Effective Date: March 15, 2026
Notice — This document is a working template pending final review by qualified legal counsel. It does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as a final governing agreement until formally approved and published. Please contact legal@thecontinuum.market with any questions.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Continuum platform (the “Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and Continuum (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to the Platform with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Platform following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify registered users of material changes via email.
You represent that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. If you are accessing the Platform on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
2. Platform Description
Continuum is a compliance verification and data intelligence platform accessible at thecontinuum.market. The Platform provides tools for verifying technology companies across blockchain, AI, quantum computing, and tokenized assets, enabling institutional-grade trust assessments, compliance scoring, and deal flow intelligence.
Platform features include, but are not limited to: compliance scoring and audit reports, verified company profiles, data intelligence dashboards, AI-assisted research tools, deal flow and investor matching, and membership-gated capabilities as described in Section 3 below.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or aspect of the Platform at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.
3. Membership Tiers and Credits
The Platform offers several membership tiers, each with cumulative access and capabilities. Credits are the unit of account for Platform services. One (1) credit is equal to ten United States dollars (USD $10.00).
| Tier | Access Level |

| Published | Verified company listing and basic compliance profile. |
| Growth | Enhanced scoring, deal flow access, and expanded data tools. |
| Discovery | Full intelligence suite, investor-facing reporting, and advanced analytics. |
| Enterprise | Custom integrations, API access, white-label options, and dedicated support. |

Membership tiers are cumulative — higher tiers include all features of lower tiers. Credit balances, tier eligibility, and feature access are subject to change at our discretion with reasonable notice provided to affected users.
4. Data Ownership and Custodianship
You retain full ownership of all data, content, and information you submit to or create on the Platform (“User Data”). Continuum acts solely as a custodian of your User Data — not as an owner. We do not claim any proprietary rights in your User Data.
By submitting User Data to the Platform, you grant Continuum a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to store, process, display, and transmit your User Data solely as necessary to provide the services described in these Terms. This license terminates when your User Data is deleted from our systems.
You are responsible for ensuring that any User Data you submit does not violate applicable law or the rights of any third party. Continuum reserves the right to remove User Data that violates these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of others.
5. AI Services Disclaimer
The Platform includes AI-powered features including, without limitation, a compliance chatbot, automated compliance scoring, trust assessments, and agentic research tools (collectively, “AI Services”).
All outputs generated by AI Services are provided for informational and research purposes only. They do not constitute legal advice, financial advice, investment recommendations, regulatory guidance, or any other form of professional advice.
AI-generated compliance scores, assessments, and reports reflect data available at the time of generation and may not be current, complete, or accurate. You should not rely solely on AI Service outputs for any business, investment, legal, or regulatory decision. Always consult qualified professionals before taking action based on Platform outputs.
Continuum makes no warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of AI Service outputs.
6. Payment Terms
All payments on the Platform are processed by Stripe, Inc. By making a purchase, you agree to Stripe's terms of service and privacy policy in addition to these Terms. Continuum does not store your full payment card details.
All fees are stated in United States dollars (USD) and are non-refundable except as expressly stated herein or required by applicable law. Once an audit or compliance assessment has commenced, no refund will be issued for fees associated with that audit, regardless of outcome or completion status.
Credits purchased on the Platform are non-transferable, have no cash value, and may not be exchanged, sold, or assigned to any other user or account. Unused credits may expire in accordance with the terms in effect at the time of purchase. We reserve the right to modify credit pricing and expiration policies with reasonable advance notice.
Subscription fees, if applicable, are billed on a recurring basis. You may cancel your subscription at any time; cancellation will take effect at the end of the then-current billing period.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
The Platform and all services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
In no event shall Continuum, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, licensors, or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, business interruption, or the cost of substitute services, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Platform, regardless of the cause of action or the theory of liability, even if Continuum has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In no event shall Continuum's total cumulative liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Platform exceed the greater of (a) the total amount paid by you to Continuum in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD $100.00).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liability. In such jurisdictions, Continuum's liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
8. Termination
Either party may terminate the User's account and access to the Platform at any time. You may terminate by ceasing use of the Platform and, where applicable, submitting a written termination request to legal@thecontinuum.market. We may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any breach of these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion.
Upon termination, your right to use the Platform will immediately cease. For a period of thirty (30) days following termination, you may request an export of your User Data. After this period, Continuum is under no obligation to retain your User Data and may delete it in accordance with our data retention policies.
Sections 4, 5, 7, 9, and 10 of these Terms shall survive termination.
9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties. If not resolved within thirty (30) days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, conducted in Miami, Florida, USA. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.
