Terms of Service

2.1. You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Platform.

2.2. You must be a legal resident of the United States or a jurisdiction where use of the Platform is not prohibited.

2.3. You must not be on any U.S. government sanctions list (OFAC SDN, etc.).

2.4. You represent that you have the legal authority to connect your Exchange account and authorize automated trading.

2.5. Jurisdictional Restrictions. QuantumEdge may restrict, suspend, or block access to the Platform based on your jurisdiction, geographic location, or detected IP address. Access may be blocked where required by U.S. sanctions, export control regulations (including the Export Administration Regulations), or local laws and regulations applicable to algorithmic trading, cryptocurrency, or financial technology services. QuantumEdge may geo-block IP address ranges associated with restricted jurisdictions without prior notice.

2.6. User Responsibility for Legality. You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Platform complies with all laws, regulations, and rules applicable in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to securities regulations, cryptocurrency regulations, tax obligations, and data protection laws. QuantumEdge makes no representation that the Platform is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Your use of the Platform in violation of applicable local law is at your own risk and may result in immediate account suspension.

2.7. Ongoing Eligibility Monitoring. QuantumEdge reserves the right to monitor IP addresses, geographic signals, and publicly available sanctions data on an ongoing basis to enforce eligibility requirements. This monitoring may include: (a) periodic IP geolocation checks during authenticated sessions; (b) screening against updated U.S. sanctions lists (OFAC SDN, Sectoral Sanctions, and related designations) as such lists are amended; (c) periodic review of account eligibility against evolving regulatory requirements. This monitoring does not constitute identity verification (KYC) services and does not create any obligation on QuantumEdge to verify your identity beyond what is required for account registration.

2.8. Suspension on Updated Sanctions or Regulatory Changes. If updated sanctions designations, export control amendments, or regulatory changes render your continued access to the Platform impermissible or expose the Platform to legal risk, QuantumEdge may immediately suspend or terminate your account without prior notice. QuantumEdge will notify you of such suspension to the extent legally permitted. You acknowledge that sanctions lists and regulatory requirements change frequently and that your eligibility to use the Platform is subject to ongoing compliance.

3.1. QuantumEdge is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that provides algorithmic trading automation tools.

3.2. QuantumEdge is NOT a broker-dealer, investment advisor, custodian, exchange, or financial institution.

3.3. QuantumEdge does NOT provide investment advice, financial advice, tax advice, or personalized recommendations. QuantumEdge does not recommend specific assets, trading pairs, strategies, allocations, or portfolio structures. No content, feature, metric, or display on the Platform constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or allocate any asset or to adopt any particular trading strategy.

3.4. No fiduciary relationship, advisory relationship, or agency relationship is created between QuantumEdge and any User.

3.5. QuantumEdge does NOT custody, hold, control, or have withdrawal access to User funds at any time. All funds remain in the User's Exchange account.

3.6. The Platform operates on a non-custodial, execution-only basis using trade-limited API keys provided by the User.

3.7. Informational Displays Only. Any metrics, analytics, performance data, leaderboards, risk scores, backtest results, or statistical displays shown on the Platform are for informational purposes only. They do not constitute investment advice, performance guarantees, or endorsements of any strategy, asset, or trading approach. You should not rely on Platform-displayed metrics as the sole basis for any trading or investment decision.

3.8. Strategy Templates Are Tools, Not Recommendations. Strategy templates, pre-configured strategies, and marketplace offerings available on the Platform are software tools provided for User convenience. Their availability on the Platform does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or representation by QuantumEdge that any strategy is suitable for any particular User, risk profile, or market condition. Past performance of any strategy template — whether live or backtested — does not guarantee or indicate future results.

3.9. User Sole Discretion. You retain sole and exclusive discretion over all deployment decisions, capital allocation, strategy selection, parameter configuration, risk threshold settings, and trading pair selections. QuantumEdge executes your instructions only and does not exercise discretion over your trading activity or capital.

4.1. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.

4.2. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

4.3. You must enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) when available.

4.4. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

4.5. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account.

5.1. To use trading features, you must connect a valid Exchange API key with trade permissions.

5.2. You must not grant withdrawal permissions to any API key connected to QuantumEdge. You are solely responsible for ensuring withdrawal permissions are disabled.

