Consumer Terms of Service

Welcome to AI Trading Bot. Please read these Terms of Service carefully before accessing or using our platform.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of AI Trading Bot, including our web platform at autotraderbot.ai, the AI Trading Bot desktop client application for Windows, any future mobile applications for iOS and Android, our trading bot software, MetaTrader 5 (MT5) integrations, Telegram integration, email notification services, and all other products, features, and services that we may offer to individuals (collectively, our "Services"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and AI Trading Bot LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a Virginia limited liability company. These Terms incorporate our Acceptable Use Policy set forth in Section 3 below.

By creating an account, accessing, or using any part of our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use our Services.

Please also read our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information in connection with the Services.

Who We Are

AI Trading Bot LLC is a technology company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States. We develop and operate AI-powered trading automation software for the foreign exchange market. Our Services are provided through the following platforms:

• Web Platform: A browser-based dashboard and management console accessible at autotraderbot.ai, providing account management, bot configuration, trade monitoring, subscription management, and administrative tools.
• Desktop Client Application: A downloadable Windows application that connects to the web platform and interfaces directly with your MetaTrader 5 (MT5) terminal to execute automated trades on your behalf based on your configured parameters.
• Mobile Applications: We may in the future offer iOS and Android mobile applications to extend platform access to mobile devices. Any such applications will be governed by these Terms upon release.
• Communication Integrations: We offer optional integrations with third-party platforms, including Telegram, for community announcements, updates, and support functionality.

Account Creation and Access

Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the minimum age required to consent to the use of online services and to engage in forex trading in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

Account Registration

To access our Services, you must create an account ("Account") by providing a valid email address and creating a secure password. Upon registration, you will be assigned an auto-generated username and a unique member number (in MEM-XXXXXX format) for identification purposes. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information as necessary to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

Email Verification and Onboarding

Following registration, you must verify your email address before gaining full access to the Services. You will be guided through an onboarding flow that includes email verification, a welcome orientation, and optional setup of two-factor authentication (2FA). Certain features of the Services may be restricted until email verification is complete.

Two-Factor Authentication

We strongly recommend, and may require, that you enable two-factor authentication on your Account. We support multiple 2FA methods, including email-based time-limited one-time passcodes, authenticator applications (TOTP), and backup recovery codes. Enabling 2FA adds a significant layer of security to your Account and helps protect against unauthorized access.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account credentials, including your password, 2FA codes, and any backup recovery codes. You may not share, transfer, or disclose your Account login information or credentials to any other person. You are solely responsible for all activity occurring under your Account, including all trading activities conducted through connected MT5 accounts, all bot configurations, and all changes to account settings.

You agree to notify us immediately at support@autotraderbot.ai if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your Account.

Account Lockout and Session Management

For your protection, your Account will be temporarily locked after ten (10) consecutive failed login attempts within a fifteen (15) minute window. Additionally, your session will automatically expire after fifteen (15) minutes of inactivity, requiring you to re-authenticate. These security measures are designed to protect your Account from unauthorized access and cannot be disabled.

Profile Information

You may optionally provide additional profile information, including but not limited to your first and last name, phone number, date of birth, full mailing address, occupation, company name, work experience, trading experience level, risk tolerance, investment goals, biographical information, and preferred timezone. Any information you provide must be truthful and accurate. We use this information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

MT5 Account Requirements

To use our automated trading features, you must hold a valid MetaTrader 5 (MT5) account with a licensed forex broker of your choosing. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by MetaQuotes Software Corp. (the developer of MT5) or any particular forex broker. We do not receive compensation, commissions, or referral fees from any broker. You are solely responsible for your selection of a broker, compliance with your broker's terms of service, and all interactions with your broker.

Acceptable Use Policy

You may access and use our Services only in compliance with these Terms, all applicable laws and regulations, and any guidelines or policies we may publish on the Services from time to time. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services is lawful in your jurisdiction.

Prohibited Activities

You may not access or use, or assist any other person in accessing or using, our Services in any of the following ways:

• Market manipulation: Engaging in market manipulation, wash trading, spoofing, layering, pump-and-dump schemes, or any other form of market abuse or artificial price influence.

• Unauthorized automation: Accessing the Services through automated means (including bots, scrapers, crawlers, or scripts) other than the official desktop client application, API endpoints, and integrations that we expressly provide.
• Competitive development: Using the Services, or any information obtained through the Services, to develop, improve, or operate any products, services, or algorithms that compete with or are substantially similar to our Services.
• Account abuse: Creating multiple accounts to circumvent subscription limits, entitlement restrictions, trial eligibility, or any other usage restrictions; sharing Account access with unauthorized third parties; or operating bots on behalf of unregistered users.
• System interference: Interfering with, disrupting, or attempting to gain unauthorized access to any servers, networks, databases, or infrastructure used to provide the Services; introducing malware, viruses, or other harmful code; or conducting denial-of-service attacks.
• Data harvesting: Scraping, mining, harvesting, or collecting any data, content, or information from the Services by any means other than the intended functionality of the Services.

