Terms & Conditions

Effective date: 2025-12-24

Overview

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the QuantBytes platform (the "Service"). By creating an account, accessing the Service, or using any feature, you agree to these Terms.

QuantBytes is a developer-first platform that provides visual tools for building, testing, and deploying trading strategies. We provide technology, not investment advice or pre-packaged trading signals.

If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Service Description & Limitations

QuantBytes provides:

  • A visual, node-based builder for creating trading strategies without code
  • Historical backtesting capabilities across multiple timeframes
  • Parameter optimization tools for strategy refinement
  • Cloud deployment for 24/7 strategy execution
  • Signal delivery via Telegram or Discord integration

Important: QuantBytes does NOT sell trading signals, bots, or provide investment advice. You are solely responsible for any trading decisions made using strategies created on our platform.

Plans, Billing, and Trials

QuantBytes offers subscription plans (for example: Free, Basic, Pro). Plan availability, features, and limits may change over time.

If a plan includes a free trial, the trial period (if any) and trial end date will be shown in your account settings. You may cancel a trial before it ends to avoid future charges once billing is enabled.

Subscription fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis. You may upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Changes to your plan may take effect immediately or at the next billing cycle.

Note: During beta, billing/payment processing may not be enabled yet; selecting a plan may still set your access level in the product.

Account & Acceptable Use

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service.

You agree not to misuse the Service, including:

  • Attempting to disrupt, reverse-engineer, exploit, or gain unauthorized access to systems, data, or other accounts
  • Automated scraping, data mining, or excessive API calls without explicit written permission
  • Using the platform to create strategies for illegal activities or market manipulation
  • Sharing access credentials or allowing unauthorized users to access your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in harmful activities.

Strategy Ownership & Intellectual Property

Your Strategies: You retain all intellectual property rights to the trading strategies you create using the QuantBytes visual builder. You grant QuantBytes a limited license to store, process, and execute your strategies solely to provide the Service to you.

Our Technology: The QuantBytes platform, including all software, visual builder components, algorithms, user interfaces, and documentation, is owned by QuantBytes and protected by intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service without our prior written consent.

Risk Disclaimer

Trading involves substantial risk of loss. The Service provides tools to build, test, and deploy strategies, but does not provide investment advice. Past performance in backtesting is not indicative of future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions.

Backtesting Limitations: Historical backtest results are simulations based on past market data and do not guarantee future performance. Market conditions change, and strategies that performed well historically may not perform well in the future.

QuantBytes is not a broker-dealer, financial advisor, or registered investment advisor. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information, backtest results, or signals generated through the Service.

Refund Policy

Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy. Please review it here: /refund-policy.

Generally, subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as specified in the Refund Policy. If you cancel your subscription, you will continue to have access until the end of your current billing period.

Modifications & Termination

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of significant changes via email or through the Service. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to the Service at our discretion, including for violations of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease, but sections regarding intellectual property, disclaimer of warranties, limitation of liability, and governing law will survive.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, QuantBytes shall not be liable for:

  • Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Loss of profits, data, trading opportunities, or capital
  • Damages arising from your use of strategies created on the platform
  • Issues with third-party integrations (Telegram, Discord, or future execution platforms)
  • Market data inaccuracies or delays affecting backtest results

Our total liability for any claims under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the last 12 months.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
