Bot is a permissionless and fully decentralized platform for token sales, swaps, and decentralized exchange.

The use of KYC/AML tools on Bot by fundraising entities using the Service is completely at the discretion of said entities.
Although Bot makes no warranty as to the merit, legality or juridical nature of any token (including whether or not it is considered a security or financial instrument under any applicable Securities Laws), token sale or fundraiser on top of Bot, we nonetheless understand the need of some token projects to require KYC/AML on their token sale participants.
Therefore, and at the sole behest of fundraising entities and/or competent regulatory authorities:

To that end, the Service is not offered to individuals or entities on any Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) lists, or subject to any United States, European Union, or other global sanctions or watch lists. By using the Service, end users represent and warrant that they are not on any such lists.

17. Governing Law
The Terms and any matters relating hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman Islands.

20. Digital assets and Cryptocurrency
DIGITAL ASSETS AND CRYPTOCURRENCY VALUES CAN FLUCTUATE GREATLY IN VALUE DEPENDING ON MARKET CONDITIONS.
THE USER WARRANTS THAT IT IS AWARE OF THE VOLATILE NATURE OF DIGITAL ASSETS AND CRYPTOCURRENCIES, AND HOLDS THE BOT HARMLESS FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM SUCH VOLATILITY.
TRANSACTIONS IN DIGITAL ASSETS OR CRYPTOCURRENCY MAY BE IRREVERSIBLE, AND, ACCORDINGLY, LOSSES DUE TO FRAUDULENT TRANSACTIONS MAY NOT BE RECOVERABLE. THE NATURE OF DIGITAL ASSETS MAY LEAD TO AND INCREASED RISK OF FRAUD OR CYBER ATTACK, AND MAY MEAN THAT TECHNOLOGICAL DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED BY THE BOT MAY PREVENT THE ACCESS TO OR USE OF YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS OR CRYPTOCURRENCY.
21. Derivatives
DERIVATIVES PRODUCTS CARRY A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AS THEY OFTEN INVOLVE GEARING OR LEVERAGE, SO THAT A RELATIVELY SMALL MOVEMENT IN THE PRICE OF THE UNDERLYING DIGITAL ASSET RESULTS IN A MUCH LARGER MOVEMENT, FAVOURABLE OR UNFAVOURABLE, IN THE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT. IF THE DIRECTION OF THE TRADE IS OPPOSITE TO THE FLUCTUATION OF THE MARKET, IT WILL CAUSE A LARGE LOSS.

22. Miscellaneous
22.1 No waiver by the Bot of any breach of any provision of this Terms (including the failure of the Bot to require strict and literal performance of or compliance with any provision of this Terms) shall in any way be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Terms.
