Raid Network (“Raid Network”, “we,” “us,” or “our”), currently provides a website-hosted user interface that can be accessed at https://raid.network (the “Interface”) for accessing, and certain information about, Raid network, a layer-2 protocol that scales Solana (“Raid”), as well as related content about Raid and functionality through websites located at https:// https://raid.network, which includes subdomains of raid.network (each, a “Site” and collectively, the “Sites”). We also currently provide access and information about Raid through our related technologies, including all of our existing and any updated or new features, functionalities and technologies (the Interface and all such features, functionalities and technologies, collectively, the “Service”).
Raid and the suite of open source software underlying it are contributed, used, and supported by a wide variety of participants. Raid Network is one of these many participants and contributes to the Raid ecosystem. To facilitate the early-stage development of the Raid ecosystem, Raid Network currently operates the Sites. Raid Network may transition the maintenance and operation of certain Sites to one or more separate entities that are part of the Raid community in the future.
These Website Terms and Conditions (these “Terms”) set forth the legally binding terms and conditions that govern your use of the Service and Sites. Please note that certain parts and features of the Service or Site may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted on the Site in connection with such parts and features. All such additional terms, guidelines, and rules, including but not limited to the Privacy Policy and the Cookies Policy, are incorporated by reference into these Terms. By accessing or using the Service or any Sites, you are accepting these Terms (on behalf of yourself or the entity that you represent), and you represent and warrant that you have the willingness, right, authority, and capacity to enter into these Terms (on behalf of yourself or the entity that you represent).
We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time. All changes are effective immediately when we post them. Your continued use of the Service or any Site following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. Please check this page frequently so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
SECTION 14 CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WHICH WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US TO BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. YOU ARE AGREEING TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION FOR THE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES AND WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL ON YOUR CLAIMS. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE OR ANY OF THE SITES, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS IN THEIR ENTIRETY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICE OR ANY OF THE SITES IN ANY MANNER.
DISCLAIMERS
- THE SERVICE AND EACH SITE IS PROVIDED BY Raid Network ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT AVAILABILITY, ACCESSIBILITY, OR USE OF THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
- We make no representation, warranty, guarantee, or undertaking regarding Raid or any of its products, services, or activities, or regarding the Service or any Site, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of compliance, accuracy, reliability, validity, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, availability, durability, and noninfringement, or as to any of it being uninterrupted, error free, free of harmful components, or secure.
- We are not liable for, or in connection with, any actions, proceedings, claims, damages, expenses or other liabilities, whether in an action of contract, tort or otherwise, arising from, related to or in connection with Raid or any of its products, services, or activities, or the Service or any Site, or the use or dealings in or with any of them or in reliance thereon.
- We are not, do not speak for, and cannot bind, the Raid community. The Raid community is a collection of independent contributors to Raid. Raid Network is a separate, independent entity. While we currently contribute to the Raid ecosystem, we do not speak for the community, and cannot contractually bind it in any manner.
- We do not endorse third parties or third party information. Any time we link to, quote or otherwise reference a third party or reproduce or incorporate their information, content or material, it is solely for informational purposes. You should not assume that we have verified the accuracy of, or endorse in any way, such information, content or materials.
- When we talk about future ideas or prospects, we are expressing our vision and hopes, and there is no commitment or guarantee that it will come true, that we will implement any of it, or that it will work.
- Access to the Service and Sites; Your Apps. You may only access or use the Service and Sites or accept the Terms if you are an individual of legal age to form a binding contract (or if not, you have received your parent’s or guardian’s permission to use the Service or Site and have gotten your parent or guardian to agree to the Terms on your behalf). If you are agreeing to the Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to the Terms on that organization’s or entity’s behalf and bind them to the Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in the Terms, except for in this sentence and in the paragraph directly above, refer to that organization or entity). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your credentials.
As between Raid Network and you, you will be solely responsible for your applications (“Your Apps”), including their development, operation, maintenance and all related content and materials. - License; Open Source Components. Subject to these Terms, you are hereby granted a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to use and access the Sites and the Service solely for your own personal, non-commercial use, subject to the following restrictions: (a) you shall not license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, host, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service or Sites, whether in whole or in part, or any content displayed on the Service or Sites; and (b) you shall not modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile or reverse engineer any part of the Service or Sites. All copyright and other proprietary notices on the Service and Sites (or on any content displayed on the Service or Sites) must be retained on all copies thereof.
