2. Services
2.1 Access
Subject to this Agreement and Section 2.7 timely payment of Fees, Superbridge grants Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services during the Subscription Term, solely for Client’s business purposes and for deploying Bridge Interfaces to End Users in accordance with this Agreement.
2.2 Rollies
If Client has subscribed to Rollies, Superbridge will make available a configurable, white-label Bridge Interface accessible to End Users. Client may configure its Bridge Instances through the Dashboard. For managed deployments where Client does not access the Dashboard directly, configuration will be handled by Superbridge on Client’s behalf. The specific features, Bridge Instance limits, and third-party integrations available to Client are determined by the tier subscribed to, as set out in the applicable Order Form and the Superbridge Tier & Usage Schedule incorporated therein, which sets out the usage limits, overage fees, and upgrade mechanics applicable to each tier.
2.3 Widget and Embedded Deployments
Client may embed a Bridge Interface as a widget within Client’s own application or website. Embedded deployments are subject to all obligations in this Agreement applicable to Bridge Interfaces. Client is solely responsible for ensuring that any embedded deployment functions correctly within Client’s application environment and that End Users of the embedded deployment are made aware of and bound by applicable End User Terms.
2.4 API
If Client has subscribed to API access, Client’s use of the API is governed by this Agreement and the API Addendum. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the API Addendum with respect to API access, the API Addendum controls. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Support Addendum with respect to support services, the Support Addendum controls. The Superbridge Tier & Usage Schedule forms part of each Order Form that references it.
2.5 No Delivery of Software
This Agreement is a services agreement. Superbridge will not deliver copies or licenses of the Dashboard or Bridge Services software to Client. Client acquires only the right to access and use the Services as provided hereunder.
2.6 Modifications
Superbridge reserves the right to modify, update, or discontinue features of the Services. Routine updates, bug fixes, security patches, and new feature additions do not require advance notice. Superbridge will provide at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of any material adverse change to the Services (including feature removals, discontinuations, and end-of-life decisions), will not materially diminish the Services during a paid Subscription Term, and will continue to provide support and maintenance for any discontinued Service or material feature for at least six (6) months following discontinuation (or, where required under an applicable reseller agreement, until the end of the then-current Order Terms of affected Order Forms). Where a modification requires Client to make changes to its Bridge Interface or configuration, Client will have sixty (60) days from the date of first notice to implement the required changes (the “Conformance Period”). Superbridge will have no liability for adverse effects resulting from modifications where the required notice was given. Client’s continued use of the Services after the Conformance Period constitutes acceptance of the modification.
2.7 Resale through Authorised Resellers
Where Client procures the Services through an Authorised Reseller: (a) Client's receipt and use of the Resold Services through that Authorised Reseller does not constitute a sublicense, resale, repackaging, replication or circumvention prohibited by Sections 2.1, 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3; (b) the Authorised Reseller and its Servicers may access, configure, manage and utilise the Resold Services on Client's behalf as Authorized Users, and Superbridge will not treat such access as unauthorised third-party access; (c) an agreement between the Authorised Reseller and Client under which Client agrees to be bound by this Agreement satisfies the requirement in Section 5.3 for an individual agreement for each entity that leverages the Bridge Services to interact with End Users, and no separate agreement between Superbridge and Client is required; (d) an Authorised Reseller's bundling or marketing of the Services with its own products or services is permitted and does not constitute replication under Section 5.2 or repackaging or resale under Section 5.3; and (e) no click-through or Dashboard acceptance is effective to bind Client in respect of Resold Services unless the corresponding Order Form has been submitted or countersigned by the Authorised Reseller.
2.8 Support
Superbridge will provide support to Client as specified in the Order Form. Superbridge has no obligation to provide support or technical assistance directly to End Users of Client’s Bridge Interface. Superbridge may, in its sole discretion, provide voluntary assistance to End Users (including through help-centre resources or chat); any such assistance does not create any obligation, warranty, or service level owed to any End User or to Client, and may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time. Client must not represent to End Users that Superbridge is available to provide such support. Client agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide support to its own End Users.
3. Fees and Payment
3.1 Fees
Client agrees to pay the Fees set out in the applicable Order Form. Unless otherwise specified in the Order Form, Fees are due annually in advance. Monthly billing is available on request and may be subject to an additional charge.
