Disclaimer
Effective as of: April 17, 2025
General Information Only
The information provided on the DeckNode website and through our services is for general informational purposes only. This Disclaimer outlines the limitations of our liability and responsibilities. By using our website or services, you acknowledge and agree to the terms described herein. Any attempt to replicate, redistribute, or reverse-engineer the structure, scoring logic, submission system, or routing mechanisms developed by DeckNode constitutes IP infringement.
Not a Broker, Advisor, or Regulated Financial Entity
DeckNode is not a registered broker-dealer, investment advisor, financial advisor, or exchange platform. We do not hold any financial regulatory licenses in Portugal, the EU, the United States, or any other jurisdiction.
Our name includes the word “Node” to reflect our position within the ecosystem—not a licensed financial entity.
DeckNode does not:
Execute trades or sales of securities or crypto-assets
Provide individualized investment advice or financial recommendations
Transmit orders or facilitate transactions
Custody funds, assets, or tokens for users
Any referral or success-based compensation received by DeckNode is strictly for our consulting and curation services—not transaction commissions.
Nothing on our site or in our communications constitutes an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument. DeckNode is not registered with the CMVM (Portugal), the SEC (U.S.), FINRA, or any crypto-asset regulatory body.
No Endorsement or Verification
DeckNode does not endorse, approve, or verify any project, investor, fund, or service provider we reference or introduce.
Any references to third parties (VCs, accelerators, launchpads, etc.) are for informational purposes only. We do not vouch for their legal status, business performance, or credibility. All users are solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence.
Introductions made via DeckNode should not be interpreted as a vetting, recommendation, or approval. We do not conduct audits, KYC, or legal reviews of platform users.
We strongly advise all founders and investors to:
Perform independent due diligence
Request references and documentation
Consult licensed legal, tax, and financial professionals
Avoid assuming credibility based solely on a DeckNode introduction
No Legal, Financial, or Tax Advice
DeckNode does not provide legal, financial, or tax advice.
Any statements made on our site or in communications are for general informational purposes and do not substitute for professional advice. You should always consult your own:
Legal counsel before entering into investment agreements
Licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions
Tax professional to understand jurisdictional implications
DeckNode assumes no responsibility for legal, financial, or tax outcomes related to any introductions or insights shared.
Regulatory Compliance Disclaimers
EU & Portuguese Regulation
DeckNode endeavors to comply with all relevant laws, including AML laws, GDPR, and forthcoming MiCA regulations. We do not intentionally engage in any activity that would require registration as a broker, investment advisor, or Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP). Should our services evolve in the future, we will seek appropriate licensing or modify our operations.
MiCA and CASP Status
DeckNode is not currently authorized as a CASP under EU Regulation 2023/1114 (MiCA). We do not provide investment advice, trading services, or token placements that fall under the regulated scope. Any crypto-related support we offer is limited to non-regulated introductions and business strategy guidance.
U.S. Regulation and Investors
DeckNode is not a registered U.S. broker-dealer or finder. We do not knowingly participate in U.S. securities offerings or solicit U.S. investors in a manner that would require such registration. Any interactions with U.S. persons are done with the understanding that both parties are compliant with relevant exemptions (e.g., Regulation D accredited investor requirements).
We do not facilitate general solicitation and operate in a controlled, private introduction model only.
Users are solely responsible for determining if they or their counterparties require regulatory approvals or exemptions.
Investment Risk Disclosure
Engaging in early-stage investing—particularly in Web3 and crypto projects—carries high risk.
By using DeckNode, you acknowledge that:
There is no guarantee of funding, profitability, or success
Startups and tokens can fail, be hacked, become non-compliant, or lose value
You may lose part or all of your investment
We do not participate in negotiations or terms, and do not ensure fair deal structures
It is your responsibility to evaluate dilution, lock-ups, valuation, and risks independently
You are strongly encouraged to:
Avoid investing more than you can afford to lose
Seek advice from qualified professionals before proceeding
Treat all forward-looking claims with skepticism
DeckNode does not underwrite, verify, or guarantee the outcome of any investment.
Liability Waiver
To the fullest extent permitted by law, DeckNode disclaims all liability for:
Direct or indirect financial losses
Reputational harm, legal consequences, or investment failure
Platform downtime, bugs, data loss, or delays
Any claim arising from interactions between users introduced through our platform
If a court were to find DeckNode liable despite this Disclaimer, our total liability shall be limited to the fees you directly paid to DeckNode for the related introduction (or €0 if none).
This limitation is a core condition of our engagement and use of our services.
Forward-Looking Statements
Any forward-looking statements shared on the site or in communications (e.g. projections, expansion plans, roadmap items) are non-binding and speculative.
These statements reflect our understanding at the time but are subject to change and uncertainty. DeckNode makes no assurance that such statements will come to pass.
Use of the Website
Use of the DeckNode website is subject to our Terms of Use. This Disclaimer complements those Terms and shall be interpreted to provide the maximum legal protection to DeckNode in case of overlap or ambiguity.
We do not guarantee website uptime or uninterrupted access. Users are encouraged to maintain their own records of submissions and communications.
Changes to Disclaimer
We may update this Disclaimer at any time. Updates take effect immediately upon posting. Continued use of the site or services constitutes your acceptance of any changes.
