Terms of Service

Last updated: June 2026  ·  Quakenode

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using the Quakenode platform. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Definitions

"Company," "we," "us," or "our" refers to Quakenode.

"Platform" refers to all software, APIs, dashboards, documentation, and related services provided by Quakenode under the quakenode.com domain and associated subdomains.

"Client," "you," or "your" refers to any individual or entity that accesses or uses the Platform.

"API Key" refers to the authentication credential issued to you to access the Platform.

"Strategy" refers to a rule set configured by you that triggers automated actions upon defined conditions.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

To use the Platform you must: (a) be at least 18 years of age; (b) have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction; and (c) not be prohibited from using financial technology services under applicable law.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your API keys and account credentials. You must notify us immediately at signal@quakenode.com if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.

3. Nature of the Service — Not Financial Advice

Important: Quakenode is a technology platform. We provide software tools for event ingestion, signal scoring, and trade execution. We do not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or portfolio management services. Nothing on the Platform constitutes a solicitation or recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument.

All trading decisions, strategy configurations, and risk parameters are made solely by you. You are fully responsible for any financial positions entered through the Platform. Past performance of any strategy does not guarantee future results.

4. Permitted Use

You may use the Platform solely for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

5. API Access and Usage Limits

Your API access tier determines applicable rate limits, event throughput, and execution volume. Exceeding limits may result in temporary throttling. Sustained abuse may result in suspension. Usage is measured and billed in accordance with your subscription plan.

We reserve the right to modify rate limits and API endpoints at any time with reasonable notice. Breaking changes to stable endpoints will be communicated at least 90 days in advance via email and the API changelog.

6. Automated Execution and Risk

The Platform enables automated order placement across connected exchanges. You acknowledge that:

We strongly recommend testing all strategies in sandbox mode before enabling live execution.

7. Data and Intellectual Property

All platform software, algorithms, AI models, event data pipelines, and documentation are the exclusive intellectual property of Quakenode. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Platform solely as described in these Terms.

Data you input into the Platform (strategy configurations, order parameters) remains your property. We may use anonymised, aggregated usage data to improve the Platform. We will not sell your identifiable data to third parties.

8. Uptime and Service Availability

We target 99.9% uptime for the API and event stream. Planned maintenance is communicated in advance where possible. We are not liable for losses resulting from service interruptions, provided we have made reasonable efforts to maintain availability and provide notice.

Exchange connectivity depends on third-party venues outside our control. We do not guarantee fill rates, execution prices, or venue availability.

9. Fees and Payment

Subscription fees are invoiced monthly in advance. Execution volume fees are invoiced monthly in arrears. Fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. We reserve the right to modify pricing with 30 days' notice. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate the agreement at any time with 30 days' written notice. We may suspend or terminate access immediately if we reasonably believe you are in material breach of these Terms, particularly provisions relating to lawful use or API abuse.

Upon termination, your API keys will be revoked and access to the Platform will cease. We will retain your data for 90 days after termination before permanent deletion, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Quakenode's total aggregate liability to you in connection with these Terms shall not exceed the total fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

In no event shall Quakenode be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, trading losses, or loss of data, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
