Terms of Service
Last updated: September 29, 2026

1. Acceptance of these terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Rug.Tools, including the website, token reports, APIs, share cards, Telegram bot, and any related service (together, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. What Rug.Tools is (and is not)
Rug.Tools is an automated, informational analysis tool. It reads publicly available blockchain and market data for Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Monad and Robinhood Chain and presents an algorithmic summary of visible on-chain signals.
- Nothing on the Service is financial, investment, trading, legal, accounting or tax advice, a recommendation, a solicitation, or an offer to buy or sell any asset.
- Verdicts, ratings, scores, confidence levels and findings are automated interpretations of incomplete data, not statements of fact about a project or its team.
- No scanner can guarantee that a token is safe, that a contract is free of undiscovered risk, or that it can detect future developer intent, off-chain arrangements, social-engineering schemes or actions that have not yet occurred on chain.
- A "healthy", "low risk" or similar result is not an endorsement, certification, audit, or assurance of any kind.
3. Data accuracy and third-party dependencies
The Service depends on third-party data providers and public infrastructure, including but not limited to Helius, Alchemy, DexScreener, GeckoTerminal, GoPlus, CoinMarketCap, Solscan, Etherscan, BscScan, BaseScan, MonadScan and Blockscout, as well as public RPC nodes and block explorers. Data from these sources may be incomplete, delayed, cached, rate-limited, unavailable, mislabelled or simply incorrect, and may change without notice. Rug.Tools does not control these providers, does not verify their output, and makes no representation about it. Where a data module cannot be verified, the Service aims to report it as unavailable or limited rather than infer a result — you should treat any such report as incomplete.
4. You trade entirely at your own risk
Trading digital assets is highly speculative and can result in the total loss of your funds. Any decision you make — to buy, sell, hold, approve, bridge, or interact with any token, contract, wallet or protocol — is your decision alone, made at your sole risk, and is not made in reliance on Rug.Tools. You are responsible for conducting your own research and, where appropriate, obtaining advice from a licensed professional in your jurisdiction.
5. Acceptable use
- Do not scrape, overload, or attempt to circumvent rate limits or access controls.
- Do not resell, redistribute or white-label reports without written permission.
- Do not use the Service to defame, harass, manipulate markets, or mislead others.
- Do not use the Service unlawfully or in breach of sanctions or local regulation.
- Do not present Service output as an audit, certification, or professional advice.
We may suspend or restrict access at any time, without notice, for any reason, including suspected abuse.
6. Service availability
The Service is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uptime, continuity, response times, refresh frequency, or that any feature, chain, module or cached report will remain available. We may modify, suspend, degrade or discontinue any part of the Service, including individual chains or data modules, at any time and without liability.
7. No warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.
8. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RUG.TOOLS, ITS OPERATORS, OWNERS, CONTRIBUTORS, CONTRACTORS AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY TRADING LOSSES, LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF DIGITAL ASSETS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, ITS OUTPUT, ITS UNAVAILABILITY, OR YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY SCAN RESULT — EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) USD $100.
9. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Rug.Tools and its operators, owners, contributors and affiliates from and against any claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your trading or investment decisions, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
10. Third-party links and projects
The Service references tokens, contracts, explorers, exchanges and other third-party sites. Rug.Tools is not affiliated with, does not endorse, and is not responsible for any of them. All trademarks and logos belong to their respective owners. Referencing a token does not imply any relationship with its team.
11. Third-party exchange service (ChangeNOW)
Rug.Tools may provide an interface that lets you request cryptocurrency exchange quotes and create or track exchange orders through ChangeNOW. ChangeNOW is an independent third-party service provider. Rug.Tools is not a cryptocurrency exchange, broker, dealer, money transmitter, custodian, wallet provider, liquidity provider, settlement agent, or counterparty to any exchange transaction made through that feature. Rug.Tools does not hold, receive, control, or transmit the digital assets that you send to a ChangeNOW deposit address.
- Your exchange is subject to ChangeNOW's then-current terms of service, privacy policy, risk disclosures, AML/KYC procedures, geographic restrictions, supported assets and networks, minimum and maximum amounts, fees, rates, refund rules, and other provider requirements. Those third-party terms govern the exchange transaction.
- You are responsible for confirming that use of ChangeNOW and the relevant digital assets is lawful in your jurisdiction and for satisfying any age, identity, sanctions, tax, reporting, source-of-funds, or other legal obligations that apply to you.
- Quotes are informational until accepted by the provider and may change, expire, or become unavailable. Market-rate outcomes may differ from estimates. Fixed-rate transactions remain subject to the provider's time window and conditions.
- You are solely responsible for the asset, blockchain network, amount, destination address, refund address, and any required memo or tag. Blockchain transfers are generally irreversible. An incorrect entry or transfer may result in delay, fees, failed delivery, inability to recover funds, or permanent loss.
- ChangeNOW or its service providers may delay, reject, freeze, investigate, refund, or otherwise restrict a transaction for compliance, fraud-prevention, sanctions, risk, technical, liquidity, or legal reasons. Rug.Tools does not control those decisions and cannot override them.
- Exchange availability, supported routes, rates, liquidity, fees, network fees, slippage, execution time, transaction status, refunds, and support are provided or determined by ChangeNOW, its liquidity providers, relevant blockchains, or other third parties and are not guaranteed by Rug.Tools.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Rug.Tools is not liable for losses, delays, rate changes, failed or incomplete exchanges, unavailable funds, KYC/AML reviews, provider actions, network errors, incorrect addresses or networks, refund costs, taxes, regulatory consequences, or other damages arising out of or related to your use of the ChangeNOW exchange feature. Transaction-specific support, refund, compliance, and dispute requests must be directed to ChangeNOW and should include your ChangeNOW order ID. Nothing in this section limits rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.
12. Intellectual property
The Service's software, design, mascots, branding and report formats are owned by Rug.Tools. Underlying blockchain data is public. You may share individual reports and links for non-commercial purposes with attribution.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes are reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance. See also our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, which are incorporated into these Terms.
14. Severability and mandatory rights
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will stay in full force. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any right or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.
