Status of this document

Last updated: 12 October 2026
Effective from: 10 October 2026
Replaces: the page "Copyright, Trademark and Licensing" at https://cci30.com/terms/ (last updated 15 July 2026) and the licensing statements in the section "Licensing and permitted use" of https://cci30.com/index-data/ (last updated 3 August 2026), as clause 1.6 explains.
Published at: https://cci30.com/terms/

These Terms are written in plain English. Where a word starts with a capital letter, it has the meaning given in clause 2. Clause numbers are used for cross-references and do not change between minor revisions.

Part A. Introduction, definitions and the Administrator

1. About these Terms

1.1 What these Terms cover. These Terms of Use and Licence (the "Terms") govern how you may access and use:

(a) the Website;

(b) the Index and all Index Data;

(d) the Documents, including the Methodology Manual; and

(e) the Marks.

1.2 Who we are. The Index is administered, and the Website is operated, by CSP DAO LLC, described in clause 3 (the "Administrator", "we", "us" or "our").

1.3 How you accept these Terms. You accept these Terms when you do any of the following, whichever happens first:

(a) you access or use the Website;

(b) you download a Data File;

(d) you accept Access Credentials from us; or

(e) you use Index Data, a Document or a Mark in a way these Terms describe.

If you do not accept these Terms, do not use the Website, the Data Services, the Index Data, the Documents or the Marks. Rights you have under the CC Licence, or under the law without anyone's permission, do not depend on your acceptance of these Terms (clauses 13.8 and 15.3).

1.4 Acting for an organisation. If you use the Website, Index Data or a Data Service for a company, university, fund, publisher or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms for it. In that case "you" means both you and that organisation.

1.5 Other documents that apply. The following documents also apply, in the order of priority set out in clause 4:

(a) any Licence Agreement you have signed with us;

(b) the CC Licence, for CC-Licensed Material;

(d) the Methodology Manual, for how the Index is calculated and maintained.

1.6 What these Terms replace. From the date in "Effective from" above, these Terms replace:

(a) the page "Copyright, Trademark and Licensing" dated 15 July 2026;

3. The Administrator

3.1 Legal entity. The Administrator is CSP DAO LLC, a limited liability company organised under the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, on 2 March 2022, with Wyoming filing number 2022-001086782. Its registered agent is Registered Agents Inc, at 30 N Gould St, Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States.

3.2 Owner of record of the Registered Marks. CS&P SA is the owner of record of the Registered Marks (clause 19.2). The United States Patent and Trademark Office records CS&P SA as a corporation organised in Panama, with the address Ricardo J. Alfaro Av, The Century Tower, Panama 01000, Panama.

3.3 Legal Entity Identifier. The Administrator's Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is 9845006BE86C7D0ZBC50. Anyone can check it in the Global LEI Index maintained by the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation at https://search.gleif.org/. On 10 October 2026 the record showed the registration status "ISSUED" and the next renewal date 26 August 2027.

3.4 Earlier references to "CS&P" and "CCi30". The version of the Methodology Manual dated 3 August 2026 and other Documents published before these Terms say that the Index is "issued and administered by CS&P (www.cs-p.com)". From the effective date of these Terms, those references are to be read as references to the Administrator. Where the Website uses "CCi30" alone to describe a person that acts (for example, "CCi30 actively protects its intellectual property rights", in section 13 of the page that these Terms replace), it means the Administrator.

3.5 People named on the Website. The Website names the founders of the Index, Carlo Scevola (economist) and Igor Rivin (mathematician). They are not parties to these Terms. Obligations under these Terms are the Administrator's alone.

3.6 Contact. You can contact the Administrator as set out in clause 35.

4. Order of precedence

4.1 Which document wins. If two documents that apply to your use say different things, the following order applies, with the highest first:

(a) a Licence Agreement, between its parties and for the subject matter it covers;

(b) the CC Licence, for CC-Licensed Material and only to the extent that it grants a permission;

(d) these Terms (other than clause 14);

(e) the Privacy Policy, for Personal Data; and

(f) the Methodology Manual, for how the Index is calculated, maintained and published.

4.2 Descriptive material. The following material describes the Index, the Data Services and these Terms. It does not grant, limit or change any right, and if it differs from these Terms, these Terms apply (subject to clause 4.1(a) to (c)):

(a) the index data page, the FAQ, the methodology summary and other Website pages;

(b) the files llms.txt and llms-full.txt and the structured data embedded in Website pages;

(d) responses from the API and headers or notes in Data Files; and

(e) posts on social media accounts operated by us or for us.

4.3 Translations. If we publish these Terms in another language, the English version prevails.

Part B. The Index

5. The Index and how it is published

5.1 What the Index measures. The Index measures the performance of 30 cryptocurrencies selected and weighted under the rules in the Methodology Manual. It is a price return index denominated in US dollars. It has a base value of 100.00 at the close of 1 January 2015, which is 00:00 GMT on 2 January 2015. That first Index Business Day opened at 101.36 and closed at 100.00. It has been published in real time since 1 January 2017. Schedule 2 lists its identifiers.

5.2 Values calculated before real-time publication. Index values for the period from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2016 were calculated after the event, from historical data, and were not published in real time at the time they refer to.

5.3 Three kinds of published value. We publish three kinds of value:

(a) Indicative Values. During each Index Business Day we calculate a value about every 10 seconds from the latest Constituent prices. We do not publish an Indicative Value when our checks show that the inputs are incomplete or out of date. At the date of these Terms, we withhold the value if any Constituent has no price, or if more than three Constituents have a price older than 15 minutes.

(b) Provisional Values. Shortly after the end of each Index Business Day (at about 00:00:05 GMT on the next day), we publish a provisional open, high, low and close for the day that has ended.

(c) Official End-of-Day Values. At about 03:15 GMT on the next day, we calculate and publish the official open, high, low and close for the day that has ended. These replace the Provisional Values for that day.

5.4 Only the Official Close is official. For each Index Business Day, the Official Close is the only official value of the Index. The statistics in the statistics section of the Website, and licensed reporting, are based on Official End-of-Day Values. The live figures shown during the day, such as the change on the day, the year-to-date and month-to-date changes and the day's high and low, compare the latest Indicative Value with Official Closes, or follow the Indicative Values, and change with them. Indicative Values, Provisional Values and those live figures are for information only.

5.5 How the official high and low are calculated. The official daily high and low of the Index are calculated from each Constituent's own daily high and low, as the Methodology Manual sets out. For this reason the official high can be higher than any Indicative Value published during that day, and the official low can be lower than any of them.

5.6 Publication times are targets. The times in clause 5.3 are targets, not commitments. Publication may be early or late, for example while we check data or when a Third-Party Provider is unavailable.

5.7 Published statistics. We also publish statistics computed from Official Closes and, for some statistics, from Third-Party Data. Examples are returns over several periods, volatility, the Sharpe-Rivin ratio, the Market Efficiency Ratio and regressions against other assets. These statistics are Index Data. They are not Official End-of-Day Values.

6. Methodology, governance and changes to the Index

6.1 The Methodology Manual governs the calculation. The Methodology Manual sets out how the Index is calculated, how Constituents are selected and weighted, and how the Index is maintained. Where a summary on the Website differs from the Methodology Manual, the Methodology Manual applies.

6.2 Rules first. The Index is calculated by rules. We use expert judgement only where the Methodology Manual permits it, for example in extraordinary market events, interruptions in prices or other data, Restatements, and the closure or failure of a market or network. When we use expert judgement on a matter that affects published values or Composition Data, we publish a short statement of what we decided and why within 5 Index Business Days.

6.3 Governance. Methodology changes and uses of expert judgement are decisions of the Administrator, and the Administrator is responsible for them.

6.4 Changes to the methodology. We may change the methodology. For a material change, we will publish a notice on the Website that describes the change and the reasons for it at least 30 days before the change takes effect, and invite comments for at least 14 days. Where a change is needed sooner because of an extraordinary event, a legal or regulatory requirement, or an error, we may make it at once and will publish the notice as soon as practicable afterwards. A change that does not alter how the Index is calculated, such as a correction of wording or a clarification, may be made when we publish a new version of the Methodology Manual.

6.5 Versions. Each version of the Methodology Manual carries a version number and a date. We keep previous versions and provide them on request.

