Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the TetraFi platform (the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and TetraFi Ltd ("TetraFi", "we", "us"), a company registered in England and Wales with registered address at 167-169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London, W1W 5PF.
Eligibility
The Platform is available exclusively to institutional participants: asset managers, corporate treasuries, family offices, brokers, liquidity providers, and market makers. Retail users are not permitted to use the Platform.
You must complete KYC/KYB verification and maintain a valid ComplianceRegistry entry to access trading functionality. You represent that you have the legal authority to bind the entity you represent.
Platform Services
TetraFi provides non-custodial settlement infrastructure including: RFQ-based quote discovery, sealed solver auctions, smart contract escrow for Delivery versus Payment (DvP) settlement, pre-trade compliance checks, and immutable audit trail generation.
TetraFi is an infrastructure operator - we never hold, control, or have access to user funds. All settlements occur through smart contract escrow on supported blockchain networks (currently Optimism and Base).
TetraFi does not provide investment advice, portfolio management, or custody services.
Settlement and Escrow
Trades executed through the Platform settle atomically via smart contract escrow. Both legs of a trade must complete for settlement to occur. If either leg fails, the trade reverts and funds are returned to their origin.
Settlement finality is determined by the underlying blockchain network. TetraFi does not guarantee settlement times beyond the block confirmation guarantees of the relevant network.
You acknowledge that smart contract interactions carry inherent risks including but not limited to: network congestion, oracle failures, and potential smart contract vulnerabilities despite security audits.
Compliance Obligations
All Platform participants are subject to automated pre-trade compliance checks including KYC/KYB verification, sanctions screening (OFAC, EU, UN), Travel Rule transmission (IVMS101), jurisdiction policy enforcement, and volume cap monitoring.
You must maintain accurate and current identity information. Failure to pass compliance checks will result in trade rejection. Persistent compliance failures may result in account suspension.
TetraFi reserves the right to refuse service to any participant based on compliance screening results, regulatory requirements, or jurisdictional restrictions.
Fees
TetraFi charges execution fees on settled trades. Fee schedules are published on the Platform and may be updated with 30 days' notice.
Solvers (liquidity providers) may receive a fee share under the applicable fee schedule. Specific rates are published on the Platform and may be updated with 30 days' notice.
Blockchain network fees (gas costs) are borne by the initiating party and are separate from TetraFi platform fees.
Intellectual Property
All Platform content, software, designs, and documentation are the intellectual property of TetraFi Ltd. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without prior written consent.
Open-source components used in the Platform are subject to their respective licenses.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, TetraFi shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Platform.
TetraFi's total liability for any claim arising from these Terms shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to TetraFi in the 12 months preceding the claim.
This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded by law.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be resolved through the courts of England and Wales, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
