By downloading, installing, launching, or otherwise accessing the Service in any manner, you agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must not use the Service.

No Financial Advice — Use at Your Own Risk
Critical Disclaimer: Traders Vault is a software tool for personal record-keeping and trading organisation only. Nothing within the Service — including but not limited to the application, website, bot features, signals, analytics, calculators, copy-trade tools, journal prompts, strategy suggestions, or any other feature — constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, tax advice, or any other form of professional counsel.
Vaulted Desk is not a registered financial adviser, broker, dealer, investment company, or regulated financial services provider under the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), or any other regulatory body in any jurisdiction worldwide. We do not hold and have never held any financial services licence, authorisation, or registration.
You expressly acknowledge and agree that:
- All features of the Service are informational and educational tools only. They are not personalised recommendations, solicitations, or offers to buy or sell any financial instrument.
- Any trading decisions you make are entirely your own responsibility. You must exercise your own independent judgement and, where appropriate, seek advice from a qualified, regulated financial professional before making any trading or investment decision.
- Bot features, automated signals, signal sharing, and any algorithmic or automated tools within the Service are provided strictly for convenience and informational purposes. They do not constitute trading recommendations. Any bot, signal, or automated feature you use is done entirely at your own risk.
- Past performance data, statistics, P&L figures, analytics, or projections displayed within the Service are historical or user-inputted data only. They are not indicative of future results and should not be relied upon for making financial decisions.
- Vaulted Desk and its founders, employees, agents, affiliates, and partners accept no liability whatsoever for any financial loss, trading loss, missed opportunity, tax liability, or any other damages you incur as a result of using, relying on, or being influenced by any aspect of the Service.

Intellectual Property
All rights, title, and interest in and to the Service — including but not limited to the software code, application design, user interface, graphics, logos, trademarks, trade names, service marks, and all other proprietary materials — are and shall remain the exclusive property of Vaulted Desk.
Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you. Your use of the Service does not grant you any ownership rights whatsoever.

07
User Content & Trading Data
You retain ownership of all trading data, account information, notes, and other content you input into the Service ("User Content"). Vaulted Desk does not claim ownership of your User Content.
By using the Service, you grant Vaulted Desk a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to store, process, transmit, and display your User Content solely to the extent necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Service. This licence terminates when you delete your account and all associated data has been removed from our systems.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of your User Content. You represent and warrant that your User Content does not infringe any third-party rights and that you have all necessary permissions to submit it to the Service.
08
Copy Trading, Signals & Bot Disclaimer
High-Risk Warning: Copy trading, automated bots, signal sharing, and all forms of trading involve a substantial risk of financial loss up to and including the total loss of your capital. You should never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
The copy trading, Copier panel, bot, signal, and any automated features within the Service are software tools that facilitate connections to third-party APIs and automate user-defined actions. They are provided “as is” and “as available” and do not constitute:
- Financial advice, investment advice, or trading recommendations of any kind.
- A solicitation or offer to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument.
- A guarantee, promise, or prediction of future results or profitability.
- A managed account service or discretionary portfolio management.
You expressly acknowledge and agree that:
- All bot features, signals, automated strategies, and copy-trade functionality are used entirely at your own risk. Vaulted Desk does not control, verify, audit, or guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or profitability of any bot, signal, strategy, or automated action.
- Bots and automated tools may malfunction, execute incorrect trades, experience latency, or produce unexpected results. You are responsible for monitoring all automated activity and for any consequences arising from its use.
- Signals shared by other users or generated within the Service are the opinions or outputs of those users or algorithms, not of Vaulted Desk. We do not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for any signal, trade idea, or strategy shared through the Service.
- Past performance, historical data, and backtested results are not indicative of future results. Markets are inherently unpredictable and no software tool can guarantee profits.
- You are solely and exclusively responsible for all trading decisions, all positions entered, and all financial outcomes resulting from your use of the Service, whether manual or automated.
- Vaulted Desk, its founders, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates are not liable for any trading losses, liquidations, margin calls, missed opportunities, or any other financial damages arising directly or indirectly from your use of bots, signals, copy trading, or any other feature of the Service.
- You should seek independent, qualified, regulated financial advice before engaging in any form of trading.
09
Assumption of Risk
By using the Service, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with trading and the use of trading software.
Trading in financial markets carries a high level of risk. You acknowledge that:
- Trading is speculative and may result in the loss of your entire investment. You should only trade with capital that you can afford to lose completely.
- Leveraged products (including CFDs, futures, and forex) carry additional risk and can amplify losses beyond your initial deposit.
- The Service is a tool — it does not reduce or eliminate market risk. No feature, panel, calculator, bot, or signal within the Service removes the inherent risks of trading.
- You are acting on your own behalf and not on behalf of Vaulted Desk. Vaulted Desk is not your agent, broker, fiduciary, or adviser.
- You accept full responsibility for any and all consequences — financial, legal, or otherwise — arising from your trading activity, whether or not such activity was informed by, facilitated by, or conducted through the Service.
- You waive any claim, right of action, or cause of action against Vaulted Desk arising from financial losses incurred through trading, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
If you do not accept these risks, you must not use the Service for any trading-related purpose.
10
Third-Party Integrations
The Service integrates with various third-party platforms and services, including but not limited to cTrader, Tradovate, DXTrade, Project X, Discord, Supabase, and others (collectively, "Third-Party Services").
You acknowledge and agree that:
- Third-Party Services are independent of Vaulted Desk and are governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies.
- Vaulted Desk does not control Third-Party Services and is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, content, or conduct.
- Your use of Third-Party Services is entirely at your own risk and subject to the respective terms of those services.
- Vaulted Desk is not liable for any damages, losses, or issues arising from your interaction with Third-Party Services, including API outages, data errors, or policy changes by those services.
- Integration with a Third-Party Service does not constitute an endorsement of that service by Vaulted Desk.
When you provide API keys, webhook URLs, or credentials for Third-Party Services, you do so at your own risk. You are responsible for maintaining the security of such credentials.
11
Termination
Vaulted Desk reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate your access to the Service at any time, at our sole discretion, with or without notice, for any reason including but not limited to:
- Breach of these Terms or our policies.
- Conduct that we believe is harmful to other users, the Service, or third parties.
- Failure to pay applicable subscription fees.
- Request by law enforcement or government authorities.
- Extended periods of account inactivity.
- Our decision to discontinue the Service.
Upon termination, your licence to use the Service immediately ceases. You may request deletion of your account and personal data by contacting us at support@tradersvault.com.
You may terminate your own account at any time by contacting support. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any prepaid fees, except where required by applicable law.
Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Intellectual Property, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law) shall survive.
12
Limitation of Liability
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vaulted Desk expressly disclaims all warranties, including without limitation:

In any case, our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising under or related to the Service shall not exceed the total amount you paid to Vaulted Desk in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or £50 GBP, whichever is greater.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability. In such jurisdictions, the above limitations apply only to the fullest extent permitted by law.
13
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vaulted Desk and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:

14
Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
Any legal proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
Nothing in this section prevents Vaulted Desk from seeking emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in any jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
15

- Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
