Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: 13. September 2026
Version 2.4.0
1. Purpose of Policy
This Acceptable Use Policy outlines the strict rules regarding the usage of Sentens's APIs, trading engines, and infrastructure. Our platform is designed for legitimate, institutional-grade algorithmic trading. Any usage that degrades system performance, exploits vulnerabilities, or violates market integrity is strictly forbidden.
2. Prohibited Algorithmic Behavior
You may not use our infrastructure to engage in any of the following market manipulation tactics or abusive behaviors:
- Spoofing or Layering: Placing orders with the intent to cancel them before execution to create a false impression of market depth.
- Wash Trading: Entering into transactions that do not result in a change of beneficial ownership to artificially inflate volume.
- Quote Stuffing: Submitting an excessive number of orders and rapid cancellations to congest the platform and gain a latency advantage.
- API Abuse: Exceeding specified API rate limits, running inefficient polling scripts that degrade backend performance, or attempting to bypass rate limiters.
3. Enforcement and Suspension
Sentens employs automated surveillance systems to detect abusive behavior. Violation of this Acceptable Use Policy will result in immediate API key revocation, account suspension, freezing of assets pending investigation, and potential reporting to relevant regulatory authorities. We reserve the right to impose punitive fees for severe infrastructure abuse.
