Crypto terms of service have to cover risks that ordinary SaaS terms do not, from smart contract failures to sanctions screening and chain forks. We draft terms for wallets, DeFi interfaces, NFT platforms and trading products that match how your product actually works. Where your model raises securities or money transmission questions, we flag them as fact-dependent; pricing is a flat fee, quoted before we start.

Terms of Service (Crypto Products): questions founders ask
Beyond standard terms, they should include specific risk disclosures, eligibility and sanctions provisions, a clear description of whether you hold user assets and terms for forks and network events. Dispute resolution and liability limits matter too. The right content depends on your product and users.
No. Terms set expectations and allocate risk, but they cannot change how regulators view the underlying activity. Whether a front end raises securities, money transmission or other questions is fact-dependent. We flag those questions alongside the drafting.
US sanctions rules restrict dealings with sanctioned persons and jurisdictions, and many crypto products also restrict users in specific states or countries for licensing reasons. Which restrictions apply depends on your product and operations. Your terms should match the controls you actually run.
Arbitration clauses are common in crypto terms, often with a class action waiver. Their enforceability depends on how users accept the terms and the applicable law. A clear acceptance flow matters as much as the clause.
