Terms of Use

1. 01What the Interface does

   HugLink is software that lets anyone discover a creator or project — on Hugging Face (users, organizations, models, spaces and datasets), GitHub (users, organizations and repositories), Linktree, X, YouTube, Twitch, Kick or Reddit — and launch a token on pump.fun that is linked to that creator's profile. An existing pump.fun token can also be registered in the same way.

   The token's creator fees are routed on-chain to the HugLink treasury, collected roughly every 15 minutes and recorded in an internal ledger: 20% goes to the protocol and 80% is split between up to 6 recipients according to the percentages chosen by the launcher. Linked creator profiles always receive at least 50% of that recipient pool; the launcher's own wallet can receive at most 50%.

   We do not issue, create, sell, promote or trade any token launched through the Interface. Tokens are created by their launchers directly on third-party protocols. We are not a broker, exchange, custodian of your wallet, investment adviser or financial institution.

2. 02Eligibility

   You may only use the Interface if all of the following are true:

   • you are at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract;
   • you are not a resident of, located in, or organised under the laws of any country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, and you are not a person or entity on any sanctions list;
   • your use of the Interface does not violate any law or regulation that applies to you;
   • you are not using the Interface on behalf of someone who does not meet these requirements.

   You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Interface is lawful where you are. We may block access from any location at our discretion.

3. 03Wallets and transactions

   The Interface is accessed with a self-custodial wallet you control. We never have access to your private keys or seed phrase and cannot recover them. You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet and for every transaction you sign.

   Blockchain transactions are public, permanent and irreversible. Before signing, the Interface shows a simulation and an estimate of costs, but network fees, rent, slippage and final outcomes are determined by the blockchain and third-party programs, not by us.

   Token mint addresses issued through the Interface end in “hug”. They come from pre-generated keypairs that are held on our servers only until the launch transaction and are not reused.

4. 04Launching tokens

   When you launch or register a token through the Interface, you confirm and agree that:

   • fee routing is permanent. 100% of the token's creator fees are directed to the HugLink treasury through pump.fun's fee sharing configuration, which becomes locked. Neither you nor we can undo it;
   • the split you set between the linked creator and yourself is final, cannot be edited after launch, is recorded in our ledger and is published in the token description as a public fee line (for example “Fees to hf:org 70% sol:<wallet> 30% via HugLink”);
   • you have all rights to the token name, ticker, image and description, and they do not infringe anyone's rights or impersonate any person, brand or organisation;
   • linking a token to a creator does not mean that creator made, endorses or is affiliated with the token. Only the creator's own confirmation, shown as an Endorsed badge, indicates their support. You must not present a token as made, approved or supported by a creator who has not endorsed it;
   • if you register an existing token, you are its creator or fee-sharing admin and the split message you sign is authored by you;
   • any initial buy is a purchase you make on pump.fun at your own risk; the SOL goes into the bonding curve, not to us.

5. 05Creator shares, balances and withdrawals

   • A creator share is reserved for the linked identity — the stable account ID on the platform, not just the username — and can only be claimed by its verified owner. You may only claim balances that belong to an account or organization you own or administer.
   • Ownership is verified by signing in with the platform (Hugging Face, GitHub, X, Google for YouTube, Twitch, Kick or Reddit) using read-only permissions. Administrators of Hugging Face or GitHub organizations may claim on behalf of the organization. Linktree owners verify by placing a one-time code in their public Linktree bio, which we then read from the public page.
   • Withdrawals are paid in SOL to any Solana wallet you choose. The minimum withdrawal is 0.01 SOL and only one withdrawal can be in progress at a time. Optional automatic payouts follow the same rules.
   • The launcher's share is paid automatically to the Solana wallet named at launch once its balance passes 0.1 SOL.
   • Unclaimed creator balances do not expire. They accumulate until the verified owner claims them. If we ever change this, we will announce it in advance and it will not apply retroactively to amounts already credited.
   • Amounts are calculated from the SOL actually received on-chain, in whole lamports, according to the rules in our documentation. Ledger entries are final unless they result from an obvious error, which we may correct.
   • Recipients are responsible for any taxes on the amounts they receive.

