User Disclaimer

Last updated: August 31, 2026

  1. INTRODUCTION

By accessing or using any Oracle (as defined below), you agree to this disclaimer in its current version (the "Disclaimer"). If you do not agree, you must not access or use any Oracle. In this Disclaimer, "you" (or "User") refers to the company, legal entity, DAO or other organization on whose behalf you access or use any Oracle. If you access or use any Oracle on behalf of such an organization, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind that organization to this Disclaimer. This Disclaimer applies to the access to or the usage of data from any Chronicle Oracle, whether such access has been requested through Chronicle's onboarding form or has been obtained otherwise.

In this Disclaimer, "Oracle" means any onchain smart contract data feed deployed on the Chronicle Protocol, including any related data pipeline, data output, parameter or value and the display thereof.

  1. SCOPE; RELATIONSHIP TO TERMS OF USE

This Disclaimer is, to the extent outlined below, supplemental to Chronicle's Terms of Use (the "Terms of Use"), which are hereby incorporated into this Disclaimer by reference. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Disclaimer have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Use. In the event of any inconsistency between this Disclaimer and the Terms of Use with respect to your access to or use of the Oracles, this Disclaimer prevails. Without limitation, Sections 6 (Eligibility; Restrictions), 7 (Prohibited Use), 8 (Intellectual Property), 9 (Important Disclaimers), 10 (Limitation of Liability; Release; Indemnification) and 11 (Changes; Suspension; Restriction; Termination) of the Terms of Use (or any equivalent provisions in any subsequent version of the Terms of Use) additionally apply to your access to and use of the Oracles, and any reference therein to the Services includes the Oracles.

If you have entered into a separate agreement with Chronicle governing your access to or use of any Oracle or other Service, that agreement prevails with respect to the matters it covers, unless explicitly agreed otherwise between the parties.

  1. YOUR REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

By accessing or using any Oracle, you represent and warrant to Chronicle, on a continuous basis, that:

  • you are a business entity and not a consumer, and you access and use the Oracles solely for business purposes;
  • you have full right, power and capacity to enter into and comply with this Disclaimer, and (if applicable) the natural person accepting this Disclaimer is duly authorized to bind the organization on whose behalf they act;
  • you are not, and you are not acting on behalf of, a Restricted Person (as defined in Section 6 of the Terms of Use), and your access to and use of any Oracle does not violate any sanctions or other applicable law to which you are subject;
  • all information provided by you to Chronicle in connection with your access to or use of any Oracle, including in any onboarding form, is complete, accurate and not misleading; and
  • you will promptly notify Chronicle in writing if any of the foregoing representations ceases to be accurate.
  1. DISCLAIMERS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE ORACLES AND ANY ORACLE OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". CHRONICLE AND THE PROTECTED PARTIES (AS DEFINED IN THE TERMS OF USE) DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. EVEN IF ANY COMPONENT OF THE ORACLES OR THE UNDERLYING PROTOCOL HAS BEEN TESTED, REVIEWED AND AUDITED, BUGS, DEFECTS, DOWNTIME, VULNERABILITIES, ERRORS OR UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOUR IN ORACLES AND ORACLE OUTPUT MAY STILL EXIST AND MAY AT ANY TIME NEGATIVELY AFFECT ANY USER OF THE ORACLES. THE DISCLAIMERS SET OUT IN SECTION 9 OF THE TERMS OF USE APPLY IN FULL (MUTATIS MUTANDIS) TO THE ORACLES. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:

