Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using TradeRange (the “Service”), a free collection of stock-market themed puzzle games and educational content, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

What the Service includes. These Terms apply equally to (a) the TradeRange website at traderange.net, (b) the share host at trge.link (short URLs that redirect onto the website), (c) the TradeRange app for Android, distributed through the Google Play Store and as a direct APK download from traderange.net, and (d) the TradeRange app for iOS, if and when it is distributed through the Apple App Store (it is not currently listed). Each app is a bundled version of the same website. Except where a clause refers specifically to “the app”, “the Android app”, “the iOS app”, or “the website”, “the Service” means all of them. Opening a trge.link URL is using the Service. Section 4 sets out terms that apply specifically to the apps.

Who we are. TradeRange is built and operated by a group of volunteer maintainers under the tradely.dev community (“we”, “us”, “the operators”). We are not an incorporated company or a registered business, and the Service is provided free of charge with no commercial backing beyond the advertising described in the Privacy Policy. You can reach the maintainers by email at [email protected] or through the tradely.dev Discord; a postal address for formal legal correspondence is available on request to that address.

Nothing here removes your legal rights. These Terms do not exclude or limit any right you have that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit. In particular, if you are a consumer, you keep your statutory rights in full, and nothing in these Terms requires you to give up your right to go to court or to complain to a regulator. Section 20 explains how disputes are handled and which rights are unaffected.

Where the Service is hosted. We operate the Service on virtual private servers in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and the United States. Your account and gameplay data may be stored in any of those regions, including the United States, and may be moved between them as we operate the fleet. Traffic also passes through Cloudflare’s global network. Details are in the Privacy Policy (Section 8) and in Section 26 below. By using the Service you agree to that storage and those transfers.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country if that is higher (in parts of the EEA that is 14, 15, or 16), to use TradeRange. By using the Service you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms. If you are under 18, you should have your parent or guardian read these Terms with you.

We do not ask for a date of birth and cannot verify your age. If we learn that an account belongs to someone below the applicable age, we delete it and its data, as described in Section 13 of the Privacy Policy. A parent or guardian who believes a child has created an account can email [email protected]; no account is needed to make that report.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under Section 19, or if we have previously terminated your account for breach of these Terms.

3. User Accounts & Authentication

TradeRange uses Discord OAuth2, Google OAuth 2.0 (“Sign in with Google”), and GitHub OAuth 2.0 (“Sign in with GitHub”) for authentication. Which of those methods are currently accepted is controlled by the operators and can change; the login page only shows methods that are both configured and currently accepted. To play games, save progress and scores, and appear on leaderboards, you must log in with one of the accepted providers. We do not collect your email, password, or real name — your unique Discord, Google, or GitHub identifier serves as your player identifier. Guest play is not available. The apps require you to sign in to use them.

Your account is yours to look after. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account and for keeping access to your provider account secure. Tell us at [email protected] if you believe someone else is using your account. You may not sell, rent, share, or transfer an account, and you may not create an account on someone else’s behalf without their permission.

No password recovery exists. Because the design is pseudonymous, your provider identifier is the only key to your account. If you lose access to every provider account you have linked, we cannot restore your progress — there is no email address on file to recover it with. Link more than one sign-in method from Settings if that matters to you.

Authenticator (optional). You may add a TOTP authenticator app from Settings so sign-in also asks for a 6-digit code. It is not required. If you lose the device, contact an administrator; they can remove the authenticator from the account so you can sign in with the provider alone.

Authentication inside the apps. Google, Discord, and GitHub do not allow their sign-in pages to load inside an embedded app WebView, so the app opens the provider’s login in a secure system in-app browser (a Custom Tab on Android, a Safari-based view on iOS) and then completes sign-in through a one-time, short-lived link. Your provider password is never seen or stored by the app.

4. The Apps (Android and iOS)

The TradeRange apps are provided free of charge. The Android app is distributed through the Google Play Store and as a direct APK download from traderange.net. The iOS app is not currently listed on the Apple App Store; the terms below apply if and when it is. Your download and use of an app is additionally subject to the terms of the store you got it from — the Google Play Terms of Service or Apple’s Media Services Terms and Conditions. The stores are distributors only.

Licence. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, repackage, modify, or redistribute the app, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent that restriction is prohibited by applicable law (including your rights under EU or UK software-interoperability law).