6. 06Creator opt-out

   Any linked creator may stop payments at any time from the Claim page, or by contacting us from the linked account. The account is then placed on a do-not-pay list, hidden from the Interface and can no longer be chosen for new launches. New fee shares that would have gone to it are redirected to the protocol, and any existing balance remains withdrawable for 30 days, after which it is redirected to the protocol as well.

7. 07Featured tokens

   Tokens that pass a market capitalisation of $20,000 may be featured on our X account and marked as featured in the Interface. Featuring is entirely at our discretion, may be declined or withdrawn for any reason, and is informational only — it is not an endorsement, a recommendation or investment advice.

8. 08Protocol fees

   The protocol's 20% share of creator fees funds the operation and development of the Interface. It is not a promise of any price support, value or return for any token. Protocol fees, network fees and amounts paid to recipients are non-refundable.

9. 09Prohibited use

   You agree not to use the Interface to:

   • impersonate any person, brand or organisation, or suggest an affiliation or endorsement that does not exist;
   • launch tokens that infringe intellectual property, contain illegal, hateful or sexually explicit content involving minors, or promote violence;
   • engage in fraud, market manipulation, wash trading, pump-and-dump schemes or rug pulls;
   • launder money, finance terrorism or evade sanctions;
   • claim or attempt to claim balances belonging to someone else, take over accounts, or fake ownership of a profile or organization;
   • attack, overload, scrape at abusive rates, reverse engineer for exploitation, or bypass security or rate limits of the Interface;
   • violate the terms of pump.fun, Hugging Face, GitHub, Linktree, X, YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Reddit or any other third-party service.

   We may hide tokens or profiles, refuse or delay withdrawals under review, place accounts on a do-not-pay list, or block access if we reasonably believe these Terms or the law are being broken.

10. 10Suspension and changes to the Interface

    We may modify, pause or discontinue any part of the Interface at any time, including temporarily pausing withdrawals for security reasons. The Interface depends on third-party blockchains and services and may be unavailable or behave unexpectedly. We are not obliged to support any specific token, platform or feature.

11. 11Third-party services

    The Interface interacts with independent third parties, including the Solana network, pump.fun and PumpSwap, Hugging Face, GitHub, Linktree, X, Google (YouTube), Twitch, Kick, Reddit, IPFS pinning services and RPC providers. We do not control them and are not responsible for their availability, fees, security, content or terms.

    HugLink is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Hugging Face, GitHub, Linktree, pump.fun, X Corp., Google or YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Reddit or the Solana Foundation. Their names and marks belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify the platforms. Data on the Discover page is public information fetched from the Hugging Face and GitHub public APIs.

12. 12Intellectual property

    The HugLink name, logo, design and software of the Interface are ours or our licensors'. You may not use them in a way that suggests affiliation without permission. Token content remains the responsibility of whoever launched the token; by launching you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display it in the Interface and in promotional materials such as share cards and featured posts.

13. 13Disclaimer of warranties

    The Interface is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy of data or uninterrupted, secure or error-free operation. You use the Interface at your own risk.

14. 14Limitation of liability

    To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, tokens, digital assets, data or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Interface, blockchain networks, third-party services or tokens launched through the Interface. Our aggregate liability for any claim will not exceed the protocol fees we received in connection with the specific transaction giving rise to the claim.

15. 15Indemnification

    You agree to indemnify and hold harmless us and our contributors from any claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Interface, the tokens and content you launch, or your breach of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

16. 16Disputes

    Before bringing any claim, you agree to contact us and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be settled by binding individual arbitration, and you waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

17. 17Changes to these Terms

    We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date shows the latest version. Continuing to use the Interface after changes take effect means you accept them. Material changes affecting balances already credited to you will not apply retroactively.
