Terms of Service

The QIE Bridge ("Bridge", "Service") is a user interface operated by QIE Foundation, accessible at cosmos.qie.digital. The Bridge allows users to initiate cross-chain transfers of QIE between QIE Chain and Osmosis using the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.

The Bridge is a front-end interface only. All transfers are executed directly by you through your own wallet. The underlying transfer protocol is open-source and operates autonomously — we do not intermediate, approve, or reverse transactions.

By using the Bridge, you confirm that:

• You are not located in, or a resident of, any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions (including but not limited to those administered by OFAC, the EU, or the UN).
• You are not on any sanctions list or designated as a restricted person by any governmental authority.
• You are using the service solely for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
• You are of legal age in your jurisdiction to enter into this agreement.

We reserve the right to restrict access to the interface in certain jurisdictions without prior notice.

By using the Bridge, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:

• Irreversibility. Transactions broadcast to a blockchain cannot be reversed, cancelled, or recalled. If you send assets to the wrong address, we cannot recover them.
• Transfer delays. Relayer availability, network congestion, or chain conditions may delay transfers. Assets are automatically returned if a transfer cannot complete within the timeout window.
• Protocol risk. Chain halts, software forks, or vulnerabilities in underlying blockchain infrastructure are outside our control and could affect in-flight transfers.
• Wallet security. You are solely responsible for the security of your private keys and wallet. We cannot recover assets from a compromised wallet.
• Smart contract risk. The bridge relies on on-chain protocol logic. While this logic has been independently reviewed, no software is entirely free from risk.

You may not use the Bridge to:

• Launder money, finance terrorism, or engage in any activity that violates anti-money laundering (AML) or counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations.
• Circumvent sanctions or transfer value on behalf of any sanctioned individual or entity.
• Engage in market manipulation, wash trading, or any other deceptive financial activity.
• Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Bridge or its underlying infrastructure.

THE BRIDGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM SECURITY VULNERABILITIES.

We make no representations about the completeness, accuracy, or reliability of any information provided through the Bridge interface. Transfer time estimates are informational only and are not guaranteed.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, QIE FOUNDATION AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE BRIDGE.

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE BRIDGE SHALL NOT EXCEED USD 100.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the Bridge interface. Continued use of the Bridge after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Jurisdiction and dispute resolution provisions are under legal review and will be finalized before the full public launch. For questions about these Terms, contact us at legal@qie.digital.
