Disclosure Statements
BONDI TECHNOLOGY INC.
1. Introduction
1.1. Welcome to Bondi Technology Inc. (“Bondi”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). We are a technology company providing a platform that enables the tokenization of existing, publicly traded bonds into digital assets known as "Bond Tokens."
1.2. Bondi is a company domiciled in the Republic of Panama. The legal framework in Panama for digital assets is currently evolving. As such, our platform operates in adherence to international best practices for compliance and security. All transactions between you and us are governed by our Terms of Service and the applicable laws of Panama.
1.3. This Disclosure Statement provides essential information about Bondi Finance and our platform for all users and participants (“you” or “your”).
1.4. Please read this Statement carefully. A glossary of defined terms is provided at the end of this Statement.
2. Our Platform
2.1. Bondi Finance operates a smart-contract-based platform on the Base, Plume, Mantle, and Injective blockchains. The platform facilitates the creation (minting) and management of Bond Tokens, which represent a fractional economic interest in real-world, underlying corporate bonds.
2.2. Capital Providers deposit funds (typically stablecoins like USDC) to mint Bond Tokens corresponding to a specific underlying bond.
2.3. Holders of Bond Tokens are entitled to receive periodic payments equivalent to the coupon payments of the underlying bond and the principal upon its maturity, subject to the fees and risks outlined in our legal documentation.
3. Disclaimer
3.1. Except as expressly provided in a written agreement between you and Bondi, we disclaim and exclude, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all liability for any losses or damages arising from your use of the Platform.
3.2. Bondi does not provide investment, legal, or tax advice. We make no recommendation as to the suitability, legality, or appropriateness of any Bond Token or transaction. You should seek independent advice from qualified professionals before participating in our platform.
4. Material Risks
The Bondi Finance platform involves significant risks. By participating, you confirm that you understand and accept the following material risks, which may result in partial or total loss of capital.
A. Capital and Financial Risks
4.1. Market Risk: The value of Bond Tokens can fluctuate due to changes in interest rates, market sentiment, inflation, and general economic conditions that affect the price of the underlying bonds.
4.2. Credit & Issuer Risk: The value and performance of Bond Tokens are directly linked to the creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying bond. In the event of an issuer default, you could lose your entire principal and any accrued interest. Bondi is not responsible for the solvency or performance of any bond issuer.
4.3. Bond Token-Specific Risks: Bond Tokens:
- May lose all value due to issuer default, protocol failure, or adverse market events.
- Are not legal tender and are not insured by any government authority.
- Are not protected by deposit insurance.
- Do not confer any equity or voting rights in Bondi Technology Inc.
- May be subject to taxation, depending on your jurisdiction.
4.4. Liquidity Risk: The ability to buy or sell Bond Tokens on secondary markets may be limited. There is no guarantee of a liquid secondary market, which could prevent you from selling your tokens on demand.
4.5. Forced Transfers & Freezing: In certain compliance or default scenarios (e.g., sanctioned wallets, legal orders), Bondi reserves the right to freeze or forcibly transfer Bond Tokens.
B. Operational, Technical, and Cyber Risks
4.6. Smart Contract and Platform Risks: Despite rigorous testing and audits, smart contracts may contain unknown bugs or vulnerabilities that could be exploited, potentially resulting in a loss of funds.
4.7. Cybersecurity Threats: Bondi applies advanced security protocols, but risks persist, including phishing, malware, and other attacks that could compromise the platform or user wallets.
4.8. Loss of Private Keys: You are solely responsible for securing your wallet credentials (private keys or seed phrases). If they are lost or compromised, your Bond Tokens cannot be recovered by Bondi. This risk also applies to the security of social accounts used for in-app wallets.
4.9. System Failures and Accounting Risks: Due to the platform's complexity, there may be:
- Misstatements in financial reporting or token valuations
- Operational errors due to technology or human oversight
- Delays in coupon distributions or redemptions
4.10. User Profile Security:
- Profiles may be suspended or terminated by Bondi at its discretion or due to legal requirements
- Actions via your profile are deemed authorized unless otherwise notified
- Unauthorized access may occur if your credentials are not adequately secured
4.11. Data Handling and Privacy Risk: KYC/AML data is stored securely, but remains vulnerable to data breaches despite best practices.
C. Regulatory and Legal Risks
4.12. Legal Uncertainty: The legal landscape governing blockchain and tokenized assets is rapidly evolving and varies across jurisdictions. Abrupt regulatory changes could restrict or alter Bondi's services.
4.13. Jurisdictional and Sanction Risks: Services are restricted in certain jurisdictions (e.g., the U.S., sanctioned countries). You must ensure your participation does not violate any local laws.
4.14. Regulatory Change Impact: Changes in Panama or other jurisdictions may:
- Force Bondi to restrict, suspend, or cease services (including Bond Token issuance or redemptions)
- Alter Bondi's business model, investment strategy, or compliance obligations
- Cause financial losses due to asset lock-up, token devaluation, or forced shutdown, without recourse or compensation
D. Force Majeure and Service Availability Risks
4.15. Platform Disruption or Shutdown Risk: In cases of regulatory intervention, technical failure, insolvency, or force majeure events, Bondi's platform and related services may become temporarily or permanently inaccessible, and funds may be delayed or inaccessible.
E. User Responsibility
4.16. Independent Evaluation Required:
- Bondi provides no financial, legal, or tax advice
- You must evaluate all aspects of participation independently and consult your own advisors as needed
- Past performance of underlying bonds is not indicative of future results
