Disclaimer

Applies to: StakeXDC smart contracts, interfaces, and related documentation operated by Prime Numbers Labs (or its affiliates) ("StakeXDC", "we", "us", "our").

Summary: Using blockchain protocols is risky. You can lose some or all of your assets. Smart contracts may have bugs or be exploited. Network conditions, third-party services, markets, or protocol updates can change outcomes. There are no guaranteed returns. Proceed only if you understand and accept these risks.

1. No Warranties; As-Is

The StakeXDC contracts, interfaces, and documentation are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that the protocol will meet your requirements, operate without error or interruption, or that defects will be corrected.

2. Smart Contract & Security Risks

Interacting with smart contracts involves risks including bugs, design flaws, upgrade errors, dependency failures, and economic attacks. Even audited contracts do not guarantee absence of vulnerabilities. You may lose funds due to exploits or unexpected behavior.

3. Network & Validator Risks

Rewards and redemptions depend on third-party networks (e.g., XDC Network). Network halts, forks, validator downtime, or congestion can reduce yields, delay queue-based withdrawal processing (the queue is paid by position as liquidity returns; masternode principal is subject to the network's candidateWithdrawDelay, approximately 35 days under typical block times, longer under congestion), or impair liquidity.

4. Derivative & Peg Risks

psXDC is an ERC-4626 vault share whose value tracks a vault exchange rate (totalAssets / totalShares), not a fixed 1:1 ratio with XDC. The share's market price on a DEX may trade below, at, or above its current NAV and may not be redeemable immediately when the protocol's liquid buffer is insufficient.

5. Smart Contract Custody

Staked assets are held and delegated by on-chain smart contracts. While these contracts are audited, they may contain undiscovered vulnerabilities. We do not guarantee the absence of bugs or exploits in custody contracts.

6. Variable Rewards

Any APY or reward figure (including the ~4.5% target) is illustrative only, subject to change, and not guaranteed. Rewards can fluctuate to zero. Historical performance does not indicate future results.

7. User Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for private keys, wallet security, address accuracy, transaction review, and understanding contract addresses.

8. Regulatory & Tax

You are responsible for complying with applicable laws, including sanctions, AML/CTF, and tax reporting. Access may be restricted in certain jurisdictions.

9. No Investment Advice

Nothing herein constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or assets.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless StakeXDC and its contributors from claims arising from your use or violation of these terms.
