Acceptable Use Policy

Effective Date; Scope

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs your use of QuantPad. It applies to all access to the Service, including the web app, notebook execution environment, market data access, APIs, and any AI-assisted tools and Outputs. Violations may result in suspension or termination under the Terms of Service.

Allowed Uses (High-Level)

QuantPad is intended for lawful education, research, and individual trading workflows. You may use Outputs as drafts for your private/internal purposes and may modify them for your own use, consistent with the Terms of Service and License.

Prohibited Conduct

You may not use QuantPad to:

  • Break the law or violate regulations (including securities, commodities, export controls, sanctions, and data protection laws).
  • Infringe, misappropriate, or violate third-party rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or confidentiality obligations.
  • Upload malware or attempt to disrupt, degrade, or impair the Service, including via denial-of-service, excessive automated requests, or abusive usage patterns.
  • Attempt to bypass access controls, quotas, rate limits, paywalls, or other technical restrictions, or to access nonpublic areas, data, or systems.
  • Scrape, spider, crawl, or bulk-download content, Market Data, or Outputs (except as explicitly enabled by QuantPad features and within applicable limits).
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code, system prompts, orchestration logic, workflows, or nonpublic APIs of the Service.
  • Share credentials or provide access to the Service to others, including to enable non-subscribers to benefit from the Service.

AI Outputs, Data, and Competition Restrictions

QuantPad is a proprietary platform. In addition to the Terms and License, you may not use the Service or Outputs to:

  • Redistribute Outputs (including code, notebooks, analytics, or explanations) as a product or service, or in any way that allows third parties to avoid subscribing to QuantPad.
  • Build, market, or operate any derivative or competing service that uses QuantPad infrastructure, Market Data access mechanisms, caching layers, workflows, or Outputs as a core input or hidden backend.
  • Use Outputs to train, fine-tune, or improve any model, or to populate external databases, libraries, or applications, including agentic systems or automation used outside Authorized Use.
  • Rehost, mirror, or redistribute Market Data, including cached or derived data, in bulk or as a service.

Enforcement

We may investigate suspected violations and take action at our discretion, including rate limiting, restricting features, suspending access, terminating accounts, removing content, and pursuing legal remedies (including injunctive relief) where appropriate.

Changes

This AUP may be updated from time to time. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated AUP.
