1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using TradeVibe ("the Platform"), operated by TradeVibe LLC ("we", "us", "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
2. Description of Service
TradeVibe provides a copy trading platform that connects strategy publishers with subscribers. The Platform facilitates the replication of trading signals from a master account to subscriber accounts via Rithmic-compatible brokers (including Apex Trader Funding, Lucid, and others). We do not operate as a broker, custodian, or investment advisor.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally permitted to trade futures in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Platform complies with all applicable laws and regulations. You must hold a valid brokerage account with a Rithmic-compatible provider.
4. Account Registration
You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information during registration. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
5. Subscription Plans and Billing
Paid plans (Copier, Trader, Builder, Pro) are billed monthly via Stripe. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the billing date. You can manage your subscription through the Settings page or Stripe billing portal. Price changes will be communicated at least 30 days in advance. No prorated refunds for partial billing periods unless required by law.
6. Copy Trading
Copy trading replicates signals from strategy publishers to your brokerage account. Each trade executed on your account is a real order placed with real money. You acknowledge that: (a) past performance does not guarantee future results, (b) you may lose some or all of your capital, (c) you are solely responsible for the activity on your brokerage account, and (d) TradeVibe does not provide personalized investment advice.
7. No Investment Advice / Regulatory Status
Nothing on the Platform constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All strategies, signals, analytics, and market data are provided for informational purposes only. You should consult a qualified financial advisor before making trading decisions.
TradeVibe is a technology platform that facilitates signal distribution. We are not registered as an investment advisor, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor (CTA), or commodity pool operator (CPO) with the CFTC or NFA. We do not exercise discretion over your account. You initiate, configure, and can terminate copy trading at any time. We do not manage funds, hold customer assets, or make trading decisions on your behalf.
8. Strategy Publishers
If you publish strategies on the Marketplace, you represent that your strategies are based on legitimate trading logic and that any historical performance data you provide is accurate. Publishers receive revenue share (80/20 split) for subscriber fees. We reserve the right to remove strategies that are misleading, fraudulent, or consistently harmful to subscribers.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, TradeVibe shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to: trading losses, lost profits, data loss, or business interruption. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid to TradeVibe in the 12 months preceding the claim. This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise).
10. Service Availability
We strive to maintain continuous service but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Platform may be unavailable during maintenance windows, system upgrades, or unforeseen outages. We are not liable for trading losses resulting from service interruptions, connection failures, or data delays. Trading systems depend on multiple third-party services (Rithmic, brokers, internet providers) that are outside our control.
11. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to: (a) use the Platform for illegal purposes, (b) attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code, (c) interfere with or disrupt the Platform, (d) share account credentials, (e) scrape or harvest data, (f) impersonate other users, or (g) use automated tools to abuse the Platform beyond its intended API.
12. Intellectual Property
All content, code, strategies, analytics, and branding on the Platform are owned by TradeVibe or its licensors. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission. Strategy publishers retain ownership of their strategies but grant us a license to display and distribute them on the Marketplace.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for violation of these terms, with or without notice. You may cancel your account at any time through the Settings page. Upon termination, all active copy trading assignments will be deactivated. Open positions at the time of termination remain your responsibility.
14. Modifications
We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notification at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance.
15. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
