Terms and Conditions
Last updated: January 2026
Effective Date: These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) are effective as of (i) the date on which you electronically accept these Terms, or (ii) the first date on which you access or use any Integration Solution.
BY ACCESSING THE WIDGET CONFIGURATOR, ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, RECEIVING AN API KEY, GENERATING AN EMBED CODE, OR INTEGRATING THE AURORA SWAP WIDGET INTO ANY APPLICATION OR WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THESE TERMS.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO ACCESS OR USE ANY OF OUR INTEGRATION SOLUTIONS AND SHOULD NOT USE OUR INTEGRATION SOLUTIONS.
PARTIES AND PURPOSE
This Agreement is entered into between Aurora Labs Limited ("Aurora", “we”, “us”) and the Integrator ("Integrator", “you”). These Terms govern your access to and use of the Aurora Swap Widget, the Widget Configurator, related APIs and SDKs, and other tooling (collectively, the “Integration Solutions”) enabling interaction with the NEAR Intents Protocol.
DEFINITIONS
Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalised terms have the meanings set out below:
“API” - the application programming interface (including any SDKs, keys and documentation) that we make available for the purpose of integrating the Integration Solution functionalities into Your Platform.
“API Integration” - an integration effected using the API.
“Confidential Information” - any non-public information, in any form, disclosed by one party (“Discloser”) to the other (“Recipient”) that is designated confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential, including the content of these Terms, non public technical information, business plans, financial data and End-User data.
Configurator: The web-based tool provided by Aurora to customize the Widget's appearance and generate implementation code.
“End User” - a person that accesses the Underlying Technology functionalities via the Aurora Swap Widget integrated into Your Platform.
“Infrastructure Fee" - the fee that Aurora retains to cover operational and infrastructure costs. This fee is automaticaly deducted from the Partner Fee pool and applied uniformly across all Integrators (subject to public volume tiers). The Integrator is responsible for understanding and accepting this fee structure.
Near Intents Protocol - means the decentralized universal settlement protocol using JSON-structured requests processed by competing and compatible solvers to execute cross-chain and off-chain interactions and transactions leveraging one or more component(s) of the NEAR technology stack, enabling AI-driven automation and seamless actions (including asset transfers) across multiple blockchains, known as “NEAR Intents”, further details of which can be found at https://docs.near-intents.org/near-intents;
“Partner Fee” – The gross fee amount designated and configured solely by the Integrator via the Configurator to be applied to a transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Integrator acknowledges that they have sole discretion over the setting of this fee, subject to any technical floors or caps set forth in the Fee Policy Schedule.
“Net Partner Fee” – The residual portion of the Partner Fee actually collected and settled in respect of a Qualified Transaction, calculated as:
Net Partner Fee = Partner Fee−Infrastructure Fee
The Net Partner Fee represents the final amount due to the Integrator, and the Platform shall have no obligation to remit any portion of the Infrastructure Fee.
"API Key" - The unique, non-transferable alphanumeric identifier assigned to the Integrator upon successful registration and email authentication via the Widget Configurator. The Integrator is solely responsible for the security of its API Key. Any transaction processed using the Integrator's API Key shall be deemed to have been authorized by the Integrator, and the Platform shall have no liability for an unauthorized access resulting from the compromise of said Key.
Sanctions Laws” means any economic, financial, or trade sanctions, embargoes, restrictive measures, or similar laws or regulations administered, enacted, or enforced by any relevant governmental authority, including, without limitation, the United Nations Security Council, the United States government (including the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)), the European Union, His Majesty’s Treasury of the United Kingdom, and any other applicable sanctions authority.
“Qualified Transaction” - means a transaction that:
(a) originates from Your Platform;
(b) correctly includes Your API Key and fee parameters;
(c) is submitted for settlement via the Integration Solutions; and
(d) results in the collection of fees.
For purposes of fee calculations:
If a Qualified Transaction is blocked by a Third Party Service KYT screening before settlement, no fee is collected by You, but the transaction may be re-attempted.
If a Qualified Transaction is settled but later identified as violating Sanctions Laws, you shall refund collected fees within thirty (30) days.
A transaction shall not be deemed a Qualified Transaction if it is subsequently determined to have violated Sanctions Laws or AML regulations.
“Term” - the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until terminated in accordance with Section 15.
“ETH” - the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain.
“Near” - the native cryptocurrency in Near blockchain.
Widget: The front-end React component or iframe provided by Aurora to enable Integrator to permit its End-Users to interact with the NEAR Intents Protocol.
Widget Configurator: the web-based tool used to customize the Widget and generate integration code, including Fee Parameters.
“Widget Integration” - an integration effected using the Widget.
“Your Platform” - means any digital interface where you have configured the Widget using your API Key. If you permit third parties to access the Widget on your platform, you remain fully responsible for their compliance with these Terms.

Comply with all applicable data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.);
Maintain an accurate and comprehensive privacy policy;
Obtain proper user consent where required;
Not share End User personal data with Aurora unless explicitly required by law.
For our Privacy Policy please check XX.

