1Inch — Terms

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the 1Inch platform, including its web interface available at 1inch.io, the 1Inch Wallet mobile application, any associated APIs, or any other products operated under the same brand, users acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service. This agreement constitutes a binding contract between the user and the entity operating the platform. Users who do not agree with any part of these terms must immediately discontinue use of the service. The platform reserves the right to modify these terms at any time, and continued use of the service following publication of updated terms constitutes acceptance of those changes. It is the user's responsibility to review these terms periodically. Access to the service through automated tools, bots, or scrapers is also subject to these terms unless a separate written agreement expressly permits such access.

Eligibility Requirements

Use of the platform is restricted to individuals who meet all applicable eligibility requirements at the time of access. Users must be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. Residents of jurisdictions where access to decentralized finance applications is prohibited or restricted by applicable law are not permitted to use the service, and it is the user's responsibility to determine whether their local laws allow such use. The platform does not currently serve users who are subject to sanctions administered by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, or any other applicable sanctions authority. By using the service, users represent and warrant that they satisfy all eligibility criteria and that their use will not violate any applicable law or regulation. False representations regarding eligibility may result in immediate termination of access.

Account and Wallet Terms

The platform operates on a non-custodial model, meaning that users connect their own externally controlled wallets to access the swap interface rather than creating traditional accounts with usernames and passwords. Users bear sole responsibility for the security of their wallet credentials, including private keys, seed phrases, and hardware wallet devices. The service will never ask for a user's private key or seed phrase, and any request purporting to come from the platform that solicits such information should be treated as fraudulent. Where the 1Inch Wallet application is used, users are responsible for securely backing up their recovery phrase and storing it in a location inaccessible to unauthorized parties. The platform cannot recover lost wallets, reverse unauthorized transactions, or restore access to funds if a user loses their credentials. Users who suspect unauthorized access to their wallet should immediately revoke the wallet's connection to the interface and transfer assets to a secure alternative address.

Permitted Use of the Service

The platform grants users a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the service for personal and commercial token swap activities in accordance with these terms and all applicable laws. Users may interact with the aggregation interface to obtain price quotes, execute token swaps, review transaction histories, and manage connected wallets. The 1Inch Wallet application may be used for storing, sending, receiving, and swapping digital assets supported by the platform. Any use of the service beyond these permitted activities requires prior written authorization. The platform reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the service at any time without prior notice, and will not be liable to users or third parties for such modifications. Users acknowledge that blockchain transactions are irreversible and that they bear full responsibility for confirming the accuracy of transaction details before submission.

Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the platform's web interface, mobile applications, branding, logos, proprietary algorithms including the Pathfinder routing engine, documentation, and other original content are owned by or licensed to the operating entity and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and other applicable intellectual property laws. Users are granted no rights in any of these assets beyond the limited license described in the Permitted Use section. Open-source components of the protocol are governed by their respective open-source licenses, details of which are available in the project's public code repositories. Users may not reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from any proprietary element of the service without explicit written permission. The 1Inch name, logo, and associated marks are registered or common-law trademarks, and unauthorized use of these marks in connection with any product or service is prohibited.

Prohibited Conduct

Users are strictly prohibited from engaging in any activity that violates applicable law, harms other users, or compromises the integrity or availability of the platform. Specifically prohibited conduct includes: using the service to process transactions that violate anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing laws; attempting to manipulate token prices or liquidity pools through wash trading, front-running bots operating in bad faith, or other market manipulation schemes; accessing or attempting to access areas of the system not intended for public use; introducing malware, viruses, or other harmful code into the platform or its underlying infrastructure; using automated scripts or bots to scrape data at volumes that degrade service performance for other users; impersonating the platform or its team members in any communication; and facilitating any of the foregoing activities by third parties. Violations may result in immediate termination of access, reporting to relevant law enforcement authorities, and pursuit of all available legal remedies.

Disclaimers

The platform is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. The service expressly disclaims all implied warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. No representation or warranty is made that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any price quotes displayed are accurate at the time of transaction execution given the inherent latency of blockchain confirmation. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, and the platform does not guarantee any particular outcome from any swap transaction. Information displayed on the interface is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Users should consult qualified professional advisors before making decisions based on information obtained through the service.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the platform, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents shall not be liable to any user for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising from or related to the use of or inability to use the service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation applies to damages arising from lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, business interruption, personal injury, or any other intangible losses. In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion of certain damages, liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. The total aggregate liability of the platform to any individual user for any claims arising under or related to these terms shall not exceed the greater of one hundred US dollars or the total fees, if any, paid by that user to the service in the twelve months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or exclusion of certain damages, so portions of this section may not apply to all users.

Indemnification

Users agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the platform and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: the user's access to or use of the service; the user's violation of these terms; the user's violation of any applicable law or regulation; the user's infringement of any third-party right, including intellectual property rights or privacy rights; or any dispute between the user and any third party arising from use of the service. The platform reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by the user, in which case the user agrees to cooperate fully with the platform's defense of that claim. This indemnification obligation survives the termination of these terms and the user's cessation of use of the service.

Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms or the use of the platform, users agree to first attempt to resolve the matter informally by contacting the support team and providing a written description of the dispute. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute within 30 days of such notice. If informal resolution is unsuccessful, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered under the rules of a mutually agreed arbitration body, with proceedings conducted in English. Users and the platform each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in class action litigation. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to prevent irreparable harm. Users who reside in jurisdictions where mandatory arbitration clauses are unenforceable retain the right to bring claims in their local courts of competent jurisdiction.

Termination

The platform reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate any user's access to the service at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these terms, suspected fraudulent or illegal activity, extended periods of inactivity, or business decisions requiring discontinuation of all or part of the service. Users may terminate their use of the service at any time by disconnecting their wallet and ceasing to access the interface or applications. Because the platform is non-custodial, termination does not affect ownership of any digital assets held in the user's own wallet. Upon termination, all licenses granted under these terms cease immediately. Provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property clauses, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification obligations, and dispute resolution provisions — will remain in full force and effect. The platform will not be liable to any user for any termination of access carried out in accordance with these terms.

Changes to These Terms

The platform reserves the right to amend or replace these Terms of Service at any time in response to changes in the law, updates to the service, or evolving business requirements. When material changes are made, the service will provide notice through the website interface, and where applicable, via email to users who have provided contact information. The notice period before material changes take effect will be at least 14 days, except where a shorter period is required by law or to address an urgent security matter. The updated effective date will always be clearly displayed at the top of the terms document. Users who do not agree with any revised terms must discontinue use of the platform before the changes take effect. Continued use of the service after the effective date of any update constitutes binding acceptance of the revised terms. For questions about any proposed or recent changes, users are encouraged to contact the support team through the official channels listed on the website.
