Website displays, charts, token icons, metadata, FAQs, interface labels, wallet descriptions, social posts, informal communications, and third-party displays

Public summaries, charts, dashboards, token metadata, and wallet labels do not amend or override these Product Terms.

5. Prime Pairing With USDV

AEMX is designed to support USDV as its prime quoted and supported pair.

For Assetiko purposes, the primary supported pair is:

AEMX / USDV

USDV refers to Valtorum USD, with public information available at valtorum.com.

Assetiko may display AEMX reference values, indicative values, trading examples, liquidity references, pool references, or pricing information in USDV. Any such display is for informational and product framework purposes only and does not guarantee execution, liquidity, redemption, or price stability.

6. No Responsibility for Non-USDV Pricing

Assetiko does not accept responsibility for AEMX pricing, liquidity, execution, market behavior, price display, slippage, premiums, discounts, conversion values, implied values, or arbitrage outcomes in any pair other than AEMX / USDV.

This includes, without limitation, AEMX traded against:

XRP
RLUSD
USDC
USDT
EUR stablecoins
BTC
ETH
Other issued currencies
Other tracker tokens
Private market tokens
Any unsupported asset, currency, token, or pool

Any AEMX price shown outside the supported AEMX / USDV pair may be incomplete, misleading, manipulated, illiquid, stale, experimental, unofficial, or unrelated to Assetiko's official reference framework.

Users who trade AEMX outside the AEMX / USDV pair do so entirely at their own risk.

7. Non-USDV Pair Warning

Assetiko may not monitor, support, verify, maintain, stabilize, correct, or intervene in non-USDV AEMX pairs unless it chooses to do so in its sole discretion.

Non-USDV pairs may suffer from:

Low liquidity
Thin order books
Artificial pricing
Manipulation
Wash trading
Spoofing
Circular trading
Pool imbalance
Price distortion
Pathfinding errors
False implied valuation
Extreme slippage
Misleading chart data
Unsuitable conversion routes
Unauthorized market making
Unsupported liquidity pools

Users must not rely on non-USDV AEMX pairs as official, supported, reliable, or Assetiko-approved markets.

8. Official Reference Value

Assetiko may publish an official AEMX reference value.

The official reference value may be based on the AEMX methodology, approved pricing source hierarchy, scaling ratio, reference index level, data source, calculation timing, and any other rules determined by Assetiko.

The official reference value is not a guarantee that AEMX can be bought, sold, redeemed, transferred, or traded at that value.

Assetiko may update, delay, correct, restate, suspend, or discontinue publication of the official reference value at any time.

9. Indicative Market Value

Assetiko may display an indicative AEMX market value.

An indicative value may be derived from public data, third-party data, delayed data, proxy data, internal calculations, estimated index movement, or other sources Assetiko considers appropriate.

Indicative values are not official execution prices, redemption values, guaranteed values, fair value determinations, or investment recommendations.

Indicative values may differ from the official reference value and from on-chain AEMX market prices.

10. On-Chain Market Price

AEMX may trade on-chain through order books, AMMs, liquidity pools, peer-to-peer transfers, or other mechanisms.

The on-chain market price is determined by supply, demand, liquidity, spreads, slippage, pathfinding, market maker activity, user activity, pool depth, network conditions, and other market factors.

The on-chain market price may differ materially from the official reference value, indicative market value, or Assetiko's intended reference framework.

Assetiko has no obligation to maintain or defend AEMX market price.

11. No Guaranteed Tracking

Assetiko does not guarantee that AEMX will perfectly track, replicate, mirror, or maintain parity with any reference index, benchmark, methodology, market, official value, indicative value, or USDV pair.

Tracking differences may arise from:

Market volatility
Data delay
Pricing source limitations
Calculation timing
Scaling ratio
Currency treatment
Liquidity
AMM behavior
DEX mechanics
Market maker activity
Spreads
Slippage
Blockchain conditions
Suspicious activity
Unsupported pairs
Regulatory restrictions
Issuer controls
Disruption events
Product modification
Assetiko discretion

Users accept all risk of tracking difference.

12. USDV Dependency and Third-Party Risk

AEMX's prime pairing with USDV does not mean that Assetiko guarantees USDV, controls USDV, redeems USDV, stabilizes USDV, underwrites USDV, or accepts liability for USDV.

USDV is associated with the Valtorum USD framework. Users must review USDV's own terms, risks, issuer details, liquidity, trust line settings, legal status, and public information at valtorum.com.

Assetiko is not responsible for:

USDV issuer risk
USDV liquidity
USDV price stability
USDV depeg risk
USDV transfer restrictions
USDV freeze or clawback features
USDV operational failures
USDV regulatory status
USDV smart contract, ledger, or issuer settings
USDV market maker activity
USDV redemption or non-redemption
USDV-related losses

Using AEMX with USDV involves risks relating to both AEMX and USDV.

13. Unsupported Market Activity

Assetiko may consider the following to be unsupported, suspicious, abusive, manipulative, or harmful market activity:

Creating misleading non-USDV AEMX pools
Using illiquid non-USDV pairs to imply false AEMX pricing
Wash trading AEMX
Spoofing AEMX order books
Circular trading
Manipulating AEMX charts
Creating false reference prices
Creating pools designed to mislead users
Using AEMX to manipulate another token
Using another token to manipulate AEMX
Routing trades through unsupported pairs to distort displayed prices
Coordinated trading designed to create artificial prices
Bot activity designed to exploit low-liquidity AEMX pairs
Attempted price manipulation against non-USDV pairs
Suspicious transfers involving prohibited wallets
Sanctions, fraud, theft, or unlawful use
Activity that may harm Assetiko, AEMX holders, market integrity, or the Assetiko brand

Assetiko may determine suspicious activity in its sole discretion.

