3. Description of the services
3.1 Overview.
Mullet is a decentralised TradFi contract trading platform built on the Solana blockchain. The interface allows you to interact with the underlying smart contract protocol (the "Protocol") in a non-custodial manner, through a self-custody wallet or the multi-party computation (MPC) wallet service provided by Privy (the "Wallet"), in order to obtain synthetic price exposure to a range of assets.
3.2 Settlement and withdrawals.
a) Settlement currency: all trading profit and loss, fees and margin calculations on the platform are settled in MUSD, a stablecoin issued by Mullet.
b) Withdrawals: MUSD circulates only within the platform and cannot be transferred cross-chain or exchanged externally. When you request a withdrawal, the platform burns the corresponding amount of MUSD and the custody account transfers an equivalent amount of USDC/USDT 1:1 to the wallet address you specify (Ethereum, Solana and Tron networks are supported).
3.3 Third-party integrations.
a) Wallet services: the services integrate the MPC wallet solution provided by Privy Inc., which allows you to manage your trading account and assets. Your relationship with Privy is governed by their separate terms of service. You understand and acknowledge that you must safeguard all authentication information associated with the Privy wallet, and that Mullet cannot access, recover or control your wallet private key.
b) Oracles and bridges: proper operation of the services depends on oracle price data and cross-chain bridging services provided by third parties. Mullet is not responsible for the accuracy, reliability or continuity of those third-party services.
4. Fees
You agree to pay all network fees arising from your use of the services (such as Solana network gas), along with the trading fees, funding rates and other charges published by Mullet on the website. All fees are charged in MUSD. The fee structure may change, and we will announce changes on the website in advance.
5. No professional advice
All information provided in connection with your access to and use of the services is for reference only and should not be construed as professional advice. You should not take, or refrain from taking, any action on the basis of any information contained on the website or any other information we provide at any time (including blog posts, data, articles, links to third-party content, Discord content, news feeds, tutorials, tweets and videos). Before making any financial, legal or other decision involving the services, you should seek independent professional advice from an individual qualified and licensed in the relevant field. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, impose any fiduciary duty on us. You further agree that the only duties and obligations we owe you are those expressly set out in this Agreement.
6. Acceptable use; prohibited uses
You must not use the services to engage in the categories of activity set out below ("Prohibited Uses"). The specific activities listed are examples of Prohibited Uses and are not exhaustive.

You hereby grant us a royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, display, perform, publish and distribute, in any form, medium or manner, any content made available to other users as a result of your use of the website or the services (together, "Your Content"), including for the purpose of promoting Mullet or the services. You represent and warrant that (a) you own Your Content or have the right to grant the rights and licences in this Agreement; and (b) Your Content, and our use of it as licensed here, does not and will not infringe, misappropriate or violate the rights of any third party.
8. Intellectual property; additional licences
8.1 You acknowledge that certain aspects of the services may use, contain or link to open-source components, and that your use of the services is subject to any applicable open-source licences governing those components (together, the "Open-Source Licences"), with which you will comply. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you must not (a) resell, rent, lend, share, distribute or otherwise allow any third party to use the services; (b) use the services for timesharing or service bureau purposes; or (c) otherwise use the services in a way that breaches the Open-Source Licences.
8.2 Other than third-party software included in the services, as between you and Mullet, Mullet owns the services, including all technology, content and other materials used, displayed or provided on the website or in the services (including all intellectual property rights in them, whether or not subject to Open-Source Licences), and hereby grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to access and use those parts of the website and services that are proprietary to Mullet and not made available under an Open-Source Licence.
8.3 Any product or service name, logo and other mark of Mullet used on the website or as part of the services, including the Mullet name and logo, is a trademark of Mullet or its licensors. You must not copy, imitate or use them without the prior written consent of Mullet or the relevant licensor, and this Agreement grants you no rights in these trademarks. You must not remove, obscure or alter any legal notice displayed in or with the website or the services.
9. Third-party resources and promotions
- The services or third parties may provide links to other World Wide Web or accessible sites, applications or resources. You acknowledge and agree that Mullet is not responsible for the availability of such external sites, applications or resources, does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products or other materials on or available from them. You further acknowledge and agree that Mullet is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused, directly or indirectly, by the use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such site or resource.
- The services integrate the MPC wallet solution provided by Privy Inc., which allows you to manage your trading account and assets. Your relationship with Privy is governed by their separate terms of service. You understand and acknowledge that you must safeguard all authentication information associated with the Privy wallet, and that Mullet cannot access, recover or control your wallet private key.
