pancaketool Network Interface Terms of Use
Last updated: november 01 2023
Our greetings and welcome to pancaketool Network, https://pancaketool .io, a website-hosted user interface managed
and operated by pancaketool Foundation (the “Interface”).
These Terms of Use and any terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the
“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Interface. You must read the Terms carefully.
To make these Terms easier to read:
● pancaketool Foundation is referred to as “pancaketool ”, “we”, “us” or “our”.
● “You”, “your” and “user(s)” refers to anybody who accesses or uses, in any way, the Interface. If
you are accessing or using the Interface on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other
legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these
Terms and, in that case, “you”, “your” or “user(s)” will refer to that entity.
By accessing, browsing or otherwise using the Interface, or by acknowledging agreement to the Terms on
the Interface, you agree that you have read, understood and accepted all of the Terms and the Privacy
Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), which is incorporated by reference into the Terms.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING ARBITRATION: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS BY USING OR
ACCESSING THE INTERFACE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND pancaketool
THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. AND YOU AGREE TO A CLASS
ACTION WAIVER, BOTH OF WHICH IMPACT YOUR RIGHTS AS TO HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED.
1. The Interface
TL;DR: The main purpose of the Interface is to provide you with access to the operations in the DeFi space.
We only provide the interface and software but have no control over your blockchain interactions and do
not endorse any specific actions. All the transactions occur on a blockchain which is a distributed ledger
with growing lists of records (blocks) that are securely linked together via cryptographic hashes
(“Blockchain Networks”) that we do not own, control, or operate. We are not responsible for the services
provided by third parties, the execution of the transactions, or any other actions of such third parties. We
reserve the right to make changes to the Interface, including adding, modifying, or discontinuing products
or features.
Products and Features. The Interface integrates decentralized protocols (“Protocol”) and offers you access
to numerous liquidity sources across multiple chains. The Interface may include other products and/or
features added for the purposes of user experience development and improvement, including those for
the informational, security, and entertainment purposes, which are not intended to affect the main
purpose of the Interface described above.
We only provide you with access to the relevant interface and software and neither have control over
your interactions with the blockchain nor encourage you to perform any. Any interaction performed by
you via the Interface remains your sole responsibility.
Blockchain Networks Transactions. In order to be completed, all transactions with cryptocurrency, digital
tokens or digital assets (“virtual currency”) must be confirmed and recorded in the associated public
blockchain. Such networks are decentralized, peer-to-peer networks supported by independent third
parties, which we do not own, control, or operate. We have no control over the Blockchain Networks and,
therefore, cannot and do not ensure that any transaction details that you submit via the Interface will be
confirmed and processed. By using the Interface, you acknowledge and agree that the transaction details
you submit may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the Blockchain Networks.
We do not store, transfer, transmit, convert, broker, hold, escrow, mint, mine, or otherwise interact with
any virtual currency, security, financial instrument, or other digital or physical asset and all the interactions
are performed on the third-party platforms, subject to any associated third-party terms. Any transfer that
occurs in any virtual currency occurs on the Blockchain Network and not on a network owned by us. We
therefore do not guarantee that we can affect the transfer of title or right in any virtual Currency. You
accept and acknowledge that we are not responsible for any errors or omissions that you make in
connection with any virtual currency transaction initiated via the Interface. We strongly encourage you to
review your transaction details carefully before attempting to transfer a virtual currency.
Completion of transactions that you instruct for through the Interface also depends on the availability and
operation of the Blockchain Networks. Errors or forks in the Blockchain Networks may cause transactions
that you initiate through the Interface to fail. This may mean that the transaction you were originally
intending to perform will no longer be available. Unfortunately, due to the decentralized nature of the
Blockchain Networks, there is no one single point of failure, and so neither we nor any particular party
will be responsible to you for errors or any losses that you suffer as a result.
