport to be, may not be fully or adequately collateralised, and may be subject to panics and runs.

In addition, you understand that smart contract transactions are executed and settled automatically, and that blockchain-based transactions are irreversible once confirmed. You acknowledge and accept that the costs and speed of transactions using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, such as, e.g., Ethereum, are variable and can rise dramatically at any time. You also acknowledge and accept the risk that if you choose to trade in expert mode, you may possibly be exposed to a significant price drop and higher costs. If you are acting via the Interface as a liquidity provider for the protocol, you understand that your digital assets may lose some or all of their value due to price fluctuations of tokens in a trading pair while they are being delivered to the protocol or the liquidity pool via the Interface.

In summary, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for any of these variables or risks, that we do not own or control the protocol, and that we route to third-party providers and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses you may incur when accessing or using the Interface. Accordingly, you understand and agree that you assume full responsibility for all risks of accessing and using the Interface to interact with the protocol.

Third-party resources and promotions: The User Interface contains references or links to third-party resources, including (but not limited to) information, materials, products or services that we do not own or control. In addition, third parties may offer promotions related to your accessing and use of the User Interface. We do not approve, monitor, endorse, guarantee or assume any responsibility for such resources or promotions. If you access such resources or participate in such promotions, you do so at your own risk, and you understand that this Agreement does not apply to your business or relationships with third parties. You expressly release us from any liability arising from your use of such resources or your participation in such promotions.

Release of claims: You expressly agree that you assume all risks associated with your accessing and use of the Interface. You further expressly waive, and indemnify us from and against, any liability, claims, causes of action or damage arising out of or in any way in connection with your use of the Interface.

Compensation: You declare yourself to be in agreement that you indemnify, hold harmless and defend us and our managerial staff, directors, owners, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates and subsidiaries from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses arising as a result of:

  • Your accessing and use of the Interface
  • Your violation of any provision or condition of this Agreement, the rights of third parties, or other applicable laws, rules, or regulations
  • The accessing and use of the Interface by another party with your help or using a device or account that you own or control.

GENIE tokens/minting/white paper: You must carefully read the content of our white paper ( ) before participating in the sale of GENIE tokens. The content of this white paper is not used for financial promotions. No other company may issue GENIE tokens that are intended to operate and function in accordance with the plans outlined in the white paper (subject to change).

Sale of GENIE tokens: Our white paper ( https://genieswap.com/whitepaper) and all other related documents refer to a token offer for the sale of GENIE tokens.

No regulated product: Our white paper ( https://genieswap.com/whitepaper) does not constitute any offer or solicitation securities of or other regulated products, nor does it constitute an advertisement, invitation or solicitation for investment purposes. The terms and conditions of the purchase of GENIE tokens are not to be understood as either a document for financial services or a prospectus. GENIE tokens do not represent any equity, stock, interest, royalties or rights to capital, profit or income of the platform or software or the company or any other company or intellectual property associated with the GenieSwap Platform or any other public or private company, corporation, foundation or other legal entity. A GENIE token shall not constitute a security or any similar legal interest and is not an investment product.

No advice: Our white paper ( https://genieswap.com/whitepaper) does not constitute advice on the purchase of GENIE tokens and cannot be called upon in connection with a contract or a purchase decision.

Information on risks: The purchase of GENIE tokens carries significant risks. You should carefully review our whitepaper ( https://genieswap.com/whitepaper) and all associated risks before purchasing GENIE tokens. Seek all the necessary professional advice. You should consult a lawyer and/or a tax advisor (if necessary) before deciding to purchase GENIE tokens.

Investing in GENIE tokens can lead to short or long periods of monetary losses, right up to a total loss. When investing in GENIE tokens, you should expect that the GENIE token may be subject to large/very large exchange rate/price fluctuations. The information published in our white paper and on the website www.genieswap.com and its associated subpages and subdomains do not guarantee that GENIE token investors will not lose any money.

Our white paper ( https://genieswap.com/whitepaper) describes an ongoing and future project. Our white paper ( https://genieswap.com/whitepaper) contains forward-looking statements based on the beliefs of the company, certain assumptions made by us and the information available to us. The projects outlined in our white paper ( https://genieswap.com/whitepaper) are under development and are constantly being updated, including, but not limited to the technical features. Therefore, when the GenieSwap platform is completed, it may differ significantly from the project outlined in our white paper. No assurance or warranty is provided as to the achievement or appropriateness of any plans, future forecasts or prospects, and nothing in our white paper ( https://genieswap.com/whitepaper) is or should be considered a promise or assurance for the future.