Updates. We may release updates to add features, fix bugs, or maintain compatibility. Some updates may be necessary for the app to keep working. Whether store updates install automatically is governed by your device and store settings.

Self-updating (Android direct-download version only). Because the sideloaded build is not managed by Google Play, it keeps itself current: the app periodically checks our servers for the latest published build and, when a newer one exists, shows a dismissable in-app “update available” notice. If you choose to update, the app downloads the new signed APK from our servers over HTTPS (via Android’s system download manager) and hands it to Android’s package installer. Updates are never silent or forced — Android requires you to allow installing apps from this source and to confirm each installation, and you may dismiss or postpone any update (though running an outdated build may cause features to stop working). You grant the necessary “install unknown apps” permission to the app and can revoke it at any time in your device settings. Builds installed this way are subject to the same licence and these same Terms. The iOS app has no self-update mechanism and no direct-download version.

Notifications. With your permission, an app can send you notifications — both reminders scheduled on your device (for example, when the day’s puzzles reset at 00:00 UTC) and push notifications delivered from our servers (for example, announcements or new content). They are optional, both Android and iOS ask for your permission first, and you can turn them on or off at any time from Settings in the app or in your device settings. We may add further notification types over time, each individually controllable. See our Privacy Policy for how push notifications are delivered.

Offline use. An app stores a local copy of its interface and of content you have already opened, and of articles you explicitly download, so it can work with limited or no connectivity. Cached content may be out of date until the app can reach the network again; scores, leaderboards, and other live features require a connection.

Permissions. The apps request only the permissions they need to function — principally network access and, if you opt in, permission to post notifications. They do not request access to your contacts, location, camera, microphone, files, or other sensitive device data.

No third-party ads in the apps. Neither app loads AdSense or shows third-party advertising.

Additional terms for the iOS app (Apple). The following apply to the iOS app and are required by Apple:

• These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
• The licence granted above is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the app on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple’s Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that it may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• Maintenance and support for the app is our responsibility alone. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for it.
• If the app fails to conform to any warranty that applies, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (the app is free, so that price is zero). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app or your use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
• If a third party claims the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. See Section 19.
• You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the app.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they apply to the iOS app, and on your acceptance Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

5. No Financial Advice, Regulatory Status & Content Accuracy

Stock data, price movements, and other financial information shown in TradeRange games is obtained from third-party data sources and is presented for entertainment and educational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes investment, tax, or financial advice. Never make real trading decisions based on game data.

We are not regulated and we are not your adviser. TradeRange is not authorised or regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), is not registered with the SEC in the United States as an investment adviser or broker-dealer, and is not registered or licensed as a financial services provider in any jurisdiction. We are not a broker, dealer, exchange, custodian, or portfolio manager. We do not hold client money or assets. Nothing we publish is a personal recommendation: we know nothing about your circumstances, objectives, tax position, or risk tolerance, and nothing on the Service has been assessed for suitability or appropriateness for you or for anyone.

No offer or solicitation. Nothing on the Service is an offer, inducement, or solicitation to buy or sell any security, derivative, digital asset, or other instrument, or to engage in any investment activity, in any jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation would be unlawful or would require us to be registered or licensed. The Service is not directed at any person in a jurisdiction where publishing or making it available would breach local law, and it is your responsibility to know whether that applies to you.

Learn & Analysis content — for reference only. The articles, lessons, analyses, charts, and commentary published in the Learn and Analysis sections of TradeRange are provided for informational and educational purposes only. This content:

• May be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or reflect the personal opinions of the author.
• Does not constitute financial, investment, legal, or tax advice of any kind.
• Should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any financial or investment decision.
• May reference past market performance, which is not indicative of future results.

Markets carry risk. The value of investments can fall as well as rise, you may get back less than you put in, and past performance tells you nothing reliable about the future. Leveraged and derivative instruments can lose you more than your initial outlay. Always conduct your own research and consult a qualified, properly authorised financial professional before making investment decisions. TradeRange and its contributors accept no liability for losses or damages arising from reliance on content published in the Learn or Analysis sections, to the extent set out in Section 17.

