The User is not situated, habitually resident, organized, established, or domiciled in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, the Crimea area (including Sevastopol), or any other nation or jurisdiction against which the United States maintains economic sanctions or an arms embargo. Tokens issued by Users are not sourced from, or otherwise represent the proceeds of, any unlawful or illegal activity.
      • No Claim, Loan, Ownership Interest, or Investment Purpose:User understands and agrees that neither User‘s Delegation of Validation Rights and Voting Rights to Sentinel, nor Sentinel‘s provision of Services hereunder: (a) represents or constitutes a loan or contribution of capital to, or other investment in, Sentinel; or (b) provides User with any ownership interest, equity, security, or right to or interest in Sentinel‘s assets, rights, properties, revenues, or profits, or any voting rights whatsoever in, Sentinel; or (c) creates or suggests any fiduciary or other agency connection between Sentinel and any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, or affiliates, or entitles User to any fiduciary or similar responsibility on the behalf of any of the above Persons. The User is not engaging in these Terms or delegating Validation Rights or Voting Rights to Sentinel to make an investment in Sentinel or its securities, but rather to obtain the Services from Sentinel. The User acknowledges and accepts that Sentinel will not receive or hold any Staking Rewards on the User‘s behalf and that the Validator Node has no obligation or control over whether the network delivers Staking Rewards to the User.
      • Non-Reliance: The User is well-versed, experienced, and intelligent in the use and evaluation of the network and related technologies, and its suitability. In deciding to delegate any Validation Rights or Voting Rights to Sentinel and enter into these Terms, the User has conducted its own thorough independent investigation and analysis of the network and the other matters contemplated by these Terms, and has not relied on any information, statement, omission, representation or warranty, express or implied, written or oral, made by or on behalf of Sentinel in connection therewith.
      • No Advice: User understands and agrees that Sentinel is not the User‘s broker, custodian, intermediary, agent or advisor, and that Sentinel has no fiduciary relationship or obligation to the User. Sentinel does not provide investment or consulting advice of any kind and no communication or information that Sentinel provides to the User is intended as, or should be construed as, advice of any kind. construed as, advice of any kind.

Sentinel reserves the right to take any necessary measures to protect its interests and the integrity of the network, including reporting violations to relevant authorities and implementing technical or contractual restrictions as deemed appropriate.

  • Acknowledgment of the Decentralized and Permissionless Nature

    • The User acknowledges and understands that, due to the permissionless and decentralized nature of the blockchain, Sentinel has no control over other Validator Nodes on the blockchain. Specifically, given these inherent characteristics of the blockchain, the User acknowledges that their participation is entirely voluntary and undertaken at their sole risk. The User agrees that Sentinel shall not be responsible for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including but not limited to loss of funds, business, reputation, or data, arising out of or related to the User‘s use of the platform.
    • Furthermore, the User expressly acknowledges and agrees that Sentinel shall not be liable for any consequences, legal or otherwise, resulting from the User‘s failure to comply with these conditions. Sentinel‘s knowledge, lack of knowledge, or failure to act upon any non-compliance by the User shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights, remedies, or defenses available to Sentinel under these Terms or applicable law.
    • Fork Handling: Like all decentralized, open-source blockchains and blockchain protocols, the Validator Nodes may experience "Forks". Forks occur when some or all of the people running the software for a specific blockchain adopt a new client or a new version of an existing client that: (a) changes the protocol rules in a backward-compatible or backward-incompatible way that affects which transactions can be added into later blocks, how later blocks are added to the blockchain, or other matters relating to the protocol‘s future operation; or (b) reorganizes or changes past blocks to alter the history of the blockchain. Some forks are "contentious", and as a result, two or more lasting alternate versions of the protocol or blockchain may be perceived or claimed to be the genuine continuation of the original. Sentinel may be unable to predict, control, or influence the incidence or result of Validator Nodes or other blockchain splits, and assumes no risk, responsibility, or duty in this regard. Without limiting the extent of the foregoing, Sentinel assumes no duty for informing Users of pending, threatened, or actual forks. Sentinel will respond to any Forks in its full and absolute discretion, and Sentinel shall have no duty or liability to the User if such action benefits Sentinel at the expense of the User. Without limiting the generality of the preceding, Sentinel‘s possible and permissible responses to a Fork include, among other things, (i) continuing to serve as a Validating Node on both chains; (ii) serving as a Validating Node only on one chain; (iii) ceasing to serve as a Validating Node on both chains; or (iv) switching from serving as a Validating Node on one such chain to serving as Validating Node on the other chain. In the case of a Fork, the same amount of tokens/Validation Rights that were bonded/successfully Delegated to Sentinel on the original chain will be bonded/delegated to Sentinel on the Forked chain by default. If Sentinel does not choose to support both chains, the User‘s validation rights and voting rights on the unsupported chain may go unexecuted, and the User may temporarily or permanently lose Delegated Funds and/or Staking Rewards. User assumes full responsibility for autonomously staying informed about prospective Forks and managing User‘s interests in connection with them, including possibly withdrawing a Delegation to the public key of Sentinel‘s Validator Node on a Fork that Sentinel does not support.
    • Except as otherwise specified in these Terms, the outcomes of Services shall be determinative of the rights and duties of and shall be final, binding on, and non-appealable by the parties to these Terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, User acknowledges and agrees that taking any action or exercising any right, power, or privilege that a Validating Node may take or exercise shall not constitute a breach, violation, or contravention of these Terms or any duty or obligation owed by Sentinel to User and that any percentage of Staking Rewards, Transaction Fees, or other rewards paid to Sentinel as a consequence of Services constitute Management Fees and shall be the exclusive property of Sentinel, with no claim, rights, or interests in them.
    • Non-Custodial: Sentinel operates strictly as a non-custodial staking infrastructure provider and does not, at any point, take custody, possession, or control of your digital assets, tokens, private keys, or wallet credentials, nor is it responsible for the acts or omissions of your custodians and other service providers. Users are solely omissions of your custodians and other service providers. Users are solely responsible for managing and safeguarding their cryptographic private keys and wallet access. Sentinel does not request, store, or recover your private keys, and the User should not share your wallet information with Sentinel or any unauthorized party, and any transactions executed through your wallet (whether by Users or any third party) shall be deemed authorized by User. We make no representations or warranties regarding the compatibility of our Services with any specific wallet provider, blockchain network, or third-party application. You acknowledge that your wallet is an independent, third-party tool, and We assume no responsibility or liability for its security, functionality, errors, or any unauthorized access, failures, or disruptions in connection with your use of any wallet. Sentinel is not responsible for any loss of funds, staking rewards, penalties, or slashing events resulting from issues related to your wallet, incorrect transactions, or unauthorized access.
    • No Fiduciary Responsibility: These Terms do not create or impose any fiduciary duties on Sentinel. To the fullest extent permitted by law, You acknowledge and agree that Sentinel owes the User (Client) no fiduciary obligations, trust obligations, or equitable duties. Any and all fiduciary duties that may otherwise exist at law or in equity are hereby expressly disclaimed, waived, and eliminated.