Addressing End User complaints, inquiries, and disputes;
Handling refund or dispute resolution requests.
You will not direct End Users to Aurora for matters within your control or responsibility.
OUR OBLIGATIONS
Provision of Integration Solutions. We will make the Integration Solution(s) available on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. We make no warranties regarding uninterrupted uptime, absence of bugs or errors, price execution by solvers, suitability for any particular purpose.
ONBOARDING AND ACCESS FLOW
Acceptance of these Terms is the sole prerequisite for access to the Integration Solutions.
Issuance of an API Key:
is purely technical;
does not constitute approval, endorsement, or authorization;
does not create a partnership, agency, or joint venture.
FEES
Partner Fee
Setting the Fee: As the Integrator, you are solely responsible for determining your "Partner Fee." Aurora does not set this fee. You will set this fee using Aurora's Widget Configurator tool. The full Partner Fee will be programmatically routed to the wallet address associated with the Integrator’s API Key from a Qualified Transaction.
Infrastructure Fee
In consideration for the license to use the Integration Solutions, the Integrator shall pay Aurora a technology Infrastructure Fee for running and maintaining the underlying infrastructure for the Widget.
The Infrastructure Fee is automatically deducted by the smart contract from the Partner Fee (specifically, the Net Partner Fee) after a successful swap (Qualified Transaction) is completed. This Infrastructure Fee is not charged directly to the end-user, but from You.
As an Infrastructure Fee, X percent (X%) of your Partner Fee.
Fees under this section are not accumulated or held. Distribution occurs automatically within the same transaction. The Integrator's share is routed directly to the wallet address associated with their API Key.
Nature of Infrastructure Fee. The Infrastructure Fee is compensation for Aurora's provision of software, technical infrastructure, and related services. It is not a commission, brokerage fee, revenue share, or participation in transaction proceeds. Aurora does not participate in, execute, intermediate, or profit from the underlying asset exchange. The fee calculation methodology (as a percentage of Partner Fee) is used for convenience and commercial alignment, not as an indicator of any transactional role.
You accept and acknowledge that the Infrastructure Fee covers:
Hosting and operation of the Configurator and Widget;
Technical support and updates;
API access and maintenance and infrastructure cost;
Widget maintenance.
Tiered Pricing. Aurora may apply public, objective, volume-based tiers to its infrastructure allocation, measured on a rolling basis. No individual, discretionary, or client-specific trading discounts are permitted.
Discounts. Integrators may customize pricing (e.g., $0 fee for specific stablecoin pairs), provided they do not reward trading activity in a manner that violates anti-manipulation rules.
Transparency. Integrators must clearly disclose all fees to End Users before any Order is submitted.
API Key Requirement: For the smart contract to attribute the Net Partner Fee, the Integrator’s valid API Key must be correctly embedded in the transaction metadata.
Attribution Failure: If a transaction is submitted without a valid API Key or with incorrect metadata, the smart contract will be unable to identify the Integrator. In such cases, the Integrator Fee will not be collected or may be treated as a protocol-level surplus. The Integrator acknowledges that such fees are unrecoverable.
Tax Obligations: All fees are exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT) or similar indirect taxes. Where VAT applies, it shall be accounted for by the Integrator under the reverse-charge mechanism, where applicable. Integration Solutions may not be available or appropriate for use in your jurisdiction. By accessing or using any of our Integration Solutions, you agree that you are solely and entirely responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations that may apply to you. Specifically, your use of our Integration Solutions may result in various tax consequences, such as income or capital gains tax, value-added tax, goods and services tax, or sales tax in certain jurisdictions.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Ownership: Integrator acknowledges that Aurora owns all rights, titles, and interests in the Widget UI/UX and the Configurator. Third Parties own the NEAR Intents Protocol, 1Click Swap Service, and related trademarks.
No Transfer: Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as a transfer of any Intellectual Property rights from Aurora or third- Parties to the Integrator.
COMPLIANCE AND SECURITY
Transaction Screening: The underlying infrastructure includes automated KYT (Know-Your-Transaction) screening. Aurora is not liable for any transaction that is blocked, delayed, or cancelled by the Underlying Technology.
Nefarious Activity: Aurora monitors Widget usage. If the Widget is found on a site associated with phishing, malware, or fraudulent token sales, Aurora will immediately deactivate the API Key and revoke the license without notice.
Hosting and Data: Integrator is responsible for the secure hosting of their own site. Aurora does not collect or store end-user private keys or personal data through the Widget.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Each party (the “Recipient”) shall:
use the other party’s (“Discloser”) Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under these Terms;
protect such Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, and in no event less than reasonable care; and
not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party except to its employees, contractors, or professional advisers who have a need to know and are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than those set out herein.
Exclusions. Confidential Information does not include information that the Recipient can demonstrate:
was lawfully known to the Recipient prior to disclosure;
becomes publicly available through no breach of these Terms;
is rightfully received from a third party without restriction; or
is independently developed without use of or reference to the Confidential Information.
Compelled Disclosure. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information where required by law, regulation, or court order, provided that, to the extent legally permissible, the Recipient gives the Discloser prompt written notice to allow the Discloser to seek protective relief.
Duration and Survival. Confidentiality obligations shall survive termination of these Terms for five (5) years, or indefinitely with respect to trade secrets. Upon termination, each party shall promptly return or securely destroy the other party’s Confidential Information, subject to lawful retention requirements.

MISCELLANEOUS
Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding their subject matter.
Amendments. Aurora may amend these Terms by posting an updated version or providing notice. Continued use of the Integration Solutions constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms.
Assignment. The Integrator may not assign these Terms without Aurora’s prior written consent. Aurora may assign freely, including in connection with a corporate reorganisation or asset transfer.
Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing herein creates a partnership, agency, joint venture, fiduciary, or employment relationship.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force.
Waiver. No waiver is effective unless in writing and signed. A waiver of one breach is not a waiver of any other breach.
Modifications: We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify this Agreement from time to time. If we make any material modifications, we will notify you by updating the date at the top of the Agreement and by maintaining a current version of the Agreement.
All modifications will be effective when they are posted, and your continued accessing or use of any of the Integrated Solutions will serve as confirmation of your acceptance of those modifications.
