When changes are made, Venzo will make a new copy of the Terms of Use available through the Website or Services and will update the “Last Updated” date above. If we make material changes, we may notify you by email, through the Services, through our social media channels, or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

#### 1. Description of the Services <a href="#v4dbo7iv2xng" id="v4dbo7iv2xng"></a>

The Services include the Website and the Services enabled thereby, as further defined and described below. There are important risks and limitations associated with the use of the Services. Please read them carefully.

**1.1 The Platform**

Venzo’s Services include access to a non-custodial online interface, supported documentation, dashboards, and related tools that allow Users to discover, view, and interact with publicly available information relating to digital assets, smart contract vaults, blockchain protocols, rewards programs, and third-party services.

Users can use the Services to:

* aggregate and display publicly available information related to crypto assets, stablecoins, vault receipt tokens, reward points, rewards, and other digital assets (“User Assets”) that exist on third-party blockchains compatible with the Services (each, a “Supported Blockchain”) and are associated with the applicable User’s Digital Wallet;
* view informational dashboards, analytics, projected returns, estimated APY/APR, risk descriptions, vault metadata, performance information, proof-of-reserves information, audit references, and other information about User Assets, vaults, strategies, or third-party protocols (collectively, “User Asset Information”);
* draft transaction messages, routes, or instructions that the User can independently review, authorize, and sign through a Digital Wallet to interact with Supported Blockchains, smart contracts, vaults, protocols, decentralized exchanges, rewards systems, or other Third-Party Services;
* access Venzo Earn interfaces for discovering non-custodial vaults and yield strategies;
* access Venzo Swap interfaces for discovering routes or quotes for digital asset swaps;
* access Venzo Rewards interfaces for viewing, claiming, or participating in rewards, points, cashback, campaigns, referrals, or other promotional programs; and
* if and when made available, access Venzo Pay or card-related interfaces that may connect Users to third-party payment, card, account, or fiat on/off-ramp providers, subject to applicable Supplemental Terms and third-party terms.

The Services do not include custody of User Assets. Venzo does not possess, hold, or control User Assets and does not execute transactions on your behalf.

**1.2 Non-Custodial Nature**

The Services are non-custodial at all times. Venzo does not:

* take custody of User Assets;
* hold deposits or maintain account balances for Users;
* control Digital Wallets, private keys, seed phrases, passwords, smart contract permissions, or User Assets;
* initiate, authorize, sign, broadcast, cancel, reverse, or modify blockchain transactions on behalf of Users;
* lend, borrow, rehypothecate, pledge, pool, invest, manage, or otherwise use User Assets on behalf of Users;
* act as agent, broker, dealer, adviser, custodian, trustee, fiduciary, intermediary, or representative of any User; or
* guarantee any yield, return, reward, redemption, liquidity, timing, execution, price, route, or outcome.

You are solely responsible for your Digital Wallet, Private Key, transaction approvals, wallet permissions, User Assets, and all activity associated with your Digital Wallet. Any transaction involving User Assets occurs only when you independently authorize and sign the relevant transaction with your Digital Wallet.

**1.3 Protocols, Vaults, and Strategy Managers**

The Services may provide an interface that allows Users to view publicly available information relating to one or more blockchain protocols, smart contract systems, vaults, or third-party strategies (each, a “Protocol”). A Protocol may comprise open-source or proprietary smart contracts that allow Users to interact with one or more smart contract-enabled vaults (each, a “Vault”) or strategies.

Vaults and strategies may be self-executing, autonomous, or operated by third-party strategy managers, curators, asset managers, protocols, decentralized autonomous organizations, or other third parties (each, a “Strategy Manager”). Strategy Managers, not Venzo, may determine the parameters by which assets in a Vault are deployed, rebalanced, lent, borrowed, swapped, hedged, staked, or otherwise used.

