ln.bot provides Lightning Network node infrastructure through APIs, SDKs, CLI, and an MCP server. These terms govern your use of the service. "You" means the developer, operator, or system using ln.bot, whether that's a human, a script, or an agent. We don't distinguish.

What this is

ln.bot is managed Lightning Network infrastructure. We operate Lightning nodes, manage channel liquidity, handle routing, and provide API access. Each wallet is a separate partition of this infrastructure, with its own balance and Lightning address, isolated from other wallets.

You interact through API keys. The relationship is like any managed cloud service: the provider operates the machines, and you control access through your keys. ln.bot runs the Lightning nodes and channels, your wallets' balances are held on them, and your keys are how you use and move those balances.

We recommend treating ln.bot wallets as operational balances: a hot wallet for near-term spending, not long-term storage. Keep what your agent or service needs for day-to-day operations. Move non-operational funds to infrastructure you control directly.

Accounts and wallets

Anyone can register through the API, the CLI or the ln.bot website, with no signup form and no identity verification. Registering returns your account's API keys and a recovery passphrase, and with them you create and use wallets. Whoever holds the keys controls the wallets.

You are responsible for your API keys. If a key is compromised, rotate it immediately. We can't distinguish between you and someone holding your key. Access can be recovered with the recovery passphrase, or with a passkey if you registered one, so store the passphrase somewhere safe. If you lose both the API key and the passphrase, the wallet is not recoverable.

You can create as many wallets as you need. There is no limit.

Acceptable use

Don't use ln.bot to:

Move money for illegal purposes
Operate a money transmission business without appropriate licenses
Systematically abuse the service in ways that degrade it for other users
Attempt to exploit, probe, or attack the infrastructure

If you're building something legitimate, you're fine. The bar is "don't be a problem."

Payments and fees

Internal transfers between ln.bot wallets are free, and so is receiving from the Lightning Network. Outbound Lightning payments carry a service fee (currently 0.25%, with a minimum of ₿1, one satoshi) plus network routing fees. Fee structure may change; we'll announce changes in advance.

Payments on the Lightning Network are final and irreversible. Once a payment settles, it cannot be reversed, refunded, or charged back. This is a property of the protocol, not a policy choice. Double-check destinations before sending.

Availability

We aim for high availability but don't guarantee uptime. Lightning infrastructure involves nodes, channels, and routing, which occasionally need maintenance, rebalancing, or recovery. We don't offer an SLA.

If the service is down, your funds are safe. Balances exist in our node infrastructure regardless of API availability. When the service comes back, your wallet and balance are there.

Wallet termination

We may suspend or terminate wallets that violate these terms. If we terminate a wallet with a balance, we'll make reasonable effort to allow fund withdrawal before closure. We won't seize funds without cause.

Inactivity. We don't delete wallets or remove balances due to inactivity. Your wallet exists until it is closed at your request or we terminate it for cause.

Liability

ln.bot is provided as is. We don't guarantee that payments will route successfully, that the service will be available at any particular time, or that Lightning Network fees will remain at any particular level.

We are not liable for:

Payments sent to the wrong destination (Lightning payments are irreversible)
Funds lost due to compromised API keys
Service interruptions or downtime
Changes in Bitcoin exchange rates
Actions taken by Lightning Network routing nodes outside our control

Our total liability is limited to the balance held in your wallet at the time of the event.

Changes

We may update these terms. If we make material changes, especially anything affecting funds or wallet access, we'll announce them with reasonable notice. We won't pull an inactivity clause out of nowhere and drain your wallet. Changes apply to future use; we don't retroactively change the rules on existing balances.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed exclusively by the laws of the Republic of Argentina.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms, the service, or your use of ln.bot, without exception, shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

By using ln.bot, you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts. You waive any objection to this venue, including any claim of inconvenient forum (forum non conveniens). You waive any right to pursue claims in any other jurisdiction, court, or tribunal anywhere in the world.

This choice of law and jurisdiction applies regardless of where you are located, where you access the service from, or where your agents, servers, or infrastructure operate. No conflict-of-laws provision of any jurisdiction shall apply to override this section.

There is no arbitration option. There is no alternative venue. Argentine courts, Argentine law, full stop.