5.3. QuantumEdge will only use API keys for the purposes of executing trades, reading account balances, and monitoring positions as directed by your configured strategies.

5.4. You may revoke API access at any time through your Exchange account settings.

5.5. QuantumEdge encrypts API keys at rest and in transit. See our Security & API Key Handling Disclosure for details.

6.1. You acknowledge that automated trading involves significant risk, including the risk of total loss of capital.

6.2. Strategies execute trades based on algorithmic logic and parameters configured by the User. QuantumEdge does not guarantee any specific outcome.

6.3. QuantumEdge may auto-pause or stop Deployments under risk management rules, including but not limited to drawdown limits, exchange connectivity failures, or anomalous market conditions.

6.4. QuantumEdge may halt all platform trading activity globally in the event of systemic risk, exchange outages, or platform integrity concerns ("Platform Halt").

6.5. Past performance of any strategy, including backtested results, does not guarantee future results.

6.6. Backtested performance is hypothetical, has inherent limitations, and does not account for all real-world trading conditions including slippage, liquidity, and exchange fees.

6.7. Platform Availability. Access to the Platform may be interrupted, degraded, or unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, software upgrades, Exchange API outages, internet or telecommunications failures, infrastructure disruptions, security incidents, or other events beyond QuantumEdge's reasonable control. QuantumEdge does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or error-free access to the Platform or to trade execution services. During periods of unavailability, active Deployments may be paused and open orders on the Exchange will remain and are the User's sole responsibility.

6.8. Infrastructure and Exchange Risk. You acknowledge that the Platform depends on third-party infrastructure and Exchange services that are outside QuantumEdge's control. Specifically: (a) the Exchange (Kraken for MVP) may experience API outages, degraded performance, rate limiting, unannounced changes to API behavior, or operational restrictions that prevent or delay trade execution; (b) cloud infrastructure providers may experience outages, data center failures, or service degradations that affect Platform availability; (c) network latency, internet disruptions, or telecommunications failures between QuantumEdge's infrastructure and the Exchange may cause orders to be submitted or filled at prices materially different from intended prices; (d) orders submitted to the Exchange may be delayed, rejected, partially filled, or fail entirely due to Exchange-side validation, insufficient funds, or market conditions; (e) the Platform may operate in a degraded mode during partial outages, in which some features are available and others are not. QuantumEdge is not responsible for losses caused by Exchange failures, third-party infrastructure disruptions, or network conditions.

6.9. Model and Strategy Risk. You acknowledge that algorithmic trading strategies rely on quantitative models and assumptions that may prove incorrect. Specifically: (a) all algorithms operate on assumptions about market behavior that are inherently simplifications and may be wrong; (b) strategies calibrated on historical data may fail when historical correlations break down; (c) model overfitting to historical data may produce strategies that perform well in backtesting but fail in live markets; (d) extreme market events, regime changes, or structural shifts in market microstructure may invalidate strategy assumptions without warning; (e) strategy parameter sensitivity means that small changes in configuration may produce materially different outcomes; (f) any auto-adjustment, auto-pause, or risk management feature provided by the Platform is a safeguard mechanism, not a guarantee of loss prevention or improved performance.

7.1. You are solely responsible for selecting, configuring, and monitoring your trading strategies.

7.2. You are solely responsible for all tax reporting obligations arising from trading activity.

7.3. You are responsible for understanding the risks of algorithmic trading and cryptocurrency markets.

7.4. You are responsible for maintaining sufficient funds in your Exchange account.

7.5. You must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and Exchange terms of service.

7.6. Capital Allocation Responsibility. You are solely responsible for your total capital allocation across all active Deployments. You acknowledge that: (a) multiple Strategies or Deployments may trade the same asset, trading pair, or market simultaneously, which may result in concentrated exposure or conflicting positions; (b) the aggregate capital committed across all Deployments is determined by your configurations and is your sole responsibility to monitor and manage; (c) Platform-imposed risk limits (including drawdown thresholds, auto-pause triggers, and position size limits) are safeguard mechanisms designed to mitigate risk — they are not guarantees against overexposure, concentrated losses, or capital depletion; (d) QuantumEdge does not guarantee prevention of overexposure, margin calls, liquidation events, or losses exceeding any particular threshold; (e) it is your responsibility to ensure that your total capital allocation, across all Deployments and strategies, is consistent with your risk tolerance and financial situation.
