ARKIS INTERFACE TERMS OF USE
Last updated May 2026.
Last updated May 2026.
These Interface Terms of Use (these “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Arkis’ website(s), web pages, and related services made available at https://arkis.xyz and any successor or related domains, subdomains, and applications (collectively, the “Site”), including any user interface, dashboard, or other front-end made available by Arkis to access or interact with Arkis markets, vaults, smart contracts, or related functionality (the “Interface”, and together with the Site, the “Services”).
“Arkis,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PRM Labs Ltd., a private limited company domiciled in the United Kingdom, together with its affiliates as applicable. You can contact us at [legal@arkis.xyz].
Agreement to be Bound. By accessing or using any of the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy ([link]). If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” includes that entity.
Electronic Communications. By accessing or using the Services, you consent to receive all communications from Arkis in electronic form, including by email or by posting notices on the Site. You agree that all notices, disclosures, agreements, and other communications that Arkis provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You waive any rights to require an original (non-electronic) signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, to the extent such waiver is not prohibited by applicable law.
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Site. The “Last Updated” date above indicates when these Terms were last revised. Your continued access to or use of the Services after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice, including changing features, availability, content, or access requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any modifications to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Section 19 (Governing Law; Dispute Resolution) will not apply to any dispute for which the parties had actual notice prior to the date such modification is posted on the Site.
The Services are primarily informational and provide an interface to access Arkis functionality. Your participation in any Arkis market, vault, or other product (including lending, borrowing, liquidity provision, vault participation, or any other transaction) may be subject to separate agreements, disclosures, schedules, term sheets, and/or onboarding documentation that you enter into with Arkis or other parties (collectively, “Onboarding Agreements”).
These Terms do not amend any Onboarding Agreement. If there is a conflict between these Terms and an applicable Onboarding Agreement, the Onboarding Agreement controls to the extent of the conflict.
The Services and any information provided through the Services (including descriptions of Arkis, markets, vaults, fees, risk controls, portfolio margining, collateral frameworks, or performance information) are provided for informational purposes only and may be incomplete, outdated, or subject to change. We do not represent or warrant that any information is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any particular purpose.
Nothing on the Services constitutes, or should be construed as, (a) an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any asset or financial product, (b) an offer or solicitation to enter into any transaction, (c) investment, financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other advice, or (d) a recommendation or endorsement of any asset, protocol, market, vault, curator, strategy, borrower, lender, or other party. You should perform your own diligence and consult qualified advisers before making decisions.
Except as expressly set forth in any applicable Onboarding Agreement, Arkis provides software, interface and related technology services and does not itself make investment decisions for users, create or sponsor any user trading strategy, or exercise discretionary control over any user’s assets.
You may use the Services only if you can legally enter into these Terms and are not prohibited from using the Services under these Terms or applicable law. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your access to and use of the Services is lawful in your jurisdiction and complies with all applicable laws and regulations (including tax obligations).
The Services are intended for institutional and professional users. For the purposes of these Terms, "institutional and professional users" means entities and natural persons who (a) are acting in a business, commercial, professional, or institutional capacity and not primarily as a consumer, and (b) possess sufficient knowledge and experience in financial, blockchain, and digital asset matters to evaluate the risks of using the Services. By accessing or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you do not meet these requirements, you must not access or use the Services.
Without limiting the foregoing, you may not use the Services if (a) you are a resident of, located in, or organized under the laws of any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions, embargoes, or other restrictions administered or enforced by the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or other applicable authorities; (b) you are identified on any sanctions or restricted party list (including the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control “SDN” list); or (c) your use of the Services would violate applicable law. We may implement controls (including geofencing) to restrict access, and you agree not to circumvent any such controls.
Additional eligibility requirements may apply to access certain parts of the Services (including the Interface), and such requirements may be enforced through Onboarding Agreements, access controls, KYC/KYB, and similar measures.
The Services may be accessed or used in different ways. Depending on how you use the Services, we want to bring specific provisions to your attention:
• Visitor. If you are only browsing the public Site or reading content, these Terms apply to your access and use of the Site, and you acknowledge Section 4 and Section 11 apply in full.
• Interface User. If you connect a wallet or otherwise interact with the Interface, you agree that you are responsible for all wallet-related actions and permissions (Section 7), and all interactions are at your own risk (Section 11).
• Onboarded Participant. If you participate as a lender, borrower, liquidity provider, vault participant, curator, or other participant in any Arkis product, you may be required to enter into one or more Onboarding Agreements. Those Onboarding Agreements govern your participation and control in the event of a conflict (Section 3).