6.6 Rebalancing and reconstitution. Weights are recalculated on the first calendar day of each month, and Constituents are reviewed and changed on the first calendar day of January, April, July and October, as the Methodology Manual sets out.

6.7 Cessation of the Index. We may stop calculating and publishing the Index. Unless circumstances outside our control prevent it, we will publish a notice on the Website and send it to Licensees at least 90 days before the last publication. The notice will state the reasons and any transition arrangements. A Licence Agreement may set out further cessation terms.

6.8 Conflicts of interest. The Administrator's members, managers and staff, CS&P SA and the people named in clause 3.5 may hold or trade cryptocurrencies that are, or may become, Constituents.

6.9 Alignment with the IOSCO Principles. We aim to administer the Index in a manner aligned with the IOSCO Principles. This is a statement of our own approach. It means that we use the IOSCO Principles as the reference for our governance, methodology, publication and correction practices. It does not mean:

(a) that IOSCO, a regulator or any independent party has reviewed, assessed, approved or certified the Index, the Methodology Manual or the Administrator;

(b) that the Administrator complies with every IOSCO Principle in full; or

(c) that the Index may be used as a benchmark in a regulated fund, financial instrument or financial contract in any jurisdiction.

6.10 Regulatory status. Nothing in these Terms states or implies that a regulator has authorised, registered, recognised or endorsed the Administrator as a benchmark administrator, or that the Index is included in a public register of benchmarks. If you intend to use the Index in a regulated product or contract, you are responsible for finding out and meeting the requirements that apply to you, for example under the EU Benchmarks Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011) or the United Kingdom's equivalent rules. A Licence Agreement does not change this.

7. Data accuracy, errors and corrections

7.1 Why errors can occur. Index Data depends on Third-Party Data and on automated systems. Errors can occur in source data, in calculation, in transmission or in display. Clauses 29 and 30 set out the limits of our responsibility for errors.

7.2 Our checks. Before we publish Official End-of-Day Values, we run checks on the inputs and the results. Clause 5.3(a) describes when we withhold Indicative Values.

7.3 Reporting an error. If you believe that a published value is wrong, e-mail info@cci30.com with the Index Business Day, the time, the value you saw, where you saw it and why you believe it is wrong. We will acknowledge your report within 5 Index Business Days.

7.4 Material errors. An error in an Official Close is material if the difference between the published value and the correct value is 0.10% or more of the correct value, or if we decide that it is material after considering the factors in clause 7.8. An error in Composition Data is material if it changed, or could have changed, an Official Close by that amount.

7.5 What we do about a material error. When we find a material error in an Official Close or in Composition Data, we correct the value in all Data Services and publish a Correction Notice.

7.6 Correction Notices. A Correction Notice is published on the Website within 5 Index Business Days after we confirm the error. It states:

(a) each Index Business Day affected;

(b) the value as published (the erroneous value);

(d) the cause of the error;

(e) the date and time at which the corrected value appears in the Data Services; and

(f) whether published statistics were recalculated.

We also send each Correction Notice by e-mail to all Licensees and to all holders of Access Credentials for the Real-time tier (together, the "entitled counterparties").

7.7 Errors that are not material. We may correct an error that is not material without a Correction Notice.

7.8 Factors we consider. In deciding whether an error is material, whether to correct past values and how far back to correct them, we consider:

(a) the importance of the data field affected;

(b) the date and time at which the error occurred;

(d) the size of the error;

(e) the burden that a correction places on users who must reprocess data, compared with the effect of the error;

(f) the effect of a correction on analytical tools and published statistics; and

(g) whether the error came from Third-Party Data or from our own calculation.

7.9 Values that are not restated. We do not restate Indicative Values or Provisional Values, except that, in a Restatement, we rescale the stored Indicative Values of the days concerned so that they agree with the restated Official End-of-Day Values (clause 8.3(h)). If an Indicative Value or a Provisional Value was wrong, the Official End-of-Day Values for that day are the values to use.

7.10 Composition errors. If a cryptocurrency was included in the Index, or weighted, in error, we may correct the Composition Data from the time we find the error or from the time the error occurred, after considering the factors in clause 7.8. The Correction Notice says which approach we took.

7.11 Using corrected values. If you publish or redistribute Index Data, you should replace values that we have corrected as soon as practicable. Licensees must do so as their Licence Agreements require.

8. Corrections and restatements

8.1 When we restate. We may make a Restatement when we find an error that affects a period of more than one Index Business Day, for example an error in source data, in stored inputs or in how a past calculation applied the methodology.

8.2 How we restate. When we make a Restatement, we:

(a) publish a notice on the Website that states the period affected, the cause, the method used to calculate the restated values, examples of values before and after the Restatement, and the date of the Restatement;

(b) keep the series as published before the Restatement;

(d) send the notice to the entitled counterparties described in clause 7.6.

8.3 The restatement of 9 October 2026. On 9 October 2026 we restated the published daily history of the Index. The history was rebuilt for every Index Business Day from 1 January 2018. The first published Official Close that changed is that of 30 May 2018, and because each day's value builds on the day before, every later Official Close changed as well.

(a) The restated history was rebuilt from the daily closing prices stored by the Index's previous calculation system, applied to the Constituents and units in force on each day. On days for which stored prices were missing, the published daily change was kept. For each restated day, the open was set to the restated close of the day before, and the high and low were scaled by the same factor as the close.

(b) For 2018, the published daily changes were kept, except on 8 days on which two independent rebuilds both showed a difference of at least 0.5% in the same direction: 30 May, 1, 2 and 3 August, 4 November, and 9, 10 and 31 December 2018.

(c) The values for 2015, 2016 and 2017 were not changed and remain as originally published. For 1 January to 29 May 2018 the Official Closes were not changed: they differ from the published figures only by rounding, by less than 0.00001%. Under paragraph (a) the open of each of those days was set to the close of the day before, which changed the Official Open of 147 of those days, by at most 1.19%, and the low of one day.

(d) The Official Close for 8 October 2026 was 12,579.70 before the Restatement and 18,671.16 after it.

(e) The statistics published on the Website were recalculated from the restated history.

(f) We keep the series as published before the Restatement and provide it on request.

(g) This clause 8.3 is the notice described in clause 8.2(a) for the Restatement of 9 October 2026.

(h) The intraday values stored for earlier days, and the units of the Constituents in force, were rescaled by each day's restatement factor, so that Indicative Values continue from the restated Official Closes.

On 12 October 2026 we made a second Restatement. It corrected the daily returns of eight days: 3 August, 4, 5 and 6 November, 9, 10 and 31 December 2018, and 30 June 2019. The causes were these. On 3 August 2018 the first Restatement compared the old and the new VeChain tokens without the swap ratio of 100. On 4, 5 and 6 November 2018 it corrected a one-day error that the published returns had already reversed. On 9, 10 and 31 December 2018 it averaged two rebuilds, and one of them was wrong. On 30 June 2019 the previous calculation system valued the composition of 1 July 2019 one day early. Each corrected return is the return of the archived daily prices of the Constituents with the units in force on that day, and every other day keeps its published return. The Official Close for 8 October 2026 changed from 18,671.16 to 18,533.41, and every Official Close from 30 June 2019 changed by -0.738%. Paragraphs (e), (f) and (h) apply to this Restatement in the same way, and the open, high and low of each day follow paragraph (a). This paragraph is the notice described in clause 8.2(a) for the Restatement of 12 October 2026. Two known errors before 30 May 2018 remain in the published values (Methodology Manual, Section 12.8). If we change further published values, we will do so under clauses 7 and 8.

8.4 Methodology applied in historical periods. Historical values were calculated by earlier systems. In some periods those systems applied the methodology differently from the current Methodology Manual. For example, the monthly weights between quarterly reconstitutions in the published history were calculated from raw market capitalisation, not from the exponentially weighted average that the Methodology Manual specifies.

8.5 Restated values and the CC Licence. Official End-of-Day Values made available under the CC Licence before a Restatement remain licensed under the CC Licence. If you use values retrieved before a Restatement, you should say so and give the date you retrieved them, so that readers do not take them for current Official End-of-Day Values. Clause 14.4 makes this a condition of the Extra Permission.

