Uniswap — Terms

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the interface available at app.uniswap.org, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service in their entirety. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the team operating this interface, and your continued use of the platform signifies ongoing acceptance of any applicable updates. If you do not agree with any portion of these terms, you must immediately discontinue your use of the service. These terms apply to all visitors, users, liquidity providers, and any other individuals who interact with the interface in any capacity. It is your responsibility to read and understand these terms before engaging with the decentralized trading features offered through this platform.

Eligibility to Use Uniswap

Access to this decentralized exchange is restricted to individuals who are at least 18 years of age and are legally permitted to engage in cryptocurrency transactions under the laws of their applicable jurisdiction. By using the service, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements and that your use of the platform does not violate any laws or regulations in your country of residence. The interface is not available to residents of jurisdictions subject to comprehensive economic or trade sanctions, and it is your obligation to ensure that your use complies with all local laws. The team reserves the right to restrict or terminate access to users who do not meet these eligibility criteria or who provide false representations about their eligibility.

Account and Wallet Terms

Unlike centralized exchanges, this service does not require the creation of a traditional user account — instead, you interact with the protocol by connecting a compatible cryptocurrency wallet. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your wallet, private keys, and seed phrases. The platform has no ability to recover lost wallets, reset private keys, or reverse transactions that have been broadcast to the blockchain. Any activity that occurs through your connected wallet, whether authorized by you or not, is your responsibility. You agree not to use wallets that you do not own or do not have explicit permission to operate, and to promptly disconnect your wallet if you suspect it has been compromised.

Acceptable Use of the Service

You agree to use the interface solely for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these terms and all applicable regulations. This decentralized trading platform is provided as a front-end interface to an open-source protocol, and you acknowledge that the underlying smart contracts operate autonomously without intervention from any central party. Users are expected to interact with the service in good faith and to refrain from any activity that could harm other users, disrupt the interface, or compromise the integrity of the protocol. You acknowledge that cryptocurrency trading carries significant financial risk and that using this tool does not constitute financial advice from the team or any affiliated parties. Decisions to buy, sell, or swap tokens are made entirely at your own risk and discretion.

Intellectual Property and Uniswap's Open-Source Code

The interface design, branding, logos, and original written content associated with app.uniswap.org are protected by intellectual property laws and remain the property of their respective owners. The underlying protocol code is open-source and available under the applicable open-source license, which permits review, forking, and reuse subject to its specific terms. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the interface for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from the proprietary interface elements without prior written permission. Any trademarks, service marks, or trade names displayed on the platform are the exclusive property of their respective owners and may not be used without authorization.

Prohibited Conduct

Users of this platform are strictly prohibited from engaging in any activity that constitutes market manipulation, wash trading, front-running, or any other form of fraudulent or deceptive trading practice. Using the interface to launder money, finance illegal activities, or circumvent sanctions is expressly forbidden and may be reported to the appropriate authorities. Automated bots or scripts that place excessive load on the interface's infrastructure, interfere with other users' access, or exploit vulnerabilities in the front end are not permitted. You may not attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the proprietary components of the interface. Any conduct that violates these prohibitions may result in immediate suspension of your access and potential legal action where applicable.

Disclaimers and Risk Acknowledgment

The interface is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. The team behind this decentralized exchange makes no representations about the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information displayed through the interface, including token prices, liquidity data, or fee estimates. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, and the value of any token you swap, hold, or provide as liquidity can decrease substantially or become worthless. Smart contract risks, network congestion, and protocol exploits are inherent risks of interacting with any DeFi platform. By using this service, you expressly acknowledge and accept all such risks and agree that the team bears no responsibility for financial losses arising from your use of the platform.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operators of this interface shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the service. This limitation applies regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable and regardless of the theory of liability, including negligence, contract, or tort. The total liability of the interface operators for any claims arising from your use of the platform shall not exceed the greater of one hundred US dollars or the fees you paid to the interface in the thirty days preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so these limitations may not apply to you in full. Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the operators of this interface and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising out of or related to your use of the platform, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights. This indemnification obligation survives the termination of your use of the service. The team reserves the right to assume exclusive control of the defense of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate fully with such defense. You will not settle any indemnifiable claim without the prior written consent of the applicable interface operator. This provision is intended to protect the integrity of the platform and ensure accountability for individual user actions.

Dispute Resolution for Uniswap Users

Any disputes arising from your use of this interface shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation between you and the team. If direct resolution is unsuccessful within thirty days, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration body, rather than through court litigation. You agree to waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against the platform's operators. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, and any award rendered shall be final and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm while arbitration proceedings are pending.

Termination of Access

The operators of this interface reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the platform at any time, with or without notice, for any reason including but not limited to violations of these terms, suspected fraudulent activity, or compliance with legal obligations. Because the underlying Uniswap protocol is decentralized and open-source, termination of interface access does not prevent you from interacting with the protocol directly through other means. Upon termination, all provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive will remain in effect, including intellectual property rights, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution clauses. You may also choose to discontinue your use of the service at any time by disconnecting your wallet and ceasing all interaction with the interface.

Changes to These Terms

These Terms of Service may be updated periodically to reflect changes in applicable law, new platform features, or evolving industry standards. When material changes are made, notice will be provided through the interface or through other appropriate channels, and the revised terms will indicate the date of the most recent update. Your continued use of the platform after such notice constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with any changes, you must stop using the service immediately. The team encourages all users to review these terms regularly to remain informed of their rights and obligations when using this decentralized trading platform.