Trading Bots and Automated Trading

Nature of Service

Our trading bots are general-purpose software tools that execute pre-defined, rules-based strategies on your connected MT5 account. The strategies and risk filters we make available are standardized components developed by the Company and offered identically to every user who selects them. They are not created for, tailored to, or based on your individual financial circumstances, objectives, or risk tolerance, and the Company does not evaluate your personal situation or advise you on whether any strategy is suitable for you.

A bot operates only after you select a strategy, configure its parameters (including symbol, timeframe, position size, stop loss, take profit, and risk filters), designate an account, and activate it. Once activated, the bot applies that strategy’s predetermined rules deterministically against live market data — opening, modifying, and closing positions automatically according to the logic and settings then in effect — until you stop it or a system safeguard stops it. The Company does not exercise case-by-case judgment over your account, does not decide on a discretionary basis whether or when to trade for you, and does not alter your configuration without your input. The decision to deploy a strategy to live capital, on which account, and with what risk settings rests solely with you.

Bot Configuration and Strategies

You are responsible for configuring all bot parameters, including but not limited to:

• Trading symbol: The currency pair or instrument on which the bot will trade.
• Trading strategy: The algorithmic strategy the bot will use for trade entry and exit signals, including but not limited to RSI+SMA, MACD+Bollinger Band, and Institutional Edge strategies.
• Timeframe: The chart timeframe for analysis, ranging from M5 (5-minute) through D1 (daily).
• Position sizing: Lot sizes for each trade, which directly determine your risk exposure.
• Risk parameters: Stop loss and take profit levels, which define maximum loss per trade and profit targets.
• Cooldown settings: Intervals between trades following losses or wins to manage trading frequency.

Built-In Risk Filters

Our bots include certain built-in risk management features that operate according to predefined rules. These filters are designed to reduce exposure during periods of elevated market risk but do not eliminate trading risk. Built-in filters include:

• ADX Trend Filter: Evaluates trend strength using the Average Directional Index (ADX) indicator and may prevent entries when trend conditions are insufficient (default threshold: 25).
• News Event Filter: Automatically pauses new trade entries around major scheduled economic releases (such as Non-Farm Payrolls, FOMC decisions, and CPI data) to avoid periods of extreme volatility. Pause windows are pre-configured (typically 90 minutes before and 60 minutes after high-impact events).
• London Killzone Filter: Blocks new trade entries during the London session opening period (05:00-08:00 UTC) for specified currency pairs to avoid pre-session liquidity sweep events.
• Dynamic Position Management (DPM): Automatically manages open positions with breakeven moves and trailing stops to protect unrealized profits. DPM is always active on open positions.
• Progressive Stop Loss: Tracks and adjusts stop loss levels progressively as positions move in your favor.

Your Responsibilities

• You are solely responsible for selecting and configuring all bot parameters, including lot sizes, stop losses, take profits, strategies, timeframes, and risk settings.
• You must monitor your trading bots regularly and ensure they are operating as intended. Automated trading does not eliminate the need for active oversight.
• You are responsible for ensuring adequate account balance, margin, and equity to support automated trading and to meet your broker's margin requirements.
• You understand and accept that technical issues, including but not limited to internet connectivity failures, MT5 platform outages, broker server downtime, software updates, and system maintenance, may interrupt or affect bot performance and trade execution.
• You are responsible for stopping bots before performing account maintenance, changing broker settings, or switching MT5 accounts.
• You acknowledge that you may configure multiple strategies per symbol, and that such configurations increase your exposure to that instrument.

No Guaranteed Results

We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the profitability, performance, accuracy, or reliability of our trading bots or any trading strategy. Past performance of any strategy, including backtesting results, simulated performance, or historical trade data, is not indicative of future results. All trading involves inherent risk, and automated trading may amplify both gains and losses. You may lose some or all of your invested capital.

AI Features — Limitations and Output

The Services include features powered by artificial intelligence (the "AI Features"), including a conversational AI Assistant and AI-driven trading strategies. This Section governs your use of those AI Features and clarifies their limitations. The privacy and data-handling implications of the AI Features are addressed in the Privacy Policy — AI and Automated Processing section.

Nature of AI Output

AI Features generate output programmatically based on inputs you provide and data they are permitted to access. AI output:

• Is not financial, investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Nothing produced by the AI Assistant or any AI-driven strategy constitutes advice of any kind. AI output is informational only and should not be relied on as a basis for any trading or investment decision.
• May be inaccurate. AI systems can produce confident-sounding output that is factually wrong, internally inconsistent, or based on a misreading of the underlying data ("hallucinations"). You should verify any material output against your dashboard, trade history, broker records, or other independently reliable sources before acting on it.
• Is not predictive. AI output describing past performance, current state, or modeled scenarios is not a prediction of future market movement or returns. Past performance, including AI-generated backtest performance, is not indicative of future results.
• Is not a substitute for human review. You are solely responsible for the decisions you make using AI Features.

No Automated Decisions With Legal or Similarly Significant Effects

We do not use AI Features to make any automated decision that produces a legal or similarly significant effect on you. We do not use AI to deny services, set prices, restrict accounts, evaluate creditworthiness, profile you for advertising, or make any other significant decision about you without meaningful human review.

