Terms of Services

**Date of the latest revision: 04/15/2025**

BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IN ADDITION TO THESE TERMS, ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE INTERFACE AND SERVICES IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. BEFORE MAKING ANY FINANCIAL, LEGAL, TECHNICAL OR OTHER DECISIONS INVOLVING CRYPTO ASSETS AND/OR SERVICES, YOU SHOULD SEEK INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE FROM A LICENSED AND QUALIFIED PERSON IN THE APPROPRIATE FIELD.

General information

The Interface, as defined below, provides information and resources about the fundamentals of the protocol called "Usual" that permits, among other things, the generation of stablecoins, transactions using smart contracts (the "Protocol").

The purpose of these terms of use (the "Terms") is to define:

the terms and conditions of use applicable to the user (the "User," "you," or "your"), when using our websites or any other related interface (the "Interface"),

the terms and conditions applicable to any other features, tools, materials, or other services offered from time to time on the Interface (the "Services").

DEFINITIONS

Crypto assets: means tokens used by Users as a currency and unit of value (coins), such as bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or stablecoins, which aim to maintain a fixed parity with a traditional currency; or tokens with a utility function (utility tokens), granting access rights to products or services offered by the issuer.

AML (Anti Money Laundering): means laws, regulations, and procedures designed to prevent the use of financial systems for the purposes of concealing, disguising, or transforming illegal proceeds derived from criminal activities, financing terrorism, or other illicit activities. As provided in Article 4.1 of these Termes. Users expressly warrant that they are not involved in any activities or transactions that violates AML laws or regulations, and that they will not use the Protocol to facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, or any other illegal or prohibited activities. Users further agree to comply with any applicable AML requirements in their jurisdiction and acknowledge that the Association may take measures to ensure compliance with AML regulations, wherever possible, given the decentralized nature of the Protocol.

Connect wallet: means the tab on the Interface available to Users to connect their noncustodial wallet. A non-custodial wallet is a type of cryptocurrency wallet that gives Users full control over their Crypto assets, as they hold the private keys. Unlike custodial wallets, where a third party manages the private keys on behalf of the user, non-custodial wallets allow Users to store, send, and receive Crypto assets without relying on an intermediary. This type of wallet may be considered more secure because it eliminates the risks associated with third-party custodians, but it also requires Users to take responsibility for safeguarding their private keys to avoid losing access to their Crypto assets. As specified below, any affiliate company may not be liable in such cases where the User loses access to their Crypto assets due to the loss or mismanagement of private keys.
