Terms of Service (TOS)
Effective Date: November 8, 2024
XenDEX Terms of Service
Welcome to XenDEX, a decentralized exchange on the X1 blockchain. By accessing or using our services, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using XenDEX, you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and any applicable laws. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not access or use our services.
2. Decentralized Nature, DAO Transition, and Absence of Central Control
XenDEX operates as a fully decentralized exchange (DEX) without a leader, central team, or traditional organizational control. No individual, team, or organization exerts centralized authority over the platform. Transactions and functionalities are executed autonomously on the blockchain through smart contracts, enabling peer-to-peer exchanges and community-driven use.
Transition to a DAO: XenDEX is evolving toward governance by a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). As part of this transition, governance and decision-making will eventually be transferred to a DAO, allowing the community to participate directly in shaping the platform. This transition is intended to further decentralize control, with the DAO responsible for future decisions and changes on the platform.
3. Inherent Risks of Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology are still emerging fields, and using a decentralized exchange involves significant risk. By using XenDEX, you acknowledge and accept the following:
Market Volatility: Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile. Prices can fluctuate drastically, leading to potential financial loss. You should only trade what you can afford to lose.
Smart Contract Vulnerabilities: As a blockchain-based platform, XenDEX relies on smart contracts. Despite rigorous testing, vulnerabilities may exist, potentially leading to losses.
Security Risks: Users are responsible for the security of their own wallets and private keys. XenDEX cannot recover lost private keys or funds.
Regulatory Uncertainty: Cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms are subject to evolving regulatory environments, which may impact the legality or functionality of the platform in certain jurisdictions.
By participating in this platform, you assume these risks and agree that XenDEX, its contributors, and affiliates will not be held liable for any losses incurred.
4. No Financial Advice
XenDEX provides a platform for decentralized exchange but does not offer financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All information on our platform is for informational purposes only. Please consult with qualified professionals before making financial decisions.
5. No Guarantee of Compliance or Regulatory Oversight
XenDEX is not a broker, dealer, exchange, or investment advisor as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or similar regulatory bodies globally. Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of XenDEX complies with all applicable laws in their jurisdiction.
6. Limitation of Liability
No Warranties: XenDEX services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, with no guarantees or warranties of performance.

8. Prohibited Uses
You agree not to use XenDEX for unlawful activities, including money laundering, terrorist financing, or any actions that violate securities laws or regulations. Any illegal use may result in the loss of access to the platform.
9. No SEC Registration
XenDEX and its contributors make no representation regarding regulatory classifications of assets on the platform. No tokens, services, or operations have been registered with the SEC or other regulatory bodies, as XenDEX operates independently without custodianship, central ownership, or oversight.
10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the platform operates, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms will be resolved in that jurisdiction.
11. Changes to Terms of Service
These Terms may be updated periodically without notice. Continued use of XenDEX signifies acceptance of any changes. Please review these Terms periodically.
12. Disclaimer of Liability for Regulatory Compliance
XenDEX, its contributors, and affiliates do not warrant that the platform complies with specific regulatory requirements, including securities or commodities laws. Use of XenDEX is at your own risk, and users are responsible for understanding and complying with applicable laws.
