These Terms govern your use of Tradancy (the “Service”), an AI-powered tool that generates trading strategy code from natural-language descriptions and can execute that code against a connected Alpaca brokerage account. By creating an account, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction. You're responsible for ensuring that using this Service and trading securities is lawful where you live.
2. Not investment advice
Tradancy is a software tool, not an investment advisor, broker-dealer, or fiduciary. Nothing the Service produces — generated code, backtest results, explanations, or risk labels — is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. All trading decisions and their consequences are yours alone.
3. AI-generated code
Strategies are generated by large language models that can produce code that is incorrect, suboptimal, or that behaves differently than its description. You are responsible for reviewing generated code before activating it. Backtest results are historical simulations only and do not predict future performance.
4. Paper trading only (initially)
At launch, the Service operates against Alpaca's paper-trading environment with simulated money. Real-money (live) trading may be made available in the future, subject to additional safeguards and acceptance terms.
5. Your account and credentials
You're responsible for keeping your password secure and for all activity under your account. We encrypt brokerage credentials at rest but cannot recover them if compromised externally. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service to violate any law or any third party's rights
- Attempt to bypass quota limits, rate limits, or platform safeguards
- Probe, scan, or attack the Service or its infrastructure
- Use the Service to manipulate markets or engage in deceptive trading
- Resell or sublicense access to the Service
7. No warranty
The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any strategy will be profitable. Generated code may contain bugs. Market data may be delayed or inaccurate.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tradancy and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or trading losses, arising out of your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim related to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose (or USD $50 if you paid nothing).
9. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you've violated these Terms, abused the Service, or created risk for the platform or other users. You may close your account at any time by contacting us.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email or via the Service. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
