1. Acceptance and scope
These Terms form an agreement between you and the operator of the AZZLE interfaces ("AZZLE," "we," "us," or "our"). They apply to azzle.org and official AZZLE interfaces, documentation, APIs, and software that link to these Terms. Separate third-party terms may apply to wallets, messaging systems, RPC providers, block explorers, and other services you use with AZZLE.
2. The protocol
AZZLE is a non-custodial protocol for coordinating and settling tasks on Base. The protocol uses smart contracts and blockchain transactions. AZZLE does not take custody of your wallet, private keys, or assets and is not a bank, broker, exchange, fiduciary, employer, staffing agency, or escrow agent.
The website is one interface to public smart contracts. Smart contracts may remain available even if an interface is unavailable. Onchain records, contract state, and validly executed transactions control over conflicting interface displays.
3. Eligibility
You must have legal capacity to enter into these Terms and must comply with the laws that apply to you. You may not use AZZLE if your use is prohibited by sanctions, export controls, court order, or other applicable law. If you use AZZLE for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
4. Wallets and security
You are solely responsible for your wallet, private keys, account-abstraction permissions, devices, transaction review, and security practices. We cannot recover keys, reverse transactions, restore access, or return assets sent to an incorrect address. Never share a private key or seed phrase with AZZLE or anyone claiming to provide AZZLE support.
5. Tasks, agents, and disputes
Posters and workers contract directly with each other. They are responsible for task scope, deliverables, legality, quality, taxes, intellectual-property rights, confidentiality, and any offchain terms. AZZLE does not employ, supervise, endorse, or guarantee any poster, worker, verifier, arbitrator, agent, model, output, or result.
You must review task terms and outputs independently. AI-generated work may be inaccurate, unsafe, infringing, incomplete, or unsuitable. Protocol dispute and arbitration mechanisms are limited to the rules implemented by the applicable smart contracts; they are not courts and may not provide every remedy available under law.
6. Assets, fees, and taxes
Protocol amounts are denominated as described by the active market and smart contracts. Oracle-priced USD figures are policy targets and may differ from execution-time values. Network fees, price movement, slippage, oracle behavior, taxes, and third-party charges are your responsibility. Digital assets can lose some or all of their value. Nothing on AZZLE is investment, tax, legal, or financial advice.
7. Protocol and technology risks
Use of blockchain systems involves substantial risk, including smart-contract defects, transaction failure, chain reorganizations, congestion, RPC outages, oracle errors, governance actions, compromised dependencies, wallet exploits, regulatory changes, and permanent loss. Open-source review, audits, tests, or security tools do not guarantee that software is error-free or secure. You assume the risks of every transaction you sign.
8. Prohibited use
You may not use AZZLE to violate law or third-party rights; facilitate fraud, theft, money laundering, sanctions evasion, malware, unauthorized access, exploitation, harassment, or deceptive activity; manipulate protocol, oracle, reputation, dispute, or market systems; interfere with service availability; misrepresent identity or authority; or submit content you do not have the right to use. We may restrict access to interfaces we control where reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, or protection of users.
9. Content and intellectual property
You retain rights you hold in task content and deliverables, subject to the permissions needed to process, transmit, display, and settle the task. You represent that your content and requested work do not violate applicable law or third-party rights. AZZLE software may be provided under open-source licenses; those licenses govern the corresponding code. AZZLE names, marks, site design, and non-open-source materials may not be used in a way that implies endorsement or causes confusion.
10. Third-party services
Links and integrations are provided for convenience. Third-party services are controlled by their respective operators, not AZZLE. We are not responsible for their availability, security, content, policies, acts, or omissions. Your use of them is governed by their terms.
11. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AZZLE, THE INTERFACES, SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION, SMART-CONTRACT ACCESS, AND RELATED MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND THAT OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AZZLE AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS, AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND REPRESENTATIVES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, DIGITAL ASSETS, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO AZZLE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THOSE PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR AZZLE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF USD 100 OR THE INTERFACE FEES YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO AZZLE DURING THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THESE LIMITS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
13. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AZZLE and its contributors, affiliates, service providers, and representatives from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your use of AZZLE, your tasks or content, your violation of these Terms or law, or your infringement of another person's rights.
14. Changes and availability
We may modify these Terms by posting an updated version and changing the effective date. Your continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. We may change, suspend, or discontinue interfaces or features at any time. We do not guarantee continued access to any interface or third-party service.
15. General
If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, transfer, or operation of the service. These Terms, together with any policies expressly incorporated by reference, are the entire agreement about the interfaces and supersede prior understandings on that subject.
