Terms and conditions

Eligibility

You may use the Service only if all of the following are true:

• You are at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your country of residence, whichever is higher.
• You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.
• You are not located in, or a resident of, a country subject to comprehensive sanctions imposed by the European Union, United Kingdom, or United States (and you are not on any sanctions list of those jurisdictions).
• Your use of the Service does not violate any law applicable to you, including any laws governing futures trading, financial services, or use of the third-party services you connect to TickProof.

We may, at our discretion, refuse to provide the Service or terminate accounts that do not meet these criteria.

What the Service is — and what it is not

TickProof is a software tool for journaling and analysing your futures trading activity and, optionally, sharing verified summaries of your performance.

The Service is not:

• A broker, exchange, or trading venue
• A proprietary trading firm
• A registered investment adviser, commodity trading adviser, commodity pool operator, or any other regulated financial entity
• A source of financial, investment, trading, tax, legal, or other professional advice
• A signal service, copy-trading service, or any other service that recommends or executes trades on your behalf

We do not control, route, execute, clear, or settle trades. Trades happen entirely on your broker or prop firm platform. TickProof reads data about trades you have already placed.

You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions, your compliance with your broker's and prop firm's rules, and any tax or regulatory obligations that apply to you.

Your account

To use most features of the Service, you must create an account. When you do, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information
• Keep your login credentials confidential
• Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised access to your account
• Be responsible for everything that happens through your account

You may only create one account per person unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing. You may not transfer your account to another person.

Connecting third-party accounts

The Service lets you connect third-party accounts — most commonly broker or proprietary trading firm accounts (initially Tradovate; others such as NinjaTrader® and additional brokers may be added). When you connect a third-party account:

• You authorise TickProof to read trade and account data on your behalf via the third party's authorised API
• You confirm that you have the right to grant this authorisation and that doing so does not breach any agreement you have with the third party
• You can revoke this access at any time through your TickProof account settings or directly through the third-party service

We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, terms, or policies of any third-party broker, prop firm, or platform. Your relationship with each third-party service is governed by the agreement between you and that service.

Verified shares

TickProof Verified Shares let you create a public verification page that displays performance information drawn from your connected account(s), signed against the source data and accompanied by a QR code that anyone can scan to confirm the figures.

By creating a verified share you agree that:

• The verification page is publicly accessible to anyone with the link or QR code, including search engines that may index it
• The page must display the full trade list for the period shown, in line with NinjaTrader's vendor compliance rules — verified shares cannot be cherry-picked
• The page is clearly labelled with the underlying account type (Live, Evaluation, or Paper / Simulation)
• The page is auto-refreshed from your source account and is required to remain current; pages that cannot be refreshed within 90 days will expire automatically
• You will not use verified shares to mislead, defraud, or harm any person, including by presenting evaluation or paper-account performance as live performance

You retain ownership of the trade data underlying your verified shares. You grant TickProof a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, format, and process this data solely as necessary to operate the Service, render the public verification page, and provide the verification functionality. This licence ends when you delete the verified share.

We may remove any verified share that, in our reasonable judgement, breaches these Terms, the Risk Disclosure, or applicable law.

Pricing

The core TickProof product is offered free of charge. We currently expect to introduce an optional paid tier (“TickProof Power”) for users with five or more connected accounts. Any paid tier will:

• Be clearly labelled and priced before you subscribe
• Be optional — you may continue to use the free tier without subscribing
• Be governed by additional terms specific to the paid plan, which will be presented to you at signup

We may change the pricing or feature set of any plan in future. We will notify subscribers of material changes that affect them before those changes take effect.

Affiliate relationships

TickProof participates in affiliate programs with some of the proprietary trading firms and platforms listed on the Service (including NinjaTrader). If you sign up with a partner through a link on TickProof, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not influence:

• Which firms or platforms we support in the product
• How rule tracking is calculated for any firm
• The verification logic behind verified shares

We disclose our affiliate relationships in line with the FTC and applicable consumer-protection requirements. The full affiliate disclosure is included in the Risk Disclosure.

