01Agreement to terms
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you and VRIL LABS ("we", "us", "our") governing your use of vril.li, our SDKs, and any interaction with the $VCUR research utility token or related VRIL LABS ecosystem tokens ($VLABS, $VRAY, $VKEY, $VWONE). By visiting the site, connecting a wallet, or signing a transaction prepared by the site, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.
02Eligibility
You may use vril.li only if you:
- Are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, whichever is higher).
- Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.
- Are not a person, or operating on behalf of a person, ordinarily resident in or located in any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive U.S. or international sanctions (including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions).
- Are not on any U.S. government denied-party list, including OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals list.
- Are not located in or a citizen of a jurisdiction where access to the $VCUR token, related ecosystem tokens, or this site is prohibited by law.
You are responsible for determining whether your use of $VCUR is legal in your jurisdiction. If it is not, you must not use it.
03The service
vril.li is an informational website and front-end interface that:
- Publishes research, whitepapers, and product information.
- Reads public blockchain data from the Base network and third-party APIs.
- Prepares unsigned transactions (e.g. swap, mint) for you to review and sign in your own self-custodied wallet.
- Sends optional email updates if you opt in.
VRIL LABS does not custody your funds, hold your private keys, broker trades, or operate an exchange. We do not act as your fiduciary, broker-dealer, investment adviser, or money transmitter.
04Wallets, signatures & self-custody
When you connect a wallet to vril.li, you remain in full control of that wallet. You are solely responsible for:
- The security of your seed phrase, private keys, and devices.
- Verifying every contract address before you approve or sign a transaction.
- Reviewing the parameters (token amount, slippage, recipient, gas) of every transaction the interface prepares.
- The tax and legal consequences of the transactions you sign.
05Cryptocurrency risk disclosure
By interacting with $VCUR or any VRIL LABS ecosystem token, you acknowledge and accept the following:
Total-loss risk
The value of $VCUR and related tokens can go to zero. You may lose 100% of any value you exchange for these tokens. Do not trade with funds you cannot afford to lose entirely.
Volatility
Crypto-asset prices are extremely volatile and can change by large percentages in seconds. Quotes shown on vril.li are estimates that may differ materially from execution price by the time your transaction confirms.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity for $VCUR and ecosystem tokens may be thin or temporarily unavailable. You may be unable to sell at any price during periods of low liquidity, network congestion, or market stress.
Smart-contract risk
$VCUR was deployed via Clanker on the Base network. Pool liquidity is locked at the Clanker locker contract. Although these contracts are public and on-chain, they may contain bugs or be exploited. VRIL LABS provides no warranty as to the security of any third-party contract you interact with through vril.li.
Network & infrastructure risk
The Base network, Ethereum, RPC providers, wallet providers, and exchange aggregators (0x, 1inch, Mint.club) are operated by third parties. Outages, forks, MEV, sandwich attacks, gas spikes, and front-running are inherent risks of decentralized networks.
Regulatory risk
Crypto regulation is evolving rapidly worldwide. Future laws or enforcement actions could materially affect the legality, value, transferability, or utility of $VCUR. We make no representation that $VCUR will remain legal or accessible in your jurisdiction.
No fiduciary status
VRIL LABS is not your bank, broker, fiduciary, or adviser. You alone bear the consequences of every transaction you sign.
Tax
Buying, selling, swapping, or holding crypto-assets may be a taxable event in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for reporting and paying any taxes that arise from your activity. Consult a qualified tax professional.
$VCUR is a research utility token, not a security
$VCUR is intended as a research utility token used to fuel access to VRIL LABS research artifacts. It does not represent equity, debt, dividends, profit-share, voting rights, or any claim on the assets or revenues of VRIL LABS. It is not registered as a security with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulator. Any expectation of profit derived from holding $VCUR is yours alone.
06No financial, legal, or tax advice
Nothing on vril.li — including blog posts, whitepapers, FAQs, on-chain stats, charts, countdowns, milestone announcements, or AI-generated content — constitutes financial, investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice. All content is provided for informational and research purposes only. Consult qualified professionals before making any financial decision.
07Prohibited use
You agree not to:
- Use the site to violate any law or regulation, including securities, sanctions, anti-money-laundering, or counter-terrorist-financing law.
- Engage in market manipulation, wash trading, spoofing, pump-and-dump schemes, or insider trading.
- Reverse-engineer, scrape, or stress-test the site or its APIs in a way that interferes with availability for others.
- Impersonate VRIL LABS, its employees, or any other person.
- Use bots, scripts, or automation to abuse rate limits, the subscribe form, or the swap interface.
- Use the site to facilitate gambling, illegal goods/services, child sexual abuse material, or human trafficking.
- Introduce malware, exploit vulnerabilities, or attempt to access non-public areas of the site or our infrastructure.
08Third-party services
vril.li integrates with third-party services including (without limitation) Reown / WalletConnect, AppKit, 0x, 1inch, Mint.club V2, Clanker, GeckoTerminal, Basescan, Resend, Vercel, and Replit. These services are independently operated under their own terms and privacy policies. VRIL LABS is not responsible for their performance, availability, accuracy, security, or actions. Your use of any third-party service is at your own risk.
09Intellectual property
All content on vril.li — including text, graphics, logos, the VRIL LABS name and marks, design, code, whitepapers, and the structure of this site — is the property of VRIL LABS or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright and trademark law. You may view and link to public pages. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works without our prior written permission, except where an open-source license explicitly grants those rights — for SDKs and other works that VRIL LABS publishes on GitHub, the canonical grant is the VRIL LABS Open Source License v1.0.
10Disclaimers
The site, the SDKs, and any related content are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that quotes, prices, balances, countdowns, or on-chain data displayed on the site are accurate, complete, current, or error-free. We do not warrant that any transaction will execute, settle, or settle at the displayed price.
11Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will VRIL LABS, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or crypto-asset value, arising out of or in connection with your use of the site, your interaction with $VCUR or related tokens, or third-party services accessed through the site, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not VRIL LABS has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the aggregate liability of VRIL LABS for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the site is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you have paid VRIL LABS in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability for certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the above exclusions and limitations apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
12Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless VRIL LABS and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the site; (b) your interaction with $VCUR, related tokens, or any third-party service accessed through the site; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any law or any third party's rights; or (e) any tax obligation arising from your activity.
13Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Effective" date at the top reflects the current version. Material changes will be announced on this page and (if you've subscribed) by email. Your continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
14Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the site at any time, for any reason, without notice — including for suspected violation of these Terms or applicable law. You may stop using the site at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including the risk disclosure, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.
15Governing law & dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Ventura County, California for any dispute not subject to the arbitration provision below.
Informal resolution first
Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at legal@vril.li and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 60 days.
Binding arbitration & class-action waiver
Any dispute that is not resolved informally will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules in Ventura County, California, in English. You and VRIL LABS each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in any class, collective, or representative action. Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for intellectual-property or unauthorized-access claims. Either party may opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to legal@vril.li within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
16Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any posted disclosures) form the entire agreement between you and VRIL LABS regarding the site.
- Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
- Assignment. You may not assign your rights under these Terms. We may assign ours to an affiliate or successor.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including network outages, regulatory action, or acts of God.
- Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
