Terms of Service

By accessing or using USDC.org (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not access or use the Site.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

USDC.org is an independent educational resource that provides informational guides and content about USDC and stablecoins. The Site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Circle Internet Financial, LLC, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, or any other financial institution.

The Site does not issue, manage, custody, or control any digital assets, including USDC. We do not operate a wallet, exchange, or any financial service.

All content on the Site — including guides, articles, statistics, and other materials — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on the Site constitutes financial, investment, legal, tax, or other professional advice.

You should not make any financial decision based solely on information found on the Site. Always consult a qualified professional before making investment or financial decisions. Cryptocurrency and stablecoins involve risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results.

The Site may contain links to or integrations with third-party services, including but not limited to Coinbase, which allow you to purchase USDC or other digital assets. These third-party services are operated by independent companies and are governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies.

USDC.org does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party services. Your use of any third-party service is at your own risk, and you should review the applicable terms and policies before using them.

Third-party services such as Coinbase may not be available in all countries or jurisdictions. Availability, supported features, and regulatory requirements vary by location and are determined solely by each third-party provider. USDC.org makes no representation that any third-party service is available or appropriate for use in your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to determine whether a service is accessible and lawful for you to use in your location.

Any transactions you conduct through third-party services are solely between you and that third party. USDC.org is not a party to, and bears no liability for, any such transactions.

Some pages on the Site contain affiliate links. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the merchant at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us maintain the Site and continue providing free educational content.

The Site also integrates with third-party onramp services, including Coinbase, that allow you to purchase USDC directly. USDC.org may earn a commission when you complete a purchase through these integrated services at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, recommendations, or reviews. We only recommend products and services that we believe provide genuine value. The presence of an affiliate link or integrated purchase option does not constitute an endorsement beyond our stated recommendation.

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we disclose affiliate and commission-based relationships on any page where they apply. If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, please contact us.

All original content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, and design, is the property of USDC.org and is protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without prior written consent.

Trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Site that belong to third parties (such as "USDC," "Circle," or "Coinbase") remain the property of their respective owners and are used for informational purposes only. Their inclusion does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

When using the Site, you agree not to: (a) use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws; (b) attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or compromise the integrity or security of the Site; (c) use automated systems, bots, or scrapers to access or collect data from the Site without our express written permission; or (d) impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

The Site and all content are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

USDC.org does not warrant that: (a) the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; (b) the information provided on the Site is accurate, complete, or current; or (c) any defects in the Site will be corrected. Any reliance on the content of the Site is at your own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, USDC.org and its operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Site or any content on the Site.

This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not USDC.org has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless USDC.org and its operators, contributors, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any rights of a third party.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the United States.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