Third-Party Services. To operate the Interface and facilitate your access to its products and/or features,
we may engage third-party providers and/or third-party API, which pancaketool has no direct or indirect control
over (“Third-Party Services”). The Third-Party Services are governed by their respective terms and
conditions. Such terms and conditions may include separate fees and charges, as well as disclaimers
and/or risk warnings on the accuracy of the information or the services of such a provider. These terms
may also include a privacy policy that differs from the privacy policy that is incorporated by reference
herein. It is your sole responsibility to read carefully and make sure that you understand those Third-Party
Services terms and conditions, including how those service providers may use your information according
to their respective privacy policies.
You agree and understand that the functionalities accessible via the Interface that allows you to swap
virtual currencies are not provided directly by us and are the only responsibility of the third-party
providers, including respective active third-party providers. Although we facilitate your access to these
Third-Party Services, we by no means are responsible for them and take no part in any actions,
transactions, or other activities conducted by such providers. We reserve the right to change, suspend,
remove, disable, or impose access restrictions or limits on the use of any Third-Party Service at any time
without notice.
You hereby acknowledge that the functionalities accessible via the Third-Party Services are the sole
responsibility of such Third-Party Services providers. You hereby expressly release pancaketool from any liability
arising from use of any Third-Party Services, third-party website, service, or content and any resulting
harm, loss, or damage.
Changes. We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to make changes to how we operate
the products and/or features accessible through the Interface, including adding new products, features,
functionalities, modifying existing ones, altering any other aspect of the Interface, or temporarily or
permanently suspending, discontinuing, or terminating your access to any or all portions of the Interface’s
functionality, provided that such modifications or discontinuations will not affect your access to your
assets (if applicable), unless there are exceptional circumstances where doing so would (a) pose
information security risks or intellectual property issues for pancaketool or other users; or (b) create other
unwarranted risks, including violations of law.
Additional terms. Certain products accessible through the Interface, including related applications, may
be subject to additional terms. Such additional terms are an integral part to these Terms of Use. However,
in the event of a conflict, the provisions of any such special terms or other agreement shall prevail.

action, or damages arising from or in any way relating to your access to and use of the Interface.
Your Compliance Obligations. The Interface may not be available or appropriate for use in all jurisdictions.
By accessing or using the Interface, you agree that you are solely and entirely responsible for compliance
with all laws and regulations that may apply to you. You further agree that we have no obligation to inform
you of any potential liabilities or violations of law or regulation that may arise in connection with your

TL;DR: You understand and agree that you may be required to complete Know Your Client (KYC) and Know
Your Business (KYB) checks through a third-party provider to access certain products and/or features. Your
refusal to provide requested information may result in access restrictions.
Compliance Checks. As we aim to provide a safe and compliant environment within pancaketool Network, some
of the products and/or features accessible through the Interface may be available to you only upon the
completion of the verification process. The verification involves completing an identifying Know Your
Client (KYC) / Know Your Business (KYB) questionnaire (“KYC/KYB Checks”) as required by applicable antimoney laundering, anti-terrorist financing, fraud prevention, sanctions laws and regulations.
The KYC/KYB Checks may be designated to a third-party provider upon pancaketool sole discretion. In order to
complete the KYC/KYB Checks, you undertake to promptly provide all required information, including
supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested, to such third-party
provider elected by pancaketool . You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data
provided.
You acknowledge and understand that the outcome of the KYC/KYB Checks lies in the sole discretion of
the third-party provider. After having successfully passed the KYC/KYB Checks you will be granted access
to the relevant products and/or features on the Interface. In case you refuse or deny providing
information as requested by the third-party provider, your access to the respective products and/or
features of the Interface may be restricted.
You understand that the amount of information requested to provide as part of the KYC/KYB Checks may
be subject to change over time and that you may at a later point in time be required to provide additional
documents and/or information.
The data is collected to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations in order to verify your
identity and determine your legal eligibility. This data is securely maintained and disclosed only when
permitted by law. For more information on how your personal data is processed please refer to our Privacy
Policy.
