Legal
Terms of Service.
Last updated: Jul 01, 2026
1. The service
These Terms of Service govern your use of the UseCert interface and website. UseCert provides access to holdable stock certificates: synthetic price exposure backed by perp positions and tUSDG margin on Robinhood Chain. The interface is a read and transaction layer over public smart contracts; the contracts themselves run autonomously on chain.
2. Certificates are not shares
Certificates are synthetic instruments. They are backed by on chain perp positions and tUSDG margin, not by custody of shares. Certificates carry no dividends, no voting rights, and no shareholder rights of any kind, and grant no claim on any issuer, exchange, or company referenced by an underlying market.
3. Minting, redemption, and fees
Redemption is never gated and settles at oracle price. Minting may pause automatically when oracle prices are stale or deviate beyond published guard bands; in that case redemption continues at the last good price. Sustained negative funding is absorbed by a per-asset buffer first and, past a published threshold, passes through as a transparent holding fee. All parameters, thresholds, and the live buffer balance are public on chain.
4. Risks
Using the protocol involves risk, including smart contract risk, oracle risk, market risk, and the risk that backing mechanisms behave differently under extreme conditions. Staked tokens can be slashed to make holders whole. You are responsible for understanding these risks before minting, holding, staking, or redeeming. Nothing in the interface constitutes a guarantee of value.
5. Eligibility and acceptable use
You may not use the protocol where synthetic equity exposure is restricted by the laws that apply to you, and you are solely responsible for that determination. You agree not to use the interface for unlawful activity, market manipulation, or attempts to exploit the contracts, the oracle, or other users.
6. No advice and no liability
UseCert is infrastructure, not investment advice. Nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the UseCert contributors are not liable for any losses arising from your use of the interface or the protocol.
7. Protocol disclaimer
Certificates are synthetic instruments backed by on chain perp positions and tUSDG margin. No dividends, no shareholder rights. Not available where synthetic equity exposure is restricted. UseCert is infrastructure, not investment advice.
8. Changes and contact
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the interface after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. For any questions about this document, reach the team on X (x.com/usecert) or Telegram (t.me/usecert).
