Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at copycattrader.io, the CopycatTrader application, dashboards, integrations, analytics, content, and related services (together, the "Platform"), operated by CopycatTrader in formation, trading as CopycatTrader ("CopycatTrader", "Company", "we", "us", or "our").

By accessing or using the Platform, creating an account, linking a broker connection, subscribing to a paid plan, acting as a Guru, acting as a Copycat, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Statement, Risk Disclosure Statement, Cookie Notice, Refund / Cancellation Policy, Restricted Jurisdictions & Sanctions Policy, and Acceptable Use / Market Abuse Policy, each of which is incorporated by reference.

If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

You may use the Platform only if:

1. you are at least 18 years old;
2. you have legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement;
3. your use of the Platform is lawful in all jurisdictions applicable to you;
4. you are not subject to sanctions or restrictions that prohibit your use of the Platform; and
5. all information you provide is true, accurate, and current.

The Platform is available only in selected jurisdictions approved by CopycatTrader.

Without limitation, the Platform is not available to:

1. residents of the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or United States;
2. persons accessing the Platform from those jurisdictions;
3. persons acting on behalf of residents or persons located in those jurisdictions; or
4. persons in any other jurisdiction designated by us as restricted from time to time.

Users from restricted jurisdictions may not create, hold, or use a CopycatTrader account.

We operate a hard allowlist model. Access may be denied, restricted, suspended, or terminated based on jurisdiction rules, IP-based geolocation, country declarations, technical mismatch checks, billing-country mismatch, or suspected circumvention.

CopycatTrader is a software and analytics platform that facilitates technical trade-copying functionality through supported third-party broker integrations.

CopycatTrader is not:

1. a broker, dealer, exchange, custodian, bank, or financial institution;
2. an investment adviser, portfolio manager, or asset manager;
3. a holder or custodian of client money; or
4. a party to trades executed between users and their brokers.

Funds remain in the user's own broker account. Performance fees are handled at broker level, including through PAMM or similar broker-side arrangements where applicable. CopycatTrader does not collect or settle performance fees on behalf of users.

A Copycat is a user who elects to follow or mirror one or more Guru strategies through supported broker integrations.

A Guru is an independent trader who connects an eligible broker account and permits broker-verified trade activity to be displayed or relayed through the Platform.

The Platform is in beta / pre-launch status unless and until we announce otherwise. Features may change, be interrupted, malfunction, or be discontinued without notice. You use the Platform at your own risk.

You are responsible for:

1. maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials;
2. safeguarding your devices, browser, email account, and authenticator tools;
3. all activity conducted through your account; and
4. notifying us promptly of any unauthorized use or suspected security incident.

We may require two-factor authentication or other security steps for some or all users.

As part of account registration and continued use of the Platform, you must provide your current country of residence and make required access declarations.

By creating or using an account, you represent, warrant, and agree that:

1. your declared country of residence is accurate and current;
2. you are not a resident of the EU, EEA, UK, or US;
3. you are not accessing the Platform from the EU, EEA, UK, or US;
4. you are not accessing the Platform on behalf of any resident or person located in the EU, EEA, UK, or US; and
5. you will immediately notify us if your country of residence or access profile changes.

We may rely on user declarations together with technical access controls, including IP-based geolocation and related risk checks. We do not state that we perform identity-document verification or official residency verification at this stage.

To enforce geographic and access restrictions, we may use:

1. declared country-of-residence data;
2. IP address and IP-derived geolocation country;
3. device, browser, and session signals;
4. billing-country data or payment-country indicators where available;
5. risk flags and mismatch checks; and
6. internal logs and operational reviews.

If we detect that your declared country, IP country, payment-country indicator, or other access signals are restricted or materially inconsistent, we may reject signup, block login, suspend the account, refuse checkout, refuse broker linking, prevent copying activation, or terminate access.

We do not guarantee that all restricted users can be identified in every case.

The Platform is provided on a software and analytics basis only.

CopycatTrader does not provide financial, investment, tax, accounting, legal, or regulatory advice. Nothing on the Platform constitutes a recommendation, offer, solicitation, endorsement, or suitability assessment.

You are solely responsible for:

1. deciding whether to use the Platform;
2. deciding whether to follow any Guru;
3. selecting your broker and account structure;
4. choosing your allocation, leverage, and risk settings; and
5. assessing whether any strategy, trade, Guru, or instrument is appropriate for you.

To use copy-trading functionality, you must connect a supported third-party broker account through a supported integration model.

You acknowledge and agree that:

1. all trading activity occurs at your broker, not at CopycatTrader;
2. execution depends on third-party brokers, APIs, networks, and market conditions outside our control;
3. copied trades may differ from source trades in timing, quantity, leverage, fees, spread, slippage, or final result;
4. some trades may not be copied at all, may be copied partially, or may be delayed, rejected, or closed differently; and
5. pausing or disconnecting copying may not automatically close positions at broker level.

