Terms of Service

Harpy (“harpy : Sentinel Trade”, the “Software”, “we”, “us”) is a collection of desktop applications, scripts, configuration files, and accompanying documentation that runs locally on your computer and issues requests to third-party services (brokers, exchanges, data APIs, and the Claude Code CLI) using credentials you supply.

Harpy is an unfinished, experimental tool distributed to invited testers. It is not a broker, not a dealer, not a market maker, not an investment adviser, not a financial planner, not a betting operator, not a regulated financial institution of any kind, and nothing you see in the software should be treated as the output of one.

By downloading, installing, launching, or otherwise interacting with the Software, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not install it and do not use it.

You are the sole operator. You are solely responsible for every order, credential, configuration, scheduled task, prompt, data source, and resulting trade or wager issued from your own machine. Harpy does not trade for you, does not sit between you and any broker or exchange, and does not custody any asset or balance of any kind at any point.

If Harpy places an order, it did so because you installed it, you authenticated it, and you left it configured in a way that allowed it to do so. The consequences of that order are yours. That includes financial loss, tax events, margin calls, forced liquidations, rejected settlements, misrouted funds, regulatory enquiry, and reputational harm.

You are responsible for ensuring your use of the Software complies with every law, regulation, contract, and platform term of service applicable to you — including but not limited to securities law, derivatives regulation, anti-money-laundering rules, tax-reporting obligations, sanctions regimes, data-protection statutes, gambling law, and the specific terms of service of every broker, exchange, and data provider you configure the Software to communicate with.

The Software is provided “as is” and “as available”, with no warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, reliability, availability, security, freedom from malware, freedom from errors, and correspondence to any description or sample.

Scanners may emit incorrect signals. Paper fills may diverge from real fills. Live trades may be rejected, mispriced, filled at unexpected venues, routed through unexpected counterparties, partially filled, or lost altogether. The Software may execute the wrong order, fail to execute at all, double-execute, hang mid-cycle, truncate an input, misread a response, or present stale data to you as current. Regard every output as your own draft — not advice, not a recommendation, not a prediction.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator of harpy : Sentinel Trade, its authors, contractors, contributors, agents, affiliates, and successors (collectively, the “Harpy Parties”) shall not be liable to you for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, special, or statutory damages of any kind arising out of or in connection with the Software — including without limitation loss of capital, loss of anticipated profit, loss of trading opportunity, loss of data, loss of goodwill, loss of business, loss of reputation, tax penalty, regulatory action, clawback, rescission, disciplinary proceeding, civil liability, or any other loss or harm — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statutory duty, or otherwise, even if the Harpy Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if a limited remedy is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

If a court of competent jurisdiction declines to honour the disclaimer above, the Harpy Parties’ total aggregate liability to you under these Terms is capped at the lower of (a) the amount you paid us for a Harpy license during the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (US $100). Where you paid nothing, the cap is zero.

Nothing in Harpy — not the dashboard, not the scanner output, not the skill documents, not the operator journal, not any target, thesis, stake sizing, confidence label, or risk note produced by the Software; not any blog post, newsletter, invitation letter, onboarding email, support reply, or other communication from us — constitutes investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, gambling advice, or any other form of professional recommendation or fiduciary opinion.

You should consult licensed professionals before acting on anything you see in Harpy. Past performance of any strategy, model, or scanner output is not indicative of future results.

Harpy invokes third-party APIs and services — brokers, exchanges, on-chain protocols, data providers, Anthropic / Claude Code, oddsmakers, tote operators, scraping targets, and others — on your behalf using credentials you supply. Your relationship with those services is governed by their terms, privacy policies, pricing, and availability, not ours. We are not party to any agreement between you and any third-party service, and we are not responsible for their availability, correctness, fees, rate limits, uptime, settlement, dispute resolution, or conduct.

If a third-party service changes its terms, pricing, rate limits, geo- restrictions, authentication requirements, data format, uptime, or access eligibility, your ability to use one or more Harpy modules may degrade, change, or stop without notice. We do not guarantee continued compatibility with any third-party service and will not refund, credit, or discount your license fee on account of a third-party change.

