Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Tactyx (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”), our Privacy Policy, and our Risk Disclosure. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Tactyx (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

2. Description of Service

Tactyx is a strategy simulation and execution tool that allows users to:

• Run backtests to simulate strategy performance
• Deploy strategies for paper trading (simulated trading)
• Connect to supported brokers for live execution (where available)
• Analyze market data and strategy performance metrics
• Access educational resources about trading strategies

The Service is designed as a tool for strategy development and testing. It is NOT a broker, investment advisor, or financial institution. We do not hold, manage, or have custody of any user funds.

3. No Financial Advice

• Professional financial or investment advice
• A guarantee of any specific outcome or return
• An offer or solicitation to engage in any transaction
• An endorsement of any particular trading strategy or approach

You should consult with a qualified financial advisor, tax professional, and/or legal counsel before making any investment decisions. We are not registered as a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or in any similar capacity with any financial regulatory authority.

6. Simulated Results Disclaimer

All backtest results and paper trading performance displayed on Tactyx are SIMULATED and based on historical data. These simulated results:

• Do not represent actual trading or real money
• May not account for all market conditions, slippage, or execution delays
• Are not indicative of future performance
• May differ significantly from live trading results
• Are generated with the benefit of hindsight
• May not reflect the impact of market liquidity on execution
• Do not account for the psychological impact of real money at risk

PAST PERFORMANCE, WHETHER ACTUAL OR SIMULATED, IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
