11.3 No off-chain interface fee for Integrated Staking. Stakely does not charge an off-chain interface fee for using Integrated Staking, unless explicitly stated otherwise for a specific Network or feature.
12. Staking Insurance Program
12.1 Program nature; no regulated insurance. The Staking Insurance Program is a reimbursement program offered by Stakely to provide limited coverage for certain Eligible Slashing Events affecting eligible Stakely validators. The Program is not an insurance product issued by a regulated insurer, does not constitute a guarantee, and is provided on a best-efforts basis subject to the conditions and exclusions below.
12.2 What the Program may cover. Subject to eligibility and exclusions, the Program is intended to cover certain slashing-related losses arising from: (a) validator downtime resulting in protocol penalties; and (b) double-signing events; and © other slashing events, but only where the slash incident is solely and exclusively caused by poor operation or management by Stakely’s team.
12.3 Eligible validators. A validator is eligible only if, at the time of the slash incident: (a) it is operated under the Stakely brand and infrastructure; and (b) it has a validator commission of 1% or higher; and © it has been operating with such commission for at least 30 days prior to the slash incident; and (d) the relevant blockchain or protocol does not already provide its own slash insurance or reimburse such losses through governance proposals; and (e) the relevant coin has a market value and listing sufficient to calculate losses in a reasonably objective manner.
12.4 Eligible delegators and minimum loss threshold. The Program applies to Users who delegated to an eligible Stakely validator and suffered losses valued at USD 10 or more, as determined by Stakely in accordance with this section. Losses below USD 10 are generally excluded due to administrative costs, although Stakely may act discretionarily in exceptional cases.
12.5 Loss valuation methodology. To calculate losses from a slash incident, Stakely will use the USD value of the relevant coin at the time of the slash incident, using a reasonable public market reference. Where feasible, Stakely may use CoinGecko as the reference source for the time-of-slash valuation.
12.6 Key exclusions. The Program does not cover slash penalties or losses arising from: (a) widespread slash incidents affecting more than 25% of the network, whether calculated by total stake or number of validators; (b) external code errors, including slash incidents caused by errors in code developed by official validator software development teams that are not related to Stakely; © consensus issues, including slash incidents caused by lack of consensus due to sybil-type attacks; or (d) any event where Stakely reasonably determines the incident was not solely and exclusively caused by Stakely’s poor operation or management.
12.7 Refund process; timelines; communications. If Stakely determines that a slash incident meets the criteria for coverage: (a) Stakely will prepare refund details for affected accounts within a maximum period of 30 calendar days; (b) Stakely will communicate the refund details and refund method through Stakely’s official communication channels (including, where applicable, X/Twitter and Telegram); © delegators will have 5 days from publication to validate the list or claim discrepancies; (d) after the validation period, no further claims or modifications will be accepted, and Stakely will process refunds accordingly.
12.8 Form of reimbursement. Reimbursements, if any, will be made in a manner determined by Stakely (for example on-chain transfers) and may be subject to operational, compliance, and sanctions constraints. Stakely may require information reasonably necessary to process reimbursement and to comply with applicable law.
12.9 Funding source; no promise of pool size. Stakely may fund reimbursements from the Insurance Pool and/or other internal resources. Stakely does not guarantee the value, sufficiency, or continued existence of any Insurance Pool, and the Program does not create an obligation to maintain a specific pool size or a minimum dollar amount.
12.10 Sole remedy for covered events. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Program is the sole and exclusive remedy for Eligible Slashing Events that are covered under this section.
12.11 Disputes. Any disputes relating to the Program are subject to the Governing Law and Jurisdiction clause in these Terms. If any external page or communication references a different forum, these Terms prevail.
12.12 Changes or termination. Stakely may modify, suspend, or terminate the Program at any time by updating these Terms and/or the Program description on the Website. Changes will not affect reimbursements that Stakely has already expressly confirmed in writing (including via official channels) for a specific incident.
13. Payments and Third-Party Payment Providers
13.1 Third-party payment providers. Some Services (including Nodes as a Service) may require payment. Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers (for example MoonPay) and may be subject to additional terms, identity checks, fees, and compliance procedures required by those providers.
13.2 No control. Stakely does not control third-party payment providers and is not responsible for their services, availability, or acts and omissions.