10. Modification, suspension and termination of the services
We may, at our discretion, modify, suspend or discontinue (temporarily or permanently) the services (or any part of them) at any time, with or without prior notice to you and for any reason, including allowing only the closing of open perpetual contracts. Upon termination of your access, your right to use the services terminates immediately. We are not liable for any loss you suffer as a result of any modification, suspension or discontinuation of any service, or any modification, suspension or termination of your access to all or part of the services for any reason. Regardless of the reason for termination or expiry, section 7 and sections 9 to 17 of this Agreement survive the termination of your access to the website or the services, as do any other provisions that by law or by their nature should survive.
11. Risk disclosure
11.1 By accessing or using the services, you understand and accept the risks inherent in cryptographic systems and blockchain-based networks; the use and complexity of digital assets, including native digital assets (such as Solana); smart-contract-based tokens, including fungible tokens and NFTs; and systems that interact with blockchain-based networks. Mullet does not own or control any of the underlying software on which blockchain networks are based. Generally, the underlying software of blockchain networks (including the SOL chain) is open source, and anyone may use, copy, modify and distribute it. By using the services you acknowledge and agree that (a) Mullet is not responsible for the operation of the blockchain-based software and networks supporting the services, (b) no guarantee is made as to their functionality, security or availability, and (c) the underlying blockchain-based networks may undergo sudden rule changes, commonly known as "forks", which may materially affect the services. Blockchain networks use public and private key cryptography. You are solely responsible for protecting your private key. We cannot access your private key. Losing control of a private key will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to digital assets on the Solana blockchain or other blockchain-based networks. Neither Mullet nor any other person or entity can retrieve or protect your digital assets. If your private key is lost, you will be unable to transfer your digital assets to any other blockchain address or wallet. If that happens, you will be unable to realise any value or utility of the digital assets you may hold.
11.2 You acknowledge and understand that the services and your digital assets may be affected by one or more regulatory investigations or regulatory actions, which may impede or limit Mullet's ability to continue to make our proprietary software available, and may impede or limit your ability to access or use the services.
11.3 You acknowledge and understand that cryptography is a constantly evolving field, and that advances in code cracking or other technical progress (such as the development of quantum computers) may present risks to digital assets and the services, and could result in the theft or loss of your digital assets. Where possible, the smart contracts available on the interface will be updated to account for advances in cryptography and to incorporate security measures needed to address the risks presented by technological progress, but that intention does not guarantee or otherwise ensure the complete security of the services.
11.4 You understand that the SOL blockchain is still under development, which creates technical and security risks when using the services, in addition to the uncertainties associated with digital assets and transactions in them. You acknowledge that the cost of transacting on the Solana blockchain is variable and may increase at any time, affecting any activity occurring on the Solana blockchain, which may result in price volatility or increased costs when using the services.
11.5 You acknowledge that the services have defects, and that you are solely responsible for evaluating any code associated with the services. This warning and the other warnings Mullet provides in this Agreement in no way constitute or represent an ongoing duty to alert you to all potential risks of using the services.
11.6 Although we intend to provide accurate and timely information on the website and during your use of the services, the website and other information available when using the services may not always be entirely accurate, complete or current, and may also contain technical or typographical errors. In order to continue providing you with information that is as complete and accurate as possible, information may be changed or updated from time to time without notice, including information about our policies. Accordingly, you acknowledge and understand that you should verify all information before relying on it, and that all decisions made on the basis of information contained on the website or forming part of the services are your sole responsibility. No representation is made as to the accuracy, completeness or suitability for any particular purpose of any pricing information distributed through the website or otherwise made available when using the services. Prices and pricing information may be higher or lower than prices on platforms offering similar services.
11.7 Any interaction with or use of the services requires a comprehensive understanding of applied cryptography and computer science in order to appreciate the inherent risks, including those described above. You represent and warrant that you possess the relevant knowledge and skills. A reference to a type of digital asset on the website or otherwise during use of the services does not indicate our approval or disapproval of the technology on which that digital asset depends, and should not be a substitute for your own understanding of the risks specific to each digital asset.
11.8 Using the services, and in particular entering into perpetual contracts, may involve financial risk. Digital assets, and especially those associated with perpetual contracts, are by nature highly experimental, risky and volatile. Transactions relating to the services are irreversible, final and non-refundable. You acknowledge and agree that you access and use the services at your own risk. The risk of loss in trading digital assets, and in particular in entering into perpetual contracts, can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for your particular circumstances and financial resources. By using the services you represent and warrant that you have been, are and will be solely responsible for independently assessing and investigating the risks of any particular transaction and its underlying digital assets (including perpetual contracts). You represent that you have sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice and experience to evaluate the merits and risks of any transaction relating to the services or any digital asset. You accept all consequences of using the services, including the risk that you may permanently lose access to your digital assets. All trading decisions are made by you alone. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, we are not liable, and will in no event be liable to you, for any loss or damage suffered by you or any third party arising from your use of the services to carry out digital asset transactions (including entering into perpetual contracts).
