Terms of Service

Last updated: 19 May 2026

The short version: EdgeAudit is a backtest tool, not investment advice. It does not place trades for you. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. You're responsible for what you do with the analysis.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the EdgeAudit Discord bot and the edgeaudit.app website (collectively, the "Service"), operated as a UK sole trader. By using the Service you agree to these Terms.

1. What EdgeAudit is

EdgeAudit is a backtesting tool delivered via Discord. You submit plain-English strategy descriptions and asset tickers; the Service returns statistical analysis of how that strategy would have performed on historical data, including Sharpe ratio, drawdowns, bootstrap confidence intervals, and walk-forward results.

2. What EdgeAudit is NOT

Not investment advice. Nothing the Service returns constitutes financial advice, a recommendation to buy or sell any asset, or a prediction of future performance.
Not a broker. The Service does not connect to your brokerage account or place real-money trades.
Not regulated as a financial advisor. EdgeAudit is a software tool, not an FCA-regulated investment service.

3. Risk acknowledgement

You acknowledge and agree that:

Past performance is not indicative of future results. A strategy that performed well historically may lose money in live markets.
Trading and investing involve substantial risk of loss. You can lose more than you invest in some derivative markets.
Any use of EdgeAudit's analysis in real trading is solely your decision and your responsibility.
EdgeAudit's statistical methodology (Bonferroni, bootstrap CIs, walk-forward) is designed to make overfitted backtests less misleading, but it does not eliminate the inherent uncertainty of financial markets.

4. Subscriptions and billing

Subscriptions are billed monthly in GBP via Stripe.
You can cancel at any time via the Stripe customer portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.
No partial refunds for unused time within a billing period.
VAT is included in displayed prices where applicable to UK customers.
Free tier limits (5 backtests/day, BTC + SPY only) may change with at least 30 days' notice.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use EdgeAudit in ways that violate applicable UK or local laws.
Circumvent rate limits, share paid-tier credentials across users, or otherwise abuse the Service.
Use the Service to harass other users or distribute illegal content via the Discord bot.
Reverse-engineer the bot's responses to extract proprietary methodology beyond what is publicly documented.
Resell EdgeAudit access or wrap it in a competing service.

EdgeAudit may suspend or terminate your account for abuse without refund.

6. Service availability

EdgeAudit is provided on an "as is" basis. We aim for high uptime but do not guarantee any specific service level. Maintenance, third-party outages (Discord, Cloudflare, AI providers, market data sources), and bugs may interrupt service.

7. Intellectual property

The EdgeAudit software, methodology, brand, and content of this website are owned by the operator. You may not reproduce, redistribute, or create derivative works without prior written permission. Your own strategies and queries remain yours.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by UK law:

EdgeAudit is not liable for trading losses, missed gains, or any financial outcome resulting from your use of the Service's analysis.
EdgeAudit's total liability arising from your use of the Service is limited to the fees you paid in the previous 12 months.
This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be limited under UK law (e.g., death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraudulent misrepresentation).

9. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. Material changes will be announced via the bot to active subscribers at least 30 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of England and Wales.
