Terms of service
Effective 2026-08-29. Every clause below corresponds to something stated elsewhere on this site. If you find one that contradicts a product page, the reading more favourable to you applies — and please tell us so we can fix it.
Governing language. This is a convenience translation of the Chinese服务条款. Where the two differ, the Chinese version governs.
1. Who these terms bind
Registering an account on safearbitrage.com, using any function beyond the return calculator, or transferring funds into the platform's dedicated account constitutes acceptance of these terms. Do not register if you are under 18, or if your jurisdiction prohibits crypto-asset services.
2. What we provide
A delta-neutral arbitrage service based on perpetual futures funding rates: a futures leg and a spot leg are opened together at matched notional, and the return comes from the funding rate settled every eight hours. Principal can be scaled up to 10x under the exchange's position rules, and the funds used for that scaling carry no interest.
We do not provide investment advice, and we promise no return beyond the floor terms set out below.The historical performance shown on this site is a back-test of period-by-period funding data and does not indicate future results.
3. Plans and fees
- Minimum 5,000 USDT, term 1-5 years, with principal and return returned at maturity according to the plan selected.
- Capital protection and yield protection are two different things, stated per plan.Plan one, Protected + floor: 100% principal guaranteed, with a take-home annualised return of no less than 7% — "take-home" means after all platform fees have been deducted, not a gross figure, and where market conditions fall short of that line the platform makes up the difference.Plan two, Protected 7:3: 100% principal guaranteed, with no floor on yield; returns move with strategy performance.Plan three, Unprotected 3:7: neither principal nor yield is guaranteed; both move with strategy performance and a loss is possible.
- Excess split: only the part above the floor and the platform fees enters the split, andthe ratio depends on the plan, not on the amount — Plan two (Protected 7:3) at 7:3; Plan three (Unprotected 3:7) at 3:7 (the platform's share is written first).
- Plan one does not take part in that split: all excess goes to the platform, in exchange for 100% principal protection and the floor.
- Fees are always a management fee, never a commission: a flat 2% annual management fee across all three plans. It is deducted from returns at settlement and never billed to you separately. In a year where returns are not enough to cover it in full, the platform absorbs the shortfall and does not bill you for it later.
- Returns do not compound: the three plans distribute annually, quarterly and monthly respectively, and principal does not roll up.
4. The boundaries of custody
Funds under all plans are held in the platform's dedicated account, and the platform executes the strategy.This is the precondition for the floor and the principal guarantee being deliverable at all — with funds sitting in your own exchange account, the platform has no means of performing them. You do not need to give us any exchange API key.
Custody means platform credit risk, and no wording removes that.The ratio of the platform's available funds to its promised liabilities — the solvency ratio — is recorded daily by an end-of-day job and the last 30 days are visible in the console. It is something you can verify; it is not a guarantee. Plans one and two include 100% principal protection and plan three does not."Custody" and "principal protected" are not the same thing, and neither are "principal protected" and "yield protected".
The custody account and operating funds are kept in separate books and are not used for the platform's own operating expenses. Transfers in and out are governed by the records you raise in the console, traceable entry by entry.
5. Exit
- Capital-growth plan: you may request principal back early, credited within 7 business days, with no penalty.
- Other plans: the term of the selected plan applies. Plans longer than one year carry explicit early-settlement clauses; the plan page and the confirmation document you signed govern.
- On early exit, funding not yet settled for the current period is calculated on amounts actually credited, never on an estimate.
6. Risk and limitation of liability
This service removes directional price risk. It does not remove: funding decaying to zero or turning negative, exchange outages and contract-rule changes, liquidity drying up in extreme conditions, orthe platform's ability to perform, on which custody, the floor and the principal guarantee all depend. The full account is on risk and boundaries.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect loss, loss of profit or loss of data; liability for direct loss is capped at the fees you actually paid us in the twelve months before the event.This clause does not exclude liability arising from our wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
7. Suspension and termination
We may suspend service and notify you where: we have reasonable grounds to suspect the account is involved in money laundering or appears on a sanctions list, identity information cannot be verified, or you ask us to perform an operation outside the scope of these terms. Returns already accrued are settled as normal during a suspension, and suspension does not affect your right to exit under section 5.
8. Changes
Where these terms change materially we update the effective date on this page and prompt you the next time you sign in to the console. An investment term already under way runs under the version you accepted at the time; new versions are not retroactive.
9. Contact
For any question about these terms, open a ticket from the account page in the console. The operating entity's name, place of registration and filing details will be added to this page.
10. Language
This English text is provided for convenience. The authoritative version is the Chinese服务条款, and in the event of any inconsistency the Chinese version prevails. The effective date and the figures are the same on both — both pages read them from the same product data.
