Dynamo Preview Terms of Service

Last updated: November 13, 2026

These Preview Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the Dynamo preview: the hosted Dynamo service, its console, APIs, SDKs and other tools, and the websites at dynamo.zone and its subdomains (together, the "Service"). The Service is operated by the Dynamo Project ("Dynamo", "we", "us" or "our").

By requesting access, creating an account, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and "you" means that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

PLEASE READ SECTION 16 CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, WAIVES CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIALS, AND SETS A ONE-YEAR LIMIT FOR BRINGING CLAIMS. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS AS DESCRIBED THERE.

1. What the preview is

  1. Test mode only. The preview runs in test mode. No real money moves through it. Card payments run in Stripe's test mode, and stablecoin payments use test tokens on the Avalanche Fuji test network. Test money and test tokens have no value and cannot be redeemed, exchanged or withdrawn as real money.
  2. No rewards. Using the preview, holding test tokens or giving feedback does not entitle you to any token, airdrop, allocation, reward, discount, equity or other compensation, now or later.
  3. Unaudited contract. The smart contract used on the test network has not yet been audited. It is provided for testing only and will be replaced after an audit.
  4. Your own instance. Each approved user gets a dedicated hosted Dynamo instance. We create and hold the signing keys your instance uses on the test network; they control test tokens only.
  5. Preview status. The preview is an early version made available for evaluation and feedback. It may contain errors and may not work as described. We may change, add or remove features, change or reset test data, or suspend or end the preview at any time, with or without notice. Do not use the preview in production or rely on it for anything of value.
  6. Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. The Service is intended for businesses and developers acting for business purposes, not for personal, family or household use. We may decline any access request at our discretion.

2. Your account, credentials and agents

  1. You are responsible for the information you give us being accurate and for all activity under your account.
  2. Keep your access token and any other credentials secret, and treat them like a password. Anyone who holds them can act on your instance. Tell us right away at security@dynamo.zone if you believe a credential has been exposed.
  3. Keys held only by you or your agents (for example, your own wallet keys) cannot be recovered, reset or overridden by us. If you lose them, anything only they can reach is lost.
  4. Agents act for you. "You" includes any AI agent, software, bot, script or other automated system that uses your credentials, budgets or instance (each an "Agent"). Everything an Agent does through the Service, including every request, approval, payment, cancellation and output, is treated as done and authorized by you. We may rely on it without further checks. You are solely responsible for your Agents' acts and omissions.

3. How the Service behaves

  1. Refusals are by design. The Service is designed to refuse a request when a rule does not allow it: for example, when a spending cap is reached, a budget is paused or stopped, or an action is waiting for approval. Your applications should expect and handle refusals. A refusal produced by these rules is the Service working as intended, not a failure of the Service.
  2. Actions outside the Service. If you or your Agents act directly on a wallet, smart contract, payment processor or network instead of through the Service (for example, revoking an approval or cancelling a budget in your wallet), the Service may not learn of it at once and may apply a notice period of up to 10 minutes before the change takes effect in the Service. For an immediate change or cancellation, make it through the Service. We are not responsible for any payment made, work done, loss or mismatch that results from an action taken outside the Service.
  3. Your configuration. You are solely responsible for how you configure caps, budgets, approvals, payees and integrations, and for checking that every detail you enter is correct. We are not responsible for losses caused by an incorrect configuration, integration or transaction.

4. Fees

No fees are charged for the preview. Any fee shown in test mode (for example, a protocol fee on a test-network payment) is charged in test money or test tokens and has no real value. We will give you at least 30 days' notice before any fee applies to you.

5. Acceptable use

You will not, and will not allow anyone else (including your Agents) to, use the Service to:

  1. violate any law or regulation, including sanctions, export control, anti-money-laundering, consumer protection and data protection laws;
  2. pay for or facilitate illegal goods or services, fraud, scams or the exploitation of anyone, including any harmful content or service involving minors;
  3. move money for others as a business without the licenses the law requires;
  4. evade a cap, rule, approval or stop, or attack, probe, scan, overload or interfere with the Service, its infrastructure or other users;
  5. impersonate any person or organization, or misrepresent the goods or services you offer;
  6. resell, sublicense or white-label the Service without our written agreement;
  7. use test mode to simulate real payments in order to deceive anyone;
  8. send phishing or deceptive messages, including fake payment requests or payment-claim links;
  9. reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract the source code of any closed part of the Service, except to the extent the law expressly permits;
  10. access the Service by automated means other than the APIs and SDKs we provide, or scrape or copy its content or data; or
  11. use the Service or our non-public information to build, benchmark or train a competing product or service, or publish benchmark or performance results about the preview without our written consent.