For the avoidance of doubt, unless expressly stated otherwise in Supplemental Terms, any Protocol, Vault, Strategy Manager, Supported Blockchain, validator, decentralized exchange, bridge, oracle, wallet provider, payment provider, card issuer, fiat on/off-ramp provider, identity verification provider, or other third-party service is not part of the Website and is not a Service made available by Venzo under this Agreement. Venzo has no obligation to monitor or control any use of any Protocol or Third-Party Service. Venzo makes no representations or warranties about the functionality of any Protocol or Third-Party Service, or the actions or omissions of any Strategy Manager or other third party. All use of any Protocol or Third-Party Service is undertaken at your own risk.

**1.4 Your User Assets**

You represent and warrant that:

* you own or have authority to connect to the Digital Wallet you use with the Services;
* you own or have authority to transfer, approve, swap, deposit, withdraw, or otherwise interact with any User Assets through your Digital Wallet;
* all User Assets you use in connection with the Services have been earned, received, or otherwise acquired by you in compliance with all applicable laws;
* no User Assets you use in connection with the Services have been “mixed,” “tumbled,” or otherwise processed to hide, mask, or obscure their origin, ownership, or transaction history; and
* your use of the Services will not violate any applicable laws, sanctions, anti-money laundering rules, counter-terrorist financing rules, securities laws, commodities laws, tax laws, consumer protection laws, or other regulatory requirements.

**1.5 Compatibility Risk**

The Services may not be compatible with all forms of cryptocurrency, stablecoins, tokens, networks, wallets, protocols, vaults, bridges, decentralized exchanges, or digital asset standards. Whether a User Asset, Digital Wallet, Supported Blockchain, Protocol, Vault, or Third-Party Service is compatible with the Services may change at any time, with or without notice.

**1.6 Transfers of User Assets**

By combining publicly available information with the User’s interactions with the Website, the Website can draft standard transaction messages, quotes, routes, or instructions designed to reflect the User’s operational goals as expressed through interactions with the Website.

If you choose to proceed, you must personally review and authorize all transaction messages that you wish to execute. This requires you to sign the relevant transaction message with a private cryptographic key inaccessible to the Website and Venzo. The User-authorized message may then be broadcast to the applicable Supported Blockchain, validator network, wallet provider, protocol, or Third-Party Service, and you may pay a Gas Fee or other third-party fee to have the transaction processed.

Venzo does not initiate, process, effectuate, custody, or control transfers of your User Assets. The timing, execution, confirmation, allocation, redemption, settlement, and finality of any transfer are determined by your Digital Wallet, the applicable smart contracts, Supported Blockchain, validators, protocols, and any relevant third-party rules. Venzo shall have no liability to you or any third party with respect to any losses arising from the timing, failure, delay, pricing, routing, execution, reversal, non-reversal, confirmation, or non-confirmation of any transfer of User Assets.

Venzo and the Services are not agents or intermediaries of the User, do not store or have access to or control over any User Assets, private keys, passwords, accounts, or other property of the User, and are not capable of performing transactions or sending transaction messages on behalf of the User.

**1.7 Rewards**

Any rewards, points, cashback, incentives, campaigns, referral benefits, promotional benefits, or similar items that you receive or may be eligible to receive in connection with your use of the Services (“Rewards”) may be provided by Venzo, a Strategy Manager, a Protocol, a partner, or another third party. Unless expressly stated in Supplemental Terms, Rewards are not guaranteed, may have no cash value, may be modified or discontinued at any time, and may be subject to eligibility, jurisdictional, compliance, timing, and other restrictions.

Venzo does not guarantee that you will receive any Rewards or that any Rewards will maintain any value, utility, transferability, redemption right, or availability.

**1.8 Fees**

Venzo may charge fees in connection with certain Services from time to time. Any applicable fees will be disclosed through the Services or applicable Supplemental Terms. Fees may be reflected in a transaction you independently authorize, applied by applicable smart contracts, protocols, or third-party providers, or otherwise charged only through a method you separately approve. Venzo does not unilaterally debit, deduct, or transfer User Assets from your Digital Wallet.

Gas Fees, blockchain fees, validator fees, bridge fees, decentralized exchange fees, liquidity provider fees, protocol fees, card fees, payment fees, on/off-ramp fees, foreign exchange fees, and other third-party fees may apply. These fees are determined by third parties or market conditions and are not necessarily determined, set, or charged by Venzo.

