Terms of Service
Last Updated: March 12, 2025
1. Introduction
Lombard Finance Ltd operates the Services, including the website at lombard.finance and its web-based interface (the “App”). Lombard Finance is not a broker, financial institution or creditor. The Services are offered as an administrative platform only.
The firm is not regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, meaning regulatory protections are unavailable.
2. Using Our Services
Service Description
The App functions as a front-end interface to blockchain protocols that enable digital asset staking and restaking. The Protocols themselves exist independently on blockchain networks and are not part of the Services.
Key Disclaimers
Investment Advice: The Services provide no investment or financial guidance. Users must conduct independent research and consult qualified advisors.
Wallet Usage: Third-party wallets used with the Services operate under separate provider terms. Lombard Finance maintains no control over wallet operations, private keys, or seed phrases and accepts no responsibility for wallet-related issues.
Third-Party Technologies: The App displays data alongside validator nodes, network bridges, and user wallets controlled by external parties. The Protocols and the Third-Party Technologies are not part of the Services, and your engagement with the Protocols via the App is entirely at your own risk.
Documentation: Information provided is for reference only and may be incomplete or outdated. Users should verify accuracy independently and conduct test transactions before material ones.
Rewards: Reputation indicators and points have no monetary value, cannot convert to tokens, and are non-transferable and non-redeemable.
Yield: Lombard cannot and does not offer or guarantee the receipt of yield in connection with your use of the Services.
Third-Party Token Distributions: The company acts as administrative agent only and makes no guarantees regarding the receipt, amount, timing, or availability of third-party tokens.
