Terms of Service
Last Updated: January 2025
1. General Overview
This website, and the services and/or products offered herein, are owned and operated by SignalStudio ("SignalStudio", "we" or "us"). By using this website and associated application (the "Site"), you, as the user ("User", "Customer" or users collectively as "Customers"), agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and to use the Site in accordance with these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy and any additional terms and conditions that may apply to specific sections of this Site or to products and services available through the Site or from SignalStudio. Accessing the Site, in any manner, whether automated or otherwise, constitutes use of the Site and your agreement to be bound by these Terms of Service.
SignalStudio is a specialty application with the express goal (the "Purpose") of providing a broker and platform-agnostic abstraction layer to enable a User's to connect their preferred third-party trade alerting platform or systems to their broker of choice via the intermediary SignalStudio system.
A "Signal" is a standardized JSON request submitted to a specific webhook endpoint address (a URL which is generated by SignalStudio in response to the user configuring a new brokerage connection). When a Signal is received, SignalStudio will validate the request, transliterate the JSON package into the preferred format of the selected brokerage, and forward it to the preferred brokerage via direct brokerage API connection or webhook connection.
Each Signal contains instructions for the brokerage to perform an action on behalf of the user in the user's account. Such requests may include, without limitation, commands to open new positions, close existing positions, adding to an existing position, reduce an existing position, and other trading related actions that users would otherwise perform manually in their accounts.
In order to be valid, each Signal must be formatted in compliant JSON, and must contain the symbol of a tradable security, an action (e.g., "buy" or "sell"), and the quantity. When received, the Signal will be converted into the preferred format of the selected brokerage and forwarded to the brokerage. The brokerage will then be responsible for placing the order in the user's account.
SIGNALSTUDIO DOES NOT OFFER ALERTS OF ITS OWN, NOR DOES SIGNALSTUDIO EXECUTE ANY TRADES ITSELF, NOR DOES SIGNALSTUDIO GUARANTEE TRADES WILL BE EXECUTED AT ANY PARTICULAR TRADE PRICE, NOR DOES IT CONTROL BROKERS, BROKERAGE FIRMS, OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL, ENTITY, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY AS IT RELATES TO EXECUTED TRADES. SIGNALSTUDIO MERELY PROVIDES A METHOD FOR A SIGNALSTUDIO USER TO CONVERT AN ALERT IN THEIR TRADING SOFTWARE INTO AN ORDER IN THEIR BROKER/BROKERAGE FIRM VIA SUPPLIED USER INFORMATION.
SignalStudio, in service of its Purpose, offers web-based tools to enable users to connect third-party trading platforms to third-party brokerage platforms via the intermediary SignalStudio platform (collectively, the "Services"). By connecting your brokerage account to SignalStudio, you agree that you understand this connection will make available certain content (the "Content") to SignalStudio. This content includes, without limitation: (1) account positions, balances, transactions, confirmations, and order history; (2) market data such as quotations for securities transactions and/or last sale information for completed securities transactions reported in accordance with federal securities regulations; (3) any other information available to SignalStudio via your broker's API. SignalStudio will only use data it has access to for the purpose of processing user Signals and for no other purpose unless expressly authorized by you.
These Terms of Service may be updated by SignalStudio at any time without notice to you.
SignalStudio may make changes to the Services or any applicable prices at any time without notice. These Terms of Service may be altered or superseded by designated legal notices described on certain website pages. SignalStudio retains the right to modify or eliminate, for any length of time, the Services or any portion thereof, at any time and without notice.