AI-generated content. Some material on TradeRange is produced by artificial intelligence, including the daily AI News Brief and other AI-assisted writing. AI-generated content may be wrong, incomplete, outdated, misleading, or false. It may also express a political, economic, or other belief that differs from that of the website’s author or operator, and it does not represent the opinions of TradeRange or its operators unless we say so explicitly. Treat it as unverified. Do not rely on it as fact, as news, or as advice of any kind. The same applies when that material is shown in an RSS or Atom feed, a feed reader, an aggregator, a search result, or any other copy of our pages. Where we are aware that an item is AI-generated we label it as such.

Tell us if something is wrong. If you find an error in anything we publish, email [email protected] or raise it on the tradely.dev Discord and we will correct or withdraw it.

6. Simulated Trading, Scores and Virtual Items

Everything on TradeRange is simulated. This matters, so it is worth being explicit:

• No real trading takes place. Portfolios, positions, orders, and trades on the Service are paper only. No order is ever routed to a market, no security or digital asset is ever bought, sold, or held for you, and no real-world position is created.
• No real money is involved. The Service is free. We do not accept deposits, we do not process payments, we do not hold funds for you, and there is nothing to withdraw.
• Scores, points, streaks, rankings, and any in-game balance have no monetary value. They are a record of play, not property and not a credit balance. They cannot be redeemed, exchanged, cashed out, sold, or transferred, they are not convertible into anything of value, and they may be adjusted, reset, recalculated, or removed — for example to correct a bug, reverse cheating, or rebalance a game.
• This is not gambling and there are no prizes. There is no stake, no wager, no consideration paid to enter, and no prize. Leaderboards are for recognition only. If we ever run a contest with a prize, it will have its own published rules and those rules will govern it.
• Simulated results are not real results. Simulated and backtested performance has inherent limitations: it benefits from hindsight, it does not involve real capital or real risk, and it cannot reproduce slippage, fees, liquidity, spreads, taxes, or the way a real person behaves under loss. No simulated result on the Service predicts or suggests what any real portfolio would have achieved or would achieve.

7. Fair Play & Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Automate gameplay (bots, macros, scripted API calls) to farm points or unlock content.
• Scrape endpoints faster than a human pace or attempt to recover daily game secrets outside the game UI.
• Exploit bugs to gain unfair advantages; report bugs instead via our Discord (tradely.dev).
• Attempt to access, modify, or delete other users’ data.
• Create multiple accounts to manipulate leaderboards, attribution, or any limit we apply, or to evade a suspension.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure, or interfere with the Service or the servers and networks behind it — including by denial-of-service, flooding, or deliberately excessive load.
• Use the Service to break the law, to infringe anyone’s rights, or to harass, abuse, defame, impersonate, or threaten anyone.
• Extract, copy, or reuse substantial parts of the Service, its database, or its content by automated means, including for training a machine-learning model, except as expressly permitted in Section 9 or Section 24.
• Use the Service in any way that violates Discord’s, Google’s, GitHub’s, or Apple’s terms, or applicable laws.

Violations may lead to the measures in Section 14. We log enough data to detect automated or abusive behaviour, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Responsible security disclosure. If you find a security vulnerability, we would much rather hear about it than not. Report it privately to [email protected], give us a reasonable chance to fix it before telling anyone else, and do not access, modify, or retain data belonging to anyone but yourself while investigating. We will not pursue a complaint against good-faith research that follows that. We do not currently pay bug bounties.

8. Your Content and Conduct

The Service has only a few places where what you provide is visible to others — principally your display name and avatar (taken from your sign-in provider), your leaderboard entries, the names you give portfolios or rooms, and anything you send us such as a bug report or a feature suggestion. We call all of that Your Content.

You keep ownership. You own Your Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display it solely to operate and promote the Service — for example, showing your display name on a leaderboard. That licence lasts only as long as Your Content is on the Service and ends when you delete it or your account, except for copies in backups pending their ordinary destruction and for anonymised or aggregated records that no longer identify you.

You are responsible for it. You confirm that Your Content is yours to provide and does not infringe anyone’s rights or break any law. Do not use a display name, avatar, or portfolio name that is unlawful, infringing, obscene, hateful, harassing, or that impersonates another person, a public figure, a brand, or a TradeRange operator.

We may remove it. We may remove, rename, or hide Your Content, with or without notice, where we reasonably believe it breaches these Terms or the law, or where we are required to. Removing a display name usually means replacing it with a neutral placeholder rather than deleting the account. We are not obliged to monitor content, and doing so in one case does not oblige us to do so in another.