Dev3Studios LLC refers to the development and use of experimental software and technologies that may not lead to success or achieve the objectives stated in our white paper ( https://genieswap.com/whitepaper). Licences and permits are not secured in all jurisdictions. The company intends to comply fully with the applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, the development and introduction of all features of the GenieSwap platform outlined in our white paper ( https://genieswap.com/whitepaper) cannot be guaranteed. Blockchains, smart contracts and cryptocurrencies are all cutting-edge technologies, and, as such, there is a risk of total failure, no matter how small.

Regulatory risks in the crypto/blockchain industry: The crypto/blockchain industry is closely monitored worldwide by regulatory bodies that are constantly making changes and providing clarifications to existing legislation. We warn you of the danger that our project will not comply with new regulatory requirements at a particular given time.

Risks of external fraud: Hackers focus on exploiting potential vulnerabilities. Attacks also extend to the open-source algorithms of smart contracts, which is why we need to consider the risk of attempted hacking of our platform. We cannot give a 100% guarantee that the GenieSwap platform will never be compromised in such attacks.

Regulatory risks of the blockchain industry: International laws and regulations may make trading GENIE tokens impossible. The use of GENIE tokens could come under scrutiny from governmental institutions and regulatory authorities.

Financial risks: Investing in cryptocurrency projects is a big risk, and you could lose the full amount of your investment. GENIE tokens, like any other cryptocurrency, can be subject to strong fluctuations and can lose significant value. We are not responsible for fluctuations in the value of the token. We do not guarantee that there will be an opportunity to exchange Genie tokens for Fiat money. Governments may pass laws requiring the payment of taxes on profits from GENIE tokens. Dev3Studios LLC does not guarantee any revenues, and you may suffer significant losses, up to a total loss. It is possible that we will not attain the necessary financial resources to continue the GeineSwap platform.

Cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile: for example, Bitcoin rose from one cent to $32, then plummeted 94% to $2. It then went from $2 to $270 and then plummeted by 81%. It then went from $51 to $1200 and then plummeted by 86%. It then went from $164 to $20,000 and then plummeted by 84%. It then went from $3,150 to $14,000 and then plummeted by 72%. It then went from $67,550 to $15,600, plummeting by 77%. And this is the most liquid, oldest cryptocurrency in the world. Almost every cryptocurrency falls by 85% to 95% at some point. Some rise again and reach new alltime highs.

No warranties: The Interface is provided " AS IS" and " AS AVAILABLE". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all assurances and guarantees of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including (but not limited to) guarantees of tradeability and fitness for a particular purpose. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Interface takes place at your own risk. We do not represent or warrant that access to the Interface is continuous, uninterrupted, timely, or secure, that the information contained in the Interface is accurate, reliable, complete, or current, or that the Interface is free of errors, defects, viruses, or other harmful elements.

Limitation of liability: Under no circumstances shall we or our managerial staff, owners, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates or subsidiaries be liable to you for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including (but not limited to) damages for loss of profit, goodwill, use, data or other intangible property arising out of or in connection with the accessing or use of the Interface, nor shall we be responsible for any damages, loss or injury caused by hacking, tampering, or other unauthorised accessing or use of the Interface or the information contained therein.

If a potential dispute arises, you must contact us by sending an email to [email protected] so that we can try to resolve it without resorting to formal dispute resolution. If we are unable to reach an informal resolution within 90 days of your email, we agree to resolve the potential dispute in accordance with the procedure outlined below.

Any and all claims or contestations arising out of or in connection with the Interface, this Agreement or other acts or omissions for which you may claim that we are liable, including (but not limited to) claims or contestations relating to the disputes, shall be ultimately and exclusively brought before a court and venue determined by Dev3studios LLC., unless you and we both agree to bring them before a different venue/court. Unless we agree otherwise, your claims may not be consolidated with those of any other party.

Waiver of class actions and jury trials: You must bring any and all disputes against us in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or member of any purported class action, private lawyer's suit or other representative proceedings. This provision applies to class arbitration proceedings. You and we agree to waive the right to seek a jury trial.

Applicable law: You agree that this Agreement and any and all disputes between you and us shall be governed by the laws of St Vincent, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You further agree that the Interface is deemed to be solely based in St Vincent and that, although the Interface may be available in other jurisdictions, its availability does not establish any general or specific personal jurisdiction in any forum outside of St Vincent. You agree that the courts of St Vincent shall be the appropriate forum for all appeals against any arbitration award or for litigation if it is found that the binding arbitration clause of this Agreement is unenforceable.

If you have read this far, congratulations. You will find that the theme of the entire text above is that you should have absolutely no expectations of any kind with respect to anything, and that if something goes wrong, you should not look to anyone for compensation or redress, and shall not get any. Anything can change at any time.

Whole agreement: These Terms and Conditions set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written and oral agreements, communications or other arrangements (if any) relating to the subject matter of the Terms and Conditions.

Dev3Studios LLC’s fields of activity with GenieSwap include in particular:
