Kairos Terms of Service
Last updated: September 9, 2025
I. About Kairos
Welcome to Kairos! These terms of service, together with any documents and additional terms they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, these "Terms"), are entered into between Rocko Inc. ("Rocko," "Kairos","we," "us," and "our") and you or the company or other legal entity you represent ("you" or "your") and constitute a binding legal agreement. By accessing or using our Services (defined below), you accept and agree to be bound by and to comply with these Terms, including the mandatory arbitration provision in the Section entitled Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. That provision provides expressly that you and Rocko agree to arbitrate certain claims instead of going to court and that you will not bring class action claims against Rocko. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you have no permission to and may not access or use our Services.
Rocko is a technology company that makes certain software services accessible to users on its application ("App") which is found at https://kairosswap.com. The Kairos App enables users to (i) connect an externally-owned account or keypair-controlled account (commonly referred to as a wallet, EOA, or embedded wallet) on the Ethereum or other blockchain networks to store and transfer digital assets as well as sign transactions for their wallet(s) (collectively "Wallets"); (ii) access and interact with decentralized finance protocols (collectively, "DeFi Protocols"), including the Kairos Protocol (the "Protocol"), that exist on public blockchains such as Ethereum, Ethereum testnets (e.g., "Sepolia"), or Layer 2 networks; (iii) broadcast transactions, including for the purposes of approving, minting, transferring, swapping, interacting with DeFi Protocols, or engaging in cross-chain transactions, as well as transactions intended to make assets compatible with specific networks or DeFi Protocols (collectively, “Bridging” and “Wrapping”); and interacting with DeFi Protocols; and (iv); access additional functionality as Rocko may add to the App from time to time (collectively the "Services").
You must be able to form a legally binding contract online either on behalf of a company or as an individual. Accordingly, you represent that: (a) if you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you have the legal authority to bind the company or other legal entity to these Terms; and (b) you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you reside, whichever is older), can form a legally binding contract online, and have the full right, power and authority to enter into and to comply with the obligations under these Terms.
In addition to the foregoing, you represent and warrant that you are not a citizen or resident of a state, country, territory or other jurisdiction that is embargoed and/or sanctioned by the United States or where your use of the Services would be illegal or otherwise violate any applicable laws or regulations, including but not limited to those promulgated by the United Nations Security Council, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United States (including those prohibiting dealings with sanctioned persons identified by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons ("SDN"), or other U.S. non-SDN restricted or prohibited parties lists, and those prohibiting dealings dealings with persons organized, resident, or located in comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions), and/or any other applicable national, provincial, federal, state, municipal or local laws and regulations (each as amended from time to time). Specifically, you represent that you are not located in, organized in, or a resident of Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Russia, the Crimea region, Venezuela, or any other jurisdiction where applicable law prohibits you from accessing or using the Services; and you represent that you are not be named on the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List.
By checking the box for "Accept terms" or by accessing the App or using any or all of the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
II. Privacy Policy
Please refer to our privacy policy available at https://rocko.co/privacy for information about how we collect, use, share and otherwise process information about you.

III. Changes to Terms or Services
We may modify the Terms at any time at our sole discretion. If we do so, we'll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site, by providing you a notice through the App, or through other methods of communication which we deem reasonable. The modified Terms will be effective at the time they are posted on the Site. It's important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them because if you continue to use the Services after we have modified the Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don't agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may not use the Services. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
IV. Who May Use the Services
A. Eligibility
You may use the Services if you are 18 years or older and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.
B. Wallet Connection and Security
To use the Services, you must connect one or more compatible digital asset wallets (each, a “Wallet” and collectively, “Wallets”) to the App. When you connect your Wallet, the App may read information available onchain, such as your balances, and may request that you approve transactions through your Wallet. Rocko does not create or provide you with a custodial account, and Rocko does not have access to or control over your Wallet, your private keys, or your recovery methods.

By submitting your payment account information, you grant us the right to store and process your information with the third party payment service, which may change from time to time; you agree that we will not be responsible for any failure of the third party to adequately protect such information.

C. Network Fees and Other Third-Party Fees
In addition to the fees described above, you may also incur charges and fees from third parties for use of any third party services linked to or accessed through the Services. Additionally, you may incur charges from third parties to process transactions on blockchain networks such as the Ethereum network or any Layer 2 Networks (commonly known as gas fees). You may also incur charges from third parties through transferring digital assets from one blockchain network to another. Under no circumstances shall Rocko incur any liability of any kind to you arising from or relating to fees charged to you by such third parties linked to or accessed through the Services. FAILING TO PAY THIRD PARTY FEES MAY IMPACT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING LEADING TO LOSS OF FUNDS AND CAUSING BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTIONS TO FAIL.

