TERMS OF USE

Effective Date: September 15, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern the websites, interfaces, software, documentation, and other software tools provided by Tool 33, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Tool 33,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Tool 33 develops and provides software tooling that may be used to access decentralized protocols, including the decentralized Rare Friends virtual-pet protocol (the “Rare Friends Protocol” or “Protocol”).

Tool 33 does not own, operate, control, manage, or administer the Rare Friends Protocol. Tool 33 does not receive revenue, proceeds, fees, ownership interests, liquidity interests, or other economic value from use of the Rare Friends Protocol.

By using software or interfaces provided by Tool 33, you agree to these Terms.

1. Software Provider Only

Tool 33 is a software provider.

Tool 33 develops, publishes, deploys, and maintains software tools that may enable users to interact with public blockchain networks and decentralized smart contracts.

The Rare Friends Protocol is separate from Tool 33. It operates through public blockchain infrastructure and smart contracts.

Tool 33 does not:

  • own the Rare Friends Protocol;
  • custody user assets;
  • control user wallets;
  • execute transactions on behalf of users;
  • act as an exchange, broker, dealer, investment adviser, or asset manager;
  • receive Protocol transaction proceeds;
  • receive Protocol liquidity;
  • receive a percentage of transactions;
  • receive royalties from Protocol activity; or
  • have any ownership interest in assets deposited into the Protocol.

Transactions are initiated by users through their own wallets and executed through public blockchain infrastructure.

Providing software that can interact with a decentralized protocol does not mean Tool 33 owns or operates that protocol.

2. Decentralized Protocol

The Rare Friends Protocol consists of decentralized blockchain functionality that exists independently from Tool 33.

Tool 33 does not have unilateral authority to direct transactions, transfer user assets, determine ownership of blockchain assets, reverse transactions, or control public blockchain networks.

Once a transaction is submitted to a blockchain, its execution is governed by the relevant network and smart contracts.

Tool 33 cannot guarantee that any blockchain, smart contract, decentralized exchange, wallet, liquidity pool, RPC provider, or other third-party system will continue to operate.

Tool 33 may discontinue its own website, interfaces, or software without causing the underlying decentralized Protocol to cease existing.

3. No Economic Interest in Protocol Activity

Tool 33 does not receive economic value from use of the Rare Friends Protocol.

Tool 33 does not receive user deposits, trading proceeds, Protocol fees, fair-launch proceeds, NFT purchase proceeds, commissions, liquidity-provider interests, royalties, or a percentage of Protocol transactions.

Assets interacting with the Protocol remain subject to the applicable blockchain and smart-contract mechanics.

Network fees, gas fees, decentralized-exchange fees, wallet fees, and similar charges are imposed by independent systems or third parties and are not payments to Tool 33.

4. $RAREFRIENDS Fair Launch

The $RAREFRIENDS fair launch is not a sale by Tool 33.

Tool 33 does not receive, custody, retain, or earn any portion of assets contributed through the fair launch.

All proceeds contributed through the fair-launch mechanism are directed through the applicable smart contracts toward liquidity for the decentralized Rare Friends Protocol.

No fair-launch proceeds are paid to Tool 33, LLC as revenue, compensation, profit, commission, or consideration.

Tool 33 does not promise any future price, return, liquidity, appreciation, market, or financial performance for $RAREFRIENDS.

5. No U.S. Persons

The $RAREFRIENDS fair launch and Tool 33 software functionality intended to facilitate participation in Rare Friends token or NFT functionality are not offered to U.S. Persons.

For purposes of these Terms, a “U.S. Person” includes a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, a person located or ordinarily resident in the United States, an entity organized under U.S. law, a person acting for the account or benefit of such a person, or another person whose participation would cause the relevant activity to be subject to restrictions applicable to U.S. participation.

By using restricted functionality, you represent that you are not a U.S. Person, are not located in the United States, are not acting for a U.S. Person, and are permitted to participate under the laws applicable to you.

You may not use a VPN, proxy, intermediary, false information, or other method for the purpose of circumventing these restrictions.

The public availability of informational material, blockchain data, open-source code, or public smart contracts does not constitute an offer to U.S. Persons.

6. Rare Friends Genesis NFTs

Rare Friends Genesis NFTs are not sold by Tool 33.

Genesis NFTs are made available free of charge through the applicable distribution mechanism. Tool 33 receives no purchase price, sale proceeds, royalty, or other consideration for their distribution.

Users may incur blockchain gas or third-party fees. Those amounts are not paid to Tool 33.

A Genesis NFT does not represent ownership of Tool 33, a right to Tool 33 revenue or profits, a debt owed by Tool 33, or a contractual right to financial returns from Tool 33.

7. Rare Friends Generations NFTs

Rare Friends Generations NFTs are not sold by Tool 33.

Generations NFTs are generated through decentralized Protocol mechanics associated with ownership or use of $RAREFRIENDS tokens.

Tool 33 does not charge a purchase price for Generations NFTs and receives no proceeds from their generation.

Any token requirements are functions of the decentralized Protocol rather than a separate NFT sale by Tool 33.

Blockchain gas and third-party fees may apply and are not revenue to Tool 33.

8. No Investment Offering or Advice

Tool 33 provides software. It does not provide investment, financial, legal, or tax advice.

