1. Parties and Definitions
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a binding agreement between:
- Volta90 LLC, a Limited Liability Company organized under the laws of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines ("Volta90", "we", "us", "our"), and
- the individual or entity accessing or using the Volta90 protocol ("Participant", "you", "your").
"Protocol" refers to the Volta90 on-chain strategy accessible via smart contracts deployed on the Arbitrum network, utilizing the Lagoon v0 / ERC-4626 infrastructure.
"VLT90" refers to the tokenized membership interest issued to Participants upon deposit, representing a pro-rata claim on the Protocol's underlying assets.
"Underlying Asset" refers to USDC (USD Coin), the sole denomination of deposits and withdrawals.
"Strategy" refers to the directional long/short perpetual trading strategy executed on Hyperliquid, covering BTC, ETH, and select altcoin pairs, at the sole discretion of Volta90's managers.
"Settlement Cycle" refers to the weekly processing window during which deposits and withdrawals are settled asynchronously.
"Whitelist" refers to the on-chain access control mechanism restricting Protocol participation to approved wallet addresses.
"Signature" refers to the cryptographic signature (EIP-712 or personal_sign) by which you confirm acceptance of these Terms, recorded on-chain and stored by Volta90.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By signing a message referencing these Terms with your Ethereum-compatible wallet, you acknowledge that:
- You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety.
- Your cryptographic Signature constitutes valid, binding consent equivalent to a handwritten signature under applicable electronic signature laws.
- Volta90 will store a record of your Signature, the signing wallet address, the timestamp, and the document hash to which you consented.
- You will not be permitted to deposit into the Protocol without first providing a valid Signature.
- These Terms may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the Volta90 documentation site. Continued participation after notice of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Volta90 may, at its discretion, require a new Signature for material amendments.
3. Eligibility and Access Restrictions
3.1 Invite-Only Access
The Protocol operates on an invitation-only basis. Access is granted solely at the discretion of Volta90's managers. Whitelisting of a wallet address does not create any obligation on the part of Volta90 to maintain such access.
3.2 Restricted Persons
You represent and warrant that you are NOT:
a. A citizen, resident, or tax resident of the United States of America, its territories, or possessions ("US Person"), as broadly defined under Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.
b. A person or entity located in, incorporated in, or operating from any country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the European Union, the United Nations Security Council, or His Majesty's Treasury (United Kingdom). This includes, without limitation, the following jurisdictions as of the effective date: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, and any other jurisdiction subject to comprehensive embargo.
c. A person or entity listed on, or owned or controlled by a person listed on, any applicable sanctions list, including the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List, or equivalent.
d. A person acting on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any Restricted Person described above.
3.3 No KYC — Participant Responsibility
Volta90 does not perform Know Your Customer (KYC) or identity verification procedures. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your participation in the Protocol complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and restrictions in your jurisdiction of residence, citizenship, and tax residency. Your Whitelist approval and Signature do not constitute a determination by Volta90 that your participation is lawful.
3.4 Removal from Whitelist
Volta90 reserves the right to remove any wallet address from the Whitelist at any time, for any reason or no reason, without prior notice. Upon removal, outstanding withdrawal requests will be processed during the next Settlement Cycle, subject to available liquidity.
4. Protocol Mechanics
4.1 Deposits
Deposits are denominated exclusively in USDC on the Arbitrum network. After providing a valid Signature and being Whitelisted, you must approve the Protocol's smart contract to transfer USDC from your wallet, then initiate a deposit transaction. Deposits are processed asynchronously and settled during the next Settlement Cycle.
4.2 VLT90 Tokens
Upon settlement of your deposit, you will receive VLT90 tokens representing your pro-rata share of the Protocol's net asset value ("NAV"). VLT90 tokens are non-transferable membership interests and must not be sold, assigned, pledged, or otherwise transferred to any third party.
4.3 Withdrawals
Withdrawal requests are submitted on-chain and processed asynchronously during the next Settlement Cycle. Volta90 does not guarantee immediate liquidity. Settlement timing depends on the unwinding of active trading positions, available USDC reserves, and operational constraints. Volta90 will use commercially reasonable efforts to process withdrawals promptly but makes no commitment to specific timelines beyond the weekly cycle.
4.4 NAV Calculation
The NAV is updated periodically and reflects the estimated market value of the Protocol's underlying positions. NAV calculations are provided for informational purposes and may not reflect real-time market conditions. The NAV at the time of settlement determines the USDC value of deposits and withdrawals.
5. Fee Structure
5.1 Management Fee
Volta90 charges an annual management fee of 2% of assets under management, accrued continuously and deducted from the Protocol's NAV.
5.2 Performance Fee
Volta90 charges a performance fee of 20% on net new profits, calculated on a high-water mark basis. The performance fee is assessed at each Settlement Cycle and deducted from the Protocol's NAV before settlement of deposits and withdrawals.
5.3 No Hidden Fees
There are no entry fees, exit fees, or redemption penalties. On-chain gas costs for transactions on the Arbitrum network are borne by the Participant.