4. Risk Assessment
We may use publicly available information, as well as Third-Party Services, to assess the risks associated
with illicit or non-compliant activities, phishing, or other potential threats. Such risk assessment services
may be provided by various third-parties, including, but not limited to: ChainAbuse, TRMLabs, MetaMask,
MEW.
TL;DR: You acknowledge and agree that risk assessment may be conducted using Third-Party Services to
monitor wallet addresses and/or other content for non-compliant behavior based on publicly available
information. We reserve the right to block or restrict access of the wallet address associated with such
illicit activity. We hold no liability for such assessment, restriction, results, or accuracy of the Third-Party
Services.
Compliance Assessment. pancaketool reserves the right, but has no obligation, to use publicly available and
accessible information and engage third-party providers to monitor and assess your and/or other users’
wallet addresses, third-party links, domain names, virtual currencies, smart contracts, and any other
content available via the Interface for the risks of money laundering, terrorism financing, fraud and/or
any other illicit or non-compliant activities. No additional personal data is collected to perform such
compliance assessment.
You acknowledge and understand that the compliance assessment results lie in the sole discretion of the
third-party provider. pancaketool has no control over or connection to these Third-Party Services, thus pancaketool is
not and cannot be responsible for the accuracy of the information or the services of such providers. These
Third-Party Services are governed by their respective terms of use, please read them carefully.
pancaketool reserves the right, but has no obligation, to provide respective warnings to you. You hereby
acknowledge that pancaketool has no responsibility and shall not be held liable for such assessment, restriction,
results, or accuracy thereof. You are solely responsible for the final decision as to the applicability and
fitness of such risk assessments.
pancaketool reserves the right, but has no obligation, to block or restrict any activity on the Interface that may

been blocked or restricted from using the Interface by mistake, please contact us at:
compliance@pancaketool .io.
TL;DR: We may provide phishing risk alerts through the Interface, but we do not guarantee their accuracy
or reliability. You are responsible for assessing their applicability, and we are not liable for any claims or
losses related to these alerts.
Phishing Alerts. pancaketool may occasionally provide phishing and other potential risk alerts through the
Interface. These risk alerts are provided for informational purposes only, and we do not make any
representations or warranties regarding their accuracy, completeness or reliability. You are solely
responsible for the final decision as to the applicability and fitness of such alerts.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that risk alerts are provided on an “as-is” basis, without any
warranties or guarantees, and that you assume all the associated risks. pancaketool has no responsibility and
shall not be held liable for any claims, damages or losses arising from or in any way relating to such alerts.
5. Access to the Interface
TL;DR: The Interface provides a user interface for pancaketool Network participants, users or you that display
price information on virtual currency. All interactions related to the Protocol are executed outside of
pancaketool ’s Network direct or indirect control. pancaketool Network does not interact with the virtual currency
involved at any stage of your interaction. The Interface is constantly changing, so you might see features
come and go as we continue to improve our experience and services for users.
We reserve the right to disable access to the Interface at any time in the event of any breach of the Terms,
including without limitation, if we, in our sole discretion, believe that you, at any time, fail to satisfy the
eligibility requirements set forth in the Terms. Further, we reserve the right to limit or restrict access to
the Interface by any person or entity, or within any geographic area or legal jurisdiction, at any time and
at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you for any losses or damages you may suffer as a result of
or in connection with the Interface being inaccessible to you at any time or for any reason.
6. Your Use of the Interface
TL;DR: We do not control your interactions and stop an interaction or attempt to reverse an interaction
after it occurred. There are some strict rules: do not in any way harm the Interface or other users. And also:
you’re ultimately responsible for any interactions as relevant to the Interface. Please review, obtain, or
otherwise seek additional information or support before interactions with virtual currency at the Protocol.
