1. Experimental Software

DarkSight is experimental software in pre-alpha development. The Protocol, including all smart contracts, zero-knowledge circuits, SDK components, and related software, is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranties or guarantees of any kind.

The Protocol has not been audited by third-party security firms. Zero-knowledge circuits have not undergone formal verification. The trusted setup ceremony has not been performed. Known and unknown bugs, vulnerabilities, or design flaws may exist that could result in loss of funds or other damages.

DO NOT USE THE PROTOCOL WITH FUNDS YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE. The Protocol is not suitable for production use and should not be relied upon for any critical or valuable transactions.

2. Not Financial Advice

DarkSight is not a financial institution, investment advisor, broker-dealer, or exchange. Nothing on our website, in our documentation, or provided through our services constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.

The information provided by DarkSight is for informational and educational purposes only. You should not construe any information provided as a solicitation, recommendation, endorsement, or offer to buy or sell any securities, commodities, or financial instruments.

You are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks associated with using the Protocol and for making your own independent decisions regarding any transactions or activities. You should consult with qualified financial, legal, and tax professionals before making any decisions.

3. No Investment Vehicle

DarkSight is not an investment vehicle. The Protocol does not represent, constitute, or involve any form of investment, security, or financial instrument. DarkSight does not offer, sell, or promote any investment products or services.

Any tokens, cryptocurrencies, or digital assets used with the Protocol are not securities and do not represent ownership, equity, or any financial interest in DarkSight or any other entity. The Protocol is infrastructure software, not an investment opportunity.

4. No Promises or Guarantees

DarkSight makes no promises, guarantees, or warranties regarding:

• The continued operation, availability, or functionality of the Protocol
• The accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information provided
• The security, privacy, or performance of the Protocol or any underlying blockchain technology
• The success, profitability, or value of any positions or transactions
• The completion of any development milestones, features, or roadmap items
• The timing or occurrence of any future releases, updates, or improvements
• The achievement of any stated goals, objectives, or outcomes

The Protocol may be discontinued, modified, or terminated at any time without notice. We are under no obligation to continue developing, maintaining, or supporting the Protocol or any related services.

5. High Risk of Loss

Participation in prediction markets involves substantial risk of loss. You should not participate in prediction markets unless you fully understand the risks involved and can afford to lose your entire investment.

Risks include, but are not limited to:

• Total Loss of Funds: You may lose all funds deposited into or used with the Protocol
• Smart Contract Risks: Bugs, vulnerabilities, or exploits in smart contracts may result in loss of funds
• Cryptographic Risks: Advances in cryptography or computing may compromise privacy or security
• Market Risks: The value of positions can fluctuate significantly and may become worthless
• Liquidity Risks: You may not be able to exit positions when desired or at favorable prices
• Regulatory Risks: Changes in laws or regulations may affect the legality or operation of the Protocol
• Technology Risks: Failures of blockchain networks, infrastructure, or software may result in loss of funds
• Operational Risks: Errors, mistakes, or negligence may result in loss of funds

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The value of positions in prediction markets can go to zero.

6. Regulatory Compliance

You are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The legal status of prediction markets, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technology varies by jurisdiction and may be uncertain or subject to change.

You must ensure that your use of the Protocol complies with:

• Securities laws and regulations
• Gambling and gaming laws
• Anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements
• Tax laws and reporting obligations
• Export control and sanctions laws
• Any other applicable laws or regulations in your jurisdiction

DarkSight does not provide legal, tax, or regulatory advice. The Protocol may not be available or legal in all jurisdictions. We reserve the right to restrict or prohibit access to the Protocol in certain jurisdictions at our sole discretion.

You should consult with qualified legal and tax professionals in your jurisdiction before using the Protocol.

7. No Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DARKSIGHT AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

This limitation of liability applies regardless of the theory of liability, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, even if DarkSight has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

8. No Warranties

THE PROTOCOL IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DarkSight disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to:

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from DarkSight or through the Protocol shall create any warranty not expressly stated in this disclaimer.

9. Privacy Limitations

While the DarkSight Protocol is designed to preserve privacy of trading positions and strategies through cryptographic techniques, complete anonymity cannot be guaranteed.

Privacy limitations include:

• Blockchain transactions are inherently public and permanent
• Wallet addresses and transaction metadata may be visible on the blockchain
• Sophisticated analysis techniques may potentially be used to infer information
• The Protocol is in pre-alpha development and privacy guarantees have not been formally verified
• Cryptographic techniques may be compromised by advances in technology

You should not assume complete anonymity when using the Protocol and should take additional precautions to protect your privacy.

10. Third-Party Services

The Protocol may integrate with or rely on third-party services, including blockchain networks, infrastructure providers, and other services. DarkSight is not responsible for the availability, functionality, security, or privacy of any third-party services.

Your use of third-party services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. DarkSight disclaims all liability for any damages arising from your use of third-party services.

11. Forward-Looking Statements

Any statements made by DarkSight regarding future plans, features, developments, or outcomes are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements.

DarkSight makes no representation or warranty that any forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.