**1.9 Taxes**

You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to any transactions involving your User Assets, including deposits, withdrawals, swaps, transfers, rewards, points, cashback, staking, lending, borrowing, vault interactions, redemptions, or other activity. Venzo has no responsibility for determining, withholding, collecting, reporting, or remitting taxes on your behalf, except where required by applicable law.

**2.4 Digital Wallets and Private Keys**

In connection with certain features of the Services, you will need to connect a Digital Wallet owned or controlled by you. Access to and use of a Digital Wallet is subject to additional terms and conditions between you and the provider of that Digital Wallet.

Access to your Digital Wallet may require the use of a private key, seed phrase, password, passphrase, hardware device, biometric credential, or other authentication method (“Private Key”). Your Private Key is unique to you and must be maintained by you. Venzo does not have access to your Private Key and cannot recover a lost Private Key. If you lose your Private Key, you may lose access to your Digital Wallet and any User Assets associated with it.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY DIGITAL WALLET PROVIDER OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THAT THIRD PARTY. VENZO DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH DIGITAL WALLETS, PRIVATE KEYS, WALLET PERMISSIONS, WALLET MALFUNCTIONS, WALLET COMPROMISES, OR THIRD-PARTY WALLET SERVICES.

If a Digital Wallet, wallet provider, network, interface, account, asset, protocol, or associated service becomes unavailable, unsupported, compromised, deprecated, or incompatible with the Services, you should not attempt to use that wallet, asset, protocol, or service through the Services. Venzo disclaims all liability for any inability to access, view, transfer, withdraw, redeem, recover, or otherwise use any User Assets in connection with wallet unavailability, unsupported assets, wallet-provider restrictions, or third-party service failures.

**2.5 Necessary Equipment and Software**

You are solely responsible for any fees, including internet, mobile, data, device, gas, or network fees, that you incur when accessing the Services.

#### 3. Your Assumption of Risk <a href="#id-69e7tpsvl7lb" id="id-69e7tpsvl7lb"></a>

**3.1 General Risk**

When you use the Services, you understand and acknowledge that Venzo is not a financial or investment adviser and that the Services entail a risk of loss and may not meet your needs. Venzo cannot guarantee that User Assets will earn any return, yield, Rewards, or other benefits, or that User Assets will not lose value.

Digital assets, stablecoins, tokens, vault receipt tokens, rewards, and other blockchain-based assets can be highly volatile, illiquid, risky, and subject to sudden loss of value. Past performance, projected APY/APR, target yield, estimated return, or displayed analytics are not guarantees of future results.

**3.2 Smart Contract, Strategy, and Protocol Risk**

Smart contracts, vaults, strategies, protocols, bridges, decentralized exchanges, oracles, wallets, and blockchain networks may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, errors, design flaws, governance failures, exploit risks, oracle failures, liquidity risks, liquidation risks, depeg risks, redemption risks, slippage risks, MEV risks, and other risks. Third parties may exploit these risks, resulting in the loss or diminution of User Assets.

Additional digital asset risks include counterfeit assets, mislabeled assets, assets with inaccurate or decaying metadata, assets that become non-transferable or non-redeemable, malicious or defective token contracts, governance changes, validator slashing, protocol penalties, and sudden changes to blockchain, validator, sequencer, or protocol rules that may materially affect the value, functionality, transferability, or availability of User Assets.

**3.3 Stablecoin and RWA Risk**

Stablecoins and tokenized real-world asset products may be subject to issuer risk, reserve risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, depeg risk, redemption risk, regulatory risk, credit risk, duration risk, interest rate risk, collateral risk, custody risk at the third-party issuer or protocol level, and transparency risk. Venzo does not guarantee the value, redeemability, liquidity, backing, or legal status of any stablecoin, vault token, receipt token, or tokenized real-world asset.