By using or accessing the Interface, you represent and warrant that you understand that there are
inherent risks associated with virtual currency, and the underlying technologies including, without
limitation, cryptography and blockchain, and you agree that pancaketool is not responsible for any losses or
damages associated with these risks. You specifically acknowledge and agree that the Interface facilitates
your interaction with decentralized networks and technology and, as such, we have no control over any
blockchain or virtual currencies and cannot and do not ensure that any of your interactions will be
confirmed on the relevant blockchain and do not have the ability to effectuate any cancellation or
modification requests regarding any of your interactions.

7. Disclaimers
TL;DR: This is very important (like, bold important) so please read the whole section carefully for specifics.
It explains that we don’t make any warranties about the Interface.
You understand and agree that the GitHub repository, decentralized and autonomous protocol and

TL;DR: the information displayed through the Interface including “APRs” and information about prices,
liquidity, staking or other are provided by third parties and/or calculated for informational purposes and
we do not provide any warranties for such information.
pancaketool cannot and does not represent or guarantee that any of the information available through the
Interface is accurate, reliable, current, complete or appropriate for your needs. The information displayed

the Interface and the code proprietary or open-source, we specifically do not represent and warrant and
expressly disclaim any representation or warranty, express, implied or statutory, including without
limitation, any representations or warranties of title, non-infringement, merchantability, usage, security,
suitability or fitness for any particular purpose, or as to the workmanship or technical coding thereof, or
the absence of any defects therein, whether latent or patent. We do not represent or warrant that the
Interface, code and any related information are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. The
Interface provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or
implied, including, without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose or non-infringement. You acknowledge that no advice, information, or statement that we make
should be treated as creating any warranty concerning the Interface. We do not endorse, guarantee, or
assume responsibility for any advertisements, offers, or statements made by third parties concerning the
Interface.
TL;DR: we are not responsible for transferring, safeguarding, or maintaining your private keys.
You acknowledge that pancaketool is not responsible for transferring, safeguarding, or maintaining your private
keys or any virtual currency associated therewith. If you lose, mishandle or have stolen associated virtual
currency private keys, you acknowledge that you may not be able to recover associated virtual currency
and that pancaketool is not responsible for such loss. You acknowledge that pancaketool is not responsible for any loss,
damage or liability arising from your failure to comply with the terms hereunder.
TL;DR: blockchain protocols are code subject to flaws and we do not provide any warranties on the security
of such protocols.
By accessing and using the Interface, you represent that you understand (a) the Interface facilitates access
to the Protocol, the use of which has many inherent risks, and (b) the cryptographic and blockchain-based
systems have inherent risks to which you are exposed when using the Interface. You further represent
that you have a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of blockchain-based digital assets,
including, without limitation, ERC-20 token standard available on the Ethereum blockchain and all other
available layer 2 solutions for Ethereum or other blockchains. You further understand that the markets
for these blockchain-based digital assets are highly volatile due to factors that include, but are not limited
to, adoption, speculation, technology, security, and regulation. You acknowledge that the cost and speed
of transacting with blockchain-based systems, such as Ethereum, are variable and may increase or
decrease, respectively, drastically at any time. You hereby acknowledge and agree that we are not
responsible for any of these variables or risks associated with the Protocol and cannot be held liable for
any resulting losses that you experience while accessing or using the Interface. Accordingly, you
understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using the Interface
to interact with the Protocol.
TL;DR: third-party resources and promotions.
The Interface may contain references or links to third-party resources, including, but not limited to,
information, materials, products, or services, that we do not own or control. In addition, third parties may

responsibility for any such resources or promotions. If you access any such resources or participate in any
such promotions, you do so at your own risk, and you understand that the Terms do not apply to your
dealings or relationships with any third parties. You expressly relieve us of any and all liability arising from
your use of any such resources or participation in any such promotions.
8. Intellectual Proprietary Rights
TL;DR: our content is ours.
