Terms of Service & Disclaimer
AIyield Disclaimer (GPU Shares)
1. No Investment, No Financial Product
GPU Shares are not an investment, not a security, not a financial instrument, and not an ownership interest in AIyield, its infrastructure, or any underlying hardware. Nothing on the AIyield platform constitutes investment advice, financial advice, or a solicitation of capital.
2. GPU Shares Are an Abstraction
A “GPU Share” is a technical and accounting abstraction used to represent a proportional claim on node output allocation during a fixed-duration training run. GPU Shares do not represent ownership of GPUs, nodes, data centers, compute hardware, tokens, or protocol assets.
3. No Guaranteed Rewards or Profits
There are no guaranteed outcomes, rewards, yields, profits, or returns of any kind. Any references to “outputs,” “points,” “rewards,” or “network incentives” are non-binding, experimental, and entirely dependent on third-party protocols and their rules, uptime, performance, and discretionary decisions.
4. Third-Party Protocol Risk
Training runs may occur on external networks or research protocols. AIyield does not control, does not guarantee, and is not responsible for:
Protocol reward mechanisms
Token issuance, airdrops, or incentives
Rule changes, slashing, delays, or cancellations
Network downtime, forks, or governance decisions
These protocols may change or terminate their programs at any time, with or without notice.
5. Loss of Funds
The $40 per GPU Share (or any amount paid) is a service fee for participation in a compute orchestration run. You acknowledge and accept that:
You may receive nothing in return
Funds may be fully lost
There is no refund, reimbursement, or compensation
AIyield is not liable for lost funds, lost opportunity, or unrealized expectations.
6. No Custody, No Fiduciary Duty
AIyield does not act as a custodian, broker, trustee, agent, or fiduciary. You participate at your own discretion and risk, and AIyield owes no duty of care regarding outcomes or profitability.
7. Experimental Infrastructure
AIyield operates experimental infrastructure involving distributed compute, orchestration software, and emerging AI training protocols. Failures may occur, including but not limited to:
Hardware failures
Network interruptions
Configuration errors
Protocol incompatibilities
Training interruptions or invalid outputs
These risks are inherent and accepted by the user.
8. No Secondary Market or Liquidity
GPU Shares:
Are non-transferable (unless explicitly stated otherwise)
Have no guaranteed liquidity
Are not redeemable, tradable, or convertible into cash, tokens, or equity
Any future on-chain representation is not guaranteed and remains discretionary.
9. Jurisdictional Restrictions
You are solely responsible for ensuring that participation is legal in your jurisdiction. AIyield makes no representations regarding regulatory compliance in any specific country or region.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
AIyield’s total liability shall never exceed the amount paid by the user
AIyield shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or speculative damages
If you want, next I can:
Tighten this further for US / EU regulatory posture
Rewrite it in plain-English + legal version
Add a one-paragraph “TL;DR risk warning” for the app UI
Stress-test it against Howey / MiCA / UK FCA language
This is already very solid for what you’re building.
yes add US and eu regulatory posture
Perfect — below is a regulatory addendum you can append to the disclaimer. This is written to be Howey-resistant (US) and MiCA/FCA-defensive (EU/UK) without over-lawyering it.
You can label this explicitly as a “Regulatory Notice (US & EU)”.
Regulatory Notice – United States
No Securities Offering
GPU Shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any state securities laws. They are not offered or sold as securities, investment contracts, notes, profit-sharing arrangements, or participation in a common enterprise.
Howey Test Positioning
GPU Shares are structured to not satisfy the elements of the Howey Test, including:
No investment of capital with an expectation of profit
No reliance on the managerial or entrepreneurial efforts of AIyield to generate financial returns
No pooling of funds for profit generation
Any participation is for access to compute orchestration services only, not for financial gain.
No Broker-Dealer or Investment Adviser
AIyield is not a broker-dealer, not an investment adviser, and not registered with the SEC, FINRA, or any state regulator. No statements on the platform should be interpreted as financial projections or promises.
Regulatory Notice – European Union & United Kingdom
Not a Financial Instrument (MiCA / MiFID II)
GPU Shares do not constitute:
Crypto-assets under MiCA intended as investments
Transferable securities under MiFID II
Units in a collective investment undertaking
E-money, asset-referenced tokens, or utility tokens with financial rights
They provide no claim on assets, revenues, or profits of AIyield or any third party.
No Public Offering
GPU Shares are not offered as part of a public offering of financial instruments in the EU or UK. They do not fall within prospectus requirements under the EU Prospectus Regulation or UK Prospectus Regulation.
No Collective Investment Scheme (AIFMD / FCA)
AIyield does not operate a collective investment scheme, alternative investment fund (AIF), or managed portfolio. User funds are not pooled for investment purposes, and outcomes are not managed with a profit objective.
FCA & Consumer Risk Acknowledgement
Participation involves experimental digital infrastructure services, not regulated financial products. Users acknowledge they are not protected by:
FSCS (UK)
Investor compensation schemes
Deposit guarantee schemes
Explicit User Acknowledgement
I understand that GPU Shares are not an investment, not a financial product, and may result in a total loss of funds. I participate solely for access to experimental compute orchestration services and accept all associated risks.
