Section 1 — Critical Notices
This Terms of Service and End-User License Agreement (the "Agreement") governs access to and use of algobars.com and any related websites, applications, software, APIs, SDKs, plugins, connectors, order routing/execution connectivity modules, documentation, updates, and services (collectively, the "Services").
By creating an account, clicking "Accept," purchasing, subscribing, enabling one-click trading, integrating, downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and all policies referenced herein.
S0.1 Technology Provider Only — No Brokerage / No Financial Services
"AlgoBars" is the trade name and brand of BuildQapital Commercial Brokers LLC, a limited liability company organized and registered under the laws of the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates (mainland) ("the Company"). References throughout this Agreement to "AlgoBars," "we," "us," "our," "BuildQapital," "BuildQapital LLC," and "BuildQapital Commercial Brokers LLC" refer to the same legal entity, which is the contracting party under this Agreement. All rights, obligations, indemnities, limitations of liability, and protections under this Agreement apply equally to the Company, its affiliates, parent and subsidiary entities, and all Released Parties (collectively referred to as "AlgoBars" for convenience).
AlgoBars is a technology company. AlgoBars provides software and technical infrastructure that may be used by third-party brokerages, trading platforms, exchanges, liquidity venues, prime brokers, and other financial institutions (each a "Brokerage Platform") to support connectivity and technical workflows related to order routing and execution.
AlgoBars:
- is NOT a broker, dealer, exchange, trading venue, market maker, clearing firm, custodian, or payment processor
- does NOT open, control, or manage real trading accounts
- does NOT take custody of user funds or assets
- does NOT provide investment, trading, legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory advice
- does NOT guarantee execution outcomes, prices, fills, liquidity, profitability, or availability
All trading activity occurs solely through Brokerage Platforms under your separate agreement(s) with those Brokerage Platforms.
S0.2 No Investment Advice; Independent Due Diligence
Nothing in the Services constitutes investment advice, recommendations, solicitations, or offers. You are solely responsible for investment and trading decisions and for verifying the regulatory status, suitability, and terms of any Brokerage Platform.
S0.3 Risk Warning
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Many retail investor accounts lose money when trading financial products. Leverage can magnify losses and may result in losses exceeding your initial deposit. Trade only with funds you can afford to lose.
S0.4 Third-Party Platforms and Content
Brokerage Platforms and third-party content are independent. AlgoBars does not guarantee their safety, fairness, regulatory permissions, solvency, quality, reliability, reputation, or the accuracy/timeliness of third-party content or advertising.

S2 Acceptance; Electronic Communications; Records
2.1 Acceptance: You accept this Agreement by clicking acceptance, enabling a feature that requires consent, creating an account, purchasing/subscribing, integrating, downloading/installing, or using the Services.
2.2 Electronic Communications: You consent to electronic notices and records, including service notices, billing notices, policy updates, and disclosures. To the extent permitted by law, you waive requirements for non-electronic signatures or delivery.
2.2.1 Email on File is Conclusive Notice: Any notice, communication, disclosure, billing notification, policy update, security alert, breach notification, account action, or other message sent by AlgoBars to the email address on record for your account shall be deemed delivered, received, and effective as of the date and time sent, regardless of whether the email is actually opened, read, marked as spam, filtered, delivered to a non-monitored inbox, blocked by your provider, or otherwise not actually received by you. You are solely responsible for keeping your registered email address accurate, current, and actively monitored, and for promptly updating it through your account settings if it changes. Failure to receive any notice does not excuse compliance with any obligation under this Agreement, alter any timeline running from the date of notice, or create any liability for AlgoBars.
2.3 Prohibited Use Where Unlawful: If access or use of the Services is prohibited by applicable law in your jurisdiction, do not use the Services.
S3 Eligibility; Account Responsibility
Age/Authority: You must be at least 18 (or age of majority in your jurisdiction). AlgoBars relies upon your representation of age and is not obligated to independently verify it. If AlgoBars discovers that an account holder is under the minimum age, the account will be immediately terminated; such termination creates no liability on AlgoBars for any prior service, fees collected, or actions taken in reliance on your representation. If acting for an entity, you represent you have authority to bind that entity.
Regulated Entity Representations: If you are a regulated entity in any jurisdiction (including but not limited to a broker-dealer, registered investment adviser, hedge fund, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, family office, money services business, bank, or any other regulated financial institution), you represent and warrant that: (a) you hold all licenses, registrations, exemptions, and authorizations required for your use of the Services in each jurisdiction where you operate; (b) your use of the Services complies with all regulatory obligations applicable to you, including any supervision, recordkeeping, reporting, fiduciary, and customer-protection requirements; (c) you will indemnify AlgoBars for any regulatory inquiry, enforcement action, fine, penalty, or sanction arising from your use of the Services in your regulated capacity; and (d) you will notify AlgoBars at [email protected] prior to any use of the Services on behalf of clients, customers, fund participants, or other third parties.
Account Security: You must keep registration information (including your email address, name, country, and payment method) accurate and current at all times. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your credentials, API keys, tokens, two-factor authentication devices, and all access permissions, and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether authorized by you or not.
One Account per User — No Sharing: Each account is personal to a single user (or, for entity accounts, a single legal entity with designated authorized users) and is non-transferable. You may not share your credentials, account access, API keys, or session with any other person, allow any other person to use your account, or operate the Services on behalf of any other person. Sharing credentials, account access, or paid subscription entitlements with any third party constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and authorizes AlgoBars to immediately suspend or terminate the account, retain any fees paid, void any tokens or balances, and pursue all available remedies.
Multiple Accounts & Abuse Controls: You may not create or operate multiple accounts to evade limits, bypass security controls, circumvent restrictions, abuse promotional offers, or engage in coordinated activity. AlgoBars may limit, suspend, or terminate any accounts believed to be associated with multiple-account abuse, coordinated activity, or evasion of restrictions, without prior notice.

