1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using the CopyTrade platform ("Service," "Software," "Platform"), you ("User," "you") agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") with CopyTrade LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("CopyTrade," "we," "us," "Company").

If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must not use the Service. Your continued use of the Service constitutes ongoing acceptance of these Terms and any updates.

You must be at least 18 years of age and legally permitted to trade futures contracts in your jurisdiction to use this Service.

2. Nature of Service — What CopyTrade Is and Is Not

What CopyTrade IS:

• A webhook automation software tool that receives JSON-formatted trade signals from third-party platforms (such as TradingView) and forwards order instructions to connected brokerage accounts via official broker APIs
• A dashboard interface for configuring automation parameters, monitoring connected accounts, and viewing trade history
• A passive relay layer — the software transmits instructions you configure to brokers you have authorized

What CopyTrade IS NOT:

• Not a broker or introducing broker — CopyTrade does not execute trades directly; all orders are placed through your chosen broker's own API
• Not an investment advisor or commodity trading advisor (CTA) — CopyTrade is not registered with the CFTC, NFA, SEC, or any other regulatory body in any advisory capacity
• Not a signal provider — CopyTrade does not generate, sell, or recommend trade signals of any kind
• Not a fund manager or custodian — CopyTrade never holds, receives, controls, or has custody of your funds at any time
• Not a guarantor of execution — CopyTrade cannot guarantee that any signal will result in a filled order, or that orders will be filled at any particular price
• Not responsible for your trading strategy — the strategy, signals, risk parameters, and all trading decisions are entirely yours

3. User Control and Responsibility

You retain complete and sole control over all aspects of your trading activity. CopyTrade operates only on instructions you configure. Specifically:

• You decide which broker accounts to connect and which accounts to enable or disable at any time
• You configure all trade parameters including position sizing, take-profit levels, stop-loss levels, and risk limits
• You are solely responsible for selecting and configuring the signal source (e.g., TradingView strategy or alert)
• You can pause, stop, or disconnect the Service at any time using the dashboard controls
• You are solely responsible for monitoring your connected accounts and intervening when necessary
• You are solely responsible for ensuring your trading activity complies with your broker's terms of service and all applicable laws and regulations
• You are solely responsible for all trading losses, costs, fees, and outcomes resulting from use of the Service

The fact that CopyTrade automates order transmission does not transfer any trading responsibility from you to CopyTrade. Automation does not alter your legal and financial responsibility for all trades executed on your accounts.

4. API Keys and Brokerage Credentials

4.1 Your Responsibility

To use the Service, you must provide API credentials (API keys, passwords, or other authentication tokens) issued by your broker. You represent and warrant that:

• You are the authorized account holder for every brokerage account you connect
• You have reviewed and comply with your broker's API terms and conditions
• You understand that connecting your brokerage account authorizes CopyTrade to place orders on your behalf according to your configured parameters

4.2 Security Practices

We strongly recommend and you agree to:

• Create API keys with trade-only permissions — never grant withdrawal, transfer, or fund management permissions to any third-party application including CopyTrade
• Never share your API credentials with any person or service other than CopyTrade
• Immediately revoke and regenerate any API credentials you believe may have been compromised
• Regularly review active API sessions in your broker dashboard

4.3 Storage and Encryption

CopyTrade encrypts stored credentials using AES-256-CBC encryption before writing to disk. However, no encryption system is unconditionally secure, and you should treat credential storage with any third-party service as a security exposure.

Tradovate-specific notice: Tradovate's authentication API requires username, password, CID, and API Secret. CopyTrade currently stores these credentials using industry-standard encryption methods. This is an architectural requirement of the Tradovate platform. If you are not comfortable storing full login credentials with a third-party service, do not connect a Tradovate account.

TopstepX and Apex: These brokers use a platform-generated API key for authentication. Full login credentials are not required or stored for these accounts.

By providing your credentials, you accept all associated risk. CopyTrade is not liable for unauthorized access to your brokerage accounts resulting from credential compromise, whether or not such compromise originates from our systems.

4.4 Credential Revocation

You may remove your API credentials from CopyTrade at any time through the account settings dashboard. You are responsible for separately revoking the API key within your broker's platform to fully terminate access.

5. Broker Responsibility and Execution Risk

5.1 Broker Relationship

Your brokerage account is maintained exclusively by your broker. CopyTrade has no contractual relationship with your broker on your behalf and accepts no responsibility for:

• Your broker's order routing, execution quality, or fill prices
• Your broker's platform availability, API reliability, or downtime
• Your broker's margin calculations, liquidations, or account management decisions
• Changes to your broker's API that affect CopyTrade's ability to communicate with your account
• Your broker's fee structure, commissions, or charges
• Your broker's compliance with their own terms of service toward you

5.2 Execution Risk

Order transmission through CopyTrade involves multiple technology layers, each of which may introduce delay, failure, or error:

• Signal transmission delay: Time between signal generation by your source platform and receipt by CopyTrade's server
• Processing delay: Time for CopyTrade to process and transmit the order instruction to your broker
• Broker API delay: Time for your broker to receive, process, and route the order to the exchange
• Exchange execution delay: Time for the exchange to match and fill your order

CopyTrade makes no guarantee regarding total execution time. Market conditions at the time of fill may differ materially from conditions at the time the signal was generated. You may receive fills at prices significantly different from expected. This is an inherent characteristic of automated trading over internet-connected systems and is not a defect in the Service.