5.4 Fee Modifications
Volta90 reserves the right to modify the fee structure with 30 days' prior notice communicated via the documentation site. Participants who do not accept revised fees may submit a withdrawal request before the new fee schedule takes effect.
6. Risk Disclosure
Participation in the Protocol involves substantial risk of loss, up to and including the total loss of your deposited capital. You acknowledge and accept the following risks:
6.1 Trading Risk
The Strategy involves leveraged directional trading of perpetual contracts. Leveraged positions can result in losses exceeding the initial margin, rapid drawdowns, and liquidation of positions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
6.2 Smart Contract Risk
The Protocol relies on smart contracts deployed on the Arbitrum network and interacts with third-party protocols (Lagoon, Hyperliquid). Smart contracts may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or exploits that could result in partial or total loss of deposited funds. Volta90's smart contracts have not been formally audited.
6.3 Counterparty Risk
The Strategy executes trades on Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual exchange. You are exposed to Hyperliquid's operational, technical, and solvency risks. Volta90 does not control and is not responsible for Hyperliquid's infrastructure, uptime, or security.
6.4 Liquidity Risk
Withdrawal processing depends on the ability to unwind positions and the availability of USDC in the Protocol. In adverse market conditions, withdrawals may be delayed beyond the standard Settlement Cycle.
6.5 Regulatory Risk
The legal and regulatory status of decentralized finance protocols, digital assets, and perpetual trading instruments varies by jurisdiction and is subject to change. Regulatory action in any relevant jurisdiction could impair the Protocol's operations or your ability to participate.
6.6 Stablecoin Risk
USDC is issued by Circle Internet Financial, LLC. USDC's value depends on Circle's reserves, solvency, and regulatory compliance. A de-peg event or issuer failure could affect the value of your deposits and withdrawals.
6.7 Bridge and Network Risk
Interaction with the Arbitrum network involves reliance on Layer 2 infrastructure, sequencers, and bridging mechanisms. Network congestion, outages, or bridge exploits could affect access to funds or transaction finality.
6.8 Manager Discretion Risk
All trading decisions are made at the sole discretion of Volta90's managers. There are no algorithmic constraints, position limits, or automated risk management guarantees. The Strategy may be modified at any time without notice.
7. No Investment Advice — No Regulated Activity
7.1 Not a Regulated Product
Volta90 is not registered as an investment fund, collective investment scheme, or asset manager in any jurisdiction. VLT90 tokens are not securities, fund shares, or units of any regulated financial product.
7.2 No Advisory Relationship
Nothing in these Terms, on the Volta90 documentation site, or in any communication from Volta90's team constitutes investment advice, financial advice, tax advice, or legal advice. You should consult your own professional advisors before participating.
7.3 No Fiduciary Duty
Volta90 and its managers owe no fiduciary duty to Participants. The relationship between Volta90 and Participants is governed exclusively by these Terms and the Protocol's smart contract logic.
8. Intellectual Property
All content, code, documentation, branding, and materials associated with Volta90 are the exclusive property of Volta90 LLC. Participants are granted no license, right, or interest in Volta90's intellectual property beyond the limited right to interact with the Protocol as described herein.
9. Limitation of Liability
9.1 No Warranty
The Protocol is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Volta90, its managers, members, agents, and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of digital assets, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Protocol, regardless of the theory of liability.
9.3 Maximum Liability
In no event shall Volta90's aggregate liability to you exceed the amount of USDC you deposited into the Protocol during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Volta90, its managers, members, agents, and service providers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:
a. Your breach of these Terms,
b. Your violation of any applicable law or regulation,
c. Your misrepresentation regarding eligibility or restricted status,
d. Any tax liability arising from your participation in the Protocol.
11. Privacy and Data
11.1 On-Chain Data
Your wallet address and transaction history on the Arbitrum network are publicly visible on the blockchain. Volta90 does not control and cannot restrict access to on-chain data.
11.2 Off-Chain Data
Volta90 stores the following off-chain data: your wallet address, Signature record (including timestamp and document hash), and Whitelist status. This data is stored securely and is not shared with third parties except as required by applicable law or to protect Volta90's legal interests.
11.3 No Personal Data Collection
Volta90 does not collect names, email addresses, IP addresses, or other personally identifiable information. Participants interact with the Protocol pseudonymously.
12. Term and Termination
12.1 Duration
These Terms remain in effect for as long as you hold VLT90 tokens or have a pending deposit or withdrawal request.
12.2 Voluntary Exit
You may exit the Protocol at any time by submitting a withdrawal request. Upon settlement and receipt of your USDC, your participation is terminated.
12.3 Protocol Shutdown
Volta90 reserves the right to wind down the Protocol at any time. In such event, Volta90 will use commercially reasonable efforts to close all positions, convert assets to USDC, and distribute pro-rata balances to Participants within a reasonable timeframe.

Sections 6 (Risk Disclosure), 7 (No Investment Advice), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), 11 (Privacy), and 13 (Governing Law) survive termination.