• Vault Participant. Where you participate in a vault curated by a third party, you acknowledge that vault composition may change, a curator may receive fees, and Arkis is not responsible for curator decisions, subject to any Onboarding Agreements that apply to you.
To interact with certain parts of the Interface, you may need to connect a self-custodial wallet or other third-party tools (e.g., wallets, custody solutions, signing utilities, or other Web3 tools) (collectively, “Third-Party Utilities”). Third-Party Utilities are provided by third parties and are generally governed by separate terms and policies between you and those third parties.
You are solely responsible for (a) the security of your wallet(s), private keys, seed phrases, credentials, and devices; (b) any approvals, permissions, signatures, or authorizations you grant; and (c) ensuring that you use only wallet addresses and credentials that you own or are authorized to use. Transactions executed using your wallet credentials are deemed authorized by you, whether or not actually authorized.
You agree not to share access to your wallet identity or credentials in connection with the Services, and to lock or otherwise secure your devices and wallet utilities when not in use.
You represent and warrant that any digital assets, wallet addresses, credentials or permissions you use in connection with the Services are lawfully obtained and either owned by you or used by you with all necessary authority, approvals and permissions.
The Services may reference or provide access to markets and/or vaults. A “vault” may involve third-party curators. A curator is an independent third party and is not our agent, partner, fiduciary, or representative. We do not control, supervise, or assume responsibility for any curator’s acts or omissions, methodologies, selections, allocations, or other decisions.
References on the Services to any vault, curator, market, or other third party do not constitute endorsement or a recommendation and are provided for informational purposes only. Where vaults or curators are involved, additional terms, disclosures, and fee arrangements (including curator performance fees paid by participants) may apply through Onboarding Agreements.
You agree not to, and not to attempt to, directly or indirectly:
Use the Services for any unlawful purpose, including violating sanctions, export controls, anti-money laundering laws, or other applicable law.
Circumvent, bypass, or attempt to circumvent any access restrictions, geofencing, usage limits, or security features of the Services.
Interfere with or disrupt the Services or the systems, networks, or security of Arkis or any third party used in connection with the Services.
Upload or transmit malware or other harmful code; conduct distributed denial-of-service attacks; or otherwise attack, hack, exploit, or interfere with any smart contract, protocol, or network in connection with the Services (actions technically permitted by a smart contract may still violate these Terms and applicable law).
Copy, reproduce, scrape, harvest, mine, or otherwise collect data from the Services through automated means without our prior written permission.
Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code or underlying ideas of any part of the Services (except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law).
Impersonate any person or entity, or use the Services under false or fraudulent pretenses.
Use the Services in a manner that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates our or any third party’s intellectual property or other rights.
Use the Services in connection with bribery, corruption, improper payments to public officials, fraud, market abuse, money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, or any other unlawful activity.
We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate access to the Services, and may disclose information as necessary to comply with law or governmental requests.
The Services and all content, features, and functionality (including text, graphics, logos, photographs, audio, video, software, and design) are owned by Arkis or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your internal business or personal informational purposes (as applicable) until these Terms are terminated.
Except as expressly permitted by these Terms, you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any portion of the Services. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
If you submit, transmit, or otherwise make available any feedback, suggestions, ideas, comments, or other input to Arkis in connection with the Services ("Feedback"), you hereby grant Arkis a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly display, and otherwise exploit such Feedback for any purpose without obligation, compensation, or attribution to you. You represent and warrant that you have the right to grant the foregoing license.
The Services may include content provided by third parties or links to third-party websites, tools, protocols, or resources. Such links are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, or services, and your use of any third-party resource is at your own risk and subject to that third party’s terms.
Some content may include forward-looking statements or projections. These are inherently uncertain and should not be relied upon as guarantees of future performance or outcomes.
Arkis is not responsible for the quality, legality, safety, value, transferability or performance of any digital asset, protocol, market, venue, counterparty or third-party service that you access or interact with through or in connection with the Services, and Arkis does not guarantee that any third party is authorized, solvent, available, or able or willing to complete any transaction.
Digital assets, blockchain networks, and smart contracts involve significant risks, including volatility, liquidity constraints, forks, outages, consensus failures, transaction delays, chain reorganizations, bugs, exploits, oracle failures, and cybersecurity incidents. Transactions may be irreversible, and you may lose some or all of the digital assets you use in connection with the Services.