4.1 Technology Services: The Services may include order-connectivity tooling, routing interfaces, monitoring, logs, analytics, visualization, automation tools, and integrations, delivered via web, software clients, APIs, SDKs, and plugins.
4.2 Service Changes: We may modify, suspend, discontinue, or replace any feature or part of the Services at any time, including to comply with law, security needs, or third-party requirements.
4.3 No Availability Guarantee: We aim to provide reliable Services, but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or continuous availability.
4.4 UI Elements and Interaction Risks: You acknowledge and agree that interactions with UI Elements (including clicks, taps, drags, hotkeys, gestures, or context-menu actions) may result in immediate submission, modification, or cancellation of Orders depending on your settings and enabled features. UI Elements are provided for convenience only and do not constitute a confirmation, guarantee, or authoritative record of execution.
4.5 Client-Side Processing Disclaimer: Certain aspects of the Services operate on your device or browser. Device performance, browser behavior, extensions, operating system settings, memory/CPU availability, network quality, and third-party software may affect UI behavior and timing. AlgoBars is not responsible for Orders, errors, delays, duplication, or unintended actions arising from client-side execution, browser/device issues, or third-party software interference.
S5 Fees, Subscriptions, Usage Charges, Taxes
5.1 Paid Services: Some Services may require subscription fees, usage-based fees, one-time fees, or enterprise pricing as disclosed at checkout, in-product, or in an order form.
5.2 Billing Authorization: You authorize AlgoBars (and our payment processors) to charge your payment method for all applicable fees, taxes, and charges in accordance with your selected plan and measured usage.
5.3 Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before renewal. Cancellation generally takes effect at the end of the current paid term.
5.4 Usage-Based Charges: Usage charges may be based on measurable consumption such as API calls, message volume, markets enabled, seats, modules, active connections, or other metrics. AlgoBars may enforce usage limits and rate limits.
ALL FEES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE, including subscription fees, usage fees, one-time fees, lifetime licenses, add-ons, promotions, upgrades/downgrades, and trial conversions, except where required by mandatory law.
5.5 Currency: Unless expressly stated otherwise at the point of sale, all fees are denominated and payable in United States Dollars (USD), regardless of the local currency of any payment method, card-issuer billing currency, or your jurisdiction of residence. You are solely responsible for all currency conversion charges, exchange-rate differences, bank fees, intermediary bank fees, and payment-processor fees applied by your payment provider or card issuer.
5.6 Taxes Exclusive of Fees: All fees are stated exclusive of any applicable taxes, duties, levies, or governmental charges, including (without limitation) value added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), sales tax, use tax, consumption tax, digital services tax, withholding tax, stamp duty, or any similar transactional or revenue-based tax in any jurisdiction. Where AlgoBars is required by applicable law to collect, charge, or remit any such tax in connection with a transaction, the applicable tax will be added to the fee and invoiced or charged to you. Where you are required by law to withhold any amount from a payment to AlgoBars, you shall gross up the payment so that AlgoBars receives the full amount it would have received absent the withholding. You shall promptly provide AlgoBars with valid tax-exemption documentation if you claim exemption from any tax.
S6 License Grant; Restrictions; Acceptable Use
6.1 License Grant: Subject to this Agreement and payment of applicable fees, AlgoBars grants you a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services for your internal purposes in accordance with Documentation.
6.2 No Sale: The Services are licensed, not sold.

S8 Brokerage Platforms; Order Execution; Allocation of Responsibility

8.2 No Execution Guarantee: AlgoBars does not guarantee Order acceptance, routing, timing, execution, priority, fill quality, slippage, partial fills, cancellations, confirmations, or settlement.
8.3 Connectivity and Message Transmission Risks: The Services may facilitate transmission of Orders via third-party networks and the internet. Transmission may be affected by latency, congestion, packet loss, outages, maintenance, defects, routing failures, time synchronization issues, device performance, and third-party failures. AlgoBars does not warrant that any Order or message will be delivered, delivered once, delivered in order, delivered without delay, or delivered without corruption.
8.4 UI State vs Brokerage Platform State: Information displayed within the Services (including open orders, pending orders, positions, prices, fills, balances, and indicators) may not reflect the authoritative state maintained by the Brokerage Platform. The Brokerage Platform's confirmations, records, and statements are controlling.

Requests must include: (a) your account email; (b) the specific request (deletion or export); (c) verification information sufficient to confirm your identity. AlgoBars will process verified requests promptly and within timeframes required by applicable law. AlgoBars may extend the response period where required for identity verification, where the request is complex or voluminous, where multiple related requests have been submitted, or where required by law or for legitimate operational reasons.
Notwithstanding any deletion request, AlgoBars may retain: (i) data required for AML, tax, fraud, security, or regulatory compliance; (ii) data subject to litigation hold or legal process; (iii) backup copies pending normal backup cycle expiration; (iv) anonymized data; and (v) data necessary to enforce agreements or protect AlgoBars' legal rights. Deletion of account data may be irreversible and may render your account inoperable.
S8 Legal Process & Government Requests
AlgoBars may disclose personal information in response to subpoenas, court orders, regulatory directives, search warrants, or other legal process. AlgoBars is under no obligation to notify users of any legal process, governmental request, or law-enforcement inquiry, and may comply without prior notice to the affected user. AlgoBars may, in its sole discretion, notify users where permitted by law and where doing so does not compromise an investigation, but assumes no obligation to do so. AlgoBars is not obligated to challenge, contest, narrow, or quash any legal process on behalf of any user.

