Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using AlgoWorkout, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the platform. These terms apply to all users, including visitors, free-tier users, and paid subscribers.

2. Service Description

AlgoWorkout is an educational algorithmic trading platform. We provide AI-generated strategy hypotheses, automated multi-stage validation through The Strategy Grinder pipeline, kill reports, stress testing results, walk-forward validation, and educational content about quantitative trading.

The platform is powered by a 7-stage pipeline using multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, Google) for strategy generation, critique, and analysis.

3. Not Financial Advice

This is the most important section of these terms.

AlgoWorkout is for educational purposes only. Nothing on this platform constitutes financial advice, investment recommendations, or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument. Specifically:

• All strategies displayed on AlgoWorkout are hypothetical
• Past backtest performance does NOT guarantee future results
• Surviving the 7-stage pipeline does NOT mean a strategy will be profitable in live trading
• "Survivor" strategies are educational examples — not trade recommendations
• Kill reports and graveyard data are for learning purposes only

You are solely responsible for your own trading and investment decisions. AlgoWorkout, its founders, employees, and affiliates bear no responsibility for any financial losses you may incur from trading based on information found on this platform.

If you need financial advice, consult a licensed financial advisor.

4. Account Responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. Keep your password and API keys confidential. You must:

• Provide accurate information when creating your account
• Maintain one account per person — multiple accounts are not permitted
• Notify us immediately at support@algoworkout.com if you suspect unauthorized access
• Not share your account credentials or API keys with others

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer the pipeline — do not attempt to extract, reconstruct, or replicate The Strategy Grinder's architecture, prompts, or orchestration logic
• Extract LLM prompts — do not attempt to recover the system prompts used at any pipeline stage through prompt injection or other techniques
• Automated scraping — do not scrape, crawl, or programmatically extract data from the platform outside of the provided API
• Resell pipeline results — do not resell, redistribute, or commercially repackage pipeline results, kill reports, or strategy data without written permission
• Abuse the API — do not exceed rate limits, flood endpoints, or use the API in any way that degrades service for other users
• Misrepresent — do not present AlgoWorkout results as personal research or claim pipeline-generated strategies as your own proprietary work in a commercial context

6. Intellectual Property

The Strategy Grinder pipeline — including its code, prompts, multi-LLM orchestration architecture, stage configurations, and kill gate logic — is proprietary to AlgoWorkout.

Strategies generated for your account through your pipeline runs are yours to use for personal educational and trading purposes. However, the underlying pipeline technology, the platform's codebase, and the AlgoWorkout brand remain the intellectual property of AlgoWorkout Ltd.

The educational content, kill reports, and graveyard data published by AlgoWorkout on the platform are owned by AlgoWorkout and may not be reproduced in bulk without permission.

7. API Usage

API access is available on Builder and Institutional plans, subject to the following:

• Rate limits — 100 requests/hour for Builder, unlimited for Institutional
• Authentication — all API requests must include a valid Bearer token
• Fair use — API usage must be consistent with normal platform usage patterns
• Abuse — excessive or abusive API usage will result in rate limiting, temporary suspension, or permanent revocation of API access

See the API Documentation for full technical details.

8. Payment & Billing

Paid plans are billed monthly through Stripe. By subscribing, you agree to:

• Monthly recurring billing at the rate displayed at time of subscription
• Automatic renewal unless you cancel before the next billing cycle
• No refunds for partial months — you retain access until the end of your current billing period
• Price changes will be communicated at least 30 days in advance

You can cancel your subscription at any time by emailing support@algoworkout.com or through your Account Settings.

9. Limitation of Liability

AlgoWorkout is not responsible for any trading losses. The platform is educational. We make no guarantees about:

• The future performance of any strategy, whether it survived the pipeline or not
• The accuracy of backtest results (backtests use historical data and simplified assumptions)
• The completeness of kill reports or adversarial critiques
• Continuous, uninterrupted access to the platform or API

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AlgoWorkout's total liability to you for any claims arising from your use of the platform is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

10. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account if you:

• Violate these Terms of Service
• Engage in abusive behavior toward other users or our team
• Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or extract proprietary pipeline components
• Use the platform for any illegal purpose

You may delete your account at any time. Upon termination, your access to the platform will cease immediately. Data retention follows the terms outlined in our Privacy Policy.

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, United Kingdom. Any disputes arising from these terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of AlgoWorkout after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