3.2 Payment
Client agrees to provide payment via the method specified in the Order Form or Dashboard, which may include payment through the Stripe integration. Payment must be processed before a Bridge Instance is activated. In the event of a failed payment, Client’s access to the Services may be suspended until payment is successfully processed. All Fees are non-refundable except as expressly set out in this Agreement.
3.3 Taxes
Fees are exclusive of all applicable taxes, levies, and duties. Client is solely responsible for all taxes imposed by any taxing authority on amounts payable under this Agreement, excluding taxes on Superbridge’s net income.
3.4 Late Payment
Overdue amounts will accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, from the due date until actual payment. Superbridge reserves the right to suspend the Services if Client’s account is overdue by more than thirty (30) days following written notice.
3.5 Resold Services: (a) Fees are payable to Superbridge by the Authorised Reseller under its Reseller Agreement and Sections 3.1 to 3.4 do not apply to Client except to the extent Client agrees to pay any Fees to Superbridge directly; (b) activation of a Bridge Instance is not conditioned on receipt of payment from Client; (c) Superbridge will not suspend, throttle, degrade or terminate the Resold Services by reason of non-payment except where the Authorised Reseller has failed to pay undisputed amounts when due, and then only following expiry of the cure period in the Reseller Agreement and at least ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice to the Authorised Reseller and Client; and (d) any refund, rebate or credit in respect of Resold Services is payable to the Authorised Reseller.
4. No Revenue Share
Client acknowledges that Superbridge derives income through its own commercial arrangements, including revenue share agreements with interoperability and bridge providers. Client is not entitled to share in any income or revenue generated by Superbridge through the Dashboard or Bridge Services. Client’s compensation for any services is limited solely to what is expressly set out in the applicable Order Form.
5. Restrictions and Client Responsibilities
5.1 General Acceptable Use
Client will use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with this Agreement and the Documentation. Without limiting the foregoing, Client will not:
- sublicense, resell, or make the Services available to any third party other than End Users in accordance with this Agreement (and, in respect of Resold Services, other than as permitted by Section 2.7);
- use the Services to violate any applicable law or regulation, including sanctions laws, anti-money laundering laws, data protection laws, and securities laws;
- interfere with or disrupt the integrity, security, or performance of the Services, Dashboard, or any underlying Protocol;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services, Dashboard, or any related systems or networks;
- use the Services to facilitate transactions for or on behalf of any person or entity in a Restricted Jurisdiction;
- defeat, avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or otherwise circumvent any protection mechanisms for the Dashboard or Bridge Services;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, or organizational form from the Dashboard or Bridge Services; or
- remove or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on or in the Services.
A violation of any of the above is grounds for immediate suspension or termination of Client’s access to the Services.
5.2 No Replication of Superbridge Services
Client’s other applications, domains, or products must not replicate or substantially recreate the products or services offered by Superbridge, including without limitation the Bridge Services, the Dashboard, or any Bridge Interface functionality. This restriction does not prevent Client from operating its own bridge products that are independent of and do not use the Bridge Services. This Section does not restrict an Authorised Reseller's marketing, bundling or resale of the Services in accordance with Section 2.7.
5.3 No Resale or Circumvention
Client must not, through its applications, domains, products, or otherwise, repackage or resell the Dashboard or Bridge Services or any part thereof. Client must not use or assist any third party in using the Dashboard in a way that circumvents the requirement for an individual agreement for each entity that leverages the Bridge Services to interact with End Users. Client must not use the Dashboard or Bridge Services in any manner that does or could potentially undermine their security or integrity. Nothing in this Section restricts the resale of the Services by an Authorised Reseller, or Client's receipt of Resold Services, in accordance with Section 2.7.
