These Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) explains the terms and conditions by which you may access and use https://app.uniswap.org, a website-hosted user interface (the “Interface” or “App”) provided by Uniswap Labs (“we”, “our”, or “us”). You must read this Agreement carefully as it governs your use of the Interface. By accessing or using the Interface, you signify that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Agreement in its entirety. If you do not agree, you are not authorized to access or use the Interface and should not use the Interface.
NOTICE: This Agreement contains important information, including a binding arbitration provision and a class action waiver, both of which impact your rights as to how disputes are resolved. The Interface is only available to you — and you should only access the Interface — if you agree completely with these terms.
The Interface provides access to (a) a decentralized protocol on various public blockchains, including but not limited to Ethereum, that allow users to trade certain compatible digital assets (“the Uniswap protocol” or the “Protocol”); and (b) an aggregator of various third-party non-fungible token (“NFT”) marketplaces (the “NFT Marketplace Aggregator”). The Interface is one, but not the exclusive, means of accessing the Protocol.
To access the Interface, you must use non-custodial wallet software, which allows you to interact with public blockchains. Your relationship with that non-custodial wallet provider is governed by the applicable terms of service of that third party, not this Agreement. Wallets are not operated by, maintained by, or affiliated with us, and we do not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and have no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. By connecting your wallet to our Interface, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify this Agreement from time to time. If we make any material modifications, we will notify you by updating the date at the top of the Agreement and by maintaining a current version of the Agreement at https://uniswap.org/terms-of-service. All modifications will be effective when they are posted, and your continued accessing or use of the Interface will serve as confirmation of your acceptance of those modifications. If you do not agree with any modifications to this Agreement, you must immediately stop accessing and using the Interface.
The Interface provides a web or mobile-based means of accessing (a) the Protocol and (b) the NFT Marketplace Aggregator.
The Interface is distinct from the Protocol and is one, but not the exclusive, means of accessing the Protocol. The Protocol itself has three versions, designated as v1, v2, and v3, each of which comprises open-source or source-available self-executing smart contracts that are deployed on various public blockchains, such as Ethereum. Uniswap Labs does not control or operate any version of the Protocol on any blockchain network. By using the Interface, you understand that you are not buying or selling digital assets from us and that we do not operate any liquidity pools on the Protocol or control trade execution on the Protocol. When traders pay fees for trades, those fees accrue to liquidity providers for the Protocol. As a general matter, Labs is not a liquidity provider into Protocol liquidity pools and liquidity providers are independent third parties. The Protocol was initially deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, and has since been deployed on several other blockchain networks including by parties other than Uniswap Labs. Deployments on other networks typically make use of cross-chain bridges, which allow assets native to one blockchain to be transferred to another blockchain. Please note that digital assets that have been “bridged” or “wrapped” to operate on other blockchain networks (including to blockchains compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine that are designed to ensure the Ethereum blockchain can effectively process more transactions or other blockchains that are frequently referred to as “Layer 2” solutions) are distinct from the original Ethereum mainnet asset.
The NFT Marketplace Aggregator is a series of smart contracts that allows you to discover, buy, and sell NFTs simultaneously across multiple third-party marketplaces (each a “Third-Party Marketplace”). Your use of the NFT Marketplace Aggregator is subject to the additional terms and conditions contained in the NFT Marketplace Aggregator Addendum.
To access or use the Interface, you must be able to form a legally binding contract with us. Accordingly, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (e.g., 18 years old in the United States) and have the full right, power, and authority to enter into and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement on behalf of yourself and any company or legal entity for which you may access or use the Interface.
You further represent that you are not (a) the subject of economic or trade sanctions administered or enforced by any governmental authority or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties (including but not limited to the list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury) or (b) a citizen, resident, or organized in a jurisdiction or territory that is the subject of comprehensive country-wide, territory-wide, or regional economic sanctions by the United States. Finally, you represent that your access and use of the Interface will fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and that you will not access or use the Interface to conduct, promote, or otherwise facilitate any illegal activity.
We own all intellectual property and other rights in the Interface and its contents, including (but not limited to) software, text, images, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, designs, and its “look and feel.” This intellectual property is available under the terms of our copyright licenses and our Trademark Guidelines. Unlike the Interface, versions 1-3 of the Protocol are comprised entirely of open-source or source-available software running on public blockchains.
By using the Interface to list, post, promote, or display NFTs, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and display any content, including but not limited to text, materials, images, files, communications, comments, feedback, suggestions, ideas, concepts, questions, data, or otherwise, that you post on or through the Interface for our current and future business purposes, including to provide, promote, and improve the services. This includes any digital file, art, or other material linked to or associated with any NFTs that are displayed.