You may not use the Service if you are, or act on behalf of, a person or entity subject to sanctions administered by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom or the United Nations, if you own or control a wallet address that appears on a sanctions list, or if you are located in a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions.

We may refuse, suspend or end any use that we believe violates this section, may block related wallet addresses and credentials, and may report it to the authorities. Report abuse to reportabuse@dynamo.zone.

6. Third-party services and networks

  1. The Service works with services and networks we do not own or control, including blockchain networks such as Avalanche, Stripe, wallets, payment facilitators, hosting providers and the services your Agents pay. They are governed by their own terms. We make no promise about them and are not responsible for their availability, security, fees, actions or failures.
  2. We do not control any public blockchain. Transactions on a blockchain are final once confirmed, and we cannot reverse, cancel or change them.
  3. We are not a party to any arrangement between you and the payees, payers or end users you deal with through the Service. Any dispute with them is between you and them, and we have no obligation to take part.
  4. We do not act as your agent, broker, adviser or fiduciary, and we do not hold your funds in the preview.

7. Risks you accept

You understand and accept the risks of using early software with blockchain networks and AI agents, including: bugs or exploits in software or smart contracts; network congestion, forks, reorganizations and attacks; key loss or compromise; changes in law or regulation that limit or end the Service; outputs from AI systems (including your Agents) that are wrong, incomplete or harmful; and risks we cannot foresee. You will not hold us responsible if any of these risks occurs.

8. Developer tools and open components

  1. Our SDKs and other client tools are provided to you for use with the Service. Components we publish under an open-source license are governed by that license; these Terms add only the rules for using the hosted Service.
  2. Use the narrowest credential that works, and do not embed your access token in client-side code that others can read.
  3. You are responsible for your own applications, your Agents, your end users and your own compliance, including any payments you collect from your users and any notices and consents your end users need.
  4. You may say your product "works with Dynamo" if it really does. You may not suggest that we endorse or partner with you without our written consent.

9. Data, feedback and publicity

  1. Your data. You keep all rights to the data you submit to the Service. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, process and use it to provide, secure, support and improve the Service. You represent that you have all rights and consents needed to give us that data, including any personal information about your end users.
  2. Service data. We own the data the Service generates about its own operation and use, such as performance, usage and security data, and we may use it for any lawful purpose. We may also create aggregated or de-identified data from your use of the Service that does not identify you or any person, and use and share it for any purpose, including publishing statistics.
  3. Privacy. Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal information.
  4. Feedback. If you give us feedback, ideas or suggestions about the Service ("Feedback"), you assign to us all rights in that Feedback, and we may use and share it for any purpose without obligation, attribution or payment to you. To the extent an assignment is not effective, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free and sublicensable license to use it for any purpose.
  5. Publicity. We may name you as a preview user and show your name and logo in our materials. You can ask us to stop at any time by emailing legal@dynamo.zone, and we will stop in new materials within a reasonable time.

10. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, documentation, names and logos, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for evaluating it during the preview. Except for that license, we reserve all rights. Dynamo, DynamoPay, DynamoNow and Dynamo Protocol are our trademarks.

11. Confidentiality

The preview, its non-public features, documentation and performance are our confidential information. You will not disclose them to third parties without our prior written consent, except to your employees and contractors who need to know them and are bound by confidentiality duties at least as protective as this section. This does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of yours. You may say publicly that you are using the Dynamo preview.

