7. NON-CUSTODIAL NATURE OF SERVICES
Ringo is a non-custodial platform. This means:
(a) Private Key Security: Ringo does not have access to, ability to store, or ability to otherwise manage your private keys. Private keys are generated and managed by you via your Third-Party wallet and are subject to your agreement with them. Due to your third-party wallet integration, it is possible that the integration may fail and you will not have access to your third-party wallet. We are not responsible for any loss that may occur due to such integration failure.
(b) Account Security: You are solely responsible for safeguarding your account information, including your private keys. Please notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access or use of your account. We will not be liable for any loss resulting from your failure to protect your account information.
(c) No Intermediary: Ringo is not an intermediary between you and any other third party, and use of Ringo involves your own direct interaction with the applicable blockchain technology at your own risk and discretion.
(d) No Asset Custody: Ringo does not take custody of your digital assets. All assets are held in wallets you control directly through your third-party wallet’s infrastructure.
(e) Direct Blockchain Interaction: Transactions (e.g., swaps, transfers) are executed directly from your wallet without Ringo acting as an intermediary. You authorize transactions, and they are broadcast to the blockchain through your wallet’s private key. At no time does Ringo have custody of your funds.
8. BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTIONS
(a) Direct Execution: All transactions are initiated and signed by your wallet. Ringo facilitates interaction with blockchain protocols but does not intermediate or control transactions.
(b) Transparency: Transactions are recorded on public blockchains and are irrevocable and irreversible. You acknowledge that Ringo cannot reverse, cancel, or modify transactions once broadcast. You must carefully verify all instructions to Ringo before submitting them.
(c) Risk Acknowledgment: YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY CARRIES INHERENT RISKS—INCLUDING VOLATILITY, POTENTIAL LOSS OF FUNDS, AND NETWORK DELAYS—AND YOU AGREE THAT RINGO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM THESE RISKS.
(d) Irreversibility of Transactions: Blockchain transactions are final once confirmed. Ringo has no ability to reverse or cancel any transaction once submitted.
(e) Network Compatibility: Stablecoins may operate on multiple blockchain networks (e.g., Ethereum ERC-20, BNB Chain BEP-20, Polygon, etc.). You are solely responsible for ensuring that the selected transfer network matches the receiving platform or wallet.
(f) Ringo operates USDC on Polygon Network: Sending USDC - or any unsupported token - over the wrong network could result in a permanent loss of funds. Always verify that you're using the correct network before making a transfer.
(g) Risk of Permanent Loss: If you send stablecoins to an unsupported or incompatible network, the assets may become permanently irretrievable. Ringo bears no obligation to attempt recovery and makes no guarantee that recovery will be possible.
(h) Limitation of Liability: By proceeding with a transfer, you agree that Ringo, its affiliates, officers, directors, and employees shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from the loss of funds due to incorrect network selection or incompatible addresses.
(i) User Acknowledgment: You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to verify the correct wallet address and compatible blockchain network prior to initiating a transfer; perform test transactions when transferring significant amounts; and bear full responsibility for any losses caused by user error, including but not limited to network mismatches.
If you believe you've sent USDC to the wrong network, please contact us at support@joinringo.xyz and include your transaction ID along with your X (Twitter) username.
9. USER CONTROL AND TRANSPARENCY
(a) Self-Custody: You retain full ownership and control of your digital assets subject to your relationship with your third-party wallet provider. Ringo cannot freeze, seize, or restrict access to the assets in your wallet.
(b) No Intermediary Peer-to-Peer Transactions: Ringo does not hold, transmit, or settle assets. Transactions are peer-to-peer via blockchain protocols at your own discretion and direction and risk.
(c) Transaction Instructions. You are responsible for providing correct and complete instructions for any blockchain transaction. Ringo will execute transactions as instructed, but we are not liable for any errors or losses resulting from inaccurate or incomplete instructions. Ringo is not responsible for verifying the accuracy or completeness of any instructions.
10. NO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Nothing in the Services or Service Content is intended to constitute financial, legal, investment, tax, or other professional advice, nor is it intended to be a substitute for professional judgment. All information provided by the Services is for entertainment and informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional advice. You should not take, or refrain from taking, any action based on any information contained in the Services. Before you make any financial, legal, or other decisions involving the Services, you should seek independent professional advice from an individual who is licensed and qualified in the area for which such advice would be appropriate.