Your Inputs to the AI Assistant

When you submit a prompt or message to the AI Assistant, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process that input and your associated account data solely for the purpose of generating a response to your query. We do not use your prompts, account data, or trading data to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model, whether ours or any third party's.

Acceptable Use of AI Features

You agree not to use the AI Features to: (a) generate content that violates applicable law or our Acceptable Use Policy (Section 3); (b) attempt to extract, reverse-engineer, or derive the underlying model, training data, system prompts, or proprietary logic; (c) generate content for the purpose of training a competing AI model; or (d) circumvent any safeguards, refusals, or content filters built into the AI Features.

"AI-Driven" in Our Marketing

When we describe the Services as "AI-driven" or "AI-powered" in marketing, we are referring to (i) the AI Assistant (conversational interface) and (ii) the algorithmic trading strategies (rule-based, not machine-learning). We do not represent that our bots autonomously learn from your trading history, adapt without human configuration, or possess any cognitive capability beyond executing the rules you configure. This disclosure exists to align our marketing language with the actual technical implementation, consistent with U.S. Federal Trade Commission guidance on AI claims.

MT5 Account Integration

When you connect your MetaTrader 5 account to our Services, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

Authorization and Access

• Access authorization: You expressly authorize us to access your MT5 account to execute trades, retrieve account information (including balance, equity, margin, and open positions), monitor positions, and synchronize trade history (up to 365 days of historical data).
• Authority confirmation: You confirm that you are the authorized owner or holder of the MT5 account, that you have the authority to grant us this access, and that doing so does not violate your broker's terms of service or any applicable law.
• Scope of access: Our access to your MT5 account is limited to read operations (viewing account data, positions, and history) and trade operations (opening, modifying, and closing positions). We do not have and will never request withdrawal capabilities, fund transfer access, or account administrative functions on your MT5 account.
• Account switching protection: Our system includes account switch detection. If you switch MT5 accounts while bots are active, all running bots will be automatically stopped to prevent data mixing between different trading accounts. You must manually restart bots after confirming the correct account connection.

Multiple Accounts

You may connect multiple MT5 accounts (including both demo and live accounts) to your AI Trading Bot Account, subject to the limits of your subscription tier. However, only one MT5 account may be designated as the active account at any given time. Bot operations are executed against the active account only.

Credential Security

• Your MT5 account credentials (login number, password, and server address) are encrypted using AES-256 encryption before being stored in our systems. We employ industry-standard encryption practices to protect your credentials at rest.
• On the desktop client application, your MT5 credentials are stored locally in the Windows Credential Manager (system keyring) and are not transmitted to our servers in plaintext.
• You are responsible for the security of your MT5 credentials and should use strong, unique passwords for your MT5 accounts. We recommend not reusing passwords across multiple services.
• We perform a connection test to validate MT5 credentials before saving them. Invalid or expired credentials will be rejected.

Broker Independence

We are an independent software provider and have no affiliation, partnership, endorsement, or agency relationship with MetaQuotes Software Corp., any forex broker, or any financial institution. We do not recommend, endorse, or receive compensation from any broker. Any issues relating to your broker, including trade execution quality, spreads, commissions, swap rates, margin requirements, account freezes, or disputes, are strictly between you and your broker. We bear no responsibility for broker-related issues or failures.

No Discretionary Authority

• Standardized, non-personalized tool. Every strategy and filter is identical for all users who select it. The Company does not collect or assess your individual circumstances for the purpose of recommending a strategy, and gives no individualized advice on the value of, or the advisability of trading, any instrument for you specifically.
• You select and deploy. A strategy runs only because you affirmatively chose it, set its parameters, and activated it on an account you designate. You may start, stop, pause, or modify any bot at any time through the desktop client or web dashboard.
• Rules execute; the Company does not judge your account. Once active, the bot applies the predetermined rules of your selected strategy. The Company does not monitor your account to make discretionary calls, does not decide on your behalf whether market conditions warrant a trade beyond the rules you deployed, and does not override your risk settings.
• No funds, no withdrawal authority. Our access is limited to read operations and trade operations (open, modify, close) on instruments you authorize. We cannot withdraw, transfer, or move funds, and cannot change account-level broker settings.
• Registration status. The Company is not registered with the CFTC or NFA in any capacity. The Services are a standardized software tool — not a managed-account service, an advisory service, or an individualized signal service.

Mobile Applications

We offer a mobile application currently available for iOS on the Apple App Store (Bundle ID ai.autotraderbot.mobile) and an Android application in development for future release on the Google Play Store (applicationId com.aitradingbotmobile). The mobile app is a companion to the web platform and desktop client and is governed by these Terms in addition to the Apple-specific and Google-specific terms below.

Mobile App License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the mobile app on a device that you own or control, solely for your personal monitoring and management of your AI Trading Bot Account. The license terminates automatically on termination of your Account or these Terms.

Scope of Mobile App Functionality

The mobile app is a read-mostly companion to your account. It allows you to view your account dashboard, positions, trade history, signals, economic calendar, and bot status; start and stop bots; configure notification preferences; submit bug reports; and access account settings. The trading bot itself runs on the Windows desktop client, which interfaces directly with your MT5 terminal — trade execution occurs through the desktop client and your broker, not through the mobile app.

