Risk Disclaimer
Last Updated: June 12, 2026 · Version 2026-06-12
By accessing Ascent Terminal (the "Service") — the website, web terminal, desktop application, signals, alerts, bot, or any related software — you agree to this disclaimer in full. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Educational Use Only
Ascent Terminal is educational and informational software. Nothing provided through the Service constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, tax advice, or legal advice. All information is provided for educational purposes only. We are not a licensed financial advisor, broker, dealer, fund, or investment manager.
2. No Profit Guarantees
There are no guarantees of profitability, performance, accuracy, or future results. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Backtests, simulations, and historical results are hypothetical and may not reflect actual market performance.
3. AI-Generated Content
AI commentary in the Service is generated automatically from market data and your own settings. It can be wrong, outdated, or incomplete, is provided for context only, and is never a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold anything.
4. Trading Risk
Trading and investing involve substantial risk. You acknowledge that you may lose part or all of your capital. You should never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.
5. User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for:
- All trading decisions and investments;
- Exchange account and API key management;
- Risk management practices;
- Compliance with the laws and regulations of your jurisdiction.
Ascent Terminal does not make decisions on your behalf. Use only trade-only API keys with withdrawal permissions disabled to minimise risk.
6. Software Limitations
The Service may contain bugs, delays, outages, data inaccuracies, or technical failures. No software can predict markets with certainty. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, signal accuracy, or error-free operation.
7. Third-Party Risks
Ascent Terminal is not responsible for exchange failures, broker failures, data provider issues, connectivity problems, or API disruptions. Users assume all risks associated with third-party services.
8. Non-Custodial
We are non-custodial. We never hold your funds or positions, and we never store your exchange API keys at rest. Automation runs either on your own machine (desktop tools) or, for optional server-side features (bots and server-watched protective exits), on Ascent Terminal servers acting strictly on your configuration with credentials you supply per-session and can revoke at any time. You are solely responsible for securing your keys and for every resulting trade and outcome.
Automation is not guaranteed to act. Server-watched protective exits and bots depend on server uptime, data feeds, and exchange availability. They are NOT orders resting on an exchange: if the server is offline, rate-limited, or errors when a level is touched, no order will be placed and a position may remain open. Triggered exits execute as market orders and are subject to slippage, gaps, and illiquidity. Never rely on these features as your only risk control.
9. Jurisdictional Availability
The Service is not directed at any person in a jurisdiction where its use would be contrary to law or regulation, or which would subject Ascent Terminal to any registration requirement there. You are responsible for ensuring your use is lawful where you live.
10. Liability Waiver
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that Ascent Terminal shall not be liable for losses arising from trading activity, market conditions, software errors, signal inaccuracies, or third-party failures. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded; if you are a consumer, your non-excludable statutory rights are unaffected.
11. Acknowledgement
By using the Service, you acknowledge that:
- Trading involves significant risk;
- You are solely responsible for your decisions;
- You should consider seeking advice from an independent, authorised financial adviser before trading;
- You understand and accept the risks described in this Disclaimer;
- You release Ascent Terminal, its owners, employees, and affiliates from any claims, liability, or losses arising from your use of the Service.
