# Terms of Service — PolyQuantX Effective date: ## 1. Acceptance By accessing https://polyquantx.com (the "Site"), interacting with the PolyQuantX smart contracts deployed on Polygon (the "Contracts"), or using any associated APIs, SDKs, or hosted services (collectively, the "Platform"), you ("User", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. These Terms form a binding agreement between you and the operator of PolyQuantX (the "Operator", "we", "us"). The Operator is identified in Section 13. ## 2. Beta software warning PolyQuantX is currently in **closed beta** on the Polygon Amoy testnet. The Contracts have completed an internal self-audit (Slither + Mythril + manual review per `audits/SELF_AUDIT.md`) but have **NOT** been reviewed by a third-party Tier-1 audit firm such as Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, ConsenSys Diligence, or Spearbit. You should **not** use real-money funds with PolyQuantX during the beta. The Platform enforces hard caps during beta — $20/month maximum subscription price, $10,000 platform-wide Total Value Locked, and a limit of 3 bots per developer account — precisely because the system has not yet been hardened for production scale or value. You expressly accept beta risks including but not limited to: contract bugs discovered post-deployment, data loss, service interruption, emergency pause of the Contracts by the Operator, and rollback or redeployment of the Contracts to a new address. ## 3. Non-custodial disclaimer PolyQuantX is a **non-custodial platform**. We never hold your private keys. All on-chain actions are signed by **your** wallet (via Reown AppKit, a connected hardware wallet such as Ledger or Trezor, or any EOA you choose to connect). We cannot: - Recover funds you have sent to the wrong address. - Recover funds locked by a lost private key, lost seed phrase, or compromised wallet. - Reverse, refund, or accelerate any on-chain transaction once it has been broadcast. - Recover funds stuck due to insufficient gas, RPC failures, or network congestion. Custody of your assets and the security of your keys is **solely your responsibility**. See SECURITY.md for our recommended wallet-hygiene practices. ## 4. Eligibility and jurisdictional disclaimer You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) and that you are legally permitted to access cryptocurrency platforms in your jurisdiction. The Platform is **NOT** available, and you may not access it, if you are a resident of, located in, or otherwise organized under the laws of any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), including without limitation: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the non-government-controlled regions of Ukraine (Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk). The Operator may add or remove jurisdictions from this list based on counsel guidance; . Additional jurisdictional restrictions may apply based on the Operators home jurisdiction, your local law, and regulatory developments related to decentralized finance, derivatives, and prediction markets. It is your responsibility to determine whether your use of the Platform is lawful in your jurisdiction. ## 5. User responsibilities You agree to: - Comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation tax-reporting obligations on any gains, KYC/AML obligations if your jurisdiction or use-pattern requires them, and securities laws as they apply to your activity on the Platform. - Maintain exclusive control of your private keys and take reasonable steps to safeguard them. - Use the Platform only for lawful purposes. You agree **not** to use the Platform for: - Money laundering, terrorist financing, or sanctions evasion. - Market manipulation, including wash-trading, spoofing, layering, or coordinated pump-and-dump activity on Polymarket or any other venue. - Fraud, misrepresentation, or impersonation of any other person or entity. - Distributing malware, phishing, or any code intended to compromise the Platform, other users, or third-party services. - Reverse-engineering proprietary components of the Platform except as expressly permitted by law. - Scraping, automated mass-data collection, or any activity that imposes an unreasonable load on Platform infrastructure. ## 6. Smart contract risk Smart contracts may have undiscovered vulnerabilities even after audit. You assume all risk of loss from: - Latent bugs, logic flaws, or economic exploits in the Contracts. - Oracle failures, price-feed manipulation, or stale data. - RPC provider outages or incorrect responses from Alchemy or any other node provider. - Front-running, sandwich attacks, miner/validator extractable value (MEV), and other adversarial transaction-ordering behavior. - Gas-price spikes that make withdrawals or other operations uneconomic in the short term. - Decisions by the Operator to pause, upgrade, migrate, or redeploy the Contracts in response to a discovered issue or in the ordinary course of beta iteration. - Loss of access to your wallet (Section 3). ## 7. Marketplace economic risk Subscribing to a bot on the Marketplace does not guarantee profit. **Past performance, including any backtest results displayed in the Studio or Marketplace, is not indicative of future returns.** Bot strategies may lose money — possibly all funds allocated to them. The Operator does not endorse, vet, audit, or guarantee the correctness of any bot listed by a third-party developer. Bot ratings and metrics are derived from on-chain and reported off-chain data and may be incomplete, lagging, or manipulated. The beta caps ($20/month maximum subscription price, $10,000 platform-wide Total Value Locked, 3 bots per developer) are deliberately tight to limit blast radius during beta. Do not assume these caps will persist post-beta or that they will be raised on any particular schedule. ## 8. Modifications The Operator may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be announced via an in-app banner at least 7 days in advance of the effective date and (when implemented) via on-chain `terms_version` events emitted by the Contracts. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of a modification constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to a modification, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Platform. ## 9. Dispute resolution **9.1 Informal resolution.** Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting legal@polyquantx.com (placeholder until the Operator provisions the inbox) and engaging in good-faith negotiation for at least 30 days. **9.2 Binding arbitration.** If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved by **binding arbitration** administered by under its then-current rules, before a single arbitrator, seated in . The language of the arbitration shall be English. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. **9.3 Class-action waiver.** You agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only and waive any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action, to the extent permitted by applicable law. **9.4 Carve-outs.** Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may (a) bring a claim in small-claims court within the Operators home jurisdiction, or (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened misuse of intellectual property, trade secrets, or unauthorized access to the Platform. ## 10. No warranty / limitation of liability **THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.** To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operators aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform shall not exceed the greater of (a) USD 100, or (b) the total Platform fees you paid to the Operator in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. In no event shall the Operator be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, including without limitation lost profits, lost trading opportunities, or loss of data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. ## 11. Termination The Operator may suspend or terminate your access to the off-chain components of the Platform (the Site, dashboards, APIs) at any time for: (a) violation of these Terms, (b) suspected fraud or unlawful activity, (c) beta capacity constraints, or (d) at the Operators discretion with reasonable notice. Termination of front-end access does **not** affect your on-chain assets, your wallet, or your existing on-chain subscriptions or escrows. You may continue to interact with the Contracts directly via any compatible interface. ## 12. Governing law These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of , without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Likely the Operators country of residence. ## 13.
