Last updated July 5, 2026 · Senoa Technologies, Inc.
Draft — pending legal review. This document is a working draft prepared for internal and outside-counsel review. It reflects Senoa's product as designed and documented internally, but several items referenced here (dispute-resolution timelines, arbitration terms, money-transmission/licensing status, and specific fee schedules) are not yet finalized. Do not treat this page as a binding agreement until it has been reviewed and approved by qualified legal counsel and formally published.
1. Introduction
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Senoa, including our website, mobile and web applications, Newsline, Marketplace, Senoa Studio, Advocacy program, and related services (collectively, the "Platform"), operated by Senoa Technologies, Inc. ("Senoa," "we," "us," or "our").
By creating an account or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
2. Eligibility & Accounts
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use Senoa. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
Senoa uses a tiered verification model. Depending on how you use the Platform, you may be asked to complete one or more of the following:
Free-roaming / unverified: browse the Platform and list a limited number of Marketplace items without identity verification, subject to listing and price limits.
Verified individual: complete self-serve identity verification (name, date of birth, government ID) to unlock expanded Marketplace and payment features.
Senoa Verified Seller: individual verification plus a listing in the Senoa Business Directory. This designation does not itself create a legal business entity and does not replace any registration, licensing, or tax obligation you may have.
Verified Business: individual verification plus business (KYB) verification, including registered business name, registration number, business type, country of registration, and supporting documentation, subject to review.
We may suspend or decline to verify any account at our discretion, including where verification information cannot be confirmed.
3. Decentralized Identity (DID) & Data Separation
Senoa's systems are designed around a Decentralized Identifier (DID), a pseudonymous identifier assigned to your account, rather than your name, to help protect your privacy while still improving your experience on the Platform.
Activity and preference data used to personalize and improve your experience on the Platform, including recommendations, feed personalization, and Advocate-targeting, is collected and profiled against your DID, not against your name or other directly identifying information.
Personally identifying information, including your name, date of birth, and any identification documents collected during KYC/KYB verification (see Section 2), is stored separately from the data associated with your DID and is not used to build a profile tied to your name.
Because profiling is performed against your DID rather than your personal identity, your on-platform activity remains pseudonymous within Senoa's own systems.
We may still associate your DID with your verified identity internally where required by law, such as sanctions screening, fraud prevention, or a valid legal request, but that association is kept separate from, and is not merged into, the profile built against your DID for product and personalization purposes.
See our Privacy Policy for more detail on how DID-based data separation works in practice.
4. The Senoa Platform
Senoa provides four connected areas of functionality:
Newsline: a social feed for following creators and businesses, including free and paid ("gated") posts.
Marketplace: a venue for buying and selling goods, services, and subscriptions, with optional escrow-backed checkout.
Senoa Studio: tools to launch a storefront on the Platform without writing code.
Advocacy: a referral and commission program described in Section 8.
Senoa acts as a neutral platform that hosts listings, content, and offerings created by users and businesses. We do not endorse, guarantee, or take responsibility for the accuracy of third-party listings, posts, or offerings, and each business is responsible for its own compliance with laws applicable to what it sells or offers.
5. Your Wallet & Digital Assets
Senoa provides each account with a custodial wallet. This means Senoa or its third-party custody partner holds and secures the private keys associated with your wallet on your behalf; you do not directly hold your own private keys. Supported assets currently include BTC, ETH, SNO, USDT, TRX, and LTC, and the list of supported assets may change over time.
Digital assets are volatile and carry risk, including the risk of partial or total loss of value. Senoa is not a bank, and balances held in your wallet are not deposits and are not insured by the FDIC or any similar government deposit insurance scheme.
You are responsible for reviewing transaction details (recipient, network, amount) before confirming any transfer. Blockchain transactions are generally irreversible once confirmed.
See our Compliance page for additional disclosures about custody, digital asset risk, and our verification programs.
6. Marketplace, Escrow & Disputes
Depending on the listing type, a Marketplace purchase may use one of the following payment structures:
Subscriptions: recurring payments for ongoing access to a seller's gated content or signals, with no escrow involved.
Milestone escrow: for freelance-style engagements, funds are held in escrow and released as milestones are marked delivered and approved by the buyer.