11.9 We must comply with Applicable Law, which may require us to take certain actions or provide information at the request of governmental authorities. You acknowledge and understand that Mullet may, at its discretion, take any action it considers appropriate in order to cooperate with governmental authorities or comply with Applicable Law.
11.10 You understand that the StarkEx service is still under development, which introduces technical, transactional and other risks when using the services. Those risks include, but are not limited to: delays in transactions, withdrawals and deposits as a result of Mullet's or the StarkEx service operator's servers going offline; incorrect information being displayed on the website in the event of a server error; or transactions carried out using the services being rolled back in the event of a server error. You acknowledge that these risks may materially affect the transactions you carry out using the services, which may mean, among other things, that you are unable to complete a transaction at your desired price or at all.
11.11 You understand that you are responsible for all orders you place, including any erroneous orders that may be executed. We will take no remedial action in respect of erroneous transactions caused by your own mistakes.
11.12 You hereby assume the risks described in this section 10 and in section 2, and acknowledge and agree that Mullet is not liable for the risks described in this section 10. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against Mullet and our shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, suppliers and contractors (the "Representatives") in respect of any of the risks described in this section 10 and section 2.
12. Indemnity
You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Mullet and our Representatives (together, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any claim, demand, action, proceeding, investigation, liability, damage, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of, or conduct in connection with, the services; (b) digital assets associated with your Solana address; (c) any feedback or user content you provide to Mullet regarding the services (if any); (d) your breach of this Agreement; or (e) your infringement or misappropriation of the rights of any other person or entity. If you are obliged to indemnify any Indemnified Party, Mullet (or, at our discretion, the relevant Indemnified Party) will have the right, at its sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether Mullet wishes to settle and, if so, on what terms, and you agree to cooperate with Mullet in the defence.
13. Disclaimers
13.1 Mullet is a software developer. Mullet does not operate a digital asset or derivatives trading venue, does not provide trade execution or clearing services, and has no oversight of, involvement in or control over your transactions using the services. You are responsible for complying with all laws applicable to your digital assets. Because of restrictions under the Commodity Exchange Act and the rules promulgated under it by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), Blocked Persons may not use the services to enter into perpetual contracts.
13.2 You understand that Mullet is not registered with or licensed by any regulatory body or authority. No such body or authority has reviewed or approved the use of the services.
13.3 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the services (and any content or functionality within them) provided by us or on our behalf are provided "as is" and "as available", and we expressly disclaim all representations, conditions and warranties, whether express or implied, at law, by statute or otherwise, whether known or discoverable, including implied or statutory warranties and conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, security, availability, reliability, accuracy, quiet enjoyment and non-infringement of third-party rights. Without limiting the foregoing, we make no representation or warranty that the services (including any related data) will be uninterrupted, available at any particular time, or error-free. Nor do we warrant that errors in the services are correctable or will be corrected.
13.4 You acknowledge that, when accessing or using the services, data you provide may be irretrievably lost, corrupted or temporarily unavailable for a variety of reasons, and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, we are not liable for any loss or damage caused by denial-of-service attacks, software failures, viruses or other technologically harmful material (including material that may infect your computer equipment), changes to third-party providers' protocols, internet outages, force majeure events or other disasters, scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, or other causes within or beyond our control.
13.5 Specific disclaimers. Mullet expressly disclaims any warranty that:
- the underlying Solana blockchain network will perform, be secure or operate without interruption;
- the smart contract protocol is entirely free of defects or vulnerabilities, or can withstand all attacks;
- the MUSD stablecoin will remain permanently pegged to one US dollar without depegging;
- third-party services (including the Privy wallet, oracles and bridges) will be continuous, accurate or secure;
- any market data, analysis or information obtained through the services will be accurate or timely.
14. Limitation of liability
14.1 Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, you agree that neither Mullet nor any of its Representatives is liable for any loss or damage suffered by you or any third party as a result of: (i) any delay, inaccessibility or failure of equipment, technology or other infrastructure; (ii) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs that Mullet or any of our suppliers or contractors may undertake from time to time; (iii) causes beyond Mullet's control or that Mullet could not reasonably foresee; (iv) interruptions and temporary or permanent unavailability of the underlying blockchain infrastructure; or (v) unavailability of third-party service providers or external partners for any reason. In no event will Mullet or its Representatives bear any liability for such loss or damage arising from any of the foregoing events, including any obligation to compensate or reimburse any damage or loss caused by them. You expressly acknowledge that the risk of any loss resulting from such events is yours, and you expressly assume any and all such risks.
