Terms and Conditions

Effective date: 1 January 2025 Last updated: March 2025
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using Dextopus or integrating our API. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. About Dextopus

Dextopus is a cross-chain execution infrastructure provider. We offer a REST API that enables businesses to accept deposits, execute swaps, and facilitate withdrawals across multiple blockchain networks. Dextopus is a business-to-business service. Our direct customers are companies, developers, and organisations that integrate our API into their own products.

Dextopus does not operate as a financial institution, bank, or regulated money services business. We provide technical infrastructure. The platforms built on top of Dextopus are independently responsible for their own regulatory compliance, user agreements, and licensing obligations in the jurisdictions in which they operate.

2. Eligibility and Access

To access and use the Dextopus API, you must:

Access to the API may be limited, suspended, or terminated at our discretion if we reasonably believe these conditions are not met.

3. Permitted Use

You may use the Dextopus API to build and operate products and services that facilitate legitimate cross-chain asset transfers for your users. This includes integrating deposit, swap, and withdrawal functionality into wallets, neobanks, fintechs, payment processors, DeFi protocols, and similar applications.

You may not use the Dextopus API to:

4. Partner Fees

The Dextopus API supports a partner fee mechanism that allows integrators to collect fees on transactions processed through their integration. You are solely responsible for determining the fee amounts you charge your users, disclosing those fees clearly to your users, and complying with any applicable regulations governing fees in your jurisdiction.

Dextopus does not take responsibility for the fee structures set by integration partners or any disputes between partners and their users regarding fees charged.

5. API Reliability and Uptime

We work to maintain high availability and reliability of the Dextopus API. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The API may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, third-party protocol issues, or events outside our control.

Cross-chain transactions involve multiple third-party protocols including bridges, DEX aggregators, and blockchain networks. Transaction outcomes depend on the availability and behaviour of these external systems. Dextopus is not liable for delays, failures, or losses that arise from the behaviour of third-party protocols.

6. Transaction Finality

Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Once a cross-chain transaction has been submitted and confirmed, it cannot be reversed, recalled, or refunded by Dextopus. You are responsible for ensuring that:

Dextopus is not responsible for funds sent to incorrect addresses, transactions submitted with erroneous parameters, or losses arising from user error.

7. Intellectual Property

The Dextopus API, documentation, brand, and all associated intellectual property remain the exclusive property of Dextopus. Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of or a licence to our intellectual property beyond what is expressly required to use the API for its intended purpose.

You retain all rights to the products and applications you build using the Dextopus API. By integrating with Dextopus, you grant us a limited right to reference your product as an integration partner for marketing and promotional purposes, unless you notify us in writing that you do not consent to this.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Dextopus and its affiliates, officers, employees, and service providers shall not be liable for:

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from your use of the Dextopus API shall not exceed the fees paid by you to Dextopus in the three months preceding the claim, or $500, whichever is greater.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dextopus, its affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the API, your violation of these Terms, the products you build using Dextopus, or your users' actions in connection with your integration.

10. Modifications to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Dextopus API after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you should discontinue use of the API.

For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify active integration partners in advance.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate access to the Dextopus API at any time. Dextopus reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access immediately and without notice if we determine that you have violated these Terms, are engaging in fraudulent or harmful activity, or if continued access poses a legal or security risk.

Upon termination, your right to use the API ceases immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will do so, including limitations of liability, indemnification, and intellectual property provisions.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Dextopus API shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the applicable jurisdiction. If you are uncertain about the applicable jurisdiction, please contact us before using the service.
