Terms of Service

Last updated: February 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Alkizen platform ("Platform"), including our website at alkizen.exchange, our web application, API, and any related services (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must not use the Services.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", "your") and Alkizen ("we", "us", "our"). We may update these Terms from time to time, and your continued use of the Services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of material changes via the Platform.

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

2. Description of Services

Alkizen is a multi-chain payment and intelligent trading network built on top of Relay, a cross-chain infrastructure protocol. The Platform provides a user interface for the following services:

Token Swapping: Exchange any token on any supported blockchain for any other token on any supported blockchain, powered by Relay's intent-based cross-chain execution.

Cross-Chain Bridging: Transfer tokens between different blockchains seamlessly, without manual chain switching or intermediate wrapped tokens.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): Set up automated recurring token purchases at user-defined intervals (hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly) and durations. DCA orders are executed by backend scheduler workers.

Limit Orders: Place conditional orders that execute automatically when a specified price condition is met. Conditions are monitored by off-chain price oracles.

Payments: Send tokens to any address on any supported chain, with the recipient receiving their preferred token regardless of what token the sender holds.

Gamification Features: Earn points through quests, compete on the leaderboard, and participate in the referral program to earn revenue share on referred users' transactions.

The Services act as an interface layer on top of Relay's protocol. We do not operate as a centralized exchange, custodian, broker, or financial advisor. All on-chain transactions are executed through Relay's audited smart contracts and intent-based architecture.

3. Wallet Connection & Authentication

To use the Services, you must connect a compatible cryptocurrency wallet (such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect-compatible wallets, Phantom, or other supported wallets). Your wallet address serves as your unique identifier on the Platform.

We use Sign-In With Ethereum (SIWE) and equivalent Solana authentication methods for session management. We do not store passwords, private keys, or seed phrases. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet, private keys, and recovery phrases.

You acknowledge that if you lose access to your wallet (e.g., lose your private key or seed phrase), we cannot recover your funds or account. We have no ability to reverse, cancel, or modify transactions that have been submitted to the blockchain.

You may connect multiple wallets (both EVM and Solana) simultaneously. Each connected wallet address is treated as part of the same user session for the purposes of quest tracking, referrals, and leaderboard scoring.

4. Fees & Pricing

Alkizen charges a platform fee on each transaction executed through the Services. This fee is a percentage markup applied on top of Relay's native execution costs. The platform fee percentage is set by our administrative team and typically ranges from 0.1% to 0.5%, though it may be adjusted at our discretion.

The exact platform fee for each transaction is calculated in real-time and displayed transparently in the quote before you confirm any transaction. By confirming a transaction, you agree to pay the displayed platform fee.

In addition to the Alkizen platform fee, transactions may incur: (a) blockchain network gas fees, which are set by the underlying blockchain networks and are not controlled by Alkizen; (b) Relay protocol fees, which are set by the Relay protocol; (c) DEX swap fees, set by the decentralized exchanges through which trades are routed.

All fees are non-refundable once a transaction has been submitted to the blockchain, except in cases of transaction failure where the on-chain execution did not complete. In such cases, you may only be charged the blockchain gas fee.

If you were referred to Alkizen by another user, 10% of the platform fee generated by your transactions is allocated to your referrer as a revenue share. This does not increase your fees — it is a redistribution of the platform fee.

5. Risk Disclosure

IMPORTANT: Trading and transacting in cryptocurrencies and digital assets involves substantial risk of loss. The value of cryptocurrencies is highly volatile and can fluctuate significantly in short periods. You should not trade or transact with funds you cannot afford to lose.

By using the Services, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:

Market Risk: Token prices may move rapidly against your position. Slippage may occur between the quoted price and the actual execution price, particularly for large orders or during periods of high volatility.

Smart Contract Risk: While Relay's smart contracts are audited, no smart contract is guaranteed to be free of vulnerabilities. Bugs, exploits, or unforeseen interactions could result in loss of funds.

Cross-Chain Risk: Cross-chain transactions involve additional complexity. While Relay's intent-based architecture minimizes bridging risks, delays, congestion, or failures on source or destination chains may impact transaction completion.

DCA & Limit Order Risk: Automated DCA executions and limit order fills depend on backend infrastructure availability and price oracle accuracy. Market conditions may change between the time an order is placed and when it executes. Executions may fail and be retried, potentially at different prices.

Regulatory Risk: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving. Changes in laws, regulations, or enforcement actions in your jurisdiction may affect your ability to use the Services or the value of your holdings.

Technology Risk: The Platform relies on third-party services including blockchain networks, Relay infrastructure, wallet providers, and price oracles. Outages or failures in any of these systems may temporarily prevent you from using the Services.

We do not provide investment advice, trading recommendations, or financial guidance. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and their outcomes.

6. User Conduct & Prohibited Uses

You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You specifically agree not to:

Use the Services from any country, region, or territory that is subject to comprehensive economic sanctions imposed by the United States, European Union, United Nations, or other relevant authority (including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine).

Attempt to manipulate, exploit, or abuse the referral system, quest system, or leaderboard through fraudulent activity, wash trading, self-referrals, bot usage, or any other means.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALKIZEN AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM:

Tokens held in your connected wallet are not affected by account termination, as we never have custody of your funds. However, in-platform points, badges, and leaderboard rankings may be removed.

Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to: ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification obligations, and limitations of liability.

13. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within thirty (30) days, it shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the relevant arbitration association in the jurisdiction where Alkizen is registered.

You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class action, collective action, or representative action. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against Alkizen.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

14. Tax Obligations

You are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling your tax obligations arising from your use of the Services, including but not limited to income taxes, capital gains taxes, and any other taxes applicable to cryptocurrency transactions in your jurisdiction.

Alkizen does not provide tax advice and does not issue tax forms or statements. You should consult a qualified tax professional regarding your specific tax situation. Transaction history is available through the Platform for your record-keeping purposes.

You acknowledge that tax regulations for cryptocurrency transactions vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change. It is your responsibility to stay informed of the tax implications of your trading activity.

15. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and may provide additional notice through the Platform (such as a banner or notification).