S22.1 Mandatory Pre-Litigation Informal Resolution (Condition Precedent)
Before initiating any court proceeding, the claimant must deliver a written Notice of Dispute to [email protected] containing all of the following:
- the claimant's full legal name, account email, and current contact information;
- a clear, detailed description of the dispute, including specific dates, transactions, and facts;
- the specific relief sought, including any monetary amount and the method of calculation;
- identification of the contractual or legal basis for the claim;
- all supporting documentation (screenshots, logs, statements, correspondence);
- certification under penalty of perjury that all statements are true and complete; and
- a sworn declaration that the claimant has not assigned, sold, or transferred the claim to any third party.
The parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least sixty (60) days from AlgoBars' receipt of a compliant Notice of Dispute. No court proceeding may be commenced until this sixty (60) day period has elapsed and the dispute remains unresolved. The one-year limitation period set forth in S.3 is tolled during this informal resolution period.
If a claimant initiates any court proceeding without first complying with this Section, the court shall dismiss the proceeding for failure of condition precedent and the claimant shall reimburse AlgoBars' reasonable legal fees and costs incurred in obtaining dismissal. A Notice of Dispute that omits any required element listed above is incomplete and does not start the sixty (60) day period.
S22.4 Injunctive Relief
AlgoBars may seek urgent injunctive/equitable relief to protect IP or confidential information.
S16 Confidentiality
You will protect AlgoBars non-public information and use it only to access/use the Services. This obligation survives for two (2) years, and longer for trade secrets.
S17 Compliance; Sanctions; Export
You will comply with applicable laws (including UAE laws), exchange rules, broker requirements, sanctions, and export controls. AlgoBars may restrict access where required or where risk is elevated.
S18 Force Majeure
AlgoBars is NOT liable for failures or delays caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, governmental actions, sanctions, internet backbone failures, cloud/data-center outages, power failures, exchange/venue outages, and telecom failures.
S25-26 Language; Entire Agreement
The English version controls. Translations are provided for convenience only. In case of inconsistency, the English version prevails.
This Agreement (including Additional Terms and policies) is the entire agreement regarding the Services. If any provision is invalid, the remainder remains in effect. Failure to enforce is not a waiver.
Section 10 — Supplementary Global Protections
The following provisions are material terms of this Agreement. By using the Services, you expressly acknowledge, understand, and agree to each provision below. These protections apply globally to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
S.1 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND ALGOBARS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and AlgoBars agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, class, or collective proceeding.
S.2 Jury Trial Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND ALGOBARS EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES. This waiver applies whether the dispute is resolved in arbitration or, if arbitration is found unenforceable, in court. You acknowledge that you are making this waiver knowingly, voluntarily, and without duress.
S.3 Statute of Limitations
Any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR after the claim arose, or such claim is permanently barred. This limitation applies regardless of any statute or law to the contrary. You waive any statute of limitations that would otherwise apply to provide a longer period.
S.4 No Fiduciary Duty
AlgoBars does not owe you any fiduciary duty. The relationship between you and AlgoBars is strictly contractual and arm's length.

Failure to provide requested verification within the specified timeframe authorizes AlgoBars to suspend or terminate the account, freeze pending transactions, withhold commissions, retain any tokens or balances, and report the matter to applicable authorities, all without liability to you and without obligation to provide further notice.
S.56 Tokens, Credits & Subscription Entitlements
"Tokens" (and any equivalent credits, points, balances, or subscription entitlements granted to your account, whether purchased, included in a subscription tier, awarded as a promotion, or earned through any program) are subject to the following terms:
- No Cash Value & Not Currency. Tokens have no monetary value, are not money, are not e-money, are not stored-value, and do not represent any deposit, claim, or obligation of AlgoBars. Tokens may not be redeemed for cash, exchanged for fiat or cryptocurrency, used outside the Services, or treated as property of value in any legal proceeding.
- Non-Refundable. Tokens are non-refundable under all circumstances, including (without limitation) account closure, termination, downgrade, cancellation, dissatisfaction with the Services, unused balance at end of billing period, or any other cause, except where required by mandatory law.
- Non-Transferable. Tokens are personal to the account holder and may not be sold, traded, transferred, gifted, assigned, sublicensed, or shared with any other person or account. Any attempted transfer is void.
- Expiration. Unused Tokens may expire after twelve (12) months of account inactivity (defined as no successful login or API activity) or upon account closure, suspension, or termination, whichever occurs first. AlgoBars may extend or shorten expiration periods at its discretion.
- Revocation. AlgoBars may revoke, void, freeze, or reverse Tokens at any time for fraud, abuse, chargeback, violation of this Agreement, security incidents, or any reason in AlgoBars' sole discretion, without notice or liability.
- Pricing Changes. Token grant rates, consumption rates, and pricing may change in accordance with the Amendment Notice procedure in S.44. Existing Tokens may be subject to revised consumption rates as of the effective date of any change.
- Promotional Tokens. Tokens awarded as promotions, bonuses, or referral rewards may be subject to additional restrictions disclosed at the time of award and may expire sooner than purchased Tokens.
- Conversion on Plan Change. AlgoBars determines, in its sole discretion, whether and how Tokens convert when you change subscription tiers. Tokens generally do not carry over from one billing period to another except as provided in the applicable Subscription Plan.
S.57 Communications from AlgoBars Personnel Are Not Advice
All communications from AlgoBars employees, contractors, agents, support personnel, sales staff, account managers, community managers, training personnel, and any other AlgoBars representative — including (without limitation) emails, support tickets, chat messages, phone calls, video calls, Discord messages, community posts, social media interactions, sales conversations, demonstrations, training sessions, webinars, and one-on-one consultations — are provided solely for technical, operational, or informational purposes and shall NEVER be construed as financial, investment, trading, tax, accounting, legal, or any other form of professional advice, regardless of the phrasing, tone, context, channel, or specificity of the communication.
You expressly acknowledge and agree that: (a) no statement, suggestion, recommendation, opinion, illustration, example, or hypothetical mentioned by any AlgoBars representative in any communication shall be relied upon by you as advice; (b) no AlgoBars representative is licensed or authorized to give you any form of professional advice; (c) you are solely responsible for all trading, investment, and financial decisions; (d) you waive any claim that any AlgoBars communication constituted advice, established a fiduciary or advisory relationship, or created any duty of care; and (e) you shall not introduce any AlgoBars communication into any legal proceeding for the purpose of establishing advice, recommendation, or reliance.
S.58 User Obligation to Comply with Broker, Exchange & Regulatory Rules
You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable rules, regulations, terms, and policies of:
- your Brokerage Platform(s) and any clearing firm, custodian, prime broker, or other financial intermediary;
- any exchange, market, liquidity venue, or trading platform on or through which your Orders are routed or executed;
- any regulatory authority with jurisdiction over you, your trading activities, or your residence (including but not limited to securities regulators, commodity regulators, central banks, tax authorities, and financial services authorities);
- all applicable securities laws, commodity trading laws, derivatives regulations, market abuse rules, insider trading prohibitions, pattern day trader rules, position limits, reporting obligations, and licensing requirements in your jurisdiction.
You shall maintain your Brokerage Platform account(s) in good standing at all times, ensure that your trading activity through the Services complies with all such rules, and promptly notify AlgoBars if any Brokerage Platform suspends, restricts, or terminates your account. Any violation of broker rules, exchange rules, or applicable regulations by you is your sole responsibility and AlgoBars shall have no liability whatsoever arising from such violation. You shall indemnify AlgoBars for any claims, penalties, sanctions, or losses arising from your violation of any broker, exchange, or regulatory rule.
S.59 Definition of Material Breach
For purposes of this Agreement, a "material breach" by you includes (without limitation) any of the following:
- any violation of S6.3 (Prohibited Conduct), including reverse engineering, scraping, bypassing security, or unlawful conduct;
- any sharing or transfer of credentials, account access, or API keys in violation of S3;
- any initiation of a chargeback, payment reversal, or payment dispute in violation of S.46;

