Legal & Disclaimer

1. Who We Are

BitCtrl is an EU-based provider of non-custodial blockchain infrastructure, validator infrastructure, RPC services, monitoring tools, hosting, DevOps, and related technical consultancy services. If a separate legal entity is incorporated to operate BitCtrl, its legal name, registered office, registration details, and contact information will be published before that entity is used as a contracting party.

2. Non-Custodial Statement

BitCtrl provides non-custodial validator infrastructure and related technical services only. BitCtrl does not and will not take custody of user or client crypto-assets, private keys, seed phrases, withdrawal keys, wallet credentials, or any other credentials that control crypto-assets.

BitCtrl does not and will not sign user transfers, move user assets, pool user funds, operate a profit-sharing arrangement, recommend specific crypto-assets personally, or structure returns for users or clients. Users remain solely responsible for their wallets, keys, transactions, delegation choices, tax position, and compliance with applicable laws.

4. What BitCtrl Does Not Do

5. Staking Rewards And Risk

Any APY, APR, reward, commission, uptime, or performance information shown by BitCtrl is an estimate based on network conditions and may change at any time. Such information is not a promise, warranty, forecast, or guarantee of return.

Staking and delegation involve risks, including slashing, downtime penalties, missed rewards, validator failure, protocol bugs, software vulnerabilities, smart-contract failure, governance changes, forks, liquidity constraints, tax consequences, regulatory changes, and loss of value of the underlying crypto-asset.

6. Validator Keys Are Not Client Custody

To operate validator infrastructure, BitCtrl may hold or manage validator signing keys, node keys, infrastructure credentials, or other technical keys required to run validator nodes. Validator signing keys are used to participate in network consensus and do not give BitCtrl control over delegators' wallets, withdrawal keys, or crypto-assets.

7. No Investment Or Professional Advice

Nothing on this website or in BitCtrl materials constitutes an offer, solicitation, recommendation, or advice to buy, sell, hold, stake, unstake, delegate, or otherwise transact in any crypto-asset, financial instrument, or product. Information is provided for general technical, operational, and educational purposes only.

8. No Relationship Created By Website Use

Visiting this website, viewing content, using public tools, or interacting with public RPC endpoints does not create a contractual, fiduciary, advisory, agency, partnership, or client relationship with BitCtrl. Any commercial relationship requires a separate written agreement.

9. Third-Party Networks And Services

BitCtrl may link to, reference, or interact with third-party blockchains, wallets, explorers, protocols, software, APIs, and services. BitCtrl does not control and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, terms, performance, or failures. Use of third-party services is at your own risk.

10. Service Availability And Security

BitCtrl aims to operate reliable infrastructure, but no blockchain, validator, RPC endpoint, website, or technical service can be guaranteed to be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or available at all times. Unless expressly agreed in a separate written service agreement, BitCtrl does not provide any uptime, reward, security, recovery, or performance guarantee.

11. Regulatory Positioning

BitCtrl's services are designed as non-custodial technical infrastructure services. BitCtrl does not hold itself out as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on markets in crypto-assets and does not provide services that require such authorisation.

BitCtrl does not provide custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients, operate a trading platform, exchange crypto-assets, execute or transmit orders, place crypto-assets, provide portfolio management, provide personalised advice, or provide transfer services for crypto-assets on behalf of clients. Users construct, authorise, and sign their own transactions.

Because BitCtrl does not operate as a CASP or other obliged financial entity under this non-custodial model, BitCtrl does not hold itself out as subject to CASP-specific obligations under the EU Transfer of Funds Regulation or the EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulation. If BitCtrl changes its service model in a way that may fall within MiCA, AML/CFT, payment services, securities, investment funds, or other regulated financial services rules, BitCtrl will review and obtain any required authorisation before offering those services.

12. User Compliance

Users are responsible for complying with all laws applicable to their use of crypto-assets, staking, wallets, networks, and BitCtrl services, including tax, sanctions, anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, and reporting obligations. BitCtrl may refuse, suspend, or terminate access to services where required by law, network rules, security concerns, sanctions restrictions, abuse, or a separate written agreement.

13. Limitation Of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BitCtrl and its founders, affiliates, contractors, officers, employees, and agents disclaim liability for direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or economic losses arising from use of this website, crypto-assets, staking, validator services, RPC services, third-party services, or blockchain networks. Nothing in this notice excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

14. Changes And Contact

BitCtrl may update this notice from time to time for legal, operational, technical, or regulatory reasons. Questions about this notice can be sent to infobitctrl@gmail.com.