Feedback. If you send us an idea, suggestion, or bug report, you agree we may use it to improve the Service without obligation, payment, or confidentiality. You keep any rights you already had in it; we simply are not taking on a duty of secrecy for an unsolicited suggestion.

9. Intellectual Property

All code, design, game logic, and original content within TradeRange — including the apps and their bundled assets, and excluding third-party data and Your Content — is owned by TradeRange’s operators or their licensors and is protected by copyright, database, and other rights. You may not copy, redistribute, or create derivative works without prior written permission, except for the limited feed-reader licence in Section 24 and any rights you have by law that cannot be excluded.

What you may do. You may view, use, and personally enjoy the Service, and you may share ordinary links to our pages (including trge.link short links). Quoting a short extract with attribution and a link, for review, news reporting, teaching, or comment, is fine and is in any event protected by law in most jurisdictions.

What you may not do. Systematically copying, scraping, or mirroring the Service or its content; republishing our articles in whole or in substantial part; using our name, logo, or branding in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation; or using the Service or its content to train, fine-tune, or evaluate a machine-learning model, without our prior written permission.

Third-party marks. Company names, ticker symbols, logos, and trade marks referred to on the Service belong to their respective owners. We use them to identify the companies and instruments being discussed. That use is nominative and does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from those owners, and none of them is responsible for anything on the Service.

Open-source components. Parts of the Service include third-party open-source software used under its own licence. Those licences govern those components and nothing in this section restricts rights they grant you.

10. Third-Party Data, Services and Links

The Service depends on data and services we do not control: market data from third-party sources, identity from Discord, Google, and GitHub, edge networking from Cloudflare, advertising and analytics from Google, app distribution from Google Play and the Apple App Store, and video from embedded players. The services that receive or process your data are named and described in the Privacy Policy.

We choose our own data sources. Which providers, feeds, or exchanges we obtain market data from is an operational matter for us, and we may add, drop, or change any of them at any time without notice. We do not undertake to use, keep using, or disclose any particular source. No part of your account or usage data is sent to a market-data source (see the Privacy Policy).

Market data is provided “as is”. Prices, fundamentals, and other market data may be delayed, incomplete, adjusted, restated, or simply wrong. It is not a quote, not an executable price, and not an order. Neither we nor our data sources warrant its accuracy, timeliness, completeness, or fitness for any purpose, and none of them has any liability to you in connection with it. Nothing on the Service should be treated as an official record of any market or instrument — check the exchange or a regulated provider if you need one.

You may not redistribute it. Market data is made available to you only as part of the Service. You may not extract, store, redistribute, resell, or feed it into another product or model.

Links and embeds. Links to third-party sites, and embedded content such as videos, are provided for convenience. We do not control them, we do not endorse them, and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, terms, or privacy practices. Following a link is at your own risk and puts you under that site’s terms, not ours.

Dependencies can change or stop. If a third party changes its terms, prices, or availability, a feature of the Service may change or disappear with it. Section 15 applies.

11. Copyright Complaints, Illegal Content and Takedown

We respect intellectual property rights and we act on properly made reports. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright or another right you hold, or is otherwise unlawful, tell us and we will look at it.

How to report. Email [email protected] with the subject line “Notice of infringement” or “Illegal content report”, and include:

• Enough detail to find the material — the URL of each item complained of.
• What right you say is infringed, or why you believe the content is unlawful, with an explanation.
• Your name and contact details (an email address is enough; you may ask us to keep them confidential where the law allows, and you need not give them for a report of certain serious offences).
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, where you claim to act for the rights holder, that you are authorised to do so.
• Your electronic or physical signature.

What we do. We will consider the report without undue delay and in a diligent, non-arbitrary, and objective way. Where a report is justified we will remove or disable access to the material. We will tell you the outcome of your report and our reasons, and we will tell the person who provided the material (where we can reach them) what we did and why, so they can respond. Where we are legally required to, we will also tell you what redress is open to you, including out-of-court dispute settlement and the courts.

Counter-notice. If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, reply to us with the material identified, where it appeared, and why it should be restored, and we will reconsider. We will restore content that should not have been removed.

Abuse of this process. Knowingly making a materially false report, or one that misrepresents that material is infringing or unlawful, is itself unlawful in many jurisdictions and may make you liable for damages and costs. We may suspend handling of reports from a person who repeatedly sends manifestly unfounded ones, after warning them.

Repeat infringers. We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the rights of others.

