// LEGAL & SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

Terms of Service

EFFECTIVE DATE: AUGUST 2026 · VERSION 2.1 · JURISDICTION: DECENTRALIZED CODE-BASED INFRASTRUCTURE

⚠️ CRITICAL REGULATORY & RISK NOTICE:
Kinqo AI Technologies provides autonomous, algorithmic software infrastructure ("SaaS"). We are NOT an investment fund, registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial intermediary. We do not manage client funds or offer financial advice. Trading cryptocurrency futures and leveraged derivatives involves substantial risk of capital loss. Past performance (including Out-of-Sample OOS telemetry) does not guarantee future results.

01 / Nature of the Software & License Grant

By accessing or subscribing to the ARTEMIS protocol, Client Terminal, or API gateways (collectively, the "Software"), you enter into a binding Software License Agreement with Kinqo AI Technologies ("we", "us", or "our").

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to utilize our cloud-based algorithmic execution and telemetry pipeline strictly for personal or institutional quantitative research and autonomous execution on your own Binance Futures account.

02 / Strictly Non-Custodial Architecture

The Software is architected from the ground up as a 100% non-custodial system:

Zero Fund Custody: All capital, margin collateral, and open derivatives positions reside exclusively within your Binance Futures account.
Strict API Key Policy: You must connect only API keys with Enable Reading and Enable Futures permissions. You must NEVER provide API keys with withdrawal permissions. Any key detected with withdrawal capability is rejected and severed immediately.
IP Whitelisting: You are responsible for binding your API keys to our dedicated static AWS Elastic IPs for your protection.

03 / "AS-IS" Warranty & Market Risk Disclaimers

The Software is provided strictly on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.

      NO WARRANTY OF PROFITABILITY: KINQO AI TECHNOLOGIES DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE USE OF ARTEMIS WILL RESULT IN PROFITS OR POSITIVE FINANCIAL EXPECTANCY. TRADING CRYPTOCURRENCIES ON LEVERAGE CARRIES SEVERE RISK, INCLUDING TOTAL LIQUIDATION OF POSITION MARGIN.
    

You expressly acknowledge that algorithmic trading is subject to external vulnerabilities beyond our control, including but not limited to: Binance exchange API outages, network congestion, sudden bid/ask spread blowouts, exchange liquidation engine mechanics, and high slippage during volatile macro events.

04 / Limitation of Liability (Liability Cap)

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Kinqo AI Technologies, its developers, operators, contributors, or affiliates be liable for:

Any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages.
Any financial losses, margin liquidations, lost trading opportunities, or drawdown in your Binance account.
Any exchange rate fluctuations or third-party service failures (AWS, Binance, Polygon Network).

      LIABILITY CEILING: IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, OUR MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR SUBSCRIPTION ACCESS IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING ONE (1) MONTH PERIOD ($49 USD OR CRYPTO EQUIVALENT).
    

05 / Subscriptions, Account Capacity & Profit Share Exemption

Subscription access fees are settled on-chain via supported digital currencies (USDC, USDT, BTC, LTC).

Early Adopter 12-Month Exemption: Standard Alpha Cohort licenses include a temporary twelve (12) month exemption from profit-sharing performance fees, allowing the user to retain 100% of generated alpha during the Phase 2 telemetry period.
Account Capital Capacity: Standard Monthly subscription licenses are calibrated and authorized for trading accounts with up to $5,000 USDT in deployed futures capital; Annual Cohort licenses are authorized for up to $10,000 USDT. Accounts exceeding these thresholds or requiring institutional multi-account management (MAM/PAMM) must operate under institutional desk agreements.
All Sales Final: Due to the instant delivery of computational resources, cloud gateway provisioning, and unique 48-character API tokens, all crypto subscription sales are final and strictly non-refundable.
Network Confirmations: Access is automatically provisioned once the required blockchain confirmations are recorded. You are responsible for sending the exact invoice amount to avoid underpayment stalls.
Cancellation: You may cancel or discontinue your subscription at any time by revoking your API keys or refraining from renewing your invoice upon expiration.

06 / User Representations & Prohibited Jurisdictions

By using the Software, you certify that:

You are of legal age in your jurisdiction and possess the requisite knowledge of derivative financial instruments and algorithmic risk.
You are not a citizen, resident, or entity located in any jurisdiction where cryptocurrency futures trading is prohibited by law (including jurisdictions sanctioned by OFAC).
You will not use the Software for market manipulation, wash trading, or illegal activity.

07 / Intellectual Property & Code Integrity

All proprietary algorithms, machine learning cohort architectures, feature matrices, Trajectory exit heuristics, and web interfaces remain the exclusive intellectual property of Kinqo AI Technologies.

Unauthorized reverse engineering, decompilation, scraping, or resale of access tokens is strictly prohibited. Research methodologies published under our Zenodo open-access preprint (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18841943) must be cited in accordance with the CC BY 4.0 license.