9. Third-party data sources

9.1 Current sources. At the date of these Terms, the Index and the published statistics use Third-Party Data from the following providers:

(a) CoinAPI: prices of Constituents, taken from CoinAPI's exchange-rate service, which gives a rate across several exchanges. These prices are used for Indicative Values and for each Constituent's daily open, high, low and close;

(b) CoinMarketCap: market capitalisations of cryptocurrencies, taken about every 10 minutes and used for ranking and weighting; the classification tags (such as stablecoin, wrapped token and liquid-staking derivative) used in the eligibility screens; and the 24-hour trading volumes of the Constituents, whose sum is recorded shortly after each Index Business Day as the volume of the Index for that day;

(d) Yahoo: daily adjusted closing prices of the GLD and SPY exchange-traded funds, used in published statistics.

For historical periods, the Index was calculated from the sources used by the systems then in operation.

9.2 Changes of source. We may change a Third-Party Provider. A change in the source of Constituent prices or market capitalisations is a change to the methodology and follows clause 6.4.

9.3 No relationship implied. Naming a Third-Party Provider does not mean that it endorses, sponsors or is responsible for the Index, or that we endorse it. The names of Third-Party Providers are trade marks of their owners.

9.4 Third-Party Data shown on the Website. Some pages show Third-Party Data for information, for example the price and market capitalisation of each Constituent, and the total market capitalisation and 24-hour trading volume of the Constituents. That Third-Party Data:

(a) belongs to the Third-Party Provider or its licensors;

(b) is not CC-Licensed Material and is not covered by the Extra Permission; and

9.5 Errors in Third-Party Data. We are not responsible for errors, delays or interruptions in Third-Party Data, except as clauses 7 and 8 provide for corrections to Index Data.

Part C. Intellectual property and licences

10. Ownership of rights

10.1 Who owns the rights. The Intellectual Property Rights in the Index, the Index Data, the Documents, the Website and the software behind them belong to the Administrator or its licensors.

10.2 What is protected. The rights in clause 10.1 include:

(a) copyright in the Documents, the text, graphics, charts and design of the Website, and the software;

(b) database rights in the Index Data as a collection, where such rights exist (for example the sui generis database right in the European Union and the United Kingdom), and copyright in the selection and arrangement of Index Data, where such copyright exists;

(d) rights in confidential information, such as non-public data, source code and internal procedures.

10.3 Individual values. We do not claim that copyright protects a single published number. Our rights in Index Data come from the rights in clause 10.2(b), from these Terms and Licence Agreements as contracts, and from the law of unfair competition where it applies.

10.4 Rights reserved. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms, in the CC Licence or in a Licence Agreement are reserved. This reservation is subject to clauses 13, 14 and 15.

10.5 No implied licence. No licence or right is granted by implication, by estoppel, by course of dealing, by exhaustion, because Index Data is available on the Website or through a Data Service, or because we have issued Access Credentials to you.

10.6 Your own material. You own the Derived Material you create, subject to our rights in any Index Data, Document or Mark that it contains.

10.7 Feedback. If you send us suggestions, comments or ideas about the Index, the Website or the Data Services, we may use them for any purpose without obligation to you. Do not send us information that you consider confidential unless we have agreed in writing to keep it confidential.

10.8 Enforcement. We and CS&P SA, as owner of record of the Registered Marks, may act against any use that breaches these Terms or infringes our Intellectual Property Rights. Action may include a request to stop the use, a takedown notice (including a notice under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act where it applies), proceedings for infringement, an application for an injunction, and claims for damages, an account of profits, interest and legal costs. If we do not act against one breach, we may still act against that breach later or against any other breach (clause 38.3).

11. Summary of what you may do

11.1 Summary table. The table below summarises clauses 12 to 20. If the table and a clause differ, the clause applies.

12. Use of the Website

12.1 Licence to use the Website. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to access and view the Website, and to download or print a reasonable number of pages and Documents for your personal, Non-Commercial reference, on these conditions:

(a) you do not modify any page, Document or graphic;

(b) you use a chart, graphic or illustration only together with the text that accompanies it on the Website; and

12.2 Framing and mirroring. You must not frame the Website, mirror it, or present any part of it as part of another website or application.

12.3 Links to the Website. You may link to any page of the Website, provided that the link and its context do not suggest that we endorse you, your website or your products, and the linking page does not contain unlawful material.

12.4 Screenshots. You may share a screenshot of a chart or table from the Website for Non-Commercial purposes, for example on a personal social media account, provided that the screenshot shows the Attribution Notice or you add it next to the screenshot.

12.5 Changes and availability. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the Website at any time. We do not promise that the Website will be available at any particular time or without interruption.

12.6 Links to other websites. The Website links to websites run by others, including Third-Party Providers, academic publishers and other index providers. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for them.

12.7 Website tools. The Website includes tools such as the allocation calculator, the rebalancing explorer, the statistics calculator and the historical constituents and weights explorer. Their outputs are calculations from Index Data. For example, the allocation calculator divides an amount of money across the Constituents in proportion to their official weights. That is arithmetic. It is not a recommendation to buy any Constituent (clause 27).

13. The CC Licence for Official End-of-Day Values and current weights

13.1 The grant. We make the CC-Licensed Material available to the public under the CC Licence. The legal code of the CC Licence governs that grant. This clause 13 explains how we apply the CC Licence. It does not change the CC Licence.

13.2 What the CC Licence covers. The CC-Licensed Material is:

(a) the Official End-of-Day Values, that is the official open, high, low and close of the Index, for every Index Business Day from 1 January 2015, as published in the daily history file on the Website and through the open tier of the Data Services; and

(b) the current Constituents of the Index and their weights, as served without Access Credentials by the MCP Server (the get_constituents and get_weights tools) and by the API. The live prices, market capitalisations and daily changes served with them are Third-Party Data and are not CC-Licensed Material.

No other material is CC-Licensed Material. In particular, the CC Licence does not cover:

(d) the volume figures published in the daily history file, which are built from Third-Party Data; or

(e) historical Composition Data, including the Constituents and weights in the quarterly constituents file and the monthly weights file.

The CC Licence also does not cover published statistics, the Documents, Website text and design, software, the Marks or Third-Party Data. Any use of the material in paragraphs (c) to (e) that these Terms or the law do not otherwise permit needs a Licence Agreement (clause 17.1).

13.3 What the CC Licence allows. In short, and subject to its conditions, the CC Licence allows anyone to:

(a) copy and share the CC-Licensed Material, in whole or in part, in any medium or format, for NonCommercial purposes (Section 2(a)(1));

(b) produce adapted versions for NonCommercial purposes, but not share them (Section 2(a)(1)). This is the "NoDerivatives" term;

(c) make technical changes that are needed to use the material in another medium or format, for example converting a CSV file to a spreadsheet. The CC Licence does not treat these changes as adaptation (Section 2(a)(4)); and

(d) extract, reuse, reproduce and share all or a substantial part of the contents of the database for NonCommercial purposes, provided that adapted material is not shared (Section 4).

13.4 Conditions of the CC Licence. The main conditions are:

(a) Attribution. If you share CC-Licensed Material, you must give the attribution required by Section 3(a), keep the notices we supply with the material, indicate any modification and refer to the CC Licence. You meet this condition by using the Attribution Notice in clause 18 and keeping the notice in Schedule 1, part 3.

(b) NonCommercial. The CC Licence defines NonCommercial as "not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation". Clause 16 uses the same test and gives examples of how we apply it.

(c) NoDerivatives. You may not share adapted material under the CC Licence. Clause 14 gives an Extra Permission for some kinds of Derived Material.

(d) No further restrictions. If you share CC-Licensed Material, you may not impose terms or technical measures that restrict the recipients' rights under the CC Licence (Section 2(a)(5)).

13.5 What the CC Licence does not give. The CC Licence does not license trade marks or patents (Section 2(b)(2)). It therefore does not allow you to use "CCi30" as the name of a product, fund, index or service, or to use the CCi30 logo. Clause 19 governs the Marks. The CC Licence also does not license Third-Party Data.

13.6 The grant cannot be revoked. The CC Licence is irrevocable (Section 2(a)(1)). For CC-Licensed Material already made available under it, we cannot withdraw it. Your rights under it end automatically if you fail to comply with it, and are reinstated automatically if you cure the failure within 30 days after you discover it (Sections 6(a) and 6(b)). We may stop offering further material under the CC Licence at any time, without affecting the licence of material already offered (Section 6(c)). We will continue to offer Official End-of-Day Values under the CC Licence until we publish a notice that we will stop, at least 90 days in advance.

