Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using Vecktor ("we", "us", "the service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the service. These terms form a binding agreement between you and Vecktor.

2. What Vecktor Is

Vecktor is a software platform that lets you backtest, deploy, and monitor crypto trading strategies on a connected exchange account. Vecktor is a non-custodial tool. We are not a broker, exchange, investment adviser, portfolio manager, research analyst, or fund. We do not provide investment advice or recommendations. All trading decisions are entirely yours.

3. Eligibility

• You must be at least 18 years old
• You must be legally permitted to trade cryptocurrency derivatives in your jurisdiction
• You must hold a valid, KYC-compliant account on a supported exchange (currently Delta Exchange India)
• You may not use the service if you are located in a jurisdiction where crypto derivatives trading is prohibited

4. No Investment Advice

Nothing in Vecktor — including strategy templates, backtest results, natural-language builder outputs, payoff diagrams, or any recommendation surface — constitutes investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. Backtest results are historical simulations. Past performance does not guarantee or indicate future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and their outcomes.

5. Non-Custodial by Design

Vecktor never holds, controls, or has authority over your funds. You provide API keys to your own exchange account, with permissions you control. We strongly recommend you disable withdrawal permissions on any API key you connect. You are solely responsible for the security of your exchange account and API credentials.

6. Revenue Model & Affiliate Disclosure

Vecktor is free for users. Our revenue comes from a lifetime commission share on exchange trading fees paid by users connected via our Designated Affiliate link. Your trading fees on the exchange are not increased by using Vecktor — the exchange pays us out of its existing fee. This affiliate relationship may create a conflict of interest; in particular, the service may benefit when you trade more frequently. You acknowledge this and agree it does not alter Vecktor's role as a non-advisory tool provider.

7. Risk Disclosure

• Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile. You may lose your entire investment.
• Leveraged trading amplifies both gains and losses. Position liquidation is possible.
• Short options strategies (including Short Straddle, Short Strangle) carry theoretically unlimited loss potential.
• Automated strategies may malfunction due to market conditions, exchange outages, API rate limits, connectivity issues, or unforeseen bugs.
• Backtest results use historical data; regime changes may render strategies unprofitable.
• Monte Carlo and walk-forward validations reduce — but do not eliminate — overfitting risk.
• Kill-switches and stop-losses may not execute in extreme volatility or during exchange downtime.

8. Your Responsibilities

• All trades placed through your connected API keys are your responsibility
• You must comply with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including India's FEMA, tax laws, and any SEBI guidance on crypto trading
• You must monitor your active bots and positions — even with paper mode, testnet, or kill-switches enabled
• You are responsible for understanding and reporting the tax implications of your trades (1% TDS, 30% gains tax under current Indian rules)
• You must not share your Vecktor account with others
• You must keep your login credentials, API keys, and TradingView webhook secrets confidential

9. Prohibited Uses

You may not use Vecktor to:

• Manipulate markets (wash trading, spoofing, layering, pump-and-dump)
• Circumvent exchange rate limits, KYC, or anti-abuse systems
• Trade on behalf of third parties without their knowledge (pooled funds, copy trading not authorised on Vecktor today)
• Reverse-engineer or scrape our service beyond documented APIs
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or other users' data
• Use the platform if you are sanctioned or resident in a sanctioned jurisdiction

10. Limitation of Liability

Vecktor is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any trading losses, lost profits, lost data, system downtime, exchange outages, slippage, latency, execution failures, missed kill-switch triggers, or any consequential, indirect, or punitive damages. If a court nevertheless finds us liable, our total aggregate liability for all claims is capped at ₹10,000 (INR ten thousand).

11. Service Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Scheduled maintenance, third-party outages (Supabase, Delta Exchange, cloud providers), and bugs may cause downtime. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature at any time with reasonable notice for material changes.

12. Account Termination

You may delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in abuse, or put the platform or other users at risk. On termination, your stored API keys are deleted; historical trade data may be retained as required by law.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified by email and/or prominent notice in the app. Continued use of the service after the notice period constitutes acceptance.

14. Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these terms shall first be addressed by good- faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Bengaluru, Karnataka, under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The language of arbitration will be English.
