ALPHACANVAS AI & TECHNOLOGY DISCLAIMER

Effective Date: February 12, 2026 Last Updated: February 12, 2026

IMPORTANT: THIS DISCLAIMER GOVERNS YOUR USE OF ALL AI-POWERED AND TECHNOLOGY FEATURES ON THE ALPHACANVAS PLATFORM.

This AI & Technology Disclaimer is part of and incorporated into the Subscription Agreement. By using AI-powered features on the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to the terms of this Disclaimer.

1. WHAT IS ALPHACANVAS

1.1 Platform Description

AlphaCanvas, operated by 21Chains LLC, is a market intelligence, research, and analysis platform that enables users to use analytical tools, market data (which may be inaccurate, delayed, or incomplete), and large language models to:

• Conduct market research and analysis;
• Explore market scenarios and generate structured research briefs;
• Access and analyze aggregated market data across multiple timeframes and data types;
• Monitor market conditions, portfolio positions, and price levels through observational dashboards;
• And perform other research, analysis, and informational activities as determined and configured by the user.

1.2 What AlphaCanvas Is NOT

AlphaCanvas is NOT a tool that delivers financial advice, provides brokerage services, or executes trades.

21Chains LLC (d/b/a "AlphaCanvas"):

• Is NOT a registered broker-dealer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any state authority;
• Is NOT a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC);
• Is NOT a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or any state equivalent;
• Does NOT owe any fiduciary duty to users;
• Does NOT provide personalized investment advice, financial advice, tax advice, or legal advice;
• Does NOT execute, facilitate, route, or transmit trades or orders on your behalf;
• Does NOT custody, hold, or control user funds or securities;
• Does NOT guarantee any investment results, profits, or returns.

1.3 User Control and Responsibility

All research configurations, analytical parameters, scenario selections, and data queries are determined and configured by the user. The Platform provides tools for research and analysis -- it does not make investment decisions or recommendations. The user bears sole responsibility for:

• Choosing what assets, markets, or instruments to research;
• Configuring analytical parameters, scenario assumptions, and data queries;
• Deciding whether and how to act on any analysis, research output, or AI-generated content;
• Independently verifying all information obtained through the Platform;
• Understanding the risks involved in any investment or trading activity they undertake outside the Platform;
• All financial outcomes resulting from their investment and trading decisions.

2. AI AND LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL TECHNOLOGY

2.1 How AI Is Used on the Platform

The AlphaCanvas platform integrates third-party large language model ("LLM") technology into its multi-stage analytical workflow. AI is used across the Platform for purposes including:

• Stage 1 -- Natural Language Processing & Data Injection: Parsing user inputs, identifying relevant market data, and assembling data context for analysis.
• Stage 2 -- Prompt Engineering & Review: Generating structured analytical prompts based on user inputs and market data, optimizing prompt quality for downstream analysis.
• Stage 3 -- Analysis & Results: Producing market analysis, generating research insights, identifying patterns, and synthesizing findings from assembled data.
• Chat and Research Sessions: Interactive conversations about market conditions, strategy ideas, and analytical results via the Harold AI Research Assistant.
• Scenario Modeling: Generating potential market scenarios, probability assessments, and analytical frameworks based on market data and user-defined parameters (subject to user review and independent verification before any action).

2.2 Third-Party AI Providers

AI features on the Platform are powered by third-party LLM providers. Users provide their own API keys (BYOK model) to access these services. Current supported providers include:

When you use AI-powered features, your inputs (including text prompts and contextual market data) are transmitted to these third-party providers for processing. AlphaCanvas does not control how these providers process data beyond contractual commitments at the API tier. You should review each provider's terms and privacy policy.

2.3 AI Output Quality

AI-generated outputs are produced by statistical language models that predict likely text sequences based on training data. They are NOT the product of human expert analysis, financial research, or investment advisory services. The Company makes no representation or warranty regarding the quality, accuracy, reliability, completeness, or fitness for any purpose of any AI-generated output.

3. LIMITATIONS OF AI-GENERATED CONTENT

3.1 Not Financial Advice

No AI-generated content on the Platform constitutes financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument. AI outputs are analytical tools for informational and educational purposes only. They do not take into account your individual financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, tax circumstances, or any other personal factors.

3.2 Scenario Modeling Is Not Prediction

AI-generated scenario models, probability estimates, and analytical frameworks are hypothetical explorations of potential market outcomes based on historical data and mathematical models. They are NOT predictions, forecasts, or representations of likely outcomes. Scenario models:

• Explore what could happen, not what will happen;
• Are inherently limited by the data and assumptions on which they are based;
• May omit scenarios that actually occur;
• Should never be interpreted as investment recommendations or trading signals;
• Are provided solely for informational and educational purposes to support your own independent research process.

3.3 Potential for Errors and Hallucinations

AI models may produce outputs that are:

• Factually incorrect -- stating false information with apparent confidence
• Fabricated -- referencing events, data points, companies, or market conditions that do not exist ("hallucinations")
• Misleading -- presenting incomplete analysis that omits critical risks or considerations
• Inconsistent -- producing different or contradictory analysis for the same data at different times
• Outdated -- based on training data that does not reflect current market conditions, regulatory changes, or recent events
• Biased -- reflecting biases present in training data, potentially skewing analysis toward or against certain assets, sectors, or strategies

3.4 No Predictive Power

AI models cannot predict future market movements. Any forward-looking statements, price targets, probability estimates, confidence scores, or directional assessments generated by AI features are based entirely on:

• Statistical patterns in historical data that may not recur;
• Correlations that may break down in future market conditions;
• Model assumptions that may not hold in practice;
• Training data that may be incomplete, biased, or unrepresentative of future conditions.