13.7 Uses permitted by law. Where a use is allowed by law without permission, for example under fair use, fair dealing, a quotation right or a research exception, you do not need the CC Licence for that use (Sections 2(a)(2) and 8(a)), and clause 15.3 applies.

13.8 Relationship with these Terms. Nothing in these Terms reduces, limits, restricts or imposes conditions on any use of CC-Licensed Material that the CC Licence permits. If these Terms and the CC Licence differ about CC-Licensed Material, the CC Licence applies. These Terms still govern how you access the Website and the Data Services (for example clauses 24 and 26), because the CC Licence does not oblige us to provide access by any particular means.

13.9 Disclaimer under the CC Licence. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability in Section 5 of the CC Licence apply to the CC-Licensed Material, in addition to clauses 29 and 30.

14. Extra Permission for non-commercial derived statistics and research charts

14.1 The permission. In addition to the CC Licence, we grant every User a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to create Derived Material from the Official End-of-Day Values, and to share that Derived Material for Non-Commercial purposes, in the forms listed in clause 14.2 and on the conditions in clause 14.4.

14.2 Forms of Derived Material permitted. The Extra Permission covers:

(a) statistics computed from Official End-of-Day Values, such as returns over any period, volatility, drawdowns, ratios, correlations, regression coefficients and measures of distribution;

(b) charts and graphs of Official End-of-Day Values or of such statistics, including charts on a logarithmic scale, charts rebased to a common starting value, and charts that plot the Index with other series;

(c) tables and figures in research papers, theses, dissertations, teaching materials, journal articles, working papers, conference presentations and replication packages;

(d) selections of Official End-of-Day Values for chosen dates, and series resampled to a lower frequency, such as weekly or monthly closes;

(e) independent recalculations of the Index for verification or academic research, and the publication of the results together with a comparison with the Official End-of-Day Values; and

(f) translations of the titles, labels and captions of any of the above.

14.3 What the Extra Permission does not cover. The Extra Permission does not cover:

(a) any Commercial Use;

(b) Derived Material that is offered, labelled or designed to serve as a substitute for the Index or as a benchmark, for example a rebased daily series published as a data product, or an index built from the Index or the methodology and offered for others to track;

(d) any use of the Marks other than a factual reference under clause 19.4; or

(e) Derived Material made from Indicative Values, Provisional Values, current Composition Data or Third-Party Data.

14.4 Conditions. When you share Derived Material under the Extra Permission, you must:

(a) show the Attribution Notice in the form for Derived Material set out in clause 18.3;

(b) state the period of Official End-of-Day Values used and the date you retrieved them, and, if you retrieved them before 22:39 GMT on 9 October 2026, say that they are values from before the Restatement of that date (clause 8.3); and

14.5 Duration and change. The Extra Permission lasts for as long as these Terms include it. If we withdraw or narrow it under clause 36, Derived Material that you shared before the change may remain available and may continue to be shared in the same form. If you breach clause 14.3 or 14.4, the Extra Permission ends for you, and we may ask you to withdraw the Derived Material concerned.

14.6 Relationship with the CC Licence. The Extra Permission is a separate permission under these Terms. It does not change the CC Licence and does not place any Derived Material under the CC Licence. A person who receives your Derived Material may use the Official End-of-Day Values in it under the CC Licence, and the Derived Material under this clause 14.

15. Factual references and uses permitted by law

15.1 Factual references. Anyone may, without a licence, refer to the Index by name and report its level, its movements and its Constituents in news reporting, commentary, academic publications, research, teaching and other factual references, provided that:

(a) the reference is factual and accurate;

(b) the Index is identified as "CCi30 Cryptocurrency Index" at least at the first reference;

(c) the source is cited with the Attribution Notice, or, where the medium makes the full notice impractical, with the short form in clause 18.4; and

(d) the reference does not suggest that we endorse, sponsor, approve or are associated with the publisher, the publication or any product.

15.2 Journalism. We treat news reporting of the level or movements of the Index as Non-Commercial, for these Terms and for the CC Licence, including in publications that charge for subscriptions or carry advertising, provided that Index Data is not the main content offered for payment. A paid newsletter, signal service or report whose main content is Index Data, or analysis of Index Data, is Commercial Use.

15.3 Uses permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms restricts a use that the law allows without permission, including fair use, fair dealing, quotation, criticism, review, news reporting, research and teaching exceptions, exceptions for text and data mining, and the descriptive or nominative use of a trade mark.

15.4 Text and data mining. Text and data mining that the law allows without permission is covered by clause 15.3. Automated access for text and data mining, as for any other purpose, must follow clause 24.

16. Commercial use

16.1 Definition. "Commercial Use" means any use of the Index, Index Data, a Document or a Mark that is primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation, whether for you or for any other person. This is the same test as the CC Licence uses for "NonCommercial".

16.2 Examples of Commercial Use. Without limiting clause 16.1, each of the following is Commercial Use:

(a) Financial products. Use of the Index as a benchmark, underlying, reference rate or performance target for any fund (including index funds, mutual funds, hedge funds and regional index funds), exchange-traded fund or exchange-traded product, structured product, derivative (including futures, options, swaps and contracts for difference), tokenised product or other investment product;

(b) Performance reporting and marketing. Use of the Index in performance reporting, factsheets, client reporting, investor letters, pitch materials, advertising or marketing;

(c) Redistribution. Redistribution of Index Data, in whole or in part, as part of a commercial data feed, terminal, data product or service, whether or not a separate charge is made for the Index Data;

(d) Display. Display of Index Data within a commercial product, platform, application, website or service, including investment platforms, trading venues, brokerage applications, portfolio tools and dashboards;

(e) Derivative works. Construction of tracking portfolios, replicating or model strategies, indices, sub-indices or benchmarks from Index Data or from the methodology, for clients or for products;

(f) Software, research and publishing. Commercial software, market research services, and paid newsletters or paid reports whose main content is Index Data;

(g) AI products. Making Index Data available to the users of a commercial AI product or service, including by retrieval from the MCP Server, or training a model for a commercial AI product on Index Data;

(h) Licensing. Sub-licensing or licensing Index Data to third parties;

(i) Internal business use. Use of Index Data by an employee or contractor of a business for the purposes of that business, for example internal research at an asset manager, bank, exchange or trading firm; and

(j) Marks. Any use of the Marks in connection with a commercial offering, including in a product name, company name, domain name, social media handle or advertising.

16.3 Examples of Non-Commercial use. Each of the following is Non-Commercial, provided that clause 16.2 does not also apply to it:

(a) research and teaching at a university, school or research institute, including research funded by a grant;

(b) a student's thesis, dissertation or coursework;

(d) personal analysis, including analysis of your own investments, but not analysis for clients or for an employer;

(e) a publication by a non-profit organisation that does not sell Index Data or products based on it; and

(f) a replication package or open dataset that accompanies a Non-Commercial research publication.

16.4 Cases of doubt. If you are not sure whether a use is Commercial Use, ask us at info@cci30.com and describe the use. We will reply in writing within 10 Index Business Days. If we confirm in writing that a use you have described is Non-Commercial, we will not later treat that use as Commercial Use.

16.5 Commercial Use needs a Licence Agreement. Commercial Use of the Index, Index Data, a Document or a Mark needs a Licence Agreement. This applies to CC-Licensed Material too, because Commercial Use is outside the CC Licence.

17. Written licences

17.1 What needs a written licence. Any use of the Index, Index Data, Documents or Marks that is not permitted by the CC Licence, the Extra Permission, clause 12, clause 15, clause 20 or the law needs a Licence Agreement.

17.2 Licences available. Licences may be available for, among other uses:

(a) exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded products;

(b) investment funds, including regional index funds;

(d) exchanges and trading venues;

(e) banks and other financial institutions;

(f) data vendors and distribution platforms;

(g) research platforms;

(h) media organisations;

(i) educational institutions;

(j) access to Indicative Values through the Real-time tier of the API and the licensed tools of the MCP Server; and

(k) Vendor Delivery.

17.3 Terms of each licence. Each Licence Agreement is agreed individually according to the intended use, distribution, territory and commercial scope. Licences may be exclusive or non-exclusive. Licences are granted on a tiered basis according to the nature and scale of use.

17.4 When a licence exists. A Licence Agreement exists only when it has been signed for both parties. Correspondence, quotations, invoices, the issue of Access Credentials and the delivery of data do not create a licence, unless a document signed for the Administrator says so. Clause 22.10 applies to paid API access ordered without a signed Licence Agreement.

