Legal Disclaimer
Important Notice:
The following Legal Disclaimer applies to all users, contributors, developers, and participants in the StarMiner protocol. By engaging with StarMiner’s platform or participating in any activities associated with the protocol, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this section.
1. No Financial or Investment Advice
StarMiner is a decentralized compute network, designed to enable distributed access to high-performance GPU resources for AI, rendering, and simulation tasks. While StarMiner's tokenomics and rewards system provide economic incentives, nothing in this whitepaper or on StarMiner’s platform constitutes financial or investment advice.
We do not advise or endorse the purchase, holding, or sale of any digital assets, including AGPU or AMAX tokens, for speculative or investment purposes. Participants are solely responsible for their investment decisions and should consult with professional financial, legal, or tax advisors before engaging in any actions related to StarMiner.
2. Regulatory Compliance and Legal Risks
StarMiner operates in the rapidly evolving landscape of blockchain technology, decentralized finance (DeFi), and Web3 infrastructure. Regulatory frameworks for blockchain-based projects, digital assets, and decentralized computing vary significantly across jurisdictions.
StarMiner makes no representations or warranties regarding the legality or regulatory status of its platform, services, or tokens in any particular jurisdiction. It is the sole responsibility of each participant to:
Ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations related to their activities with StarMiner.
Seek legal counsel to determine whether StarMiner’s services are permissible under the laws of their country of residence.
StarMiner will not be liable for any legal actions, penalties, or fines incurred as a result of non-compliance with local, national, or international regulations.
3. No Guarantees of Earnings
StarMiner provides an opportunity for users to earn AGPU tokens by providing computing resources or participating in the governance of the protocol. However, there are no guarantees of earnings or profits, and income from participating in StarMiner’s network is highly variable. Earnings are dependent on a number of factors, including but not limited to:
Node performance
Task demand
Market conditions
Regional compute availability
User reputation and activity
Participants are advised to carefully consider the risks involved and should not invest more than they are willing to lose. StarMiner makes no guarantees regarding the stability of token prices or the value of rewards.
4. Risk of Loss
By participating in StarMiner, you acknowledge that there are significant risks associated with decentralized computing platforms, including but not limited to:
Operational risk (e.g., hardware failure, network congestion, downtime)
Security risk (e.g., hacking, fraud, malicious attacks)
Volatility risk (e.g., price fluctuations in AGPU or AMAX tokens)
Legal and regulatory risk (e.g., changes in government regulations)
You assume full responsibility for these risks and understand that StarMiner is not liable for any financial losses, damages, or injuries that may result from participating in the network.
5. No Liability for Third-Party Services
StarMiner’s ecosystem may integrate with third-party services such as external oracles, data providers, and cloud infrastructure. These services are outside the control of StarMiner, and StarMiner makes no representations or warranties regarding their reliability, security, or legality.
StarMiner is not responsible for any damages, losses, or expenses that result from the use of third-party services. Participants are encouraged to review the terms and conditions of any third-party services they engage with.
6. Smart Contract Risk
StarMiner uses smart contracts for task execution, payment distribution, governance proposals, and other protocol functions. While StarMiner’s smart contracts are designed with security in mind, there are inherent risks associated with the use of smart contracts, including:
Code vulnerabilities
Unforeseen bugs
Security exploits
Human error in contract execution
You understand and accept the risks associated with interacting with smart contracts and agree that StarMiner will not be liable for any damages or losses arising from smart contract failures or exploits.