5.3 Partial Fills, Missed Orders, and Duplicate Orders

Technical failures — including but not limited to server outages, internet disruptions, API rate limiting, broker system errors, and software bugs — may result in:

• Orders not being transmitted to your broker
• Orders transmitted but not confirmed as filled
• Duplicate orders being placed
• Stop-loss or take-profit orders not being placed or modified as configured

CopyTrade is not liable for trading losses resulting from any of the above circumstances. You are responsible for monitoring your accounts and maintaining independent position management capability.

6. No Performance Claims

CopyTrade makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding trading performance of any kind. Specifically:

• CopyTrade does not guarantee that use of the Service will result in profitable trading
• CopyTrade does not guarantee that any trading strategy executed through the Service will perform in the future as it has historically
• Any performance statistics displayed in the dashboard (win rate, P&L, etc.) are calculated from data provided by your broker and are presented for informational purposes only — they are not verified, audited, or guaranteed to be accurate
• The terms "automated," "optimized," or similar language in our marketing materials describe software functionality only — they make no implication about trading outcomes
• References to execution speed (e.g., latency estimates) are approximate technical measurements under normal conditions and are not guaranteed performance specifications

Past performance of any strategy is not indicative of future results. You may lose some or all of your invested capital.

7. Limitation of Liability

7.1 Disclaimer of Warranties

THIS EXCLUSION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UNDER WHICH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT AND EVEN IF COPYTRADE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7.3 Aggregate Liability Cap

IN ALL CASES WHERE LIABILITY IS NOT FULLY EXCLUDED, COPYTRADE'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID BY YOU TO COPYTRADE IN THE THREE (3) CALENDAR MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) US$50.00.

7.4 Essential Basis

The limitations and exclusions in this Section 7 reflect a reasonable allocation of risk between the parties and are an essential basis of the bargain between you and CopyTrade. CopyTrade would not provide the Service on the terms set forth herein without these limitations.

8. Indemnification

• That any trade signal will be received, processed, or transmitted within any specific timeframe
• Compatibility with future versions of any broker API or third-party platform

Scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, updates, and infrastructure events may cause temporary service interruptions. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time, with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate planned outages in advance where possible.

CopyTrade may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, pose a security risk, create legal exposure for CopyTrade, or for any other legitimate business reason. Upon termination, all rights granted to you under these Terms immediately cease.

11. Subscription and Billing

Paid subscription plans are billed on a recurring monthly or annual basis as selected at checkout. All fees are in US dollars. By subscribing you authorize CopyTrade to charge your payment method on each billing cycle.

12. Intellectual Property

All software, source code, interfaces, trademarks, branding, documentation, algorithms, workflows, databases, and other intellectual property associated with CopyTrade are owned exclusively by CopyTrade LLC and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in CopyTrade's intellectual property beyond the limited right to use the Service as expressly described herein.

• Notify affected users by email to their registered address as promptly as practicable and in any event within 72 hours of confirming the breach, where technically feasible
• Describe the nature of the information affected and the steps we are taking in response
• Provide guidance on protective measures you should take, including revoking and regenerating any potentially compromised API credentials

You are responsible for maintaining a current and accurate email address on your account to receive breach notifications. Upon any suspected compromise, you should immediately revoke all API keys connected to CopyTrade directly within your broker's platform — do not wait for notification.

15. Affiliate Program Compliance

CopyTrade operates a referral affiliate program. Affiliates who receive compensation (including commission) for referring users to CopyTrade are required to:

• Clearly and conspicuously disclose their paid relationship with CopyTrade in any promotional content, in compliance with FTC Endorsement Guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) and applicable laws in their jurisdiction
• Make only truthful, accurate, and non-misleading statements about CopyTrade and its services
• Not make performance claims, profit guarantees, or representations about trading outcomes on behalf of CopyTrade

Failure to comply with these requirements may result in termination of affiliate status and forfeiture of unpaid commissions.

16. Force Majeure

CopyTrade shall not be liable for any delays, interruptions, failures, or damages resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, internet failures, cloud service provider outages, exchange outages, broker API outages, cyberattacks, government actions, regulatory changes, or failures of third-party infrastructure. In such events, CopyTrade's obligations under these Terms will be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event.