**3.4 Non-Custodial Transaction Risk**

In order to be successfully completed, any transaction involving User Assets must be confirmed by and recorded on the applicable Supported Blockchain or processed by the applicable protocol or Third-Party Service. Venzo has no control over any Supported Blockchain, validator, wallet provider, protocol, or Third-Party Service, and cannot ensure that any transaction will be validated, confirmed, executed, reversed, modified, cancelled, or completed.

You accept full responsibility for all activities that you effect through your Digital Wallet, including loss as a result of authorized or unauthorized access to your Digital Wallet.

**3.5 Regulatory Risk**

The regulatory regimes governing blockchain technologies, stablecoins, digital assets, tokenized assets, rewards, payments, cards, DeFi, and related services are uncertain and rapidly evolving. New laws, regulations, policies, enforcement actions, or interpretations may materially adversely affect the development, availability, legality, functionality, or value of the Services or User Assets.

**3.6 Third-Party Risk**

Certain features of the Services may rely on third-party websites, services, technology, protocols, smart contracts, applications, wallets, blockchains, validators, Strategy Managers, identity verification providers, payment providers, card issuers, fiat on/off-ramp providers, security providers, analytics providers, and other third parties (each, a “Third-Party Service” and collectively, “Third-Party Services”). Venzo is not responsible for any Third-Party Service and shall not be liable for losses, delays, failures, errors, interruptions, loss of data, loss of User Assets, or other harm arising from Third-Party Services.

#### 14. Term and Termination <a href="#wrq1v0zexgb5" id="wrq1v0zexgb5"></a>

**14.1 Term**

The Agreement commences when you accept the Agreement or first use the Services and remains in effect while you use the Services, unless terminated earlier.

**14.2 Termination by Venzo**

Venzo may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Services at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, including if Venzo believes you have violated the Agreement or applicable law.

**14.3 Termination by You**

You may terminate your use of the Services by ceasing all further use of the Services. Termination does not affect blockchain transactions already submitted, smart contract positions already entered, or your obligations under the Agreement.

**14.4 Effect of Termination**

Upon termination, your right to use the Services will automatically terminate. Venzo will not have any liability to you for suspension or termination. All provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership, disclaimers, indemnification, limitations of liability, dispute resolution, and general provisions.

If Venzo suspends, restricts, or terminates your access because Venzo believes you violated any portion of the Agreement or applicable law, you agree that you will not attempt to re-register, reconnect, access, or use the Services through another wallet, account, identity, device, network, or other means. You will not be entitled to any refund, credit, reward, promotion, incentive, or other benefit for any Service, feature, or access that is suspended, restricted, or terminated, except where required by applicable law or expressly stated in Supplemental Terms.

#### 15. International Users <a href="#rwnqt0bqxq04" id="rwnqt0bqxq04"></a>

The Services can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services, products, or content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Venzo intends to make such Services, products, or content available in your country. Those who access or use the Services from outside the jurisdiction in which Venzo operates do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law.

#### 16. Dispute Resolution <a href="#ut8wglukpffl" id="ut8wglukpffl"></a>

Please read this Section 16 carefully. It is part of your contract with Venzo and affects your rights. It contains procedures for mandatory binding arbitration and a class action waiver.

**16.1 Applicability**

Subject to the terms of this Section 16, you and Venzo agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, the Website, the Agreement, any prior version of the Agreement, any Protocol, any Vault, any Digital Wallet interaction through the Services, or any Third-Party Service interaction through the Services (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights.

**16.2 Informal Dispute Resolution**

Before commencing arbitration, the party initiating a Dispute must give written notice to the other party of its intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference. The notice must include: (1) the initiating party’s name, telephone number, mailing address, email address, and applicable Digital Wallet address if relevant; (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address of counsel, if any; and (3) a reasonably detailed description of the Dispute and requested relief. The parties will personally meet and confer by telephone or videoconference in good faith within forty-five (45) days after receipt of notice unless extended by mutual agreement. Participation in this informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to arbitration, and any applicable limitation period and filing-fee deadline will be tolled while the parties participate in the process.

