These Terms govern your use of the Vant8 trading-automation platform. Read them carefully — by using Vant8 you agree to be bound by them.
Effective 2026-06-30 · Last updated 2026-06-30
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a legally binding contract between you and [Vant8 Legal Entity Name], registered at [Registered Office Address](“Vant8”, “we”, “us”), and govern your access to and use of our website, applications, APIs, and trading-automation services (collectively, the “Services”).
By creating an account, connecting an exchange API key, signing a transaction with a wallet derived through our infrastructure, or otherwise using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Risk Disclosure, and our Acceptable Use Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.
To use the Services you must:
We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to provide the Services to any person and may, at any time, require additional verification or terminate accounts that are or become ineligible under this section.
Vant8 is a trading-automation platform that operates two distinct custody models. You choose which model applies to a given activity when you configure it.
Non-custodial mode (default for connected venues). When you connect your own centralized-exchange account through trade-only API keys, your assets remain at the exchange and your keys never leave your possession with respect to withdrawals. When you connect your own browser wallet through EIP-1193 or WalletConnect v2, your private keys stay in your wallet and you sign each transaction yourself. In this mode we do not custody your funds.
Custodial mode (opt-in, specific surfaces only). Two surfaces involve Vant8 holding either your funds or your signing key on your behalf:
Where Vant8 custodies your funds or your signing key under either of these custodial surfaces, the protections that apply to regulated custodians do not apply to us — see the Risk Disclosure for what that means in practice.
Other defining characteristics:
You must register an account to use most Services. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep that information up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and any second-factor authentication device. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
When you connect an exchange account you must supply API keys with read and trade permissions only. You must not enable withdrawal scopes on keys supplied to Vant8. We refuse withdrawal scopes by configuration where the exchange permits scope inspection, and we will not be liable for losses arising from API keys that you enabled with broader scope than the Services require.
Wallets used for DEX execution are derived from key material that we encrypt and store on your behalf using a key path under your control. You remain solely responsible for the underlying key material, for any seed phrase or backup you record, and for any direct on-chain action you take with those wallets outside the Services.
You must notify us immediately at support@vant8.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account, your exchange API keys, or your DEX wallets. We are not liable for losses arising before we have a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice.
Some features require a paid subscription. Subscription fees, billing cycles, and any usage-based charges are disclosed at the point of purchase and on the Pricing page. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle until you cancel.
Payments are processed by Stripe under separate terms between you and Stripe. We do not store full payment-card numbers. Refunds, where offered, follow the policy disclosed at the point of purchase. Subscription fees are quoted exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for any sales, value-added, withholding, or similar taxes that apply.
We may change subscription pricing or feature inclusion from time to time. Changes apply at your next billing cycle, and you can cancel before that cycle begins to avoid the new price.
Trading decisions executed through the Services are your decisions. This is true whether you (a) configure and deploy a strategy manually, (b) deploy a strategy recommended by Strategy AI, or (c) authorize the Smart Order Router to choose a venue for a given order. In every case, you initiate, authorize, and remain responsible for the trade and its outcome.
You acknowledge that automated strategies can lose money rapidly and continuously, that leveraged positions can be liquidated and result in losses exceeding your initial margin, that markets can become unavailable or move discontinuously, that exchange APIs can fail or rate-limit, that blockchain transactions can fail or be reordered, and that none of these conditions create a claim against Vant8.
Your use of the Services must comply with the Acceptable Use Policy. Conduct prohibited there includes — without limitation — market manipulation, wash trading, attempting to defraud exchanges or counterparties, money laundering, evading sanctions, infringing intellectual property rights, reverse-engineering the Services, and using the Services from a Restricted Jurisdiction.
The Services interoperate with third-party platforms — including but not limited to centralized exchanges, blockchain networks, decentralized exchanges, wallets, payment processors, identity-verification providers, and messaging platforms (e.g., Telegram). We are not responsible for the conduct, availability, accuracy, pricing, security, or liquidity of any third-party platform. Your relationship with any third-party platform is governed by that platform’s own terms.
The Services, including the software, algorithms, models, designs, text, graphics, and other content provided by Vant8, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Services for your own personal or internal business purposes, subject to these Terms. You retain ownership of any content you create or submit; you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, store, reproduce, and process that content as necessary to operate the Services.
Some features are explicitly labelled as “beta”, “preview”, “experimental”, or similar. Those features are provided as-is, may change or disappear without notice, and are excluded from any service-level expectations. Do not rely on a beta feature for production trading.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” AND “AS-AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT (A) THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (B) ANY INFORMATION, INCLUDING BACKTESTS, AI RECOMMENDATIONS, FILL-PROBABILITY ESTIMATES, OR VENUE SCORES, IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE; OR (C) USE OF THE SERVICES WILL ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR FINANCIAL OUTCOME.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL VANT8, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the limitations above apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or wilful misconduct.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vant8 and its affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to (a) your use of the Services, (b) your violation of these Terms or any policy referenced in them, (c) your trades, including trades executed via automation, (d) your violation of any law or any third-party right, and (e) any content you submit to the Services.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, if maintaining your account creates risk to us or to other users, or if we discontinue any part of the Services. You may close your account at any time from your account settings.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including disclaimers, limits of liability, indemnity, intellectual-property terms, governing law, and dispute resolution — will survive.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified to you in advance by email or in-product notice. Continued use of the Services after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services before the effective date.
These Terms are governed by the laws of [Governing Jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from or related to these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively by [Arbitration Body / Courts].
You agree to bring any claim individually and not as a class member, and you waive any right to a jury trial to the maximum extent permitted by law.
These Terms, together with the documents they reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Vant8 regarding the Services. If any provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in force. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Notices to us must be sent to legal@vant8.com.