Acceptable use

You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation
• Use the Service to misrepresent your trading performance, deceive other users, or impersonate any person
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape, crawl, or otherwise extract source code or non-public data from the Service, except where this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or breach any security or authentication measures
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or the servers and networks that host it
• Use any automated system (bot, spider, script) to access the Service in a way that sends more requests to our servers than a typical human user could reasonably produce
• Use the Service to send spam or unsolicited communications
• Resell, sublicense, or otherwise make the Service available to any third party, except as expressly permitted in these Terms
• Use the Service in any way that infringes the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person
• Use the Service to facilitate or carry out trade copying, signal-following, or any form of managed-trading offered to third parties

We may suspend or terminate access for any breach of this section, with or without notice depending on the severity.

Intellectual property

Our rights

TickProof, the tickproof.io website, the TickProof product, the TickProof name and logo, and all related software, designs, text, graphics, and other materials are the property of Centaurian OU or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your own internal use. No other rights are granted by implication or otherwise.

Your rights in your data

You retain all rights in your trading data, notes, screenshots, and other content you submit to the Service (“Your Content”). You grant TickProof a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, format, transmit, and display Your Content as necessary to operate and improve the Service and to provide the features you use (including verified shares, exports, and analytics). This licence ends when you delete Your Content, except to the extent we are required to retain it by law or to defend legal claims.

Feedback

If you give us feedback or suggestions about the Service, you grant us an unrestricted, royalty-free licence to use, develop, and incorporate that feedback without obligation to you.

Trademarks of third parties

NinjaTrader® and Kinetick® are registered trademarks of NinjaTrader Group, LLC. Tradovate, Apex Trader Funding, MyFundedFutures, Take Profit Trader, Bulenox, and other brand names referenced on the Service are the property of their respective owners. References to these brands do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation, except where expressly stated.

Third-party services

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party websites, services, or content that we do not own or control (for example, broker platforms, prop firm websites, payment processors, and analytics providers). We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, terms, privacy practices, or any other aspect of those third-party services. Your use of any third-party service is at your own risk and is governed by the terms of that service.

Disclaimers

Trading risk

Trading futures involves substantial risk and is not appropriate for every person. You could lose all of the money you put at risk, and potentially more. You should only trade with risk capital — money you can afford to lose without affecting your financial security or lifestyle. Past performance, including any performance displayed via verified shares, is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Not advice

Nothing on the Service constitutes financial, investment, trading, tax, legal, or other professional advice. The Service does not provide personalised recommendations of any kind. Any information you see on the Service — including in another user's verified shares — is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as the basis for any trading or investment decision. Consult a licensed adviser before making any financial decision.

Data accuracy

We aim to display accurate data from your connected accounts, but we depend on third-party APIs that may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable. The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all such warranties.

Nothing in this section limits any warranty or right you have that cannot be excluded under applicable law (including, where applicable, mandatory consumer-protection rules under Estonian or EU law).

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages of any kind, including loss of profits, loss of trading opportunity, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or loss of business — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
• Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you have paid us in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to liability, or (b) €100.

Nothing in this section limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including:

• Liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence
• Liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
• Liability for gross negligence or intentional misconduct
• Any liability under mandatory consumer-protection rules of Estonia, the European Union, or your country of residence as a consumer

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Centaurian OU, its directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or applicable law
• Your Content, including any verified shares you create
• Your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property or privacy right
• Your breach of any agreement you have with a broker, prop firm, or other third party connected to the Service

This indemnity does not apply to claims arising from our own breach of these Terms, our gross negligence, or our intentional misconduct.

Suspension and termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time, with or without reason, through your account settings or by emailing [email protected].

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service:

• For any breach of these Terms
• If we reasonably believe your use of the Service exposes us or other users to legal, regulatory, security, or reputational risk
• If we are required to do so by law
• If we discontinue the Service (in which case we will give reasonable advance notice where practicable)

On termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will continue to apply.

Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may change the Service from time to time — including adding features, removing features, and changing how features work. We may also update these Terms. When we make material changes to these Terms, we will notify you by email (if you have given us your email) or by a prominent notice on the Service before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of the change means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service before the changes take effect.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Estonia, except that:

• If you are a consumer in the European Union, you may also bring proceedings in the country where you are resident, and you benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence.
• The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform is available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr for consumer disputes.

Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Risk Disclosure, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. They replace any prior agreement on the same subject.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms or any of your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on reasonable notice.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, government action, network or power outages, or third-party service failures.
• Notices. We may give you notice by email (using the address you have provided to us) or by posting on the Service. You can give us notice at [email protected].
• No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us.
