### 1. PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT

#### 1.1 General information

The Usual Protocol, as well as other related interfaces (https://usual.money),Interfaces (as defined below) are provided by Up Only Co, a French simplified joint stock company (société par actions simplifiée) organized under the laws of France, having its registered office located at 1 rue de Stockholm 75008 Paris, incorporated with the Commercial and Companies Register of Paris under number 919 540 427 ("Usual Labs, Inc. ("Usual Labs")" or the “Company”) and its affiliates ("we," "us," "our").

Usual ProtocolThe Interface, as defined below, provides information and resources about the fundamentals of the protocol called "Usual" that permits, among other things, the generation of stablecoins, transactions using smart contracts, and the lending, leveraging, and staking of cryptographic assets (the "Protocol").

The purpose of these terms of use (the "Terms") is to define:

  • the terms and conditions of use applicable to the user (the "User," "you," or "your"), when using our websites located at https://usual.money or any other related interface (the "Interface")

  • the terms and conditions applicable to any other features, tools, materials, or other services offered from time to time on the Interface (the "Services").

### #### 1.2 Definitions

  • ADDU: means the Association de Développement de la DAO Usual (ADDU), a French law association having its registered office located at 10, rue de la Paix, 75002 Paris, and registered with INSEE under SIREN number 925 013 245, developing and organizing the Usual DAO, composed of Usual Token holders.

  • Airdrop: means the process of distribution of tokens for free to Users who have participated in an airdrop through a dedicated interface, such operation which may be carried out by ADDU at its own discretion.

  • AML (Anti Money Laundering): means laws, regulations, and procedures designed to prevent the use of financial systems for the purposes of concealing, disguising, or transforming illegal proceeds derived from criminal activities, financing terrorism, or other illicit activities. As provided in Article 4.1 of these Termes. Users expressly warrant that they are not involved in any activities or transactions that violates AML laws or regulations, and that they will not use the Protocol to facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, or any other illegal or prohibited activities. Users further agree to comply with any applicable AML requirements in their jurisdiction and acknowledge that the Company may take measures to ensure compliance with AML regulations, wherever possible, given the decentralized nature of the Protocol.

  • Crypto assets: means tokens used by Users as a currency and unit of value (coins), such as bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or stablecoins, which aim to maintain a fixed parity with a traditional currency; or tokens with a utility function (utility tokens), granting access rights to products or services offered by the issuer.

  • Connect wallet: means the tab on the Interface available to Users to connect their noncustodial wallet. A non-custodial wallet is a type of cryptocurrency wallet that gives Users full control over their Crypto assets, as they hold the private keys. Unlike custodial wallets, where a third party manages the private keys on behalf of the user, non-custodial wallets allow Users to store, send, and receive Crypto assets without relying on an intermediary. This type of wallet may be considered more secure because it eliminates the risks associated with third-party custodians, but it also requires Users to take responsibility for safeguarding their private keys to avoid losing access to their Crypto assets. As specified below, Usual Labs or any affiliate company may not be liable in such cases where the User loses access to their Crypto assets due to the loss or mismanagement of private keys.

  • Contact address: means the email address to which the User may request information: support@usual.company

  • Interfaces: means the website: https://usual.money and the front end to the Protocol: https://app.usual.money/

  • Jurisdiction: means France, as provided in Article 8.9 of these Terms.

  • Prohibited US Person: means a person who is a resident or national of the United States of America.

  • USD0++: means a token distributed to Users who use USD0 in various ways, such as contributing liquidity or locking USD0 and who would then be distributed Usual Tokens if made available by ADDU.

  • Usual DAO: means the Usual decentralized autonomous organization.

  • Usual Tokens: means the Protocol's governance tokens which may be released by ADDU at its own discretion. Its primary utility lies in empowering Usual Tokens holders to participate directly in the governance processes of the Usual DAO, effectively granting them a say in decision-making and the future direction of the Protocol. This means that Usual Tokens holders may have the opportunity to vote on proposals, decide upon the development roadmap, and contribute to key decisions that shape the Protocol’s evolution. However, such rights do not constitute ownership or equity in the Company or ADDU and may not grant Usual Tokens holders any legal rights to participate in the formal governance of the Company or ADDU, such as shareholder rights.

#### 4.3 Assumption of riskrisks

The Company draws the attention of Users to the risks inherent in the use of crypto assets and blockchain technology. Before using the Protocol, please read this section carefully.

  • Risks inherent to blockchain activities

    • We do not own or control any of the underlying software through which blockchain networks are formed. In general, the underlying software for blockchain networks tends to be open source such that anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute it. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree (i) that we are not responsible for the operation of the underlying software and networks that there exists no guarantee of functionality, security, or availability of such software and networks; and (ii) that digitalcrypto assets are highly volatile because of a range of factors which include, but are not limited to, rate of adoption, speculation, technology changes, security risks, contagion risks, systematic risks, legal and regulatory changes, and factors affecting their supply (such as the mining, minting, or issuing of new tokens, airdrops, the burning of tokens, and blockchain forks).

    • You understand that Ethereum and other blockchain technologies and associated Digital Assetscrypto assets, currencies, or tokens are highly volatile due to many factors including but not limited to adoption, speculation, technology, and security risks. You also acknowledge that the cost of transacting on such technologies is variable and may increase at any time causing an impact on any activities taking place on the Ethereum blockchain. You acknowledge these risks and represent that the Company cannot be held liable for such fluctuations or increased costs.

  • Regulatory risks

    • The Services could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory action, which could impede or limit the ability of Usual Labs to continue to develop, or which could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Services or Ethereum blockchain, including access to the Interface.

  • Risk of information inaccuracy

    • Although it is intended to provide accurate and timely information on the Interface, the Interface or relevant tools may not always be entirely accurate, complete, or current and may also include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. In an effort to continue to provide you with as complete and accurate information as possible, information may be changed or updated from time to time without notice, including, without limitation, information regarding our policies. Accordingly, you should verify all information before relying on it, and all decisions based on information contained on the Interface or relevant tools are your sole responsibility and the Company shall have no liability for such decisions. Links to third-party materials (including, without limitation, websites) may be provided as a convenience but are not controlled by any entity.

    • Non-private data and data storage

    • A widespread belief is that transactions involving blockchains are anonymous. In fact, a central feature of blockchains and thus, blockchain-based transactions, is that they are transparent. Your public key and your wallet address, which you need to buy or sell items on the blockchain, are visible to anyone. To the extent your public key or wallet address can be linked back to you, it would be possible for someone to determine your identity and the crypto assets you own. You therefore acknowledge that your activity relating to using is not private and may be visible to third parties, including on public blockchains.
