1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using TradeDupe, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.
2. Eligibility and Accounts
You must be at least 18 years of age to use TradeDupe. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this requirement and that your use of the platform complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions may restrict or regulate copy trading activity — it is your sole responsibility to determine whether your use of TradeDupe is lawful where you reside.
You are responsible for account security and all activity under your account. You must provide accurate information and maintain current account details.
3. Platform Use
You agree not to misuse the service, reverse engineer the platform, attempt unauthorized access, or violate applicable laws and regulations.
4. Trading Risk Disclosure
Trading futures and other financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all individuals. You may lose more than your initial investment. Past performance of any leader account does not guarantee future results.
TradeDupe is a software tool that facilitates copy trading. It does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or performance guarantees. You acknowledge that:
- Execution of copied trades may be delayed, resulting in different fill prices (slippage) between the leader and follower accounts.
- There is no guarantee that follower trades will receive identical fills, quantities, or outcomes as leader trades.
- Differences in account size, margin, buying power, and allowed contracts between leader and follower accounts may affect trade execution and results.
- Orders may be partially filled or rejected by the brokerage for reasons outside TradeDupe's control.
- High-impact news releases, economic data events, and other volatile market conditions can materially increase slippage, price gaps, partial fills, rejected orders, and execution differences between leader and follower accounts. Copy trading during high-impact or highly volatile news events is not recommended.
- You are solely responsible for all trading activity on your connected brokerage accounts.
You acknowledge and agree that TradeDupe does not guarantee any special protection, delay prevention, fill quality, or loss avoidance during high-impact news events or other periods of extreme market volatility. You are responsible for disabling copy trading or reducing exposure when market conditions are unsuitable for your risk tolerance.
5. Regulatory Disclaimer
TradeDupe is not a broker-dealer, registered investment advisor, commodity trading advisor, or futures commission merchant. TradeDupe is not registered with or regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), National Futures Association (NFA), or any other financial regulatory authority. Nothing on this platform constitutes a solicitation, recommendation, or offer to buy or sell any financial instrument.
6. Credential Storage and Authorization
To enable copy trading and account monitoring, TradeDupe requires your brokerage (Tradovate) account credentials. By providing your credentials, you expressly authorize TradeDupe to:
- Store your credentials in encrypted form using AES-256-GCM encryption.
- Use your credentials to connect to your brokerage account, monitor positions, and place or close orders on your behalf as part of the copy trading functionality.
TradeDupe uses commercially reasonable security measures to protect your stored credentials. However, you acknowledge that no system is completely secure. TradeDupe is not responsible for unauthorized access to your brokerage account resulting from compromise of your TradeDupe account credentials, phishing, or other security events outside TradeDupe's reasonable control. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your TradeDupe login credentials.
7. Platform Administration and Account Access
You acknowledge and agree that authorized TradeDupe administrators may access your account in a read-only capacity for the purposes of providing customer support, troubleshooting technical issues, and ensuring platform integrity. Administrative access is read-only — administrators cannot place trades, modify connections, change your settings, or perform any actions on your brokerage accounts. All administrative access sessions are logged, audited, and automatically expire after one hour.
8. Third-Party Services
TradeDupe integrates with third-party services including, but not limited to, Tradovate (brokerage), Stripe (payment processing), and other infrastructure providers. TradeDupe is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or performance of these third-party services. Outages, API changes, order rejections, or failures by third-party providers are outside TradeDupe's control, and TradeDupe shall not be liable for any losses or disruptions arising from such events.
9. Payments and Billing
Paid plans are billed according to your selected subscription. Fees are non-refundable unless required by law or explicitly stated otherwise.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
TradeDupe is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. TradeDupe does not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that trade executions will be timely, accurate, or successful.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, TradeDupe and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to trading losses, loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the platform, regardless of the theory of liability.
In no event shall TradeDupe's total aggregate liability exceed the amount you paid to TradeDupe in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TradeDupe and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the platform; (b) your trading activity on connected brokerage accounts; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or regulation.
13. Termination and Suspension
TradeDupe reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that TradeDupe believes violates these Terms, is harmful to other users, or is otherwise objectionable. Upon termination, your right to use the platform ceases immediately. TradeDupe is not responsible for managing, closing, or liquidating any open positions on your brokerage accounts upon termination. Your stored brokerage credentials will be deleted upon account termination.
14. Intellectual Property
All content, features, and functionality of TradeDupe — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, software, and code — are the exclusive property of TradeDupe and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works based on the platform without prior written consent.
15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of TradeDupe shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Arbitration shall take place in Florida, and the arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.
You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against TradeDupe.
16. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the platform. Continued use of TradeDupe after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
