Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and KM Brands LLC ("we", "us"). KM Brands LLC operates the Service under the name Proteus Labs. The Service is the website at https://proteuslabs.xyz, the Proteus Labs iOS app (bundle ID xyz.proteuslabs.app), and every related tool, API, and page. By connecting a wallet, installing the app, buying Premium, publishing content, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) and legally permitted to use cryptocurrency services in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for complying with all laws that apply to you, including any restrictions on digital-asset activity where you reside.

Proteus Labs provides AI-assisted research tools for tokens on Solana, Base, and BNB Chain: on-chain data summaries, market data, risk heuristics, community signals, wallet forensics, and tools that help you build unsigned Solana transactions. Money movement, including Premium and liquidity, stays on Solana. All output is research and entertainment only.

Nothing on the Service is financial, investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice, a solicitation, or a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or provide liquidity in any asset. Risk scores, charts, simulations, safety checks, and community signals are heuristics. They can be wrong in both directions, including because an AI narrative is incomplete or mistaken. You are solely responsible for your own decisions. We are not your broker, dealer, investment adviser, commodity trading advisor, custodian, exchange, money transmitter, or fiduciary, and we do not owe you a fiduciary duty.

A Forensics or Nexus run stays private to the wallet that ran it until that person publishes it to the Docket. Publishing makes the report, note, and tags public. You can unpublish later.

Wallet forensics reports describe publicly visible on-chain transaction patterns. Any "link" or "ring" shown between wallets is a funding- or flow-pattern heuristic — it is not a claim that wallets share an owner or identity, and it is not an accusation of wrongdoing. Do not rely on forensics output as the sole basis for accusations, publications, or legal action.

The Service is non-custodial. We never hold your funds, LP tokens, or LP positions, and we never have access to your private keys or seed phrase. A position you open lives in your wallet under a third-party program. We cannot withdraw it, pause it, claim its fees, or liquidate it for you. Sign-in is a message signature. It does not send a transaction and does not spend SOL. The iOS app stores only its own device encryption key and a session token so it can talk to Phantom or Solflare. That key is not your Solana private key.

Every blockchain transaction is initiated by you, signed in your wallet, executed by third-party programs on a public network, and irreversible once confirmed. You must read the wallet's preview before you approve. If your wallet, device, or seed phrase is compromised, that is your loss. We cannot reverse it.

The Service includes tools that help you construct unsigned Solana transactions to create liquidity pools, deposit liquidity into, or withdraw liquidity from, third-party decentralized exchange protocols (such as Raydium, Orca, Meteora, and PumpSwap). We do not operate, control, audit, or guarantee those protocols. We are not a party to, broker of, or counterparty in any liquidity transaction: every transaction is signed by you in your own wallet, executed by third-party programs on the public Solana network, and is irreversible once confirmed.

Providing liquidity is high risk. You can lose some or all of the assets you deposit — including through impermanent (divergence) loss, out-of-range concentrated positions earning nothing, price movement and slippage between quote and execution, MEV activity such as sandwich attacks, malicious or defective tokens (freeze authorities, transfer fees, transfer hooks), exploits or failures of the third-party protocol, network congestion, and partial execution where one transaction of a multi-transaction operation confirms and another does not.

Any quotes, pool statistics, estimated fees or APR, position values, transaction previews, simulations, and safety checks shown by the Service are best-effort estimates provided for convenience only. They are not guarantees of execution price, outcome, or safety, and they may be inaccurate, stale, or incomplete. A successful simulation, or a transaction that passes our program allowlist, does not mean the transaction is safe, profitable, or free of loss. A check can miss a risk, and a refused transaction is not a promise that every other transaction is clean. You are solely responsible for reviewing and approving every transaction in your wallet before signing.

Concentrated liquidity can move out of range and earn nothing. That is market risk, not a liquidation we perform. We do not operate a lending market, and no one at Proteus can force-close your position. Only a signature from the wallet that owns it can withdraw, increase, claim, pause, or close it.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF FUNDS, TOKENS, OR VALUE ARISING FROM LIQUIDITY TRANSACTIONS — including losses caused by third-party protocols, token issuers, market movement, MEV, slippage, failed or partially executed transactions, inaccurate data or estimates, or wallet compromise. Nothing in the liquidity desk is a recommendation to provide liquidity to any pool.