5.4 Bridge Interface Responsibility
Responsibility for each Bridge Interface is allocated as follows: (a) Superbridge is responsible for hosting, operating, and maintaining the hosted Bridge Interface, the Dashboard, transaction indexing, and the routing services, including implementing the branding, themes, and configuration provided by Client; (b) Client is responsible for: (i) the branding, content, and configuration choices it provides and approves (including their accuracy, legality, and non-infringement, notwithstanding that Superbridge performs the implementation); (ii) the environment of any application or website in which Client embeds a Bridge Interface widget; (iii) the legal compliance of Client’s deployment and use of the Services; (iv) the native canonical bridge contracts of Client’s chain, which Client (and not Superbridge) owns and operates; and (v) any third-party protocol deployments or configurations on or for Client’s chain (including interoperability or messaging deployments such as Hyperlane or LayerZero, and sequencer or data-availability arrangements); and (c) third-party bridge providers, liquidity protocols, relayers, and other third-party products remain subject to Section 9 and the exclusions in the Support Addendum. Without limiting the foregoing, Client is solely responsible for ensuring that its Bridge Interface content:
- ensuring that its Bridge Interface does not violate or infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party;
- ensuring that its Bridge Interface is not offensive, profane, obscene, libelous, or otherwise illegal;
- ensuring that its Bridge Interface does not contain or introduce malicious software into the Dashboard or any Service Data;
- ensuring that its Bridge Interface is not designed for or used for spamming End Users; and
- ensuring that its Bridge Interface does not violate any applicable law or third-party right.
5.5 Service Data Obligations
To the extent Client’s Bridge Interface transmits Service Data outside the Dashboard, Client represents and warrants that it has notified all End Users that their Service Data will be transmitted outside the Bridge Interface and that Superbridge is not responsible for the privacy, security, or integrity of such data. Client further represents and warrants that neither Client nor its Bridge Interface will, without appropriate prior user consent or as required by applicable law: (a) modify Service Data in a manner that adversely affects its integrity; (b) disclose Service Data to any third party; or (c) use Service Data for any purpose other than providing the Bridge Interface functionality to End Users. Client will maintain and handle all Service Data in accordance with privacy and security measures reasonably adequate to preserve its confidentiality and security, and in compliance with all applicable privacy laws and regulations.
5.6 End User Compliance
Client is responsible for its End Users’ use of the Services. Client must:
- ensure that each End User is bound by terms of service no less protective of Superbridge’s interests than the End User Terms, including with respect to assumption of risk, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and the prohibition on use by persons in Restricted Jurisdictions;
- disclose to End Users that wallet addresses may be subject to compliance screening using industry-standard monitoring tools (including TRM) and that Superbridge may decline to process transactions involving flagged addresses;
- maintain a privacy policy that accurately describes Client’s collection, processing, and use of End User data in connection with the Services;
- not represent to End Users that Superbridge is available to provide support or technical assistance with Client’s Bridge Interface; and
- cooperate with Superbridge in responding to any claim, dispute, complaint, or regulatory inquiry involving End Users’ use of Client’s Bridge Interface.
5.7 Restricted Jurisdictions
Client represents and warrants that it is not organized, resident, or located in, and will not knowingly make the Services available to End Users located in, any of the following jurisdictions (each, a “Restricted Jurisdiction”): Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Lebanon, North Korea, the Republic of the Congo, Russia, Syria, Yemen, or the occupied territories of Ukraine (including the Crimea, Donetsk Oblast, and Luhansk Oblast). Superbridge implements technical controls designed to restrict access from Restricted Jurisdictions as part of the hosted Services (without warranting that such controls are effective in all cases). Client must not circumvent, disable, or interfere with such controls (including in any embedded deployment), must not direct or target marketing of its Bridge Interface at Restricted Jurisdictions, and must implement reasonable measures within its own control to support these restrictions.
5.8 Compliance with Laws
Client is solely responsible for ensuring that its use of the Services, and its deployment of bridge or swap functionality to End Users, complies with all applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction where Client operates or where its End Users are located, including without limitation anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws, data protection laws, financial services regulations, and any licensing or registration requirements for operating a virtual asset service. Superbridge makes no representation that the Services are appropriate or legally available for use in any particular jurisdiction.
5.9 No Misrepresentation of Relationship
Client may brand its Bridge Interface with its own marks and identity. Client must not misrepresent its relationship with Superbridge, claim to be affiliated with or endorsed by Superbridge in any inaccurate manner, or make any representations about the Services that are inconsistent with Superbridge’s Documentation or public statements.

Superbridge shall have, and Client hereby grants to Superbridge, a royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, irrevocable, and perpetual license to implement, use, modify, commercially exploit, and incorporate into any of Superbridge’s products or services any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, feedback, or other information provided by Client relating to the Bridge Services or Dashboard. Any such feedback shall be deemed non-confidential and Superbridge shall have no obligation or compensation to Client in connection with its use of such feedback. This Section does not apply to feedback provided by an Authorised Reseller or its Servicers, the treatment of which is governed by the applicable Reseller Agreement.
