Terms & Conditions

By accessing and using SpotLab, you acknowledge and agree to engage with a cryptographic custodial service built on zero-knowledge technology, where all operations are verified through zk-SNARK proofs and all balances exist as encrypted commitments within SpotLab’s custody vaults. You certify that you are of legal age, not subject to sanctions, and possess the legal capacity to use our Services. SpotLab acts as a privacy-first custodial engine, not a financial advisor, portfolio manager, or investment service; your use of the platform reflects your understanding of the risks associated with digital assets, cryptography, and blockchain networks.

​

When interacting with SpotLab, you accept full responsibility for safeguarding your private cryptographic keys including your proving keys, nullifier keys, and viewing keys as their loss may permanently restrict your ability to access your assets. You understand that SpotLab cannot recover lost keys, reverse transactions, or intervene in zk-authorized actions once they have been validated. All interactions inside SpotLab occur through zero-knowledge proofs, which ensure correctness without revealing your identity, balance, or transaction history; invalid proofs will be automatically rejected. While SpotLab upholds strict privacy, it also aligns with legal and regulatory expectations and may restrict access if illegal or harmful behavior is detected. You agree not to use the platform for unlawful activities such as fraud, money laundering, terrorism financing, or sanctions evasion, and accept that SpotLab may be required to supply zk-based compliance proofs that do not expose user-level data.

​

SpotLab may charge fees for custody, settlement, and proof verification, and these fees are automatically applied, non-refundable, and subject to change based on operational needs. You acknowledge that using SpotLab involves inherent risks: blockchain instability, cryptographic uncertainty, market volatility, smart contract vulnerabilities, and the operational risks inherent to custodial systems. You agree that SpotLab is provided “as is,” without warranties or guarantees, and that SpotLab, its developers, and affiliates are not liable for any direct or indirect damages arising from your use of the platform. You further agree to indemnify SpotLab against any claims resulting from your misuse of the Services or violations of these Terms.

​

SpotLab reserves the right to suspend or terminate access for legal, operational, or security reasons, though users who can produce valid zk-proofs will retain the ability to withdraw available assets. All intellectual property including protocol designs, software, circuits, documentation, and branding remains the exclusive property of SpotLab unless explicitly released as open source. These Terms may be updated periodically, and continued use of the platform indicates your acceptance of any modifications.

​

By engaging with SpotLab, you enter into a privacy-driven custodial relationship built entirely on cryptographic trust, acknowledging both the safeguards and responsibilities that accompany a zero-knowledge financial environment.
