Terms of Service
The rules for using QuantParadox — what we provide, what you're responsible for, and the boundaries around a platform that helps you build and test trading strategies.
Last updated July 25, 2026
01What QuantParadox is
QuantParadox (“we”, “us”, the “Platform”) is a research and software tool for building, backtesting, and paper-trading trading strategies. It includes AI-assisted strategy authoring, a historical backtesting engine, an autonomous strategy-evolution system, paper-trading simulation, and optional connectivity to a third-party MetaTrader 5 (“MT5”) account for your own live execution.
QuantParadox is not a broker, exchange, custodian, or investment adviser. We do not hold your funds, execute trades on your behalf, or provide personalized investment advice. Nothing on the Platform — including AI-authored strategies, backtest results, “edge” or “verdict” labels, or evolution/optimization output — is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument.
02Eligibility and your account
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract to use the Platform. You're responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for keeping your account credentials confidential, and for all activity that happens under your account. Tell us immediately at desk@quantparadox.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
A workspace may have multiple members with different roles (owner, admin, member, viewer). The workspace owner is responsible for who they invite and what access those members are granted.
03Backtests, simulations, and AI-generated content are not guarantees
Backtested and simulated (“paper”) results are hypothetical: they are calculated with the benefit of hindsight, do not reflect actual trading, and cannot fully account for real-world factors such as slippage, liquidity, latency, and changing market conditions. Past or simulated performance is not indicative of future results. A strategy that performed well in a backtest or paper account may lose money if traded live.
Strategies authored, rewritten, or optimized by our AI features are generated by a third-party language model and may contain errors, misinterpret your intent, or produce logic that does not do what you expect. You are solely responsible for reviewing any strategy — AI-generated or otherwise — before relying on it, exporting it, or connecting it to a live account.
04MT5 connectivity and live trading
The Platform can connect to a broker account you identify (login and server) so that exported strategies can be run through your own MT5 terminal. We never ask for, store, or transmit your broker password — the connection is identity-only, and any live execution happens entirely within your own MT5 terminal, under your control.
You alone decide whether, when, and how to trade live. We do not monitor, guarantee, or take responsibility for the outcome of any live trade placed through a strategy sourced from this Platform. Trading leveraged instruments carries a high risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone; only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
05Subscriptions, credits, and billing
Paid plans renew automatically on the cadence shown at checkout until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and we don't provide partial-period refunds for subscriptions except as described in our Refund Policy. Some AI-powered actions (strategy authoring, rewrite, custom mode) consume metered credits at prices shown in the product; credit packs are one-time purchases and do not expire, but are non-refundable once any portion has been used.
Prices, credit allowances, and feature availability by plan may change; we'll give notice of material changes affecting an active subscription before they take effect on your next renewal.
06Affiliate program
If you participate in our affiliate program, separate terms apply: commissions are earned only on referrals attributed through your approved referral link, at the rate and structure (one-time or recurring) set when your application is approved, and are payable at our discretion once the underlying customer payment has actually settled. We may suspend or terminate an affiliate account for fraud, abuse, or violation of these Terms, in which case unpaid pending commissions may be forfeited.
07Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Platform to violate any law or the rules of any exchange or broker;
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract the underlying strategy engine, the proprietary/“proven” strategy library, or any non-public methodology;
- Share your account, API keys, or affiliate referral code in a way designed to circumvent our pricing or attribution;
- Interfere with the Platform's operation, security, or other users' access;
- Use the Platform to build or distribute a competing product from data or logic you did not independently develop.
08Intellectual property
You retain ownership of the strategies you write, import, or author through the Platform. You grant us a license to store, run, and process that content solely to provide the service to you (backtesting, evolution, paper trading, export). The Platform itself — the backtest engine, the evolution/reconciliation brain, the proprietary strategy library, and the software generally — remains our property and is not transferred to you by using the service.
09Disclaimers and limitation of liability
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY STRATEGY WILL BE PROFITABLE, THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT BACKTEST/SIMULATION RESULTS WILL MATCH LIVE TRADING OUTCOMES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY TRADING LOSSES, LOST PROFITS, OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR ANY STRATEGY BUILT, TESTED, OR EXPORTED THROUGH IT. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE.
10Termination
You may stop using the Platform and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms, non-payment, or activity that risks harm to the Platform or other users. On termination, sections that by their nature should survive (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability) continue to apply.
11Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms as the product evolves. We'll post the new version here with an updated date, and for material changes we'll make a reasonable effort to notify active subscribers by email before the changes take effect.
