1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the Software, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Software.

2. Description of Service

The Software is a desktop application (CryptoAI) that embeds an execution and control system (TradingEngine) used to connect user-provided AI models with exchange APIs.

The Software provides execution infrastructure only and does not generate trading strategies, signals, or recommendations. The Software does not operate autonomously and executes only actions explicitly generated or approved by the user or user-configured systems. The provider does not supply, host, train, or operate any AI models on behalf of the user.

3. Not Financial Advice

TradingEngine does not provide investment advice, financial advice, or trading recommendations. All trading decisions are made by you or your configured AI systems. You are solely responsible for:

• Your trading strategy and configuration
• Your API keys and account security
• Your trading decisions and their outcomes
• Compliance with applicable laws and exchange terms of service

The Software does not evaluate the legality, suitability, or appropriateness of any trading activity for the user.

4. Risk Acknowledgment

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Trading cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk of loss
• Past performance is not indicative of future results
• AI systems can make errors and unexpected decisions
• AI-generated outputs may be incomplete, incorrect, misleading, or unsuitable for real-market conditions
• Technical failures may occur at any time
• You may lose all funds in your trading account
• Regulatory, legal, or tax consequences may arise from your trading activity
• Certain instruments, markets, or exchanges may be restricted or prohibited in some jurisdictions
• The Software does not enforce, detect, or prevent jurisdictional, regulatory, or exchange-specific restrictions, including restrictions related to futures, derivatives, or leveraged instruments

You agree to use the Software at your own risk and accept full responsibility for all trading outcomes. You accept full responsibility for determining whether your use of the Software is lawful in your jurisdiction.

5. Regulatory Compliance

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Software complies with all applicable laws, regulations, exchange rules, and jurisdictional restrictions.

This includes, but is not limited to, regulations related to derivatives, futures, perpetual contracts, options, leveraged instruments, and professional or retail trading classifications. The Software does not determine, restrict, or verify whether any specific trading activity is legal, permitted, or appropriate for you. The availability of the Software does not constitute an offer, solicitation, or permission to engage in any regulated activity.

The user acknowledges that access to certain exchanges or instruments may require specific legal status, registrations, or classifications, which are solely the user's responsibility.

6. Export and Sanctions Compliance

You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a resident of any country subject to comprehensive sanctions or export restrictions, and that your use of the Software does not violate applicable export control or sanctions laws.

7. Third-Party Services

The Software relies on third-party services including, but not limited to, exchange APIs, AI model providers, and data sources. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, reliability, or actions of any third-party services.

8. User Data and Logs

The Software may generate logs or execution records for user visibility and debugging purposes. You are solely responsible for the storage, security, and handling of such data.

9. License

Upon purchase, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Software subject to these terms. The license is valid for one user on up to three devices. The license grants access to the Software only and does not grant any rights to financial services, brokerage, or advisory activities. The license is granted for personal or internal use only.

You may not:

• Distribute, sell, or sublicense the Software
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software
• Remove any copyright or proprietary notices
• Use the Software for illegal purposes

10. License Enforcement and Suspension

We reserve the right to suspend or revoke access to the Software in the event of license abuse, violation of these Terms, or unauthorized use. Suspension of access does not entitle the user to any refund.

11. Refund Policy

Due to the digital nature of the Software, all sales are final. No refunds will be provided after license activation. We strongly recommend testing the Software with free exchange testnets before live trading.

12. Updates and Support

Your license includes updates as specified in your tier (Early Access, Pro, or Ultimate). Support is provided according to your license tier's response time commitments. We do not guarantee continued compatibility with any specific exchange, API, or third-party service. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Software at any time.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of defects, nor that any outputs or executions will meet user expectations.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TradingEngine and its creators shall not be liable for:

• Any trading losses or financial damages
• Loss of profits, revenue, or data
• Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
• Damages arising from software bugs or technical failures
• Regulatory fines, penalties, or legal actions arising from your trading activity

Our total aggregate liability, if any, shall not exceed the total amount actually paid by you for the Software in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless TradingEngine and its creators from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Software, including but not limited to trading losses, violation of exchange terms, violation of applicable laws, regulatory violations, unauthorized trading activity, or use of restricted instruments.

16. No Fiduciary Duty

Nothing in these Terms or in the operation of the Software creates any fiduciary duty, advisory relationship, or obligation of care between you and the provider.

17. No Monitoring or Intervention

We do not monitor, review, approve, or intervene in user trading activity, strategies, prompts, or execution decisions.

18. No Brokerage or Custodial Services

The Software does not act as a broker, dealer, exchange, or custodian. We do not hold user funds, execute trades on behalf of users, or access accounts without user-provided credentials.

19. AI-Specific Disclaimer

You acknowledge that outputs generated by AI systems may be probabilistic, non-deterministic, and context-dependent, and may produce unexpected or incorrect results. The Software does not validate, verify, or correct AI-generated outputs.

20. Class Action Waiver

You agree that any claims against the provider shall be brought solely in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

21. Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for failures or delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including exchange outages, API failures, network issues, or third-party service disruptions.

22. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to our website. Continued use of the Software after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms. We will provide 30 days notice for material changes.

23. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the provider is legally established, without regard to conflict of law principles.

24. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
