1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using ArbiTrade (the “Platform”), operated at arbitrade.app, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. ArbiTrade is operated by Grant de Graf (“ArbiTrade”, “we”, “us”).
2. Nature of the service
ArbiTrade is an arbitrage intelligence, RFQ coordination, and counterparty discovery platform for physical commodities. ArbiTrade does not:
- Act as a broker, dealer, broker-dealer, marketplace operator, financial intermediary, exchange, alternative trading system, principal, or counterparty to any transaction.
- Execute, match, route, or settle trades on behalf of any party.
- Hold, custody, transmit, or guarantee funds, securities, commodities, or any other assets.
- Guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of pricing, signals, counterparty status, or any other data.
- Guarantee execution, delivery, quality, payment, profit, or commercial success of any transaction.
- Provide investment, legal, tax, customs, or sanctions advice.
All commercial transactions, contracts, payments, deliveries, inspections, and compliance obligations remain entirely between the user and the counterparties they identify through the Platform.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding contracts in your jurisdiction. You represent that your access to the Platform does not violate any applicable law, sanctions regime, or third-party agreement.
4. Account and security
You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms or pose a risk to the Platform or other users.
5. Subscription tiers and billing
ArbiTrade offers Free, Pro, and Enterprise tiers. Pro and Enterprise are paid subscriptions billed in USD on a month-to-month or annual basis at the rates published on our Pricing page. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled. Refunds are not provided for partial periods except where required by law.
6. RFQ usage limits
Pro tier is limited to 20 RFQ dispatches per calendar month. Enterprise tier is unlimited but subject to reasonable-use review. ArbiTrade reserves the right to throttle or suspend RFQ dispatch if usage indicates spam, scraping, or abusive behaviour toward listed counterparties.
7. Counterparty network and outreach
ArbiTrade maintains a curated counterparty database. Inclusion in the database does not imply endorsement, verification of solvency, or guarantee of conduct. Sanctions and verification status is shown as a guide only; you must conduct your own KYC, sanctions, anti-money-laundering, and counterparty due diligence before transacting.
You may not use the Platform to send unsolicited bulk communications, scrape contact data, or otherwise misuse the counterparty network. Such activity may result in immediate termination and removal of access to the counterparty database.
8. Data accuracy and disclaimers
All signals, prices, costs, margins, and counterparty data are provided as-is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Prices and spreads change rapidly; ArbiTrade is not liable for losses arising from stale data, computational error, or reliance on Platform output.
8a. Pricing Accuracy & Verification Responsibility
ArbiTrade computes price signals from a combination of public-exchange benchmark futures, FX rates from the same sources, and statically-refreshed basis differentials and freight cost models. While we work to ensure accuracy, we make no representation that any displayed price reflects the live market at any precise moment, and all prices are indicative and must be independently verified.
Physical commodity transactions clear over multi-day timelines and execution depends on counterparty terms, inspection, documentation, and other factors outside any pricing signal. Users acknowledge that all pricing displayed in the platform is indicative and must be independently verified before any transaction commitment is made.
ArbiTrade is not liable for losses or missed opportunities arising from reliance on displayed pricing.
9. Data Protection
ArbiTrade collects and processes personal information in accordance with the Privacy Policy. When a user uploads their own contact lists or third-party data to the Platform, the user acts as the data controller and ArbiTrade acts as the data processor. The user is responsible for:
- Ensuring a lawful basis exists for processing (under GDPR Article 6, CCPA, or equivalent).
- Obtaining necessary consents from data subjects before uploading their information.
- Complying with all applicable data protection laws, including GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA.
By uploading data to ArbiTrade, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights and permissions to do so and that the processing complies with all applicable law. ArbiTrade will process such data only as instructed by you and in accordance with Standard Contractual Clauses where required for international transfers.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, ArbiTrade's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform is limited to the lesser of (a) the fees you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) USD 1,000.
ArbiTrade is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunity, or loss of data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

You represent and warrant that neither you nor your counterparties are subject to sanctions administered by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United Nations, or any other applicable sanctions authority. Use of the Platform to facilitate any sanctioned transaction is strictly prohibited and constitutes immediate grounds for termination.
