By accessing and/or using the Zeta website located at https://dex.zeta.markets/ (“Interface” or “Website”) in any capacity, using and/or accessing the tools and information made available via the Interface, and using and/or accessing the Protocols (as defined below), User agrees that: (i) User has read and understood these Terms; and (ii) User shall be bound by these Terms, which set forth legally binding terms and conditions between User and Zeta. We reserve the right to modify or amend these Terms in our sole discretion from time to time. The “Date Last Revised” specified on these Terms indicates the date on which the Terms were last modified. Please check these Terms periodically to ensure that you are aware of and in compliance with the most current version of these Terms. Any revision to the Terms shall take effect immediately upon such revised Terms being made accessible via the Interface. Such revised Terms shall be binding on User, and by User’s continued access and/or use of the Interface, User shall be deemed to agree to and accept the Terms as revised. Section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”.
Use of Interface and the Protocols 2.1. The Interface has been developed by Zeta to: 2.1.1. enable User to access and/or use the Protocols (as defined below) for trade of token-referenced Options (as defined below), Futures (as defined below) and Perps (as defined below. Such Options, Futures and Perps will be settled in Stablecoins (as defined herein) native to the Solana blockchain, where the general process flow and interaction between User and the Interface is as follows: 2.1.1.1. a User connects his digital wallet via a wallet extension on the Interface to deposit Stablecoins to the Protocols’ (as defined herein) smart contract which holds such User’s Stablecoins (“Zeta User Logic Contract”) which can be deployed by User as collateral for Options, Futures and Perps (“User Collateral” or “User Maintenance Margin”); 2.1.1.2. such User’s deposited Stablecoins (“Deposited Stablecoins”) will then be reflected on User’s dashboard on the Interface pending such User’s deployment for trading Options, Futures or Perps; 2.1.1.3. such User will be able to, against Deposited Stablecoins as User Collateral: a) in relation to token-referenced options offered based on the Protocols and accessed through the Interface (“Options”): i) buy a call option (“Call Option”); ii) sell a Call Option; iii) buy a put option (“Put Option”); or iv) sell a Put Option; b) in relation to token-referenced futures offered based on the Protocols and accessed through the Interface (“Futures”): i) buy Futures; or ii) sell Futures; c) in relation to token-reference perpetual futures based on the Protocols and accessed through the Interface (“Perps”): i) buy Perps; or ii) sell Perps, (collectively, “Options & Futures Trading”); and 2.1.1.4. to withdraw participation by ceasing interaction with the Protocols through the Interface, such User has to: a) close all open Options, Futures and Perps positions using the Interface; and b) execute a withdrawal of Deposited Stablecoins from the Zeta User Logic Contract to such User’s wallet from which initial Stablecoin collateral was deposited into the Zeta User Logic Contract; and 2.1.2. interact with the underlying protocols comprising Zeta User Logic Contract, a Serum-based order book matching infrastructure, and such other smart contract, logic or code which facilitate the User’s activities as described in Paragraph 2.1 above (collectively, the “Protocols”, as may be amended or updated from time to time). By accessing and/or using the Interface to interact with the Protocols, User acknowledges and accepts that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Protocols have been developed and deployed by Zeta Markets Protocol Corp (“Protocol Deployer”) and not Zeta, and as such, Zeta shall not be liable to User for the deployment and maintenance of the Protocols and/or any malfunction thereof. User further acknowledges that where references are made to the Protocols’ functions in these Terms (including Sections 2.1 and 4), such references are based on our understanding of the Protocols and are solely for reference only. Such understanding has not been verified or audited by us, and you agree not to rely on such references in your use of the Interface and/or the Protocols. Instead, you should independently verify the Protocols’ functions and obtain necessary technical advice as you may require to understand the functions and for use of the Protocols. 2.2. The Interface is hosted and maintained by us; we may, in our sole discretion, modify or discontinue support for the Interface and/or access to the Protocols at any time. 2.3. User shall be responsible for obtaining the data network access necessary to use and/or access the Interface, and for acquiring compatible hardware or device necessary to access and use the Interface and any updates thereto. 2.4. Use of the Interface and/or the Protocols may be disrupted as a result of malfunction and/or delays which are inherent to the use of the internet and electronic communications, and User agrees that Zeta shall not be responsible for any such disruption, malfunction and/or delay, and any loss which may arise therefrom. 2.5. The Website and its contents are our property or the property of our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent and other applicable laws. User is permitted to download and print content from the Website solely for such User’s own personal use to the extent required to access and use the tools and information made available via the Website. Unless with our prior written consent, the Website and its contents must not be reproduced, modified, redistributed or otherwise used for any other reason. 2.6. User shall not modify, adapt or hack the Website or modify any other website so as to falsely imply that such other website is associated with the Website and/or Zeta and/or its Affiliates (as defined below) in any way. User shall not crawl, scrape, cache or otherwise access any content from the Website via automated means, and User shall not use automated data collection, data mining, robots or any other data gathering methods of any kind on the Website. 2.7. User may, through hyperlinks displayed on the Website, gain access to websites operated by persons other than Zeta. Such hyperlinks are displayed only for User’s convenience, and we assume no responsibility for the use of any third-party software or other materials on the Website.
