Terms of Service

1.1 Binding Engagement. This Agreement is executed between DIGITAL EDGE WAVE LTD, a software development and technology services company incorporated in England and Wales (Company No. 15074564), registered at 483 Green Lanes, London, N13 4BS ("AlbaTherium", "Company", "we", "us") and the subscriber, institutional firm, or registered operator ("Client", "User", "you"). Accessing any AlbaTherium client services verifies complete ratification without reservation.

1.2 Age & Legal Capacity. The Platform is engineered strictly for legal entities and individuals aged eighteen (18) years or older possessing capacity to execute unconditioned contracts. By activating an account, you warrant that you are of the legal majority required by your domestic jurisdiction.

1.3 Account Classifications (Individual vs Institutional Desks). AlbaTherium provisions two functional tiers of operational access:

1.4 Restricted Jurisdictions. AlbaTherium actively restricts service deployment in jurisdictions sanctioned under OFAC, FATF High-Risk regimes, or local statutory prohibitions against synthetic liquidity models.

2.1 Software Suite Scope. AlbaTherium delivers a multi-faceted analytical interface comprising:

• The AlbaTherium Browser-Native Web Terminal (WebGL Orderbook Renderer).
• AlbaTherium High-Performance Desktop Client (Rust/C++ low-latency socket engine).
• Real-time telemetry, tick aggregators, and Footprint depth-of-market matrices.
• Proprietary quantitative indicator assemblies including Kinematic Venturius, WABISABI Adaptive Trend Engine, and Hyper-Volumetric Profile Analyzers.

2.2 Availability & Maintenance SLAs. AlbaTherium endeavors to sustain 99.9% uptime across server aggregation clusters during continuous futures trading sessions (Sunday 18:00 EST to Friday 17:00 EST). Scheduled zero-downtime maintenance updates occur during exchange halt windows.

3.1 Credential Fiduciary Duty. You are exclusively responsible for safeguarding master login credentials, cryptographic session tokens, and local encrypted vault seeds. AlbaTherium personnel will never query your plaintext passwords or private brokerage API master secrets.

3.2 Brokerage API Keys & Rithmic Credentials. Client accounts interfacing with third-party feeds (e.g., Rithmic 01/R|Trader, Interactive Brokers, CQG, Tradovate) store credentials strictly inside AES-256-GCM local storage or sandboxed memory segments. AlbaTherium disclaims any liability stemming from compromised client hardware or local trojan injections.

3.3 Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Enforcement of Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) or hardware FIDO2 keys is mandatory for all accounts operating live execution modules. Deactivation of MFA immediately voids performance warranty protections.

4.1 Tier Structure & Pricing (USD / Multi-Currency Settlement). All primary subscription tier pricing is expressed and benchmarked in United States Dollars (USD), which serves as the international liquidity benchmark across global futures trading venues (CME, prop firms, market data grids). For United Kingdom, European Union, and international clients, payments facilitated via Stripe and Payabl support seamless native settlement in British Pounds Sterling (GBP - £) and Euros (EUR - €) calculated transparently at prevailing wholesale interbank spot rates without additional platform conversion surcharges.

4.2 Payment Processing & Authorized Gateways (PCI-DSS Compliance). Payment processing services for AlbaTherium are facilitated and cleared exclusively through authorized Level 1 PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment gateways, specifically Stripe, Inc. and Payabl (payabl. solutions GmbH / Payabl Services), or licensed acquiring banking partners. DIGITAL EDGE WAVE LTD does not store, process, host, or transmit raw cardholder details (Primary Account Numbers [PAN] or Card Verification Values [CVV]) directly on our servers. All sensitive cardholder credential tokens are tokenized directly via the payment processors' certified client-side SDKs and encrypted checkouts.

4.3 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee, Refund Policy & Procedure. New individual subscribers to recurring software subscription tiers (Aurora, Horizon) are eligible for an unconditional 100% money-back guarantee within fourteen (14) calendar days of initial checkout.

• How to Request a Refund: To initiate a refund, submit a written claim to support@albatherium.com with the subject line Legal or Compliance - Refund Request, specifying your registered email address and transaction reference ID.
• Refund Processing Timeline: Approved refunds will be executed within 5 to 10 business days directly to the original payment method utilized at checkout via Stripe or Payabl. Processing times may vary slightly based on your issuing bank.
• Non-Refundable Items: Third-party exchange connectivity pass-through fees (CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX, Eurex, Databento) and perpetual lifetime licenses are non-refundable once activated, as exchange tariffs are directly remitted to market data clearinghouses.

4.4 Cancellation & Auto-Renewal Policy. Recurring subscriptions automatically renew at the close of each billing cycle unless cancelled prior to the renewal date. Customers may cancel auto-renewal at any time through the terminal Settings → Subscription portal, or by contacting customer support before the billing rollover. Upon cancellation, your access remains valid through the conclusion of the paid billing interval without early termination penalties or hidden fees.

4.5 Chargeback Prevention & Merchant Dispute Handling. Prior to initiating a credit or debit card dispute, retrieval request, or chargeback with your financial institution, you agree to contact AlbaTherium at support@albatherium.com to resolve any billing errors, duplicate transactions, or service inquiries. In the event of an unjustified chargeback, DIGITAL EDGE WAVE LTD reserves the right to suspend account access pending formal dispute review and documentation submission to Stripe or Payabl acquiring channels.

4.6 Immediate Digital Fulfillment & Software Provisioning. All AlbaTherium software products and services are purely digital SaaS deliverables. Fulfillment occurs instantaneously upon verified transaction authorization by the payment gateway, issuing cryptographic session keys and unlocking terminal feature flags in real time without physical shipment requirements.