As noted above, certain software components underlying Raid are made available under separate open source licenses, such as the MIT License and other open source licenses. You agree not to violate the terms of any such open source licenses. In the event of a conflict between the license granted to you in these Terms and any separate licenses for any software components underlying Raid, the separate license will prevail with respect to the software that is the subject of the separate license. - The Interface. The Interface facilitates your ability to access Raid, but the Interface is distinct from Raid. It provides one, but not the exclusive, means of accessing Raid. Raid is public, permissionless, and runs on open-source self-executing smart contracts. Raid enables people to do various things, such as processing Ethereum transactions more efficiently and interacting with smart contract-based applications (“dApps”). The Interface, on the other hand, enables you to initiate messages to Raid to bridge digital assets between the Ethereum and Raid public blockchains.
- Your Use of Wallets. To access the Interface or other components of the Service, you must use non-custodial wallet software (a “Web3 wallet”), which constructs and broadcasts the data (“transactions”) that allows you to interact with Raid. By using your Web3 wallet in connection with accessing the Interface or other components of the Service, you agree that you are using the Web3 wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable provider of the Web3 wallet. No Web3 wallet is created by, operated by, maintained by, or affiliated with us. Accordingly, we do not have custody or control over the contents of your Web3 wallet and we have no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. Your relationship with any given Web3 wallet provider is governed by the applicable terms of service of that third party, not these Terms.
- Assumption of risk. By using the Service or any Sites, you (a) represent that you are sophisticated enough to understand the various inherent risks of using cryptographic and public blockchain-based systems, including but not limited to the Interface and other components of the Service, Raid, and digital assets, and (b) acknowledge and accept all such risks, and agree that we make no representations or warranties (expressly or implicitly) regarding, and that you will not hold us liable for those risks, including but not limited to the risks described below, any or all of which could lead to losses and damages, including the total and irrevocable loss of your assets. These risks include, but are not limited to:
- Wallet security and safekeeping. You are solely responsible for the safeguarding and security of your Web3 wallets. If you lose your wallet seed phrase, private keys, or password, you may be forever unable to access your digital assets. Any unauthorized access to your wallet by third parties could result in the loss or theft of your digital assets. We have no involvement in, or responsibility for, storing, retaining, securing or recovering your Web3 wallet seed phrases, private keys, or passwords, or for any unauthorized access to your Web3 wallet.
- Blockchain technology. Public blockchains, and the technology underlying and interacting with cryptographic and public blockchain-based systems, are experimental, inherently risky, and subject to change. Among other risks, bugs, malfunctions, cyberattacks, or changes to a particular public blockchain (e.g., via forks) could disrupt these technologies irreparably. There is no guarantee that any of these technologies will not become unavailable, degraded, or subject to hardware or software errors, operational or technical difficulties, denial-of-service attacks, other cyberattacks, or other problems requiring maintenance, interruptions, delays, or errors.
- Network cost and performance. The cost, speed, and availability of transacting on public blockchain systems are subject to significant variability. There is no guarantee that any transfer will be confirmed or transferred successfully.
- Blockchain transactions and smart contract execution. Public blockchain-based transactions (including but not limited to transactions automatically executed by smart contracts) are generally considered irreversible when confirmed. Any transaction that will interact with smart contracts or be recorded on a public blockchain must be recorded with extreme caution.
- Digital assets. The markets for digital assets are nascent and highly volatile due to various risk factors including (but not limited to) adoption, speculation, technology, security, and regulation. Digital assets and their underlying blockchain networks are complex emerging technologies that may be subject to delays, halts or go offline as a result of errors, forks, attacks or other unforeseeable reasons. Anyone can create a digital asset, including fake versions of existing digital assets and digital assets that falsely claim to represent projects. So-called stablecoins may not be as stable as they purport to be, may not be fully or adequately collateralized, and may be subject to panics and runs. You are solely responsible for understanding the risks specific to each digital asset that is relevant to you.