A Harpy installer is distributed under a thirty-one (31) day machine-bound lease that begins at first launch. The lease is non-transferable and does not convey ownership of the Software, its source code, its configuration, or its accompanying documentation. The Software remains the property of the Harpy Parties.

We may decline to renew a lease for any reason or no reason. We may revoke a lease for breach of these Terms, for suspected credential abuse, for use of the Software in a prohibited manner (section 8 below), for reverse-engineering of the installer or its lease file, or at our sole discretion. Revocation is effective immediately and may occur without notice.

You may not:

• Redistribute, sell, sublicense, rent, lend, or otherwise transfer the Software.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive the source of any binary that we have not published in source form.
• Bypass, tamper with, or otherwise defeat the lease check, the license file signature, the module gate, or any other access-control feature of the Software.
• Share credentials (your API keys, wallet private keys, broker passwords, subscription session tokens) with any third party through the Software.
• Use the Software to issue high-frequency traffic, denial-of-service patterns, scraping at volumes or cadences that violate a target’s terms, or any kind of harassment against an exchange, venue, or data provider.
• Use the Software to launder funds, evade sanctions, access markets for which you are not legally permitted, or commit securities fraud, market manipulation, wash trading, spoofing, or any other illegal activity.
• Use the Software in connection with the trading of securities, futures, swaps, virtual currencies, event contracts, or pari-mutuel wagers in any jurisdiction in which you are not of legal age to do so, not legally eligible, or otherwise prohibited.
• Represent yourself to any third party as being associated with the Harpy Parties without our prior written consent.

The Software is offered from and intended for use in jurisdictions where the activities it supports are legally permitted. The operator of the Software (you) is solely responsible for determining whether your use, your data sources, your trading venues, and your scheduled tasks comply with the laws of every jurisdiction in which you are located or do business.

Nothing in these Terms should be read as an offer to, or solicitation of, any person in any jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation would be unlawful. Use the Software at your own legal peril.

All copyright, trademark, trade-secret, and other intellectual-property rights in the Software, its branding (including the word mark “harpy” and the phrase “Sentinel Trade”), its documentation, its skill documents, and any output we publish publicly (e.g. blog posts, release notes) are owned by us or our licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of those rights to you. Your lease grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to run the Software on a single machine for your own use.

Output that the Software generates on your machine from your own inputs and credentials (e.g. your trading journal, your targets JSON, your operator journal notes) belongs to you. We make no claim to it.

We may modify, update, add, remove, or deprecate features of the Software at any time. We may end-of-life an entire module, rewrite its skill document, change its default cadence, adjust its tier-pricing mix, or retire it entirely. We will not refund a partially-elapsed lease on account of such a change.

Critical security updates may be installed automatically on next launch. Feature updates are not automatic; you obtain them by receiving and running a new installer.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Harpy Parties from and against any third-party claim, demand, action, investigation, liability, loss, damage, fine, penalty, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Software; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law, regulation, or third-party right; or (d) your breach of any third-party contract (including terms of service of brokers, exchanges, data providers, or subscription services) through or in connection with your use of the Software.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the primary operator of the Software is registered at the time of the dispute, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction for any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms.

Nothing in this section affects any non-waivable statutory right you have under the consumer-protection laws of your home jurisdiction, if any.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

We are not liable for any delay, interruption, or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms where such delay, interruption, or failure is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, sanctions, labour disputes, power failure, telecommunications failure, internet failure, denial-of- service attack, third-party service outage, government action, change of law, pandemic, or any other event of force majeure.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms we communicate to you in writing when granting a lease, constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Software. They supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, or representations, whether written or oral.

We may update these Terms. The “last revised” date at the top of this page is authoritative. Material changes will be flagged in plain English. Continued use of the Software after a revision takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Questions, bug reports, or notices under these Terms can be sent to the address shared with you at invitation. We read email. We do not promise a reply. If you require a formal acknowledgment of receipt, mark the subject line with the word ACKNOWLEDGE.