- any unauthorized use, redistribution, resale, sublicensing, or public display of the Services or Content;
- any breach of the User Content license terms or attempt to revoke the license granted under S.47;
- non-payment of fees when due;
- any false statement, misrepresentation, or omission in registration, KYC, or verification submissions;
- any breach for which AlgoBars provides written notice that such breach is material; and
- any other breach that AlgoBars reasonably determines materially harms its business, security, compliance posture, or reputation.
AlgoBars retains the right to declare any other breach "material" based on the specific circumstances. Material breach authorizes immediate suspension or termination under S15 (Section 2) and S.28 (Regulatory Change & Emergency Measures), without obligation to provide a cure period.
S.60 No Liability for Brokerage Insolvency or Counterparty Failure
AlgoBars shall have no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, missed opportunity, frozen funds, or other harm arising from:
- the insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, administration, wind-down, regulatory shutdown, license revocation, or financial failure of any Brokerage Platform, clearing firm, custodian, prime broker, payment processor, banking partner, data provider, or other third party;
- any fraud, misconduct, error, or regulatory violation committed by any Brokerage Platform or third party;
- any failure by a Brokerage Platform to remit, return, or release funds, securities, or assets held on your behalf;
- any change in the regulatory status, licensing, jurisdictional permissions, or business operations of any Brokerage Platform or third party.
Your remedies for any such loss lie solely against the relevant Brokerage Platform or third party, not against AlgoBars. AlgoBars does not vet, endorse, guarantee, or certify the solvency, regulatory status, or financial condition of any Brokerage Platform.
S.61 No Best-Execution Obligation
AlgoBars expressly disclaims any duty of best execution, best price, suitability, or fiduciary obligation in connection with the routing, transmission, or handling of Orders. AlgoBars is a technology conduit and does not select, prioritize, or optimize Brokerage Platforms or execution venues on your behalf. Any "best execution" obligation, if applicable, is owed by your Brokerage Platform, not by AlgoBars. You acknowledge that AlgoBars makes no commitment regarding price improvement, execution speed, liquidity access, or any other execution-quality metric.
S.62 Copy Trading, Social Trading & Signal Provider Services
The Services may include features that enable one User (a "Lead Trader," "Signal Provider," or "Strategy Author") to publish trading signals, strategies, or trade activity that can be automatically or manually replicated by other Users ("Copiers" or "Followers") (collectively, "Copy Trading Features"). With respect to all Copy Trading Features:
- No Vetting or Endorsement. AlgoBars does not vet, qualify, license, supervise, certify, or endorse Lead Traders. AlgoBars does not verify the experience, qualifications, regulatory status, financial sophistication, identity authenticity, age (beyond minimum eligibility), or trading methodology of any Lead Trader. Statistics, performance histories, win rates, profit factors, and rankings displayed are based on past activity and are not predictive of future performance.
- Copiers Assume All Risk. Each Copier expressly and voluntarily assumes all risk of loss arising from copying any Lead Trader, including total loss of capital. Copying decisions are made solely by the Copier. AlgoBars does not advise on whom to copy, allocation sizes, or risk parameters. Differences in account size, leverage, broker, spreads, commissions, latency, slippage, and timing may cause Copier results to differ materially (including becoming negative) from Lead Trader results, even when copying is enabled.
- No Advisory Relationship. Neither AlgoBars nor any Lead Trader owes a Copier any fiduciary, advisory, investment-advisor, suitability, or other professional duty. Lead Traders are independent Users, not agents, employees, or representatives of AlgoBars. The relationship between Lead Trader and Copier is solely between those Users; AlgoBars is not a party.
- Lead Trader Conduct. Lead Traders may not: (i) operate multiple accounts to manipulate published statistics or rankings; (ii) engage in wash trading, layering, or any market-manipulation conduct; (iii) hold themselves out as licensed investment advisors, fund managers, or regulated financial professionals unless they actually are and disclose such status; (iv) solicit Copiers off-platform; (v) charge Copiers separately for "premium" signals without AlgoBars' written authorization; or (vi) coordinate trading with Copiers in any prohibited manner.
- Right to Remove. AlgoBars may, at any time and in its sole discretion, remove any Lead Trader from being copyable, hide or reset published statistics, disable Copy Trading Features for any User, or disable Copy Trading globally, without notice or liability.
- Performance Fees and Revenue Share. Where AlgoBars implements any performance-fee, profit-share, subscription-to-follow, or other compensation arrangement involving Lead Traders, the specific terms shall be disclosed at the point of participation. Compensation does not create any advisory, fiduciary, or licensing relationship.
- Tax and Reporting. Both Lead Traders and Copiers are solely responsible for the tax treatment, reporting, and regulatory characterization of their own Copy Trading activity in their respective jurisdictions, including any potential characterization as managed accounts, pooled investment vehicles, regulated advisory activity, or otherwise.
- Indemnification. Each User using Copy Trading Features (whether as Lead Trader or Copier) shall indemnify and hold harmless AlgoBars and Released Parties from any claims arising from their own Copy Trading activity, including claims by other Users.
S.63 Right to Suspend Account Pending Investigation
AlgoBars may, at any time and at its sole discretion, suspend all or part of your access to the Services (including login, API access, trading features, and token consumption) pending any investigation, review, audit, compliance check, security incident analysis, regulatory inquiry, AML/sanctions screening, fraud assessment, or other inquiry. Suspension under this Section:
- may continue for up to ninety (90) days (and may be extended for additional periods where AlgoBars reasonably requires more time or where required by law);
- does not constitute termination of this Agreement or of your account, and does not trigger any refund, payout, or end-of-relationship obligation;
- does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing by AlgoBars or a finding against you;
- does not pause, extend, or otherwise modify any obligation owed by you to AlgoBars (including payment obligations, indemnification obligations, and limitation periods);
- during the suspension period, your Tokens, balances, account data, and configurations remain in place but are not accessible or usable by you;
- upon conclusion of the inquiry, AlgoBars may, in its sole discretion: reinstate access in whole or part, terminate the account under S15, impose conditions on reinstatement, or take any other action AlgoBars determines appropriate.
AlgoBars shall have no liability for any losses, missed opportunities, or consequential damages arising from a suspension under this Section.
S.64 No Service Credits or Outage Compensation
You expressly acknowledge and agree that you are NOT entitled to any service credit, refund, fee reduction, token reimbursement, prorated billing adjustment, free month, extended subscription, or other compensation of any kind arising from any:
- scheduled or unscheduled outage, downtime, or service unavailability;
- performance degradation, latency, packet loss, or connectivity issue;