Access and/or use of the Interface and access to the Protocols 3.1. In order to access and/or use the Interface and its associated functions including access and/or use of the Protocols via the Interface, User will first be required to connect a Supported Wallet (as defined herein) via the Interface that is compatible with the Protocols. 3.2. User agrees and acknowledges that Zeta does not have access to, and cannot withdraw or transfer, any of User’s Supported Digital Assets that User may elect to deploy in connection with Options & Futures Trading, and that Zeta has not rendered any advice and/or made any recommendation in respect of User’s purchase, sale, or deployment of Supported Digital Assets in relation to Options & Futures Trading.
Use of Protocols for Options & Futures Trading 4.1. Settlement 4.1.1. Options User acknowledges that as at the Relevant Date, based on Zeta’s understanding of the Protocols (which are subject to amendment and updates), Options are fully settled in Stablecoin and whilst the price of a Fluctuating Token may be referenced in Options, there will be no physical delivery of such Fluctuating Token on settlement of such Options. 4.1.2. Futures User acknowledges that as at the Relevant Date, based on Zeta’s understanding of the Protocols (which are subject to amendment and updates), Futures are fully settled in Stablecoin and whilst the price of a Fluctuating Token may be referenced in Futures, there will be no physical delivery of such Fluctuating Token on settlement of such Futures. 4.1.3. Perps User acknowledges that as at the Relevant Date based on Zeta’s understanding of the Protocols (which are subject to amendment and updates), Perps are fully settled in Stablecoin and whilst the price of a Fluctuating Token may be referenced in Perps, there will be no physical delivery of such Fluctuating Token on settlement of such Perps. 4.1.4. The Options, Futures and Perps contract specifications (including but not limited to minimum contract size, expiry dates, initial margin, maintenance margin, position limit and Liquidation Threshold (as defined below)) (“Contract Specifications”) shall be as determined by the Protocols (which are subject to amendment and updates). 4.1.5. Whilst we may publish information relating to the implementation of the Protocols from our understanding of the Protocols (including the Contract Specifications) on the Website, you acknowledge and agree that you shall not rely on any such publication by us and/or our Affiliates relating to the Protocols and none of the foregoing persons shall be liable for any inaccuracy or error in relation to such publication. It shall be your responsibility (or engage a professional to assist you in doing so) to review the Protocols in order to verify the Protocols’ functions. 4.2. Portfolio Margin & Liquidation under the Protocols 4.2.1. The Protocols (deployed by Protocol Deployer) are designed to require User to maintain a minimum User Collateral at all times in order to maintain the solvency of User’s open interest in Options and/or Futures and/or Perps (“User’s Open Position”) at any point in time. 4.2.2. In the event where the User Collateral is near insufficient to support the User’s Open Position (due to the market price of Fluctuating Token falling), the Protocols are designed to allow any third party (such third party, “Liquidator”) with access to the Protocols (whether through the Interface or otherwise) to liquidate some or all of User Collateral (“Liquidation”).