Premium is a desk pass for one wallet. On the website, Single Use is a one-time pack paid in SOL. It does not expire. It includes a fixed number of token scans and Deep dives, and those uses do not refill. Another Single Use purchase adds another pack. Annual is a 365-day pass paid in SOL. A website Annual pass does not auto-renew. Annual is the only plan that joins Treasury airdrops. In the iOS app, Annual is an auto-renewable subscription sold by Apple and billed to your Apple ID, at the price shown in the app. It renews each year until you cancel. It is tied to the Solana wallet you are signed in with when the purchase is confirmed, and one App Store subscription covers one wallet. App Store charges are not an on-chain SOL payment and are not added to the Treasury pool. A website pass already on a wallet is recognized in the app. While a pass covers your wallet you can use the included caps (token scans, Deep forensics, and the other Premium tools described on the Premium page). A pass is not money, a deposit, a security, or an investment. It has no cash value, cannot be transferred or resold, and cannot be redeemed for fiat or crypto. Price, caps, and included tools may change at any time. Any older in-app credit balance, if one remains on a wallet, has no cash value and is not a pass.

We may grant promotional access at our discretion. Promotional access does not by itself create airdrop eligibility unless we say so.

All sales are final. We do not offer refunds. Once an on-chain payment for a Premium pass (or any other paid product on the Service) is confirmed on Solana, the purchase is complete and non-refundable in any form — including, without limitation, return of SOL, fiat, or any other asset. An App Store annual subscription is billed by Apple. Refund requests for that subscription go through Apple. If Apple revokes a period, coverage for that period ends at the revocation time. We do not refund Apple’s charge ourselves. This applies regardless of whether you later use the pass, like the results, change your mind, lose access to your wallet, send from the wrong wallet, mis-enter an amount, experience market volatility, or are dissatisfied with the Service.

Blockchain transactions are irreversible. We cannot reverse, recall, or claw back a confirmed payment. Chargebacks, payment disputes, or similar claims against on-chain transfers are not available through us; attempting them may result in suspension of Service access.

If a token scan or Forensics dive fails to complete because of an error on our side after we counted it against your free scans or scan cap, we put that use back. That restoration is not a refund of any purchase, has no cash value, and does not entitle you to any on-chain repayment.

Airdrop Points are a loyalty metric earned through product use and referrals. Points are not money or property, have no cash value, and cannot be transferred or sold. We aim to distribute a share of Service revenue (the share routed on-chain to the Treasury airdrop pool) to eligible wallets in periodic epochs. The first distribution is intended on Christmas 2026. From 2027, four drops a year: March 25, June 25, September 25, and December 25. December 25 closes the year. Only an Annual subscription that covers the epoch is eligible. Single Use is not. Airdrops are discretionary rewards: their timing, amounts, funding, asset mix, eligibility rules, and continued existence are not guaranteed and may change or end at any time. Nothing about points or airdrops constitutes an investment contract, dividend, or profit-sharing arrangement.

Circle votes, notes, and evidence links you submit are public. You must not submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, or knowingly false. Flags should reflect a genuine, good-faith concern supported by evidence. We may remove content, reverse votes, withhold points, or restrict wallets that we reasonably believe are manipulating signals.

You agree not to:

• operate multiple wallets to farm points, referrals, welcome bonuses, or airdrops (sybil activity);
• coordinate brigades to distort endorsements or flags on any token;
• scrape, resell, or systematically extract Service data without permission;
• probe, disrupt, or overload the Service or its providers, or attempt to bypass rate limits and anti-abuse rules;
• upload malware, impersonate another wallet, or interfere with another person's session;
• publish content that is defamatory, fraudulent, or an accusation you do not have a good-faith basis to make;
• use the Service if you are a sanctioned person, or from a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction;
• use the Service for any unlawful purpose.