7.4 Usage Data
Superbridge may collect and use Usage Data to operate, maintain, improve, and develop the Services. Usage Data does not identify Client or individual End Users.
7.5 AI/ML Training
Superbridge may use aggregated or de-identified Service Data and Usage Data to operate, maintain, and improve the Services. Superbridge will not use Customer Data, or any Service Data in a form that identifies Client or any End User, to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
8. Confidentiality
8.1 Obligations
Each party agrees to: (a) keep the other party’s Confidential Information confidential using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but not less than reasonable care; (b) use the other party’s Confidential Information only as necessary to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement; and (c) not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any third party without prior written consent, except to employees, contractors, and professional advisors who need to know it and are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those in this Section.
8.2 Exclusions

9. Disclaimer of Warranties
Superbridge warrants that the Services, as hosted and operated by Superbridge, will materially conform to the Documentation. Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty is, at Superbridge’s option, re-performance or correction of the affected Services or a credit against future Fees. This warranty does not apply to the Protocol, any blockchain network, the native bridge contracts of Client’s chain, third-party deployments on or for Client’s chain, or any third-party products, protocols, or services.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THIS SECTION 9, ALL ASPECTS OF THE SERVICES AND THE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING ALL SERVER AND NETWORK COMPONENTS, ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. SUPERBRIDGE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SUPERBRIDGE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES OR DASHBOARD WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER MALICIOUS SOFTWARE. NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE OBTAINED FROM SUPERBRIDGE OR THROUGH THE DASHBOARD OR BRIDGE SERVICES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
SUPERBRIDGE DOES NOT OWN OR CONTROL THE PROTOCOL. SUPERBRIDGE MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE PROTOCOL’S AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, PERFORMANCE, OR CONTINUED OPERATION.
Superbridge does not endorse, verify, or assume any responsibility for any third-party bridge providers, DEX liquidity sources, interoperability protocols, wallet providers, or other third-party services accessible through or in connection with the Services. Client’s use of any such third-party services is at its own risk.
Superbridge applies TRM monitoring to transactions processed through the Bridge Services, which may include TRM Labs, Chainalysis, ZeroShadow, and other providers. Such screening is provided for Superbridge’s own compliance and risk management purposes and does not constitute a compliance service for Client. Superbridge does not warrant that its screening will identify all problematic transactions or actors, and Client remains solely responsible for its own compliance obligations.
10. Limitation of Liability
10.1 Exclusion of Consequential Damages

10.2 Aggregate Liability Cap
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SUPERBRIDGE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO CLIENT FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY CLIENT TO SUPERBRIDGE OR (IN RESPECT OF RESOLD SERVICES) THE GREATER OF SUCH FEES AND THE TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID TO SUPERBRIDGE BY THE AUTHORISED RESELLER IN RESPECT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED TO CLIENT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

10.5 Basis of Bargain
The parties acknowledge that the limitations of liability in this Section reflect a reasonable allocation of risk and form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties. Superbridge would not have entered into this Agreement absent these limitations.
11. Indemnification
11.1 By Client
Client will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Superbridge and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents (“Superbridge Parties”) from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) (“Losses”) arising out of or related to: (a) Client’s breach of this Agreement; (b) Client’s or its End Users’ use of the Services in violation of applicable law; (c) any claim brought by an End User arising from Client’s deployment of the Services; or (d) Client’s negligence or willful misconduct.
11.2 By Superbridge
Superbridge will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Client from and against any Losses arising from any third-party claim that the Services, as provided by Superbridge and used by Client in accordance with this Agreement, infringe any third-party intellectual property right, provided that Client: (a) promptly notifies Superbridge in writing of the claim; (b) grants Superbridge sole control over the defense and settlement; and (c) provides reasonable cooperation at Superbridge’s expense. Superbridge has no indemnification obligation for claims arising from Client’s modifications, Client’s combination with third-party products, or Client’s use other than as permitted by this Agreement.
11.3 Procedure
The indemnifying party’s obligations are conditioned on the indemnified party: (a) providing prompt written notice of the claim; (b) granting the indemnifying party sole control over defense and settlement (provided that the indemnifying party may not settle any claim that imposes liability on the indemnified party without its prior written consent); and (c) providing reasonable cooperation at the indemnifying party’s expense.