14.2 In no event will Mullet, our suppliers and contractors, and the respective shareholders, members, directors, officers, managers, employees, lawyers, agents, representatives, suppliers and contractors of Mullet or of our suppliers and contractors (together, the "Limitation of Liability Parties") be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, punitive, consequential or similar damages or liabilities (including damages for loss of fiat currency, assets, data, information, revenue, opportunity, use, goodwill, profits or other business or financial benefit) arising out of or in connection with: the services (and their respective content and functionality), the execution or settlement of any transaction, any performance or non-performance of the services, your digital assets, perpetual contracts, or any other product, service or item provided by or on behalf of Mullet, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), civil liability, statute, strict liability, breach of warranty or any other theory of liability, and whether or not we have been advised of, knew of or should have known of the possibility of such damages, and notwithstanding the failure of any essential purpose of this Agreement or of any limited remedy under it. Mullet is likewise not responsible for the execution or settlement of transactions between users of the services.
14.3 Without limiting any provision of this Agreement, if Mullet or any related party is found liable under this Agreement, the total liability of Mullet (together with our equity owners, members, directors, managers, officers, employees, lawyers, agents, representatives, suppliers or contractors) arising out of or in connection with your use of the services (and any content and functionality within them), any performance or non-performance of the services, your digital assets, perpetual contracts, or any other product, service or item provided by or on behalf of Mullet, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), civil liability, statute, strict liability or any other theory of liability, will not exceed the amount of fees (if any) you paid to Mullet under this Agreement in the two (2) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
15. Governing law and venue
The interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement, and any dispute relating to this Agreement or the services, will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of (XXX) (where applicable), without regard to conflict-of-law rules or principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. You agree that we may commence proceedings relating to the enforcement of our intellectual property, or confirmation of its validity, in any court of competent jurisdiction. For any other proceedings to which arbitration under this Agreement does not apply, the courts located in (XXX) will have exclusive jurisdiction. You waive any objection to bringing proceedings in those courts.
16. Dispute resolution and arbitration
Please read the following section carefully, as it may significantly affect your legal rights, including your right to sue Mullet in any court or before any authority. Except as expressly provided below, this section requires you to submit any dispute, claim or disagreement arising out of this Agreement or the services (each, a "Dispute") to binding individual arbitration. This section applies to Disputes that arose before the effective date of this Agreement, as well as Disputes that may arise after its termination.
You and Mullet agree that any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the services is a personal dispute between you and Mullet, and that any Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. Nothing in this section prevents you or Mullet from bringing an individual action for damages in small claims court, where the claim qualifies and remains in small claims court, or from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in court for infringement or other alleged misuse of intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents). Except as stated above, you and Mullet waive your rights to a trial before a judge or jury, and to have any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the services resolved by a court. Instead, for any Dispute you have against Mullet, or relating in any way to the services, you agree first to contact Mullet and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of claim (a "Notice") to legal@mullet.top. The Notice must (a) include your name, residential address, email address and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set out the specific relief sought. Our Notice to you will take a similar form. If you and Mullet cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days of receipt of that Notice, either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS, or to court in the limited circumstances described above. All Disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in (XXX) under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the "JAMS Rules"). The latest version of the JAMS Rules is available here and forms part of this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that you have read and understood the JAMS Rules, or have waived the opportunity to read them, and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason. You and Mullet agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce, and that the enforceability of this section will be governed, both substantively and procedurally, by the (XXX) Act to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. Subject to the FAA, this Agreement and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine questions of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only individual arbitration, may not consolidate the claims of multiple individuals, may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding, and may not preside over any proceeding involving multiple individuals. The arbitrator, Mullet and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceeding, judgment and award, including all information gathered, prepared and submitted for the purposes of the arbitration or relating to the Dispute. Unless the law provides otherwise, the arbitrator has the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality. The confidentiality obligation does not apply to disclosures necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for preliminary relief, in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent otherwise required by law or judicial decision. You and Mullet agree that, for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and all other JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Mullet, Mullet will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Mullet agree that the courts of (XXX), and the courts located in (XXX), have exclusive jurisdiction over the enforcement of an arbitration award. Any claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the services must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arises; otherwise the claim is permanently barred, which means you and Mullet will not have the right to assert it. If any part of this section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from this Agreement; (b) severance of that provision will have no effect whatsoever on the remainder of this section or the parties' ability to compel individual arbitration of any remaining claims; and (c) to the extent any claim must as a result proceed on a class, collective, consolidated or representative basis, such claim must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction rather than in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of such a claim will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this section is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will be of no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought outside arbitration, and the remainder of this section will remain enforceable.