Past performance of AI models, backtested scenarios, or historical analysis does not indicate or guarantee future results.

3.5 Context and Interpretation Limitations

AI models may:

• Misinterpret the intent or context of your prompts;
• Provide analysis that is technically correct but irrelevant to your actual needs;
• Fail to identify or communicate critical risks;
• Overweight recent data or well-known patterns while ignoring less obvious factors;
• Generate overly confident assessments of uncertain situations;
• Fail to adequately communicate the uncertainty inherent in any market analysis.

3.6 Model Changes

Third-party AI providers regularly update, modify, or replace their models. Model updates may change the quality, behavior, tone, or accuracy of AI outputs without notice to you or to AlphaCanvas. An analytical approach or scenario model that produced useful results with one model version may produce different or less useful results with an updated version.

4. MARKET DATA TECHNOLOGY

4.1 Data Sources and Processing

Market data on the Platform is sourced from third-party providers, processed through the Company's Data Injection Engine, and presented through various analytical tools. Each step in this process introduces potential for errors:

• Collection: Data may be delayed, missing, or incorrect at the source.
• Processing: Data transformation, indicator calculation, and storage may introduce computational errors, rounding differences, or timing discrepancies.
• Presentation: Data displayed on the Platform may not match data available from other sources due to processing differences, timestamp handling, or display formatting.

4.2 Technical Indicator Calculations

Technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, moving averages, etc.) are calculated using standard mathematical formulas applied to historical data. These calculations:

• May differ from calculations on other platforms due to parameter choices, data sources, or implementation details;
• Are based on historical data and are not predictive of future price movements;
• May produce misleading signals in unusual market conditions;
• Should not be the sole basis for any investment or trading decision.

4.3 Options Data

Options chain data, including pricing, Greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega, rho), implied volatility, and theoretical values, is derived from mathematical models (such as Black-Scholes or binomial models) that rely on assumptions about market behavior. These assumptions may not hold in practice, and model-derived values may differ significantly from actual market conditions.

5. DATA INJECTION ENGINE

5.1 Description

The Data Injection Engine ("DIE") is a proprietary technology that enables structured queries of market data across multiple timeframes, data types, and modes. Users and AI workflows use the DIE to assemble data context for analysis.

5.2 Limitations

• DIE queries return data that is only as accurate and complete as the underlying data sources;
• Query results may be affected by data gaps, collection delays, or processing errors;
• The "smart" mode applies token optimization that may exclude data points relevant to your analysis;
• Timeframe aggregations may mask significant intra-period price movements;
• DIE outputs should be validated against independent data sources for critical decisions.

6. MONITORING WORKSPACE (TRADE CANVAS)

6.1 Description

The Trade Canvas is an observational monitoring workspace that provides:

• Portfolio and position tracking dashboards;
• Market price displays and watchlists;
• Analytical observations about market conditions, price levels, and portfolio metrics;
• Data summaries and performance calculations.

6.2 Not a Trading Platform

The Trade Canvas is NOT a trading platform, order management system, or execution engine. It does not place, transmit, route, modify, or cancel trades or orders. It does not connect to brokerage accounts for trade execution purposes. Any trading or investment actions you take based on information displayed in the Trade Canvas are taken independently, outside the Platform, through your own brokerage accounts and at your own discretion.

6.3 Analytical Observations

Analytical observations displayed in the Trade Canvas (such as market condition summaries, price level annotations, or portfolio metric calculations) are factual data summaries and computational outputs, not trading recommendations, buy/sell signals, or investment advice. These observations:

• Are derived from market data that may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate;
• Do not account for your individual financial situation, risk tolerance, or investment objectives;
• Should not be interpreted as recommendations to take any specific action;
• Are provided for informational purposes only.

7. YOUR OBLIGATIONS

7.1 Independent Verification

You must independently verify any information, analysis, or AI output obtained through the Platform before relying on it for investment, trading, or other financial decisions. Sources for independent verification include your broker's own data feeds, official exchange data, SEC/EDGAR filings, and licensed financial data providers.

7.2 Professional Consultation

You should consult with a qualified, licensed financial professional (such as a registered investment adviser, financial planner, tax adviser, or attorney) before making investment or trading decisions, particularly when:

• Making significant financial commitments;
• Evaluating complex instruments (options, futures, derivatives);
• Making tax-sensitive transactions;
• Investing in unfamiliar markets or asset classes.

7.3 Critical Evaluation of AI Output

You are responsible for critically evaluating all AI-generated content, including:

• Verifying factual claims against independent sources;
• Recognizing that scenario models are hypothetical, not predictive;
• Understanding that AI confidence scores and probability estimates are model artifacts, not objective measures of likelihood;
• Seeking multiple perspectives and not relying solely on any single AI output;
• Applying your own judgment and expertise to all research output.

7.4 Risk Awareness

You are responsible for understanding the risks associated with any investment or trading activity you undertake based on your own independent decision-making. The Platform provides research tools -- it does not manage your risk. You should implement appropriate risk management controls in your own investment activities, including position sizing, diversification, and capital allocation limits.