We may suspend or terminate access, void points and Premium coverage obtained through abuse, and exclude wallets from airdrops for violations of this section.

The Service relies on third parties we do not control, including Solana, Base, BNB Chain, Phantom, Solflare, Apple, RPC providers, and market-data or risk sources (including DexScreener, GeckoTerminal, GoPlus, and RugCheck). Data may be delayed, incomplete, or wrong, including prices, liquidity, holder lists, and market caps. We are not responsible for third-party services, token projects, wallet software, or losses from inaccurate third-party data. A token, pool, or program can be upgraded, paused, or rugged after we show it to you.

The iOS app is a client of this same Service. The app sells one auto-renewable annual subscription through Apple In-App Purchase. It does not sell the Single Use pass. A wallet also shows as Premium in the app if that same wallet already bought a pass on the website. Apple is the seller of the App Store subscription. Apple is not a party to a SOL payment and has no obligation to refund one.

If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store, you and KM Brands LLC are the parties to these Terms. Apple is not. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price of the app if any was paid. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for product claims, including product liability, legal or regulatory claims, or consumer-protection claims, and is not responsible for intellectual-property claims. You must comply with applicable third-party terms, including your wireless-data agreement. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this section and may enforce it.

Circle notes, votes, and anything you publish to the Docket are public and tied to your wallet. You are the author. We do not investigate, endorse, or verify what you publish, and a forensics report or docket entry is not a finding that anyone committed a crime. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, display, and distribute that content as part of the Service. We may remove content or close a report at any time, and we have no duty to monitor it. You will not publish another person's private information or an accusation you cannot support.

You understand that cryptoassets can go to zero, that smart contracts can fail or be exploited, that liquidity you provide can be lost to price movement, fees, failed transactions, or a bad pool, and that blockchain transactions cannot be undone. You assume those risks. You are responsible for your own taxes. Nothing we pay as an airdrop, if we pay one, is wages.

The Service, including its branding, design, text, and software, is owned by us or our licensors. You may use the Service for personal research. You may not copy the product, scrape it into a competing service, or use our marks without permission. Feedback you send us may be used without payment or credit.

THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THE WEBSITE, THE IOS APP, AI OUTPUT, RISK SCORES, SIMULATIONS, AND SAFETY CHECKS, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL TRANSACTIONS. CRYPTOASSETS ARE HIGHLY VOLATILE AND YOU CAN LOSE EVERYTHING YOU PUT IN.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR OPERATORS, CONTRACTORS, AND PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, TOKENS, LIQUIDITY POSITIONS, POINTS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, WHETHER FROM A TRADE, A LIQUIDITY MOVE, A FAILED OR MIS-SIGNED TRANSACTION, WRONG RESEARCH, AN AIRDROP THAT NEVER SHIPS, OR A SERVICE OUTAGE, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE. IF YOU PAID NOTHING, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. IN THOSE PLACES THE LIMITS APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless KM Brands LLC from any claim, loss, and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, a transaction you sign, content you publish, your wallet, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

Before filing a claim, you will email or message us and give us 30 days to try to resolve it. Except for a claim that qualifies for small-claims court, and a request for an injunction to stop abuse of the Service or infringement of intellectual property, any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this agreement to arbitrate. The arbitration will be in English, in the United States, before one arbitrator.

YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may award individual relief only. If a court finds the class-action waiver unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest stays in arbitration. These Terms are otherwise governed by the laws of the United States and of the U.S. state of KM Brands LLC's principal place of business, excluding conflict-of-law rules.

We may modify the Service, these Terms, pricing, points, and airdrop mechanics at any time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use after changes means you accept them. We may suspend or discontinue the Service, or terminate your access, at any time, including if a wallet looks like abuse. If we discontinue the Service before a prepaid period ends, section 7 still applies: a confirmed payment is not refunded.

You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement. We are not liable for a failure caused by events outside our reasonable control, including chain halts, wallet outages, and provider failures. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 5 through 8 and 13 through 19) survive termination.