You represent and warrant that you have, or have obtained, all rights, licenses, consents, permissions, power and/or authority necessary to grant the rights granted herein for any NFTs that you list, post, promote, or display on or through the Interface. You represent and warrant that such content does not contain material subject to copyright, trademark, publicity rights, or other intellectual property rights, unless you have necessary permission or are otherwise legally entitled to post the material and to grant us the license described above, and that the content does not violate any laws.
The NFT Marketplace Aggregator merely aggregates the results from Third-Party Marketplaces. These Third-Party Marketplaces are operated independently from us by unrelated third parties, and we have no control over any content, information or other materials contained within such Third-Party Marketplaces. If you believe that your copyrighted work is being displayed on a Third-Party Marketplace, has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify that Third-Party Marketplace of your infringement claim in accordance with their defined reporting procedures.
Nevertheless, despite our position as an aggregator, Uniswap Labs will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable intellectual property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement on the NFT Marketplace Aggregator. A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be submitted to the Uniswap Help Center. Please complete the form. You may also contact our Copyright Agent by mail at:
Copybyte Inc.
3157 Gentilly Blvd Suite # 2254
New Orleans, LA 70122
We encourage you to use the above form to ensure the requisite information is included in your notice. If you choose to write to us by physical mail instead, your notice must include:
If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the removed content, you may submit a written counter-notice to us or our Copyright Agent.
We reserve the following rights, which do not constitute obligations of ours: (a) with or without notice to you, to modify, substitute, eliminate or add to the Interface; (b) to review, modify, filter, disable, delete and remove any and all content and information from the Interface; and (c) to cooperate with any law enforcement, court or government investigation or order or third party requesting or directing that we disclose information or content or information that you provide.
You agree not to engage in, or attempt to engage in, any of the following categories of prohibited activity in relation to your access and use of the Interface:
We are not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a national securities exchange or in any other capacity. You understand and acknowledge that we do not broker trading orders on your behalf nor do we collect or earn fees from your trades on the Interface. We also do not facilitate the execution or settlement of your trades, which occur entirely on the public distributed on public distributed blockchains like Ethereum. As a result, we do not (and cannot) guarantee market best pricing or best execution through the Interface or when using our Auto Routing feature, which routes trades across liquidity pools on the Protocol only. Any references in the Interface to “best price” do not constitute a representation or warranty about pricing available through the Interface, on the Protocol, or elsewhere.
You agree and understand that: (a) all trades you submit through the Interface are considered unsolicited, which means that they are solely initiated by you; (b) you have not received any investment advice from us in connection with any trades, including those you place via our Auto Routing API; and (c) we do not conduct a suitability review of any trades you submit.
We may provide information about tokens in the Interface sourced from third-party data partners through features such as rarity scores, token explorer or token lists (which includes the Uniswap Labs default token list and Uniswap Labs expanded list hosted at tokenlists.org). We may also provide warning labels for certain tokens. The provision of informational materials does not make trades in those tokens solicited; we are not attempting to induce you to make any purchase as a result of information provided. All such information provided by the Interface is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice or a recommendation that a particular token is a safe or sound investment. You should not take, or refrain from taking, any action based on any information contained in the Interface. By providing token information for your convenience, we do not make any investment recommendations to you or opine on the merits of any transaction or opportunity. You alone are responsible for determining whether any investment, investment strategy or related transaction is appropriate for you based on your personal investment objectives, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance.
The Interface is a purely non-custodial application, meaning we do not ever have custody, possession, or control of your digital assets at any time. It further means you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. We accept no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and make no representations or warranties regarding how the Interface will operate with any specific wallet. Likewise, you are solely responsible for any associated wallet and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with or as a result of your wallet being compromised.
This Agreement is not intended to, and does 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 this Agreement.
The Interface may not be available or appropriate for use in your jurisdiction. By accessing or using the Interface, you agree that you are solely and entirely responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations that may apply to you.
Specifically, your use of the Interface or the Protocol may result in various tax consequences, such as income or capital gains tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax, or sales tax in certain jurisdictions.
It is your responsibility to determine whether taxes apply to any transactions you initiate or receive and, if so, to report and/or remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority.
By accessing and using the Interface, you represent that you are financially and technically sophisticated enough to understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and that you have a working knowledge of the usage and intricacies of digital assets such as ether (ETH), so-called stablecoins, and other digital tokens such as those following the Ethereum Token Standard (ERC-20).
In particular, you understand that the markets for these digital assets are nascent and highly volatile due to risk factors including (but not limited to) adoption, speculation, technology, security, and regulation. You understand that anyone can create a token, including fake versions of existing tokens and tokens that falsely claim to represent projects, and acknowledge and accept the risk that you may mistakenly trade those or other tokens. So-called stablecoins may not be as stable as they purport to be, may not be fully or adequately collateralized, and may be subject to panics and runs.
