terms of service
Last updated: July 16, 2026
1. Introduction and acceptance
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and the operator of wave.baby (the "Operator", "we", "us"), the platform available at wave.baby (the "Platform").
The Operator is a legal entity. For information about the legal entity operating the Platform, contact us at the email address in Section 20; we will respond to any legitimate request, including from authorities, courts, or legal counsel. The Platform is hosted by Vercel Inc., 650 California St, San Francisco, CA 94108, USA.
By accessing the Platform you accept these Terms. By creating a token through the Platform you additionally confirm, through the creation attestation, that you have read and accept these Terms and the restrictions in Sections 3 and 6. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR U.S. USERS: SECTION 18 CONTAINS A BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED. YOU MAY OPT OUT WITHIN 30 DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 18.
2. The Service
The Platform is a non-custodial creation tool. It lets users create tokens on the Solana blockchain within time-limited, themed creation windows ("editions"), each defined by a creative constraint set by the Operator.
The Platform:
- —does not hold, custody, or control user funds, private keys, or tokens;
- —does not co-sign, issue, or launch tokens — every token is created by its creator, from the creator's own wallet, through a permissionless third-party protocol (Meteora);
- —does not operate an exchange, order book, or trading venue, and offers no swap or trading functionality;
- —does not provide brokerage, custody, investment, legal, tax, or financial advice; and
- —has no fiduciary relationship with you.
Every interaction with the Platform is self-directed. Nobody is required to create a token through the Platform; once a token is created, its creator bears full and exclusive responsibility for it, including its promotion and its life on the market.
3. Eligibility and restricted jurisdictions
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) and have legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
You may not use the Platform at all if you are located in, a resident of, or an entity organized in any jurisdiction blocked by the Platform under applicable international sanctions (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine), or if you are a person designated on any sanctions list maintained by the United States (including OFAC), the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the United Nations.
You may not create a token through the Platform if you are located in or a resident of:
- —any member state of the European Union; or
- —the United Kingdom.
Viewing publicly accessible pages remains permitted from these jurisdictions (except sanctioned jurisdictions).
You must not use VPNs, proxies, location spoofing, or any other technical means to circumvent these restrictions. By creating a token, you represent and warrant that you meet all the requirements of this Section. We may refuse, restrict, or terminate access where we believe these requirements are not met.
4. Your wallet
You interact with the Platform through a self-custodied Solana wallet. We do not control your wallet, cannot access or recover it, and cannot reverse, cancel, or refund any on-chain transaction. Blockchain transactions are irreversible. You are solely responsible for your wallet, your private keys, and every transaction you sign.
5. Creating a token
- —Each edition defines a creative constraint, a creation window, and format rules. Rules are fixed when an edition opens.
- —Submissions are validated against the edition's rules before creation. Some editions use automated (including AI-based) validation.
- —You see a full preview of your token before signing. The token's name and symbol cannot be changed after validation, and token metadata is immutable after launch.
- —Token media and metadata are published to IPFS and the Solana blockchain, which are public and permanent. Publication cannot be undone. Do not submit anything you are not prepared to make permanently public.
- —Certain editions generate media server-side (including with AI) from your input. Generation capacity may be rate-limited or capped.
- —The creation attestation you confirm before signing is recorded, together with technical data (including your IP address), as described in the Privacy Policy.
6. Creator obligations
If you create a token, you are its issuer and sole responsible party. You agree that you will not, on the Platform or anywhere else (including social media, messaging apps, livestreams, or any other channel), in connection with any token created through the Platform:
- —make any claim or suggestion of expected profit, return, yield, price appreciation (e.g. "100x"), or financial upside;
- —announce or suggest any roadmap, utility, revenue rights, profit sharing, dividends, buybacks, or redemption rights;
- —present the token as endorsed by, affiliated with, or "official" to the Platform, the Operator, or any third party without authorization;
- —use the token in connection with any capital raise, pooled investment scheme, tokenized equity or debt, or any instrument presenting the token as an investment;
- —engage in market manipulation of any kind, including pump-and-dump schemes, wash trading, coordinated trading, or spreading false or misleading information;
- —fail to disclose any material relationship or financial interest when promoting the token, where disclosure is required by applicable law.
You are solely responsible for complying with all laws applicable to you as a token creator, including securities, commodities, consumer protection, advertising, and tax laws. We are not a party to, and do not police, your communications to your audience.
7. User content and intellectual property
- —You retain ownership of the content you submit (drawings, text, audio, prompts, and other input), and you grant the Operator a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, and adapt it in connection with operating and promoting the Platform.
- —Elements provided by the Platform (edition designs, characters, map styles, generated assets templates, branding) remain the property of the Operator. Where a token's artwork incorporates Platform elements, you receive a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that artwork in connection with your token.
- —You represent that your content does not infringe third-party rights (including copyright, trademark, and personality rights) and complies with our content policy.
- —To report content that infringes your rights, contact us at the email address in Section 20.
8. Tokens are user-generated; no endorsement
All tokens visible on the Platform are created by users, not by the Operator. The presence of a token on the Platform means only that it complied with the applicable edition's format rules at creation. It is not a review, endorsement, recommendation, or verification of any kind.
We do not recommend that any token be bought, sold, or held by anyone, under any circumstances. Editorial curation on the Platform is limited to defining each edition's creative constraint; we do not select, verify, or vouch for individual tokens or creators.
9. Fees and token economics
The following describes the economics of tokens created through the Platform, for transparency. It is a factual description of protocol mechanics, not a promise, guarantee, or investment feature:
- —Tokens are created through the Meteora protocol with a configuration set by the Operator. Trading fees are charged by the protocol on each trade; after the protocol's share, the remainder is split between the token's creator and the Operator. These parameters are fixed on-chain at creation.
