Aerodrome — Terms

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using this website in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service in their entirety. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the operators of this review and guide website. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the site immediately. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use of the website following any such modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. These terms apply exclusively to this informational website and do not govern your use of the Aerodrome Finance protocol, which is a separate, independent decentralized application subject to its own terms and governed by its smart contracts on the blockchain.

Eligibility Requirements

Use of this website is conditioned on your meeting certain eligibility criteria. You must be at least eighteen years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher than eighteen, to access and use this site. By using this website, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. Additionally, you represent that you are not located in, or a resident of, any jurisdiction where accessing cryptocurrency-related information or services is prohibited by law, regulation, or governmental order. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether your use of this website and any related services complies with the laws applicable to you. We reserve the right to restrict access to this site from certain geographic regions at our sole discretion and without prior notice.

Account Terms

This website does not require users to create accounts to access its primary informational content. However, certain optional features — such as subscribing to newsletters or submitting content requests — may require you to provide personal information such as an email address. If you provide such information, you are responsible for ensuring its accuracy and for maintaining the confidentiality of any access credentials associated with any optional account features. You agree to notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any unauthorized use of your subscription or associated credentials. We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to any account feature at our sole discretion, including for breach of these terms, without liability to you. You may not create accounts on behalf of another person without their explicit authorization.

Intellectual Property Rights

All original content published on this website — including but not limited to written reviews, guides, editorial commentary, graphics, and site design — is the intellectual property of this website's operators and is protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws. The Aerodrome name, logo, and associated branding are the intellectual property of their respective owners and are referenced on this site solely for informational and descriptive purposes in the context of an independent review. Nothing in these terms grants you any rights in our intellectual property beyond the limited license to access and view the site's content for personal, non-commercial purposes. Third-party content, trademarks, and intellectual property referenced on this site remain the property of their respective owners. If you believe any content on this site infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us with detailed information so we can promptly investigate and address your concern.

Prohibited Conduct

When using this website, you agree to refrain from engaging in any conduct that is unlawful, harmful, disruptive, or otherwise contrary to these terms. Prohibited activities include, without limitation: attempting to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site or its underlying systems; introducing malicious code, viruses, or other harmful software; scraping, crawling, or harvesting content from the site in bulk without our express written permission; using the site to transmit unsolicited communications or spam; impersonating any person or entity; engaging in any activity that places an unreasonable load on our infrastructure; or attempting to circumvent any security or access control measures implemented on the site. We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations of these prohibitions and to take appropriate action, including blocking access, without prior notice.

Disclaimers and No Financial Advice

This website is operated as an independent review and information resource and makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content published herein. All information is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis without warranty of any kind. Nothing on this site constitutes financial, investment, trading, tax, or legal advice. Cryptocurrency and DeFi investments carry substantial risk, including the risk of complete loss of capital, and past performance is not indicative of future results. You are solely responsible for your own investment decisions and should consult with qualified financial and legal professionals before making any decisions based on information found on this site. Our positive coverage of a platform reflects our editorial assessment at the time of writing and does not guarantee any particular outcome for any user.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this website's operators, authors, and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, this website or any content published herein. This limitation applies regardless of whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain categories of damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you in full. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Under no circumstances shall our aggregate liability to you exceed one hundred US dollars.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless this website's operators, employees, contractors, authors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses — including reasonable attorneys' fees — arising out of or relating to your use of this website, your violation of these Terms of Service, your violation of any applicable law or regulation, or your infringement of any third-party rights. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of your use of this website and these terms. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume exclusive control of the defense of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims. Your indemnification obligations apply to the full extent permitted under applicable law.

Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or your use of this website, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith informal negotiation. If informal resolution is not achieved within thirty days of written notice describing the dispute, either party may pursue the dispute through binding arbitration conducted under internationally recognized arbitration rules, unless you are located in a jurisdiction where mandatory arbitration is prohibited by law. Any arbitration will be conducted in the English language. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to prevent irreparable harm. You agree to waive any right to participate in class action proceedings or class-wide arbitration related to this website or these terms.

Termination of Access

We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to suspend or terminate your access to this website at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to your violation of these terms, conduct we determine to be harmful to the site or its users, or operational decisions affecting the availability of the service. Upon termination, your right to use this website ceases immediately, and any provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property clauses, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification — shall continue in full force and effect. You may also choose to discontinue using this website at any time, which shall constitute your termination of these terms with respect to your future use. Termination does not relieve you of any obligations incurred prior to the termination date.

Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify, update, or replace these Terms of Service at any time at our sole discretion. Changes will become effective upon posting of the revised terms to this website, and the effective date will be updated accordingly. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes through a website notice or, where applicable, via email communication. Your continued access to or use of this website after any such changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree to the modified terms, you must discontinue use of this website immediately. We encourage you to review these terms periodically to remain informed of any updates. The most current version of these terms will always be available on this page and supersedes all prior versions.
