These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and [Cetus entity / foundation name] ("Company," "we," "us," or "our," ).
By accessing or using the Services (as defined below), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services.

1. Overview and Scope
The Services are provided through on-chain smart contracts and, where applicable, through off-chain or hybrid systems. The Services may be accessed directly on supported blockchain networks, through websites, applications, programmatic interfaces, or through third-party interfaces not operated by us.
These Terms apply to your access to and use of the Services regardless of the manner of access, including direct interaction with smart contracts, use of APIs or SDKs, or access through third-party interfaces.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, your access to or use of any part of the Services constitutes your acceptance of these Terms.