Further, you understand that smart contract transactions automatically execute and settle, and that blockchain-based transactions are irreversible when confirmed. You acknowledge and accept that the cost and speed of transacting with cryptographic and blockchain-based systems such as Ethereum are variable and may increase dramatically at any time. You further acknowledge and accept the risk of selecting to trade in Expert Modes, which can expose you to potentially significant price slippage and higher costs.
If you act as a liquidity provider to the Protocol through the Interface, you understand that your digital assets may lose some or all of their value while they are supplied to the Protocol through the Interface due to the fluctuation of prices of tokens in a trading pair or liquidity pool.
Finally, you understand that we do not create, own, or operate cross-chain bridges and we do not make any representation or warranty about the safety or soundness of any cross-chain bridge, including its use for Uniswap governance.
In summary, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for any of these variables or risks, do not own or control the Protocol, and cannot be held liable for any resulting losses that you experience while accessing or using the Interface. Accordingly, you understand and agree to assume full responsibility for all of the risks of accessing and using the Interface to interact with the Protocol.
The Interface may contain references or links to third-party resources, including (but not limited to) information, materials, products, or services, that we do not own or control. In addition, third parties may offer promotions related to your access and use of the Interface. We do not approve, monitor, endorse, warrant or assume any responsibility for any such resources or promotions. If you access any such resources or participate in any such promotions, you do so at your own risk, and you understand that this Agreement does not apply to your dealings or relationships with any third parties. You expressly relieve us of any and all liability arising from your use of any such resources or participation in any such promotions.
You expressly agree that you assume all risks in connection with your access and use of the Interface. You further expressly waive and release us from any and all liability, claims, causes of action, or damages arising from or in any way relating to your use of the Interface. If you are a California resident, you waive the benefits and protections of California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: "[a] general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."
You agree to hold harmless, release, defend, and indemnify us and our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, and subsidiaries from and against all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from: (a) your access and use of the Interface; (b) your violation of any term or condition of this Agreement, the right of any third party, or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation; and (c) any other party's access and use of the Interface with your assistance or using any device or account that you own or control.
The Interface is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Interface is at your own risk. We do not represent or warrant that access to the Interface will be continuous, uninterrupted, timely, or secure; that the information contained in the Interface will be accurate, reliable, complete, or current; or that the Interface will be free from errors, defects, viruses, or other harmful elements. No advice, information, or statement that we make should be treated as creating any warranty concerning the Interface. We do not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any advertisements, offers, or statements made by third parties concerning the Interface.
Similarly, the Protocol is provided "AS IS", at your own risk, and without warranties of any kind. Although we contributed to the initial code for the Protocol, we do not provide, own, or control the Protocol, which is run autonomously without any headcount by smart contracts deployed on various blockchains. Upgrades and modifications to the Protocol are generally managed in a community-driven way by holders of the UNI governance token. No developer or entity involved in creating the Protocol will be liable for any claims or damages whatsoever associated with your use, inability to use, or your interaction with other users of, the Protocol, including any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, or loss of profits, cryptocurrencies, tokens, or anything else of value. We do not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any advertisements, offers, or statements made by third parties concerning the Interface.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL WE OR ANY OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, OR SUBSIDIARIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE PROPERTY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY ACCESS OR USE OF THE INTERFACE, NOR WILL WE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, OR INJURY RESULTING FROM HACKING, TAMPERING, OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR USE OF THE INTERFACE OR THE INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN IT. WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY: (A) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT; (B) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM ANY ACCESS OR USE OF THE INTERFACE; (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR USE OF ANY SECURE SERVER OR DATABASE IN OUR CONTROL, OR THE USE OF ANY INFORMATION OR DATA STORED THEREIN; (D) INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF FUNCTION RELATED TO THE INTERFACE; (E) BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE THAT MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE INTERFACE; (F) ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN, OR LOSS OR DAMAGE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF, ANY CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE INTERFACE; AND (G) THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY.
We will use our best efforts to resolve any potential disputes through informal, good faith negotiations. If a potential dispute arises, you must contact us by sending an email to legal@uniswap.org so that we can attempt to resolve it without resorting to formal dispute resolution. If we aren't able to reach an informal resolution within sixty days of your email, then you and we both agree to resolve the potential dispute according to the process set forth below. Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Interface, this Agreement, or any other acts or omissions for which you may contend that we are liable, including (but not limited to) any claim or controversy as to arbitrability ("Dispute"), shall be finally and exclusively settled by arbitration under the JAMS Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures. You understand that you are required to resolve all Disputes by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be held on a confidential basis before a single arbitrator, who shall be selected pursuant to JAMS rules. The arbitration will be held in New York, New York, unless you and we both agree to hold it elsewhere. Unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate your claims with those of any other party. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You must bring any and all Disputes against us in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff in or member of any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding. This provision applies to class arbitration. You and we both agree to waive the right to demand a trial by jury.
