Please read this declaration (Declaration) of Association Enso (Website Provider) carefully. By using or accessing www.enso.finance including all subdomains as well as connected mobile and web applications (Website) you confirm for yourself or any legal entity, partnership or organization you are legally representing to (i) be 18 years of age or older; and (ii) having read, understood and accepted the content of this Declaration.

Wallet for Using the Website

You must have access to a compatible wallet for crypto assets supporting ERC20 tokens (Wallet) provided from a third-party provider (i.e. not from the Website or the Website Provider) in order to access/use the Website and the software tools developed and provided by the Website Provider.

It is in your exclusive responsibility to hold and administer any crypto assets in general and in connection with Enso Shortcuts through your Wallet. The Website and the Website Provider shall have no access to or responsibility regarding your Wallet or any crypto assets held in your Wallet. You must choose the third-party wallet provider and the Wallet solely by yourself and the use of such Wallet is subject to any governing terms of use or privacy policy of such Wallet and third-party wallet provider.

The Website supports only specific Wallets and crypto assets in the sole discretion of the Website Provider. The Website Provider is under no obligation to add support for additional Wallets or crypto assets. The Website and the Website Provider will not create a (hosted) Wallet for you or otherwise custody or store crypto assets on your behalf. However, in order to interact with Enso Interface on the Website, the User creates themselves an Enso Smart Wallet.

It is your sole responsibility to maintain the security of and access to your Wallet. In the event that you lose access to your Wallet, a private key, password, or other method of securing your Wallet, any funds may be irretrievable, and the Website Provider will be unable to assist you in any way. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against the Website Provider, its affiliates and their respective shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives related to your use of any Wallet software, associated loss of funds, transaction failures, or any other defects that arise in the course of your use of your Wallet, including any losses that may be obtained as a result of any failure in smart contracts made available on the Website.

Using the Website

You must not open/register an account on the Website or with the Website Provider, but you are required to have a Wallet and to create an Enso Smart Wallet: Solely by connecting your own Wallet and creating an Enso Smart Wallet, you can interact with the protocol developed by Enso based on the Ethereum blockchain and operated by various decentralized nodes (Blockchain) to bundle and execute several blockchain-based transactions at once by creating a chain of interlinked steps (Steps), bundling several blockchain interactions together for any Ethereum-compatible chain (one an Enso Shortcut, several Enso Shortcuts). Enso Shortcuts can be dynamic in the sense that they aim at suggesting the most optimal route for every execution of all Steps of the Enso Shortcut. However, the Website Provider cannot guarantee that and is not liable for it always being the cheapest possible route.

Every time you connect with your Wallet to the Website, it will read-out the information stored in your Wallet as well as the publicly accessible data stored in the smart contracts of all Enso Shortcuts run on the Blockchain. The Website will use this information in order to provide you with a graphical representation of the Enso Shortcuts created and executed by you in the Enso Dashboard (Enso Dashboard) as well as provide you with the software tool set that enables you to access/manage your own Enso Shortcut(s) based on the means of access in your possession to your Enso Shortcuts (Enso Shortcut Creator) as well as Enso Shortcuts of other Enso Shortcut Creators.

Users (including the Website Provider acting as User) can create an Enso Shortcut by interacting with the Enso Dashboard offering a variety of selection options. Technically, Enso Shortcuts are created by (i) creating it off-chain through the Enso Shortcuts software development kit (Enso Shortcuts-sdk), a wrapper around the builder and planner packages, which provides the possibility to create Enso Shortcuts (using the builder) or integrate them into a platform (using the planner), and (ii) publishing it on the Website. There are in particular two safety mechanisms in order to avoid manipulation or malicious use of Shortcuts by changing the data/formula stored off-chain: (1) Data/formula of Shortcuts is additionally mirrored after its creation by copying it into a third-party platform (Mirror Data), which is independent from the Website Provider and to which the Website Provider has no access. Prior to execution, the smart contract queries both off-chain stored data/formula and Mirror Data if they match. (2) A simulation environment provided by a third-party or the Website Provider simulates the execution of the Shortcut in order to validate the correct running and to show the expected output (Simulation). Both the Mirror Data and the Simulation procedure must be passed in order for the User then being able to execute an Enso Shortcut.

The Enso Shortcut-sdk allows for the use of off-chain data (including live-data), which can be fed to an Enso Shortcut right before it is executed to provide it with fresh data. The data/formula of the respective Enso Shortcuts created by the Users are not stored on-chain but only off-chain on back-end applications. However, Enso Shortcuts themselves are nonetheless executed on-chain via smart contracts by translating the respective off-chain data/formula and executing them on the Enso Protocol. With the exception of a back-end making the query to fetch the live-data, the Website Provider ensures and warrants that he does not control any live-data fed into any of the Enso Shortcuts and any Enso Shortcut Creator ensures and warrants that she/he does not control any live-data fed into any Enso Shortcut created by her/him. Once deployed, the Enso Shortcuts themselves are neither upgradeable by Enso nor Creators. However, the Website Provider has the right, but no obligation to call an emergency fallback in cases of severe security risk which will default the smart contract to withdrawals only.

Within the Enso Dashboard, Users can explore other Enso Shortcuts on the exploration page or view their balance on the balance page via the Website without intermediaries while remaining in control of their own crypto assets.

By interacting with the Dashboard, the User can see a list of his open positions and is then able to close any open position individually. Further, he can harvest rewards for any individual position.

The Website Provider does neither endorse any particular Enso Shortcut nor otherwise officially advise you with respect to any particular Enso Shortcut. Any predefined Enso Shortcuts are made available on the Website to every User in the same way and are not intended to be (personalized) financial advice to you.