17.5 Register of Licensees. We record every Licensee in our register of Licensees. The register is not published.

17.6 Who may sign. Only a person whom the Administrator has authorised to sign for it may sign a Licence Agreement for the Administrator. While the Registered Marks are recorded in the name of CS&P SA, a Licence Agreement that licenses the Registered Marks is also signed by CS&P SA.

17.7 No endorsement of Licensees. A Licence Agreement does not mean that we endorse, recommend, approve or certify the Licensee, its products, its strategies or its services, unless the Licence Agreement says so expressly. Licensees remain solely responsible for complying with the laws, regulations, licensing requirements, securities laws and disclosure obligations that apply to them in every jurisdiction in which they operate. Licensees must not state or suggest that we sponsor, issue, sell or promote their products.

17.8 Apply before launch. If you plan a product or service that will use the Index, apply for a licence before you launch it. Use without a licence is a breach of these Terms and may infringe our Intellectual Property Rights.

18. Attribution

18.1 One format. The Attribution Notice in this clause is the only attribution format for the Index. It applies to:

(a) the CC Licence;

(b) the Extra Permission;

(d) Licence Agreements;

(e) the notices we supply with the Data Files and API responses;

(f) the output of the get_citation tool of the MCP Server; and

(g) the Methodology Manual and other Documents.

18.2 The Attribution Notice. The Attribution Notice is:

Source: CCi30 Cryptocurrency Index, CSP DAO LLC, https://cci30.com, retrieved date. Licence: licence basis.

where:

(a) date is the date on which you retrieved the Index Data, written as day, month name and year (for example, 10 October 2026); and

(b) licence basis is "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0" for CC-Licensed Material (linked to https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ where the medium supports links), "Extra Permission, cci30.com/terms" for Derived Material under clause 14, or "used under licence" for a Licensee. For a factual reference under clause 15 that does not reproduce CC-Licensed Material, omit the word "Licence:" and the licence basis.

18.3 Derived Material. For Derived Material, add after the Attribution Notice:

Calculations by your name or organisation. Not reviewed or endorsed by CSP DAO LLC.

18.4 Limited space. Where the medium cannot carry the full Attribution Notice (for example, the axis label of a small chart, or a post with a character limit), you may use "Source: CCi30 Cryptocurrency Index, cci30.com", and give the full notice in the nearest caption, description, accompanying post or linked page where that is reasonably practicable. This is the same notice with elements left out, which Section 3(a)(2) of the CC Licence allows when it is reasonable for the medium.

18.5 Reference lists. In a reference list or bibliography, you may arrange the same elements in the citation style that the publication requires. Schedule 1, part 2 gives examples in APA and BibTeX styles.

18.6 Placement. Place the Attribution Notice where a reader will see it with the Index Data: next to the data, in the source line or caption of a chart or table, or in a footnote. Where the medium supports links, the link to https://cci30.com must be active.

18.7 What you must not do. You must not change the wording of the Attribution Notice except as clauses 18.2 to 18.5 allow, use it in a way that suggests endorsement, use the CCi30 logo as part of it, or use it to attribute Third-Party Data to us.

18.8 Removal on request. If we ask you to remove the Attribution Notice from material you have shared, you must remove it to the extent reasonably practicable. Section 3(a)(3) of the CC Licence gives us this right for CC-Licensed Material.

18.9 Trade mark symbol. You do not need to add the symbol "®" in the Attribution Notice or in a factual reference.

19. Trade marks

19.1 The Marks. The "Marks" are:

(a) the word mark CCI30, registered in the United States under Registration No. 5,640,753, in class 35;

(b) the word mark CCI30, registered as European Union trade mark No. 017282351, in class 36, and registered in the United Kingdom under No. UK00917282351; and

(c) the names "CCi30" and "CCi30 Cryptocurrency Index", the CCi30 logo, and every other name, logo and get-up used to identify the Index, registered or not.

19.2 Owner of record and the Administrator's rights. At the date of these Terms, the Registered Marks are recorded in the name of CS&P SA, Panama, at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the European Union Intellectual Property Office and the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office. The Administrator uses the Marks under the authority of CS&P SA.

19.3 The CCi30 logo. The CCi30 logo is one of the Marks (clause 19.1(c)). A factual reference uses the name in plain text, without the logo (clause 19.4), and the Attribution Notice must not include the logo (clause 18.7). Any use of the logo in your own material needs a Licence Agreement.

19.4 Factual references. You may use the name "CCi30" or "CCi30 Cryptocurrency Index" in plain text to refer to the Index in a factual reference under clause 15, without the logo and without any styling that suggests a connection with us.

19.5 Uses that need a licence. Without a Licence Agreement, you must not use any Mark:

(a) as the name, or part of the name, of any financial product or service;

(b) in the name of a company, partnership or other business;

(d) in advertising or promotional material;

(e) as a brand or feature name on a website, in software, in an application or on a platform;

(f) in a way likely to cause confusion, or to suggest endorsement, sponsorship, certification, partnership or affiliation;

(g) in a modified form, or combined with another mark, name or logo; or

(h) in any application to register a trade mark, company name or domain name that is the same as or similar to a Mark.

19.6 Goodwill. All use of the Marks by Licensees, and all goodwill arising from it, is for the benefit of the owner of the Marks.

19.7 The "®" symbol. We use the symbol "®" with the name CCi30 on the Website. Licensees use it as their Licence Agreements require.

19.8 Third-party marks. Names of cryptocurrencies, exchanges, data providers, index providers and other companies that appear on the Website are the trade marks of their owners. We use them only to identify those assets, companies and products. Their use does not mean that the owners endorse, sponsor or approve the Index or us, or that we have any relationship with them.

19.9 Comparison pages. The Website compares the Index with indices published by others. Those pages give our own description of each index at the time of writing. They are not made on behalf of, or approved by, the other index providers. If you believe a statement about your index is wrong, write to info@cci30.com and we will review it.

20. Documents, software and other Website content

20.1 Documents. You may read, download and print the Documents for personal use and Non-Commercial research, and quote reasonable extracts with the Attribution Notice. You may summarise the Methodology Manual accurately. Without a Licence Agreement you may not republish a Document or a substantial part of it, publish a modified version, or distribute a translation.

20.2 Academic citation. You may cite the Documents in academic and professional work under normal scholarly practice.

20.3 Software. The software behind the Website and the Data Services, including the Index engine, scripts and Website tools, is protected by copyright, and all rights in it are reserved. You must not copy, modify, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer it, except as the law allows despite this restriction. Open-source components used on the Website remain under their own licences, and nothing in these Terms restricts the rights those licences give.

20.4 Machine-readable summaries. We publish llms.txt, llms-full.txt and structured data to help software and AI systems describe the Index accurately. The licence position of their content is the same as that of the content they summarise. They describe these Terms and do not change them (clause 4.2).

Part D. Data Services

21. Data Files and public feeds

21.1 Data Files. We publish Data Files on the Website free of charge, including:

(a) the daily OHLCV values file (daily open, high, low, close and volume of the Index since 1 January 2015), at https://cci30.com/ajax/getIndexHistory.php, which downloads as cci30_OHLCV.csv. The open, high, low and close are rounded to six significant figures. The volume is in whole US dollars; it is 0 for every day from 1 January 2015 to 28 February 2018, and no volume is recorded for 30 November 2020, 23 and 24 March 2023, 1 January 2025 and 1 July 2025;

(b) the quarterly constituents file (Constituents at every quarterly reconstitution), at https://cci30.com/ajax/getQuarterlyComponentHistoryProd.php, which downloads as cci30_components.csv;

(c) the monthly weights file (Constituent weights at every monthly rebalancing), at https://cci30.com/ajax/getMonthlyPropWeightHistoryProd.php, which downloads as cci30_monthly_weights.csv;

(d) the chart feeds that supply the charts on the Website, including https://cci30.com/ajax/getDataForIndexChart.php, which downloads as cci30_chart_feed.csv, and the live data feed of the homepage at https://cci30.com/ajax/getConstituentsDivProd.php, served as JSON; and

(e) llms.txt, llms-full.txt and the structured data embedded in Website pages.

