Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 3 July 2026. These Terms govern access to Runtime Guard, including the Runtime DeFi Guard advisory service and paid co-signing modules when enabled.

1. Provider and definitions

The service is provided by RUNTIME GUARD, SASU, SIREN 106 846 777, with registered office at 1 rue Marguerin, 75014 Paris, France ("Runtime Guard", "the Company", "we", "us").

"Service" means the Runtime Guard software modules, including advisory transaction analysis, risk reports, browser extension workflows, and policy-based co-signing where purchased. "Customer" or "you" means the user, business, entity, or incorporated DAO accessing the Service. "Safe" means the Ethereum Safe account submitted to or configured with the Service. "Verdict" means a technical risk classification returned by the Service.

2. Service description

Runtime Guard runs deterministic checks, decoding, simulation where available, and policy analysis over a transaction that you submit from your own Safe. It returns a risk report and a Verdict. In paid Pro co-signing modules, Runtime Guard may add one non-decisive signature to transactions that pass the relevant policy.

The Service is software. It is not an exchange, broker, payment service, money transmission service, investment service, legal service, tax service, custody service, or personalized trading advisory service.

3. Non-custodial architecture

Runtime Guard does not hold, generate, store, or control any private key that is sufficient by itself to access customer assets. In the co-signing module, the Company holds one cloud KMS/HSM signing key as one signer among several signers configured by the customer.

This key is never sufficient by itself to initiate, authorize, or broadcast a transaction; is never necessary for the customer to transact using its other signers; and may be removed by the customer from its Safe without Runtime Guard's consent. Runtime Guard therefore does not constitute, by itself, a single point of failure for the customer's Safe.

4. Meaning and limits of a Verdict

A GREEN, AMBER, RED, or BLACK Verdict means only that defined checks were executed on defined data at a defined time. A GREEN Verdict does not mean that a transaction is safe, lawful, appropriate, profitable, or free from risk.

Runtime Guard reports are technical security and operational review materials. They are not investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, or a personalized recommendation. You retain final and exclusive authority to decide whether to sign, reject, or modify any transaction.

5. Nature of obligations

5.1 Defined result obligations

Runtime Guard undertakes, as defined result obligations only, to execute the checks documented for the then-current version of the Service on the data effectively submitted, and to return a Verdict reflecting the result of those checks at the time of execution.

5.2 Best-efforts obligations

The predictive accuracy and protective value of a Verdict are best-efforts obligations. Runtime Guard does not undertake to detect every malicious, fraudulent, defective, or harmful transaction.

5.3 Co-signing

Where co-signing is enabled, Runtime Guard acts on a reinforced best-efforts basis to apply its non-decisive signature when configured policy conditions are met and the relevant networks and providers are available. Runtime Guard's co-signature is never sufficient alone and is never necessary for the customer to transact without Runtime Guard.

6. Risk disclosure

Crypto-assets, smart contracts, DeFi protocols, blockchain networks, browser extensions, RPC providers, and signing devices involve technical and economic risks, including total loss. Runtime Guard is not insurance and does not compensate market losses, missed opportunities, price movement, third-party exploits, or losses outside its reasonable control.

7. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for:

Runtime Guard analyzes the data it receives. It is not responsible for an inaccurate analysis caused by incomplete, modified, outdated, false, or unavailable data, or by a transaction being changed after analysis.

8. Eligibility, sanctions, and acceptable use

You may not use the Service if you are subject to applicable sanctions, located in a prohibited jurisdiction, or legally prohibited from using the Service. You may not use the Service for fraud, sanctions evasion, money laundering, phishing, malware, spam, identity misuse, attacks on Runtime Guard systems, unauthorized scraping, or unauthorized resale.

You may not present a Runtime Guard Verdict as a guarantee, certification, regulatory approval, insurance coverage, or personalized advice.

9. Intellectual property and open source

Runtime Guard and its licensors own the proprietary components of the Service. Subject to these Terms, Runtime Guard grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service during the term of your subscription or free access.

The Service may include third-party and open-source components governed by their own licenses. Nothing in these Terms limits rights granted directly under an applicable open-source license.

10. Privacy and payment processing

Runtime Guard's data processing is described in the Privacy Policy. Paid subscriptions are processed by Paddle as merchant of record. Paddle may collect and process billing, payment, tax, receipt, refund, and chargeback information under its own buyer terms and privacy notices. Runtime Guard does not store full card numbers or payment method credentials.

11. Contract formation and authority

Access to paid features may require acceptance of these Terms through a clickwrap flow, wallet signature, checkout flow, order form, or similar affirmative action. If you act for an entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

12. Fees, billing, and renewals

Unless otherwise stated, paid plans are billed per Safe and per subscription period through Paddle. Prices, renewal periods, tax treatment, and checkout information are presented before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before renewal.

If payment fails, a payment method expires, a chargeback occurs, fraud risk is identified, or Paddle requests action, Runtime Guard may suspend or degrade paid features after notice where reasonably possible. Suspension of co-signing does not prevent you from transacting without Runtime Guard because Runtime Guard's key is never necessary.

13. Termination and suspension

You may stop using the Service and remove Runtime Guard's key from your Safe at any time. Runtime Guard may suspend or terminate access where necessary to prevent serious security risk, abuse, fraud, sanctions risk, non-payment, regulatory exposure, or damage to the Service.

14. Availability and force majeure

The Service, analysis engine, browser extension, RPC providers, simulation providers, cloud providers, payment providers, and co-signing systems may be unavailable. Runtime Guard is not liable for events beyond reasonable control, including blockchain congestion, forks, third-party service outages, third-party exploits, cloud failures, and force majeure events.

15. Liability for business customers

For business customers, Runtime Guard's essential obligations are limited to executing documented deterministic checks and returning the corresponding Verdict, and, where applicable, adding a non-decisive and non-necessary co-signature when configured conditions are met. Transaction safety, absence of third-party fraud, and preservation of assets are not essential obligations of Runtime Guard.

To the extent permitted by law, Runtime Guard is not liable for indirect, consequential, special, speculative, or market-related losses, including lost gains, missed opportunities, trading losses, or price movement. Any liability cap stated in an order form applies in addition to these Terms.

16. Consumer rights and withdrawal

Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected. Where EU consumer withdrawal rights apply, the customer may exercise them through the Paddle checkout or buyer support process. If service performance begins during the withdrawal period at the customer's request, the customer may be charged the legally permitted pro rata amount for service already supplied.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by French law. Mandatory consumer protections under applicable law remain unaffected. Business disputes are subject to the competent courts of Paris, France, unless an order form states otherwise or mandatory law requires another forum.
