The GlueX ecosystem operates under a robust legal framework designed to ensure transparency, security, and compliance. Below are the core legal documents that govern your relationship with GlueX

  • General Terms of Service: These terms govern the overall use of all GlueX Services, including our website, decentralized finance (DeFi) transaction services, and any related products or functionalities. This document covers eligibility, restricted jurisdictions, the nature of our non-custodial services, compliance obligations (eg: AML/KYC), intellectual property ownership, disclaimers, and limitations of liability
  • Widget Terms of Use: If you integrate the GlueX Widget into your website or application, these specific terms apply. They outline the license grant and restrictions for widget usage, data collection and privacy considerations pertinent to the widget, service availability, and compliance responsibilities for integrators

When building with or integrating GlueX APIs, UI Components or contributing to the protocol, keep the following important legal points in mind:
  • License Scope and Limitations: The licenses granted for our APIs, UI Components and open source code are generally limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable. They do not permit sublicensing or resale of direct access without explicit prior written consent
  • Usage Restrictions: There are specific prohibitions against actions such as reverse engineering, decompiling, creating competing services, circumventing security measures or engaging in any activities that could disrupt GlueX’s services or violate applicable laws. Your use must always be for lawful purposes
  • Open-Source Contribution (Self-Integration): While our core code is open-source (typically MIT/Apache license), contributions to the GlueX Liquidity Module Self-Integration Repository are subject to the terms of that repository
  • End-User Agreements: If your application or service integrates GlueX functionalities for your end users, you are responsible for ensuring your own terms of service and privacy policy adequately inform your users and protect GlueX’s rights and interests as a third party service provider
  • Ownership and Intellectual Property: GlueX retains all rights, titles, and interests in its platform, APIs, UI Components, content, trademarks, logos and proprietary technology. Your license to use these does not transfer any ownership to you
  • Data Privacy Compliance: When using GlueX APIs or the Widget, certain transaction logs, IP addresses and usage metrics may be collected and processed by GlueX as outlined in our Privacy Policy. You must also ensure that your own collection and handling of user data comply with all applicable data protection laws (eg: GDPR, CCPA)
  • Regulatory & Sanctions Compliance: You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of GlueX Services complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC) and sanctions compliance (eg: OFAC, EU, UN restrictions)
