L4VA TERMS OF USE

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the L4VA platform, including all websites, interfaces, smart contracts, APIs, integrations, documentation, and related services (collectively, the "Platform"), operated by L4VA Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation ("L4VA," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.

1. WHAT L4VA IS (AND IS NOT)

L4VA provides non-custodial, open-source software infrastructure that enables users to create, participate in, and govern blockchain-based vaults using digital assets.

L4VA is not:

• A custodian, escrow agent, or trustee
• An asset manager or investment adviser
• A broker-dealer, dealer, exchange, transfer agent, or clearing agency
• A fiduciary
• A marketplace operator
• A party to user-created vaults or transactions

All actions on the Platform are user-directed and executed through third-party wallets, blockchain networks, and protocols.

2. NO BROKER-DEALER, ISSUER, OR SECURITIES ACTIVITY

L4VA Technologies, Inc. is not a broker-dealer, dealer, investment adviser, transfer agent, exchange, or clearing agency, and is not registered as such with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority.

L4VA does not issue, offer, sell, promote, or distribute securities, investment contracts, or financial instruments.

Any tokens, vault interests, governance rights, or digital assets referenced or utilized on the Platform are:

• Created and controlled by users or independent third parties
• Governed by protocol-defined rules
• Not issued by L4VA

Nothing on the Platform constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or sell securities in any jurisdiction.

3. ELIGIBILITY

You represent that you:

• Are at least 18 years old
• Have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms
• Are not prohibited from using blockchain services under applicable law

You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Platform complies with applicable laws.

4. NON-CUSTODIAL NATURE

L4VA does not custody, control, or possess user funds, digital assets, or private keys.

You are solely responsible for:

• Wallet security
• Private key management
• All transactions initiated through your wallet

Blockchain transactions are irreversible.

5. VAULTS AND USER RESPONSIBILITY

Vaults created using the Platform are:

• Created by users
• Governed by token holders
• Controlled by protocol-defined rules

L4VA does not guarantee:

• Vault performance or outcomes
• Asset values, liquidity, or pricing
• Governance fairness or effectiveness

You acknowledge that governance decisions may result in partial or total loss of assets.

6. GOVERNANCE VOTING AND EXECUTION

6.1 Off-Chain Governance Vote Calculation

Governance voting power is currently calculated off-chain using objective, deterministic snapshot data derived from on-chain wallet states, including token balances at a defined block height or timestamp.

L4VA does not subjectively evaluate, weight, interpret, or alter votes.

6.2 Snapshot Methodology

Voting eligibility and weight are determined solely by snapshot data. Transfers or changes occurring after the snapshot are not reflected.

Users accept all risks associated with snapshot-based governance.

6.3 Transparency and Auditability

L4VA surfaces governance voting logs, tallies, and execution records for transparency and auditability. These records are intended to enable independent verification based on disclosed rules and snapshot data.

6.4 Governance Execution Authority

Certain vaults may designate a smart contract, multisignature wallet, or execution key controlled or co-controlled by L4VA (or its designees) solely to execute governance outcomes that have been validly approved through protocol-defined mechanisms.

L4VA acts only in a ministerial, non-discretionary, execution-only capacity and:

• Does not initiate governance actions
• Does not influence voting outcomes
• Does not override or reinterpret results

Execution reflects collective user decisions, not decisions by L4VA.

6.5 Future On-Chain Governance

L4VA intends to transition governance voting and execution to fully on-chain mechanisms in the future. No guarantees are made regarding timing or implementation.

7. TEAM MEMBER PARTICIPATION; NO AGENCY OR ENDORSEMENT

Certain founders, employees, contractors, or contributors associated with L4VA Technologies, Inc. ("Team Members") may interact with the Platform solely in their personal capacities.

Any such participation:

• Is undertaken as an individual user, not on behalf of L4VA
• Occurs through personal wallets
• Is subject to the same rules, fees, and risks as any other user

Team Members do not act as agents, representatives, or fiduciaries of L4VA when configuring vaults, contributing assets, voting, or otherwise interacting with the Platform.

No vault shall be deemed "official," "endorsed," "managed," or "sponsored" by L4VA solely because one or more Team Members participated.

L4VA Technologies, Inc. itself does not contribute assets to vaults, does not hold vault tokens, and does not participate in governance except in an execution-only capacity.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, L4VA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
