What You Should Know
1. Eligibility and acceptance
Last updated October 12, 2026. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Aethel website, apps and services (the "Services"), operated by Aethel Labs, Inc. ("Aethel", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Services you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. You must be at least 18, able to enter a binding contract and resident in a country where we offer the Services; we do not serve sanctioned countries or people on sanctions lists. If you accept for a company, you confirm you may bind it. We will give you notice before material changes take effect.
2. Accounts and identity checks
Each person or business may hold one account. Before your first withdrawal we verify your identity with a photo ID and a selfie (KYC), and we may ask for proof of address or source of funds to meet anti-money-laundering (AML) rules. Keep your details accurate, turn on two-factor authentication and keep your login private: you are responsible for all activity under your account. We may limit, freeze or close an account if verification fails, if we suspect fraud or if the law requires it, and we will tell you why when we are allowed to.
3. Trading, staking and fees
Aethel offers spot trading, instant swaps, staking, custody and portfolio tools. Orders are final once they execute. Trading fees depend on your plan (Starter 0.25%, Pro 0.10%, Institutional 0.05%), swaps carry a flat 0.3% fee included in the quote and network fees are shown before you confirm. Staking rewards are variable, paid weekly and not guaranteed, and assets in a locked pool stay locked until the term ends. We aim for 99.9% availability but may pause the Services for maintenance, security or extreme market events. Nothing we publish is financial, legal or tax advice.
4. ATL presale and risks
ATL is the Aethel platform token, an LMV-20 token on Lumvale. Presale purchases are final, priced at the stage that is live when you buy and claimable at the token generation event; the listing date and price can change. ATL gives holders access to platform features such as fee discounts, staking and governance. It is not a share, a loan or a claim on Aethel's revenue, and the presale is not offered where the law prohibits it. Crypto assets are volatile and you can lose money. Prices, staking rates and presale terms can change and are never guaranteed, and nothing here is financial advice.
5. Prohibited use, liability and contact
Do not use Aethel to launder money, finance crime, evade sanctions, manipulate markets (for example wash trading or spoofing), access accounts or systems without permission or scrape the Services. To the extent the law allows, Aethel is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, market movements or losses caused by compromised devices or credentials, and our total liability is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, and disputes go to the courts in Austin, Texas. Questions?
