Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using SolFoundry (the "Platform"), including connecting a cryptocurrency wallet, initiating a token launch, using AI ideation features, or interacting with any functionality provided through the Platform, you ("User," "you," or "your") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms").

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately stop using the Platform.

SolFoundry reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes take effect upon posting to this page. Your continued use of the Platform after any modification constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

2. Eligibility

You represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater
• You have the full legal capacity and authority to enter into these Terms
• You are not located in, organized in, or a resident of any country or territory that is the subject of comprehensive sanctions by the United States (including, without limitation, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine), the European Union, or the United Nations
• You are not identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List) maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), nor on any equivalent list maintained by the EU, UK, or UN
• Your use of the Platform does not violate any applicable law, regulation, or order in your jurisdiction
• You are not using the Platform on behalf of any person or entity that is subject to the restrictions described above

3. Platform Description

SolFoundry is a web-based software interface that allows users to create Solana-based tokens (using the SPL and Token-2022 standards), generate token concepts using AI tools, upload permanent metadata, and configure optional launch protection features.

SolFoundry is NOT:

• A financial institution, broker-dealer, exchange, custodian, or money services business
• A decentralized exchange (DEX) or automated market maker (AMM)
• A custodial service — SolFoundry never has access to, custody of, or control over your private keys, wallet, or funds
• A liquidity provider — SolFoundry does not provide, manage, or facilitate liquidity pools
• An investment platform — SolFoundry does not facilitate the purchase, sale, or trading of tokens
• A securities offering platform — tokens created through SolFoundry are not securities, and the Platform makes no representation regarding the legal classification of any token

4. No Investment Advice

Nothing on the Platform constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, tax advice, or any other form of professional advice. SolFoundry does not recommend, endorse, or make any representation regarding the value, suitability, or profitability of any token created through the Platform.

Tokens created through SolFoundry have no inherent, guaranteed, or promised value. The Platform makes no representation or warranty that any token will appreciate in value, maintain its value, have any liquidity, or be tradeable on any market. Any decision to create, distribute, hold, buy, or sell tokens is made entirely at your own risk and discretion.

You should consult with qualified legal, financial, and tax professionals before creating or interacting with any digital asset.

5. User Responsibilities

You are solely and entirely responsible for:

• All content you create, upload, or associate with tokens through the Platform, including but not limited to names, symbols, descriptions, logos, images, and linked URLs
• Ensuring that your content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights, including copyrights, trademarks, and rights of publicity
• Compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules in your jurisdiction, including securities laws, tax laws, anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, and consumer protection laws
• All tax obligations arising from the creation, distribution, sale, or trading of tokens, including income tax, capital gains tax, VAT, and any other applicable taxes
• The security of your wallet, private keys, and seed phrases — SolFoundry will never ask for your private keys or seed phrase
• Evaluating whether any token you create constitutes a security, commodity, or other regulated instrument under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction
• Any liquidity provision, market making, or trading activity conducted on third-party platforms (such as Raydium, Meteora, Jupiter, or any other DEX) after token creation
• Any promotional claims, marketing materials, or representations you make about tokens created through the Platform

6. Intellectual Property

Platform IP: All rights, title, and interest in the Platform, including its software, design, branding, documentation, and all related intellectual property, are owned exclusively by SolFoundry and its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any rights to use SolFoundry trademarks, service marks, logos, or brand features.

User Content: You retain all intellectual property rights in content you create and upload to the Platform (logos, descriptions, images). By using the Platform to upload content to permanent storage (Irys) or to the Solana blockchain, you grant SolFoundry a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to store, display, reproduce, and distribute that content as necessary to operate the Platform and fulfill your requests.

You represent and warrant that you own or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions for any content you upload or associate with a token through the Platform.

Meme and Cultural Content: You acknowledge that digital assets and tokens, particularly those within the meme or community categories, may incorporate cultural references, internet phenomena, or elements of popular culture. While SolFoundry does not endorse intellectual property infringement, you acknowledge that certain uses may constitute fair use, parody, commentary, or transformative works under applicable law. You assume full responsibility for determining the legality of your content and any associated intellectual property implications.