Standard escrow checkout: for one-time purchases, your payment is held in escrow until you confirm receipt of the item or service, at which point funds are released to the seller.
If an item or service is not delivered as described, you may open a dispute through the Platform. Our formal dispute-resolution process, including evidence submission and timelines, is still being finalized. Until it is published, Senoa support will work in good faith with both parties to help resolve disagreements, but we do not currently guarantee a specific outcome or timeline for any dispute.
7. Fees
Senoa may charge fees for certain activities on the Platform, including a platform fee applied within the Advocacy commission structure described in Section 8. Any applicable fees for a given transaction, subscription, or feature will be disclosed to you before you confirm that transaction. We reserve the right to introduce, change, or waive fees, with notice as required by law.
8. Advocacy Program
Every Senoa account is automatically placed into the Advocacy program's referral structure, called the Unified Tree, upon sign-up. You may refer other users or businesses to Senoa or to any business on the Platform, and earn commission when a referred connection completes a qualifying action, not solely on a first purchase.
The Unified Tree supports three referral modes a business or user may configure: Circle (a limited, fixed-width structure), Affiliate (a linear multi-tier structure up to ten tiers), or Both. Senoa's own internal referral program uses a flat, two-tier structure only (Tier 1 and Tier 2) and is not a multilevel or pyramid structure.
Advocacy participation may involve purchasing an NFT-based "Pass," available at published price tiers, which unlocks additional platform features and referral capabilities. A Pass is not an investment, a security, or a promise of return. It grants access to platform features and the referral/commission system described here, and its value is not guaranteed. Pass purchases may be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase; after that window, your Unified Tree placement and any associated referral commitments are final.
Any business that configures a multi-tier referral structure for its own products or offerings is solely responsible for ensuring that structure complies with applicable law in its own jurisdiction; Senoa's role is limited to providing the underlying platform tooling.
9. AD-Token & SNO
AD-Token is Senoa's internal utility token, used for advertising, content-boosting, and in-platform purchases and services. SNO is a supported payment asset that can be used to complete purchases and boosts on the Platform. Neither token currently offers staking, governance rights, vesting schedules, or is sold as an investment product, and neither should be treated as one.
10. Sanctions & Restricted Persons
You may not use Senoa if you are located in, or a resident of, a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) or equivalent sanctions authorities, or if you are listed on any applicable restricted- or denied-party list. We may restrict access from additional jurisdictions as needed to comply with applicable law.
11. User Conduct
When using Senoa, you agree not to:
Violate any applicable law or regulation, including money-laundering, sanctions, tax, or consumer-protection laws.
List or sell prohibited, stolen, counterfeit, or illegal goods or services.
Misrepresent your identity, credentials, or the nature of any listing, post, or offering.
Manipulate the Advocacy referral system through fake accounts, self-referrals, or automated sign-ups.
Interfere with the security or normal operation of the Platform.
12. Content & Intellectual Property
You retain ownership of content you post to Senoa. By posting content, you grant Senoa a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content as necessary to operate the Platform. For gated content, only paying subscribers or purchasers are granted access, consistent with the terms the creator sets for that content.
Senoa's name, logo, and platform design are the property of Senoa Technologies, Inc. and may not be used without permission.
13. Advertising
Business accounts may purchase advertising placements across Newsline, Business Newsline, ad units, and Marketplace surfaces. Ad placement is currently based on the placements and budget tier a business selects, not on personal-data-driven audience targeting. This may evolve, and any material change will be reflected in an updated version of this policy or our Privacy Policy.
14. Termination
You may stop using Senoa at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Platform or other users. Upon termination, provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5, 7, 8, 15, and 16) will continue to apply.
15. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Senoa does not guarantee the value, security, or availability of any digital asset, and is not responsible for losses resulting from market volatility, third-party custody providers, or blockchain network conditions outside our control.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Senoa's aggregate liability arising from your use of the Platform will not exceed the greater of the fees you paid to Senoa in the twelve months before the claim, or a nominal amount to be specified upon legal review.
16. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Senoa harmless from claims, damages, and expenses arising from your use of the Platform, your content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
17. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
Governing law, venue, and whether disputes will be resolved through arbitration or in court are to be finalized with legal counsel and will be added here before publication.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice, such as posting an updated version on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
