Terms of Service

Effective Date: September 25, 2026  |  Last Updated: September 29, 2026

1. Agreement and Who We Are

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and the owner and operator of Tradetus.com (“Tradetus,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of the Tradetus.com website, its tools, indicators, reports, courses, data, emails and any related services (together, the “Service”).

You accept these Terms when you (a) create an account, (b) start a paid plan, (c) check a box or click a button that refers to these Terms, or (d) otherwise access or use the Service. Our Privacy Policy and Financial Disclaimer are part of these Terms. If they conflict with these Terms, these Terms control.

If you use the Service for an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms for it, and “you” includes that organization.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under the laws of the United States or the country where you live, or if you are located in, or ordinarily resident in, a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, or are on a U.S. government restricted-party list. The Service is operated from the United States. If you use it from elsewhere, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for complying with local law.

3. What the Service Is

The Service is provided for educational and informational purposes only. Tradetus publishes general market information and educational material. This includes charts, market data displays, proprietary indicators and gauges (such as Bull vs Bear, Market Compass, Trend Engine, Strength Gauge and Volatility Radar), a screener, economic and earnings calendars, institutional holdings data drawn from public filings, a weekly market report, educational courses, calculators and, if and when we offer them, AI features. Features, content, data sources, indicator methods and availability may change at any time.

Everything on the Service is the same for every user who sees it. It is published on a general basis, is not written for any particular person, and does not take into account your finances, objectives, experience, tax position or risk tolerance.

4. Not Investment Advice

NOTHING ON THE SERVICE IS INVESTMENT, FINANCIAL, TRADING, TAX, ACCOUNTING OR LEGAL ADVICE, AND NOTHING ON THE SERVICE IS A RECOMMENDATION OR OFFER TO BUY, SELL OR HOLD ANY SECURITY, DIGITAL ASSET, COMMODITY, DERIVATIVE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT.

• Tradetus is not registered as an investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor, financial planner or in any other regulated capacity with the SEC, FINRA, the CFTC, the NFA, any state or any foreign regulator, and does not act in any of those capacities.
• No adviser-client, fiduciary, agency, partnership or other special relationship arises from your use of the Service. We owe you no fiduciary duty.
• Indicator readings, signals, zones, labels (for example “trend up,” “above the line,” “bull,” “bear,” “caution” or “reduce”), percentiles, stops, allocation ranges, “suggested” figures and similar outputs are generic, rule-based descriptions of market data. They are illustrations of how a method reads the data, not instructions or personal recommendations, and they are not suitable for anyone to rely on as the basis of a decision.
• Courses, reports, examples and calculators are for education only. Worked examples are not recommendations.
• You should consult a licensed professional who knows your circumstances before making any financial decision.

5. Historical and Hypothetical Figures

Some features show how an indicator or rule would have behaved in the past, for example historical signals, “strategy versus hold” comparisons, leg statistics, drawdowns, hit rates, lead times or how often a warning was followed by a recession. These figures are hypothetical. They are calculated after the fact, with the benefit of hindsight, on data that may have been revised. They do not include commissions, spreads, slippage, taxes or the effect of real trading, and no real money was traded to produce them. Methods may have been developed or adjusted using the same history they are measured on.

Past results, whether actual or hypothetical, do not indicate or guarantee future results. No representation is made that anyone will or is likely to achieve results similar to those shown. Any indicator can and will give false signals.

6. Market Data and Third-Party Sources

Market data, economic data, filings data and news on the Service come from third parties and public sources (for example exchanges and quote providers, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED) and the SEC). We do not control them.

• Data is delayed (quotes are generally delayed at least 15 minutes), may be incomplete, inaccurate, revised, missing or out of date, and may be unavailable at any time.
• We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sequence or availability of any data or of any calculation built on it, including our indicators.
• You must independently verify any information before relying on it. Do not use the Service as your source of record for prices, trade execution or valuation.
• Third-party data may be subject to the providers’ own terms, which may restrict its use. You may use data from the Service only for your own personal, non-commercial purposes.