- maintenance window, deployment, or system update (announced or unannounced);
- third-party failure (cloud provider, data feed, broker, payment processor, internet backbone);
- force majeure or extraordinary event;
- missed trading opportunity, lost profits, or unfavorable execution attributable to platform unavailability;
- any other interruption, error, defect, or failure in the Services or any Tool.
This applies regardless of the duration of any outage, the timing relative to market events, or the cause. The Services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, with no uptime, latency, or availability commitments.
S.65 Security Vulnerability Disclosure (Bug Bounty)
AlgoBars welcomes responsible reports of security vulnerabilities. To report a vulnerability:
- Submit a detailed report to
[email protected]including reproduction steps, affected component, and potential impact. - Do not publicly disclose the vulnerability for at least ninety (90) days from the date of report, or until AlgoBars confirms remediation, whichever occurs first.
- Do not exploit the vulnerability beyond the minimum testing necessary to demonstrate it.
- Do not access, alter, exfiltrate, destroy, or use any User data, account, or system beyond what is strictly necessary to confirm the vulnerability.
- Do not conduct denial-of-service, social-engineering, phishing, physical-access, or supply-chain attacks against AlgoBars personnel, infrastructure, or vendors.
- Do not test against production User accounts other than your own; create a separate test account as needed.
AlgoBars may, at its sole discretion, recognize, acknowledge, or pay a bounty for valid and original reports. Bounty determinations are made solely by AlgoBars and are not guaranteed. Any bounty paid is consideration for the report and any associated rights and information; the reporter assigns to AlgoBars all rights in the report and any information derived from it. AlgoBars will not pursue legal action against researchers who comply in good faith with this Section. Researchers who violate this Section forfeit any bounty eligibility and may face legal action.
S.66 Right to Require Enhanced Authentication
AlgoBars may, at any time and in its sole discretion, require any User to enable, maintain, or use enhanced authentication mechanisms, including (without limitation) two-factor authentication (2FA), multi-factor authentication (MFA), hardware security keys, biometric verification, one-time password (OTP) devices, email/SMS verification, IP allowlisting, device fingerprinting, or any other security measure. AlgoBars may make such enhanced authentication mandatory:
- for all accounts;
- for specific subscription tiers (including Scale-tier, white-label, and broker accounts);
- for accounts showing suspicious activity, unusual access patterns, or elevated risk indicators;
- following any account-takeover incident, credential leak, or security event;
- as required by AML, regulatory, or operational considerations.
You are solely responsible for maintaining your authentication devices, codes, and backup recovery methods. Loss of access to your authentication methods does not entitle you to any service credit or refund. AlgoBars may suspend or terminate any account that fails to comply with enhanced authentication requirements within the timeframe specified by AlgoBars.
S.67 Beta, Preview & Experimental Feature Confidentiality
This Section supplements S.20. By accessing any feature designated as "Beta," "Preview," "Experimental," "Alpha," "Closed Beta," "Early Access," "Pre-Release," or similar (collectively, "Beta Features"), you agree:
- all Beta Features, their existence, functionality, designs, interfaces, performance, code, documentation, and any related information are confidential information of AlgoBars;
- you will not disclose, screenshot, screen-record, publicly demonstrate, blog about, post on social media, or otherwise share information about Beta Features without AlgoBars' prior written consent, until AlgoBars publicly announces the feature's general availability;
- any feedback, suggestions, bug reports, ideas, or comments you provide regarding Beta Features may be used by AlgoBars without compensation, attribution, or restriction, and you grant AlgoBars a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use such feedback;
- you waive any claim that Beta Features should perform as well as production features and assume all risk of data loss, errors, or unintended consequences from use;
- your confidentiality obligation under this Section survives termination of your access to Beta Features and continues until the information becomes publicly available through no fault of yours.
S.68 Community, Discord & User Content Moderation Rights
To the extent AlgoBars operates or hosts community forums, Discord servers, comment sections, social channels, or any other space where Users may post or interact ("Community Spaces"), AlgoBars reserves the following rights, exercisable at its sole and absolute discretion, with or without notice or explanation:
- to monitor, review, moderate, edit, delete, or hide any User Content posted in Community Spaces;
- to suspend, restrict, mute, ban, or remove any User from Community Spaces, temporarily or permanently;
- to require User Content to comply with applicable laws, community guidelines, and standards of decency;
- to remove without notice any content that AlgoBars deems unlawful, harmful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening, sexually explicit, deceptive, fraudulent, infringing, spam, or otherwise objectionable;
- to discontinue, restructure, archive, or eliminate any Community Space at any time without obligation.
AlgoBars assumes no obligation to monitor or moderate Community Spaces and is not responsible for any User Content posted by any User. AlgoBars is not a publisher of User Content and does not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for User-posted information. Users are solely responsible for their own posts and for evaluating the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of any User Content. Disputes between Users in Community Spaces are between those Users; AlgoBars is not party to such disputes and assumes no liability for them.
S.69 Customer Reference & Marketing Rights
You grant AlgoBars a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual right to identify you as a User of the Services and to use your name, business name, trade name, logo, and trademarks (collectively, "Identifying Marks") in:
- customer lists, "trusted by" displays, partner directories, and "powered by" attributions on the AlgoBars website, marketing materials, sales presentations, investor materials, and product collateral;
- case studies, success stories, testimonials, and use cases (whether anonymized or attributed);
- press releases, blog posts, social media content, and conference presentations;
- any other commercial or non-commercial purposes consistent with promoting the Services.
You represent and warrant that you have the right to grant this license and that AlgoBars' use of the Identifying Marks as permitted hereunder will not infringe any third-party right. You may submit a written request to [email protected] to opt out of specific public uses of your Identifying Marks; upon receipt of a valid opt-out request, AlgoBars will discontinue prospective use of your Identifying Marks in new materials within a reasonable time (typically thirty (30) days), but is not required to recall, alter, or remove existing materials previously distributed.
S.70 AlgoBars-Supplied Code, SDKs & Templates
From time to time, AlgoBars may provide you with code samples, software development kits (SDKs), libraries, scripts, MQL4/MQL5 templates, Python notebooks, JavaScript snippets, configuration files, indicator code, strategy templates, sample data, documentation, or other technical materials (collectively, "Supplied Code"). Notwithstanding any open-source headers, license notices, or markings to the contrary:

