Services
3.1. From time to time, at our sole discretion, we provide you with various services, including but not limited to the following:
3.1.1. BaryonSwap: a decentralized automated liquidity pool built on the multi-chain, allowing users to exchange any tokens. Besides, BaryonSwap will also aggregate liquidity from other plentiful sources to offer users the best trading prices;
3.1.2. BaryonFarm: a service enables users to maximize gains on liquidity provider (LP) tokens with additional reward tokens provided by projects, which is a vehicle for builders to support their liquidity providers;
3.2.3. BaryonStake: a platform allows users to stake a single token to receive rewards which are compounded automatically with the staking feature.
3.1.4. Baryon Snapshot: a feature on Baryon enables multiple promotional events and competitions coming together with absolutely shining rewards both from the team and our featured partners.
3.2. Our Services are operated on a decentralized protocol which comprises certain smart contracts deployed on the multi blockchain network (“Protocols”). Baryon Network does not control or operate any version of the Protocols, therefore, we cannot and do not ensure that any transaction details that you submit via our Site and/or our Services will be confirmed and processed. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that (i) we do not have the ability to cancel or otherwise modify your transaction; (ii) the transaction details you submit may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the relevant Protocols; (iii) we do not store, send, or receive Digital Assets; and (iv) any transfer that occurs in relation to any Digital Asset occurs on the relevant Protocols and therefore we do not guarantee the transfer of title or right in any Digital Asset.
Moreover, it is acknowledged that the transactional arrangement does not involve the acquisition or disposition of Digital Assets directly from our entity. It is clarified that we do not oversee any liquidity pools within the Protocol or exercise authority over trade executions on the Protocols. When you pay fees for transactions, those fees accrue to liquidity providers for the Protocols. As a general matter, Baryon Network is not a liquidity provider into Protocols liquidity pools and liquidity providers are independent third parties.
3.3. Third Party Integrated Applications
In addition to the Services, Baryon Network may provide access to additional Services through the Site from time to time, including by integrating or providing links to Third Party Integrated Applications, including, for example, services relating to (i) “bridging” Tokens from one chain to another, (ii) providing analyses regarding Token on-chain data, trading volumes and price trendlines or (iii) offering conversions from fiat currency to Tokens or vice versa.
When you click on a link to, or access and use, Third Party Integrated Applications, though we may not warn you that you have left our Site, you are bound by the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination. These Third Party Integrated Applications are not under the control of Baryon Network and may be “open” applications for which no recourse is available. Baryon Network is not responsible or liable for any Third Party Integrated Applications. Baryon Network provides links to these Third Party Integrated Applications only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third Party Integrated Applications, or their products or services or associations. You agree to hold us harmless from any harm resulting from your transactions with such products or services. Additionally, you shall hold us harmless from any losses sustained by you or harm caused to you relating to or resulting in any way from or contact with any Third Party Integrated Applications. You use all links in Third Party Integrated Applications at your own risk, and you should be aware these Terms of Use no longer govern. You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any website to which you navigate from the Site or relating to any applications you use or install from the Site. Any transactions you make through Third Party Integrated Applications will be through other websites and from other companies, and we take no responsibility whatsoever in relation to such transactions which are exclusively between you and the applicable third party.
Use of the Services
(a) Wallet Connection
To use the Services, you must first connect a Wallet to the Site, which allows you to interact with the Protocol. Connecting a Wallet will enable the Site to communicate with the third-party software associated with such Wallet. Such third-party software shall be exclusively responsible for effecting any transactions with such Wallet. Your relationship with that non-custodial wallet provider is governed by the applicable terms of service and privacy policy and/or any other applicable terms and conditions. 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 Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Confirming Transactions
You are responsible for confirming the parameters of any transaction message before directing your Wallet to enter into a transaction. Digital Asset prices and liquidity are volatile and transaction parameters may change between the time you first select parameters and when you seek to confirm a transaction. You hereby agree that it is your sole responsibility to re-confirm all details of any potential transaction at each stage of the process through and including final confirmation of the transaction.
(c) Fees
Use of the Protocol and/or Services may require that you pay a fee, such as network fees and other charges needed to perform a transaction (“Fee”). You must ensure that you have an adequate balance in your Wallet and/or “gas” to complete transactions before initiating a transaction. The Fee for a specific transaction will be displayed to you in the Site during the initiation of a transaction and must be accepted before executing such a transaction. By using the Site or the Services, you hereby consent to such Fees being debited from either or a combination of both of the source Token or destination Token applicable to your relevant transaction at the time such transaction is processed. You acknowledge and agree that we will not be liable for any failed transactions or losses you incur due to incorrectly set transaction Fees (i.e. too low or too high) or due to insufficient funds or gas associated with your Wallet address. You further acknowledge and agree that we do not have access to your or anyone else’s transactions.