We do not guarantee identical execution, profitability, or any minimum result.

Copycats may be able to set allocation caps, position-sizing settings, stop-loss settings, leverage preferences, and other controls. These are user tools only and are not guarantees. Market conditions, broker rules, technical failures, or latency may prevent them from functioning as expected.

Guru statistics and public profile information displayed on the Platform are intended to be based on supported broker data and user-provided profile content.

We may require certain technical or profile conditions before allowing a Guru to appear publicly, receive a badge, appear on a leaderboard, or otherwise be promoted on the Platform. We may rank, hide, suspend, delist, or remove any Guru profile, performance display, or public content at our discretion.

13.1 Paid Plan CopycatTrader may offer a Pro monthly subscription plan and any other plans we choose to introduce from time to time.

13.2 Stripe Billing CopycatTrader uses Stripe or another designated payment provider for Pro subscription billing. By subscribing, you authorize us and our payment providers to charge your chosen payment method for the applicable subscription fee, taxes, and related charges.

13.3 No Performance Fee Collection by CopycatTrader CopycatTrader does not collect platform-level performance fees from users. Any performance-fee logic applicable to copied strategies is handled through broker-side or PAMM-side arrangements, not by CopycatTrader.

13.4 Billing Access Restrictions We may refuse or cancel checkout, subscription activation, or subscription renewal if:

1. your account is blocked or restricted;
2. your country or access profile is restricted;
3. your billing-country indicator conflicts with your declared country or permitted access profile; or
4. we suspect circumvention, fraud, or policy breach.

Our internal logs, technical records, subscription records, settings, declarations, timestamps, broker-linked records, and related operational data are prima facie evidence of account activity, acceptance events, billing events, and enforcement actions, except in the case of manifest error.

If you dispute an account action, statement, charge, or enforcement event, you must notify us promptly and in any event within two business days after it is made available to you, where legally permitted.

If you choose public profile functionality or act as a Guru, you grant CopycatTrader a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license during the term of these Terms to host, display, reproduce, and publish your display name, avatar, biography, linked social handles, verification indicators, and broker-verified performance statistics for the purposes of operating, promoting, and improving the Platform.

We may provide notices, statements, billing messages, policy updates, declarations, confirmations, and other communications electronically through the dashboard, email, or other digital means.

Communications are deemed received when made available to you, whether or not you actually open or review them.

You must not:

1. use the Platform from a restricted jurisdiction;
2. access or attempt to access the Platform on behalf of a restricted person;
3. provide false or misleading country, billing, broker, or access information;
4. use VPNs, proxies, or other tools to circumvent country restrictions;
5. scrape or harvest user data or Platform content;
6. interfere with security features, logs, ranking systems, payment systems, or broker-linking features;
7. engage in unlawful trading, market abuse, spoofing, wash trading, manipulation, or deceptive conduct; or
8. use the Platform in any way that exposes us or our users to regulatory, legal, reputational, or security risk.

We may modify, suspend, replace, or discontinue any part of the Platform, including supported brokers, features, pricing, public rankings, and access rules, at any time.

We may reject signup, block login, refuse checkout, suspend copying, disable broker linking, remove content, or terminate your account immediately if we reasonably believe it is necessary for:

1. legal compliance;
2. geographic restrictions;
3. sanctions compliance;
4. fraud prevention or security;
5. suspected circumvention;
6. technical or operational risk; or
7. breach of these Terms or incorporated policies.

You may stop using the Platform at any time. Termination does not affect accrued rights, billing obligations, survival clauses, or rights to correct errors or reverse access.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Platform is provided "as is" and "as available." We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of availability, accuracy, reliability, non-infringement, merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose.

We do not warrant that:

1. the Platform will always be available or error-free;
2. copied trades will match source trades;
3. any Guru will perform consistently;
4. technical controls will identify all restricted users in every case; or
5. any data, ranking, or statement will always be complete or current.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CopycatTrader and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, opportunity, capital, or expected return.

Without limitation, we are not liable for losses arising from:

1. market movements, volatility, liquidation, or failed strategies;
2. broker outages, exchange failures, API failures, symbol mismatches, or rejected orders;
3. user settings, risk choices, or allocation choices;
4. unauthorized account access caused by your own security failures;
5. country restrictions, access blocks, or enforcement actions taken under these Terms;
6. beta features, downtime, or service changes; or
7. third-party acts or omissions.

Our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Platform will not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid us in subscription fees during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) USD 100, except where a higher amount is required by non-excludable law.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CopycatTrader and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and service providers from claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and costs, including reasonable legal fees, arising from:

1. your use of the Platform;
2. your breach of these Terms or incorporated policies;
3. your false declarations or restricted-jurisdiction access;
4. your trading activity; or
5. your violation of law or third-party rights.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms become effective when posted or on the stated effective date. We may require re-acceptance before continued use.

These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of Mauritius.

The courts of Mauritius have exclusive jurisdiction, except to the extent mandatory law provides otherwise.