You acknowledge and agree that you assume all risks related to your use of the Services and any interaction with markets, vaults, protocols, or smart contracts, including risks described in any Onboarding Agreements. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby irrevocably release, acquit, and forever discharge Arkis and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, and licensors from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) of every kind and nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to your use of the Services or any interaction with any market, vault, protocol, or smart contract. You expressly waive any rights you may have under any statute or common law principle that would otherwise limit a general release to only those claims known or suspected to exist at the time of executing such release.
You are solely responsible for your own errors and omissions, including transactions sent to incorrect addresses, incorrect transaction parameters, lost or compromised credentials, mistaken wallet approvals, deleted wallets, device failures, and failure to understand applicable smart contract or protocol mechanics.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in a signed writing, Arkis does not act as your broker, dealer, exchange, custodian, investment adviser, or fiduciary. Your use of the Services does not create any fiduciary duties between you and Arkis. We do not take custody of your private keys.
Any smart contract functionality may involve the movement of assets to and from smart contract addresses; however, you remain responsible for understanding the applicable mechanics, permissions, and risks.
Our collection and use of information in connection with the Services is described in our Privacy Policy ([link]), which is incorporated by reference. By using the Services, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of information as described therein.
To the extent that applicable data protection laws (including the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the EU General Data Protection Regulation) apply to Arkis's processing of your personal data in connection with the Services, Arkis will process such personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable law. If you are located in a jurisdiction that affords you specific data protection rights (including rights of access, rectification, erasure, data portability, or the right to object to processing), you may exercise those rights by contacting us at [legal@arkis.xyz]. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under applicable data protection law that cannot be contractually waived.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. ARKIS AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, RELIABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. ANY RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
The Services may be unavailable, delayed, interrupted or degraded due to maintenance, upgrades, equipment or network failures, blockchain or protocol issues, third-party service-provider issues, cybersecurity events, or circumstances beyond Arkis’s control.
No governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority has endorsed, approved or recommended the Services, any Arkis market, any vault, any curator, or any information made available through the Services.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ARKIS OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARKIS’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) US$100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY YOU TO ARKIS FOR ACCESS TO THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. The limitations and exclusions in this Section 16 do not apply to (a) liability arising from Arkis's fraud or willful misconduct, or (b) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Arkis and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (c) your infringement or misappropriation of any third-party right; or (d) your misuse of any Third-Party Utility or interaction with any third-party protocol, market, vault, or curator, except to the extent directly caused by Arkis's gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms, pose a security or compliance risk, or if we are required to do so to comply with law or a governmental request. You may stop using the Services at any time.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (including Sections 3, 4, 12, 15–20).
These Terms are governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands, without regard to conflict of law principles. Except as provided below, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, or in relation to, these Terms, including the validity, breach, or termination thereof, will be resolved by arbitration to be administered by the BVI International Arbitration Centre (BVI IAC) and governed by the Arbitration Act, 2013, as amended, except that either Party may seek injunctive or equitable relief to protect intellectual property or confidential information. Tto the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that you will not seek or be entitled to obtain any injunction or other equitable relief that would restrain, enjoin, or otherwise prevent the development, operation, or availability of the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, this waiver does not limit Arkis's right to seek injunctive or equitable relief as set forth in this Section. The number of arbitrators will be one. The seat of the arbitration will be Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English. The arbitrator will follow the laws of the British Virgin Islands in adjudicating the dispute. The determinations of the arbitrator will be final and will not be subject to judicial review; provided, however, that any award or determination rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties will share equally the costs of arbitration, including the costs of transcribing the arbitration, but each Party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and related costs, unless otherwise provided by law or statute. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any action that may not be submitted to arbitration under applicable law, including the enforcement of any arbitration ruling, will be tried by a court of competent jurisdiction located in the British Virgin Islands. To that end, the Parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the British Virgin Islands for this limited purpose.
If you are subject to an Onboarding Agreement that contains a dispute resolution provision, that provision will govern disputes within its scope.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, 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 agree to waive any right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, or representative proceeding against Arkis. If any court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason, or that a proceeding may proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void with respect to such proceeding and the dispute shall be subject to litigation in the courts specified in this Section 19, but the class action waiver shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. You and Arkis each waive any right to a jury trial.
Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action or claim is permanently barred. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in arbitration, at law, in equity, or otherwise.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unlawful, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of such right or provision.
Entire Agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Arkis regarding the Services, except for any applicable Onboarding Agreements.
