1. Platform overview

DFTP (Decentralized Trade Finance Platform) is a technology platform connecting exporters, investors, creditors, insurers, logistics providers, sellers, and buyers for structured trade finance transactions.

2. Eligibility

Access is limited to institutional and corporate participants that complete KYB/KYC verification. Individual retail investors may participate through approved investment pools with a minimum ticket of 50 USDT.

3. Risk disclosure

All investments carry risk of loss including total loss of capital. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The platform does not guarantee returns, principal protection, or deal completion. Users should seek independent financial advice.

4. Compliance

All participants must comply with applicable AML/KYC regulations, sanctions regimes (OFAC, EU, UN), and tax reporting requirements (FATCA/CRS). The platform conducts ongoing screening and may suspend accounts that fail compliance checks.

Deal funds are held in segregated escrow accounts with release conditions tied to documented milestones (BoL issuance, delivery confirmation, payment receipt). The platform does not commingle user funds.

7. Dispute resolution

Disputes are resolved through the platform's escalation path: self-service → platform mediation → formal dispute → external arbitration (LCIA, London). Governing law: England & Wales.

8. Data & privacy

See our Privacy Policy for details on data collection, processing, and retention.

9. Limitation of liability

The platform acts as a technology intermediary and is not a party to trade finance transactions. Maximum liability is limited to fees paid in the preceding 12 months.

10. Changes

We may update these terms with 30 days' notice via the platform. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
