2. User Responsibility and Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge and agree:

All blockchain-based technologies, smart contracts, and decentralized applications (“dApps”) are experimental, inherently volatile, and subject to rapid change, technical flaws, vulnerabilities, exploits, and regulatory uncertainty.
Your transactions on blockchains are permanent, irreversible, and publicly visible. You alone are responsible for the management and security of your cryptographic private keys and wallet credentials.
You bear all risks arising from interacting with decentralized protocols, including but not limited to:
- complete or partial loss of digital assets or value;
- sudden changes in market prices or liquidity;
- bugs, malfunctions, hacks, or exploits in smart contracts;
- blockchain forks or governance disputes;
- legal or regulatory enforcement in your jurisdiction.

You expressly acknowledge that Devine Group and Devine OS are not liable for any damages or losses you may incur through your use of blockchain technology, smart contracts, or decentralized networks.

3. No Financial, Legal, or Tax Advice
