This Terms of Service agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and conditions that govern your access to and use of the products and services ("Products") provided by BDex ("we," "us," or "our"). Our Products include, but are not limited to, our web-based user interface accessible at https://botchain-dex ("Interface" or "App") and any related services that reference this Agreement.

You are required to read this Agreement in its entirety. By accessing or using any of our Products, you confirm that you have read, understood, and fully agree to be bound by all provisions herein. If you do not agree, you are expressly prohibited from accessing or using our Products.

You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (for example, 18 years old in the United States) and have full legal authority to enter into and comply with this Agreement.

You further represent that you are not:

• (a) subject to economic or trade sanctions imposed by any governmental body, nor listed on any restricted or prohibited parties list (including but not limited to the sanctions list maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control); or

2. Our Products

2.1 The Interface

The Interface provides a web-based means of accessing and interacting with decentralized protocols ("Protocols") deployed on public blockchain networks. The Interface is distinct from the Protocols and serves as one—but not the exclusive—method to engage with them. The Protocols consist of open-source, self-executing smart contracts deployed on-chain. We do not control, operate, or maintain the Protocols. By using the Interface, you acknowledge that we do not sell or purchase digital assets from you, nor do we operate liquidity pools or manage trade execution on the Protocols.

2.2 Non-Custodial Nature

Our Products are entirely non-custodial. You must use a self-custodied wallet to interact with the Interface. We do not store, manage, or have the ability to access, retrieve, or transfer any assets held in your wallet. Connecting your wallet to our Interface constitutes acceptance of this Agreement.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

All intellectual property rights in and to our Products are owned by or licensed to us. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use our Products.