Push Notifications

The mobile app may send you push notifications related to trade alerts, bot status, account security, daily summaries, and announcements. You can disable push notifications at any time through your device's notification settings or the in-app notification preferences. Push delivery is provided via Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) on Android and via Apple Push Notification service (Apple) on iOS, subject to those providers' terms and reliability.

Biometric Unlock

The mobile app supports optional biometric unlock (Face ID, Touch ID, or Android equivalent) using the device operating system's secure enclave or trusted execution environment. We never receive or store your biometric data; we receive only a yes/no signal from the device that your biometric matched. You may disable biometric unlock from the app settings at any time.

Mobile App Updates and Compatibility

We may release updates to the mobile app from time to time, including bug fixes, security patches, and new features. Some updates may be required for continued use of the app; we will notify you within the app if an update is required. Older versions of the app may be deprecated and disconnected from the platform with reasonable notice. We do not guarantee compatibility with every device, OS version, or configuration; we will publish minimum supported OS versions in the app stores.

Apple App Store — Required Terms

The following terms apply to your use of the iOS app downloaded from the Apple App Store. If there is any conflict between these Terms and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, the Apple terms will control with respect to your use of the iOS app:

• Acknowledgment: You acknowledge that these Terms are concluded between you and AI Trading Bot LLC only, and not with Apple Inc. AI Trading Bot LLC (not Apple) is solely responsible for the iOS app and its content.
• Scope of license: The license granted to you for the iOS app is limited to a non-transferable license to use the iOS app on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the iOS app may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• Maintenance and support: AI Trading Bot LLC is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the iOS app. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the iOS app.
• Warranty: AI Trading Bot LLC is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the iOS app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the iOS app (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the iOS app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of AI Trading Bot LLC.
• Product claims: AI Trading Bot LLC (not Apple) is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the iOS app or your possession and/or use of the iOS app, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the iOS app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
• Intellectual property rights: In the event of any third-party claim that the iOS app or your possession and use of the iOS app infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, AI Trading Bot LLC (not Apple) will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
• Legal compliance: You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Third-party beneficiary: You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to your license of the iOS app, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
• Developer contact: Questions, complaints, or claims regarding the iOS app should be directed to: AI Trading Bot LLC, support@autotraderbot.ai.

Google Play Store — Distribution Terms

When the Android app becomes available on the Google Play Store, your installation and use of the Android app will additionally be subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. In any conflict between these Terms and the Google Play Terms, the Google Play Terms will control with respect to your use of the Google Play store; these Terms will continue to control with respect to your use of the AI Trading Bot Android app itself.

Mobile-Specific Risk Acknowledgment

Trading-related actions you initiate on the mobile app (e.g., starting or stopping a bot) execute through our backend and the desktop client. Cellular networks, Wi-Fi, push delivery, and mobile OS background-execution policies can delay or interrupt these actions. You should not rely on the mobile app as your sole interface for time-sensitive trading actions. If you need real-time control, use the desktop client or web dashboard.

Subscriptions, Fees, and Payment

Free Trial

Upon registration, you are automatically enrolled in a complimentary fourteen (14) day Free Demo trial period. During the trial, you will have access to a limited set of features as determined by the Free Demo plan. The trial period begins on the date of account registration and expires automatically after fourteen (14) days. We may send you reminder notifications at three (3) days and one (1) day before your trial expires. Upon trial expiration, your active bots will be disabled, and you will need to subscribe to a paid plan to continue using the trading bot features. Each user is entitled to one (1) free trial only; the free trial cannot be restarted or extended unless expressly authorized by an administrator.

Subscription Tiers

We offer multiple paid subscription tiers, each providing different levels of access, features, and capacity. Current tiers include Starter, Professional, Professional Plus, and Professional Max, available on monthly or annual billing cycles. Each tier defines specific entitlements, including but not limited to:

• Maximum number of active trading bots
• Maximum number of connected MT5 accounts
• Maximum number of concurrent open positions
• Available trading strategies
• Access to advanced features and tools

Full details of each subscription tier, including pricing, features, and entitlements, are available on our pricing page. We reserve the right to modify subscription tiers, features, and entitlements at any time with reasonable notice.

Fees and Billing

If you purchase a paid subscription, you must provide complete, accurate, and current billing information through our payment processing partner. You authorize us to charge the payment method you provide ("Payment Method") for all applicable subscription fees and taxes at the rates in effect at the time of each billing cycle. All fees are quoted and charged in United States dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified.

Payment Processing

All payment transactions are processed through Stripe, Inc., a PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment processor. We do not directly store, process, or have access to your full credit card number, debit card number, or bank account details. All payment information is transmitted directly to and securely stored by Stripe in accordance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. Your use of Stripe's services is subject to Stripe's own terms of service and privacy policy.

Automatic Renewal

All paid subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually, as applicable) at the then-current subscription rate, unless you cancel before the renewal date. You will be charged on the same date each billing cycle. It is your responsibility to cancel before the renewal date if you do not wish to continue your subscription.

Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings on the web platform or by contacting support at support@autotraderbot.ai. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to paid features for the remainder of your already-paid billing period. After the billing period ends, your account will revert to an inactive state and active bots will be disabled.

Price Changes

We may change subscription prices at any time upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice delivered via email to your registered email address or through a notice on the Services. Price changes will take effect at the start of your next billing period following the notice period. Your continued use of the Services after a price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing. If you do not agree to the new pricing, you must cancel your subscription before the price change takes effect.

Promotional Codes

We may from time to time issue promotional codes ("Promo Codes") that provide discounts on subscription fees. Promo Codes are subject to specific terms, conditions, and expiration dates set at the time of issuance. Promo Codes have no cash value, are non-transferable, may not be combined with other offers, and may be revoked or modified at our sole discretion. Abuse or fraudulent use of Promo Codes may result in Account termination.

Entitlement Overrides

We reserve the right to grant, modify, or restrict individual user entitlements (such as bot limits or account limits) on a per-user basis at our sole discretion, independent of the user's subscription tier. Such adjustments may be made for promotional purposes, enterprise arrangements, or administrative reasons.

No Refund Policy

Without limiting the foregoing, refunds will not be issued under any circumstances, including but not limited to:

• Subscription fees already paid, whether the subscription period was fully used, partially used, or entirely unused
• Partial month or partial year subscription periods
• Subscription downgrades, cancellations, or plan changes
• Trading losses or negative returns incurred while using our Services
• Dissatisfaction with trading bot performance, strategy results, or market outcomes
• Technical issues, service interruptions, or outages, whether within or beyond our reasonable control
• Failure to cancel your subscription before an automatic renewal date
• Account suspension or termination resulting from your violation of these Terms
• Changes to features, entitlements, or functionality within a subscription tier

If you cancel your subscription, you will retain access to paid features until the end of your current billing period. After the billing period expires, your account will be downgraded and active trading bots will be disabled. No prorated refunds will be issued for the unused portion of any billing period.

Risk Disclosure

By using our Services, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:

• High risk of loss: Forex and CFD trading carries a high level of risk. You may lose more than your initial investment. Leveraged trading positions can result in losses that exceed your deposited funds, particularly with brokers domiciled outside the United States where higher leverage is available.
• Leverage range: The leverage available to you is set by your broker, not by us, and varies by jurisdiction. As a representative range: brokers regulated in the United States by the NFA cap retail leverage at 1:50 on major currency pairs and 1:20 on minors and exotics; brokers regulated in the European Union and United Kingdom cap retail leverage at 1:30 on majors under ESMA / FCA rules; offshore-regulated brokers may offer leverage as high as 1:500 or 1:1000. At 1:500 leverage, an adverse market move of just 0.2 % against your position will consume 100 % of your posted margin and may result in a margin call or stop-out. You should understand the leverage offered by your specific broker before depositing funds.
• No guaranteed profits: We do not guarantee any specific trading results, profits, or returns. No trading strategy, algorithm, or bot can guarantee positive performance. Claims or testimonials about past performance are not guarantees of future results.
• Past performance: Past performance of any trading strategy, algorithm, bot configuration, or backtesting result is not indicative of future results. Historical data and simulated performance have inherent limitations and may not reflect actual trading conditions.
• Hypothetical and simulated performance: Any backtesting, hypothetical, or simulated performance information presented within the Services has inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance, hypothetical results do not represent real trading and may not reflect the impact of material factors such as broker-side latency, slippage, partial fills, requotes, swap, commission, or the trader's emotional reaction to losses. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
• Automated trading risks: Automated trading systems, including our bots, can malfunction, experience delays, execute trades at unintended prices, fail to execute trades, or behave differently than expected due to software errors, configuration issues, data feed problems, or unforeseen market conditions.
• Market conditions: Market conditions, including but not limited to extreme volatility, low liquidity, slippage, price gaps, rapid price movements, and market closures, can significantly and adversely impact trading results and may cause losses regardless of your strategy or bot settings.
• Technical failures: Technical issues such as internet connectivity disruptions, power outages, MT5 platform failures, broker server downtime, data feed interruptions, or our platform maintenance may affect trade execution, monitoring, and management. We are not liable for losses arising from any such technical failures.
• Capital at risk: You should only trade with capital that you can afford to lose entirely without affecting your financial well-being, lifestyle, or ability to meet financial obligations.
• Independent decisions: You are solely and exclusively responsible for all trading decisions, strategy selections, bot configurations, risk parameter settings, and capital allocation. The Company does not make trading decisions on your behalf.

Not Financial Advice

Nothing in our Services, on our website, in our documentation, in our communications, or in any interaction with our personnel or systems constitutes financial, investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice. We are a software provider, not a financial advisor, broker, or fiduciary. Our Services are tools that you configure and operate at your own risk. You should consult with qualified, independent financial, legal, and tax professionals before making any trading or investment decisions. Any information provided through our Services, including trading signals, market data, or performance metrics, is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a basis for trading decisions.

