Terms & Conditions

1. Definitions

“License” means a right to use node software provided by an external ecosystem or issuer.
“Software” means node or related software authored, owned, or issued by third-party ecosystems, not by us.
“Ecosystem Issuer” means the third party that creates/maintains the Software and controls licensing terms for that Software.
“Platform” means our website and services available at blockterminal.sh.

2. Scope of Services

We operate a marketplace facilitating the sale and distribution of Licenses to node software across different ecosystems. We do not distribute or maintain the Software itself, and we do not control how the Software operates. Our responsibility is limited to making Licenses available to you and recording your purchase.

3. Software & Rewards Disclaimer

• The Software is obtained directly or indirectly from the relevant Ecosystem Issuer. We are not the issuer, developer, auditor, or maintainer.
• We make no guarantees as to Software performance, uptime, security, compatibility, or fitness for any particular purpose.
• We have no liability for any rewards, yields, fees, penalties, slashing, missed rewards, downtime, or any on-chain or off-chain outcome.
• No investment advice or offer: purchasing a License is not a purchase of a security, investment product, or expectation of profit. You are buying a right to run Software on your own terms and infrastructure.

4. Licenses: Nature, Use & Restrictions

• Licenses are granted by the relevant Ecosystem Issuer; we facilitate sale and record-keeping.
• You may run the Software wherever you choose, subject to the Ecosystem Issuer’s terms and applicable laws.
• Non-transferable: Licenses are non-transferable unless expressly permitted by the Ecosystem Issuer and our Platform in writing.
• No returns: All License sales are final and non-refundable, except as expressly set out in Section 8 (Aventus Exception).

5. Payments & Wallet

Payment for Licenses must be made on-chain to our master wallet: 0xB4a6f384d05D6c8f5229Ba0fCd4169b2fb5D1ccd. Do not send funds elsewhere. You are responsible for network fees and selecting appropriate gas settings, sending from a wallet you control and are the owner of, confirming the transaction details before sending funds. Transactions sent to incorrect or unauthorized addresses are irreversible, and we are not liable for any losses resulting from user error, network congestion, blockchain malfunction of down-time, or any third aprty failures. We do not custody your funds (see Section 7). All payments are recorded on-chain for verification and audit purposes.

6. KYC/AML & Right to Refuse

• We use third-party providers (e.g., SumSub and ScoreChain) to perform KYC and AML checks.
• We do not store your KYC/AML documentation; we receive pass/fail or equivalent signals.
• We may, at our sole discretion, decline to sell or revoke access to a License if required by law, policy, or risk controls, including adverse KYC/AML results.

7. No Custody

We do not custody, stake, delegate, or otherwise manage your assets. We only accept payment for Licenses. Performance of the License and honoring of rights under that License are the responsibility of the relevant Ecosystem Issuer.

8. Refunds & Aventus Exception

• General Rule: All License sales are final and non-refundable.
• Specific Exception — Aventus Cloud Node Sale (Founding Tranche): If the Aventus Foundation does not collectively sell its founding tranche of 2,000 nodes within three (3) months of the sale start, all node sellers are required to issue reimbursements to buyers of founding tranche Licenses. In that event only, we will return your payment for affected founding tranche Licenses. All other ecosystems and all other Aventus Node Cloud tranches are non-refundable.Refunds will be processed only to the original wallet address used for purchase. The user is responsible for making sure the wallet remains accessible. Refund amounts exclude any blockchain network fees, gas costs, or currency fluctuations. We are not responsible for delays or failures cuased by blockchain congestion, down-time or thrid-party issues.

9. Referrals

We may offer referral rewards. Eligibility, rates, form of payment, timing, and any conditions are determined at our absolute discretion and may be changed, withheld, or discontinued at any time. Referral rewards, if any, may be paid in any medium we decide, and only after successful completion of any required checks and waiting periods.

10. Promotions, Discounts & Booster Packs

From time to time, we may offer promotions, bundles, discounts, loyalty programs, or other incentives (collectively, “Promotions”). This includes, without limitation, promotional packages branded as Booster Packs, which may contain multiple node License allocations, or other forms of promotional benefits. All Promotions are designed, managed, and may be modified, suspended, or withdrawn entirely at our absolute discretion and without prior notice.

• Promotions may include discounted pricing, bundle offers, or enhanced License allocations such as “2x Performance Licenses,” “Boosted Licenses,” or similar variations intended to provide additional node capacity or higher notional yield.
• The existence of a Promotion does not guarantee availability, eligibility, or continued access to its terms. All offers are time-limited, subject to change, and may be revoked or altered at any time without obligation to notify Users in advance.
• Booster Packs may specify the possibility of receiving a 2x Performance License or Boosted License. The probability or frequency of receiving such a License is variable and determined solely by us. It may be changed, reduced, or set to zero (0%) at any time, without obligation to disclose the current probability or distribution.
• Promotional odds or representations (e.g., “chance of obtaining a boosted License”) are illustrative and not binding. They do not constitute guarantees, warranties, or enforceable promises. We shall bear no responsibility for any perceived discrepancy between marketing materials and actual distribution outcomes.
• The founding tranche of the Aventus Cloud Node Sale will not include any 2x Performance Licenses or Boosted Licenses, even if general promotional materials reference such possibilities. Such promotional features apply only to tranches beyond the founding tranche and to other ecosystem sales, at our discretion.
• Users acknowledge and agree that no claim may be made against us, our partners, or affiliates for any unfulfilled promotional representation, including but not limited to non-receipt of boosted or enhanced Licenses, discounts, or bundle benefits.
• All Promotions are provided “as is,” and we make no warranties as to value, availability, or outcomes. We reserve the right to interpret, suspend, or terminate any Promotion at any time.

Participation in any Promotion constitutes your acknowledgment that all promotional materials are illustrative and non-binding, and that you accept the associated terms, including the possibility of no promotional benefit being delivered. You agree that you will not hold us liable for any difference between promotional communications and realized outcomes.