**16.3 Arbitration**

If the parties do not resolve the Dispute informally within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice, either party may finally resolve the Dispute through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be Panama City, Panama, unless the parties agree otherwise, and the language of the arbitration shall be English. A request for arbitration must include the party’s contact information, applicable Digital Wallet address if relevant, the legal claims asserted, the factual bases for those claims, the requested remedy, a good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars, certification that the informal dispute process has been completed, and evidence that any required filing fees have been paid. If the selected arbitral forum is unavailable, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.

The arbitrator will be a retired judge or attorney qualified under the selected forum’s rules. The arbitrator will have authority to resolve any Dispute, including disputes regarding interpretation, enforceability, revocability, scope, validity, or breach of this dispute resolution provision, except that disputes concerning the class-action waiver, satisfaction of conditions precedent to arbitration, payment of arbitration fees, or which version of this provision applies may be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may grant dispositive motions and will issue a written award stating the essential findings and conclusions. Each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the arbitrator or court determines that a claim, defense, or requested relief was frivolous, brought for an improper purpose, or otherwise permits fee shifting under applicable law.

**16.4 Waiver of Jury Trial**

YOU AND VENZO HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 16.

**16.5 Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief**

YOU AND VENZO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

If one hundred (100) or more substantially similar individual arbitration requests are filed against Venzo by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organization within a thirty (30) day period, the requests will be administered in batches of up to 100 requests per batch, with one arbitrator, one procedural schedule, one hearing if any, and one set of filing and administrative fees per side per batch, unless the selected arbitral forum requires a different batching procedure. This batching process does not authorize class, collective, representative, or mass arbitration, except for the limited administrative batching described in this paragraph.

**16.6 Confidentiality**

All aspects of any arbitration proceeding, including the award and materials exchanged, shall be confidential, except as required by law or as necessary to enforce the Agreement or an arbitration award.

Except as provided for the class-action waiver, if any part of this dispute resolution provision is found invalid or unenforceable, that specific part will be severed and the remainder will remain in full force and effect. Any Dispute must be initiated within the applicable statute of limitations, or it will be forever barred to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

**16.7 Survival**

This dispute resolution provision will survive termination of your relationship with Venzo.

#### 17. General Provisions <a href="#iyqcjqevei3k" id="iyqcjqevei3k"></a>

**17.1 Independent Contractors**

The relationship between Venzo and you is that of independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, employment, or representative relationship.

**17.2 Electronic Communications**

You consent to receive communications from Venzo electronically. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications provided electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

**17.3 Assignment**

You may not assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer the Agreement or your rights and obligations without Venzo’s prior written consent. Venzo may assign or transfer the Agreement without restriction.

**17.4 Force Majeure**

Venzo shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, government actions, fire, flood, accident, strike, labor shortage, cyberattack, internet outage, blockchain outage, validator failure, wallet failure, smart contract failure, oracle failure, liquidity failure, or failure of any Third-Party Service.

**17.5 Questions, Complaints, Claims**

If you have any questions, complaints, or claims with respect to the Services, please contact us at the contact email designated by Venzo for legal or support inquiries.

**17.6 Exclusive Venue**

To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Venzo agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the courts of the British Virgin Islands.

**17.7 Governing Law**

THE TERMS AND ANY ACTION RELATED THERETO WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE AGREEMENT.

**17.8 Choice of Language**

It is the express wish of the parties that the Agreement and all related documents be drawn up in English.

**17.9 Notice**

Where Venzo requires that you provide an email address, you are responsible for providing your most current email address. If the last email address you provided is not valid, Venzo’s dispatch of an email containing notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give legal notice to Venzo at <jwong@venzofinance.com>, or any other legal notice email or address designated by Venzo in these Terms of Use or through the Services. Notice will be deemed given when received by Venzo by email confirmation, nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or first-class postage prepaid mail, as applicable.

**17.10 Waiver**

Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

**17.11 Severability**

If any portion of the Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

**17.12 Export Control**

You may not use, export, import, or transfer the Services except as authorized by the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Services and any other applicable laws.

**17.13 Entire Agreement**

The Agreement is the final, complete, and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matter.&#x20;
