# Protocol Terms of Service & Non-Reliance Agreement
Last Updated: November 2026

## 1. Scope & Acceptance
By accessing, querying, or executing transactions against the x402 Agentic Protocol endpoints, Console, or MCP tools, you ("Client", "Agent Operator", or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms.

## 2. Technical Heuristics & No Financial Advice (Non-Reliance)
- **Non-Fiduciary Nature:** The services provided by this protocol (including Alpha-Scan, MEV-Shield, Wallet-PnL, Gas-Oracle, and Contract-Audit) consist solely of automated on-chain heuristics, algorithmic simulations, and mempool telemetry.
- **No Investment Advice:** Neither the protocol, its developers, nor its operators are registered as an investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading adviser, or financial fiduciary under any jurisdiction. No content or endpoint response constitutes an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy, sell, stake, or hold any digital asset.
- **Independent Due Diligence:** You expressly acknowledge that all blockchain transactions and trading bets are conducted at your sole risk and discretion.

## 3. Disclaimers of Warranties
All services, APIs, and data feeds are provided on an **"AS IS"** and **"AS AVAILABLE"** basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or error-free operation. On-chain state, gas estimates, and DEX pool dynamics may change without notice.

## 4. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- In no event shall the protocol developers or operators be liable for any lost profits, lost revenues, loss of digital assets, loss of keys, frontrunning losses, or indirect, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your reliance on these APIs.
- Aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to these services shall be capped at the greater of (a) the amount paid in micro-fees by your wallet over the preceding 30 days, or (b) $50.00 USD.

## 5. Indemnification & Downstream Flowdown
- **Indemnification:** You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the protocol operators from and against any claims, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use or misuse of the services or any trades executed by autonomous agents operating under your control.
- **Flowdown Mandate:** Any intermediary application, bot, or developer exposing these APIs to end-users must retain and prominently display the inline disclaimer provided in all API responses.

## 6. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding conflict of law rules). Any dispute shall be resolved through individual binding arbitration, and you waive all rights to participate in class actions or jury trials.