7. AI-Generated Content

The Platform offers optional AI-powered ideation tools that generate token names, symbols, descriptions, and artwork ("AI Content"). By using these features, you acknowledge and agree:

• AI Content is generated by third-party AI models (currently Google Gemini) and SolFoundry makes no representations or warranties regarding its accuracy, originality, appropriateness, or fitness for any purpose
• AI Content may inadvertently resemble existing trademarks, copyrighted works, or other protected material — it is your sole responsibility to review all AI Content before use and to verify it does not infringe third-party rights
• The copyright status of AI-generated content varies by jurisdiction and is subject to evolving legal standards — SolFoundry makes no representation that AI Content is protectable by copyright or any other intellectual property right
• SolFoundry is not liable for any claims, damages, or losses arising from your use of AI Content, including intellectual property infringement claims
• AI models may produce unexpected, inaccurate, offensive, or nonsensical output — you assume all risk associated with using AI Content

8. Blockchain Immutability

You acknowledge and understand that blockchain transactions are irreversible by design. Once a transaction is confirmed on the Solana network:

• Token creation (minting) cannot be undone — the mint account and token supply exist permanently on-chain
• Metadata uploaded to permanent storage (Irys) is immutable and cannot be modified, deleted, or removed by SolFoundry or any party
• Authority revocations (mint authority, freeze authority, metadata update authority) are permanent and irreversible
• Token transfers, including distribution to wallets, cannot be reversed or recalled by SolFoundry
• SOL paid as platform fees and network fees is non-recoverable once the transaction is confirmed
• SolFoundry has no ability to reverse, modify, cancel, or "undo" any on-chain action taken through the Platform

9. Fees and Payments

SolFoundry charges fees for certain services, currently denominated in SOL. All fees are displayed on the review screen before you sign any transaction.

• All fees are final and non-refundable once the transaction is confirmed on the Solana blockchain
• SolFoundry reserves the right to change fee amounts at any time — the fee applicable to your transaction is the fee displayed at the time you sign
• Network fees (Solana transaction fees, rent-exempt balances) are charged by the Solana network, not by SolFoundry, and are outside our control
• Fees are quoted in SOL — SolFoundry makes no guarantees regarding the fiat-equivalent value of any fee at the time of payment or at any future date
• Failed transactions due to network congestion, insufficient balance, or other on-chain conditions may still incur Solana network fees — these are not refundable by SolFoundry
• If a transaction fails due to a verifiable Platform-side bug (not network conditions), SolFoundry may, at its sole discretion, offer a credit or re-attempt — this is not a guarantee or obligation

10. Anti-Sniper Protection

The Anti-Sniper Protection is an optional fee scheduler that imposes higher trading fees during the early phase of a pool launch. By using this feature, you acknowledge and agree:

• The Shield is provided strictly "as-is" with no guarantee of effectiveness against all sniping, front-running, sandwich attacks, or other adversarial trading strategies
• The fee scheduler does not prevent trades routed through pools on other DEXs or multi-wallet strategies
• The Shield operates on-chain and is subject to the behavior of the Solana runtime, validators, and network conditions — SolFoundry cannot guarantee its operation under all circumstances
• The Shield does not constitute a security guarantee and does not replace the need for your own due diligence regarding launch strategy and market risks
• SolFoundry is not liable for any losses, damages, or adverse outcomes arising from the use or non-use of the anti-sniper fee scheduler, including but not limited to sniping, bot activity, price manipulation, or loss of token value

11. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use the Platform for any of the following purposes. Violation of this section may result in immediate termination of your access and referral to law enforcement where applicable:

• Creating tokens that constitute unregistered securities offerings under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction
• Fraud, deception, or misrepresentation, including creating tokens with the intent to deceive purchasers about the nature, value, or backing of the token (commonly known as "rug pulls")
• Money laundering, terrorist financing, or any activity that violates applicable anti-money laundering (AML) or counter-terrorism financing (CTF) laws
• Sanctions evasion or facilitating transactions involving sanctioned persons, entities, or jurisdictions
• Impersonation of any person, entity, project, or brand, or creating tokens that falsely suggest endorsement by or affiliation with any third party
• Creating tokens that promote hate speech, violence, exploitation of minors, or other content that is illegal or harmful
• Attempting to exploit, disrupt, or interfere with the Platform, its infrastructure, smart contracts, or the Solana network
• Using the Platform to facilitate market manipulation, wash trading, pump-and-dump schemes, or other manipulative trading practices
• Circumventing any access controls, rate limits, or security measures implemented by the Platform
• Using the Platform in any manner that could expose SolFoundry to legal liability or regulatory action

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SOLFOUNDRY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT

• WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE PLATFORM

• WARRANTIES REGARDING THE OPERATION OF THE SOLANA BLOCKCHAIN, RPC NODES, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY INFRASTRUCTURE
• WARRANTIES THAT THE ANTI-SNIPER SHIELD OR ANY OTHER FEATURE WILL PERFORM AS EXPECTED UNDER ALL CONDITIONS

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SOLFOUNDRY, ITS FOUNDERS, CONTRIBUTORS, AFFILIATES, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, TOKEN VALUE, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF SOLFOUNDRY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SOLFOUNDRY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO SOLFOUNDRY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100.00).

