​
1. Introduction

Welcome to LayerZeroScan API Mainnet and LayerZeroScan API Testnet (collectively, the “Scan API”), provided by LayerZero Labs Ltd. (“LayerZero”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). The Scan API hosts the public-facing Swagger (OpenAPI) documentation for the LayerZeroScan application programming interface (API). The Scan API provides an API interface and related documentation to query and interact with blockchain related data indexed and made available on LayerZeroScan. The Scan API is designed primarily for developers and technical users. By accessing or using this Scan API, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are not authorized to access or use the Scan API and should not use the Scan API. Please read these Terms carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights. You are solely responsible for determining whether your access to and use of the Scan API complies with the Terms as well as any applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. For purposes of these Terms, “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Scan API. If you access or use the Scan API on behalf of a company or other entity then “you” includes both you in an individual capacity and that entity, and you represent and warrant that: (a) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms; and (b) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf, as well as on your individual behalf. PLEASE NOTE: THE “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION OF THESE TERMS CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE THAT REQUIRES DISPUTES TO BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND PROHIBITS CLASS ACTION CLAIMS. IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LAYERZERO ARE RESOLVED. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

2. Modification of these Terms

LayerZero reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify these Terms from time to time. If any modifications are made, you will be notified by an update to the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. All modifications will be effective when they are posted, or such later date as may be specified in the updated Terms, and your continued access or use of the Scan API after any modifications have become effective will serve as confirmation of your acceptance of those modifications. If you do not agree with any modifications to these Terms, you must immediately stop accessing or using the Scan API.

You acknowledge and agree that all transfers, liquidity pooling, farming, staking, or any other actions you may undertake via the Scan API (or via any other platform based on information available on the Scan API) are unsolicited. This means you have not received, nor relied upon, any investment advice from us regarding such actions. Furthermore, we do not assess the suitability of any such actions for you.

The Scan API does not provide, and does not purport to provide, any financial, investment, legal, or tax advice or services. Use of the Scan API should not be construed as an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument or as a recommendation to engage in any transaction.

​
13. Non-Custodial and No Fiduciary Duties

The Scan API is a non-custodial application. This means that you alone are responsible for managing and securing the private cryptographic keys associated with your digital asset wallets. These Terms are not intended to, and do not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you acknowledge and agree that we owe no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or to any other party. Any such duties or liabilities that may otherwise exist at law or in equity are hereby fully disclaimed and waived. You further agree that our only duties and obligations are those explicitly set forth in these Terms.

​
14. Assumption of Risk

By accessing and using the Scan API, you represent that you are financially and technically sophisticated enough to understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and that you have a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and other digital assets, storage mechanisms, and blockchain-based software systems to be able to assess and evaluate the risks and benefits of the Scan API contemplated hereunder, and will bear the risks thereof, including loss of all amounts paid or stored, and the risk that the cryptocurrencies and other digital assets may have little or no value. You understand that blockchain-based transactions are irreversible. You acknowledge that there are inherent risks associated with using or interacting with public blockchains and blockchain technology. There is no guarantee that such technology will be available or not subject to errors, hacking, or other security risks. Blockchain protocols may also be subject to sudden changes in operating rules, including forks, and it is your responsibility to make yourself aware of upcoming operating changes. You acknowledge and agree that there are risks associated with purchasing and holding cryptocurrency. These include, but are not limited to, risk of losing access to cryptocurrency or digital assets due to slashing; loss of private key(s); custodial error or purchaser or user error; risk of mining, staking, or blockchain-related attacks; risk of hacking and security weaknesses; risk of unfavorable regulatory intervention in one or more jurisdictions; risk related to token taxation; risk of personal information disclosure; risk of uninsured losses; volatility risks; and unanticipated risks. You further understand that the markets for digital assets are highly volatile due to factors including (but not limited to) adoption, speculation, technology, security, and regulation. You acknowledge and accept that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems are variable and may increase dramatically at any time. You further acknowledge and accept the risk that your digital assets may lose some or all of their value and that you may suffer loss due to the fluctuation of prices of tokens. You understand that anyone can create a token, including fake versions of existing tokens and tokens that falsely claim to represent projects, and acknowledge and accept the risk that you may mistakenly trade those or other tokens. You further acknowledge that we are not responsible for any of these variables or risks and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses that you experience while accessing or using the Scan API. Accordingly, you understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using the Scan API. You further acknowledge and agree that your access and use of the Scan API may be interrupted from time to time for any or for no reason, including, without limitation, in the event of the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating, maintenance or repair of the Scan API or other actions that LayerZero, in its sole discretion, may elect to take. You agree that we shall have no liability to you arising from or related to any inability to access or use the Scan API.