12. Discord Server Directory

TradeRange publishes a public directory of Discord communities that have added the TradeRange bot. A listing shows information the community itself makes available through Discord, such as its name, icon, and description.

A server administrator may hide a server from the directory at any time by running the /settings bot command and using Hide from directory; the bot keeps working and only the public listing is affected. To reverse that, or to have a listing corrected or removed for any other reason, contact the maintainers via the tradely.dev Discord or at [email protected], and we will act without undue delay. Listing a community is not an endorsement of it, and we are not responsible for what happens in a third-party Discord server.

13. Account Closure & Data Deletion

Self-service deletion with a 14-day grace period. You may delete your account at any time from your profile page. When you confirm deletion, your account is immediately frozen and made non-functional – you cannot use it, and it is hidden from leaderboards and public profiles – and a 14-day countdown begins. You may cancel the deletion and restore full access at any point during those 14 days by signing back in and choosing “Restore my account”. If you do not restore it, your account and all associated data (OAuth identifier, avatar, scores, gameplay records, portfolios, sessions, and settings) are permanently and irreversibly deleted once the countdown ends. Deletion after the grace period cannot be reversed, and re-authenticating afterwards creates a new, empty account.

You may alternatively request deletion by emailing the maintainers at [email protected] or via our Discord; we will wipe your OAuth ID, scores, and session history within 30 days. Aggregated anonymised statistics may be retained for leaderboard integrity. Section 9 of the Privacy Policy sets out how backups are handled.

14. Suspension and Termination by Us

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service, or remove or reset content or scores, where we reasonably believe that:

• you have breached these Terms, in particular Section 7;
• your use of the Service is unlawful, or exposes us or other users to legal or security risk;
• you are below the minimum age in Section 2; or
• we are required to by law, by a regulator, or by a court.

Proportionality and notice. We will choose the least disruptive measure that addresses the problem, and except where that would be unlawful, unsafe, or would defeat the purpose (for example, active abuse or an ongoing attack), we will tell you what we have done and why, and give you a chance to put it right. Automated systems may impose temporary rate limits or blocks, but a permanent ban is decided by a person.

Appealing. If you think a suspension or termination is wrong, email [email protected] or raise it on the tradely.dev Discord. A maintainer will review it, and we will restore access where the measure was mistaken. Section 18 of the Privacy Policy covers your right to human review of an automated decision.

What survives. On termination your licence to use the Service ends. Sections 5, 6, 8 (as to licences already granted), 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22 survive.

You can always walk away. You may stop using the Service at any time, and delete your account as described in Section 13.

15. Availability & Modifications

The Service is provided on a best-effort basis by volunteers. We do not guarantee continuous or uninterrupted availability, and we give no service level, uptime, or support commitment. We may modify, limit, suspend, or discontinue any feature, game, article, or the whole Service at any time, with or without notice. This applies to both the website and the apps; app releases are delivered through the stores, and we do not guarantee that any particular version remains available or supported.

Where we plan to discontinue the Service as a whole, we will try to give reasonable notice on the website and on the tradely.dev Discord so that you can export your data first (Settings → Your data).

16. Disclaimers

Read this with Section 17. Together they set out what we are and are not responsible for. Neither of them takes away rights the law says you must keep — see Section 17 and Section 20.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, and we disclaim all warranties, conditions, and representations of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

In particular, we do not warrant that: the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; defects will be corrected; the Service or the servers behind it are free of harmful components; any content, market data, score, calculation, or AI-generated item is accurate, current, or complete; or that the Service meets your requirements or will produce any particular result.

Any material you download or otherwise obtain through the Service is obtained at your own discretion and risk.

17. Limitation of Liability

What we never limit. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: death or personal injury caused by negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including your non-excludable statutory rights as a consumer; or, where the law of your country so provides, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential loss; for loss of profit, revenue, opportunity, goodwill, or anticipated savings; or for loss or corruption of data, however caused.
• We are not liable for any trading, investment, or financial loss you suffer, or any decision you take or do not take, in reliance on anything on the Service — market data, articles, analyses, calculators, simulated results, or AI-generated material. The Service is educational and for entertainment; Sections 5, 6, and 10 explain why nothing on it is a basis for a real financial decision.
• We are not liable for loss arising from your failure to keep access to your sign-in provider, from a third-party service the Service depends on (Section 10), from content or conduct of other users, or from anything outside our reasonable control (Section 22).
• Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or otherwise, is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim arose, which for a free service is nil, and (b) one hundred pounds sterling (£100).

