# Tonigma Terms of Service Last updated: June 16, 2026 ## 1. Definitions For purposes of these Terms: - **Terms** means these Terms of Service. - **Service** means Tonigma, the Private-State DApp, related Bridge workflows, official software, official interfaces, official documentation, and related materials made available by the Provider. - **Tonigma** means the branded user-facing name for Tokamak Private App Channels. - **Channel** means an opt-in Tonigma application environment with its own policy, membership rules, accounting records, and Private Note records. - **Join Toll** means a Channel entry charge paid when a user joins a Channel. - **Ethereum mainnet** means the public Ethereum network. - **TON** means the token used with relevant Service workflows. These Terms do not state that TON itself becomes private, anonymous, or untraceable. - **Ethereum Account** means the user's externally controlled Ethereum wallet account. - **Self-Custody** means that the user, not the Provider or Provider Parties, controls wallet access, keys, secret material, and transaction decisions. - **Private Note** means a Channel-local private application record. A Private Note is not a separate asset that an exchange can receive as a deposit. - **Bridge** means the Ethereum mainnet smart-contract path through which public deposits, withdrawals, and related accounting updates are recorded. - **Provider** means Jehyuk Jang, the individual who officially makes the Service available. The Provider's public privacy and notice contact is `cjhyuck213@gmail.com`. The Provider's stated jurisdiction is Singapore. - **Provider Parties** means the Provider and the Provider's affiliates, contractors, agents, service providers, and authorized representatives, to the extent each acts within an authorized Service-related role. - **Third-Party Services** means wallets, RPC providers, exchanges, explorers, analytics providers, browsers, software distribution services, operating systems, cloud services, and other services not controlled by Provider Parties. - **Privacy Notice** means the Provider's published privacy notice for the Service. ## 2. Service Scope And Product Boundary These Terms govern access to and use of the Service. Tonigma is an opt-in private application-channel system used from a Self-Custody Ethereum Account. A Channel is not an exchange deposit or withdrawal network. A Private Note is not an exchange-depositable asset. Tonigma does not alter TON transfer rules on Ethereum mainnet. Provider Parties do not provide exchange deposit services, exchange withdrawal services, brokerage, custodial wallet services, hosted transfer services, asset recovery services, compliance services, or tax services. The Service is made available as open software and public-good infrastructure. Provider Parties do not operate the Service as a fee-generating custodial, brokerage, exchange, hosted transfer, or paid asset-management service. Join Tolls paid through the Service must not be monetized by Provider Parties. Channel policy and official on-chain records control any Join Toll refund or non-refund treatment. Any non-refunded Join Toll portion is not Provider Party revenue. Nothing in these Terms is a determination of the regulatory status of any person, entity, software, transaction, network, token, or service under applicable law. ## 3. Acceptance And Eligibility These Terms become effective for a user when the user accepts them through an official Service interface or another acceptance method provided by the Provider. If the user does not accept these Terms, the user must not access, install, or use the Service. The user represents that the user has legal capacity to accept these Terms and to operate a self-custody wallet. If the user acts for an organization, the user represents that the user has authority to bind that organization. The user represents that use of the Service is not prohibited by laws applicable to the user. ## 4. Public Ethereum Mainnet Records Ethereum mainnet transactions are public by design. Bridge deposits, Bridge withdrawals, Channel joins, registrations, accounting updates, gas-paying accounts, transaction submitters, transaction hashes, token amounts, timing, and related public records may be visible on Ethereum mainnet or through services that index Ethereum mainnet. The Service must not be used or described as a way to hide exchange-facing TON transfer records. ## 5. Private Application-State Limits Tonigma is designed so public contract state does not, by itself, reconstruct some internal Private Note sender-recipient relationships, Private Note plaintext, or Private Note provenance by default. Tonigma does not make all user activity secret. Public records, metadata, timing, amounts, user behavior, Third-Party Services, wallet software, browser behavior, user disclosure, or compromised devices may reveal information. No privacy, anonymity, unlinkability, confidentiality, exchange acceptance, compliance result, legal result, tax result, regulatory outcome, or third-party acceptance of the user's explanation of asset history is guaranteed. ## 6. Self-Custody, Secrets, And No Recovery Method The Service is designed for Self-Custody use. Provider Parties do not possess, control, store, or