Terms of Service.
These terms summarize how SigmaX may be used. They apply to this website and, together with any order-specific agreement, to paid engagements. Where an order agreement and these terms conflict, the order agreement controls for that engagement.
SigmaX provides research software, execution simulation, strategy-analysis tools, and transaction-cost analytics. SigmaX does not provide investment advice. SigmaX does not place trades or manage client capital. Shadow/simulated/paper/backtested results are not live trading results. No result is a guarantee of future performance. Human approval is required before any trade.
What SigmaX is (and is not)
SigmaX is research software and analytics. We turn trade ideas, bot signals, backtests, and execution logs into Canary Cards, cost waterfalls, mutation paths, and transaction-cost analytics. SigmaX is not an investment adviser, broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, or other registered financial intermediary; not a source of investment advice, personalized recommendations, or “signals”; not a manager or custodian of client capital, accounts, keys, or wallets; and not a trade-execution service. Nothing on our surfaces is an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset, instrument, or strategy.
No investment advice
The services are provided for informational and analytical purposes only. They do not constitute investment, legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice and are not tailored to your situation, objectives, or risk tolerance. You are solely responsible for your own decisions and should consult your own qualified advisers. We are not a fiduciary to you.
Hypothetical, simulated, and backtested results
A material portion of SigmaX output is hypothetical, simulated, shadow, paper, or backtested. Such results are not actual performance, are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight, and cannot fully account for real-world execution. No result is a guarantee of, or reliable indicator of, future performance. See the full Disclaimer.
Human approval is required before any trade
The services produce analysis, not orders. You must independently review and approve any trade before it is placed, and you (or your chosen venue) are the party that places it. SigmaX has no authority over your capital and exercises none. No automated SigmaX output constitutes authorization to trade.
Payments, billing, and the source of truth for access
- Processor. Payments are handled by Stripe. We do not collect or store your full card details. Your use of checkout is also subject to Stripe’s terms.
- Source of truth. Access and entitlements are granted only when we receive and verify a checkout.session.completed event (and, for subscriptions, an active subscription) from Stripe via our server-side webhook. A payment-confirmation / success page is informational only and does not grant access.
- Configuration gating. If checkout is not configured, the checkout control is disabled and we offer a “book a call” alternative. We will never represent a purchase as completed when it has not been.
- Recurring vs one-time. Memberships and retainers are recurring (monthly) and renew automatically until cancelled; quotas reset on the billing-period boundary. One-time engagements are charged once for the stated deliverable. Prices are as stated in the operator-locked catalog at time of purchase. Taxes may apply.
- Cancellation. You may cancel a recurring plan effective at the end of the current paid period; access continues until then. Refund terms are set out in the applicable order agreement.
Your content; confidentiality
Ideas, strategy descriptions, bot configurations, backtests, fill logs, and files you submit remain yours. We treat them as confidential. We do not trade your ideas or signals, and we do not share your content except as needed to provide the services to you, or as required by law. You grant us a limited license to use your content solely to perform the services you purchased and to maintain provenance and reproducibility records. Subject to payment, deliverables are for your internal use; our underlying software, methods, models, and templates remain ours.
Acceptable use
You will not use the services for unlawful purposes, market manipulation, fraud, or any prohibited trading practice; attempt to obtain trade execution, capital management, or fiduciary services from us (we provide none); reverse engineer, scrape, or resell the services; exceed your entitlement quotas or seats; or upload content you lack the right to share. You are responsible for your own legal and regulatory compliance.
Third-party data, venues, and services
The services may reference or incorporate third-party data, exchanges, venues, and tools. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party data accuracy, availability, fees, or terms. Venue fee tiers, funding rates, and liquidity change and are requested from you or modeled explicitly — we do not access your venue accounts or capital.
No warranty
The services and all deliverables are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that any analysis is correct, complete, or profitable, or that the services will be uninterrupted or error-free.
Limitation of liability; indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SigmaX and its personnel will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for any trading or investment losses, lost profits, or lost data, arising from or related to the services or your trading decisions. Liability caps and any jurisdictional carve-outs are set out in the applicable order agreement. You will indemnify and hold harmless SigmaX and its personnel from claims, losses, and expenses arising from your use of the services, your content, your trading decisions, or your breach of these terms.
Changes; suspension; termination
We may modify the services or these terms; material changes will be communicated as required by law. We may suspend or terminate access for breach, non-payment, or risk reasons. You may stop using the services at any time; cancellation of recurring plans is governed by the payments section above.
Governing law; disputes
The governing law, venue, and dispute-resolution terms applicable to a paid engagement are set out in the applicable order agreement. For questions about these terms, contact us below.
This page is a summary for convenience and is not legal advice. The specific terms that govern a paid engagement are those in the applicable order agreement together with these terms. See also our Disclosures and Disclaimer.