4.2.3. User acknowledges and agrees that: 4.2.3.1. a Liquidator may effect Liquidation of User’s Open Position if the Liquidation thresholds determined by the Protocols (“Liquidation Thresholds”) are satisfied and User is unable to increase Deposited Stablecoins as User Collateral prior to such Liquidation; 4.2.3.2. in the event of Liquidation, User may lose all of User Collateral; and
4.2.3.3. User shall have no claim against any of Zeta, Protocol Deployer and the relevant Liquidator in respect of any Liquidation. 4.3 Fees and Liquidation in respect of the Protocols 4.3.1. Fees. Based on our understanding of the fee specification of the Protocols, as at the Relevant Date: 4.3.1.1. the following fees (“Fees”) – which shall be charged by and retained by the Protocols (and not Zeta) – shall be applicable to User in relation to Options & Futures Trading as follows:

a) 0.3% x Fluctuating Token Market Price x Underlying Amount; or b) 5% x Contract Price x Number of Contracts
In relation to an executed trade by User of Perps contract(s), means:

While Zeta has taken a number of precautions to ensure the security of the Interface, the technology constituting the Interface and/or the Protocols, and their interaction, is relatively new and it is not possible to guarantee that the code is completely free from bugs or errors. 14.6. User accepts all risks that arise from User’s access and/or use of the Interface and/or Protocols, including, and not limited to, the risk of any of User’s Supported Digital Assets being lost due to a failure or exploit of the Interface and/or Protocols. 14.7. User is solely responsible for securing the private keys associated with any Supported Wallet which User uses when accessing and/or using the Interface and/or Protocols. 14.8. User understands that anyone who obtains User’s private keys to User’s Supported Wallet and/or access to User’s device containing such private keys, may access User’s Supported Wallet controlled with those private keys with or without User’s authorisation and may transfer any Supported Digital Assets accessible through User’s Supported Wallet. 14.9. In choosing to access and/or use the Interface and/or Protocols (via the Interface), User does so on User’s own initiative and at User’s own risk, and User is responsible for complying with all applicable local laws, rules and regulations relating to User’s access and/or use of the Interface and/or Protocols. 14.10. Support for the Interface (as means to access the Protocols) may be modified or discontinued at any time in Zeta’s sole discretion. 4.11. In the event of a change in the operating rules or other features of the Protocols (“Fork”) that may result in more than one version of a network (“Forked Network”) and more than one version of a digital asset (“Forked Asset”), the Interface and/or Protocols may not support activity related to any Forked Assets. Forked Networks and the available supply of any Forked Assets are wholly outside Zeta’s control. In the event of a Fork, Zeta may temporarily suspend certain services on the Website (with or without advance notice to User) while we determine, at our sole discretion, which Forked Network(s) to support. ZETA IS UNLIKELY TO SUPPORT MOST FORKED NETWORKS AND MOST FORKED ASSETS WILL LIKELY NOT BE MADE AVAILABLE TO USER. ZETA MAY DETERMINE, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, NOT TO SUPPORT A FORKED NETWORK. USER HAS NO RIGHT, CLAIM, OR OTHER PRIVILEGE AGAINST FORKED ASSETS ON SUCH UNSUPPORTED FORKED NETWORK. ZETA MAY, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, DETERMINE OUR APPROACH TO SUCH FORKED ASSETS, WHICH MAY INCLUDE ABANDONING OR OTHERWISE ELECTING NOT TO SUPPORT SUCH FORKED ASSETS AS PART OF OUR SERVICES. 14.12. By using the Interface and accessing the Protocols, User is using the Interface and the Protocols “as is” and “as available” with no representations or warranties whatsoever. To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither Zeta nor any of its Affiliates makes any express or implied representations and warranties, including implied representations or warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement in relation to the Interface and/or the Protocols. Neither Zeta nor any of its Affiliates is responsible or liable for any error, delay or interruption in or lack of access to the Interface and/or the Protocols or for any loss of digital assets (including but not limited to Supported Digital Assets) occasioned by or attributable to the Interface and/or Protocols.
Electronic Communications with Zeta 15.1. The communications between User and Zeta shall be via electronic means, either through the Interface or electronic mail. 15.2. For contractual purposes, User: 15.2.1. consents to receive communications from Zeta in any electronic form; and 15.2.2. acknowledges and agrees that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Zeta provides to User electronically satisfy any legal requirement that would also be satisfied if such communications were to be in a hardcopy writing.
General 16.1. Entire Terms These Terms (read together with our Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between User and Zeta regarding User’s access and/use of Interface. 16.2. Severability If any provisions of these Terms are found by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, unlawful or unenforceable under any applicable law, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render these Terms unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and such provisions shall be deleted without affecting the remaining provisions herein. 16.3. Relationship of Parties Nothing contained in these Terms will be deemed to be construed as creating a partnership or an agency relationship or joint venture between User, Zeta and/or any of our Affiliates. 16.4. Assignment These Terms, and User’s rights thereunder, may not be assigned, Zeta’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Zeta may freely assign these Terms and our respective rights thereunder. 16.5. Waiver A waiver by Zeta of any right or remedy under these Terms shall only be effective if it is in writing, executed by a duly authorized representative of Zeta and shall apply only to the circumstances for which it is given. Failure of Zeta to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, nor shall it prevent any future exercise or enforcement of such right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of any such right or remedy or other rights or remedies. 16.6. No Third-Party Rights Save for Zeta’s Affiliates who shall have the rights and benefits to the extent accorded thereto under these Terms, any person who is not a Party shall have no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act (Chapter 53B) of Singapore to enforce any of these Terms. 16.7. Governing Law and Jurisdiction The agreement as shall be constituted by User’s acceptance of these Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) of such agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of Singapore. The Parties agree that any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) of these Terms shall be by arbitration, and judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets. The arbitration shall be conducted under the rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”). The arbitral tribunal shall consist of a sole arbitrator to be appointed by the President of the SIAC. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitration agreement shall be governed by Singapore law.