21.2 Licence position of each Data File. The Official End-of-Day Values in the daily OHLCV values file are CC-Licensed Material (clause 13.2). The volume column of that file is not CC-Licensed Material (clause 13.2(b)), and neither are the files in clause 21.1(b) and (c) (clause 13.2(c)). The chart feeds carry daily values in their daily view and Indicative Values in their intraday views; the live data feed carries Indicative Values, live figures and Constituent prices and market capitalisations. The Indicative Values, live figures and Third-Party Data in these feeds are not CC-Licensed Material, and clause 21.4 governs the use of the feeds. The files in clause 21.1(e) follow clause 20.4.

21.3 Automated downloads. You may download Data Files with automated tools at a reasonable rate, which means no more than one request per Data File every 10 minutes. Files that carry daily values change only a few times each day, after the Provisional Values and the Official End-of-Day Values are published. We ask you to identify your tool in the User-Agent header, with a contact e-mail address.

21.4 Live feeds. You must not embed, proxy, mirror or rebroadcast the chart feeds or any other feed of Indicative Values in another website, application or service. These feeds are provided only for the Website.

21.5 Changes to Data Files. We may change the format, columns, file names or addresses of Data Files. For a change that may break automated processing, we will publish a notice on the Website at least 30 days in advance where practicable.

21.6 Notices in Data Files. If a Data File, or the page from which it is downloaded, carries a notice under Schedule 1, part 3, keep that notice when you share the Data File or its contents.

22. The API

22.1 What the API provides. The API gives programmatic access to Index Data over HTTPS. Index Data available through the API falls into two entitlement tiers:

(a) End-of-day tier: Official End-of-Day Values and the current Constituents and weights, for Non-Commercial use under the CC Licence, the Extra Permission and these Terms, or for Commercial Use under a Licence Agreement; and

(b) Real-time tier: Indicative Values, only under a Licence Agreement or a paid order under clause 22.10.

At the date of these Terms, the endpoints of the API are those named in the definition of "API" in clause 2.1.

22.2 Access Credentials. Access to the API needs Access Credentials issued to a named counterparty, which may be an individual or an organisation. To obtain them you must give accurate and complete details and keep them up to date, and you must accept these Terms by an express click or signature. At the date of these Terms, the API authenticates each request by the registered e-mail address and an access token, sent as the form fields "user_email" and "user_token" in the body of an HTTP POST request.

22.3 Keeping Access Credentials secure. You must:

(a) keep your Access Credentials confidential and use them only for the counterparty to which they were issued;

(b) not share, sell, lend or publish them, and not place them in client-side code, public code repositories, shared documents or URLs;

(d) tell us at once, at info@cci30.com, if you believe that your Access Credentials have been disclosed or misused; and

(e) accept that you are responsible for all use of the API made with your Access Credentials until you have told us under paragraph (d).

22.4 Requests for your access token. We will never ask you to send your access token by e-mail, chat or telephone. If you receive such a request, do not reply, and tell us at info@cci30.com.

22.5 Revocation and reissue. We may revoke Access Credentials and issue new ones at any time, for example after a suspected disclosure or a change to the API. We will tell you before we do so where that is practicable.

22.6 Use limits. You must keep within any request limits that we state to you in writing or that your Licence Agreement sets. Clause 24 also applies.

22.7 Changes and deprecation. We may change the API. We will give holders of Access Credentials at least 90 days' notice by e-mail before we withdraw an endpoint or version, or change it in a way that may break existing integrations, unless a shorter period is needed for security or legal reasons.

22.8 No service levels. Unless a Licence Agreement states service levels, we do not promise that the API will be available, fast or free of errors.

22.9 Using API data. You may use Index Data received through the API only as allowed for the tier you have and under your Licence Agreement, if any. Index Data received through the End-of-day tier may be used under the CC Licence and the Extra Permission like any other Official End-of-Day Values. The Attribution Notice applies.

22.10 Paid access without a signed Licence Agreement. If we accept an order for paid API access without a signed Licence Agreement, these terms apply to it in addition to the rest of these Terms:

(a) Fees. You pay the fees stated in the order or quotation, in US dollars, in advance, within 30 days of the invoice date;

(b) Taxes. Fees exclude taxes. You pay any sales, use, value added or similar taxes, other than taxes on our income;

(c) Term. The order runs for 12 months and renews for further periods of the same length unless either party gives notice at least 30 days before the end of the current period;

(d) Permitted use. You may use the Index Data only for the use stated in the order. If the order does not state a Commercial Use, no Commercial Use is permitted;

(e) Refunds. Fees are not refundable, except where the law requires a refund or where we end your access under clause 25.1(g) or for a reason that is not your fault, in which case we refund the fees for the unused part of the period; and

(f) Late payment. If you do not pay on time, we may suspend access under clause 25.1(d).

23. The MCP Server

23.1 What the MCP Server provides. The MCP Server lets AI assistants and other software retrieve Index Data and information about the Index by the Model Context Protocol. It accepts JSON-RPC 2.0 requests by HTTP POST at https://cci30.com/mcp.

23.2 Open tools and licensed tools. At the date of these Terms:

(a) the following tools are open and need no Access Credentials: get_index_history, get_index_performance, get_composition_history, get_constituents, get_weights, get_statistics, get_reconstitution_calendar, get_methodology, get_index_identification, get_definitions and get_citation; and

(b) the following tool is a licensed tool, which you may use only under a Licence Agreement and, when we require them, with Access Credentials issued under it: get_index_value.

We may move a tool between these groups, add tools or withdraw tools. The tool list returned by the MCP Server shows the current position.

23.3 Sending Access Credentials. Send Access Credentials for the MCP Server in the "Authorization: Bearer" request header or the "X-API-Key" request header. Do not send them in the address (URL) of the request.

23.4 Request limits. At the date of these Terms, the MCP Server accepts from each client IP address no more than 10 requests in a rolling 10-second period and no more than 60 requests in a rolling 60-second period. The MCP Server estimates each rolling period from the current and the previous fixed period, so a client near a limit may be refused slightly early or slightly late. Requests above these limits receive the HTTP status 429 with the header "Retry-After: 60". We may change these limits.

23.5 Records of use. The MCP Server keeps short-lived records of requests for rate limiting and a daily count of requests for each tool and each Access Credential (requests without Access Credentials are counted together), kept for 60 days. The Privacy Policy describes these records.

23.6 AI systems. If you connect an AI system to the MCP Server:

(a) you are responsible for how the AI system uses the MCP Server and the Index Data it retrieves, as if you had made each request yourself;

(b) Index Data that the AI system shows to other people is subject to these Terms, and the AI system should show the Attribution Notice (clause 18.2) when it reproduces Index Data;

(c) statements that an AI system makes about the Index may be wrong; only the Index Data in the Data Services is published by us; and

(d) making Index Data available to the users of a commercial AI product or service is Commercial Use (clause 16.2(g)).

23.7 Tool outputs. Outputs of the MCP Server, including the licence summary returned by get_citation, describe these Terms and do not change them (clause 4.2).

24. Request limits, fair use and automated access

24.1 Limits apply to every channel. The Website and every Data Service may be subject to request limits. The limits are those stated in these Terms, in the documentation of the Data Service, in the responses of the Data Service, or in your Licence Agreement.

24.2 No circumvention. You must not exceed a request limit, or try to get around it, for example by using several IP addresses, rotating proxies, false or altered request headers (such as "X-Forwarded-For"), several sets of Access Credentials or several accounts. When you receive the HTTP status 429, wait for the period in the "Retry-After" header before you send another request, and reduce your request rate.

24.3 Scraping. You must not:

(a) extract Index Data from the HTML pages of the Website by automated means when a Data File or Data Service provides that Index Data;

(b) collect Indicative Values from the Website pages or the chart feeds by automated means; or

24.4 Caching. Store the Index Data you download and reuse it, instead of requesting the same Index Data again. Indicative Values change about every 10 seconds. Official End-of-Day Values change once a day, unless they are corrected.

24.5 Protecting the service. We may block, slow or refuse traffic that harms the Website or a Data Service or the experience of other Users, whether or not a stated limit has been exceeded.

25. Suspension and termination of access

25.1 When we may suspend or end access. We may suspend or end your access to the Website or any Data Service, or revoke your Access Credentials, if:

(a) you breach these Terms or a Licence Agreement;

(b) you exceed a request limit or try to get around it;

(d) you do not pay fees when due;

(e) a law, a court order, a regulator or sanctions require it;

(f) the terms of a Third-Party Provider require it; or

(g) we stop providing the Data Service concerned.