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SolFoundry, its founders, contributors, affiliates, agents, and service providers from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with:

• Your use of or conduct on the Platform
• Tokens you create, distribute, or promote using the Platform

• Any regulatory action, investigation, or proceeding arising from your use of the Platform

15. Privacy and Data

Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, available at /docs/privacy. By using the Platform, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.

You acknowledge that:

• Wallet addresses, token metadata, and transaction data are publicly visible on the Solana blockchain by design — this is not a data breach or privacy violation
• SolFoundry uses analytics tools (PostHog) to understand Platform usage patterns — no personally identifiable information is collected through analytics
• AI ideation prompts are transmitted to third-party AI providers (Google Gemini) for processing
• Metadata uploaded to permanent storage (Irys) is publicly accessible and cannot be deleted
• SolFoundry does not collect, store, or have access to your private keys, seed phrases, or wallet passwords

16. DMCA and Content Takedowns

SolFoundry respects intellectual property rights and responds to valid DMCA notices in accordance with applicable law. See our DMCA Guidelines at /docs/dmca-guidelines for the full takedown procedure.

You acknowledge that due to the permanent and decentralized nature of blockchain technology and Irys storage, SolFoundry's ability to remove or modify content is limited to the application layer it controls. SolFoundry cannot alter, delete, or censor data that has been permanently recorded on the Solana blockchain or Irys network.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered under the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA). The arbitration shall be conducted in English by a single arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be London, England.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against SolFoundry.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, SolFoundry may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of its intellectual property rights.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.

19. Force Majeure

SolFoundry shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to:

• Solana blockchain congestion, network outages, or validator failures
• RPC node failures, rate limits, or unavailability
• Smart contract bugs, exploits, or vulnerabilities in third-party protocols
• Changes in applicable law, regulation, or government action
• Sanctions designations or regulatory orders affecting Platform operations
• Third-party service provider outages (Irys, Google Gemini, wallet providers)
• Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks or other cybersecurity incidents
• Natural disasters, pandemics, wars, or other acts of force majeure

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and DMCA Guidelines, constitute the entire agreement between you and SolFoundry with respect to your use of the Platform and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements, whether oral or written, between you and SolFoundry regarding the Platform.

No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision. SolFoundry's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

21. Risk Disclosures

Cryptocurrency and digital assets involve significant risks. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you understand and accept the following risks:

• Volatility risk — The value of digital assets, including SOL and any tokens created through the Platform, can fluctuate dramatically and may drop to zero. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
• Smart contract risk — The Platform interacts with smart contracts on the Solana blockchain. Smart contracts may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or behave unexpectedly. SolFoundry conducts testing but does not guarantee that its contracts are free from defects.
• Regulatory risk — The regulatory landscape for digital assets is evolving and uncertain. Changes in law or regulation may adversely affect the legality, use, transferability, or value of tokens created through the Platform. You may be subject to regulatory action in your jurisdiction.
• Loss of funds — Transactions on the Solana blockchain are irreversible. If you send tokens or SOL to the wrong address, lose access to your wallet, or your private keys are compromised, your funds may be permanently lost. SolFoundry cannot recover lost funds.
• Network risk — The Solana blockchain may experience congestion, outages, forks, or other disruptions that could affect token creation, transfers, or the operation of on-chain features like the Anti-Sniper Protection.
• Third-party risk — The Platform relies on third-party infrastructure including Solana RPC nodes, Irys for permanent storage, wallet providers (Phantom, Solflare), and AI providers (Google Gemini). Failures or changes in these services may affect Platform functionality.
• Liquidity risk — Tokens created through the Platform have no guaranteed liquidity. Listing on DEXes, providing liquidity, and market making are entirely the responsibility of the token creator and are conducted on third-party platforms outside SolFoundry's control.
• Tax risk — The tax treatment of digital assets varies by jurisdiction and is subject to change. You are solely responsible for determining your tax obligations and for filing all required tax returns.
• Technology risk — The Platform is software and may contain bugs, errors, or vulnerabilities. While SolFoundry endeavors to maintain and improve the Platform, no software is guaranteed to be free from defects.
