Terms of service

By creating an ORKA account, creating or joining a workspace, or using our services, you agree to these Terms of Service and any policies referenced here. If you use ORKA on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to accept these terms for that organisation.

If you do not agree, please do not use the service. These terms apply to the ORKA website, workspace, client portal, and related features.

Keep your account details accurate and your sign-in method secure. You are responsible for activity under your account and for the people you invite to a workspace.

Workspace owners control access and should only grant permissions that are appropriate for the project. You must tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.

Use ORKA lawfully and in a way that respects other people and systems.

• Do not upload unlawful, deceptive, infringing, or harmful content.
• Do not attempt to bypass security, access another account, or disrupt the service.
• Do not use ORKA to facilitate fraud, money laundering, sanctions evasion, or other prohibited financial activity.
• Do not misrepresent project status, delivery evidence, payment status, or your authority to act for another party.

Clients and service providers are responsible for the scope, pricing, deliverables, approvals, and disputes in their own projects. ORKA provides tools to record and manage those workflows; it does not become a party to the agreement between a client and a provider.

Payment, escrow, currency conversion, or payout features may be subject to additional disclosures, verification requirements, limits, fees, and the terms of the providers that enable them. Only approve a payment or release when you have reviewed the relevant project information.

ORKA uses the Stellar network to facilitate on-chain escrow, milestone verification, and payment settlements. Transactions on the Stellar network are public, irreversible once confirmed, and subject to network fees determined by the Stellar consensus protocol.

You are responsible for selecting the correct network (testnet or mainnet), verifying transaction details before signing, and maintaining custody of your Stellar account keys, seed phrases, and any associated recovery mechanisms. ORKA cannot reverse, cancel, or modify a confirmed blockchain transaction.

Smart contracts deployed by ORKA on the Stellar network are provided “as is” without warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Users should review contract source code independently before committing funds.

ORKA may offer AI-assisted features — including suggestions for project descriptions, contract terms, scope breakdowns, and communications — to help you work more efficiently. These features are powered by third-party large language models and are provided as assistance only.

AI-generated output may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and approving any AI-generated content before using it in a project, proposal, contract, invoice, or other professional context. Do not rely on AI output as legal, financial, tax, or investment advice.

Prompts and context data submitted to AI features may be processed by third-party model providers. Do not submit sensitive personal information, trade secrets, or confidential data unless you are comfortable with such processing. ORKA does not use your workspace data to train or improve third-party models unless you explicitly opt in.

ORKA may connect with third-party services, including payment providers, email providers, AI tools, and blockchain or wallet software. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices.

If you choose a self-custody wallet, you are responsible for your wallet, private keys, recovery phrase, network selections, and every transaction you approve. ORKA cannot recover a lost wallet or reverse an irreversible blockchain transaction.

ORKA and its software, branding, and service materials are owned by ORKA or its licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service in accordance with these terms.

You retain rights in the content you submit to ORKA. You give us the permission needed to host, process, and display that content only to provide, secure, and improve the service.

We work to keep ORKA reliable, but the service may change, be interrupted, or contain errors. Features may be added, changed, paused, or removed as we develop the product.

ORKA is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the extent permitted by applicable law. AI-generated suggestions are assistance, not professional, financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Review important work, agreements, and payment decisions independently.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ORKA will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, business opportunity, or goodwill arising from use of the service.

Where liability cannot be excluded, it will be limited to the amount you paid to ORKA for the service during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

You may stop using ORKA at any time. We may suspend or end access if we reasonably believe these terms have been violated, the service is being used unlawfully, or doing so is necessary to protect users, the service, or third parties.

After termination, provisions that should reasonably continue—such as intellectual property, disclaimers, and limits of liability—will remain in effect.

We may update these terms as ORKA evolves. If a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to provide notice through the service or by another appropriate method. Continued use after the updated effective date means you accept the revised terms.