We reserve the right to change those Fees at our discretion. Fees applicable to the Services or any component of the Services, if any, shall be set forth or displayed in the Site from time to time. By using the Site or the Services, you hereby consent to such Fees being debited from either or a combination of both of the source Token or destination Token applicable to your relevant transaction at the time such transaction is processed.
(d) Taxes
The use of Services and the Sites shall be exclusive of all taxes that are applicable to, arising from, or in connection to your use of the Services or the Sites, including your receipt and holding of Tokens in any jurisdiction (any such taxes, a “Payable Tax”).
You shall be responsible for determining any Payable Tax and declaring, withholding, collecting, reporting and remitting the correct amount of Payable Tax to the appropriate tax authorities. You shall be solely liable for all losses, penalties, claims, fines, punishments, or other liabilities arising from the non-fulfilment or non-performance to any extent of any of your obligations in relation to the Payable Tax. Baryon Network shall not be responsible for, or responsible for determining, any Payable Tax attributable to you or declaring, withholding, collecting, reporting or remitting the correct amount of Payable Tax to any Governmental Authority.
(e) Rewards
In connection with your historic or current use of one or more of our Services, we may provide you certain incentives or rewards for completing certain activities, such as completing a certain number of transactions ("Rewards"). Details regarding the criteria for earning Rewards will be described within the applicable Service. Upon satisfaction of the criteria for obtaining Rewards and subject to your compliance with the associated rewards terms, these Terms, and the applicable Laws - to be determined exclusively by Baryon Network - we will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly transfer the earned Rewards to the Wallet that you designate or have connected to the applicable Service. We reserve the right to change, modify, discontinue or cancel any rewards programs at any time and without notice to you.
You acknowledge that (i) such Rewards may be issued in the same denomination as the Digital Assets, (ii) any estimates or projections of Rewards, as applicable, are not a guarantee, (iii) we will never ask for and you should never provide to us the private key for your Wallet, (iv) we are not responsible for the loss of your private key or your inability to access (A) your Wallet, or (B) any resulting Rewards that may be stored therein, and (v) you assume responsibility for ensuring we have the correct and valid address of your Wallet(s). You specifically acknowledge and understand that your Rewards may be subject to a bonding period by smart contract that may render your Rewards and/or Digital Assets unavailable and/or subject to other restrictions imposed and controlled by such smart contract.

Privacy Policy
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, and disclose information from our Services users. By submitting personal data through our Site and Services, you agree to the terms of Privacy Policy and you expressly consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
Future changes to the Site and Services
We are always working to improve the Site and Services, so our Site and Services may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Site and Services or we may introduce new features or impose limitations on certain features or restrict access to part or all the Site and Services.
Resolving Disputes; Binding Arbitration
We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Baryon Network, you agree to contact us and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim by email at [email protected]. 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 sent to the email address associated with your online account and will contain the information described above. If we can’t resolve matters within thirty (30) days after any notice is sent, either party may initiate a formal proceeding.
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Baryon Network 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. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration provision. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.
(a) No Representative Actions. You and Baryon Network agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, or our Services is personal to you and Baryon Network 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.
(b) Arbitration of Disputes. Except for claims disputes in which you or Baryon Network seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and Baryon Network waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any other dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, including claims related to privacy and data security, (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court. All Disputes shall be submitted to the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) to be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted virtually. You and Baryon Network agree that Disputes will be held in accordance with the SIAC Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“SIAC Rules”). The most recent version of the SIAC Rules is incorporated into these Terms by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the SIAC Rules or waive your opportunity to read the SIAC Rules and waive any claim that the SIAC Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
(c) The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. The arbitrator, Baryon Network, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments, and awards, including 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 doesn’t 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.
(d) Any Dispute must be filed within one year after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you and Baryon Network will not have the right to assert the claim.
(e) If any portion of this Section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section; and (3) 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 stay 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.
Governing Law
These Terms and your access to and use of the Services shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
Termination
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time in connection with any transaction as required by applicable law, any Governmental Authority, or if we in our sole and reasonable discretion determine you are violating these Terms or the terms of any third-party Services provider at our sole discretion, at any time and without notice to you. Such suspension or termination shall not constitute a breach of these Terms by Baryon Network. In accordance with its anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism, anti-fraud, and other compliance policies and practices, we may impose reasonable limitations and controls on the ability of you or any beneficiary to utilize the Services. Such limitations may include where good cause exists, rejecting transaction requests, freezing funds, or otherwise restricting you from using the Services.
You may cease to access the Site and use the Services at any time. You acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such an event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us or any third party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Upon any termination, discontinuation, or cancellation of the Services, the following Sections will survive: 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.
Severability
If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause, or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause, or provision, or any other term, clause, or provision of these Terms.
Injunctive Relief
You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to Baryon Network for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and Baryon Network shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security, or proof of damages.
Miscellaneous
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Baryon Network relating to your access to the Site and use of the Service. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Baryon Network, and Baryon Network’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. 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 reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect.
Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
