These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and the operators of the Sumo platform ("Sumo," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Sumo platform, including the web application at app.sumo.trade, documentation at docs.sumo.trade, the Sumo API, or any associated Telegram bot integrations (collectively, the "Platform"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the Platform.
Sumo is a multi-tenant automated trading infrastructure platform. The Platform provides software tools that enable users to:
The Platform operates across Solana, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain (BSC), and Base blockchain networks.
The Platform is a self-service software tool. Sumo does not act as a broker, dealer, exchange, custodian, financial advisor, investment manager, or fiduciary of any kind. You retain full control over your trading decisions, strategy configurations, wallet funding, and withdrawal timing.
By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that:
We reserve the right to restrict access to the Platform from any jurisdiction at any time, for any reason.
You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Platform complies with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable in your jurisdiction. Cryptocurrency regulation varies significantly across jurisdictions and is rapidly evolving. Activities that are lawful in one jurisdiction may be prohibited, restricted, or require licensing in another.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you are responsible for determining whether:
Sumo does not provide legal, tax, or regulatory advice. We strongly recommend that you consult qualified legal and tax professionals in your jurisdiction before using the Platform.
Certain automated trading strategies available on the Platform may, depending on how they are configured and the regulatory framework of your jurisdiction, raise market conduct considerations:
Counter Trade Strategies. Counter Trade strategies automatically execute trades that offset external market activity. Depending on the configuration, this may involve buying tokens that you or related parties have previously sold, or vice versa. In some jurisdictions, such activity may be characterized as wash trading, market manipulation, or artificial price maintenance, and may violate applicable securities, commodities, or market conduct laws.
Token Launch Bundling. The Platform's token launch feature allows bundled purchases from multiple wallets in a single atomic transaction. In certain jurisdictions, launching a token while simultaneously purchasing a significant portion of its supply through multiple wallets may be considered a manipulative practice, may require disclosure, or may trigger securities law obligations.
DCA and Automated Strategies. Automated and systematic trading may be subject to algorithmic trading regulations in certain jurisdictions, which may impose registration, testing, risk control, or reporting requirements.
You are solely responsible for understanding the legal characterization of your trading activity in your jurisdiction and ensuring your configurations comply with applicable law. The availability of a feature on the Platform does not constitute a representation that its use is lawful in your jurisdiction.
If you launch a token through the Platform, you acknowledge and agree that:
The Platform integrates with third-party privacy providers (including Husher and SplitNOW) that enable fund distribution without creating direct on-chain links between source and destination wallets. You acknowledge that:
Nothing on the Platform, in our documentation, or in any communication from Sumo constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, tax advice, legal advice, or any other form of professional advice.
The Platform is a software tool. Strategy descriptions, configuration parameters, analytics, performance metrics, fee calculations, and any other information presented on the Platform are provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a basis for making financial decisions.
Past performance of any strategy, whether displayed on the Platform or discussed in documentation, is not indicative of future results. All trading involves risk, and automated trading involves additional risks specific to software execution and market conditions.
By using the Platform, you expressly acknowledge and accept the following risks:
Market Risk. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile. Token prices can decline to zero. You may lose some or all of the funds you deposit into Platform wallets.
Smart Contract Risk. The Platform interacts with third-party smart contracts on decentralized exchanges. These contracts may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or design flaws that could result in loss of funds. Sumo does not audit or control third-party smart contracts.
Strategy Execution Risk. Automated strategies execute based on configured parameters and market conditions. Network congestion, insufficient liquidity, slippage, MEV extraction, RPC failures, oracle manipulation, or other technical factors may cause strategies to execute in ways that differ from expectations, including at unfavorable prices.
Key Management Risk. While Sumo employs enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256-GCM envelope encryption with hardware-backed key management), no security system is infallible. You should not deposit more funds than you can afford to lose.
Blockchain Risk. Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Transactions submitted to a blockchain network cannot be cancelled or reversed. Network forks, reorganizations, or consensus failures may affect transaction finality.
Regulatory Risk. The regulatory environment for cryptocurrency is uncertain and evolving. Changes in law or regulation may adversely affect your ability to use the Platform, the value of tokens you hold, or the legality of your trading activities.
Third-Party Risk. The Platform relies on third-party infrastructure including blockchain RPC providers, DEX protocols, Jito block engines, privacy swap providers, and Telegram APIs. Failures, outages, or adverse changes in these third-party services are beyond Sumo's control.
Token Launch Risk. Tokens launched through the Platform may fail to achieve liquidity, may be exploited by malicious actors, or may face adverse regulatory action. You bear all risk associated with tokens you create or launch.
Liquidity Risk. DEX pools may have insufficient liquidity for your trade sizes, resulting in significant slippage or failed transactions. Low-liquidity tokens may be difficult or impossible to sell.
Sumo charges a flat 5% fee on all withdrawals (cashouts) of native assets and tokens from Platform wallets. This fee is automatically deducted at the time of withdrawal.
Third-party fees (blockchain network fees, DEX swap fees, Jito tips, privacy provider fees) are separate from and in addition to the Sumo platform fee.
You agree not to use the Platform for any of the following purposes:
Sumo reserves the right to suspend or terminate access for any User reasonably suspected of engaging in prohibited activities, with or without prior notice.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials, including your password and any Telegram-linked sessions. You agree to:
Sumo is not liable for any losses resulting from unauthorized access to your account that is attributable to your failure to secure your credentials.
Sumo generates and manages cryptocurrency wallets on your behalf using hierarchical deterministic (HD) key derivation from encrypted seed phrases. Your private keys are:
While Sumo holds encrypted copies of your wallet keys as a necessary function of the Platform's automated trading capabilities, Sumo is not a custodian in the traditional financial services sense. Sumo does not exercise discretionary control over your funds. All trading strategies, cashouts, and fund movements require your configuration and initiation.
Sumo operates as a multi-tenant platform. Each organization's wallets, trading data, strategies, and configuration are logically and cryptographically isolated from other organizations. Cross-tenant access is enforced at the database, API, application, and encryption layers.
All intellectual property rights in the Platform, including but not limited to the software, algorithms, user interface, documentation, trade names, logos, and all related materials, are owned by or licensed to Sumo.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Sumo grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform for your personal or business trading activities.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SUMO, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:
IN NO EVENT SHALL SUMO'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO SUMO IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sumo, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
Sumo provides the Platform on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free operation of the Platform.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. Sumo expressly disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration institution, unless you are located in a jurisdiction where mandatory consumer protection laws require disputes to be resolved in local courts.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Sumo reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform, documentation site, or email notification at least 14 days before they take effect.
Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. You may terminate by ceasing to use the Platform and withdrawing all funds from your wallets. Sumo may terminate or suspend your access for any reason, including violation of these Terms, suspected illegal activity, or regulatory requirements.
Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 7, 12, 13, 15, and 16) shall survive.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Sumo regarding your use of the Platform.