You may not: redistribute, sell, sublicense, publish, post to public repositories, or share Supplied Code with any third party; create or distribute derivative works for use outside the Services; remove or alter any proprietary notices; use Supplied Code to compete with AlgoBars; or use Supplied Code in any manner that would expose AlgoBars to open-source obligations (e.g., copyleft).
- Third-Party Components. Supplied Code may incorporate or depend upon third-party open-source components subject to their own licenses, as disclosed in accompanying notice files. Your use of such components is governed by the applicable third-party license in addition to (and where in conflict, to the extent of the conflict) this Agreement.
- No Warranty. Supplied Code is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranty of any kind, including without limitation any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, performance, or non-infringement. AlgoBars has no obligation to maintain, update, support, or guarantee compatibility of any Supplied Code with future versions of the Services or with any third-party platform.

Section 5 — One-Click Trading Mode — Activation Disclaimer
One-Click Trading allows you to place orders instantly without a secondary confirmation prompt. By enabling One-Click Trading, you confirm that you have read and understood this notice and agree to be bound by it.
S1 Technology Provider Only; Brokerage Executes Your Orders
AlgoBars is a technology provider that facilitates order message routing and connectivity. AlgoBars is not your broker and does not provide brokerage, dealing, exchange, clearing, custody, settlement, or investment advisory services.
All orders are transmitted to and executed (or rejected) by your selected third-party Brokerage Platform under your agreement(s) with that Brokerage Platform. Your Brokerage Platform is solely responsible for order handling, risk checks, margin/leverage, pricing, execution, confirmations, and account statements.
S2 Default Mode vs One-Click Mode
Default Mode (Two-Step): You typically review an order ticket and confirm details before submission (order type, size, price, stops/limits), then click Buy/Sell/Place/Modify/Close to submit.
One-Click Mode (One-Step): Your order may be submitted immediately when you perform any action that triggers an order:
- Clicking BUY or SELL buttons on a trading panel, watchlist, chart, or order panel
- Clicking trade buttons in an order book / depth-of-market view
- Dragging/modifying/canceling orders via chart or order list interactions
- Using context menu commands or hotkeys that place/modify/cancel orders
- Any other interface action clearly labeled to submit, modify, or cancel an order
S3 No Second Confirmation — Orders May Be Irreversible
THERE MAY BE NO SECOND CONFIRMATION SCREEN. Once you click Buy/Sell (or perform a one-click action), your order instruction may be transmitted instantly. Depending on market conditions:
Your order may be executed immediately, partially executed, rejected, or delayed. You may NOT be able to cancel, modify, or reverse the transaction. Market orders can fill at prices materially different from the displayed price due to slippage, latency, volatility, and liquidity.
S4 You Accept the Risks of One-Click Trading
By enabling One-Click Trading, you accept all risks associated with instant order submission, including:
- Accidental clicks/taps, mis-clicks, or unintended hotkey triggers
- Incorrect order size, instrument selection, or direction (buy/sell)
- Orders submitted from the wrong account, environment, or Brokerage Platform connection
- Delays, routing issues, duplication, or failures caused by device, network, internet, third-party systems, or market conditions
- Rapid losses, including losses exceeding your initial deposit when using leverage
S6 Responsibility and Indemnity
You are solely responsible for:
- Reviewing your settings (instrument, quantity, order type defaults, risk controls)
- Confirming you are connected to the intended Brokerage Platform/account
- Monitoring open orders and positions
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless AlgoBars and its affiliates from claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your use of One-Click Trading, any order you submit (including accidental or erroneous orders), and your disputes with any Brokerage Platform.
S7 How to Disable One-Click Trading
You can disable One-Click Trading at any time in Settings / Trading Preferences (or the equivalent settings panel). Disabling One-Click Trading may require a return to the default two-step confirmation workflow.