​

You expressly agree that you assume all risks in connection with your access and use of the Scan API. You further expressly waive and release us from any and all liability, claims, causes of action, or damages arising from or in any way relating to your access or use of the Scan API. If you are a California resident, you waive the benefits and protections of California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “[a] general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

​
17. Indemnity

You agree to hold harmless, release, defend, and indemnify us, our affiliates, subsidiaries, related companies, service providers, and its and their officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your access and use, or misuse, of the Scan API; (b) your violation of any term or condition of these Terms, the right of any third party, or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation; (c) your dishonesty, negligence, fraudulence, or willful misconduct; and (d) any other party’s access and use, or misuse, of the Scan API with your assistance or using any device or account that you own or control.

CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR LIABILITIES. ACCORDINGLY, CERTAIN OF THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

​
19. Dispute Resolution

a. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. b. Informal Process First. You and LayerZero agree that in the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof or the access and use of the Scan API (individually, a “Dispute”, and collectively, the “Disputes”) between you and LayerZero, you must contact us by sending an email to notices@layerzerolabs.org. You and LayerZero agree to make a good faith sustained effort to resolve any Dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, any court action. Both you and LayerZero agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against the other party. Nothing in this clause shall prevent a party from seeking interim or provisional relief where it is reasonably necessary to do so. c. Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. If the informal dispute resolution process should fail to produce a satisfactory result within sixty (60) days of your email, or if any Dispute or portion thereof remains unresolved following such process, we each agree that such Dispute will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration pursuant to the following provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” clause, and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding. You and LayerZero agree that British Virgin Islands law governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms. e. Exceptions. As limited exceptions to the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” clause: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in the Magistrate’s Court of the British Virgin Islands if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. Any Disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination thereof, or any Dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to them, shall be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration to be administered by the BVI International Arbitration Centre (“BVI IAC”) in accordance with the BVI IAC Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) in force as at the date of these Terms, which Arbitration Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into these Terms. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language and the seat of arbitration shall be in Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The arbitration shall be determined by a sole arbitrator to be appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The decision of the sole arbitrator shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon both parties without any right of appeal, and judgment upon any award thus obtained may be entered in or enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereof. No action at law or in equity based upon any claim arising out of or in relation to these Terms shall be instituted in any court of any jurisdiction, except as specifically permitted herein. Each party waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens, to assert that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of such arbitration or courts, or to object to venue, to the extent any proceeding is brought in accordance herewith. f. Arbitration Costs. Responsibility for payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the Arbitration Rules. We each agree that the prevailing party in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law. g. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in the “Exceptions” section above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. h. Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND LAYERZERO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void. You and we both agree to waive the right to demand a trial by jury. i. Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in the immediately preceding paragraph of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

​
20. Injunctive Relief

You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to LayerZero for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and LayerZero shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security or proof of damages.

​
21. Force Majeure

We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any of our obligations under these Terms, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from any events beyond our ability to control, including acts of God; flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, pandemics, tsunami, explosion, war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest, government order, law, or action, embargoes or blockades, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, shortage of adequate or suitable Internet connectivity, telecommunication breakdown or shortage of adequate power or electricity, cyberattacks, Protocol-level disruptions, chain-level failures, governance attacks, and other similar events beyond our control.

​
22. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by LayerZero but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of LayerZero. LayerZero’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of LayerZero. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect.

​
23. Governing Law

You agree that the laws of the British Virgin Islands, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, govern these Terms and any Dispute between you and us. You further agree that the Scan API shall be deemed to be based solely in the British Virgin Islands, and that although the Scan API may be available in other jurisdictions, its availability does not give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction in any forum outside the British Virgin Islands. You agree that the courts of the British Virgin Islands are the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for court proceedings in the event that the binding arbitration clause of these Terms is found to be unenforceable.

​
