Services
We appreciate your interest in the Meso project, which includes the token. It is crucial to acknowledge that cryptocurrency projects, like this one, are exposed to various risks. Prior to engaging in the token sale, we strongly advise you to carefully evaluate these risks. Please note that the risks mentioned below are not exhaustive and there may be additional uncertainties that could have a negative impact on the tokens.

Adherence to Acceptable Use and Content Standards is mandatory.
Meso serves as an informative platform regarding the Protocol, but it is not the only or primary source.
The information provided for your use of the Services is solely for informational purposes. Although we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee the information's accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. It is possible that the information may be outdated or contain errors or omissions.
The Meso Protocol's codebases are maintained on each full network node of the relevant blockchain versions.
Please refrain from taking any action solely based on the information found on Meso, including the Developer Docs or any other content we provide, such as blog posts, data, articles, links to third-party content, discord content, news feeds, tutorials, tweets, and videos.
You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible or liable for any damage or loss resulting from the use or reliance on such content, goods, or services available on or through any site or resource.
Users have complete control over their crypto assets and we do not have any possession, custody, or control over them or their funds when they interact with the Meso Protocol.
The use of third-party self-custodial wallets is necessary to interact with the Meso Protocol, and we have no control or guarantee over these wallets.
When using the Meso Protocol through the Interface, users must connect and engage with it using their self-custodial wallet, which is provided by a separate third-party entity with its own terms and conditions.
We are not intermediaries to the Meso Protocol transactions and do not have a fiduciary relationship or obligation to users.
Due to the decentralized nature of the technology, we do not have information about all Meso Protocol transactions beyond what is publicly available via the blockchain. However, we may collect information about users in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Transactions on blockchains may incur gas fees, which are network transaction fees paid for each transaction on the blockchain network, and these fees are non-refundable.
We do not offer services for users to handle, store, or receive payment for cryptocurrencies, nor do we charge any fees for transactions or services.
The Interface is hosted on the Inter Planetary File System (IPFS), a decentralized network protocol that stores and retrieves files in a peer-to-peer manner across multiple nodes, rather than relying on a central server.
