Terms and Conditions

Effective date: 24 March 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of NodeRails products, including our hosted checkout, payment links, invoicing, subscriptions, payout tooling, APIs, SDKs, and dashboards.

1. Scope of Service

NodeRails provides software and infrastructure for crypto payment processing workflows. We provide technology, orchestration, and settlement tooling for merchants and developers.

2. Non-Custodial Model

NodeRails is a non-custodial platform. We do not custody user or customer funds, do not control private keys, and do not operate as a bank, wallet custodian, broker, or exchange for customer assets. Funds settle to addresses and accounts designated by you.

3. Compliance Model and Shared Responsibilities

NodeRails helps merchants with compliance operations through platform controls, risk tooling, workflow support, and reporting capabilities. However, legal responsibility for your business activities remains with you, including compliance with laws and regulations applicable to your products, customers, and jurisdictions.

  • NodeRails may provide controls that support KYC, AML, sanctions, and monitoring workflows.
  • You remain responsible for final compliance decisions and legally required disclosures.
  • Only use the service for lawful products and services.
  • Do not process payments that violate sanctions or prohibited-use rules.
  • Maintain accurate business and payout information.
  • Handle customer disputes and refunds in accordance with applicable law.

4. Prohibited Activities

You may not use NodeRails for:

  • Fraud, theft, money laundering, terrorist financing, or sanctions evasion.
  • Illegal goods/services, phishing, malware distribution, or deceptive practices.
  • Attempts to reverse engineer, exploit, or disrupt the platform.

5. Platform Fees

Platform fees are disclosed in your pricing plan and include blockchain network execution costs handled by NodeRails for supported payment flows. There are no separate network or gas charges billed to you beyond the platform fee disclosed in your plan, unless explicitly stated in a custom enterprise agreement.

6. Service Reliability and Product Improvements

NodeRails is designed for high availability and we continuously improve platform reliability, performance, and chain support. From time to time we may release feature, API, and integration updates to improve the product. When changes affect implementation behavior, we aim to communicate updates with reasonable notice.

7. Security and Account Use

You are responsible for securing API keys, credentials, wallet setup, and internal access controls. You must notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorized access.

8. Intellectual Property

NodeRails and related software, branding, and documentation are protected by intellectual property laws. You receive a limited, revocable right to use the service under these terms.

9. Disclaimers

The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, NodeRails disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NodeRails will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, reputation, or opportunity.

11. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access where required for legal, regulatory, security, abuse-prevention, or platform-integrity reasons.

12. Updates to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
