Sushi — Terms

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Sushi interface at sushi.com, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service in their entirety. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the operators of this platform. If you do not agree with any provision contained herein, you must discontinue use of the service immediately. Continued access to or use of the platform following any updates to these terms will be considered acceptance of the revised version. These terms apply to all visitors, registered users, liquidity providers, and any other individuals who interact with the service in any capacity.

2. Eligibility Requirements

Access to the Sushi platform is restricted to individuals who are at least 18 years of age and possess the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts under the laws of their jurisdiction. Residents of countries subject to comprehensive sanctions, or jurisdictions where the use of decentralized exchange services is explicitly prohibited by law, are not permitted to use this service. By using the platform, you represent and warrant that your use complies with all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations. The service reserves the right to restrict access based on geographic location and to require additional verification if reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations.

3. Account and Wallet Terms

Unlike centralized exchanges, Sushi does not require users to create a traditional account with a username and password. Access is facilitated through a compatible Web3 wallet, and you are solely responsible for the security of your wallet credentials, including your private keys and recovery phrase. The platform has no ability to recover lost wallet access or reverse transactions that have been confirmed on-chain. You agree not to share wallet access with unauthorized parties and to notify the team promptly if you become aware of any unauthorized use. All on-chain transactions initiated through your connected wallet are your sole responsibility.

4. Acceptable Use of Service

The platform may be used only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. You agree to use the service in good faith and in a manner consistent with its intended function as a decentralized trading interface. You must not attempt to manipulate markets, artificially inflate trading volumes, or engage in any activity that could harm other users or the integrity of the liquidity pools. The service is provided as a user interface for interacting with independently deployed smart contracts; it does not custody assets, execute trades on your behalf, or provide investment advice. Users are responsible for conducting their own due diligence before executing any transaction.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

The Sushi name, logo, interface design, and all associated proprietary content displayed on sushi.com are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. While the underlying smart contracts are open-source and available under their respective licenses, the website's design, written content, and branding elements remain the property of the platform's operators. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the interface for its intended purpose. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any proprietary content without prior written permission. Any feedback or suggestions you submit may be used by the platform without obligation or compensation.

6. Prohibited Conduct

Users of this service are strictly prohibited from engaging in conduct that is illegal, harmful, or disruptive to the platform or its community. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to: attempting to exploit smart contract vulnerabilities for unauthorized gain, using automated bots to engage in front-running or sandwich attacks against other traders, uploading malicious code or attempting to interfere with the platform's infrastructure, impersonating team members or other users, and using the service to launder proceeds of criminal activity. The platform reserves the right to block wallet addresses or restrict interface access for users who are found to have engaged in prohibited conduct, without prior notice.

7. Disclaimers

The Sushi interface is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. The platform does not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from security vulnerabilities at all times. Cryptocurrency trading involves significant financial risk, including the potential loss of your entire investment, and nothing on this platform constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Smart contract interactions carry inherent risks including bugs, exploits, and market volatility that are beyond the control of the interface operators. You assume full responsibility for all risks associated with your use of the service and any on-chain transactions you initiate.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operators of the Sushi platform shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the service. This includes, without limitation, losses resulting from smart contract vulnerabilities, market movements, failed transactions, temporary service outages, or unauthorized access to your wallet. The platform's total aggregate liability for any direct damages shall not exceed the amount of fees, if any, paid by you to the platform in the three months 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.

9. Indemnification

By using the Sushi service, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the platform's operators, developers, contributors, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses — including reasonable legal fees — arising out of or related to your use of the interface, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights. This indemnification obligation survives the termination of your access to the service. The platform reserves the right to assume exclusive control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate fully with any such defense. You may not settle any claim covered by this section without the prior written consent of the platform.

10. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms or the use of the Sushi platform shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If a resolution cannot be reached within 30 days of written notice of the dispute, the matter shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of a mutually agreed arbitration body. Arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis; class action lawsuits and class-wide arbitration are expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by law. The language of arbitration shall be English, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.

11. Termination of Access

The operators of the platform reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Sushi interface at any time, with or without notice, if you are found to be in violation of these terms or applicable law. Because the underlying smart contracts are deployed on public blockchains, termination of interface access does not affect your ability to interact directly with those contracts through other means. You may also discontinue use of the service at any time by simply ceasing to connect your wallet and navigating away from the site. Provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive termination — including disclaimers, liability limitations, indemnification, and dispute resolution — shall remain in full force after any termination.

12. Changes to These Terms

The platform reserves the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time to reflect changes in its operations, applicable laws, or the features offered by the service. When significant changes are made, users will be notified through a prominent notice on sushi.com, and the effective date at the top of the document will be updated accordingly. Your continued use of the platform after the effective date of any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the revised terms, you must stop using the service before the effective date. It is your responsibility to review these terms periodically to ensure you remain informed of the conditions governing your use of the platform.