- —When a token reaches the protocol's migration threshold, its liquidity migrates to a standard pool; the migrated liquidity positions of the creator and the Operator are permanently locked and cannot be withdrawn.
- —Token metadata authority is immutable after launch.
- —Accrued creator fees can be claimed from the account page. Fee accrual depends entirely on third-party trading activity; it may be zero and is not a promise of income. Fee data shown on the Platform is an estimate and may differ from on-chain amounts.
- —Creating a token requires paying Solana network fees and protocol costs from your own wallet.
We may change the configuration used for future editions at any time; parameters of already-created tokens are fixed on-chain and cannot be changed by anyone, including us.
10. Trading and third-party services
The Platform offers no trading functionality. Any trading of tokens happens on third-party protocols and applications that we do not operate, control, or endorse — including the Meteora protocol and any trading application the Platform may link to (such as fomo). These are independent third-party services with their own terms and risks; a link is provided for convenience only and is not a recommendation to trade. Wallets, RPC providers, IPFS gateways, and blockchain networks are likewise independent third parties.
11. Market data
The Platform may display market data (such as market capitalization) sourced from third-party providers. This data is provided for information only, may be inaccurate, delayed, or incomplete, and is not advice, a recommendation, or an indication of quality or future performance. Display order and sorting options are informational conveniences, not rankings or endorsements.
12. Moderation, listing, and delisting
- —We may, at our sole discretion, refuse a submission, or remove ("delist") any token from the Platform's interface at any time, with or without notice, including for violations of these Terms or our content policy.
- —Delisting is off-chain only: it removes the token from the Platform's interface but has no effect on the token's on-chain existence, its trading on third-party venues, or its holders.
- —Tokens created outside the Platform's flow (directly through the protocol) are not listed on the Platform.
- —We have no obligation to monitor tokens, creators, or their communications, and no liability for failing to remove any content or token.
13. Prohibited conduct
You must not:
- —violate any applicable law, or use the Platform from a restricted jurisdiction (Section 3);
- —engage in market manipulation, fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, or sanctions evasion;
- —submit content that is illegal, infringing, or violates our content policy;
- —interfere with the Platform's operation, attempt unauthorized access, scrape at abusive rates, or circumvent rate limits or geographic controls;
- —impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent an affiliation with the Platform;
- —use the Platform to harm minors in any way.
We may investigate violations, suspend or terminate access, delist tokens, and cooperate with authorities.
14. Assumption of risk
You understand and accept that:
- —tokens created through the Platform are highly speculative cultural objects with no intrinsic value, no utility, and no expectation of profit; their price can go to zero and frequently does;
- —you may lose everything you spend acquiring or trading tokens;
- —liquidity is not guaranteed; you may be unable to sell a token at any price;
- —smart contracts (including the Meteora protocol) may contain bugs or be exploited; blockchains may fork, halt, or reorganize;
- —other users may act fraudulently or manipulate markets despite our prohibitions;
- —the regulatory treatment of tokens is uncertain and may change.
You use the Platform at your own risk and are solely responsible for evaluating every token and transaction.
15. Disclaimers
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY DATA DISPLAYED IS ACCURATE.
16. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
- —WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, TOKENS, DATA, OR GOODWILL;
- —WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS RELATED TO USER-GENERATED TOKENS, THE CONDUCT OF CREATORS OR OTHER USERS, THIRD-PARTY PROTOCOLS OR SERVICES, MARKET DATA ERRORS, OR ON-CHAIN EVENTS;
- —OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO THE OPERATOR IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM AND (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD 100).
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD.
17. Indemnification
You will indemnify and hold harmless the Operator and its affiliates, officers, and service providers from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) any token you create and any communication you make about it; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) your infringement of any third-party right. We release, and you release us from, disputes between users; any dispute you have with a creator or another user is between you and them.
18. Governing law and dispute resolution
Governing law. Except where applicable law provides otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
Users outside the United States. Any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the jurisdiction in which the Operator is established, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections of your place of residence where they apply.
U.S. users — binding individual arbitration.
- —_Informal resolution first._ Before filing any claim, you must email us a written description of the dispute and give us thirty (30) days to resolve it informally, including at least one good-faith conference call if we request it.
- —_Arbitration._ Any dispute not resolved informally shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, before a single arbitrator, conducted in English by videoconference, under internationally recognized commercial arbitration rules. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the scope, validity, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement.
- —_Class action waiver._ All disputes must be brought individually. Class actions, class arbitrations, and representative actions are waived. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) shall proceed in court.
- —_Small claims._ Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court where jurisdictionally permitted.
- —_Mass filings._ If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are filed by or with the assistance of coordinated counsel, the parties agree to a staged process: bellwether arbitrations of up to five (5) test cases, followed by mediation of the remaining claims, before any further arbitrations proceed.
- —_Opt-out._ You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing us at the address in Section 20 within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating your wallet address and your intent to opt out. Opting out does not affect the class action waiver to the extent permitted by law.
Time limit. To the extent permitted by law, any claim must be filed within one (1) year of the event giving rise to it, or it is permanently barred.
19. Changes, suspension, termination
We may amend these Terms at any time by posting the updated version with a new "last updated" date; material changes will be signposted on the Platform. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. We may suspend or discontinue all or part of the Platform at any time. Tokens already created exist on-chain independently of the Platform and are unaffected by any suspension of the Platform itself. Sections that by their nature survive termination (including 6–9, 14–18) survive.
20. General
- —Contact : contact@wave.baby — the single point of contact for support, legal, abuse reports, IP complaints, and identification requests.
- —Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.
- —No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
- —Assignment. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization or transfer of the Platform.
- —Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the content policy referenced in the creation flow are the entire agreement between you and the Operator regarding the Platform.
