These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the CTRL platform ("CTRL," "we," "us," or "our") available at ctrl.build and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service is non-custodial
CTRL provides software that helps you build, deploy, and monitor automated transactions on public blockchains (currently Base). You retain custody of your assets at all times. Automation runs through smart contract vaults you deploy and authorize. We do not hold, escrow, or transmit user funds on your behalf.
Your private keys, seed phrases, and wallet credentials are your sole responsibility. We have no ability to recover, reset, or access them.
2. Automation involves risk
Smart contract automation can lose money. Risks include but are not limited to:
- Smart contract bugs, exploits, or vulnerabilities (in CTRL contracts, third-party DEX routers, or token contracts)
- Slippage, MEV, sandwich attacks, and other price-execution risks
- Oracle failures, pool manipulation, and stale data
- Network congestion causing failed or delayed execution
- Bugs in your own workflow logic or trigger configuration
- Loss of access to your wallet
- Regulatory changes affecting tokens or protocols you interact with
By using the Service you accept these risks. See our Risk Disclaimer for more.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally permitted to use the Service in your jurisdiction. You represent that you are not located in, organized under, or a resident of a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive U.S. or E.U. sanctions, and you are not on any sanctions list. You are responsible for compliance with all laws applicable to your use of the Service, including tax, securities, and anti-money-laundering laws.
4. Your account and wallet
We do not require an email or password. Access is gated by wallet signatures. You are responsible for keeping your wallet secure and for all activity originating from any wallet you connect.
5. Fees
CTRL charges a fee of 0.3% per executed swap, collected on-chain at the time of execution. Network gas fees are additional and paid by you (or by your vault on your behalf). Fees may change with notice; current fees are displayed in the application.
6. Acceptable use
You agree NOT to use the Service to:
- Violate any law or third-party right
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
- Reverse engineer or attempt to bypass security controls
- Engage in market manipulation, wash trading, or other deceptive practices
- Launder funds or evade sanctions
- Submit malicious code or content
7. Intellectual property
The CTRL software (excluding open-source components governed by their own licenses), brand assets, and documentation are owned by CTRL and its licensors. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. You retain ownership of your workflow definitions and on-chain assets.
8. Third-party services
CTRL integrates with third-party blockchains, DEX routers, RPC providers, oracle networks, AI APIs, and notification services. We are not responsible for their performance, availability, or actions. Your use of them may be subject to their own terms.
9. No warranty
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CTRL AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) FEES PAID BY YOU TO CTRL IN THE PRECEDING TWELVE MONTHS, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
11. Indemnification
You will indemnify and hold harmless CTRL from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your workflows, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right.
12. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time and withdraw your funds directly from your vault. Termination does not affect your on-chain assets, which remain under your control.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. You waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted on the Service or via notice. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
