1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the EdgeSpine application (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not access or use the Service.
We reserve the right to update or modify these terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service following any modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
2. Operator Accounts & Cryptographic Credentials
To access the EdgeSpine terminal, you must register and authenticate an operator account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of all authentication credentials, including Google OAuth access tokens, WebAuthn / Passkeys hardware-backed credentials, and browser session cookies.
You explicitly acknowledge and agree that:
- You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized access, compromised credentials, or security breach of your operator account. EdgeSpine shall not be held liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard cryptographic tokens.
- Initiating an **Account Deletion** request from the settings dashboard triggers an irreversible deletion cascade across all database records, permanently destroying your portfolios, trades, image deduplication hashes, AI analysis cache, and web push endpoints.
3. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Service. This includes:
- Attempting to bypass database data isolation structures or hijack other users' session tokens.
- Sending high-frequency, abusive synchronization requests to our API endpoints.
- Scraping market data or reverse engineering the analytical logic engines.
4. Universal No Financial Advice & Risk Disclaimer
Fool-Proof & Regulatory-Hardened Notice
4.1 Educational & Analytical Utility Only (Non-Fiduciary Status)
EdgeSpine (including its web dashboards, mobile/PWA applications, AI Coach, generative insights, statistical calculators, and behavioral grading modules) is strictly a software-as-a-service (SaaS) journaling and analytics utility. EdgeSpine and its creators, operators, and affiliates are NOT registered broker-dealers, investment advisors, financial planners, commodity trading advisors (CTA), or fiduciaries under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), ESMA, ASIC, or any other global financial regulatory body.
4.2 No Solicitation, Recommendation, or Trading Signals
Nothing contained within or generated by EdgeSpine constitutes an offer, solicitation, endorsement, or recommendation to buy, sell, hold, or trade any financial instrument—including, without limitation, equities (stocks), foreign exchange (Forex/FX), commodities, cryptocurrencies/digital assets, futures, options, or contracts for difference (CFDs) across any jurisdiction. Any setups, trade grades, habit scores, or market commentaries displayed are derived entirely from user-supplied logs or historical data algorithms and are provided for self-reflection and historical study only.
4.3 AI & Algorithmic Output Limitations (Future-Proofing)
As EdgeSpine integrates current and future artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and automated pattern recognition engines, you explicitly acknowledge that AI outputs are probabilistic estimations based on historical statistics. AI models can produce incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate outputs ("hallucinations"). You agree never to treat AI insights, macro summaries, or behavioral alerts as deterministic trading advice or sole justification for capital deployment.
4.4 Substantial Risk of Loss & 100% Operator Responsibility
Trading and investing in financial markets carry a high level of risk, including the total loss of principal or losses exceeding initial deposits in leveraged accounts. You assume 100% independent responsibility for every trading decision, execution order, position size, and risk management strategy you undertake. Under no circumstances shall EdgeSpine be held accountable or liable for trading losses, missed opportunities, execution slippage, or data discrepancies between your brokerage terminal (e.g., MetaTrader 5) and our analytical dashboard.
5. Universal Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, EdgeSpine, its founders, engineers, affiliates, and sub-processors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of, or inability to use, the Service.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you explicitly hold EdgeSpine harmless against claims, financial losses, or operational disruptions arising from:
- Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure: AI inference downtime, API rate limits, macroeconomic report delays, or probabilistic hallucinations.
- Brokerage & Webhook Synchronization: Webhook transmission failure, network packet drops, broker server reboots, or incorrect transaction payload structures.
- Progressive Web App: Offline background sync queue failures, local storage cache eviction by browser OS memory pressure, or delayed Web Push notification delivery.
- Edge Network & Database: Serverless edge worker cold starts, CDN/WAF routing delays, or scheduled database maintenance intervals.
