Terms of Service

Blue Nodes is a software-as-a-service platform for portfolio optimisation, margin analysis and what-if simulations on derivatives portfolios in energy and commodity markets. It supports institutional participants in their analytics, risk and capital-efficiency workflows.

Accounts are created by Blue Nodes on request. There is no self-service sign-up. You must:

• Provide accurate information when requesting an account
• Keep your password confidential and not share account access with others
• Notify us promptly at contact@bluenodes.io of any unauthorised access to your account

You are responsible for activity carried out under your account.

Blue Nodes may offer the Service under different access tiers, including free demonstration accounts populated with synthetic data and paid commercial accounts populated with the customer’s own portfolio data. The applicable tier is communicated when the account is created.

• Use the Service in violation of any applicable law
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service except as permitted by mandatory law
• Resell, sublicense, or make the Service available to third parties outside your organisation
• Use the Service to process data you do not have the right to process
• Scrape, harvest, or extract data in bulk by automated means
• Overload, disrupt, or attempt to compromise the security or integrity of the Service
• Use the Service to develop a competing product

We may suspend or terminate access to any account that violates these restrictions.

For paying customers: you retain all rights to data you upload or ingest through the Service (“Customer Data”). You grant us a limited licence to process Customer Data solely as required to provide the Service to you. We do not use Customer Data to train machine learning models, share it with third parties, or use it for any purpose other than providing the Service. Our processing of any personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy.

The Service, including its software, design, documentation and trademarks, is and remains the property of Blue Nodes and its licensors. No rights are granted to you except the limited right to use the Service as described in these Terms.

Each party will protect the other’s confidential information with the same care it uses to protect its own, and will not disclose it to third parties except as required to provide or use the Service, or as required by law.

Blue Nodes Ltd is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and does not provide regulated financial services.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, uninterrupted operation, or freedom from error or defect.

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• Neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or business opportunity
• Blue Nodes’ total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the fees you paid to Blue Nodes in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. For free demonstration accounts where no fees have been paid, our total aggregate liability is limited to one hundred pounds sterling (£100)

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

These Terms apply for as long as you use the Service. Either party may terminate the agreement at any time by written notice:

• For free demonstration accounts, with immediate effect
• For paying customer accounts, with thirty (30) days’ written notice

Blue Nodes may suspend or terminate any account immediately for breach of these Terms or for activity that threatens the security or integrity of the Service. On termination, your access will end and your data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent change. For material changes we will notify account holders by email at least 14 days in advance. Continued use of the Service after notification constitutes acceptance.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