You agree that the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, govern this Agreement and any Dispute between you and us. You further agree that the Interface shall be deemed to be based solely in the State of New York, and that although the Interface may be available in other jurisdictions, its availability does not give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction in any forum outside the State of New York. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. You agree that the federal and state courts of New York County, New York are the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for court proceedings in the event that this Agreement's binding arbitration clause is found to be unenforceable.
These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings (if any) relating to the subject matter of the terms.
This NFT Marketplace Aggregator Addendum applies to your use of the NFT Marketplace Aggregator made available by us through the Interface.
The NFT Marketplace Aggregator enables transactions involving NFTs that are listed on Third-Party Marketplaces. The listing information and pricing for NFTs is determined by the corresponding Third-Party Marketplace on which the NFT is listed. Uniswap Labs does not determine what to list or set pricing for NFTs on those Third-Party Marketplaces. You bear full responsibility for verifying the identity, legitimacy, and authenticity of NFTs that you purchase from third-party sellers using the NFT Marketplace Aggregator and we make no claims about the identity, legitimacy, functionality, or authenticity of users or NFTs (and any content associated with such NFTs) visible on the Interface. We also cannot guarantee that any NFTs visible on the Service will always remain visible and/or available to be bought, sold, or transferred.
Any payments or financial transactions that you engage in will be processed via automated smart contracts. Once executed, we have no control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse any payments or transactions. We have no liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that may arise as a result of any payments or transactions that you engage in via the NFT Marketplace Aggregator, or any other payment or transactions that you conduct via the NFT Marketplace Aggregator. Except as expressly provided for herein, we do not provide refunds for any purchases that you might make on or through the NFT Marketplace Aggregator.
Blockchain transactions require the payment of transaction fees to the appropriate network (“Gas Fees”). Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the terms of another offer by Uniswap Labs, you will be solely responsible to pay the Gas Fees for any transaction that you initiate via the NFT Marketplace Aggregator.
The NFT Marketplace Aggregator may include functionality designed to enable the purchase of all or substantially all of the NFTs in a particular collection (a “Sweep”). By executing a Sweep, we will promptly execute a batched smart contract-based transaction on your behalf to purchase the NFTs that are part of the Sweep. In the event one or more NFTs are not available at the time we execute the purchase transaction with the corresponding Third-Party Marketplace, we will refund to your wallet the pro-rata portion of the purchase price for any NFTs that were unavailable, less any Gas Fees. You agree and acknowledge that Uniswap Labs does not guarantee that a Sweep will be successful in acquiring all of the NFTs in a particular collection or that you will achieve any particular financial result or outcome or otherwise obtain any particular economic benefit by executing a Sweep.
NFTs available for purchase through the NFT Marketplace Aggregator may contain smart-contract terms that specify certain royalties which are payable to the original creator or another individual in connection with a subsequent sale of the NFT (a “Transaction Royalty”). The NFT Marketplace Aggregator does not impose any additional Transaction Royalties on NFT transactions. However, the NFT Marketplace Aggregator will pass-through any Transaction Royalties to the extent imposed by the underlying Third-Party Marketplace on which the Digital Asset is originally listed for sale.
NFTs may be subject to terms imposed by their creators with respect to the use of the NFT content and benefits associated with a given NFT. For example, when you click to get more details about any of the NFTs visible on the Interface, you may notice a third party link to the creator’s website. Such websites may include additional terms governing the use of the NFT that owners of the NFT will be required to comply with. We are not a party to any such intrinsic NFT terms, which are between creators, sellers, and buyers. The buyer and seller are entirely responsible for communicating, promulgating, agreeing to, and enforcing those terms, and you are solely responsible for reviewing such terms.
In connection with your historic or current use of the NFT Marketplace Aggregator, we may provide you certain incentives, prizes or rewards for completing certain activities, such as completing a certain number of transactions (“User Rewards”). Details regarding the criteria for earning a reward will be described within the Interface or official Uniswap Labs documentation. Upon satisfaction of the criteria for obtaining a reward and subject to your compliance with the associated rewards terms, this Agreement, and applicable law––to be determined exclusively by Uniswap Labs—we will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly transfer the earned reward to the digital wallet that you designate or have connected to the NFT Marketplace Aggregator. We reserve the right to change, modify, discontinue or cancel any rewards programs (including the frequency and criteria for earning such User Rewards), at any time and without notice to you.
By accessing and using the NFT Marketplace Aggregator, you recognize there are certain inherent risks associated with transactions involving NFTs. You agree and acknowledge:
