Terms of Service

By accessing, downloading, installing, or using QuantForge ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Platform.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you") and QuantForge ("we," "us," "our"). Your continued use of the Platform after any modifications to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

QuantForge is a cloud-hosted, AI-powered cryptocurrency trading platform. The Platform provides:

• Automated and semi-automated trading bot management
• AI-powered market analysis using Claude (Anthropic) and local Ollama models
• 40+ validated trading strategies across multiple categories
• Backtesting, walk-forward validation, and Monte Carlo simulation
• Paper trading (simulated) and live trading via exchange APIs
• Real-time risk management and portfolio monitoring
• A chat-first interface for strategy deployment and management

The Platform runs entirely on your own infrastructure. We provide the software; you provide the hardware, exchange accounts, and API keys.

To use QuantForge, you must create an account and provide accurate, complete registration information. You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
• All activities that occur under your account
• Keeping your exchange API credentials secure and using trade-only permissions
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access

We encrypt API keys at rest using Fernet encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation, but the security of your deployment environment is ultimately your responsibility.

QuantForge offers the following tiers:

• Free — $0: Paper trading, up to 5 bots, all 40 strategies, AI-powered analysis, full backtesting
• Pro — $149/month (coming soon): Live exchange trading, derivatives + on-chain data, unlimited AI messages, priority support

Subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly basis. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Refunds are not provided for partial months. We reserve the right to modify pricing with 30 days' notice.

You agree not to use the Platform to:

• Engage in market manipulation, wash trading, spoofing, or layering
• Violate any applicable laws, regulations, or exchange rules
• Circumvent exchange rate limits or terms of service
• Redistribute, resell, or sublicense the Platform without authorization
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from the Platform
• Use the Platform for money laundering or terrorist financing

You are solely responsible for ensuring your trading activities comply with the laws and regulations of your jurisdiction, including but not limited to tax obligations, licensing requirements, and reporting duties.

All code, documentation, trading strategies, AI prompts, and associated intellectual property within QuantForge are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

Your subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Platform for personal or internal business purposes. This license does not include the right to modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Platform's source code without explicit written permission.

The Platform integrates with third-party services. By using these integrations, you agree to comply with their respective terms:

• Binance — Exchange connectivity for market data and order execution. You must maintain your own Binance account and API keys.
• Anthropic (Claude API) — AI-powered analysis and chat. Prompts are sent to Anthropic's servers for processing. Review Anthropic's usage policies.
• Coinglass — Derivatives and on-chain data. Data is fetched via their API under your own API key and plan.
• Ollama — Local AI inference. Runs entirely on your hardware with no external data transmission.

We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or terms of these third-party services. Disruptions to any third-party service may affect Platform functionality.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, QuantForge shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

• Trading losses, whether from manual or automated trades
• Losses arising from AI-generated signals or analysis
• Exchange downtime, API failures, or connectivity issues
• Data inaccuracies from third-party sources
• Security breaches resulting from compromised exchange credentials
• Lost profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities

AI signals generated by the Platform are advisory inputs to a rules-based risk framework. They are never autonomous and should never be treated as financial advice. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Platform in the twelve months preceding the claim.

The Platform is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We do not guarantee any specific trading results or returns. Past performance of any strategy, whether backtested or live, does not guarantee future results.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time for violation of these Terms, with or without notice. You may terminate your account at any time by canceling your subscription and ceasing use of the Platform.

Upon termination, your license to use the Platform is revoked. Sections regarding limitation of liability, disclaimers, intellectual property, and governing law survive termination.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates, specifically the Emirate of Dubai. Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or through the Platform at least 30 days before taking effect. Your continued use of the Platform after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
