Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the trading.bot platform (“Service”), operated by trading.bot (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or an in-app notice at least fourteen (14) days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after any modification constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Nature of Service

trading.bot is a software platform that provides informational tools for tracking and copying trades made by high-volume participants (“whales”) on the Polymarket prediction-market protocol. The Service includes paper-trading simulation, live-trading execution, and AI-powered market analysis.

trading.bot is NOT a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, financial planner, or fiduciary. The Service is an information and execution tool only. We do not manage your funds, make investment decisions on your behalf, or provide personalized financial advice.

3. Not Financial Advice

4. Eligibility

To use the Service you must:

1. Be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater.
2. Reside in and access the Service from a jurisdiction where participation in prediction markets is not prohibited or restricted by applicable law.
3. Not be located in, or a citizen or resident of, any jurisdiction that is the subject of comprehensive sanctions administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions.
4. Not be listed on, or owned or controlled by any person listed on, the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by OFAC or any similar sanctions list maintained by another government authority.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you satisfy all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. We may, at our sole discretion, refuse service, terminate accounts, or restrict access to any user who does not meet these requirements.

5. Paper Trading vs. Live Trading

The Service offers two distinct operating modes:

5.1 Paper Trading

Paper trading is a simulated trading environment where you begin with a virtual balance of $10,000. No real money is used or at risk during paper trading. Simulated results attempt to approximate real market conditions, including estimated slippage, but they are not guaranteed to reflect actual outcomes. Paper trading performance is not indicative of future live-trading results.

5.2 Live Trading

Live trading executes real transactions on the Polymarket protocol using your deposited funds and private key. Once you switch to live mode, trades are executed with real money and may result in real financial loss. We recommend completing at least 50 paper trades before activating live trading. The decision to go live is entirely yours.

6. Assumption of Risk

By using the Service, you expressly acknowledge and accept the following risks:

1. Prediction Market Risk. Prediction markets are volatile and speculative. You may lose some or all of the funds you commit to live trading.
2. Copy-Trading Risk. Past performance of whale traders does not guarantee future results. The traders you follow may incur losses, and the Service will replicate those losses proportionally.
3. Auto-Execution Risk. When auto-copy is enabled, trades are executed automatically without requiring your approval for each individual transaction. This may result in trades you would not have manually approved.
4. Slippage and Execution Risk. Market conditions may change between the time a whale executes a trade and the time your copy trade is placed. This delay may result in different prices, partial fills, or failed executions.
5. Irreversible Blockchain Transactions. Transactions executed on the blockchain are final and irreversible. Neither trading.bot nor any third party can reverse a completed on-chain transaction.
6. Smart Contract Risk. The Polymarket protocol and underlying smart contracts may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or be subject to exploits that could result in loss of funds.
7. Regulatory Risk. The legal status of prediction markets varies by jurisdiction and may change. Regulatory developments may restrict, limit, or prohibit your ability to use the Service or access your funds.

7. Private Key Provisions

To enable live trading, you provide your Polymarket wallet private key. By submitting your private key, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. Encryption. Your private key is encrypted using AES-256-GCM before storage. The key is stored only in its encrypted form in our database.
2. Decryption for Execution. Your private key is decrypted in memory solely at the moment of trade execution and is not persisted in its decrypted form.
3. Grant of Execution Permission. By providing your private key, you grant trading.bot permission to sign and submit transactions on your behalf in accordance with your configured copy-trading settings (including auto-copy, delay parameters, position-size limits, and daily loss limits).
4. Recommendation. We strongly recommend that you use a dedicated Polymarket wallet containing only the funds you are willing to risk, rather than a wallet holding your entire portfolio.
5. No Guarantee of Security. While we implement industry-standard security practices, no system is completely immune to compromise. You acknowledge that providing your private key carries inherent risk.

8. Subscription, Billing, and Cancellation

8.1 Pricing

The Service is offered on a subscription basis. New subscribers receive an introductory rate of $9 per month for the first billing cycle. After the introductory period, your subscription automatically renews at the standard rate of $49 per month.

8.4 Price Changes

We may change subscription pricing at any time. Price changes will be communicated at least thirty (30) days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

9. Limitation of Liability

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:

4. Any trading losses incurred through the Service, whether in paper or live mode.

11. OFAC and Sanctions Compliance

You represent and warrant that you are not subject to, and will not use the Service in violation of, any applicable economic or trade sanctions laws, including those administered by OFAC, the European Union, and the United Kingdom.

We reserve the right to screen users against applicable sanctions lists and to immediately suspend or terminate any account that we reasonably believe is associated with a sanctioned person or jurisdiction. You agree to cooperate with any compliance inquiries and to provide any information we may reasonably request to verify your eligibility.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, including but not limited to the following circumstances:

1. Violation of these Terms or any applicable law.
2. Failure to satisfy eligibility requirements, including sanctions compliance.
3. Conduct that we reasonably believe is harmful to other users, the Company, or third parties.
4. Extended period of inactivity.
5. Request by law enforcement or a government agency.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We are not liable for any losses arising from termination. Any provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 13.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to venue therein.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

15.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

15.3 Waiver

The failure of the Company to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
