Terms of Service
These Terms govern your use of GitFun ("the protocol", "the website", "we"). By using the website or interacting with the smart contracts, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the protocol.
1. What GitFun is
GitFun is a non-custodial protocol that allows users to deploy ERC-20 tokens linked to public GitHub repositories and trade them through a Uniswap v4 liquidity pool on the Base blockchain. The protocol is a set of immutable smart contracts plus this website, which serves as an interface.
We do not custody user funds. We do not match buyers and sellers. We do not guarantee continuous availability of the website. Smart contract interactions remain possible directly through the blockchain regardless of website status.
2. Eligibility
You may use GitFun only if all of the following are true:
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are not located in, a citizen of, or resident in a jurisdiction where use of the protocol is prohibited by law, including but not limited to OFAC-sanctioned regions.
- You are not on any sanctions list (OFAC SDN, EU consolidated, UN consolidated, UK OFSI).
- You have legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the protocol is legal in your jurisdiction.
3. Your responsibilities
- Custody of your wallet, private keys, seed phrases, and signing material is your responsibility. We have no ability to recover lost keys or reverse transactions.
- You are responsible for the accuracy of inputs you provide (repository URL, signatures, transaction parameters).
- You are responsible for taxes arising from your activity on the protocol.
- You will not use the protocol to launder funds, evade sanctions, commit fraud, or violate any law.
4. Tokenization of public repositories
Anyone can deploy a token associated with any public GitHub repository. Token deployment does not require permission from the repository owner. Deployment of a token does not transfer ownership of, or any rights in, the underlying repository. The repository owner retains all rights to their code.
A repository owner may verify ownership through GitHub OAuth to claim creator fees accrued by the corresponding token. Verification is performed by signing a message with the wallet they want fees routed to.
5. No financial advice
Nothing on this website is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Tokens deployed via the protocol may have no economic value, may be illiquid, may go to zero, and carry significant risk of loss. See our Risk Disclosure for details. You should not interact with the protocol with money you cannot afford to lose.
6. Trademarks and content
Token symbols and names may reference public GitHub repositories, including ones owned by third parties. Reference does not imply endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship by the repository owner or by GitHub. If you are a rights-holder and believe a token name infringes your rights, contact legal@gitfun.xyz. We will respond within 30 days, but please note we cannot remove or modify on-chain artifacts that are immutable by design.
7. Acceptable use
You will not:
- Use the protocol for any unlawful purpose
- Attempt to disrupt, exploit, or attack protocol contracts or infrastructure
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation
- Tokenize repositories that are not public, or that contain illegal content
- Engage in market manipulation, wash trading, or front-running for the purpose of defrauding others
- Use automated agents that abuse the website's API or rate limits
8. Disclaimers
The protocol and the website are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure from attack, or free of harmful components.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we, our contributors, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of funds, lost profits, or loss of data, arising from or related to your use of the protocol, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability shall not exceed one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GitFun, its contributors, and affiliates from any claim, damages, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the protocol, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
11. Modifications
We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes are announced on the homepage at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
12. Termination
We may suspend or restrict your access to the website at any time for any reason. The smart contracts, being immutable, will remain accessible directly on-chain.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction TBD by counsel]. Any dispute shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by [provider TBD]. Class actions and jury trials are waived to the extent permitted by law.
14. Severability and entire agreement
If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Risk Disclosure, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the protocol.