25.2 Notice. Where it is practicable and lawful, we will tell you by e-mail before we act and give our reasons. For paragraphs (a), (b) and (d) of clause 25.1, we will give you 10 days to remedy the matter, unless immediate action is needed to protect the Website, a Data Service, other Users or our rights.

25.3 Your right to stop. You may stop using the Website and the Data Services at any time. To close your Access Credentials, write to info@cci30.com.

25.4 Effect of suspension or termination. When your access ends:

(a) your rights under these Terms to use the Data Service concerned end;

(b) your rights under the CC Licence in CC-Licensed Material you have already received continue, unless they end under Section 6 of the CC Licence;

(c) you must delete Indicative Values received through the Real-time tier, unless your Licence Agreement allows you to keep them; and

(d) rights and obligations that arose before the end continue.

25.5 Fees after termination. If we end paid access for a reason that is not your fault, we refund the fees for the unused part of the paid period.

Part E. Conduct, advice, risk and liability

26. Acceptable use

26.1 Rules of use. You must not use the Website, the Index, Index Data, a Data Service, a Document or a Mark to do any of the following, or help anyone else do it:

(a) break any law or regulation, including laws on securities, market abuse, sanctions, data protection and intellectual property;

(b) mislead anyone about the Index or about us, including by presenting an Indicative Value, a Provisional Value or a value superseded by a correction or Restatement as an Official Close;

(c) manipulate or try to manipulate the Index, the price or market capitalisation of any Constituent or any market, including by trading, by quoting or by giving false data to a Third-Party Provider in order to affect the Index;

(d) gain or try to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Website, its administration areas, our servers, databases, accounts or Access Credentials;

(e) probe, scan or test the security of the Website or a Data Service without our written permission;

(f) try passwords in bulk, reuse stolen credentials, or send automated requests to any login page;

(g) introduce malware, or overload, flood or disrupt the Website or a Data Service;

(h) get around any access control, CAPTCHA, request limit or licensed-tier restriction;

(i) pretend to be us, our staff or the people named in clause 3.5, or send messages that appear to come from an address at cci30.com;

(j) frame or mirror the Website;

(k) use the contact form to send unsolicited marketing, unlawful material or material that infringes anyone's rights; or

(l) remove or change any copyright notice, trade mark notice or Attribution Notice.

26.2 Reporting security problems. If you find a security problem in the Website or a Data Service, report it to info@cci30.com with enough detail for us to reproduce it, and give us a reasonable time to fix it before you disclose it to anyone else. We will not take legal action against a person who finds and reports a security problem in good faith, under this clause, without harming data or other Users.

27. No investment advice

27.1 No advice and no offer. Nothing on the Website, in Index Data, in a Document, in a Data Service, in our social media posts or in any communication from us is investment, financial, legal, tax or accounting advice. Nothing in them is a recommendation, solicitation or offer to buy, sell or hold any cryptocurrency, security, fund or other financial instrument, or to follow any investment strategy.

27.2 Inclusion is not a recommendation. The inclusion of a cryptocurrency in the Index, or its weight, is not a recommendation of that cryptocurrency or an opinion on its merits, legality, security or suitability. The exclusion or removal of a cryptocurrency is not an opinion that it lacks those qualities.

27.3 Our role. We do not act as your investment adviser, broker, dealer or fiduciary, and we owe you no fiduciary duty. We do not take your circumstances into account.

27.4 We do not issue products. We do not issue, sponsor, sell or promote any investment product. Products that use the Index under a Licence Agreement are issued by their Licensees, which are solely responsible for them.

27.5 Past performance. Past performance of the Index is not a reliable indicator of future results. Values from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2016 were calculated after the event (clause 5.2), and back-calculated values may not reflect how the Index would have performed had it been published at the time.

27.6 Get your own advice. Before you make any investment decision, consider your objectives, experience and the risk you are willing to take, and get advice from a qualified and independent adviser.

27.7 No offer where unlawful. Nothing on the Website is an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful.

28. Risk statement

28.1 Cryptocurrency risk. Cryptocurrencies are volatile and can lose some or all of their value quickly. The level of risk may not be suitable for every person. Only invest money that you can afford to lose.

28.2 Risks that affect the Index. The Index and Index Data can be affected by, among other things:

(a) failures, delays or errors of Third-Party Providers;

(b) denial-of-service attacks on us, on Third-Party Providers or on exchanges;

(d) hacking of exchanges, wallets or accounts;

(e) changes in the names, tickers or identifiers of cryptocurrencies;

(f) forks, network failures, halts and other events in blockchain networks;

(g) unexpected changes in the circulating supply of a cryptocurrency, which change Constituent weights;

(h) changes in laws and regulations in different countries, including restrictions on trading or withdrawals; and

(i) the classification of a cryptocurrency, for example as a stablecoin, by a Third-Party Provider.

28.3 Limits of replication. The Index does not deduct trading costs, spreads, fees, custody costs or taxes. A portfolio or product that tracks the Index will not match it exactly. The difference between the bid and ask prices of the Constituents limits how closely the Index can be replicated.

28.4 Not a full list. Clause 28 does not list every risk.

29. Disclaimer of warranties

29.1 Provided as is. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Website, the Index, Index Data, the Data Services, the Documents and the Marks are provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults.

29.2 No warranties. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Administrator Parties give no warranty, representation or condition of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, availability or results, and any warranty arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade.

29.3 In particular. Without limiting clause 29.2, the Administrator Parties do not warrant that:

(a) the Index will be calculated or published continuously, on time or without error;

(b) the methodology will not change;

(d) any error will be corrected; or

(e) the Website or the Data Services will be free of viruses or other harmful components.

29.4 No other warranties. No statement, information or advice from us, oral or written, creates a warranty that is not stated in these Terms or in a Licence Agreement.

29.5 Consumers. If you are a Consumer, clause 29 does not affect the rights that the law of your country of residence gives you and that cannot be excluded by contract.

30. Limitation of liability

30.1 Liability that is not limited. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for:

(a) death or personal injury caused by negligence;

(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

(d) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

30.2 Excluded losses. Subject to clause 30.1, the Administrator Parties are not liable to you for:

(a) any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive loss or damage;

(b) loss of profits, revenue, trading gains, investment value, opportunity, goodwill or data, or the cost of substitute data or services, whether direct or indirect;

(c) any loss arising from a decision to trade or invest, or not to trade or invest, made on the basis of the Index or Index Data;

(d) any loss suffered in connection with a product that uses or refers to the Index;

(e) any loss arising from an error, delay, interruption, withholding, correction or Restatement of Index Data, from a change in the methodology, or from the cessation of the Index;

(f) any loss arising from Third-Party Data; or

(g) any loss arising from a suspension or termination of access under clause 25.

30.3 Cap. Subject to clause 30.1, the total liability of all the Administrator Parties together, for all claims arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the Website, the Index, Index Data, the Data Services, the Documents and the Marks, in any period of 12 months, is limited to the greater of:

(a) USD 100; and

(b) the fees you paid to the Administrator for the Data Service that gave rise to the claim in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim.

30.4 All forms of claim. Clauses 30.2 and 30.3 apply whatever the legal basis of the claim, including contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, misrepresentation and strict liability, even if we were told that the loss was possible, and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

30.5 Licence Agreements. A Licence Agreement may set different limits of liability between its parties. For matters it covers, the Licence Agreement applies.

30.6 Investors in products. We have no liability to any investor in, or holder of, a product issued by a Licensee or by any other person that uses or refers to the Index.

30.7 Consumers. If you are a Consumer, clauses 30.2 and 30.3 apply only to the extent that the law of your country of residence permits.

30.8 Time limit for claims. These Terms do not shorten the time within which a claim may be brought. The limitation periods of the applicable law apply.

30.9 Benefit for the Administrator Parties. Clauses 29, 30 and 31 are for the benefit of every Administrator Party, and each of them may rely on those clauses.

31. Indemnity

31.1 Your indemnity. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator Parties against all claims by third parties, and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from them, to the extent they arise from:

(a) your breach of these Terms;

(b) your Commercial Use of the Index, Index Data, a Document or a Mark without a Licence Agreement;

(d) your breach of any law or of the rights of any third party; or

(e) any use of Access Credentials issued to you, other than use by us.