  • Risk Disclosure

    • The Client acknowledges and accepts that participation in Services (staking activities and delegation of digital assets) involves inherent risks, including but not limited to:
      • Staking and Digital Asset Risks:
        • Staking carries the risk of partial or total loss of the delegated digital assets due to market volatility, protocol-level failures, validator misbehavior, or disruptions in blockchain network performance.
        • Returns on staking are not guaranteed. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
        • Many blockchain protocols impose Slashing penalties for validator misconduct or technical failures, which may result in the forfeiture of staked assets.
        • Staked assets may be subject to lock-up or unbonding periods, rendering them temporarily illiquid and inaccessible.
        • Staking rewards may be reduced due to factors such as validator downtime, network congestion, protocol changes, or governance decisions.
        • Sentinel and/or its partners do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or maximum generation of staking rewards.
      • Network, Security, and Technical Risks:
        • Staking services rely on decentralized blockchain networks, which may be subject to outages, latency, congestion, forks, or other disruptions that impact performance, reward distribution, or asset availability.
        • Blockchain protocols and smart contracts may contain bugs, design flaws, exploits, or vulnerabilities. Sentinel has no control over the development, maintenance, or security of such third-party protocols.
        • Digital assets are exposed to cybersecurity risks, including hacking, phishing attacks, malware, and network breaches. While Sentinel implements reasonable security practices, no system is immune to attack.
        • Sentinel does not control or manage the Client’s private keys. The Client is solely responsible for securing all private keys and wallet credentials. Loss of access may result in permanent loss of assets.
      • Regulatory and Compliance Risks:
        • The regulatory status of digital assets, staking activities, and related services varies across jurisdictions and is subject to frequent change without notice.
        • Government authorities may impose new restrictions, registration or licensing obligations, tax liabilities, or outright bans.
        • Regulatory actions may result in the freezing, confiscation, or limitation of digital assets or staking services.
        • Some jurisdictions may not recognize digital assets as legal property, affecting Clients’ rights.
        • Legislative changes may limit or prohibit access to the Services, and Sentinel expressly disclaims any liability resulting from such regulatory changes.
      • Third-Party Risks:
        • Sentinel relies on third-party infrastructure, including blockchain networks, custodians, validators, and data providers. Operational failures, mismanagement, or cybersecurity breaches by these third parties may impair service availability or lead to asset losses.
        • Clients who delegate assets via third-party wallets, exchanges, or custodians are subject to the terms and risks imposed by such providers. Sentinel bears no responsibility for losses arising from the acts, omissions, misrepresentations, insolvency, or incompetence of such third parties.
        • Sentinel is not liable for any damages or losses resulting from malicious actors, rogue validators, or unauthorized access, whether such actions occur within or outside Sentinel’s knowledge or control.
      • Availability and Service Risks:
        • While Sentinel endeavors to maintain high availability, access to the Services or Platform may be interrupted due to scheduled maintenance, network issues, or force majeure events.

        • Digital assets may be subject to limited liquidity, and Clients may be unable to unstake or liquidate positions without incurring significant loss or delay.
        • Clients are exposed to counterparty risks, including defaults, bankruptcy, or mismanagement by third parties.
        • Liquidity may further diminish during periods of market stress or high volatility, increasing the risk of capital loss or delayed withdrawals.
      • Digital Asset and Market Risks:
        • The value of digital assets is highly speculative and may fluctuate rapidly due to market sentiment, macroeconomic factors, regulation, or technological evolution.
        • In the event that a single entity gains control over a majority of a blockchain’s network power (e.g., a 51% attack), staking rewards and the integrity of the network may be compromised.
        • Blockchain networks may undergo forks, upgrades, airdrops, or governance actions that affect service compatibility, staking dynamics, and asset valuation.
        • Public perception, media coverage, enforcement actions, or sudden adverse market events may severely impact the value of staked assets.

    • The Client agrees to assume full responsibility for evaluating the risks associated with the Services and to hold Sentinel and its partners harmless from any and all losses or liabilities arising from such risks.
