Terms of Service
1. About these terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website taopump.net and its user interface (together, the "Interface"). The Interface is operated by taopump.net ("we", "us"). By accessing or using the Interface you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Interface.
2. What taopump.net is
taopump.net is a technical tool. It lets you deploy your own token contract to the Bittensor EVM network and interact with smart contracts that provide a bonding curve and, after graduation, a Uniswap V3 liquidity pool.
- We are not an issuer. Every token is created by the person who launches it (the "Creator"). We do not create, issue, offer, sell, promote, review or endorse any token.
- We are non-custodial. Funds are held by smart contracts on the Bittensor blockchain, not by us. We never hold your private keys and cannot move, freeze or recover your assets, reverse a transaction or cancel a token.
- We are not a broker, exchange, adviser or counterparty. Trades are executed by smart contracts that you interact with directly from your own wallet. Nothing on the Interface is investment, financial, legal or tax advice.
- The smart contracts are public and run independently of the Interface. Other interfaces may exist, and the contracts can be used without taopump.net.
3. Who may use the Interface
You may use the Interface only if all of the following are true:
- You are at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract.
- You are not a resident of, located in, or incorporated in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ontario (Canada), China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Belarus, or the Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk regions ("Restricted Regions").
- You are not named on, or owned or controlled by anyone named on, a sanctions list maintained by the United Nations, the European Union, Norway, the United Kingdom or the United States.
- Using the Interface is lawful for you in the place where you live and are located.
We block access from Restricted Regions where we can detect them. You must not use a VPN or any other method to get around these restrictions.
4. Fees
The smart contracts automatically charge the following service fees. They are paid in TAO, or in WTAO and the traded token for pool fees.
| Fee | Amount | Paid to |
|---|---|---|
| Token creation | 0.01 TAO | Us |
| Trades on the bonding curve | 1% of each trade | 70% to us, 30% to the Creator |
| Graduation to Uniswap | 1 TAO, taken from the curve's TAO | Us |
| Trades in the graduated Uniswap V3 pool | 1% pool fee on each trade | 70% to us, 30% to the Creator |
You also pay the Bittensor network's transaction fees (gas). The buy that sells out a bonding curve also creates the Uniswap pool, so it uses more gas than a normal trade. Fees for an existing token are fixed when the token is created. We may change fees for tokens created in the future, and the Interface always shows the fees that apply. Fees are not refundable.
5. If you create a token
As a Creator you are solely responsible for your token, its name, symbol, image, description, links and any statements you or others make about it. You confirm and agree that:
- You are not using the token to offer securities, investment contracts, financial instruments, profit-sharing or any promise of return, and you will not market it as such.
- Your token does not infringe anyone's trademark, copyright or other rights, and does not impersonate a real person, company, project or public authority.
- Your token's content is not unlawful, fraudulent, misleading, hateful, sexually explicit, exploitative of minors, or intended to harass anyone.
- You will comply with all laws that apply to you and to how you promote the token, including consumer protection, marketing and financial regulation.
6. Prohibited use
You must not use the Interface to:
- commit fraud, including coordinated "pump and dump" or "rug pull" schemes;
- manipulate markets, including wash trading or spoofing;
- launder money, finance terrorism, or evade sanctions;
- break any law;
- attack, overload or interfere with the Interface or the smart contracts;
- scrape the Interface in a way that harms its operation.
7. Moderation of the Interface
We cannot change or delete tokens or contracts on the blockchain. We may, at our sole discretion and without notice, hide any token, content or address from the Interface, or restrict anyone's access to it. Typical reasons are a breach of these Terms, a legal requirement or a risk to users. Doing so does not affect the token on the blockchain.
8. Risks you accept
By using the Interface you understand and accept, among other things, that:
- Meme coins are highly speculative, usually have no intrinsic value, and you can lose everything you put in.
- The smart contracts are in beta and have not been independently audited. They may contain bugs that cause loss of funds.
- Blockchain transactions are irreversible. A wrong address, a wrong amount or a compromised wallet can cause permanent loss.
- Prices can move sharply, including between the moment you submit a trade and the moment it executes, within the slippage you set.
- There is no guarantee of liquidity, that a token will graduate, or that you will be able to sell.
- Third-party systems can fail, change or be attacked. These include the Bittensor network, Uniswap V3 as deployed by TaoFi, wallets, RPC providers, block explorers and Cloudflare.
- Laws and regulations on crypto-assets are changing and may restrict or affect your use of the Interface or of tokens.
9. Third-party services
The Interface links to and relies on services we do not control, such as Bittensor, Uniswap and TaoFi, wallets, taostats and Creator-provided websites and social media. We are not responsible for them, and your use of them is governed by their own terms.
10. Taxes
You are solely responsible for determining and paying any taxes that apply to your use of the Interface and to any tokens or fees you receive.
11. Intellectual property
The Interface's design, text, logo and code are owned by us or our licensors. You may use the Interface for its intended purpose. Token names, images and descriptions belong to their Creators, who grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display them in the Interface.
12. No warranties
The Interface and the smart contracts are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. This includes warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, accuracy and non-infringement. Data shown in the Interface is read from the blockchain and third parties and may be delayed or wrong.
13. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss of funds, tokens, profits, data or opportunity, or for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, arising from your use of the Interface, the smart contracts or any token. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the service fees you paid to us in the 12 months before the claim arose. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including for gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
14. Indemnity
You will compensate us for any claims, losses and costs, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your breach of these Terms, from your token or from your violation of any law or third-party right.
15. Changes and termination
We may change these Terms at any time by publishing a new version on this page with a new date. Continued use after a change means you accept it. We may suspend or discontinue the Interface, in whole or in part, at any time. Because the smart contracts run independently, they keep working even if the Interface does not.
