• Capital Requirements: Minimum recommended capital for effective operation
• Asset/Market Scope: Clear indication of which assets or markets the Strategy trades
• Update Policy: How frequently the Strategy may be updated and for what reasons

Malicious Actions

• Publishing Strategies designed to cause losses for Strategy Users
• Intentionally manipulating Strategy performance metrics
• Embedding malicious code or harmful functionality

Modification Requirements

When modifying a published Strategy that has active Strategy Users, you must:

• Thoroughly test all changes before applying them to the live Strategy
• Consider the impact on Strategy Users' existing open positions
• Document the nature and rationale for the changes
• Ensure modifications do not fundamentally change the Strategy's risk profile without notice

Modification Acknowledgment

Each time you apply changes to a live Strategy, you acknowledge that:

Understanding the Impact

You expressly acknowledge and understand that:

• Your Strategy executes real trades on Strategy Users' connected exchange accounts using their actual capital
• Approved Strategy modifications take effect for all active Strategy Users
• Poorly designed or buggy Strategies can cause significant financial losses
• Strategy Users have open positions that may be affected by Strategy changes, including forced liquidations or unexpected trades

Position Management

You must consider the following when modifying Strategies with Strategy Users who have open positions:

• Changes to exit logic may cause unexpected position closures
• Changes to position sizing may affect risk exposure
• Changes to asset selection may leave orphaned positions
• Emergency changes should be communicated to Strategy Users when possible

Revenue Model

Publishers of Approved Creator Strategies earn in two ways: a share of the Strategy's one-time licensing fee, and a share of the advisory fee Amaltash earns on money invested in it. Both come from fees Strategy Users already pay. Users pay nothing extra.

• Licensing Fee Share: Publishers receive 70% of the one-time licensing fee collected in connection with their Strategy. Amaltash retains the remaining 30% for advisory oversight, technology, administration, compliance and related services.
• Advisory Fee Share: Publishers receive 70% of the asset-based advisory fee Amaltash actually collects on capital Strategy Users allocate to the Publisher's Strategies, accrued daily on deployed capital and credited to the Publisher's earnings balance once Amaltash confirms the fee has been collected, and payable 90 days after that confirmation under the Payouts terms below. The share is calculated on fees collected, not fees billed: where a fee goes uncollected, is reduced or is refunded, the Publisher's share is reduced in the same proportion. Amaltash retains the remaining 30%. This share comes out of Amaltash's advisory fee and is not an additional charge to the Strategy User.
• Effective date: the Advisory Fee Share above applies from 19 August 2026. It replaces a flat 0.25% annual share of deployed capital, which continues to apply to periods before that date.

Conflict of interest. You earn more when more people buy or invest in your Strategy, so you have a reason to promote it. Amaltash tells users about this in its Form ADV and Form CRS. Amaltash manages it by reviewing strategies, setting risk and size limits, and deciding how each Strategy runs.

Both revenue streams are region-aware — payouts are calculated and disbursed in the Strategy User's billing currency (USD or INR) and converted to the Publisher's payout currency at prevailing rates.

Pricing

Some Approved Creator Strategies carry a one-time licensing fee; others carry none. You may propose a licensing fee, with separate amounts for the United States (USD) and India (INR) regions. Amaltash sets and approves the final fee, which is displayed in the Amaltash app before a user purchases access. Every deployed Strategy is also subject to Amaltash's asset-based advisory fee, whether or not it carries a licensing fee.

Payouts

Revenue payouts are subject to the following terms:

• Minimum payout threshold: $50 USD (or equivalent)
• Holding period: revenue becomes payable 90 days after Amaltash confirms the underlying payment has been collected. The hold covers the window in which a collected payment can still be reversed, refunded or disputed
• Payout schedule: on request, once the holding period has elapsed and the minimum threshold is met. Amaltash does not disburse automatically — a Publisher requests a payout from their earnings balance and it is reviewed before release
• Payment methods: Bank transfer or PayPal (as available)
• Tax reporting: You are responsible for all applicable taxes on earnings

Ownership

You retain ownership of your Strategy logic, parameters, and any original content you create. Publishing a Strategy does not transfer ownership to Amaltash or Strategy Users.

License Grant

By publishing a Strategy, you grant Amaltash:

• A non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, display, and distribute your Strategy on the platform
• The right to execute your Strategy on behalf of Strategy Users' accounts
• The right to display Strategy statistics, performance data, and descriptions
• The right to use your Strategy name and description in platform marketing

Strategy User Access

Strategy Users receive a limited license to use your Strategy for personal trading only. Strategy Users may not: reverse engineer the Strategy, resell or redistribute it, or use it for commercial purposes beyond their own trading.

Your Representations

By publishing a Strategy, you represent and warrant that:

• You have the legal right and authority to publish the Strategy
• The Strategy does not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights
• All performance claims and descriptions are truthful and not misleading
• The Strategy does not contain malicious code or harmful functionality
• You have conducted appropriate testing before publication
• You will comply with all applicable laws and regulations
• You are not publishing from a jurisdiction where such activity is prohibited

• Strategy Suspension: Temporarily disable a Strategy pending investigation
• Strategy Removal: Permanently remove a Strategy from the marketplace
• Publishing Restriction: Revoke your ability to publish new Strategies
