Terms of Service
Effective Date: August 3, 2025
Welcome to Tezoro, Inc. ("Tezoro," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our website, products, or services (collectively, the “Services”), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Services.
1. No Financial Advice or Guarantees
1.1 Tezoro provides access to decentralized finance (DeFi) tools and infrastructure. We are not a licensed financial advisor, broker, fiduciary, or investment manager. Nothing on our website or in our Services constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.
1.2 All references to historical performance, projected returns, or yield estimates are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a guarantee of future performance or profit. Tezoro makes no promise or assurance that using our Services will result in any financial gain.
1.3 You are solely responsible for your own financial decisions. We strongly recommend that you consult with a qualified financial advisor before using Tezoro.
2. Risk Disclosure
2.1 By using Tezoro, you acknowledge and accept that ALL FUNDS ARE AT RISK and MAY BE LOST IN PART OR IN FULL.
2.2 Use of blockchain‐based protocols and financial technologies involves substantial risks, including but not limited to:
- Vulnerabilities or exploits in Tezoro’s software or smart contracts
- Risks arising from third-party DeFi protocols, including bugs, logic errors, governance failures, or insolvency
- Loss of access to your wallet or private keys, resulting in permanent loss of assets
- Stablecoin depegging, resulting in loss of value of assets assumed to be stable
- Oracle failures or manipulation, resulting in incorrect pricing or execution
- Liquidation events due to market movements or incorrect collateral valuation
- Extreme market volatility, including sudden price drops and loss of liquidity
- Software bugs, unintended behaviors, or updates that break integrations
- Human error, including incorrect transactions, misconfiguration, or signing mistakes
- Regulatory actions, law changes, or government interventions in your jurisdiction
- Cyberattacks, phishing, or hacking of your devices or third-party integrations
2.3 IMPORTANT:
TEZORO PROVIDES NO INSURANCE, COMPENSATION, OR REFUNDS FOR ANY LOSSES. YOU USE THE SERVICE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
3. Non-Custodial Design with Programmatic Allocation
3.1 Tezoro is a non-custodial platform: we do not hold your private keys or directly store your assets. Your funds remain on-chain, and you retain legal and technical ownership at all times.
3.2 Upon your one-time on-chain authorization, the Tezoro smart contract system may programmatically allocate and reallocate your assets across supported DeFi protocols to pursue optimized yields—without requiring further manual approvals for each individual move.
3.3 Important Clarifications:
- After initial authorization, Tezoro may move assets within authorized protocols automatically.
- Tezoro cannot transfer funds to external wallets beyond the permissions you have granted via the smart contract.
- We do not have access to your private keys and cannot unilaterally withdraw or redirect your funds.
- A performance fee may be deducted, as transparently disclosed in the interface and enforced by the smart contracts.
3.4 You acknowledge that these automated, algorithm-driven interactions carry risks beyond our control, including technical failures, protocol vulnerabilities, and market losses.
4. Services Provided “As Is”
4.1 All Services are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, without warranties or guarantees of any kind, express or implied.
4.2 Tezoro makes no representation or warranty that:
- The Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure;
- Any smart contracts or integrations are free from bugs or exploits;
- Any information provided (including APY estimates or historical performance) is accurate, current, or complete;
- Any financial outcome will be achieved.
5. Limitation of Liability
5.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Tezoro shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or special damages, including loss of funds, data, profits, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of the Services.
5.2 This limitation applies even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the legal theory under which the claim is brought.
5.3 You expressly agree that your use of the Services is at your sole risk, and you release Tezoro and its contributors from all liability related to any losses.

12. Force Majeure
