Terms of Service

Effective Date; Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of QuantPad’s website, applications, hosted notebook execution environment, market data access, APIs, AI-assisted tools, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and the policies referenced here (including the License and Acceptable Use pages). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

IMPORTANT: QuantPad provides educational and informational tools. It does not provide investment, legal, tax, or other professional advice. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.

What QuantPad Is

QuantPad is a proprietary, subscription-based SaaS platform offering institutional-style quantitative trading workflows. It includes, among other components: strategy ideation tools, a code/editor experience, analytics dashboards, a hosted notebook execution environment, curated and cached market data pipelines, and proprietary orchestration logic that combines user inputs, system prompts, and internal workflows to generate outputs.

Eligibility; Accounts; Security

You must be legally able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You are responsible for all activity on your account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials. You may not share, transfer, resell, or provide access to your account to any other person.

Subscriptions; Fees; Service Limits

Access to the Service may require a paid subscription. The Service may include rate limits, usage quotas, and other technical and policy-based restrictions. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Service at any time, and we may enforce limits to protect the Service and other users.

Ownership; Reservation of Rights

QuantPad and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service and all protected components, including but not limited to: UI/UX, workflows, feature structure, prompts, orchestration logic, internal tools, databases, APIs, compute and caching layers, rate limits and access control, market data pipelines, datasets and derived datasets, and branding and visual identity (collectively, "QuantPad IP"). Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms and the License, no rights are granted to you.

License; Outputs; Notebooks; Data Access

Your rights to use the Service and any content generated through it (including code, notebooks, analyses, explanations, charts, and derived results) are governed by our License page. You agree that QuantPad may impose additional restrictions on certain data sources, instruments, or datasets based on third-party provider terms, legal requirements, or technical limitations.

Explicit Prohibitions (No Redistribution; No Derivative Resale)

You agree you will not, and will not permit any third party to:

• Redistribute, publish, share, sell, sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise make available the Service (or any portion of it) to any non-subscriber, including by credential sharing or by exposing any QuantPad functionality through another interface.
• Resell, offer, or operate derivative services that are built from, rely on, or are substantially enabled by QuantPad infrastructure, workflows, market data access mechanisms, caching layers, APIs, or Outputs, including services positioned as a substitute for QuantPad.
• Use the Service or Outputs to reproduce, clone, or build a substantially similar or competing product, workflow, dashboard, or hosted tool (including any "QuantPad-like" offering).
• Use Outputs to train, fine-tune, or improve any model, to populate or enrich external databases, or to power external applications, agents, or automated trading systems offered to third parties.

Acceptable Use

You must comply with our Acceptable Use page. Without limitation, you may not scrape the Service, bypass technical restrictions, probe or attack security, reverse engineer nonpublic features, or otherwise misuse the Service. We may investigate violations and suspend or terminate accounts.

User Content; Inputs

You are responsible for any information, text, code, datasets, prompts, or other materials you submit to the Service ("Inputs"), including ensuring you have all rights needed to submit them. You agree not to submit Inputs that violate law, third-party rights, or confidentiality obligations.

AI-Generated Content; No Warranties

Portions of the Service may generate Outputs using artificial intelligence and other automated methods. Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your use. The Service and Outputs are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, QuantPad will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or trading losses, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, QuantPad’s total liability for any claims arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the amounts you paid to QuantPad for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless QuantPad and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your Inputs, your Outputs use, or your violation of these Terms, the License, or the Acceptable Use rules.

Termination; Suspension

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or applicable policies, or if your use poses risk to the Service, QuantPad, or others. Upon termination, any licenses granted to you will end as described in the License page.

Injunctive Relief

You agree that any breach of the restrictions in these Terms (including prohibitions on redistribution, resale, reverse engineering, and competitive/derivative services) may cause irreparable harm to QuantPad for which monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy. In addition to any other remedies, QuantPad may seek immediate injunctive or equitable relief to enforce these Terms.

Governing Law; Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where QuantPad is organized and primarily operates (to be specified by QuantPad), without regard to conflict of law principles. Unless mandatory law provides otherwise, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in that jurisdiction, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

Severability; Waiver; Assignment

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them without QuantPad’s prior written consent. QuantPad may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
