3. Eligibility
3.1 Who can use the Service
You may use the Service if you:
- Are at least 18 years of age
- Are an individual natural person acting on your own behalf, not as a representative of a company, trust, fund, or other entity
- Are a resident of India
- Are not a citizen, national, resident, or located in any country, territory, or region subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control, the European Union, the United Nations, or the Republic of Lithuania
- Are not named on any sanctions, denied persons, or restricted persons list maintained by any of the bodies referenced above
- Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract
3.2 Verification
Wield may verify your eligibility at any time. By using the Service or purchasing Platform Access, you represent and warrant that the eligibility criteria are met. If Wield reasonably determines that the criteria are not met, Wield may suspend or terminate your access and, where lawful, refund any fees paid for unused services.
3.3 Geographic restriction
The Service is offered exclusively to Indian residents. Access from outside India is not supported and may be restricted at the technical level. If you cease to be an Indian resident, the Service is no longer offered to you and Wield may suspend access on becoming aware of the change.
3.4 No advice
Nothing on the Platform, in the channels, or in communications from Wield personnel constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. The Service is a software product, not advisory. Consult appropriate professionals for advice on your individual circumstances.
4. Account and access
4.1 Your account
On purchase, you obtain access to the Wield Platform. Your Platform Access is your account with Wield. You reach the Platform through Wield's interfaces; the login method you use to authenticate is a matter of the interface and does not change the nature of what you have purchased.
4.2 Account security
You are responsible for maintaining the security of the credentials and devices you use to access the Platform. Actions taken through your account are treated as taken by you. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact Wield immediately at legal@wieldhq.com so Wield can suspend access pending resolution.
4.3 One account per person
Each individual natural person may hold only one account with Wield. Creating multiple accounts under different identities to circumvent this rule is a material breach of these Terms.
4.4 Information you provide must be accurate
Information you provide to Wield, including your name, email, and country of residence, must be accurate and complete. You are responsible for keeping this information current. Submission of inaccurate or misleading information is a material breach of these Terms.
5. Platform Access
5.1 What Platform Access is
By paying the Access Fee, you obtain Platform Access to the Wield Platform — Wield's proprietary software environment for working with live market data. On the Platform you develop and express market views, test them against real market movements as they unfold, and receive analytics and structured feedback on how those views perform over time. The Platform is built to help you develop and evidence the quality of your market judgment.
No real assets are bought, sold, or held on the Platform, and no order placed on the Platform reaches any market or exchange.
5.2 Platform specifications
The specifications of the Platform — its configuration and the rules that apply to its use — are published and made available to you before purchase, and may be updated by Wield from time to time. You purchase against the specifications in effect at the time of purchase.
6. Payment
6.1 Fee amounts
The Access Fee depends on the Platform Access option you select. Current fees are disclosed before purchase. Fees may be revised by Wield from time to time; you pay the fee in effect at the time of purchase.
6.2 Currency
Access Fees are quoted in INR for clarity to Indian users. The Access Fee is paid in USDT on the Tron network (TRC-20) at the USDT-equivalent of the quoted INR amount, calculated at the exchange rate displayed at checkout. The USDT amount displayed at checkout is the amount you pay; the INR figure is a reference quote.
6.3 Payment processor
Access Fees are processed by NOWPayments. By submitting payment, you accept NOWPayments' terms of service in addition to these Terms. NOWPayments is responsible for the security of the payment transaction per its own published practices.
6.4 Payment record
NOWPayments provides confirmation of each successful payment. The payment is also recorded as a USDT transfer on the Tron blockchain (TRC-20), publicly verifiable by transaction hash. If you do not recognise a payment associated with your account, contact Wield at grievance@wieldhq.com. Wield commits to investigating within 7 calendar days.
6.5 Disputes and payment fraud
USDT transfers on the Tron blockchain are operationally irreversible — there is no card-issuer chargeback mechanism. Refunds are handled by Wield under the Refund Policy. If you believe you are owed a refund or that a payment was made in error, contact Wield at grievance@wieldhq.com. Wield commits to investigating and responding within 7 calendar days.
Genuine payment fraud — for example, payment from a wallet you do not control, or systematic refund requests for Platform Access that was correctly delivered and used, as part of a scheme to obtain the Service without paying — is a breach of these Terms.
6.6 Multiple Platform Access purchases
If you purchase two or more units of Platform Access in a single transaction, a multiple-purchase discount may apply, as disclosed at the point of purchase. The always-available refund circumstances in the Refund Policy apply separately to each unit of Platform Access purchased. The one-time first-purchase money-back guarantee applies once per customer, regardless of the number of units purchased, and is not multiplied by purchasing more than one unit.
7. Acceptable use
7.1 The Acceptable Use Policy applies
Your use of the Service is subject to the Acceptable Use Policy, available at wieldhq.com/aup. The Acceptable Use Policy sets out prohibited conduct, including (without limitation) account sharing, use of unauthorised automation, multi-account abuse, payment fraud, and other practices that undermine the integrity of the Service.
7.2 Consequences of breach
Breach of the Acceptable Use Policy may result in suspension or termination of your access to the Service and forfeiture of any active Platform Access. Wield's specific rights and remedies are set out in Section 11.
8. Privacy and personal data
8.1 The Privacy Policy applies
Wield processes your personal data as described in the Privacy Policy, available at wieldhq.com/privacy. The Privacy Policy describes what personal data Wield collects, how Wield uses it, who Wield shares it with (including Xflow, NOWPayments, and other named sub-processors), how long Wield retains it, your rights, and how to exercise them.
8.2 Wield as Data Fiduciary and Data Controller
Wield is a Data Fiduciary under the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and a Data Controller under the EU General Data Protection Regulation. The Privacy Policy explains how the two frameworks apply.
8.3 Data protection contact
For data protection inquiries or requests to exercise your rights, contact dpo@wieldhq.com.
9. Refunds
9.1 The Refund Policy applies
Refund eligibility is governed by the Refund Policy, available at wieldhq.com/refunds. In summary, and subject to the full terms of that document:
- Wield offers a one-time, 7-day money-back guarantee on your first purchase of Platform Access: if you request a refund within 7 days of that first purchase, your Access Fee is refunded in full
- Refunds are always available where there has been a technical failure of the Service that prevents your use of the Platform, where charges have been incurred in error, or where Wield has terminated your access for reasons not attributable to your breach of these Terms
9.2 Refund mechanics
Refunds are processed as USDT-TRC20 transfers to the wallet that made the original payment. On-chain settlement typically completes within minutes once initiated. The refund amount is the USDT amount you paid; movements in the INR/USDT exchange rate between purchase and refund are not adjusted by Wield.
10. Intellectual property
10.1 Wield's intellectual property
The Platform, including all software, design, content, trademarks, and branding, is owned by Wield or its licensors. Wield grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Platform solely for the purpose of accessing the Service in accordance with these Terms.
10.2 Your market views and methods
The market views, methods, and analytical approaches you develop are your own. Wield claims no ownership over them. For the duration of your use of the Service and for the retention periods set out in the Privacy Policy, Wield retains and analyses the activity and market-view data generated within the Platform for the purposes of operating the Service, ensuring its integrity, and improving the Platform.
10.3 Restrictions
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse-engineer, or attempt to extract the source code of the Platform, except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law. You may not use Wield's trademarks, branding, or content without Wield's prior written consent.
10.4 Feedback
If you provide feedback or suggestions about the Service, Wield may use that feedback freely, without restriction or obligation to compensate you.
11. Suspension and termination
11.1 Termination by you
You may stop using the Service at any time. If you have purchased Platform Access, the Refund Policy determines whether and to what extent you are entitled to a refund.
11.2 Suspension or termination by Wield
Wield may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service where:
- You have materially breached these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or the Privacy Policy