Nothing on a Tool 33 website, interface, documentation, or community channel is a promise or guarantee concerning the value of $RAREFRIENDS, any NFT, or any other digital asset.

Tool 33 does not promise profits, appreciation, passive income, guaranteed liquidity, or financial returns based on Tool 33's work.

Nothing in these Terms is a representation concerning the securities, commodities, tax, or other legal classification of a token, NFT, Protocol, or transaction in any jurisdiction.

Users are responsible for determining the legal and tax consequences of their own activity.

9. Non-Custodial Software

Tool 33 does not custody user funds or digital assets.

Users interact through self-custodied wallets or independent third-party wallet providers. Tool 33 does not hold private keys or seed phrases and cannot recover lost credentials or reverse blockchain transactions.

Never provide Tool 33 with a private key or seed phrase.

You are responsible for your wallet, transactions, approvals, security practices, and assets.

10. Eligibility and Compliance

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of agreeing to these Terms.

You may use Tool 33 software only where your use is lawful.

You may not use Tool 33 software to violate applicable law, circumvent sanctions or geographic restrictions, commit fraud, launder funds, manipulate markets, compromise software or smart contracts, or engage in other unlawful activity.

You may not use restricted functionality if you are subject to applicable sanctions or are located in a jurisdiction where such use is prohibited.

11. Privacy and Blockchain Data

Tool 33 does not require traditional user accounts and does not intentionally maintain a database of personal user profiles for the Rare Friends Protocol.

Tool 33 does not sell user personal information or derive revenue from user data.

Public blockchains may permanently display wallet addresses, transactions, token balances, NFT ownership, smart-contract interactions, and related information. Tool 33 does not control or delete public blockchain records.

Hosting companies, content-delivery networks, wallet providers, RPC providers, security services, and other infrastructure providers may independently process technical information such as IP addresses or request logs under their own policies.

12. Technology and Protocol Risks

Use of decentralized protocols involves risk.

Smart contracts may contain bugs or vulnerabilities. Wallets may be compromised. Networks may fail or become congested. Transactions may be irreversible. Liquidity may decrease or disappear. Digital assets may lose some or all of their value. Laws may change. Third-party applications and infrastructure may stop operating.

Tool 33 does not guarantee the operation, security, liquidity, availability, price, or continued existence of the Rare Friends Protocol or any digital asset associated with it.

You use decentralized protocols at your own risk.

13. Third-Party Systems

Tool 33 software may interact with public blockchains, decentralized exchanges, liquidity pools, wallets, RPC services, blockchain explorers, decentralized storage systems, and other third-party systems.

Tool 33 does not control these systems and is not responsible for their acts, omissions, security, availability, fees, or performance.

The availability of an integration or link does not mean Tool 33 owns, operates, or endorses the applicable third party.

14. Intellectual Property

Tool 33 retains its rights in its websites, interfaces, documentation, branding, and proprietary software.

Open-source software is governed by its applicable open-source license.

Ownership of a Rare Friends NFT does not by itself transfer copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property rights except as expressly provided by an applicable separate license.

Tool 33's intellectual-property rights in software or interfaces do not give Tool 33 ownership of the decentralized Rare Friends Protocol or assets held by Protocol users.

15. Disclaimer

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TOOL 33 SOFTWARE, WEBSITES, INTERFACES, AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

TOOL 33 DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SECURITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND AVAILABILITY.

TOOL 33 DOES NOT WARRANT THAT A BLOCKCHAIN, SMART CONTRACT, PROTOCOL, TOKEN, NFT, WALLET, LIQUIDITY POOL, OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE WILL FUNCTION WITHOUT ERROR OR REMAIN AVAILABLE.

16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TOOL 33 AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, DEVELOPERS, AFFILIATES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM USE OF TOOL 33 SOFTWARE OR A DECENTRALIZED PROTOCOL.

THIS INCLUDES LOSSES RESULTING FROM SMART-CONTRACT FAILURES, WALLET COMPROMISE, BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTIONS, MARKET CONDITIONS, LOSS OF DIGITAL ASSETS, LOSS OF LIQUIDITY, THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, NETWORK FAILURES, OR REGULATORY ACTION.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TOOL 33'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR TOOL 33 SOFTWARE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT DIRECTLY PAID TO TOOL 33 FOR THE RELEVANT SOFTWARE SERVICE DURING THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS OR USD $100.

Payments made to blockchains, smart contracts, liquidity pools, decentralized exchanges, or third parties are not payments to Tool 33.

17. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify Tool 33 and its members, managers, employees, contractors, developers, affiliates, and agents against claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal costs resulting from your violation of these Terms, unlawful use of Tool 33 software, or false statements concerning your eligibility or jurisdiction.

18. Changes and Availability

Tool 33 may modify, suspend, or discontinue its websites, software, interfaces, or documentation.

This does not imply that Tool 33 can modify, suspend, or discontinue an independent decentralized protocol or public blockchain.

Tool 33 may update these Terms. Updated Terms will be posted with a revised effective date.

19. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Subject to non-waivable rights under applicable law, disputes concerning Tool 33 or these Terms shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Wyoming.

20. General Terms

If any provision of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

Tool 33's failure to enforce a provision does not waive that provision.

These Terms constitute the agreement between you and Tool 33 regarding Tool 33-provided software and interfaces unless separate written terms expressly apply.
