Disclaimer And Legal Safety¶
Last updated: 2026-06-28
This Disclaimer describes the risk posture for Cortensor materials, services, network features, contracts, and $COR token-related surfaces. It is written as a binding waiver and release of liability. If a user does not agree with the Disclaimer, the user should stop interacting with Cortensor materials, services, and token-related surfaces.
At A Glance¶
Cortensor services, contracts, network features, and token-related functions can be experimental, incomplete, interrupted, or changed.
No fiduciary, adviser, custodian, broker, or similar relationship is created by using Cortensor.
Token holding does not grant ownership, equity, debt, securities, revenue rights, or similar legal or financial rights.
Cortensor reserves broad authority to restrict addresses or token-related activity where needed for network integrity.
Core Disclaimer Points¶
| Area | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Binding waiver | Use of Cortensor materials or $COR token-related surfaces is conditioned on accepting the Disclaimer. |
| No fiduciary relationship | Users are not relying on Cortensor as a fiduciary, adviser, custodian, broker, agent, or similar party. |
| Experimental environment | Cortensor platform features and $COR token-related functionality may be experimental, testnet/devnet-oriented, simulated, incomplete, or subject to change. |
| No investment treatment | $COR is not presented as an investment promise, guarantee of profit, guaranteed value, revenue right, or commitment to a future network state. |
| No ownership or rights | $COR does not confer ownership, equity, securities, debt, voting rights, revenue participation, IP rights, or legal control over Cortensor. |
| Derivative product risk | Staking, yield, lending, farming, or similar derivative uses are user-risk activities and can result in total loss. |
| Blacklist authority | Wallet addresses or associated tokens may be blacklisted, frozen, seized, restricted, or otherwise controlled where Cortensor determines it is necessary. |
| Liability release | Users assume risk and release Cortensor and related parties from claims to the maximum extent permitted by law. |
| Updates | Cortensor may amend the Disclaimer. Continued use after updates can indicate acceptance of the updated terms. |
Experimental Platform And Token Risk¶
Cortensor materials and services may involve experimental software, decentralized infrastructure, smart contracts, testnet/devnet environments, simulated workflows, and changing network behavior. Users should not treat roadmap language, future mainnet references, token descriptions, staking examples, or product plans as promises, guarantees, or commitments.
Token-related activity may involve market risk, migration risk, liquidity risk, smart-contract risk, bridge/network risk, exchange risk, OTC counterparty risk, blacklist/restriction risk, and irreversible blockchain transactions.
No Ownership, Financial, Or Legal Rights¶
Holding or using $COR does not grant:
- ownership in Cortensor;
- equity, debt, securities, or revenue rights;
- rights to assets, intellectual property, fees, or profits;
- guaranteed voting or governance rights unless an active governance mechanism grants them;
- guaranteed utility, value, liquidity, listing, migration, redemption, or continued support.
Derivative And Staking Risk¶
Any staking, yield, lending, farming, reward, or derivative use of $COR is undertaken at the user's own risk. Smart contracts and network features may fail, change, pause, be exploited, or be deprecated. Users are responsible for understanding the contracts, wallets, approvals, staking mechanics, and withdrawal conditions they use.
Restricted-Address Authority¶
Cortensor reserves authority to blacklist, freeze, seize, restrict, or otherwise control wallet addresses and related $COR token activity where needed to protect the network, project, users, token holders, contractors, or ecosystem. Reasons can include scams, stolen funds, launch sniping, contractor violations, Sybil attempts, malicious behavior, or other harmful activity.
The maintained restricted-address list is published in Safety And Restricted Addresses.
User Responsibility¶
Users are responsible for:
- reading and understanding the Terms, Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and safety pages;
- verifying official links, migration instructions, contract addresses, wallets, staking pages, and announcements;
- securing private keys, seed phrases, API keys, approvals, passwords, and devices;
- evaluating third-party providers, wallets, bridges, DEXs, explorers, OTC counterparties, bots, and integrations;
- complying with applicable laws, sanctions, AML/KYC requirements, tax obligations, and platform rules.
Governance And Compliance Themes¶
| Theme | Policy direction |
|---|---|
| Governance | Token-holder governance, proposals, and voting can exist where deployed or otherwise enabled. |
| Voting | Voting power may be proportional to holdings, depending on the active governance mechanism. |
| Reputation and staking | Staking and reputation systems can include accountability, non-compliance handling, or slashing where implemented. |
| Compliance | Audits, assessments, KYC/AML processes, sanctions screening, and legal/regulatory reviews may apply to some roles or services. |
| Privacy/security | Data protection, encryption, secure storage, and incident response connect to the Privacy Policy. |
Liability, Claims, And Updates¶
Cortensor services and materials are provided as-is and as-available to the extent allowed by law. Users assume the risks of using experimental software, decentralized infrastructure, smart contracts, wallets, token-related functions, and third-party tools. The Disclaimer includes broad waiver, release, limitation-of-liability, and no-legal-recourse language.
Cortensor may update the Disclaimer at any time. Changes are effective when posted unless stated otherwise, and continued use can indicate acceptance of the updated Disclaimer.
How To Read Risk Statements¶
| Statement type | How to interpret it |
|---|---|
| Token utility | Utility descriptions explain intended or available product behavior. They are not investment, profit, yield, or price-support promises. |
| Governance | Governance language applies where a governance mechanism is deployed, active, and documented. |
| Staking or rewards | Reward examples depend on deployed contracts, program rules, eligibility, and network conditions. They are not guarantees. |
| Restricted addresses | Restriction language reflects network-safety authority and published restricted-address policy. |
| Roadmap and launch timing | Roadmap, testnet, mainnet, and product timing are dated planning materials and can change. |
| Corgent and Bardiel | Delegate, validate, factcheck, and arbitration language refers to technical oracle workflows unless a separate legal arbitration process is published. |
