Legal Disclaimer for the $MUZE Token Project

Last updated: May 22, 2025

The $MUZE token ("MUZE") is a utility token associated with the Muse Project ("the Project"), a decentralized, community-curated art fund that allocates 100% of its transaction fees to support artists, creators, and individuals engaging in creative projects. By participating in or interacting with the Project in any capacity, you agree to the following terms and understandings:

No Investment, Security, or Equity Interest

  1. NOT AN INVESTMENT
    The $MUZE token is not designed or intended to represent an investment contract, security, equity, debt instrument, or any form of ownership or participation in any entity, legal structure, or common enterprise. Participation in the Project is not a financial investment and does not entitle any token holder to any profits, dividends, revenue shares, or similar returns.
  2. NO GUARANTEE OF RETURNS
    There is no promise, guarantee, or expectation of profit or return of any kind—monetary or otherwise—by holding or transacting with $MUZE. Any value attributed to the token by users or third parties is outside the control of the Project or its curators.
  3. NO EQUITY OR GOVERNANCE RIGHTS
    Holding $MUZE does not grant any governance rights, ownership interests, control, or decision-making authority in the Muse Project or in any entity, DAO, or collective associated with it.

Nature of the Project

  1. CREATIVE COMMONS AND GIFT ECONOMY ETHOS
    MUZE is part of a broader initiative to foster a vibrant ecosystem for creative expression. The Project functions on principles of mutual aid, cultural enrichment, and decentralized patronage—not capital gain.
  2. USE OF FUNDS
    All fees generated from token transactions are directed to a common creative fund, which is disbursed to support artistic and creative endeavors. The use of funds is curated by members of the community or designated contributors, and there is no fiduciary duty owed by them to token holders or participants.

No Legal or Financial Advice

  1. The information provided by the Muse Project, its website, documentation, or affiliated communications does not constitute legal, financial, tax, or investment advice. Always consult your own advisors before engaging with any blockchain-based project.

Limited Liability & Indemnity

  1. NO LIABILITY
    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the curators, developers, contributors, and affiliates of the Muse Project shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage of any kind arising from your use of, interaction with, or reliance upon the $MUZE token or associated tools.
  2. INDEMNIFICATION
    You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the curators and contributors from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses—including legal fees—arising out of your use or misuse of the $MUZE token or participation in the Project.

Jurisdictional Considerations

  1. The $MUZE token may not be legally compliant or available in all jurisdictions. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the token and participation in the Project complies with the laws and regulations of your locality.
  2. The Project does not market, offer, or promote the token in jurisdictions where such actions would be unlawful. If you are a citizen or resident of a jurisdiction that prohibits participation in projects like MUZE, you must refrain from accessing or interacting with the token or related interfaces.

Final Notes

This disclaimer may be updated at any time. Continued use of the Project after changes are made constitutes acceptance of those changes. This document does not create any legally binding contract between participants and the Project or its curators.