S3 AI-Generated Content, Strategy Builder & Templates
The AlgoBuilder, Strategy Templates, AI-assisted strategy generation, and all strategy-creation Tools produce outputs that are purely educational demonstrations of algorithmic patterns and logic structures. AI-generated content — including strategy suggestions, indicator configurations, entry/exit rules, risk parameters, and code — is produced by machine learning models that may generate inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or non-functional outputs. AI models have no awareness of your personal financial situation, risk tolerance, investment objectives, trading experience, account size, or regulatory environment. AI outputs may contain errors in logic, mathematics, market assumptions, or risk calculations. Users must independently verify, validate, test, and critically evaluate all AI-generated and template-based outputs before considering any application. The inclusion of pre-built Strategy Templates does not constitute an endorsement of their methodology, effectiveness, or profitability — templates are illustrative examples only and may contain strategies that are inherently unprofitable, excessively risky, or unsuitable for live trading.
S4 Signals, Screeners, Indicators & Market Data
Signal Radar, Algo Screener, Market Screener, Scanner, Matrix Indicator, Heatmap, Watchlist, Alerts, and all technical indicators generate outputs based on mathematical calculations applied to market data. These outputs are computational results — NOT trading recommendations or predictions. Signals, alerts, screening results, indicator readings, and visualizations reflect mathematical conditions only and carry no predictive power regarding future price movements. Technical indicators — including moving averages, oscillators, volume indicators, volatility measures, and proprietary indicators such as the Matrix Indicator — are observational tools that do not predict, guarantee, or forecast market direction. Market data displayed on the Platform is sourced from third-party providers and may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or subject to errors. BuildQapital makes no representation regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any market data. Users should never rely solely on any signal, indicator, screener result, or alert as the basis for a trading decision.
S5 Backtesting, Monte Carlo & Hypothetical Performance
The Strategy Tester, Monte Carlo Simulator, and all backtesting features produce hypothetical, simulated results based on historical data. Past performance — whether actual, backtested, simulated, forward-tested, or hypothetical — is NOT indicative of future results. Backtested results are inherently limited by the benefit of hindsight and do NOT account for: real-world slippage, execution latency, order queue position, partial fills, market impact, liquidity constraints, exchange fees, commission costs, data feed errors, technology failures, broker-specific execution differences, changing market regimes, black swan events, or the psychological impact of real financial risk. Monte Carlo simulations model probabilistic outcomes based on statistical assumptions that may not reflect actual market conditions. All performance metrics — including equity curves, drawdown analyses, Sharpe ratios, win rates, and profit factors — are hypothetical calculations only. The worst drawdown of any strategy is most likely yet to occur. Over-optimization (curve-fitting) to historical data can cause strategies to fail catastrophically in live markets.
S6 CFTC Rule 4.41 — Hypothetical Performance Notice
THE FOLLOWING NOTICE IS PROVIDED PURSUANT TO U.S. COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION (CFTC) RULE 4.41 AND IS INCLUDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF USERS ACCESSING THE PLATFORM FROM THE UNITED STATES OR TRADING U.S.-REGULATED INSTRUMENTS:
HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
S7 Bot Deployment, Live/Paper Trading & Execution Risks
Bot Deployment, Live Trading, and Paper Trading carry unique and substantial risks. Paper Trading does not involve real financial risk and cannot replicate live trading conditions — including real slippage, partial fills, order rejection, liquidity constraints, and the psychological pressure of real capital at risk. Paper Trading results should NEVER be expected to transfer to live trading. Bot Deployment and Live Trading involve automatic execution of trades in real markets with real capital. Automated systems may execute trades at speeds impossible to monitor in real-time and may malfunction, execute erroneous trades, fail to execute intended trades, or behave differently in live markets due to latency, connectivity issues, API failures, data feed interruptions, exchange outages, or software bugs. Users are solely responsible for monitoring all automated activity, implementing appropriate risk controls (including maximum position limits, daily loss limits, and kill switches), and maintaining adequate account funding and margin requirements at all times.
S8 Third-Party Brokerage Connections & MetaTrader Integration
The Platform enables users to connect Tools to third-party brokerage accounts, including MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), and any other third-party brokerage or execution venue ("Connected Brokerages"). BY CONNECTING ANY BROKERAGE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE:
- BuildQapital acts solely as a signal transmission conduit — NOT a broker, dealer, exchange, or execution venue — and does not execute, route, hold, clear, settle, or custody any trades, orders, funds, or instruments;
- BuildQapital has NO control over and assumes NO responsibility for execution quality, fill prices, slippage, spread widening, commissions, swap fees, margin calls, stop-outs, liquidations, platform outages, or any outcome within your Connected Brokerage;
- all trades are between you and your broker — BuildQapital is not party to any transaction;
- signal transmission is subject to network latency, API failures, timeouts, data mismatches, and other factors that may cause signals to be delayed, lost, duplicated, corrupted, or not transmitted;
- differences in price feeds, spreads, leverage, margin, instrument naming, lot sizes, trading hours, and swap rates may cause trades to execute differently or not at all;
- you are solely responsible for selecting, evaluating, funding, and maintaining your brokerage account and ensuring your broker is properly licensed and regulated in your jurisdiction;
- you are solely responsible for the security of your brokerage API credentials, tokens, and passwords — BuildQapital is not liable for unauthorized access from compromised credentials;
- BuildQapital does not endorse or guarantee any broker;
- MetaTrader 4/5 are property of MetaQuotes Software Corp. — BuildQapital has no affiliation with MetaQuotes; and
- your brokerage relationship is governed solely by your broker's terms.
S9 Material Risk Disclosure & Assumption of Risk
Trading futures, options, forex, cryptocurrencies, equities, and other financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not appropriate for all investors. You may sustain a total loss of all invested capital and, in certain circumstances, losses exceeding your initial deposit. Margin trading amplifies both gains and losses. Contingent orders such as stop-loss orders will not necessarily limit losses. Cryptocurrency markets are particularly volatile, operate 24/7, and may be subject to manipulation and regulatory changes.
BY USING THE PLATFORM, YOU EXPRESSLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH: trading financial instruments; using algorithmic and automated trading systems; relying on signals, indicators, AI outputs, backtests, or any other Platform output; connecting to third-party brokerages; deploying bots in live markets; and any other use of the Platform. This assumption of risk is voluntary, knowing, and informed. You represent that you have sufficient knowledge, experience, and financial resources to evaluate and bear all risks of trading and using the Platform.

S13 Governing Law & Exclusive Jurisdiction
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FEDERAL LAWS OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING ITS EXISTENCE, VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, PERFORMANCE, BREACH, OR TERMINATION, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE EMIRATE OF DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. YOU IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO SUCH JURISDICTION AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION BASED ON INCONVENIENT FORUM, LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, OR ANY SIMILAR DOCTRINE.
ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY — YOU AGREE NOT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES. ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ARE WAIVED IN FULL.
LIMITATION PERIOD: ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PLATFORM MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUED. CLAIMS BROUGHT AFTER THIS PERIOD ARE PERMANENTLY BARRED, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY UAE LAW.

S14 Force Majeure & Extraordinary Circumstances
The Released Parties shall not be liable for any failure, delay, or interruption in Platform performance resulting from causes beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, or epidemics; war, terrorism, sanctions, or civil unrest; government actions, embargoes, or regulatory changes (including changes by UAE regulators such as VARA, SCA, CBUAE, or DET); exchange circuit breakers, trading halts, or market-wide disruptions; cyberattacks, DDoS attacks, hacking, or ransomware; internet or telecommunications outages; power failures; third-party service failures, including data vendor outages, broker API failures, MetaTrader server downtime, or cloud hosting disruptions; flash crashes, liquidity crises, or extreme volatility; or any other event beyond reasonable control.

