⚖️ Terms of Service — Nexus Protocol (Prototype)

Orthonode Infrastructure Labs™ Lab | Version 1.4.0

By deploying or interacting with a Nexus Sovereign Node, you acknowledge the decentralized, local-first, and autonomous nature of the protocol.

🛠️ 1. Node Operator Sovereignty

Nexus is a sovereign infrastructure suite. The Node Operator is exclusively responsible for:

  • Hardware & Security: The physical and digital hardening of the hosting environment.
  • Vault Integrity: The maintenance, encryption, and backup of the local persistence layer (nexus_vault.db).
  • Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to all applicable local data, privacy (GDPR/CCPA), and financial regulations.

Nexus Protocol (Prototype) is not a hosted service, a financial product, or a custodial system. It is a self-hosted execution engine operated entirely at the discretion and responsibility of the Node Operator. Use of Nexus Protocol (Prototype) does not imply endorsement by Orthonode Infrastructure Labs™ of any specific application, business model, or deployment.

💰 2. Economic Axioms

The 60/30/10 split is a deterministic, integer-based accounting rule.

  • Local Ledger: All transactions are recorded on a local-first ledger of truth.
  • Soft Finality: Phase 1.4.0 provides "Local Soft Finality." Any future anchoring to external networks (e.g., peaq, IoTeX) is subject to the separate terms and consensus rules of those respective layers.

🛡️ 3. "Fail-Closed" Operational Logic

The protocol utilizes a Fail-Closed security model to preserve data integrity.

  • Execution Cease: In the event of identity resolution failure or Sentry Bridge interruption, the protocol will immediately cease execution to protect the Sovereign Vault.
  • Routing Hygiene: Use of the protocol requires the operator to maintain ingress-specific routing configuration (including required headers) to ensure deterministic routing and tunnel stability.

🚫 4. No Liability & "As-Is" Warranty

Nexus Protocol (Prototype) is provided "as-is" without warranty of any kind. Orthonode Infrastructure Labs™ and its contributors are not liable for:

  • Any financial loss or accounting discrepancy resulting from ledger state.
  • Data corruption arising from hardware failure, power loss, or improper node termination.
  • Indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use of this infrastructure.

Sovereign tools for a deterministic world.
