Terms and Conditions
Scope
These terms govern use of the Arch website at [https://www.arch.finance] and the Arch decentralized applications ("or dApps") accessible at [https://beta.archfinance.io] and other addresses. The operator of the website may offer other products and services. These terms apply only to use of the website and dApps.
Arch OTC LLC., a Delaware company, operates the website and its interface to the dApps. It is referred to in this document as the "operator."
Important Terms
These terms include a number of especially important provisions that affect your rights and responsibilities, such as the disclaimers in Disclaimers, limits on the operator's legal liability to you in Limits on Liability, your agreement to reimburse the operator for problems caused by your misuse of the website in Your Responsibility, and an agreement about how to resolve disputes in Disputes.
The Arch dApps are part of a platform that allows users to create new ERC-20 tokens that aggregate and provide holders with exposure to a number of different token sectors, including exchanges, lending, digital property, entertainment, among others ("Sector Tokens"). If a user wants to purchase a token, the Arch Platform will interact directly with Ethereum smart contracts and protocols that allow for the creation of the token sets.Users will connect their self-custodied wallets to the Arch Platform prior to them creating any Sector Tokens. While the Arch Platform will allow for the interaction with Ethereum smart contracts and protocols, it will not provide or have custody of any user tokens (i.e. users will self-custody the tokens). Arch will receive a fee as part of the process.
Certain features on the dApps may be offered while still in "beta" form. By accepting these Terms or using any services in beta form, you understand and acknowledge that they are being provided as a "Beta" version and made available on an "As Is" or "As Available" basis. Services in "beta" form may contain bugs, errors, and other problems. You assume all risks and all costs associated with your use of services in beta form.
The displayed price for Index Tokens may differ from the price upon purchase or sale of an Index Token. The price will depend on the market factors, such as the depth of liquidity pools and activity of automated market makers.
Using the Arch dApps may require that you pay an additional fee, such as gas charges on the Ethereum network, to perform a transaction. You acknowledge and agree that Arch has no control over any transactions, the method of payment of any transactions or any actual payments of transactions. Accordingly, you must ensure that you have a sufficient balance of the applicable cryptocurrency tokens stored at your protocol-compatible wallet address to complete any transaction on the Arch dApps or the Ethereum network before initiating such transaction.