We own all intellectual property and other rights in the Interface and its contents, including, but not
limited to, software, text, images, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, and designs. Unless
expressly authorized by us, you may not copy, modify, adapt, rent, license, sell, publish, distribute, or
otherwise permit any third party to access or use the Interface or any of its contents. Accessing or using
the Interface does not constitute a grant to you of any proprietary intellectual property or other rights in
the Interface or its contents.
You will retain ownership of all intellectual property and other rights in any information and materials you
submit through the Interface. However, by uploading such information or materials, you grant us a
worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, copy, distribute, publish and send this data in any
manner in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
You may choose to submit comments, bug reports, ideas or other feedback about the Interface, including,
without limitation, about how to improve the Interface (collectively, “Feedback”). By submitting any
Feedback, you agree that we are free to use such Feedback at our discretion and without additional
compensation to you, and to disclose such Feedback to third parties (whether on a non-confidential basis
or otherwise). If necessary under applicable law, then you hereby grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, transferable, worldwide license under all rights necessary for us to incorporate and use your
Feedback for any purpose.
If (i) you satisfy all of the eligibility requirements set forth in the Terms, and (ii) your access to and use of
the Interface complies with the Terms, you hereby are granted a single, personal, limited license to access
and use the Interface. This license is non-exclusive, non-transferable, and freely revocable by us at any
time without notice or cause in our sole discretion. Use of the Interface for any purpose not expressly
permitted by the Terms is strictly prohibited. Unlike the Interface, the Protocol is comprised entirely of
open-source software running on the public Ethereum and other blockchains or Ethereum layer 2
solutions and is not our proprietary property. The Protocol may also run on the other blockchains to which
the same clause applies.
9. Indemnification
TL;DR: If someone sues us because of something you did, you’re responsible for it, so read the below
carefully.
You agree to hold harmless, release, defend, and indemnify us and our officers, directors, employees,
contractors, agents, affiliates, and subsidiaries from and against all claims, damages, obligations, losses,
liabilities, costs and expenses arising from (a) your access to and use of the Interface; (b) your violation of
these Terms, the right of any third party, or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation; and (c) any other
party’s access and use of the Interface with your assistance or using any device or account that you own
or control.
10. Limitation of Liability
TL;DR: It's really important to highlight how our liability is limited when it comes to issues you may
encounter with our service. Please read the whole section carefully.
Under no circumstances shall we or any of our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents,
affiliates, or subsidiaries be liable to you for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential, or
exemplary damages, including (but not limited to) damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other
intangible property, arising out of or relating to any access to or use of the Interface, nor will we be
responsible for any damage, loss, or injury resulting from hacking, tampering, or other unauthorized
access to or use of the Interface, or from any access to or use of any information obtained by any
unauthorized access to or use of the Interface. We assume no liability or responsibility for any: (a) errors,
mistakes, or inaccuracies of content; (b) personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever,
resulting from any access to or use of the Interface; (c) unauthorized access to or use of any secure server
or database in our control, or the use of any information or data stored therein; (d) interruption or
cessation of function related to the Interface; (e) bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be
transmitted to or through the Interface; (f) errors or omissions in, or loss or damage incurred as a result
of, the use of any content made available through the Interface; and (g) the defamatory, offensive, or
illegal conduct of any third party. Under no circumstances shall we or any of our officers, directors,
employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, or subsidiaries be liable to you for any claims, proceedings,
liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, or costs in an amount exceeding the greater of (i) the amount you
paid to us in exchange for access to and use of the Interface, or (ii) $100.00. This limitation of liability
applies regardless of whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or
any other basis, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such liability. Some jurisdictions do
not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of certain liabilities and
damages. Accordingly, some of the disclaimers and limitations set forth in the Terms may not apply to
you. This limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
TL;DR: A third party arbitrator will help us resolve any disputes we might have. This means that any dispute
will be resolved outside of class-action litigation. Hopefully, disputes will never be an issue, but you should
read this section carefully for details on how it works.
