Terms of Use

1. Scope and acceptance

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply when you use the ZIRA website (zira.network), request a formation allocation, or use related services we offer today (together, the “Service”). By using the Service or submitting a request, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If you keep using the Service after we post changes, that means you accept the updated Terms.

2. What ZIRA is, and is not

ZIRA is an open-source, decentralized protocol designed to enable trustless economic coordination between humans and AI agents. It is not a company, investment fund, bank, exchange, or financial services provider. The Foundation team built and maintains the protocol code but does not operate, control, or guarantee the outcome of the network once activated.

ZIR tokens are protocol-native utility tokens used for staking, governance, fee payment, and network access. They are not shares, bonds, securities, or financial instruments of any kind under this characterization. Whether ZIR tokens constitute securities in your jurisdiction is your responsibility to determine before participating.

3. Formation and secure allocation

During the published formation window, you may request allocations by choosing an anchor class (A through F), a quantity of units, and providing a valid email. Published tiers pair fixed ZIR per unit with fixed USDT per unit at the foundation reference price of $0.001 per ZIR for those tiers. Totals scale with quantity. In practice, participation works like this:

• Registration: You submit email, optional name or alias, class, and quantity. No payment happens on the page. You see your totals on screen. A reference id and payment instructions arrive by email from the formation team when it is your turn. Do not send funds to any address you did not receive through an official message.
• Payment: You send the exact USDT amount stated in your instructions to the provided address, on the network explicitly named there (commonly TRC-20 on TRON or ERC-20 on Ethereum when offered). Sending the wrong asset, wrong network, wrong amount, or omitting required memo rules can cause permanent loss. ZIRA is not liable for funds sent incorrectly.
• Confirmation: Your allocation is confirmed once payment is verified by the ZIRA team. Confirmation may take up to 72 hours. An order reference or registration acknowledgment is not proof that funds were received or matched.
• Validity window: Any payment address or amount may be time-limited. If instructions expire, do not send funds until you receive updated instructions from an official channel.
• Claim codes: After successful verification, you should receive a claim code (for example ZIRA-CLM-…) for use in the published wallet activation flow. Claim codes are issued only after verification, not at initial registration.
• Allocation lock: Once confirmed under published rules, your ZIR allocation is locked at the agreed tier economics. Transferability, activation, vesting, and rewards follow the technical and policy rules published at activation time.

4. Vesting and distribution

Foundation ZIR tokens are subject to the following schedule after ZIRA activates:

• 6-month cliff: No tokens vest during the first 6 months after activation.
• 18-month linear vest: After the cliff, 1/18th of your allocation vests each month for 18 months.
• Staking income: Staking rewards are not subject to vesting. They accumulate from day one of activation and can be claimed at any time.

5. Activation threshold

ZIRA activates when the published formation threshold is reached (for example when all foundation seats are settled under the rules in effect at the time). We do not guarantee a specific activation date. If the threshold is not reached, confirmed participants may be entitled to a full refund of confirmed USDT payments according to the refund policy in effect. Refund requests must be submitted within the window stated in the formal announcement, using your order reference and registration email as proof.

6. Not financial advice

Nothing on this website or in any ZIRA communication constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All participation in formation or secure allocation is at your own risk. You should conduct your own due diligence and, if appropriate, consult qualified professionals before participating.

7. Risk disclosure

Participation in formation or secure allocation involves significant risks, including but not limited to:

• Total loss of the USDT you commit if the protocol fails to activate or is abandoned
• Regulatory changes in your jurisdiction that may restrict your ability to hold or use ZIR tokens
• Smart contract vulnerabilities, even following security audits
• Market volatility: the value of ZIR tokens after activation may be significantly lower than the foundation reference price
• Network attack, censorship, or technical failure
• Loss of access to your wallet or private keys

By participating, you acknowledge and accept all of these risks.

8. Prohibited jurisdictions and participants

You may not participate in formation or secure allocation if you are:

• A resident, citizen, or national of the United States of America or its territories
• A resident of any country subject to comprehensive OFAC sanctions (currently including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and certain regions of Ukraine)
• A person or entity on any sanctions list published by the US, EU, UK, or UN
• Residing in a jurisdiction where participation in token sales, digital asset purchases, or similar activities is prohibited by applicable law

By submitting a formation request, you represent and warrant that none of the above applies to you. If any restriction applies to you after submission, you must immediately cease participation and notify the ZIRA team.

9. Fair formation and abuse

Published caps on seats per class, quantity limits per applicant, and anti-abuse rules apply. Creating multiple registrations under different identities to circumvent limits or queue ordering is prohibited and may result in cancellation of associated requests without refund, as described in official communications.

10. Intellectual property

The ZIRA name, logo, website design, and documentation are the intellectual property of the ZIRA Foundation. The protocol code is open-source and governed by its published license. You may not use ZIRA branding for commercial purposes without written permission.

11. No warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without any warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the ZIRA Foundation, its contributors, advisors, and associated entities shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service or the ZIRA protocol, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid in confirmed USDT for formation participation under these Terms.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the ZIRA Foundation is registered, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration, except where prohibited by applicable law. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

14. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ZIRA with respect to the subject matter herein. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms continues in full effect.
