The agreement requires users to resolve disputes with Uniswap Labs through individual binding arbitration rather than through court litigation, and waives users' ability to participate in class action proceedings.

This provision establishes that all disputes must proceed through individual arbitration, which is administered outside of the court system, and forecloses class action participation; the enforceability of these terms may vary by jurisdiction and claim type, and applicable consumer protection statutes in certain states may limit their scope.
Interpretive note: The full arbitration clause text including specific opt-out procedures, administrator, and applicable rules was not fully reproduced in the document excerpt provided; enforceability also varies by jurisdiction and claim type.
The updated terms establish new contractual representations that users must make when agreeing to the agreement. Users now represent that they are not subject to economic or trade sanctions administered by any governmental authority, including OFAC lists, and that they are not citizens or residents of sanctioned jurisdictions. Users also represent that their access and use will comply with all applicable laws and will not be used to conduct or facilitate illegal activity. These representations are legally binding attestations that may be verified. Users in OFAC-sanctioned countries cannot truthfully make these representations and would be unable to use the platform.
View change record →The updated terms establish new restrictions on user conduct and add affirmative representations regarding asset eligibility. Users trading tokenized real-world assets (such as tokenized stocks, ETFs, or commodities) must now represent that they have reviewed issuer information and comply with any restrictions on trading or holding those assets. The terms also explicitly prohibit circumventing access restrictions, including geographic blocks and transfer limitations imposed by token issuers. By continuing to use the platform, users affirm they are legally eligible to trade tokens under their jurisdiction's laws.
View change record →The updated terms establish that Uniswap does not warrant that any digital asset accessible through its products is available for trading, holding, or transacting in your jurisdiction, or that you are legally permitted to do so. The revised language places the burden on you to determine whether a digital asset is lawfully available to you and to comply with any applicable transfer restrictions imposed by asset issuers or regulatory authorities. This means accessing or trading an asset through the Uniswap interface does not constitute Uniswap's determination that you are eligible to do so under your local laws.
View change record →Under this clause, users who have disputes with Uniswap Labs are required to pursue those disputes through individual arbitration rather than in court, and the agreement waives participation in any class action proceeding. The agreement specifies that accessing or using any Product constitutes acceptance of these terms.

"NOTICE: This Agreement contains important information, including a binding arbitration provision and a class action waiver, both of which impact your rights as to how disputes are resolved. Our Products are only available to you — and you should only access any of our Products — if you agree completely with these terms.Excerpt from Uniswap's Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The mandatory arbitration clause and class action waiver are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). The FTC has examined arbitration clauses in consumer contracts under its unfair or deceptive acts or practices authority, and the CFPB has issued rulemaking in this area, though the current regulatory posture should be independently evaluated. State-level consumer protection statutes in California, New Jersey, and other jurisdictions may limit enforceability for certain consumer claims. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. Individual arbitration requirements in consumer-facing financial technology agreements create significant procedural implications for dispute resolution, particularly where individual claim values are low and class aggregation would otherwise be the practical mechanism for redress. The enforceability of class action waivers in agreements involving securities or financial services may be subject to challenge under applicable federal law. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California residents are specifically addressed in Section 4.6 regarding the California Civil Code Section 1542 waiver. EU and UK users may have additional statutory dispute resolution rights that the arbitration clause cannot override under applicable consumer protection law. Financial services and securities-related claims may invoke regulatory dispute resolution frameworks that operate independently of contractual arbitration agreements. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise and institutional users should evaluate whether this arbitration clause is compatible with their own contractual obligations, particularly in jurisdictions where arbitration of financial disputes is subject to regulatory oversight. The provision that users may not settle or compromise claims against Uniswap Parties without written consent from Uniswap Labs is an additional procedural constraint that procurement teams should note. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should review whether the arbitration clause satisfies applicable notice and consent requirements in all jurisdictions where the Products are used, and whether click-wrap acceptance is sufficient to bind users to arbitration under current case law in the relevant jurisdictions. The absence of a prominently specified opt-out window and mechanism in the document excerpt provided creates an uncertainty that warrants direct review of the full agreement text.