12. Suspension and termination

  1. You may stop using the Service at any time.
  2. We may suspend, limit or end your access, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, including for a breach of these Terms, suspected unlawful use, risk to the Service or other users, a legal or regulatory reason, or the end of the preview. We are not liable to you or anyone else for any suspension or termination.
  3. After your access ends, you may request an export of your records for 14 days. After that we delete them, except where the law requires us to keep them or we need them to resolve disputes or enforce these Terms.
  4. Sections 1.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 13 through 18 survive termination.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS A PREVIEW AND IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS, AND YOU USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ACCURATE OR ERROR-FREE, THAT ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT ANY SMART CONTRACT IS FREE OF DEFECTS, THAT ANY DOCUMENTATION OR AI-GENERATED OUTPUT IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE, OR THAT ANY DATA WILL BE PRESERVED. WE MAKE NO SERVICE-LEVEL COMMITMENT FOR THE PREVIEW. NOTHING ON THE SERVICE IS FINANCIAL, LEGAL, TAX OR INVESTMENT ADVICE.

14. Limitation of liability

In this section and sections 15 and 16, "Dynamo Parties" means the Dynamo Project, any company that operates Dynamo now or later, and their affiliates, contributors, members, directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors and suppliers.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  1. NO DYNAMO PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, TOKENS, DIGITAL ASSETS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND
  2. THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF ALL DYNAMO PARTIES TOGETHER FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (B) USD 100.

These limits apply regardless of the theory of liability and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not limit liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, such as liability for fraud, intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

15. Indemnification and release

  1. Indemnity. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Dynamo Parties from and against any claims, demands, investigations, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your applications, your Agents, your end users, your data or Feedback, any transaction you or your Agents make, or your breach of these Terms or of any law or third-party right. We may control the defense and settlement of any such claim at your expense, and you will cooperate with us. You may not settle a claim that affects a Dynamo Party without our written consent.
  2. Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release the Dynamo Parties from all claims arising out of or related to disputes with other users, payees, payers, end users or third-party services, and from losses caused by blockchain networks or by actions taken outside the Service. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code section 1542, which says: "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 waive any similar law elsewhere.

16. Disputes and arbitration

  1. Informal resolution first. Before starting any arbitration or court case, you will send a written notice describing your claim and the relief you want to legal@dynamo.zone, with your name, email and address. We will try to resolve it with you. If it is not resolved within 60 days after we receive the notice, either party may start arbitration.
  2. Binding individual arbitration. Except as stated in section 16.4, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, including its scope and enforceability, will be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The seat of arbitration is Wilmington, Delaware, and hearings may be held by video. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. The arbitrator's award must follow the limits in sections 13 and 14, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. Arbitration proceedings and awards are confidential, except as needed to enforce or challenge an award or as the law requires.
  3. No class actions, no jury. YOU AND WE MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against us by or with the help of the same counsel or coordinated group, they will be administered in batches of up to 25, one batch at a time, with one arbitrator and one set of fees per batch.
  4. Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property, confidential information or the security of the Service. Because a breach of sections 5, 10 or 11 may cause us harm that money cannot repair, we may seek such relief without posting a bond and without proving actual damages.
  5. Opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days after you first accept these Terms by emailing legal@dynamo.zone with your name, address and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved under section 16.7, and the rest of these Terms still apply.
  6. Time limit. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service must be filed within one year after it arose, or it is permanently barred.
  7. Courts and governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and each party consents to their personal jurisdiction. Nothing in this section limits any rights you have under mandatory law that cannot be waived by agreement.
  8. Severability. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim will proceed in court under section 16.7 and not in arbitration, and the rest of this section stays in effect. A change to this section does not apply to a claim that arose before the change.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms at any time. We will give notice by updating the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, by email or through the Service. Changes take effect when posted unless the notice says otherwise. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.

18. General

  1. Electronic communications. You agree to receive notices, agreements and other communications from us electronically, by email to the address on your account or through the Service. They satisfy any requirement that communications be in writing.
  2. Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the preview and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.
  3. Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, including by change of control, without our written consent. We may assign or transfer them, in whole or in part, without your consent, including to the company that will operate Dynamo once it is formed or to any successor.
  4. Severability and waiver. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in effect. Our failure or delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver.
  5. Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including failures of blockchain networks, payment processors, hosting providers or the internet, attacks, and government action.
  6. Export. You will comply with all export control and sanctions laws that apply to your use of the Service.
  7. No third-party beneficiaries. Except for the Dynamo Parties, no one else has rights under these Terms.
  8. Notices. We may send you notices by email to the address on your account. Legal notices to us go to legal@dynamo.zone.
