Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: March 5, 2026 Welcome to RunBook AI. By accessing or using the protocol, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the RunBook AI protocol, smart contracts, website, APIs, or any related services (collectively, the “Protocol”), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, you may not use the Protocol.

2. Definitions

  • “The DAO” refers to the RunBook AI Decentralized Autonomous Organization, which governs the Protocol through on-chain governance mechanisms.
  • “The Protocol” refers to the RunBook AI platform, smart contracts, marketplace, and all associated services.
  • “You,” “User” refers to any individual or entity accessing or using the Protocol.
  • “Content” refers to any data, text, code, configurations, strategies, or other materials submitted to or generated through the Protocol.
  • “Governance Token” refers to the token used to participate in DAO governance decisions.

3. Decentralized Governance

The RunBook AI Protocol is governed by the DAO. All protocol assets, treasury funds, smart contracts, and operational decisions are controlled by the DAO through on-chain governance.
  • No single entity, team, or individual has unilateral control over the Protocol or its assets.
  • Protocol upgrades, fee structures, and operational changes are subject to DAO governance proposals and voting.
  • Governance participation is open to all Governance Token holders in accordance with the DAO’s governance framework.

4. Wallet-Based Access

Access to the Protocol is wallet-based. There are no centralized accounts or passwords. You are solely responsible for:
  • Securing your wallet private keys and seed phrases.
  • All transactions and activity originating from your wallet.
  • Any losses resulting from compromised, lost, or mismanaged wallet credentials.
No party — including the DAO or its contributors — can recover lost wallet access or reverse on-chain transactions.

5. Use of the Protocol

You agree to use the Protocol only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You shall not:
  • Use the Protocol in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.
  • Attempt to exploit, manipulate, or gain unauthorized access to the Protocol’s smart contracts or infrastructure.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Protocol.
  • Use the Protocol to transmit malicious code or conduct attacks against the network.
  • Engage in market manipulation, front-running, or other exploitative trading practices.

6. Smart Contract Risks

The Protocol operates through smart contracts deployed on the Solana blockchain. By using the Protocol, you acknowledge and accept that:
  • Smart contracts may contain bugs or vulnerabilities despite auditing.
  • On-chain transactions are irreversible once confirmed.
  • Blockchain networks may experience congestion, downtime, or forks beyond anyone’s control.
  • Interactions with DeFi protocols carry inherent financial risk, including the potential for total loss of funds.

7. Intellectual Property

Protocol Code

The Protocol’s source code is governed by its applicable open-source license(s) as determined by the DAO. Contributions to the Protocol are subject to the DAO’s governance and licensing decisions.

Your Content

You retain ownership of strategies and Content you submit to the Protocol. By submitting Content, you grant the Protocol a non-exclusive license to execute, store, and display your Content as necessary for the Protocol to function. Once a strategy is published and locked on-chain, it becomes permanently immutable as described in the Protocol’s design.

8. Fees and Revenue

The Protocol’s fee structure is determined by DAO governance. Currently:
  • Fee rates for strategy rentals and performance are set by the DAO and may be modified through governance proposals.
  • All fees are collected and distributed through smart contracts.
  • Treasury funds are controlled by the DAO.

9. Protocol Availability

The Protocol is provided on a decentralized, best-effort basis. No party guarantees uninterrupted access. The Protocol may experience:
  • Downtime due to blockchain network issues.
  • Changes or upgrades approved through DAO governance.
  • Temporary unavailability during maintenance or migration periods.

10. Disclaimers

THE PROTOCOL IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. No party — including the DAO, its contributors, token holders, or developers — warrants that the Protocol will be error-free, secure, or available at all times. You use the Protocol entirely at your own risk. DeFi strategies involve significant financial risk. Past performance of any strategy on the marketplace does not guarantee future results. You may lose some or all of your capital.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DAO, ITS CONTRIBUTORS, DEVELOPERS, TOKEN HOLDERS, AND ANY AFFILIATED PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF FUNDS, PROFITS, OR DATA, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PROTOCOL.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the DAO, its contributors, developers, and token holders from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from:
  • Your use of the Protocol.
  • Your violation of these Terms.
  • Your violation of any third-party rights.
  • Any losses resulting from strategies you create, rent, or deploy.

13. Modifications to Terms

These Terms may be modified through DAO governance proposals. Material changes will be communicated through the Protocol’s official channels. Your continued use of the Protocol after such changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws applicable to decentralized protocols and the jurisdiction(s) relevant to the DAO’s legal structure, without regard to conflict of law principles.