14. Freeze Rights

Assetiko or the relevant issuer may freeze, deep freeze, restrict, block, investigate, or otherwise limit AEMX trust lines, balances, transfers, or market activity where it determines that such action is appropriate.

This may include circumstances involving:

Suspicious activity
Manipulation
Abusive trading
Unsupported non-USDV pairs
False pricing
Market distortion
Fraud
Theft
Sanctions risk
Legal risk
Regulatory risk
Court order
Law enforcement request
User eligibility concerns
Misuse of AEMX
Technical risk
Operational risk
Protection of Assetiko
Protection of market integrity
Protection of users
Investigation of any suspected breach of these Product Terms

Assetiko may freeze AEMX in relation to one or more accounts, trust lines, pools, transfers, or other activity if technically available and legally or operationally appropriate.

15. Investigation and Release

If Assetiko freezes or restricts AEMX due to suspicious activity, manipulation, unsupported pair activity, legal concern, regulatory concern, or any other issue, Assetiko may maintain the freeze or restriction until it completes its investigation to its satisfaction.

Release from freeze or restriction may require:

Completion of Assetiko's internal review
User identification
Wallet ownership proof
Transaction explanation
Source of funds review
Sanctions screening
Market activity review
Legal review
Compliance approval
Confirmation that the activity has ceased
Any other information or action requested by Assetiko

Assetiko is not required to release AEMX until it is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that release is appropriate.

Assetiko may refuse release where it determines that legal, regulatory, operational, technical, reputational, or market integrity concerns remain.

16. No Liability for Freeze or Investigation

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Assetiko is not liable for losses arising from any freeze, deep freeze, restriction, investigation, delay, refusal to release, market suspension, pool disruption, liquidity impact, missed trading opportunity, price movement, or inability to transfer AEMX.

Users acknowledge that issuer controls may be used to protect Assetiko, AEMX, market integrity, compliance objectives, or other users.

A decision not to freeze or intervene in one case does not create a duty to act in another case.

A decision to release one account does not create a duty to release any other account.

17. Clawback and Recovery Rights

Where clawback or similar issuer controls are enabled, Assetiko or the relevant issuer may claw back, recover, reverse, or reclaim AEMX where it determines such action is appropriate and technically available.

Clawback may be used for:

Fraud
Theft
Error correction
Sanctions compliance
Court orders
Regulatory requests
Unauthorized issuance
Unauthorized transfers
Restricted person activity
Breach of Product Terms
Market manipulation
Suspicious non-USDV pair activity
Product migration
Product termination
Any other reason Assetiko considers appropriate

Assetiko is not obligated to claw back AEMX in any particular case.

18. Market Integrity Controls

Assetiko may take any action it considers necessary or desirable to preserve AEMX market integrity.

Such actions may include:

Freezing accounts
Deep freezing trust lines
Refusing support

19. Supported Display Currency

Assetiko may display AEMX values primarily in USDV or USDV-equivalent terms.

Any display in other currencies, if shown, is informational only and may be based on third-party or estimated conversion data.

Assetiko does not guarantee the accuracy, availability, or suitability of any non-USDV conversion.

Users are responsible for their own currency conversions and trading decisions.

Before trading AEMX, users must verify:

Correct AEMX issuer
Correct currency code
Correct trust line
Correct trading pair
Correct USDV issuer
Correct order book or AMM pool
Expected output
Slippage
Price impact
Transfer settings
Pathfinding route
Network fees
Wallet permissions

Assetiko is not responsible for user error, wrong-pair trading, fake pools, unsupported pairs, or misleading third-party interfaces.

21. Liquidity Provider Warning

Providing liquidity to AEMX pools carries additional risk.

Liquidity providers may suffer:

Impermanent loss
Pool imbalance
Slippage exposure
Arbitrage loss
Thin liquidity risk
Unsupported pair risk
Pricing distortion
Freeze risk
Investigation risk
Non-USDV pair risk
Incorrect pool selection
AMM fee uncertainty
Market manipulation exposure

Assetiko does not guarantee returns to liquidity providers.

Assetiko may not support, recognize, or protect liquidity provided to non-USDV AEMX pools.

22. Unauthorized Pools

Any person may be able to create a pool, order book, path, or trading route involving AEMX depending on network mechanics and token settings.

The existence of a pool does not mean Assetiko approves it.

The existence of liquidity does not mean Assetiko supports it.

The existence of a price does not mean Assetiko recognizes it.

Only the AEMX / USDV pair is the prime supported pair unless Assetiko expressly identifies another pair as supported in formal documentation.

23. Product Modification

Assetiko may modify AEMX at any time where it determines that modification is appropriate.

Modifications may include changes to:

Unless required by applicable law, Assetiko is not required to obtain holder consent before modifying AEMX.

24. Product Suspension

Suspension may occur due to:

Data failure
Market disruption
Legal concern
Regulatory concern
Suspicious activity
Non-USDV manipulation
USDV disruption
Blockchain issue
Liquidity issue

25. Product Termination

Assetiko may terminate, wind down, archive, migrate, replace, or discontinue AEMX if it determines that continuation is impractical, uneconomic, unlawful, unsupported, risky, technically difficult, commercially undesirable, or otherwise unsuitable.

No holder is guaranteed compensation, redemption, replacement, liquidity, or continued support unless expressly stated in a written AEMX-specific supplement.

26. No Redemption Unless Expressly Stated

AEMX is not redeemable for cash, USDV, XRP, securities, index components, underlying assets, stablecoins, or any other asset unless Assetiko expressly states otherwise in a written AEMX-specific document.

A supported trading pair is not the same as a redemption right.

XRPL transaction fees
AMM fees
DEX spreads

Transfer fees, if configured