7. AI Features

AI features generate text automatically. Their output can be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or entirely made up, and can sound confident when it is wrong. AI output is not reviewed by a person before you see it, is not advice, and does not reflect the views of Tradetus. Do not rely on it for any decision, and do not enter confidential or sensitive personal information into it.

8. Your Responsibility and Assumption of Risk

Trading and investing involve substantial risk, including the loss of all money invested and, with leverage, options, futures or short selling, losses greater than the amount invested. You alone are responsible for your investment and trading decisions and their results. You agree that you make every decision independently and on your own judgment, that you do not rely on the Service or on Tradetus in making it, and that you use the Service entirely at your own risk.

9. Accounts

• Give accurate information and keep it current. One account per person. Do not share your login or let anyone else use your account.
• Keep your password secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at the address in Section 30 if you suspect unauthorized use.
• We may refuse, suspend or close accounts that are fake, automated, duplicated, abusive or in breach of these Terms.

10. Free Access and Previews

Some features are free, and some paid features can be previewed a limited number of times without paying. Free access and preview allowances are a courtesy. We may change, limit or end them at any time, they have no cash value, and trying to get around a limit (for example by clearing cookies repeatedly, using multiple accounts or automation) is a breach of these Terms.

11. Paid Plans, Automatic Renewal and Cancellation

Automatic renewal. Paid plans are subscriptions that renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly, as you choose) at the price shown when you subscribed, plus any applicable taxes, until you cancel. By subscribing you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method at the start of the subscription and at each renewal, without further action from you.

Price and plan terms. The price, billing period and what the plan includes are shown on the plan page and at checkout before you pay. Payments are processed by Stripe; we do not store your full card number.

How to cancel. You can cancel online at any time from your account page (My Account) using the cancel link next to your subscription, or by emailing us at the address in Section 30 from the email on your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you keep access until then and will not be charged again. Cancelling does not delete your free account.

Reminders and price changes. For yearly plans we will send a reminder before each renewal. If we change the price of your plan, we will tell you in advance, by email, before the new price applies to you, and you can cancel before it takes effect. If you do not cancel, the new price applies from your next renewal.

Failed payments. If a payment fails, we or Stripe may retry it, and we may suspend paid features until it succeeds. You remain responsible for amounts due.

Chargebacks. Please contact us before disputing a charge with your bank; most billing issues can be fixed quickly. We may suspend an account while a chargeback is pending.

Taxes. Prices may not include sales or similar taxes, which will be added where required.

12. Refunds

First payment guarantee. If you are not happy with a paid plan, email us within fourteen (14) days of your first payment and we will refund that payment in full. No questions asked. This applies once per person.

Talk to us first. If you have any problem with a charge at any time, email us before contacting your bank. We would rather refund you than argue, and we will consider any reasonable request.

Otherwise. Outside the guarantee above, payments are non-refundable and we do not give refunds or credits for partial billing periods, unused time, or periods in which you did not use the Service, except where the law requires otherwise or where we choose to in a particular case. A refund or credit you accept for a charge settles any dispute about that charge. If the law where you live gives you a right to a refund or to cancel within a set period, nothing in these Terms limits that right.

13. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• copy, scrape, crawl, harvest, bulk download, frame, mirror, resell, redistribute, sublicense or publicly display the Service, its data, indicator outputs or content, except for personal screenshots shared non-commercially with attribution to Tradetus;
• use bots, scripts or other automated means to access the Service, or place an unreasonable load on it;
• share, sell or transfer an account or paid access, or let more than one person use one subscription;
• reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract the source code, formulas or parameters of the Service or its indicators, or use the Service to build or train a competing product or model;
• bypass or interfere with access controls, preview limits, rate limits, security or payment features;
• upload malware, probe or attack our systems, or access areas you are not authorized to access;
• impersonate anyone, misrepresent an affiliation with Tradetus, or present Tradetus content as your own advice or signals to others; or
• use the Service in violation of any law or anyone else’s rights.