VII. DeFi Protocols
The Services enable you to interact with DeFi Protocols through a native frontend software link within the App.
When using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that your interactions are with autonomous smart contracts that comprise the Protocol. The Protocol operates in a decentralized manner on public blockchain networks, and Rocko Inc. and its Affiliates (“Rocko”) do not have custody or control of your assets, nor do we execute or initiate transactions on your behalf. You retain full control of your digital assets at all times, and any interaction with the Protocol occurs directly between you and the underlying smart contracts.
Rocko provides access to the Protocol and related interfaces solely on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis for your convenience. Rocko does not warrant, endorse, or guarantee the functionality, security, availability, legality, or fitness of the Protocol or any assets, offerings, or services accessible through it (including through related third-party websites, resources, or links). By using the Services or the Protocol, you assume all risks associated with interacting with decentralized smart contracts and blockchain networks, including but not limited to the risks of software bugs, exploits, volatility, and regulatory uncertainty. Rocko will not be liable for any losses, damages, claims, or costs arising from your use of or inability to use the Protocol.
In addition to the foregoing, Rocko makes no warranties or representations, express or implied, regarding the Protocol or any third-party DeFi protocols, the parties who may own or operate them, the information contained on or through them, the suitability or legality of their products or services, the oracles they may rely on, or the assets made accessible through them. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for, and assume all risks arising from, your use of and interaction with the Protocol and any other DeFi protocols. Such protocols may involve significant risks, including, without limitation, risks of illiquidity, devaluation, lockup, bugs, exploits, regulatory actions, or total loss of assets.
Rocko and its Affiliates shall not be liable for any losses, damages, claims, or costs of any kind arising from or relating to your access to or use of the Protocol or any other DeFi protocols. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your wallet credentials and ensuring the security of your interactions with blockchain networks. YOU AGREE THAT ROCKO AND ITS AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY LOSSES OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR INTERACTION WITH OR USE OF THE PROTOCOL OR ANY DEFI PROTOCOLS.

XIV. Disclosures; Disclaimers
Rocko is a developer of software. Rocko is not a bank, financial institution, or other lender, and it does not take custody of digital assets. Rocko does not operate a digital asset exchange platform, perform cross-chain bridging services, or execute peer-to-peer transactions through DeFi protocols, and therefore has no oversight, involvement, or control with respect to your transactions, which are executed directly on public blockchains such as Ethereum, Ethereum testnets, and/or Layer 2 networks. DeFi protocols are autonomous, decentralized protocols deployed to public blockchains that operate in a disintermediated manner, and Rocko does not participate in or intermediate any such transactions. When you interact with a DeFi protocol, you are interacting directly with a smart contract that facilitates swaps, deposits, withdrawals, or other services using digital assets. During or after transactions conducted through the Services, small amounts of cryptocurrency (“dust”) may remain in your Rocko Wallets, DeFi protocols, or other wallet addresses. Rocko has no liability or responsibility to help you transfer, recover, or otherwise make use of such funds.
You are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable to your transactions, including, but not limited to, the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), the federal securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and the Bank Secrecy Act and the regulation promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN").
You understand that Rocko is not registered or licensed by the CFTC, SEC, FinCEN or any financial regulatory authority. No financial regulatory authority has reviewed or approved the use of Rocko software. This website and Rocko software do not constitute advice or a recommendation concerning any commodity, security or other asset. Rocko is not acting as a loan broker, investment adviser, or commodity trading adviser to any person.
Rocko does not own or control the underlying blockchain networks or open-source software protocols that enable DeFi protocols, including the Protocol, to function. In general, such protocols are open source and may be used, copied, modified, and distributed by anyone. Rocko is not responsible for the continued operation, security, or availability of any such protocols, and makes no guarantees regarding their functionality, security, or fitness for any particular purpose.
To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Services (and any of their content or functionality) provided by or on behalf of Rocko are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, and we expressly disclaim, and you hereby waive, any representations, conditions or warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, legal, statutory or otherwise, or arising from statute, otherwise in law, course of dealing, or usage of trade, including, without limitation, the implied or legal warranties and conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, quality or fitness for a particular purpose, title, security, availability, reliability, accuracy, quiet enjoyment and non-infringement of third party rights. Without limiting the foregoing, we do not represent or warrant that the Services (including any data relating thereto) will be uninterrupted, available at any particular time or error-free. Further, we do not warrant that errors in the Services are correctable or will be correctable.
You acknowledge that your data on our website or App may become irretrievably lost or corrupted or temporarily unavailable due to a variety of causes, and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by denial-of-service attacks, software failures, viruses or other technologically harmful materials (including those which may infect your computer equipment), protocol changes by third party providers, Internet outages, force majeure events or other disasters, scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, or other causes either within or outside our control.
You acknowledge that
The disclaimer of implied warranties contained herein may not apply if and to the extent such warranties cannot be excluded or limited under the applicable law of the jurisdiction in which you reside.

XVII. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Rocko and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.
You and Rocko agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and Rocko and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
Except for small claims disputes in which you or Rocko seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Rocko seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Rocko waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against Rocko or relating in any way to the Services, you agree to first contact Rocko and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim ("Notice") to Rocko by email at support@rocko.co or by certified mail addressed to 767 Broadway #1294, Manhattan, NY 10003. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and Rocko cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in New York City, New York, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS Rules"). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and Rocko agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 12 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual's claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
The arbitrator, Rocko, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
You and Rocko agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and Rocko will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Rocko, Rocko will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Rocko agree that the state or federal courts of the State of New York and the United States sitting in New York City, New York have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Rocko will not have the right to assert the claim.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section by emailing us at support@rocko.co. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with this Section.
If any portion of this Section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 12 or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section will be enforceable.
