Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

By creating an account or using Connector ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The service

Connector is a marketplace platform that connects parties ("Nodes") to exchange resources, services, and value. We are not a party to any trade — we provide the infrastructure that enables them.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity on your account. You must provide accurate information during registration and verification.

4. Trades and escrow

Funds in escrow are held by our payment partners and released according to the milestone structure of each trade. Connector does not custody funds directly.

5. Fees

Subscription fees are billed monthly in advance. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law.

6. Disputes

Trade disputes are resolved through the platform's dispute-resolution workflow. Where parties cannot reach agreement, Connector may act as a mediator at its discretion.

7. Termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. You may close your account at any time; outstanding trades and obligations survive termination.

8. Limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is." To the maximum extent permitted by law, Connector is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Service.

9. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email and via the platform with reasonable notice.

This is a placeholder Terms of Service for an early-stage product. Replace it before commercial launch with counsel-reviewed text — see docs/runbooks/legal-pages.md.