Intellectual Property

The Services, including without limitation all software, source code, object code, algorithms, trading strategies, machine learning models, user interfaces, designs, graphics, icons, layouts, text, documentation, data compilations, APIs, and all other content, materials, and technology used in or forming part of the Services, are the exclusive property of AI Trading Bot LLC and are protected by United States and international intellectual property laws, including copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws.

Limited License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of all applicable subscription fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services solely for your personal, non-commercial trading activities during the term of your active subscription. This license does not convey any ownership rights in the Services and terminates immediately upon expiration or termination of your subscription or Account.

Restrictions

You expressly agree that you will not:

• Copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of our software, algorithms, trading strategies, or any other component of the Services
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, underlying algorithms, or proprietary logic of any part of the Services
• Resell, sublicense, lease, rent, distribute, or commercially exploit the Services or any part thereof, or make the Services available to any third party

THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE AND EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Exceptions to Limitation of Liability

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude either party's liability for:

• Gross negligence or willful misconduct: Liability for gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of either party or its personnel.
• Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation: Liability arising from fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, including fraud in the inducement of these Terms.
• Death or personal injury: Liability for death or personal injury caused by either party's negligence (to the extent applicable law does not permit such a limitation).
• Indemnification obligations: A party's obligations under Section 12 (Indemnification), which are not subject to the liability cap in this Section 11.
• Breach of confidentiality: Either party's intentional or grossly negligent breach of its confidentiality obligations.
• Intellectual property infringement: Either party's infringement, misappropriation, or violation of the other party's intellectual property rights.
• Statutory non-waivable liability: Any liability that, as a matter of applicable law (including consumer-protection statutes), cannot be limited or excluded by contract. Where applicable law permits a partial limitation, this Section shall apply to the maximum extent so permitted.

Some U.S. states and jurisdictions outside the United States do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain damages (including incidental or consequential damages) or implied warranties. To the extent such limitations cannot lawfully be enforced against you, the applicable limitation shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining limitations shall continue in full force and effect.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AI Trading Bot LLC and its affiliates, parent companies, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal costs) arising out of or related to:

• Your access to or use of the Services, including all activities conducted through your Account
• Your trading activities, strategies, decisions, and any resulting financial losses or gains
• Your violation of any provision of these Terms, including the Acceptable Use Policy
• Your violation of any applicable law, regulation, rule, or order in any jurisdiction
• Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or contractual rights
• Any dispute, claim, or proceeding between you and your forex broker, MetaQuotes, or any other third party
• Any content, data, or information you provide or transmit through the Services
• Your negligence, willful misconduct, or fraudulent activity

We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims. You agree not to settle any such claim without our prior written consent.

Our Indemnification of You for IP Infringement

Subject to the limitations in this Section, we will defend you against any third-party claim alleging that your authorized use of the Services (as licensed in Section 9 and configured by you in accordance with these Terms) infringes a U.S. patent, registered copyright, or trademark of that third party, and we will pay any damages or settlement amount finally awarded against you in such a claim, provided that you: (i) promptly notify us in writing of the claim; (ii) give us sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim (provided that we may not settle the claim in a way that imposes a non-monetary obligation on you without your consent, not to be unreasonably withheld); and (iii) provide reasonable cooperation in the defense at our expense.

Our IP indemnification obligation does not apply to claims arising from: (a) your use of the Services in violation of these Terms or applicable law; (b) your combination of the Services with any third-party software, hardware, data, or service that we did not provide; (c) modifications to the Services made by you or on your behalf; (d) your continued use of an allegedly infringing version of the Services after we have made a non-infringing version available; or (e) use of any non-current version of the desktop or mobile client.

If the Services become, or in our reasonable opinion are likely to become, the subject of an infringement claim, we may, at our sole option and expense: (i) modify the Services to be non-infringing; (ii) procure for you the right to continue using the Services as contemplated by these Terms; or (iii) if (i) and (ii) are not commercially reasonable, terminate your subscription and refund any prepaid subscription fees attributable to the unused portion of the then-current term. This paragraph states our entire liability, and your exclusive remedy, for IP infringement claims relating to the Services.

Termination

Termination by You

You may stop using the Services at any time by cancelling your subscription through your account settings and requesting deletion of your Account. To request Account deletion, contact us at support@autotraderbot.ai. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period, during which you will retain access to paid features.

Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without prior notice, if:

• You breach any provision of these Terms, including the Acceptable Use Policy
• We are required to do so by law, regulation, court order, or governmental directive
• We reasonably believe your use of the Services poses a security risk to our systems, other users, or third parties
• Your subscription payment fails, is declined, or is charged back, and the payment issue is not resolved within a reasonable period
• Your Account has been inactive for an extended period and does not hold an active paid subscription
• We determine, in our sole discretion, that your continued access is detrimental to the Services or other users

Effect of Termination

Upon termination or expiration of your Account, whether initiated by you or by us:

• Your right to access and use the Services ceases immediately (or at the end of the billing period, in the case of voluntary cancellation)
• All active trading bots will be stopped and disabled
• Upon Account deletion, all associated data will be subject to cascade deletion, including your profile information, bot configurations, trading history, MT5 account connections, notification preferences, and related records, in accordance with our data retention policy and applicable law
• We are under no obligation to maintain, export, or provide you with copies of your data following Account deletion, unless required by applicable law (in which case, you may exercise the data-portability rights described in our Privacy Policy)