31.2 Procedure. We will tell you promptly of any claim for which we seek indemnity, let you control its defence with counsel reasonably acceptable to us, and give you reasonable help at your cost. You must not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by, or imposes an obligation on, an Administrator Party without our written consent.

31.3 Consumers. If you are a Consumer, clause 31 applies only to the extent that the law of your country of residence permits.

32. Events outside our control

32.1 No liability for such events. We are not liable for any delay in, or failure of, the calculation or publication of the Index or the performance of any obligation under these Terms caused by an event outside our reasonable control. Examples are a failure, suspension or change of terms of a Third-Party Provider; the halt or closure of an exchange; a fork, failure or halt of a blockchain network; a market disruption; a cyber attack; a failure of the internet, of hosting or of power; fire, flood, storm or other natural event; war, terrorism, civil unrest or epidemic; an act of government or a change in law; or a strike.

32.2 Index rules apply. If such an event affects the inputs to the Index, the rules for stress events and expert judgement in the Methodology Manual apply.

Part F. Privacy, complaints, notices and general terms

33. Privacy

33.1 Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains what Personal Data we collect, why, on what legal basis, for how long, who receives it and what rights you have. It applies to Personal Data collected through the Website and the Data Services, including:

(a) messages sent through the contact form, and the details you give in them, including the copy of a message that we keep on our server when our mail server does not accept it (clause 35);

(b) the e-mail address and Access Credentials of holders of Access Credentials;

(d) data collected by Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA.

33.2 Google reCAPTCHA. The contact form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA. Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and Terms of Service (https://policies.google.com/terms) apply to it.

33.3 What not to send. Do not send us Personal Data about other people unless you are entitled to, and do not send sensitive Personal Data (for example about health) through the contact form.

34. Complaints

34.1 How to complain. You may complain about the Index (for example about the methodology, a published value or a determination) or about our conduct as Administrator. Send your complaint in writing to info@cci30.com with the word "Complaint" in the subject line.

34.2 How we handle complaints. We will:

(a) acknowledge your complaint within 5 Index Business Days;

(b) investigate it through a person who was not involved in the matter complained of, where practicable; and

(c) reply in writing with our findings and the reasons for them within 30 days of receiving it, or tell you within that period why we need more time and when we expect to reply.

34.3 Records. We keep records of complaints and of how we handled them for at least 5 years.

34.4 Effect on published values. A complaint does not suspend the use of a published value. If a complaint shows an error, we correct it under clauses 7 and 8.

34.5 Your other rights. This complaints process does not affect any other right you have.

35. Notices and contact

35.1 Contact details. You can contact the Administrator:

(a) by e-mail at info@cci30.com;

(b) through the contact form in the contact section of the Website's homepage (https://cci30.com/#auncor-4), which keeps a copy of your message on our server if e-mail delivery fails; or

35.2 Legal notices to us. A notice of a claim, a notice of breach, a notice under a Licence Agreement or a notice of infringement must be sent by e-mail to info@cci30.com with the words "Legal notice" in the subject line, and a copy by post or courier to CSP DAO LLC, c/o Registered Agents Inc, 30 N Gould St, Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States. An e-mail notice takes effect when we confirm receipt in writing, or 2 Index Business Days after it was sent if we have not confirmed receipt by then and the sender has received no message that it was not delivered.

35.3 Notices to you. We may give you notice:

(a) by e-mail to the address you gave us, if you hold Access Credentials, have placed an order or are a Licensee; or

(b) by publishing it on the Website, in every other case.

An e-mail notice takes effect 24 hours after we send it, unless we receive a message that it was not delivered. A notice published on the Website takes effect when it is published, or on any later date it states.

35.4 Genuine messages from us. We send notices under clause 35.3(a) only from addresses ending in "@cci30.com". If you receive a notice that claims to come from us from any other address, or any message that asks for your Access Credentials, do not act on it and tell us at info@cci30.com.

36. Changes to these Terms

36.1 We may change these Terms. We may change these Terms. We will publish the new version on the Website with a new "Last updated" date. We keep previous versions and provide them on request.

36.2 Notice of material changes. For a change that materially reduces your rights or increases your obligations:

(a) if you hold Access Credentials, have placed an order or are a Licensee, we will tell you by e-mail at least 30 days before the change takes effect; and

(b) for all other Users, the change takes effect 14 days after publication.

A shorter period may apply where a change is needed for legal, regulatory or security reasons.

36.3 Acceptance of changes. If you continue to use the Website or a Data Service after a change takes effect, you accept the changed Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Website and the Data Services, and close your Access Credentials under clause 25.3. If you have paid in advance and a change materially reduces your rights, you may end your order and receive a refund of the fees for the unused part of the period.

36.4 What a change does not affect. A change to these Terms:

(a) does not apply to a dispute that arose before the change took effect;

(b) does not withdraw or narrow any grant already made under the CC Licence; and

36.5 Licence Agreements. A Licence Agreement can be changed only in writing signed for both parties.

37. Governing law and venue

37.1 Governing law. These Terms, and any dispute or claim (including any non-contractual dispute or claim) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter, are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict of laws rules that would apply the law of another jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

37.2 Courts. Subject to clauses 37.3 and 37.4, any such dispute or claim must be brought in the state courts sitting in Sheridan County, Wyoming, or in the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming, and those courts have exclusive jurisdiction over it. Each party submits to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waives any objection that they are an inconvenient forum.

37.3 Injunctions and enforcement of rights. We may seek an injunction or other urgent relief, or enforce our Intellectual Property Rights, in any court that has jurisdiction, including the courts of the place where an infringement occurs.

37.4 Consumers. If you are a Consumer, clause 37.1 does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence where that law allows it.

37.5 Jury trial. These Terms contain no waiver of any right to a trial by jury.

37.6 Class actions. These Terms contain no waiver of any right to bring or take part in class or representative proceedings.

37.7 The CC Licence. This clause 37 governs these Terms. It does not govern or change the CC Licence, which contains no choice of law.

38. General

38.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the documents referred to in them, are the entire agreement between you and us about their subject matter, and replace all earlier statements and agreements about it, including the documents listed in clause 1.6. This clause does not affect a Licence Agreement, the CC Licence or liability for fraud. You confirm that you have not relied on any statement that is not set out in these Terms.

38.2 Severability. If a court or other competent authority finds any provision of these Terms invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision is changed to the minimum extent needed to make it valid and enforceable, or, if that is not possible, removed. The rest of these Terms continue in force. If a limitation of liability in clause 30 is found unenforceable, our liability is limited to the greatest extent the law permits.

38.3 No waiver. A failure or delay in exercising a right or remedy is not a waiver of it. A single or partial exercise of a right or remedy does not prevent its further exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. A waiver is effective only if it is in writing, and it applies only to the circumstances for which it is given.

38.4 Assignment. You may not assign, transfer or sub-license your rights or obligations under these Terms, including your Access Credentials, without our written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to an Affiliate, to a successor administrator of the Index, or to a buyer of the business of administering the Index, by publishing a notice on the Website. Such a transfer does not reduce the rights you have as a Consumer.

38.5 Contractors. We may use contractors, such as hosting providers and data providers, to perform our obligations. We remain responsible for our obligations under these Terms.

38.6 Third-party rights. No one other than you and the Administrator has any right to enforce these Terms, except the Administrator Parties under clause 30.9, and CS&P SA, as owner of record of the Registered Marks, under clauses 10 and 19.

38.7 Relationship of the parties. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment or fiduciary relationship between you and us.

38.8 Survival. Clauses 2, 4, 8.5, 10, 13.6, 14.5, 16, 18, 19, 25.4, 27 to 32, 35, 37 and 38, and any other provision that by its nature should survive, continue after your use ends or these Terms end.

38.9 Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience only (clause 4.3).

38.10 Electronic communications. You agree to receive notices and other communications from us electronically. Electronic communications and records satisfy any requirement that a communication be in writing, except where these Terms require a signed document. A Licence Agreement may be signed electronically.

38.11 Sanctions. You confirm that you are not a person subject to sanctions administered by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom or the United Nations, and that you are not located in a country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions. You must not use the Website or a Data Service in breach of sanctions.

38.12 Remedies. Our rights and remedies under these Terms are in addition to those given by law. Because a breach of clauses 13 to 19 or 24 may cause harm for which damages are not an adequate remedy, we may seek an injunction or other equitable relief for such a breach.
