Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-09-22 · §2.1 corrected to describe the service actually sold. §§3–15 — risk, warranty, liability, indemnification, intellectual property, termination, governing law and arbitration — are unchanged from the 2026-03-08 text.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the KAIROS Signal platform, website (kairossignal.com), API, WebSocket feed, or any associated services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.

Kairos Signal ("we," "us," "our") reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Nature of Service

2.1 Measured Data, Informational and Educational Only

Kairos Signal is a data measurement and provenance platform created for informational and educational purposes. The Service provides:

• Supply-side telemetry for decentralised physical infrastructure networks — node and device counts, capacity, utilisation, token supply and on-chain activity, collected from each network's own published sources
• A provenance record attached to every value — its source, its as_of timestamp and a verify_url for the upstream API, so any figure can be re-read at origin; values that stop flowing are reported absent and flagged stale rather than estimated, back-filled or zero-filled
• World-infrastructure observations — a separate estate of physical sectors (maritime, aviation, grid, seismic, rail and others) served on the same provenance terms
• Research and model output, presented separately and labelled as such — including correlation-geometry vectors, regime classifications and probability estimates, published together with their negative results
• Cryptographically verifiable delivery records — payload hashes and daily Merkle roots anchored to Bitcoin, for transparency and auditability
• Historical data, coverage metrics, and research tools

The Service does NOT provide:

• Investment advice, recommendations, or solicitations of any kind
• Guarantees of any financial outcome or return
• Broker-dealer, custodial, or fiduciary services
• Trade execution, order routing, or portfolio management services
• Personalized financial planning or tailored investment strategies

2.2 Not a Registered Entity

Kairos Signal is not registered as a broker-dealer, investment advisor, commodity trading advisor, or any other regulated financial entity with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the National Futures Association (NFA), or any state, provincial, or foreign regulatory body. We do not hold any licenses to provide financial services.

2.3 Experimental and Research-Grade

All models, algorithms, and analytical outputs are experimental, research-grade, and provided for educational purposes. They are the product of ongoing computational research. Past performance of any model, backtest, or signal — including any displayed signal accuracys, accuracy metrics, or return figures — is absolutely not indicative of future results. Markets change. Models fail. You can and will lose money if you trade based on any data from this Service.

2.4 Forward-Looking Statements

Any forward-looking information, including but not limited to signal predictions, probability estimates, directional forecasts, win-rate projections, and regime classifications, are opinions based on mathematical models and not statements of fact. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from any projections.