14. Intellectual Property and License

The Service, including its software, indicators and their methods, text, courses, graphics, design, logos and the selection and arrangement of data, belongs to Tradetus or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. “Tradetus” and our logos are our trademarks. Subject to these Terms (and, for paid features, to an active subscription), we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for your own non-commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

15. Feedback and User Content

If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback, we may use them freely without any obligation to you. If the Service lets you submit content, you keep ownership of it but grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to host, use, reproduce, modify and display it in connection with the Service. You are responsible for what you submit, and we may remove it at any time.

16. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service relies on and links to third-party services (for example payment processing, hosting, data providers and external websites). We are not responsible for them, their content, their availability or their terms, and your dealings with them are solely between you and them.

17. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. By using the Service you acknowledge it.

18. Changes to the Service

The Service is under active development. We may add, change, suspend or remove any part of it at any time, without notice and without liability. This includes indicators and tools, their formulas, inputs, parameters, thresholds, lookback periods, smoothing, zone and label definitions, data sources and data vendors, as well as features, content, courses, free preview limits and which features are included in which plan.

Because methods and data change, readings can change after the fact. A past signal, zone, level, statistic or historical result shown today may differ from what was shown earlier, from what another user saw, or from what will be shown later. Recalculations, data revisions, bug fixes and method changes can all cause this. We are not required to keep earlier versions, archive past readings, explain a change, or tell you about it before or after it happens. A change to the Service, or a difference between readings shown at different times, is not a breach of these Terms and does not entitle you to damages.

Your subscription gives you access to the Service as it exists from time to time, not to any particular indicator, method, reading or feature. If we make a change that materially reduces what your paid plan includes, you may cancel, and if you ask within 30 days of the change we will refund the unused part of your current billing period. If we permanently discontinue a paid plan you are subscribed to, we will stop billing you for it.

19. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND EVERYTHING ON IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRADETUS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY DATA, INDICATOR OR OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, RELIABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT USING IT WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT, INCLUDING ANY PROFIT OR AVOIDED LOSS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

20. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

(a) TRADETUS AND ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS (THE “TRADETUS PARTIES”) WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY TRADING OR INVESTMENT LOSSES, LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF DATA OR GOODWILL, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, however caused and under any theory of liability (contract, tort including negligence, strict liability, statute or otherwise), even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

(b) THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF THE TRADETUS PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (ii) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

Without limiting the above, the Tradetus Parties are not liable for losses caused by inaccurate, delayed or missing data; indicator or model errors or false signals; AI output; service interruptions; unauthorized access to your account; or the acts of third parties.

These limits are an essential part of the bargain between you and us, allow us to offer the Service at its price, and apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not limit liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.

21. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Tradetus Parties from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use or misuse of the Service; (b) your breach of these Terms or of any law; (c) your violation of anyone’s rights; (d) content you submit; or (e) any investment, trading or other decision you or anyone acting for you makes.

22. Release

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release the Tradetus Parties from all claims, known and unknown, arising out of or relating to your investment and trading decisions and their results. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” If you live elsewhere, you waive any similar law.

23. Time Limit to Bring Claims

To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms must be started (by filing in arbitration or, where permitted, in court) within one (1) year after the claim arises. Otherwise it is permanently barred.

24. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURT, AND IT WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO TAKE PART IN A CLASS ACTION.

24.1 Informal resolution first

Before starting any claim, you and we each agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. The party with the claim must send a written notice to the other (to us at the email in Section 30; to you at the email on your account) describing the claim and the relief sought, and must give the other party sixty (60) days to resolve it. If requested, both sides will take part in a good-faith call. Statutes of limitation are paused during this period. Completing this step is a condition to starting arbitration.

24.2 Agreement to arbitrate

Except as stated in Section 24.3, any dispute, claim or controversy between you and any Tradetus Party arising out of or relating to the Service, these Terms or their breach, formation, interpretation, enforceability or scope (including whether a claim is subject to arbitration) will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration. The arbitrator, not a court, decides all such questions, except that a court decides questions about Section 24.5 (class and representative waiver) and Section 24.6 (mass filings). This agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

24.3 Exceptions

Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies and stays there, and (b) seek an injunction in court to stop actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property, unauthorized access or scraping.