12. Release of Claims
Client waives and releases the Superbridge Parties from claims, whether known or unknown, to the extent arising out of: (a) the Protocol or any blockchain network, sequencer, or data-availability layer; (b) the native canonical bridge contracts of Client’s chain; (c) third-party protocol deployments or configurations on or for Client’s chain; or (d) third-party bridge providers, liquidity protocols, relayers, wallets, or other third-party products or services. This release applies to claims based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory and survives termination of this Agreement. This release does not apply to claims arising from the Services as hosted and operated by Superbridge, which are governed by Sections 9 to 11.
13. Term and Termination
13.1 Term
This Agreement commences on the date Client first accepts it and continues for the initial Subscription Term specified in the Order Form. Unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days before the end of the then-current Subscription Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive periods equal to the initial Subscription Term. In respect of Resold Services, the Subscription Term is coterminous with the applicable Order Form and does not renew automatically, unless otherwise stated in such Order Form; renewal is effected only by the terms of such Order Form or a new or renewed Order Form submitted by the Authorised Reseller.
13.2 Termination for Cause
Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately on written notice if the other party: (a) materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice; or (b) becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes subject to bankruptcy or similar proceedings.
13.3 Termination for Convenience
Superbridge may terminate this Agreement for any reason on ninety (90) days’ written notice to Client. In the event of termination by Superbridge for convenience, Superbridge will refund Client a pro-rated portion of any prepaid Fees for the unused portion of the current Subscription Term. Client may terminate this Agreement for convenience on ninety (90) days’ written notice; no refund will be provided for prepaid Fees.
13.4 Effect of Termination
On expiry or termination for any reason: (a) all rights and licences granted to Client under this Agreement will immediately cease; (b) Client must promptly cease all use of the Services and de-provision any End User access; (c) each party will promptly and automatically return or securely destroy the other party’s Confidential Information in accordance with Section 8.4; and (d) termination does not relieve Client of any obligation to pay Fees accrued prior to the effective date of termination.
With respect to bridge or swap transactions in progress at the time of termination, to the extent Superbridge performs completion or finalization steps on Client’s behalf (including Auto-Relay routes under the API Addendum), Superbridge will complete any such steps initiated before the effective date of termination. For thirty (30) days following termination, Superbridge will (a) continue to make available transaction-status information for transfers initiated before termination, and (b) on request, provide Client with an export of its Customer Data (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Service Data, Usage Data, and Superbridge’s indexing systems). Subject to the foregoing, on-chain settlement occurs on the applicable bridge contracts independently of Superbridge, and Superbridge has no further obligation to complete or monitor in-flight transactions and no liability for losses arising from incomplete transactions after the effective date of termination.
13.5 Survival
Sections 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.4, 13.5, 14, 15, 16, and 17 will survive termination or expiry of this Agreement.
14. Data Protection and Privacy
Superbridge will implement and maintain commercially reasonable security measures to protect Service Data and Customer Data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. In the event of a data breach affecting Service Data or Customer Data, Superbridge will notify Client promptly as required by applicable law.

16.2 Arbitration Agreement
Please read the following arbitration agreement carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Superbridge and limits the manner in which you can seek relief.
• Applicability. Any dispute, claim, or request for relief relating in any way to this Agreement or to any aspect of the relationship between the parties will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights. This arbitration agreement applies to all disputes that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version.
• Rules and Forum. This arbitration agreement is governed by the laws of Singapore, including the International Arbitration Act 1994. To begin arbitration, a party must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing the dispute to [email protected]. The arbitration will be administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) in accordance with the SIAC Arbitration Rules in force at the commencement of the arbitration, which rules are deemed incorporated by reference. Where eligible, the parties may agree to the SIAC Expedited Procedure. The seat of arbitration will be Singapore. The language of the arbitration will be English. The arbitration may be conducted by telephone, written submissions, or in person at a mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
• Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to determine the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement and to resolve any dispute related to its interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities of the parties and may award monetary damages and any non-monetary remedy available under applicable law. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding. No arbitration award will have preclusive effect in any dispute with a party not named in the arbitration.
• Fee Allocation. Each party is responsible for its own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and applicable law provide otherwise. Costs of the arbitration will be allocated in accordance with the applicable SIAC Rules.