30-Day Recovery Window

When you request Account deletion, we provide a 30-day recovery window during which:

• Your account is marked for deletion and access is suspended (you cannot log in, the bots are stopped, and the API and mobile app return "account-suspended" responses)
• Your data remains in our systems in a deactivated state and is not yet purged
• You may contact support@autotraderbot.ai to cancel the deletion and restore the account
• No new trading activity occurs on your account during this window

After 30 days, we permanently delete or anonymize your data on the schedule described in the Privacy Policy — Data Retention section. Some data (such as payment-history records required for tax compliance) may be retained beyond the recovery window solely to the extent and for the period required by applicable law.

If you wish to skip the 30-day recovery window and request immediate hard deletion to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, indicate "Immediate Deletion Requested" in your deletion request. We will still retain only data required by legal retention obligations.

Surviving Provisions

The following sections shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms: Section 3 (Acceptable Use Policy), Section 4b (AI Features — Limitations and Output), Section 5b (Mobile Applications — Apple App Store Required Terms only), Section 7 (No Refund Policy), Section 8 (Risk Disclosure), Section 9 (Intellectual Property), Section 10 (Disclaimer of Warranties), Section 11 (Limitation of Liability), Section 12 (Indemnification), Section 15 (Data Security), Section 16 (General Terms), and Section 17 (Dispute Resolution — Arbitration Agreement).

Communications and Integrations

Transactional and Service-Related Email Communications

By creating an Account, you consent to receive the following transactional and service-related emails from us. These emails are required to operate your Account and cannot be opted out of while your Account is active:

• Account registration confirmation and email verification codes
• Two-factor authentication codes
• Password reset instructions and account-security alerts (login from a new device, password changed)
• Subscription welcome, renewal failure, and cancellation confirmations
• Trial expiration reminders (sent at three days and one day before expiry)
• Material changes to these Terms or the Privacy Policy
• Important service announcements with safety, security, or regulatory implications

Optional Notification Emails

The following emails are optional and can be enabled or disabled through your notification settings. They default to enabled but you may opt out at any time:

• Daily trading performance summaries
• Per-trade alerts (entry, exit, breakeven, trailing stop)
• Bot status alerts (started, stopped, error)
• Economic-event reminders

Marketing and Promotional Communications

We may send you marketing or promotional emails (such as feature announcements, educational content, or special offers) only if you have affirmatively opted in to receive them, either at registration or through your notification settings. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any such email, by updating your notification settings, or by contacting support@autotraderbot.ai. Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not affect your receipt of transactional emails described above. Marketing emails comply with the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and, where applicable, the European Union ePrivacy Directive's opt-in requirements.

Telegram Integration

We operate a Telegram bot that provides support functionality and signal notifications. The Telegram integration operates in a stateless manner and does not link to your AI Trading Bot Account. Use of Telegram is subject to Telegram's own terms of service. We are not responsible for Telegram's availability, data practices, or any actions taken by Telegram.

Desktop Client Communications

The desktop client application maintains a persistent connection to our servers through periodic heartbeat signals (approximately every 30 seconds). These heartbeats transmit your account status, client application version, and bot operational status to ensure synchronization between the client and server. The desktop client also checks for software updates approximately every 24 hours and will notify you when a new version is available for download.

Data Security Commitment

We take the security of your data seriously and implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information. While no system can guarantee absolute security, we employ the following safeguards:

Encryption

• Data at rest: Sensitive data, including MT5 account passwords and two-factor authentication secrets, is encrypted using AES-256 encryption before being stored in our databases.
• Password hashing: User account passwords are hashed using the bcrypt algorithm with a cryptographic work factor of 12 rounds. We never store passwords in plaintext and cannot retrieve your original password.
• Data in transit: All data transmitted between your browser or desktop client and our servers is protected using TLS/SSL encryption (HTTPS). Unencrypted HTTP connections are automatically redirected to HTTPS.

Access Controls and Security Measures

• Rate limiting: API endpoints are protected by rate limiting to prevent brute-force attacks and abuse.
• Account lockout: Accounts are temporarily locked after repeated failed login attempts (see Section 2).
• Security headers: Our web platform implements comprehensive security headers, including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
• CAPTCHA protection: We may employ reCAPTCHA v2 on login and registration pages to prevent automated abuse.
• Session management: User sessions are protected with HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite cookie attributes to prevent session hijacking and cross-site request forgery.

General Terms

Changes to Services

We reserve the right to modify, update, suspend, or discontinue the Services, or any features, functionality, or content thereof, at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. We will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes when feasible. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.

Changes to Terms

We may revise, amend, or update these Terms at our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you via email to your registered email address or through a prominent notice on the Services at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any changes constitutes your binding acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services and cancel your subscription before the changes take effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal documents or policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and AI Trading Bot LLC regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and warranties, whether written or oral, with respect to the Services.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity of any provision shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.

