Staking is one of the various ways to interact with the Vince Chain ecosystem. Users of Vince Chain can stake the Vince Chain’s native and governance coin (collectively called “Vince” or “VCE”) and earn rewards from transaction fees. VINCE CHAIN IS COMMITTED, THROUGH ITS OPEN-SOURCE COMMUNITY, TO MAKING ITS STAKING SERVICE ACCESSIBLE AND SECURE BY ALL MEANS WITHIN ITS POWERS. HOWEVER, WE DO NOT AND CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOUR STAKED TOKENS WILL BE VISIBLE IN YOUR WALLET AND/OR BE SUCCESSFUL OR WITHDRAWN AS AT WHEN DUE.

WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ADVERSE SITUATIONS CAUSED BY IMPERMANENT LOSS OR LOSS OF FUNDS DUE TO BUGS OR VULNERABILITIES ON THE THIRD-PARTY WALLET SERVICES OR FIAT GATEWAYS YOU USE, LINKED TO US OR NOT. BY USING THE STAKING SERVICE ON VINCE CHAIN, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR YOUR TOKENS AND STAKES DURING THE LOCKING PERIOD AND BEAR THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH STAKING. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE RISKS INVOLVED IN STAKING AND ARE READY TO BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES WITHOUT INVOLVING VINCE CHAIN OR VINCE CHAIN LABS. Vince Chain shall not be liable to losses due to bugs or security glitches, or loss of funds from the liquidity pool or network. We shall not be held liable for penalties caused by validators to whom you have delegated your digital assets or tokens. You agree that by choosing a specific validator to run nodes on your behalf, you understand the risks involved and have done the necessary due diligence.

16. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL VINCE CHAIN, ITS AGENTS, AFFILIATES, OR DEVELOPERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO $100.00 USD. CERTAIN UNITED STATES LAWS AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
