Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the websites, applications, documentation, and interfaces operated under gloam.trade (collectively, the “Services”) by Gloam (“Gloam,” “we,” “us”). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explain what information we handle.

1. Testnet only

Gloam runs only on test networks: Tempo Moderato testnet and Robinhood Chain testnet. The tokens you use with it are test tokens with no monetary value. Do not send real assets to any Gloam address or contract.

We may change, pause, reset or remove any part of the Services at any time, including redeploying contracts, which can leave earlier test balances unusable. Testnets themselves can also be reset or stop working. We do not guarantee that the Services, or any test balance, will be available.

2. Experimental software

Gloam is early-stage, experimental software for interacting with blockchain networks, including Tempo and Robinhood Chain. Features such as private balances, private payments, payroll, proofs and private trading may be incomplete, unavailable, or change without notice. There is no guarantee of uptime, correctness, or fitness for any purpose.

3. No custody

Gloam is self-custodial. Gloam never holds your keys, your seed phrase, your note secrets or your funds. Your notes and their secrets are kept in your browser, and proofs are made there. Money in the Gloam vault contract leaves only with a valid proof, and there is no admin withdraw.

You are responsible for your wallets, private keys, seed phrases, devices and sign-in methods, for your notes and their backups, and for the proofs you make and who you share them with. If you lose your keys or your notes without a backup, we cannot recover them. Transactions you sign are final when confirmed on-chain.

4. Tester program

Taking part in the Gloam testers program is voluntary. Any tester rewards are as described in the program's announcement and are at Gloam's discretion. Once the paid spots are filled, new testers join as volunteers. Volunteer testing is unpaid.

5. Eligibility

You must be able to form a binding contract under applicable law and must not use the Services if you are a person or entity prohibited from doing so under the laws of your jurisdiction or under sanctions administered by relevant authorities. You are solely responsible for compliance with local law.

6. Not financial advice

Nothing on the Services is an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset, security, or derivative. Tokenized equities and other digital assets involve substantial risk of loss. We do not provide investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice.

7. Privacy features

Privacy-enhancing features do not guarantee anonymity, unlinkability, or immunity from investigation. Unshielded activity, bridges, third-party services, and implementation bugs may reveal information. You use privacy features at your own risk and are responsible for understanding their limitations.

8. Prohibited use

You may not use the Services to violate law, evade sanctions, commit fraud, launder funds, exploit vulnerabilities, attack infrastructure, or interfere with other users. We may restrict access where we believe misuse is occurring, to the extent we control the interface.

9. Third-party services

The Services may link to or depend on third parties (the Tempo and Robinhood Chain testnets, RPCs, wallets, Tempo's fee sponsor, bridges, indexers, DEXs, analytics, Telegram, and Anthropic, whose API writes the answers of Glim, our Telegram helper). We do not control those services and are not liable for their acts, failures, or terms. Glim's answers are written by an AI model and can be wrong, so check the docs before you act on one.

10. Intellectual property

Gloam branding, site design, and original content are owned by us or our licensors. You may not copy or reverse engineer the Services except as permitted by law. Open-source components are governed by their licenses.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR UNINTERRUPTED.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GLOAM AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR ASSETS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Gloam and its contributors from claims arising out of your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.

14. Changes

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