Who this protects. The limits above apply to the operators, maintainers, contributors, moderators, and volunteers of TradeRange individually as well as collectively. TradeRange is an unincorporated volunteer project run by individuals; this clause is how those individuals limit their exposure for running a free service, and it is a condition of our providing it to you at no charge.

If you are a consumer. We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these Terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen, or if at the time you accepted these Terms both parties knew it might. We do not exclude liability where the law of your country of residence does not allow it, and some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or of incidental or consequential damages, so parts of Sections 16 and 17 may not apply to you.

Business users. If you use the Service for any business purpose, you do so at your own risk, we have no liability to you for loss of profit, business, business interruption, or business opportunity, and the cap above applies to everything else.

18. Indemnity

If you use the Service in breach of these Terms or unlawfully, and someone brings a claim against us because of it, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operators, maintainers, and contributors of TradeRange against the reasonable losses, damages, liabilities, and legal costs they actually incur as a result.

This applies only to the extent the claim arises from your own breach or unlawful act — it does not cover anything caused by our own breach, negligence, or wrongdoing, and if you are a consumer it does not extend beyond what the law allows us to ask of you. We will tell you promptly about any claim we want covered, will not settle it without talking to you first, and will let you take over its defence if you want to.

19. Sanctions, Export Control and Prohibited Jurisdictions

You may not use the Service if you are located in, ordinarily resident in, or organised under the laws of a country or territory subject to comprehensive UK, EU, UN, or US sanctions or a US Government embargo, or if you are on a UK, EU, UN, or US list of sanctioned, prohibited, or restricted parties — including the US Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals list, the UK Sanctions List, or any equivalent.

You confirm that none of that applies to you, and you agree not to use the Service in breach of any applicable export control or sanctions law, or to make it available to anyone who is so barred. We may block access from a jurisdiction where we reasonably believe offering the Service would be unlawful or would require a licence we do not hold.

You are responsible for complying with the laws of the place you use the Service from. If local law prohibits accessing financial content, simulated trading, or any part of the Service, do not use it.

20. Governing Law, Disputes and Your Consumer Rights

Governing law. These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or with your use of the Service (including non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Your local law still protects you. If you are a consumer resident in the EEA, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another country whose law gives you protections that cannot be contracted out of, you keep the benefit of those mandatory protections and nothing in this section deprives you of them.

Courts. The courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. If you are a consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, and you may only be sued in those courts. “Non-exclusive” means neither of us is prevented from going to a court that properly has jurisdiction.

Talk to us first — but you do not have to. Most problems are faster to fix by email. We ask that you raise a dispute with us at [email protected] or on the tradely.dev Discord and give us 30 days to sort it out. This is a request, not a precondition: it does not waive, delay, or limit your right to go to court, to complain to a regulator, or to use any dispute resolution scheme open to you, and it does not affect any limitation period.

Alternative dispute resolution. We are not obliged to use, and do not currently participate in, any consumer alternative dispute resolution scheme. That does not affect your right to use one that is open to you, or to approach a consumer body or regulator in your country.

No class actions where the law permits that limit. Where enforceable and only to the extent enforceable in your jurisdiction, disputes are to be brought individually and not as a claimant or class member in a class, collective, or representative action. This paragraph does not apply where it is prohibited, and it does not apply to any right you have to a collective redress mechanism that the law of your country gives you.

Time limit. Nothing in these Terms shortens any limitation period that the law gives you.

21. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, to our operations, or to the law. The Last updated date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.

Where a change is material and to your disadvantage, we will give reasonable notice before it takes effect — a prominent notice on the website and in the apps, and an announcement on the tradely.dev Discord — so that you can read it and decide. Minor changes, corrections, and changes required by law may take effect immediately.

If you do not accept a change, your remedy is to stop using the Service and, if you wish, delete your account (Section 13); you will not be charged anything, because the Service is free. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect indicates that you accept it. Changes are not retrospective: a dispute that arose before a change is judged under the version in force at the time. We keep prior versions and will send you one on request.