No Waiver

Our failure or delay in exercising or enforcing any right, remedy, or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right, remedy, or provision. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude any further or other exercise of that right or remedy, or the exercise of any other right or remedy. A waiver of any right or provision shall be effective only if made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company.

Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or any of your rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. We may freely assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations hereunder without restriction and without notice to you, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, or failures of third-party service providers (including MT5 platforms, brokers, payment processors, and cloud infrastructure providers).

Dispute Resolution — Arbitration Agreement

(a) Governing Law

These Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or your relationship with the Company shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) with respect to this Section 17, and otherwise by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles, choice of law rules, or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

(b) Informal Resolution Required Before Arbitration

Before initiating an arbitration, you and AI Trading Bot LLC agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. You must send a written "Notice of Dispute" to support@autotraderbot.ai with the subject line "Notice of Dispute" describing (i) the nature of the dispute, (ii) the relief sought, (iii) your name, account email, and contact information. We will respond within thirty (30) days. If we cannot resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days of receipt of your Notice of Dispute, either party may proceed to arbitration. Filing a Notice of Dispute is a prerequisite to commencing arbitration.

(c) Binding Individual Arbitration

Except for disputes carved out in subsection (g) below, you and AI Trading Bot LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services — whether based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory — shall be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (for claims of less than US$250,000) or its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (for larger claims), in effect at the time arbitration is initiated. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitrator's award is final and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Class Action Waiver

You and AI Trading Bot LLC each agree that any arbitration or other proceeding shall be conducted only on an individual basis, and not as a class, collective, consolidated, mass, or representative action. Neither party may bring a claim on behalf of, or seek relief on behalf of, any person who is not a party to the arbitration. The arbitrator shall not consolidate any other person's claim with yours and shall not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court or arbitrator determines that this class-action waiver is unenforceable as to any particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) shall be severed from the arbitration and brought in court — the remainder of this Section 17 shall remain in effect for all other claims.

(e) Arbitration Procedure

• Location: The arbitration will be conducted in Fairfax County, Virginia, or, at your election, in your county of residence within the United States, or by telephone or video conference for claims under US$25,000.
• Language: English.
• Arbitrator selection: A single arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the JAMS rules.
• Fees: Filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be allocated as provided by the JAMS rules; we will pay all such fees to the extent required to make this Section enforceable. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees and costs, except that the arbitrator may award attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party where authorized by applicable law.
• Discovery: Discovery in arbitration shall be more limited than in court litigation, consistent with the streamlined nature of arbitration.
• Award: The arbitrator may grant any remedy or relief that would be available in court under applicable law, including injunctive and declaratory relief on an individual basis, but may not award any relief that conflicts with this Section.

(f) Mass Arbitration Procedure

If 50 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against AI Trading Bot LLC by the same or coordinated counsel within a 60-day period, the parties will follow JAMS's mass-arbitration procedures (or such other reasonable batching procedures as JAMS adopts) to facilitate efficient and fair resolution. This subsection does not waive any party's right to individual arbitration of their claim.

(g) Carve-Outs — What Is NOT Subject to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following disputes are excluded from this Arbitration Agreement and may be brought in court (or, for small claims, in small claims court):

• Small claims: Either party may bring an individual action in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction in your county of residence, so long as the claim is within the jurisdictional limits of that court and is brought individually.
• Intellectual property & injunctive relief: Either party may bring a court action seeking injunctive or other equitable relief for actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights, trade secrets, or this Section 17 itself.
• Statutory exceptions: Disputes that cannot, as a matter of applicable law, be subject to a pre-dispute arbitration agreement (for example, certain claims under the U.S. Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, or other non-waivable statutory carve-outs).

For court proceedings under this subsection, the parties consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia and the Eastern District of Virginia (Alexandria Division), and waive any objection to venue.

(h) Right to Opt Out of Arbitration — 30 Days

You have the right to opt out of this Section 17 (Arbitration Agreement & Class Waiver) by sending a written notice within thirty (30) days after the date on which you first agreed to these Terms (or, for current users, within 30 days of the effective date of the version of these Terms that first included this Section). To opt out, email support@autotraderbot.ai with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and include: (i) your full legal name, (ii) the email address associated with your account, (iii) a clear statement that you are opting out of the Arbitration Agreement. Upon timely receipt of a valid opt-out notice, this Section 17 will not apply to disputes between you and us, but all other terms of these Terms will continue to apply. Your opt-out will not affect any other agreements between you and us.

(i) Limitation Period

Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms, the Services, or your use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the date on which such claim or cause of action first arose, unless applicable law prohibits the contractual shortening of the statute of limitations — in which case the shortest period permitted by applicable law shall apply. Any claim not filed within the applicable period shall be permanently barred.

(j) Severability of This Section

If any part of this Section 17 (other than the Class Action Waiver in subsection (d)) is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Section 17 shall remain in effect. If the Class Action Waiver in subsection (d) is held to be unenforceable as to a particular claim, then only that specific claim shall be severed from arbitration and litigated in court — the remainder of this Section 17 shall continue to apply to all other claims.

(k) Survival

This Section 17 survives termination of your Account and these Terms.