recover the user's Ethereum private keys, seed phrases, wallet secrets, spending keys, viewing keys, source files, backup files, or Private Note plaintext. The user is solely responsible for securing the user's devices, wallet software, files, backups, passwords, private keys, seed phrases, wallet secrets, spending keys, viewing keys, and equivalent secret material. If all required copies of a private key, seed phrase, wallet secret, spending key, viewing key, source file, backup file, or other required recovery material are lost, no recovery method exists for the affected access, Private Notes, funds, evidence, or disclosure capability. Provider Parties, support channels, websites, automated tools, and third parties do not need the user's private keys, seed phrases, wallet secrets, spending keys, viewing keys, or equivalent secrets to provide ordinary Service access, support, explanations, or guidance. The user must not share private keys, seed phrases, wallet secrets, spending keys, viewing keys, or equivalent secrets with any automated tool, Provider Party, support channel, website, or third party. ## 7. Prohibited Use The user must not use the Service for money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, regulatory evasion, illegal gambling, fraud, theft, ransomware, market manipulation, tax evasion, criminal-proceeds concealment, exchange-monitoring evasion, unauthorized access, cybersecurity abuse, harassment, threats, abuse of any person, infringement of intellectual-property, publicity, privacy, or data-protection rights, or any activity prohibited by applicable law. The user must not attempt to use Tonigma to make an unlawful transaction appear lawful or to conceal the source, ownership, control, or destination of assets. ## 8. User Responsibilities The user is solely responsible for determining whether the user's use of the Service is lawful. The user is solely responsible for wallet selection, network selection, RPC selection, Channel selection, transaction parameters, amounts, recipients, note selection, fees, failed transactions, wrong-network use, wrong-address use, and irreversible confirmed transactions. The user is solely responsible for preserving source files, wallet-secret files, backup files, evidence files, transaction records, and disclosure material that the user may later need. The user must review applicable Channel policy before joining a Channel and must use only trustworthy software, package sources, websites, wallets, RPC providers, and devices. ## 9. Channel Policy Joining a Channel means accepting that Channel's policy. Channel policy may include Join Tolls, refund rules, administrative roles, monitoring practices, fee rules, availability practices, or other operating rules. Channel operators or service operators may publish public information, but they do not control the user's Ethereum Account or user secrets and do not guarantee recovery of lost user secrets, lost Private Notes, lost evidence, failed transactions, Third-Party Service failures, or rejected exchange deposits. ## 10. Public Monitoring And Evidence Public blockchain records and public Channel records may be monitored by users, exchanges, analytics providers, regulators, Channel operators, service operators, and other observers. Public observer or indexing services may be delayed, incomplete, unavailable, misconfigured, inconsistent with a user's local state, or insufficient for legal, accounting, tax, exchange, audit, or compliance review. The user may need to preserve local evidence to explain asset history, transaction history, Private Note ownership, or facts the user chooses to prove. Selective disclosure depends on Service features and on records preserved by the user. ## 11. Third-Party Services The Service may require or interact with Third-Party Services. Provider Parties do not control Third-Party Services and are not responsible for their security, availability, correctness, fees, privacy practices, data retention, terms, sanctions screening, account restrictions, transaction policies, or failures. The user is responsible for reviewing and complying with Third-Party Service terms. ## 12. Privacy And Data Public blockchain records are public and may be copied, indexed, analyzed, or retained by any person. Provider Parties may operate official interfaces that process logs, device information, network information, usage data, contact information, or other data. Provider Parties process certain data through official interfaces as described in the Privacy Notice. The current Privacy Notice is published at [Tonigma Privacy Notice](https://github.com/tokamak-network/Tokamak-zk-EVM-contracts/blob/main/docs/dapps/private-state/privacy-notice.md). Third-Party Services may collect or process user data under their own terms and privacy policies. ## 13. No Professional Advice Provider Parties do not provide legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, trading, compliance, sanctions, or regulatory advice through the Service. Information provided through the Service is for operational and informational purposes only. Automated tools selected, configured, or used by the user are not agents, representatives, service providers, or support providers of Provider Parties unless