S15 Testimonials, Community & Third-Party Content
Any testimonials, reviews, user comments, performance claims, success stories, or user-generated content displayed on the Platform, its website, social media, Discord server, or associated media are individual experiences and opinions. They do NOT represent or guarantee typical results. Individual trading results vary substantially. Many traders lose money — past success of any user does not indicate future success. BuildQapital does not independently verify any testimonial or performance claim. Third-party content, external links, educational materials, or analysis accessible through the Platform is provided by independent parties and does not constitute an endorsement by BuildQapital. BuildQapital assumes no responsibility for third-party content.
Testimonial Verification & Usage Addendum to S15
15.1 Verification Requirement: No Promoter (as defined in S.43) may cite, reference, present, or display any user testimonial, trading result, account balance, profit figure, or success story in any Promotional Activity unless: (a) the testimonial has been verified by AlgoBars as authentic and not misleading; (b) the testimonial includes a clear disclaimer that individual results vary and past performance does not guarantee future results; (c) the testimonial does not imply that similar results are typical or expected.
15.2 Prohibited Testimonial Practices: The following uses of testimonials are strictly prohibited: (a) presenting cherry-picked winning trades without disclosing overall account performance, including losses; (b) using testimonials from compensated individuals without disclosing the compensation; (c) fabricating, altering, or embellishing testimonials; (d) using testimonials that are outdated or no longer representative; (e) presenting demo/paper trading results as real trading results; (f) using testimonials from individuals who are not actual users of the Platform.
S16 Affiliates, Partners & Third-Party Relationships
BuildQapital may engage affiliates, partners, resellers, referral agents, educators, mentors, content creators, or other third parties who promote or reference the Platform. Any statements, representations, demonstrations, performance claims, or recommendations made by any such third party are solely their own and do NOT represent the views, endorsements, or guarantees of BuildQapital. BuildQapital disclaims all liability for the actions, statements, representations, advice, or conduct of any affiliate, partner, or third party. No such relationship creates any agency, joint venture, partnership, employment, or fiduciary relationship, nor any additional duty or liability from BuildQapital to any User. Users must independently evaluate all claims made by affiliates or partners.
Affiliate & Promoter Enforcement Addendum to S16
16.1 Binding Compliance Obligation: Notwithstanding the foregoing disclaimer, all affiliates, partners, resellers, referral agents, educators, mentors, content creators, and any other person or entity that promotes the Platform are bound by S.43 (Affiliate, Partner & Promoter Compliance Program) and Appendix K (Code of Conduct). Violation of these provisions may result in immediate termination of affiliate status, forfeiture of commissions, and legal action.

BuildQapital implements commercially reasonable security measures but does not guarantee absolute security. BuildQapital is not responsible for data breaches or unauthorized access caused by third-party vulnerabilities, your failure to use strong credentials, credential sharing, phishing, malware on your devices, or any other cause beyond BuildQapital's reasonable control.

AlgoBars is a UAE-domiciled entity and does not withhold taxes from Promoter commissions, does not file information returns with any tax authority on behalf of Promoters, and does not issue tax forms (including but not limited to IRS Form 1099, Form 1042-S, or any equivalent foreign-jurisdiction document).
AlgoBars may, at its sole discretion, provide an informal annual earnings statement to Promoters to assist with the Promoter's own tax reporting. Such statement is not a tax form, is not filed with any authority, and does not constitute tax advice.
AlgoBars may, at any time and at its sole discretion, require Promoters to provide identification, business registration, or other verification documents before processing commission payments, and may withhold or suspend payment pending receipt of requested verification. AlgoBars provides no tax advice. Each Promoter shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AlgoBars and its affiliates from any taxes, penalties, interest, claims, or costs arising from the Promoter's tax non-compliance, late filing, misreporting, or failure to register in any jurisdiction.
K.30 Survival of Promoter Obligations After Termination
Notwithstanding the termination of any affiliate, partner, or promoter relationship for any reason, the following obligations survive termination indefinitely:
- indemnification obligations under K.7, S.43.7, and Section 8;
- confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations;
- intellectual property restrictions, including the prohibition on continued use of AlgoBars brand assets under K.21;
- record-keeping obligations under K.9 and S.43.9 (minimum three (3) years);
- compliance with the prohibited statements list under K.3;
- obligation to remove or update all published Promotional Activities within forty-eight (48) hours of termination under K.27;
- return or destruction of confidential materials under K.27;
- cooperation with AlgoBars audits, investigations, and regulatory inquiries relating to pre-termination conduct;
- forfeiture of pending or accrued commissions earned through non-compliant activities; and
- all dispute resolution provisions, governing law, and limitation periods set forth in this Agreement.
Termination of the Promoter relationship does not release the former Promoter from liability for any breach of S.43, this Appendix K, or any related provision that occurred prior to termination. AlgoBars retains all rights and remedies available under law and this Agreement against any former Promoter for pre-termination conduct.
K.31 Non-Solicitation of Referred Users
During the term of the Promoter relationship and for a period of twelve (12) months after termination or expiration of the relationship (for any reason), the Promoter shall not, directly or indirectly:
- solicit, contact, induce, or attempt to convert any User who was referred to AlgoBars by the Promoter to use any competing service, platform, broker integration, or trading tool;
- use any AlgoBars-derived contact information (including emails, social media handles, or referral data) to market any competing or third-party service to such Users;
- disparage AlgoBars or the Services in any communication to referred Users;
- encourage referred Users to cancel, downgrade, or reduce their use of the Services for the benefit of any competing offering.
Breach of this Section authorizes AlgoBars to recover all commissions previously paid in connection with such Users, all damages caused by the diversion, all costs of enforcement (including reasonable legal fees), and to seek injunctive relief.
K.32 Final Commission Payout & Forfeiture
Upon termination, suspension, or expiration of the Promoter relationship for any reason:
- any earned and unpaid commissions for verified, compliant referrals shall be paid within sixty (60) days of the effective date of termination, subject to AlgoBars' right to set off any amounts owed to AlgoBars, any commissions clawed back for non-compliant activity, and any other lawful deductions;
- AlgoBars may withhold final commissions pending completion of any compliance review, investigation, or audit;
- any commissions not claimed in writing by the former Promoter within the sixty (60) day window are permanently forfeited, and AlgoBars shall have no further obligation to pay them;
- commissions earned through non-compliant Promotional Activities (as determined by AlgoBars) shall be forfeited and may be clawed back from prior payouts;
- no future commissions, residuals, trail, recurring fees, or contingent payments are owed to a former Promoter after termination, regardless of whether the originally referred User continues to use the Services.
K.33 Right to Reject Promoter Applications
AlgoBars may, in its sole and absolute discretion, accept or reject any application to join the Promoter program for any reason or no reason, with or without notice or explanation. Without limitation, AlgoBars may reject applications based on: (a) prior conduct of the applicant; (b) competitive considerations; (c) jurisdictional or sanctions concerns; (d) reputational concerns; (e) regulatory considerations; (f) failure to provide requested information; or (g) any other factor AlgoBars deems relevant. Acceptance of a Promoter application is not a guarantee of continued participation; AlgoBars may terminate any Promoter at any time per the terms of this Agreement and Appendix K. No applicant has any right, claim, or expectation of acceptance.
End of Appendix K. All provisions above (K.1 through K.33) are incorporated into and form part of the AlgoBars Master Legal Agreement.