4.7 Merchant Billing Descriptor Identification. Transactions processed through Stripe or Payabl will appear on the cardholder's bank or credit card billing statements under the official identifying descriptors: DIGITAL EDGE WAVE LTD or ALBATHERIUM / DEW LTD.

4.8 Promotional Codes, Affiliate Referral Commissions & Prescription Rewards. DIGITAL EDGE WAVE LTD may periodically issue authorized promotional coupon codes, voucher passes, partner incentives (e.g., trading group referrals, seasonal promotions), referral commissions, or introductory discount rates. The application of any promotional coupon code, affiliate tracking mechanism, or partner referral benefit is subject to the following explicit terms:

• Term & Duration Limitations: Unless explicitly identified in writing as a permanent lifetime concession, promotional discounts apply strictly to the designated inaugural term (e.g., the first 3 months or initial single billing cycle). Following the conclusion of the specified promotional window, the subscription automatically renews at the standard published non-discounted recurring rate without prior notice required.
• Non-Transferability & No Cash Value: Promotional codes have zero cash redemption value, are non-transferable between accounts or distinct trading desks, and cannot be exchanged for credits, cash refunds, or retroactive balance adjustments on previous billing statements.
• Non-Stacking Policy: Only one (1) promotional code or coupon may be applied per checkout or active billing account. Coupons cannot be stacked or combined with concurrent institutional waivers, multi-seat reductions, or exchange fee rebates.
• Abuse Prevention & Revocation: Unauthorized public distribution, coupon code manipulation, automated scraping, or multi-account registration to evade promotional limitations constitutes a breach of this Agreement. DIGITAL EDGE WAVE LTD reserves the right to immediately invalidate abusive discount codes, revert accounts to standard baseline pricing, and debit outstanding balance discrepancies.
• Affiliate & Partner Remuneration: Third parties, authorized affiliates, content creators, institutional introducers, and prescription partners may receive performance-based referral fees, revenue share, or commissions for qualified user referrals generated via unique partner promo codes or tracking links.
• Independent Contractor & Non-Agency Relationship: All affiliates and referring third parties operate strictly as independent contractors. No employment, agency, joint venture, or fiduciary relationship is created between DIGITAL EDGE WAVE LTD and any referrer. Affiliates have no authority to bind or make commitments on behalf of the company.
• Regulatory Compliance & Disclosures (FTC / UK CAP Code / FCA): Referring parties and affiliates must conspicuously disclose their commercial referral relationship and financial incentive in compliance with applicable advertising laws (such as FTC guidelines, UK Advertising Standards Authority / CAP Code, and applicable financial promotions rules). Referring parties are strictly prohibited from providing unauthorized investment advice or making false performance claims.
• Commission Qualification & Clawbacks: Referral compensation is earned solely on bona fide, non-refunded subscription payments. Commissions resulting from self-referrals, fraudulent accounts, chargebacks, or reversed transactions are subject to immediate disqualification and clawback.

5.1 Limited Revocable License. AlbaTherium grants the authenticated user a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide license to utilize our terminal binaries and web interfaces for proprietary analytical processing.

5.2 Algorithm Protection. All algorithmic architectures, mathematical equations supporting Kinematic Venturius, WABISABI, neural order-flow predictive weights, and custom PineScript/C++ bindings represent valuable trade secrets owned entirely by DIGITAL EDGE WAVE LTD.

6.1 Rithmic & Databento Conduit. Live tick feeds and Level 2/3 historical books are supplied via independent vendor conduits including Rithmic LLC and Databento Inc. While AlbaTherium architects redundant failover pipes, we do not warrant continuity of exchange multicast packet streams.

6.2 Professional vs Non-Professional Status. Subscribers must accurately attest to their trading classification in accordance with CME Group and CFTC criteria. Falsification of “Non-Professional” status to circumvent institutional data tariffs incurs immediate retroactive back-billing and legal escalation.

7.1 Autonomous Processing & Analytical Heuristics. AlbaTherium integrates experimental multi-agent cognitive architecture (Candela & MCP Agent Framework) providing probabilistic contextual orderflow signals, liquidity sweep estimations, and volatility predictions.

7.2 Zero Autonomous Execution Guarantee. All AI-synthesized outputs, algorithmic signals, and Candela agent recommendations are strictly informational heuristics. Under no circumstances does the AI engine execute non-discretionary autonomous trade routing without explicit manual user confirmation or configured rule parameters.

8.1 As-Is Analytical Service Warranty Disclaimer. The platform, analytical indicators, and WebGL terminal interfaces are delivered on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of merchantability, uptime continuity, or profitability.

8.2 Consequential Damages & Cap on Liability. Under no circumstances shall DIGITAL EDGE WAVE LTD or its directors be liable for lost profits, capital drawdown, slippage, exchange liquidation, or trading losses. The maximum aggregate liability under any legal theory is strictly capped at the fees paid during the prior three (3) months.

9.1 Mutual Termination Rights. Either party may terminate access at the expiration of the active billing interval. Immediate termination without notice applies in cases of reverse engineering, unauthorized API scraping, or abusive chargeback filings.

9.2 Post-Termination Protocol. Upon termination, authentication tokens and terminal binaries are revoked immediately. Provisions relating to intellectual property, arbitration, and liability limitations survive termination.

10.1 Jurisdiction (England and Wales). This Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

10.2 Dispute Resolution & Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in London, United Kingdom under the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) Rules or applicable standard UK commercial arbitration framework.

10.3 Legal Inquiries & Notice Service. Official legal notices must be formally dispatched in writing to:
