Terms of use

TradeNodus is run by Agrinodus [legal entity and address to be added]. It gives an invited firm its own bridge: a read-only linked device on the WhatsApp accounts the firm links, which stores the chats its users tick and makes them available to the firm’s own AI assistants over MCP, to its web app and to the TradeNodus Chrome extension.

The bridge never sends messages, presence or read receipts, and it does not read or change your spreadsheets. The trade shown on this website, COF-027, is sample data with fictional names.

• Access is by invitation. Each firm receives its own address, such as yourfirm.tradenodus.com, and we invite its first person by email. The normal way in is email sign-in with approval: people sign in there with their work email, and someone who is not a member yet gets in once an approver at the firm lets them in. The access code the firm receives at setup is its bootstrap and emergency path, not the everyday way in.
• Keep the access code, sign-in links and keys confidential. Your firm is responsible for the people it gives them to and the people its approvers let in, and for revoking keys and assistant sign-ins that are no longer needed.
• During the pilot the service may change, be interrupted or be paused. There is no guaranteed availability. We tell you in advance of planned changes that affect you where we can.
• Fees, if any, are agreed in writing with each pilot firm. Using this website is free.

• You link your own WhatsApp account, from your own phone, and you can unlink it at any time.
• WhatsApp does not permit unofficial clients and may restrict an account that is linked to one. The bridge is built to keep that risk low, but cannot remove it. You accept that risk when you link an account.
• WhatsApp logs out linked devices when the phone has been offline for 14 days. Open WhatsApp on the phone at least that often to keep the bridge linked.
• TradeNodus is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to WhatsApp or Meta.

The chats and messages your bridge stores remain yours. You allow us to store and process them only to provide the service to your firm, as described in the privacy notice.

The chats you tick contain messages written by other people, such as counterparties, forwarders and colleagues. Your firm is responsible for having a lawful basis to store and process them, and for telling those people where the law requires it.

You choose the assistant and the plan, and you have your own agreement with its provider. What your assistant requests from the bridge goes to that provider under its terms. An assistant can be wrong: check its answers against the cited messages before you act on them, especially for prices, quantities, dates and commitments.

• Use the service only for your firm’s own lawful business.
• Do not try to reach another firm’s bridge, to get around sign-in, approval, the access code or keys, or to overload the service.
• Do not link a WhatsApp account you are not entitled to use.

We may suspend access that breaks these terms or puts the service or other firms at risk, and we tell you why.

If your firm runs the bridge binary on its own machine or server, your firm operates it and is responsible for that machine, its security, its backups and its keys. The licence that comes with the binary applies to it.

The service is provided during a pilot, as it is. To the extent Swiss law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for decisions made on the basis of an assistant’s answers, or for restrictions WhatsApp places on an account. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for intent or gross negligence. [Liability cap to be confirmed.]

Either side can end the pilot at any time by email. When it ends, we delete your firm’s bridge instance and its database, as described in the privacy notice. Before that, you can unlink every account and untick every chat yourself.

These terms are governed by Swiss law. [Place of jurisdiction to be confirmed.] Questions go to hello@tradenodus.com.