- You have engaged in conduct that endangers the security or integrity of the Service

- You have become subject to sanctions or are otherwise no longer eligible under Section 3.1
- Wield is required to suspend or terminate by applicable law, court order, or regulatory direction
- Wield discontinues the Service or any material feature of it
Wield will provide reasonable advance notice of suspension or termination, except where immediate action is required to protect the Service or other Users from harm, to comply with applicable law, or to prevent fraud.
11.3 Effect of termination
On termination:
- Your right to access the Service ends immediately
- Any active Platform Access is forfeited, except where the termination is the fault of Wield, in which case the Refund Policy applies
- The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6.5, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, and 19 — survive termination
- Wield retains your personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable law
11.4 Suspension pending investigation
Wield may suspend your access pending investigation of a suspected breach. During suspension, your access to the Service is paused; restoration follows resolution of the investigation. If the investigation concludes in your favour, suspension does not affect your contractual entitlements.
12. Disclaimers and warranties

This indemnity does not apply to claims arising from your modification of the Service or your combination of the Service with materials not provided by Wield.
14.3 Indemnity procedure
The party seeking indemnification will notify the indemnifying party promptly in writing of any claim. The indemnifying party may assume control of the defence and settlement, provided that no settlement materially affecting the rights of the other party is made without that other party's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).
15. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms (other than payment obligations) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation: acts of god, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, government action, regulatory order, court order, change in applicable law, failure of telecommunications networks or internet infrastructure, failure of third-party payment partners or banking infrastructure, and failure of public market price data feeds on which the Service depends. The affected party will notify the other promptly and use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance.
16. Changes to these Terms
16.1 Wield may amend these Terms
Wield may amend these Terms from time to time. Amendments take effect as follows:
- Non-material amendments: Take effect 14 calendar days after Wield posts the amended version at wieldhq.com/terms and notifies Users by bot message or email
- Material amendments: Take effect 30 calendar days after notification, with the prior version remaining accessible during that period; your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance

16.2 What constitutes a material amendment
A material amendment is one that, applied to your existing rights and obligations, would meaningfully change Platform Access, the fees, your data rights, the limitation of liability, or the dispute resolution mechanism.
16.3 If you do not accept an amendment

The choice of Lithuanian law and Vilnius courts in this Section 17 is intended to provide a clear default forum for matters not subject to mandatory Indian consumer protection jurisdiction. It is not intended to deprive you of Indian-law remedies for matters within Indian-law jurisdiction.