- Cyber Security. In addition to being an especially novel and untested implementation of blockchain technology in general, cross-blockchain bridging technology and other blockchain related technology has historically been, and may in the future be, the subject of numerous cyberattacks and exploits, including without limitation hacks that exploit a vulnerability in the associated software, hardware, systems or other equipment or social engineering to gain control of the any bridge or other blockchain-related components, wallets, smart contracts or other related systems.
- Control of Raid. Raid is subject to periodic upgrades, which may introduce other risks, bugs, malfunctions, cyberattack vectors, or other changes to Raid that could disrupt the operation of the Interface or other components of the Service, the functionality of bridging, your ability to access bridged digital assets, or otherwise cause you damage or loss.
- Third Party Risks. Third-party products (including dApps) carry their own individual, often times highly significant risks. When you use the Interface to interact with any third-party products, you are subject to all of those risks. We disclaim all risk arising from the acts and omissions of any third party, including any third party with whom you transact or interact with using the Service. We are not responsible for confirming the identity of or overseeing any third party with whom you may interact using the Service.
- Legal Process. We may suspend or terminate your use of the Service if you or any of your assets are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting any transaction or your use of the Service, and to address and investigate any suspicious activity we identify in connection with your use of the Service. We may comply with any such legal process. We may, but are not required to, request that you provide information and documentation regarding your identity and assets in order to use the Service.
- Legislative and regulatory risks. Digital assets, blockchain technology, and any related software and services are subject to legal and regulatory uncertainty in many jurisdictions. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions may adversely affect the usage, transferability, transactability and accessibility of digital assets, bridging, Raid, or the Interface or other components of the Service.
- Intellectual Property Rights. The Service and the Sites and their entire contents, features, and functionality (including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, images, video and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof), are owned by us, our licensors or other providers of such material and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws. Neither these Terms (nor your access to the Service or any Sites) transfers to you or any third party any rights, title or interest in or to such intellectual property rights, except as indicated otherwise.
- Feedback. If you provide us with any feedback or suggestions regarding the Service or any Sites (“Feedback”), you hereby assign to us all rights in such Feedback and agree that we have the right to use and fully exploit such Feedback and related information in any manner we deem appropriate. Any Feedback you provide will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary, and we will be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of such Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment, attribution, or compensation to you.
- Third-Party Materials. The Service and Sites contain references, links, and enables you to connect to third-party resources including (but not limited to) Web3 wallets, non-standard bridges, applications (including dApps), and other information, materials, products, or services, which we do not own or control (collectively, “third-party products”). We do not approve, monitor, endorse, make any representations or warranties (expressly or implicitly) or assume any responsibility for any third-party products, any component thereof, or the manner in which those products or components interact with the Service or any Sites. When you use or rely on any third-party products, you do so at your own risk. You understand that you are solely responsible for any fees or costs associated with using third-party products and that, unless stated herein, the Terms do not otherwise apply to your dealings or relationships with any third parties or third-party products.

The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the seat of the arbitration shall be in Hong Kong. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties to the arbitration. The arbitration agreement constituted by this Section shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong. Any party hereto to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defences to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER.
- Governing Law. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of Hong Kong, excluding its body of law controlling conflict of laws. You agree that the Service and Sites shall be deemed to be based solely in Hong Kong, and that although the Service and Sites may be available in other jurisdictions, their availability does not give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction in any forum outside Hong Kong. You agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought in the courts located in Hong Kong.
- Conflict of Provisions. In the event that there exists a conflict between any term, condition or provision contained within these Terms, and in any term, condition, or provision contained within any other specific part or feature, the term, condition, or provision contained in such specific part or feature will control.
- Severability. If any part or parts of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such part or parts shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
- Entire Agreement. These Terms, our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Service and Sites and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to any of the Service and Sites.
- Access to the Service and Sites; Your Apps. You may only access or use the Service and Sites or accept the Terms if you are an individual of legal age to form a binding contract (or if not, you have received your parent’s or guardian’s permission to use the Service or Site and have gotten your parent or guardian to agree to the Terms on your behalf). If you are agreeing to the Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to the Terms on that organization’s or entity’s behalf and bind them to the Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in the Terms, except for in this sentence and in the paragraph directly above, refer to that organization or entity).
