By accessing or using Goldliquid ("the Protocol" or "the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you may not access or use the Protocol.

Goldliquid is a decentralized protocol operating through smart contracts on the Arbitrum blockchain. These Terms govern your interaction with the Protocol. Please read them carefully.

2. Eligibility

To use Goldliquid, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction)
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts
  • Not be prohibited from using the Platform under applicable laws
  • Not be located in a jurisdiction where cryptocurrency trading is illegal

You represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.

3. Description of Service

Goldliquid is a decentralized perpetual futures trading platform that allows users to trade ALTIN.S1 (Gold) perpetual contracts with leverage on the Arbitrum blockchain. The Platform:

  • Facilitates trading of ALTIN.S1 perpetual futures contracts
  • Supports leverage trading (up to 100x, subject to risk parameters)
  • Uses USDT (or USDT0 on Arbitrum) as collateral
  • Operates through smart contracts on Arbitrum
  • Provides a self-custodial trading experience (you control your wallet)

Important: Goldliquid is a decentralized protocol, not a centralized exchange. No entity holds your funds or executes trades on your behalf. All transactions are executed directly through immutable smart contracts on the Arbitrum blockchain. The protocol operates autonomously without central control.

4. Risks and Disclaimers

4.1 Trading Risks

Trading perpetual futures involves substantial risk of loss. You acknowledge that:

  • You may lose all or more than your initial collateral
  • Leverage amplifies both gains and losses
  • Positions can be liquidated if they reach the liquidation threshold
  • Market volatility can cause rapid price movements
  • Past performance does not guarantee future results

4.2 Smart Contract Risks

Smart contracts are subject to:

  • Bugs, vulnerabilities, or exploits
  • Network congestion or failures
  • Oracle price feed failures or manipulation
  • Regulatory changes affecting blockchain technology

4.3 No Investment Advice

Goldliquid does not provide investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. All trading decisions are your own. You should consult with qualified professionals before making financial decisions.

4.4 No Warranty

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

5. User Responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Maintain the security of your wallet and private keys
  • Not share your wallet credentials with anyone
  • Verify all transaction details before confirming
  • Use the Platform only for lawful purposes
  • Not attempt to manipulate prices, exploit bugs, or engage in fraud

  • Funding fees: Periodic fees based on open interest imbalance
  • Rollover fees: Fees for holding positions over time

All fees are displayed before you confirm a transaction. Fees are subject to change and are determined by the protocol parameters.

7. Liquidation

If your position's margin falls below the liquidation threshold, your position may be liquidated automatically by the protocol's keeper bots. Liquidation:

  • Closes your position at the current market price
  • May result in loss of all or most of your collateral
  • May incur additional liquidation fees
  • Is irreversible once executed

You are solely responsible for monitoring your positions and maintaining adequate margin. The protocol and its interface providers are not responsible for liquidation losses.

8. Intellectual Property

The Goldliquid interface, including its design, code, logos, and content, may be protected by intellectual property laws. You may not:

  • Copy, modify, or distribute the interface without authorization
  • Reverse engineer or attempt to extract proprietary source code
  • Use Goldliquid trademarks or branding without authorization

Smart contracts are open-source and can be reviewed and interacted with directly. The protocol itself is permissionless and decentralized. The interface is a tool for interacting with the protocol.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE GOLDLIQUID PROTOCOL, ITS INTERFACE PROVIDERS, AND ANY RELATED PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:

  • Any losses, damages, or costs arising from your use of the Protocol
  • Trading losses, liquidations, or market volatility
  • Smart contract bugs, exploits, or failures
  • Network failures, congestion, or blockchain forks
  • Oracle failures or price feed inaccuracies
  • Regulatory actions or changes in law
  • Loss of funds due to wallet compromise or user error

THE PROTOCOL IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. YOU USE THE PROTOCOL AT YOUR OWN RISK. NO ENTITY ASSUMES LIABILITY FOR PROTOCOL OPERATIONS OR USER LOSSES.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Goldliquid protocol, its interface providers, and any related parties from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

  • Your use of the Protocol
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any law or regulation

Access to the interface may be restricted or terminated at any time, with or without notice, if:

  • You violate these Terms
  • You engage in fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity
  • Required by law or regulatory authority
  • The interface is discontinued

You may stop using the interface at any time by disconnecting your wallet. However, the protocol itself is permissionless and decentralized. Your on-chain transactions and positions are permanent and cannot be deleted. You can always interact with the protocol directly through smart contracts.

12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by applicable laws without regard to conflict of law provisions. As a decentralized protocol operating on a public blockchain, Goldliquid is accessible globally and may be subject to various jurisdictions.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Protocol should be resolved through appropriate legal channels in your jurisdiction. The protocol operates autonomously and no central entity can be held responsible for protocol operations.

13. Changes to Terms

These Terms may be modified at any time. Material changes will be reflected by:

  • Posting the updated Terms on this page
  • Updating the "Last updated" date
  • Providing notice through the interface (if feasible)

Your continued use of the Protocol after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. If you disagree with changes, you must stop using the Protocol. Note that the protocol itself is immutable and cannot be changed once deployed.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
