Terms and Conditions

Bumper provides information and resources about the fundamentals of the decentralised non-custodial liquidity protocol called the Bumper Protocol (the “Bumper Protocol” or “Protocol”). Bumper.fi is not one of the available access points to the Bumper Protocol. 

Bumper.fi is provided as an informational resource. Bumper.fi provides resources about the fundamentals of the Bumper Protocol, which is a fully decentralised, community-governed protocol deployed on the blockchain, and provides information about the Bumper ecosystem, governance, community, and various interfaces and integrations to the Bumper Protocol. 

All information provided in connection with your access and use of the Site and the Services is for informational purposes only. You should not take, or refrain from taking, any action based on any information contained on the Site or any other information that we make available at any time, including blog posts, data, articles, links to third-party content, discord content, news feeds, tutorials, tweets, and videos. Before you make any financial, legal, technical, or other decisions involving the Bumper Protocol, you should seek independent professional advice from a licensed and qualified individual in the area for which such advice would be appropriate. 

You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the availability of such external sites, applications, or resources, and do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources. 

You further acknowledge and agree that we will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available on or through any such site or resource.

It is important to understand that neither we nor any affiliated entity is a party to any transaction on the blockchain networks underlying the Bumper Protocol; we do not have possession, custody, or control over any crypto assets appearing on the Bumper Protocol; and we do not have possession, custody, or control over any user’s funds. Further, we do not store, send, or receive any crypto assets. You understand that when you interact with any Bumper Protocol smart contracts, you retain control over your crypto assets at all times. The private key associated with the wallet address from which you transfer crypto assets or the private key associated is the only private key that can control the crypto assets you transfer into the smart contracts. You alone are responsible for securing your private keys. We do not have access to your private keys. Due to the non-custodial and decentralised nature of the technology, we are not intermediaries, agents, advisors, or custodians, and we do not have a fiduciary relationship or obligation to you regarding any other decisions or activities that you affect when using the Bumper Protocol. You acknowledge that we, for the avoidance of doubt, do not have any information regarding any users, users’ identities, or services beyond what is available or obtainable publicly via the blockchain. We are not responsible for any activities you engage in when using the Bumper Protocol, and you should understand the risks associated with crypto assets, and blockchain technology generally. 

The software underlying blockchain networks on which the Bumper Protocol is deployed, including, for example, the Ethereum blockchain, is open source, which means that anyone can use, utilise, and build on top of it. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree (i) that we are not responsible for the operation of the blockchain-based software and networks underlying the Bumper Protocol, (ii) that there exists no guarantee of the functionality, security, or availability of that software and networks, and (iii) that the underlying blockchain-based networks are subject to sudden changes in operating rules, such as those commonly referred to as “forks”. 

Transactions on the blockchain are not anonymous. 

A widespread belief is that transactions involving blockchains are anonymous. In fact, a central feature of blockchains and thus, blockchain-based transactions, are that they are transparent. Your public key and your wallet address, which you need to buy or sell items on the blockchain, are visible to anyone. To the extent your public key or wallet address can be linked back to you, it would be possible for someone to determine your identity and the crypto assets you own. 

Transactions on the Bumper Protocol rely on smart contracts stored on various blockchains, cryptographic tokens generated by the smart contracts, and other nascent software, applications, and systems that interact with blockchain-based networks. These technologies are experimental, speculative, inherently risky, and subject to change. Among other risks, bugs, malfunctions, cyberattacks, or changes to the applicable blockchain (e.g., forks) could disrupt these technologies and even result in a total loss of crypto assets, their market value, or digital funds. 

You are solely responsible for the safekeeping of the private key associated with the blockchain address used to interact with the Protocol. We assume no liability or responsibility for any such risks. If you are not comfortable assuming these risks, you should not access or engage in transactions using blockchain-based technology. 

One of the other defining features of blockchain technology is that its entries are immutable, which means, as a technical matter, they generally cannot be deleted or modified by anyone. This includes smart contracts and crypto-assets generated and programmed by smart contracts. 

THUS, TRANSACTIONS RECORDED ON THE BLOCKCHAIN, INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF CRYPTO ASSETS AND DATA PROGRAMMED INTO THESE ASSETS (SUCH AS REVENUE AND INTEREST ALLOCATIONS), MUST BE TREATED AS PERMANENT AND CANNOT BE UNDONE BY US OR BY ANYONE. YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU FINALISE ANY TRANSACTION THAT WILL BE RECORDED ON THE BLOCKCHAIN. 

We are not liable for any third-party services or links. 

We are not responsible for the content or services of any third party, including, without limitation, any network, or apps like Discord, or MetaMask, and we make no representations regarding the content or accuracy of any third-party services or materials. The use and access of any third-party products or services, including through the Bumper Protocol, is at your own risk.

We reserve the right to restrict your access from engaging with the Bumper Protocol. You agree that we have the right to restrict your access to the Bumper Protocol via any technically available methods if we suspect, in our sole discretion, that (a) you are using the Bumper Protocol for money laundering or any illegal activity; (b) you have engaged in fraudulent activity; (c) you have acquired crypto assets using inappropriate methods, including the use of stolen funds to purchase such assets; (d) you are the target of any sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, Her Majesty’s Treasury, or any other legal or regulatory authority in any applicable jurisdiction; (e) either you, as an individual or an entity, or your wallet address is listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (“SDN List”), Consolidated Sanctions List (“Non-SDN Lists), or any other sanctions lists administered by OFAC; (f) you are located, organised, or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of sanctions; or (g) you have otherwise acted in violation of these Terms. If we have a reasonable suspicion that you are utilising the Site for illegal purposes, we reserve the right to take whatever action we deem appropriate. 

We do not guarantee the quality or accessibility of the Services. 

As a condition to accessing or using the Bumper Protocol or the Site, you acknowledge, understand, and agree that from time to time, the Site and the Services may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including, but not limited to equipment malfunctions, periodic maintenance procedures or repairs, causes beyond our control or that we could not reasonably foresee, disruptions and temporary or permanent unavailability of underlying blockchain infrastructure or unavailability of third-party service providers or external partners for any reason. 

Taxes

You are responsible for your taxes and duties. Users bear sole responsibility for paying any and all taxes, duties, and assessments now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority associated with their use of the Bumper Protocol, and/or payable as the result of using and/or exploiting any crypto assets and interacting with smart contracts. Blockchain-based transactions are novel, and their tax treatment is uncertain.
