You understand and agree to the inherent risks of cryptographic systems, blockchain networks, and Digital Assets. Hectare does not own or control the underlying blockchain software. You acknowledge that Hectare is not responsible for blockchain network operation and that underlying networks are subject to sudden rule changes ("forks") that may materially affect the Services.

All information provided through the Services is for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional financial, legal, or tax advice. You should seek independent professional advice before making any financial or legal decisions. These Terms do not create any fiduciary duties.

Hectare, third parties, and Network Participants are not responsible for software that infects your equipment or property as a result of accessing or using the Services or any downloaded content.

The Services and Digital Assets may be impacted by regulatory inquiries or actions. Hectare must comply with Applicable Laws, which may require providing information or taking action at government request.

Effective use of the Services requires a comprehensive understanding of applied cryptography and the computer science risks inherent to digital assets. References to Digital Asset types do not indicate Hectare approval and should not substitute for your own risk assessment.

You are solely responsible for the security of your digital wallet, including your passwords, private keys, seed phrases, and credentials. Hectare does not create, operate, maintain, or take custody of any wallet. Unauthorized third-party access to your wallet may result in permanent asset loss for which Hectare bears no responsibility.