11. NO FIDUCIARY DUTIES
These Terms are not intended to, and do not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that we owe no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party, and that to the extent any such duties or liabilities may exist at law or in equity, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and eliminated. You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we owe you are those set out expressly in these Terms.
12. BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTION LIABILITY RELEASE
We are not a party to any transaction or other interaction occurring on the underlying blockchain protocols. If you have a dispute with any transaction counterparty, you agree to address such dispute directly with such counterparty. If permitted in your jurisdiction, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, investors, subsidiaries, employees, and advisors) (collectively “Releasees”) from, and covenant not to sue Releasees for any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) of any kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute.
13. REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE SUSPENSIONS OR TERMINATIONS
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time as required by applicable law, any governmental authority, or if we in our sole discretion determine you are violating these Terms or the spirit of these Terms or the terms of any third-party service provider. Such suspension or termination shall not constitute a breach of these Terms by us.
14. OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF ASSETS
The Services are purely non-custodial, meaning you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold via your third-party wallet provider. Title to your digital assets shall at all times remain with you and shall not transfer to us. As the owner of your own cryptocurrency/stablecoins, you shall bear all risk related to the digital assets in your wallet(s). We will have no liability for value fluctuations of digital assets, that may occur.
15. BLOCKCHAIN AND THIRD-PARTY RISK
You acknowledge that the use of blockchain technology and third-party services involves risks outside of our control. Ringo disclaims any liability for losses resulting from such risks.
Where the Services rely on or interact with third-party services, APIs, or protocols (including decentralized exchanges, custodians, or data providers), you acknowledge that these are not controlled by Ringo and may be subject to their own risks and terms. Ringo shall not be liable for any loss or damages resulting from the unavailability, malfunction, or breach of any such third-party service.
16. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

20. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
All matters relating to the Services and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).
Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the state courts of the State of California in each case located in Santa Clara County, California although we retain the right to bring any suit, action or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION & MANDATORY ARBITRATION
(a) We each agree to first contact each other with any disputes and provide a written description of the problem, all relevant documents/information, and the proposed resolution. You agree to contact us with disputes by contacting us at Ringo Labs, Inc. & Subsidiaries, 127 NW 27th Street, Suite 701, Miami FL 33127. We will contact you based on the contact information you have provided us.
(b) If, after thirty (30) days and after good faith effort, the parties are unable to resolve any dispute raised under the previous provision, the dispute may only be submitted to arbitration consistent with this section. The parties understand that they would have had a right or opportunity to litigate disputes through a court and to have a judge or jury decide their case, but they instead choose to have any disputes resolved through arbitration.
(c) We each agree that any claim or dispute between us, and any claim by either of us against any agent, employee, successor, or assign of the other, including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, third parties who are not signatories to this agreement, whether related to this agreement or otherwise, including past, present, and future claims and disputes and including any dispute as to the validity or applicability of this arbitration clause, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS under its rules and procedures in effect when the claim is filed. The rules and procedures and other information, including information on fees, may be obtained from JAMS directly. The arbitration shall take place at a location mutually agreed to by the parties or, if no such agreement is reached, as determined by JAMS.
(d) We are entering into this arbitration agreement in connection with a transaction involving interstate commerce. Accordingly, this arbitration agreement and any proceedings thereunder shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. Any award by the arbitrator(s) may be entered as a judgment in any court having jurisdiction.
(e) Either of us may bring qualifying claims in small claims court. Furthermore, as set forth below, we each agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and us, not as part of a class-wide claim (i.e., not brought on behalf of or together with another individual's claim). If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the class-wide dispute must be brought in court.
22. NO CLASS ACTIONS
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASS-WIDE BASIS THAT IS, EITHER TO JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE, IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.
23. NO TRIAL BY JURY
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.
24. LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
25. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Waiver. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import.
(b) Severability. Except where specifically stated otherwise, if any part of these Terms of Use is unlawful or unenforceable for any reason, we both agree that only that part of the Terms of Use shall be stricken and that the remaining terms in the Terms of Use shall not be affected. So, for example, if a provision in these terms is found to be unenforceable, we agree an arbitrator (or, if permitted, a court) shall only strike that provision and that the remaining terms of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect.
(c) Entire Agreement. The Terms and our Privacy Policy and any Additional Terms incorporated by reference constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Ringo with respect to the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Services.
(d) No Assignment. You may not assign these Terms of Use or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Any such purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent will be null and void and of no force and effect. We may assign these Terms of Use or any rights hereunder without your consent and without notice.