24.4 Rules, fees and location

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect (available at adr.org), before a single arbitrator. Payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees is governed by those rules. The arbitration will take place by video conference or, if the arbitrator decides an in-person hearing is necessary, in the county where you live. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, but only to you individually and only to the extent needed to resolve your individual claim, and must follow these Terms, including Sections 20 and 23. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. If the AAA is unavailable, the parties will agree on, or a court will appoint, a substitute administrator.

24.5 Class and representative action waiver

YOU AND TRADETUS EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any class or representative proceeding. YOU AND TRADETUS EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If this Section 24.5 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as public injunctive relief), that claim or request will be severed and decided by a court after the individual arbitration of all other claims is finished, and it will be stayed until then. This Section 24.5 does not prevent either party from taking part in a class-wide settlement.

24.6 Mass filings

If twenty-five (25) or more similar demands for arbitration are brought against us by or with the help of the same or coordinated counsel or organizations, they will be administered in batches of up to twenty-five (25) demands, with one batch at a time proceeding to a decision, fees assessed per batch, and the remaining demands held in abeyance (with limitation periods paused) until each batch is resolved. The parties will act in good faith to resolve the remaining demands after the first batches are decided. A court may enforce this Section 24.6.

24.7 Right to opt out

You may opt out of this Section 24 by emailing us at the address in Section 30 within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms, from the email on your account, with your name and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms or any earlier arbitration agreement between us.

24.8 Changes to this Section

If we make a material change to this Section 24, the change will not apply to any claim you had already notified us of before the change took effect, and you may reject it by emailing us within thirty (30) days after it is posted, in which case the version you last accepted continues to apply.

24.9 Survival and severability

This Section 24 survives the end of your use of the Service and termination of these Terms. Except as stated in Section 24.5, if any part of this Section 24 is found unenforceable, the rest of it remains in effect.

25. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute between you and us are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal law, and otherwise by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. For any claim that is not subject to arbitration, you and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of California, except that either party may bring a small claims action where Section 24.3 allows.

26. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and cancel a paid plan as described in Section 11. We may suspend or terminate your access, or delete your account, at any time if we believe you have breached these Terms, if required by law, to protect the Service or other users, or if we stop offering the Service. If we terminate a paid plan without cause, we will refund the unused part of the current paid period; we do not refund when access ends because of your breach. Sections 4 to 8, 12, 14, 15 and 19 to 29 survive termination.

27. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms here and change the “Last Updated” date, and for material changes we will give reasonable advance notice, including by email to account holders. Changes apply from the date stated, and for paid plans from your next renewal. If you do not agree to a change, stop using the Service and cancel before it takes effect; continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated Terms. Section 24.8 governs changes to the arbitration agreement.

28. Electronic Communications

You agree to receive agreements, notices, receipts, reminders and other communications from us electronically, by email or on the Service, and that they satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Keep the email on your account current; notices sent to it are treated as received.

29. General Terms

• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account. We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without notice, including to an affiliate or to any company or other entity that owns or operates the Service now or in the future, or in connection with a merger, reorganization or sale of assets. These Terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
• Entire agreement. These Terms (with the Privacy Policy, Financial Disclaimer and any terms shown at checkout) are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and replace any earlier understandings.
• Severability. Subject to Section 24.5, if any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the rest of these Terms stays in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
• Force majeure. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages of hosting, data or payment providers, internet or power failures, cyberattacks, natural disasters, war, government action or market disruptions.
• Independent parties. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency or fiduciary relationship.
• No third-party beneficiaries, except that the Tradetus Parties may enforce Sections 19 to 24.
• Headings and language. Headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation.” The English version of these Terms controls.

30. Contact

Questions, notices, cancellation requests and arbitration opt-outs: [email protected], or through our contact page.