Binding Arbitration. Except for disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small
claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights,
trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and the pancaketool : (a) waive the right to have
any and all disputes or claims arising from these Terms, your use or access to the Interface or any other
disputes with the pancaketool (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in a court; and (b) waive any right to a jury trial.
Instead, you and the pancaketool agree to arbitrate Disputes that are not resolved informally (as described
below) through binding arbitration (i.e. the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with
reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it) instead of having the
Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and the pancaketool agree that any dispute is
personal to you and the pancaketool and that any such dispute will be resolved solely through individual
arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative
proceeding. Neither party agrees to class arbitration or to an arbitration in which an individual attempt to
resolve a dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and the
pancaketool agree that a dispute cannot be brought as a class, or other types of representative action, whether
within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
Process. You and the pancaketool agree that each will notify the other, in writing, of any Dispute within thirty
(30) days of when it arises so that the parties can attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Dispute informally.
Notice to the pancaketool shall be provided by sending an email to foundation@pancaketool .io. Your notice must
include (1) your name, postal address, and email address; (2) a description of the nature or basis of the
Dispute; and (3) the specific action that you are seeking. If you and the pancaketool cannot resolve the Dispute
within thirty (30) days of the pancaketool receiving the notice, either you or pancaketool may, as appropriate pursuant
to this Section 9, commence an arbitration proceeding. You and the pancaketool agree that any arbitration or
claim must be commenced or filed within one (1) year after the Dispute arose; otherwise, you and the
pancaketool agree that the claim is permanently barred (which means that you will no longer have the right to
assert a claim regarding the Dispute).
Choice of Law. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the Cayman Islands,
without regard to principles of conflict of laws, govern the Terms and any Dispute between you and us.
Any Dispute under these Terms shall be finally settled by Binding Arbitration (as defined below). Any
unresolved Dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be referred to and finally
resolved by arbitration under the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), which rules
are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Section 9 to the extent they are consistent with it.
Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms shall be finally settled in London,
United Kingdom, in English, in accordance with the LCIA Arbitration Rules. Unless we agree otherwise, the
arbitrator may not consolidate your claims with those of any other party. Any judgment on the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, to the extent a court
therein would be deemed to be a court of competent jurisdiction other than any court located in the
United States of America. You further agree that the Interface shall be deemed to be based solely in the
Cayman Islands and that, although the Interface may be available in other jurisdictions, its availability
does not give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction in any forum outside the Cayman Islands.
Authority of Arbitrator. As limited by these Terms and applicable arbitration rules, the arbitrator will have:
(a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a
Dispute; and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. The
arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual's
claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding
involving more than one individual.
12. Last but not Least
Changes to these Terms. We may amend any portion of these Terms at any time by posting the revised
version of these Terms with an updated revision date. The changes will become effective and shall be
deemed accepted by you, the first time you use or access the Interface after the initial posting of the
revised Terms and shall apply on a going-forward basis with respect to your use of the Interface including
any transactions initiated after the posting date. In the event that you do not agree with any such
modification, your sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate your use of the Interface.
Entire Agreement. These Terms (and any additional terms, rules and conditions of participation that may
be posted on the website of pancaketool Network) including the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement
with respect to the Interface and supersedes any prior agreements, oral or written.
Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy describes the ways we collect, use, store and disclose your personal
information. You agree to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your data in accordance with the

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). We may interact with and/or provide access to the
Interface products and/or features to DAOs operating on the basis of pancaketool Network. To the extent that
the DAO votes in favor of any decisions concerning the Interface and/or access and use of any Interface
products and/or features, the DAO has acknowledged, agreed and accepted these Terms, including any
terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference.
Survival. Upon termination of these Terms for any reason, all rights and obligations of the parties that by
their nature are continuing will survive such termination.
Severability. In the event that any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected and unimpaired. Any
invalid or unenforceable portions can be reasonably interpreted to fulfill the intent and purpose of the
original provision. If such interpretation is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be
severed from these Terms, while the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect.