22. General

• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it is severed or read down to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. If we delay enforcing a right, or do not enforce it on one occasion, that is not a waiver of it.
• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the Service and replace any earlier version. Nothing here limits your remedies for anything we said fraudulently.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms. We may assign ours to a successor who continues to operate the Service, provided your rights are not reduced; we will tell you if that happens.
• Force majeure. Neither of us is liable for failure or delay caused by something beyond reasonable control — including network or hosting failure, the acts of a third-party provider, power or internet outage, state action, industrial action, or natural disaster.
• Survival. The sections listed in Section 14 survive termination of these Terms, along with anything else which by its nature should.
• Notices. We give notice through the website, the apps, or the tradely.dev Discord; because we hold no email address for you, those are the channels that work. You give notice to us at [email protected].
• No partnership. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between us.
• Third-party rights. Except for Apple as stated in Section 4, and for the individual operators, maintainers, and contributors who have the benefit of Sections 17 and 18, no one who is not a party to these Terms may enforce any of them.
• Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience; the English version governs.
• Headings. Section headings are for reference only and do not affect interpretation.

24. RSS and Atom feeds

TradeRange publishes optional machine-readable feeds (RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0) at traderange.net/rss/. Subscribing is optional. The feeds are part of the Service and these Terms apply to them.

What a feed contains. Each item is a meta card: a title, a short summary or intro, a cover image when there is one, and a link to the corresponding page on the TradeRange website. Feeds do not contain full articles, full lesson or analysis bodies, or the daily market brief itself (its bullets, optional blocks, or any richer body). Opening the link on traderange.net is required to read the piece. If a feed reader shows you more than a card, that is the reader, not a licence from us to treat the feed as the article.

Limited licence to subscribe. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable licence to retrieve a feed for your own use in a feed reader and to display its items there. That licence does not include scraping the feeds, bulk downloading, republishing items as a competing feed or website, training a model on them, or any commercial redistribution. Titles, summaries, images, and other feed contents remain our intellectual property (or that of their respective owners) and are not released into the public domain by being syndicated.

AI-generated items. The daily market brief, and any other feed item we flag as AI-generated, is produced by artificial intelligence. It may be wrong, incomplete, outdated, misleading, or false. It is not news, is not financial, investment, legal, or tax advice, and does not represent the opinions of TradeRange or its operators unless we say so explicitly. You agree not to rely on it. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject always to Section 17, the operators and contributors are not liable for any claim arising from AI-generated feed content, including any loss you suffer by acting on it.

No warranty; copies we cannot retract. Feeds are provided “as is” and “as available”. We may change, pause, withdraw, or stop a feed at any time without notice. A paused or unpublished item is removed from our files; we cannot reach into a reader, aggregator, search index, archive, or cache that already stored a copy, and we are not responsible for copies those third parties keep or display. Third-party feed readers, aggregators, and search engines are not us; their terms, accuracy, and availability are their own.

Not financial advice. Nothing in a feed is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or other instrument. Past or described market moves are not indicative of future results. See Section 5.

25. Share links

TradeRange publishes optional short URLs on trge.link so a room, a scheduled lobby, an article, a game, or a calculator can be shared without a long traderange.net path. Opening one is using the Service. The destination remains a page on traderange.net; canonical addresses, search listings, and Open Graph previews stay there. We may change, pause, or withdraw the share host without notice. A paused or unknown short link returns an error page on trge.link rather than the website.

Attribution. Copied links include a share_id that identifies the person or campaign who shared the URL. Opening one stores that attribution on your device. Creating an account after opening one may send you through a short automated check at /botcheck/ (including a Cloudflare challenge) on that first sign-in so we can tell a person from a script. By using a shared link, or by creating an account after opening one, you agree that we may record that attribution on your device and, if you sign in, on your account, as described in the Privacy Policy. We use this to see which links bring players and to prevent abuse (for example self-referral or automated sign-ups). It is not a payment, a reward, or an offer of one.

26. Hosting and data location

The Service is hosted on servers we operate in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and the United States. We may add or replace servers in any of those regions. A signed-in account is homed on one server; we may move that home to another server in any of those regions, including from Europe to the United States or the other way. Third-party processors named in the Privacy Policy (including Cloudflare, Google, Discord, GitHub, and Apple) also process data in the United States and other countries.

Encryption at rest (SQLCipher for the database; AES-256-GCM for stored files) applies regardless of which country a server sits in. The Privacy Policy explains the safeguards we use for international transfers. If you do not agree to storage or processing in the United States, do not use the Service.