an official Service document expressly says otherwise. Provider Parties do not control and are not responsible for automated tools selected, configured, or used by the user. The user is responsible for reviewing any recommendation, explanation, or action proposed by an automated tool. The user should consult qualified professionals before making legal, tax, accounting, financial, compliance, sanctions, or regulatory decisions. ## 14. Risk Disclosures Public blockchain systems, smart contracts, bridges, privacy-preserving cryptographic software, wallets, and RPC providers involve significant operational, technical, security, market, regulatory, and legal risks. Transactions recorded on Ethereum mainnet may be irreversible. Software bugs, user mistakes, compromised devices, malicious third parties, governance actions, protocol upgrades, network congestion, RPC failure, Bridge failure, smart-contract failure, cryptographic implementation defects, or changes in law may cause loss, delay, rejected transactions, unavailable services, or loss of access. Digital assets may be volatile and may lose value. The user assumes all risks permitted by applicable law. ## 15. No Warranties The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. No Provider Party warrants that the software or services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, accurate, complete, compatible, available in any jurisdiction, accepted by any exchange, or suitable for any particular purpose. No Provider Party warrants any token value, transaction result, privacy result, legal result, regulatory result, compliance result, tax result, accounting result, third-party acceptance of the user's asset-history explanation, or selective-disclosure result. ## 16. Limitation Of Liability The Service is non-custodial open software and public-good infrastructure, and is not operated for Provider Party Service revenue. The user accesses and uses the Service at the user's own risk to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Provider Parties are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Provider Parties are not liable for lost profits, loss of data, lost secrets, failed transactions, wrong transactions, loss of access, loss of assets, loss of evidence, business interruption, Third-Party Service failures, exchange actions, regulatory actions, tax consequences, user error, device compromise, or unauthorized access. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Provider Parties are not liable for the user's access to, use of, inability to use, or reliance on the Service. Join Tolls are not Provider Party revenue. Non-refunded Join Toll amounts do not create a custodial, refund, credit, account-balance, or revenue-sharing relationship between the user and Provider Parties. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death, or personal injury where such exclusion or limitation is not permitted. ## 17. User Indemnity To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the user must indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Provider Parties from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, costs, and expenses arising from the user's breach of the Terms, unlawful use, misuse, violation of third-party rights, interaction with Third-Party Services, or use of the Service on behalf of another person or organization. ## 18. Changes To Terms And Renewed Acceptance Provider Parties may update these Terms. If the current Terms differ from the Terms previously accepted by the user, the user must accept the current Terms before continuing to use terms-gated Service operations. Renewed acceptance may be collected only after the current Terms are displayed to the user. The Service may store acceptance metadata needed to verify whether the user accepted the current Terms. If no current acceptance record exists, or if the stored acceptance record is stale, the Service may reject terms-gated operations until the current Terms are displayed and the user submits the required acceptance. The user must not rely on automated output or an automated tool to accept changed Terms on the user's behalf. ## 19. Suspension, Discontinuation, And Software Changes Provider Parties may modify, suspend, discontinue, or stop supporting software, documentation, official interfaces, or related services. Open-source smart contracts and public blockchain records may continue to exist independently of any supported interface. Provider Parties cannot reverse public Ethereum mainnet transactions or recover user secrets. ## 20. Governing Law, Venue, Dispute Resolution, And Notices These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Subject to non-waivable rights under applicable law, disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the courts located in Singapore. These Terms do not require arbitration and do not include a class-action waiver, collective-action waiver, representative-action waiver, or jury-trial waiver. Provider Parties may provide notices through official Service interfaces, official websites, release notes, email, or other contact methods stated in these Terms. These Terms do not limit any non-waivable consumer rights or mandatory local-law rights that apply in the user's jurisdiction.
