## 1. Not Financial Advice

Nothing on the LiquidLottery website, dApp, or associated documentation constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All content is provided for informational purposes only.

## 2. Decentralised Protocol

LiquidLottery is a set of **autonomous, open-source smart contracts** deployed on a public blockchain. There is no company, corporation, legal entity, or centralised operator behind the Protocol. The developers have published open-source code under an open-source licence, but they do not operate a service in the traditional sense, do not custody user funds, and have no ability to influence, pause, modify, or reverse Protocol outcomes.

The website at **liquidlottery.app** is an optional convenience interface that allows users to interact with the publicly deployed smart contracts. Anyone may interact with the Protocol directly via the blockchain without using this interface. The frontend does not constitute the Protocol itself — the Protocol is the on-chain smart contract code, which exists independently of any website or interface.

There is no "operator" that can be held responsible for Protocol outcomes. Smart contract execution is deterministic and governed solely by the deployed code. Randomness is provided by Chainlink VRF, an independent third-party decentralised oracle network.

## 3. No Guarantee of Returns

Participating in LiquidLottery involves risk. You may lose the entire amount you spend on tickets. Past rounds are not indicative of future results. There is no guarantee that you will win any prize.

## 4. Lottery Nature

LiquidLottery is a game of chance. Outcomes are determined by cryptographically verifiable randomness provided by Chainlink VRF. The developers have no influence over which numbers are drawn.

## 5. Smart Contract Risk

Despite automated testing, peer review, and timelocked admin controls, smart contracts may contain undiscovered bugs or vulnerabilities. You interact with the Protocol at your own risk.

## 6. Regulatory Risk

The legal status of blockchain-based lottery or gambling applications varies significantly across jurisdictions. **You bear sole and exclusive responsibility** for determining whether your use of the Protocol — including accessing the frontend or interacting with the smart contracts directly — complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules in your jurisdiction. The developers do not provide legal advice and make no representations as to the legality of the Protocol in any particular jurisdiction. **If you are in any doubt, do not use the Protocol.**

## 7. No Affiliation

LiquidLottery is an independent open-source project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Hyperliquid, Chainlink, or any other mentioned project or brand.

## 8. Limitation of Liability

The developers of LiquidLottery disclaim all liability for any losses or damages — direct or indirect — arising from the use of the Protocol, including but not limited to: smart contract bugs, network outages, key loss, or regulatory action.
