Terms of Use & Privacy Policy
Please read these terms carefully before using Owl1. By entering the app you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to everything below.
Terms of Use
What Owl1 is
Owl1 is an independent, non-custodial front-end for the o1 Launchpad on Base (a.k.a. Base chain, chain id 8453). It routes your swaps to permissionless token pools and injects its referral wallet to capture a referral fee.
- Not affiliated. Owl1 is not affiliated with Tether, o1, Coinbase, Base or any token issuer.
- Not a custodian. Owl1 never holds your funds and never signs transactions on your behalf. Every transaction is reviewed and signed in your own wallet.
- Not financial advice. Nothing on Owl1 constitutes investment, legal or tax advice.
Eligibility
You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction and legally permitted to enter into this agreement. You are responsible for complying with the laws of your country, state or locality, including any sanctions, export-control or securities-law restrictions that may apply to permissionless token trading.
Risks of using Owl1
Permissionless tokens traded through Owl1 may have no utility or value. Prices are extremely volatile and you could lose the entire amount you put in. Risks include, without limitation:
- Total loss. Most launched tokens lose value. You can lose 100% of what you trade.
- Immutability. Contracts deployed on Base cannot be paused, reversed or upgraded by Owl1 once live.
- Smart-contract risk. Underlying protocols (Uniswap V4, Permit2, Universal Router, o1 Launchpad) may contain bugs or exploits.
- Network & gas risk. Base congestion, failed transactions, gas-price spikes and third-party RPC failures can cause losses.
- Phishing & impersonation. Anyone can deploy a token called anything. Always verify the contract on basescan.org before interacting.
Your responsibilities
You are solely responsible for:
- Securing your wallet. Keep your seed phrase and private keys safe. Owl1 cannot recover access to your wallet.
- Every transaction you sign. Review calldata, token addresses and amounts before approving.
- Tax obligations. You are responsible for reporting and paying any taxes due on your activity.
- Verifying contracts. Always cross-check the deployed contract on basescan.org before trading.
No warranty & disclaimer
Owl1 is provided “as is” and “as available”, without any warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure or that defects will be corrected.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the maintainers and contributors of Owl1 shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, tokens, data or funds, arising out of or related to your use of Owl1 — including failed deployments, failed swaps, gas costs, front-running, MEV, or third-party failures — whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence) or any other legal theory, and whether or not advised of the possibility of such damages.
You use Owl1 entirely at your own risk.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the maintainers and contributors of Owl1 from any claim, demand, action, loss or damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your breach of these terms or your misuse of the service.
Changes to the service & terms
Owl1 is in beta. Features, fees and the UI may change at any time without notice. We may update these terms; continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The current version is always the one published at this URL.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the relevant Owl1 operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the competent courts of that jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by law.
Privacy Policy
Data we collect
Owl1 is designed to collect as little as possible:
- Local consent flag. A single localStorage entry (owl1:terms-accepted-v1) records that you accepted these terms. It never leaves your browser.
- Wallet address. When you connect a wallet, your address is sent to Owl1's server alongside swap requests.
- Pseudonymous analytics. If enabled, Google Analytics 4 measures aggregated, cookie-less traffic — and only AFTER you accept the terms gate.
- Server logs. Standard request logs (timestamp, IP, user-agent) are kept briefly for abuse protection and debugging.
Owl1 never asks for, and does not want, your name, email, phone number, seed phrase or private keys.
How we use data
We use the data above strictly to: operate and improve the service, prevent abuse and fraud, and (if enabled) understand aggregate usage. We do not sell your data.
On-chain transparency
Every swap you make is a public transaction on Base. The amount, the tokens, your wallet address and the contract you interact with are permanently visible to anyone. This is a property of the blockchain, not a choice by Owl1, and cannot be undone.
Third parties
Owl1 routes through third-party protocols and services over which we have no control, including: the o1 Launchpad, Uniswap V4 pools, Permit2 and Universal Router smart contracts, your wallet provider, Base block producers, RPC providers and (if enabled) Google Analytics. Each has its own privacy practices. We encourage you to review them.
Cookies & local storage
Owl1 uses browser localStorage (not cookies) for preferences such as language, sidebar state and your consent flag. We do not set advertising cookies. If you enable analytics, GA4 may set its own cookies; you can block or clear them in your browser.
Your choices
You can: decline or withdraw consent by clearing the owl1:terms-accepted-v1 entry in your browser, disconnect your wallet at any time, block analytics with a content blocker, and clear localStorage to reset all preferences.
Children's privacy
Owl1 is not directed at anyone under 18 (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has used Owl1, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Security
We follow industry practices to protect the service, but no system is perfectly secure. You are responsible for protecting your wallet and your devices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “last updated” date above. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