  • ORACLES AND ORACLE OUTPUT MAY DEPEND ON THE AVAILABILITY, PERFORMANCE AND OTHER ACTIONS OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING PROVIDERS OF DATA SOURCES, WHICH CHRONICLE DOES NOT CONTROL. ORACLES MAY CONSEQUENTLY EXPERIENCE DELAYS, ERRORS, INACCURACIES, INCONSISTENCIES, OUTAGES, CHANGES OR ACCESS RESTRICTIONS FOR WHICH CHRONICLE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE. EXAMPLES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, CASES WHERE INPUT DATA TO ORACLES IS INCORRECT, INCOMPLETE, DELAYED OR OTHERWISE UNRELIABLE, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE ORACLE TO PUBLISH INCORRECT, DELAYED OR UNRELIABLE ORACLE OUTPUT. CHRONICLE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR SOURCE DATA OR ANY INCORRECT, INCOMPLETE, DELAYED OR OTHERWISE UNRELIABLE ORACLE OUTPUT DERIVED FROM IT. ORACLES MAY BE MODIFIED AT ANY TIME IN CHRONICLE'S SOLE DISCRETION.
  • YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER ANY INTEGRATION OF ANY ORACLE IS SUITABLE FOR YOUR INTENDED USE. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION, TESTING, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF ANY SYSTEM THAT YOU DECIDE TO INTEGRATE ORACLES INTO OR USE ORACLES FOR. ACTIONS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLEMENTATION OF APPROPRIATE FRESHNESS CHECKS OR HEARTBEAT MONITORING, CIRCUIT BREAKERS, FALLBACK ORACLE LOGIC, ORACLE OFFBOARDING OR WINDDOWN PROCEDURES AND ANY OTHER SAFEGUARDS TO HANDLE THE ABSENCE OF OR THE ERROR IN ORACLE OUTPUT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL CHRONICLE BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS OF YOUR OWN USERS OR COUNTERPARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF ANY ORACLE.
  • CHRONICLE DOES NOT ATTEST TO, AUDIT, CONTROL, OR GUARANTEE ANY SOURCE DATA OR ANY (COMPONENT OF) ASSETS REFERENCED IN ORACLE OUTPUTS. CHRONICLE'S USE OF TERMS (AND THEIR VARIATIONS) SUCH AS 'VERIFICATION', 'PROOF', 'VALIDATION', 'ATTESTATION', OR SIMILAR TERMINOLOGY REFERS SOLELY TO TECHNICAL CHECKS, COMPARISONS, CALCULATIONS, FORMATTING, PROCESSES, OR DISPLAY LOGIC APPLIED TO SOURCE DATA, AND NOT TO AN AUDIT, ATTESTATION, CERTIFICATION, OR GUARANTEE BY CHRONICLE OF THE SOURCE DATA OR ANY (COMPONENT OF) ASSETS REFERENCED IN ORACLE OUTPUTS. CHRONICLE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE EXISTENCE, OWNERSHIP, VALUE, QUALITY, COMPOSITION, LIQUIDITY, SUFFICIENCY, SEGREGATION, PERFORMANCE, LEGAL STATUS OR ANY SIMILAR PROPERTY OF ANY TOKEN, ASSET, RESERVE, COLLATERAL, HOLDING, LIABILITY, EXPOSURE OR OTHER ITEM REFERENCED IN ANY ORACLE OUTPUT.
  • CHRONICLE PROTOCOL OPERATES THROUGH DECENTRALIZED ARCHITECTURE USING THIRD PARTY VALIDATOR NODES. CHRONICLE DOES NOT CONTROL OR DIRECT THE ACTIONS OF INDIVIDUAL THIRD PARTY VALIDATORS AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THEIR AVAILABILITY OR ACTIONS.
  • ORACLES MAY BE OFFBOARDED AT ANY TIME IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHRONICLE OFFBOARDING POLICY, AS AVAILABLE IN THE CHRONICLE DOCUMENTATION https://docs.chroniclelabs.org.
  • BETWEEN CHRONICLE AND YOU, CHRONICLE MAY, AT ANY TIME AND IN CHRONICLE'S SOLE DISCRETION, RESTRICT OR REMOVE YOUR ACCESS TO ANY ORACLE, WHICH INCLUDES THE REMOVAL OF ANY OF YOUR WHITELISTED ONCHAIN ADDRESSES FOR ANY ORACLE. YOUR USE OF ORACLES IS NOT INTENDED, AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED, TO CREATE ANY CONTRACTUAL OR FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND CHRONICLE OTHER THAN THE LIMITED RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS SET OUT IN THIS DISCLAIMER AND, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, THE TERMS OF USE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, RELEASES AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET OUT IN SECTION 10 OF THE TERMS OF USE APPLY IN FULL TO YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE ORACLES, AND NEITHER CHRONICLE NOR ANY PROTECTED PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, ANY ORACLE; OR ANY DELAY, INACCURACY, INCOMPLETENESS, OMISSION, CORRECTION OR CHANGE IN ANY ORACLE OUTPUT; OR ANY MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION, RESTRICTION, DEPRECATION OR OFFBOARDING OF ANY ORACLE; OR ANY DECISION YOU MAKE OR ACTION YOU TAKE BASED ON ANY ORACLE OUTPUT.