7. Customer Account Information
A. Customer Account:
The Services require a SignalStudio Customer Account to use. In creating your Customer Account, you agree to: Provide true, current, accurate, and complete information as prompted by the Customer Account registration form ("Customer Data"); and punctually update and maintain the Customer Data to keep the data accurate and current. SignalStudio uses the Customer Data to provide the Services, and any inaccurate or dated Customer Data will hinder SignalStudio's ability to provide the Services. As a result, if SignalStudio has reasonable grounds to suspect that the Customer Data is inaccurate or dated, SignalStudio has the right to suspend or terminate your Customer Account. SignalStudio also has the right to refuse any future use of the Services by you. As consideration for using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are able to form a legally binding contract and are not otherwise barred from receiving the Services under the laws of any jurisdiction.
You may delete or cancel your Account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the Site. However, SignalStudio cannot offer refunds on pre-paid services. Thus, if you cancel your account while it has a pre-paid balance, you will lose your pre-paid balance, if any. No refunds.
B. Password:
As part of the registration process, you will be asked to provide a password for your Customer Account. You should keep your password confidential at all times, as you are responsible for all activities that initiate from your Customer Account and you can only access your Customer Account upon inputting your password. Do not share your password with anyone else for any reason. While SignalStudio uses reasonable security protocols to protect the confidentiality of your password, SignalStudio cannot guarantee absolute security of your password, Customer Account, Customer Content, or the personal, and financial information that you provide. SignalStudio cannot guarantee that the security measures in place will prevent Third-Party hackers from illegally accessing the Services or its contents. By using the Services and creating a Customer Account, you agree to accept all risks of unauthorized access to the Customer Data and other information you provide to SignalStudio. In the event of an unauthorized use of your Account, you shall notify SignalStudio of the unauthorized access, or suspected unauthorized use, or any other security breach, at once.
By using the Services and creating a Customer Account, you agree to accept all risks of unauthorized access to the Customer Data and other information you provide to SignalStudio. SignalStudio retains the right to suspend your Customer Account or require you to change your password if SignalStudio believes for any reason that your password is no longer secure.
SignalStudio cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements, or any security breaches of your account resulting from your failure to use a secure and unique password, or your failure to protect your login credentials, or your failure to prevent unauthorized access to your account in any way. A secure password is defined as a password of at least 10 characters containing at least one uppercase letter, at least one lowercase letter, at least one numeral and at least one punctuation mark. It is your responsibility to ensure you have a secure password on your account.

SIGNALSTUDIO MERELY CONNECTS SIGNALSTUDIO USERS TO THEIR USER PROVIDED DATA AS IT CONCERNS BROKERS, BROKERAGE FIRMS, AND ANY OTHER THIRD-PARTIES.

14. Live Trading Risks
By using the Site, you acknowledge and agree that automated trade execution, and trading in general, and investing in general, all are subject to various known and unknown risks. SignalStudio shall not have any liability for any losses incurred through using the Site. There are many risks in using SignalStudio with a live brokerage account. Such risks include, without limitation:
- Design risks; errors in data, incorrect assumptions, logical program errors. Even if you designed a perfect strategy, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
- Loss of internet connectivity; resulting in disconnections from brokerage, trades not placed, not seeing the results of algorithm, orders failing to be placed.
- Poor design of algorithm; resulting in runaway strategies, machine gun orders, run-time errors halting program operation, failure to trade when expected, termination of the algorithm.
- Unexpected market conditions; resulting in poor fill prices, rapid losses (flash crashes), late exchange openings.
- Data issues; broken, dirty, delayed or intermittent data connections causing algorithm errors. This includes data inaccuracies (exchanges sometimes publish bad/fictional trades).
- Execution issues; orders submissions, updates and cancellations could be rejected or delayed. Trades could be disallowed by authorities without warning.
- Malicious activities; criminal activity could cause your algorithm to fail or your brokerage account to become compromised, leaking personal information, intellectual property or theft of your funds.
- These events can cause the loss of all funds and holdings in your brokerage account. Algorithmic trading losses can occur faster than in manual trading and you should consult an investment professional to discuss these risks. You should continually monitor the operation of a live trading algorithm to ensure it is running properly.
- Slippage and failure to receive the entry or exit price you desire due to market latency, data feed latency, internet latency, or other technical and non-technical factors, that are known and unknown.
EVERY TIME YOU USE THE SITE YOU AGREE THAT IN ALL CASES SIGNALSTUDIO BEARS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES INCURRED, AND OFFERS NO GUARANTEES OR EXPECTATIONS ON YOUR ALGORITHM PERFORMANCE OR STABILITY.
15. Indemnification
