These Terms govern your use of the AlphaQuantVibe Workspace(the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Nature of the Service
AlphaQuantVibe provides quantitative analytics, AI-assisted research tools and execution workflows. The Service does not provide investment advice, portfolio management or assured-return products. You retain full discretion and responsibility for every trading decision and order placed via the Service.
AlphaQuantVibe Technologies is NOT registered with SEBI as an Investment Adviser, Research Analyst, Stock Broker, Portfolio Manager or Mutual Fund Distributor.
TODO: 🔴 SEBI Counsel: Pick a regulatory lane. The current 'tool + signals + execution' framing straddles SEBI IA Regs Reg 2(1)(l) (investment advice) and the Feb 2025 Algo Trading Framework. Must say either: (a) pure quant tool — no BUY/SELL labels, OR (b) SEBI-registered RA/IA, OR (c) empanelled Algo Provider. See /app/memory/SEBI_LEGAL_REVIEW.md §1.
2. Eligibility & Accounts
You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction (and at least 18 years for Indian users per DPDPA 2023 §9) and hold an active account with a supported broker. Account credentials are personal and may not be shared. You are responsible for safeguarding your API keys and one-time passwords. Your relationship with the broker is governed exclusively by your broker agreement; AlphaQuantVibe acts solely as an order-routing utility.
TODO: 🟠 Confirm KYC reliance on broker — Zerodha Kite Connect Developer Agreement §6 requires the app to display Zerodha's risk disclosures.
3. Bring-Your-Own-Keys (BYOK) Architecture
The Service connects to your broker using API keys you provide. Orders are executed against your own brokerage account. AlphaQuantVibe does not custody your funds. You agree to indemnify AlphaQuantVibe Technologies for losses arising from (i) your broker's outage or rejection of orders, (ii) credential mismanagement on your part, and (iii) any regulatory action against your broker account.
TODO: 🟠 Add explicit user indemnity (Indian Contract Act 1872 §73; SEBI Algo Framework §6 responsibility matrix).
4. Subscriptions & Billing
The Service is offered across the Trial, Explorer, Pro and Elite tiers. Tier entitlements, billing cycles and refund eligibility are documented on the Plans & Billing page and supersede any inconsistent statement here.
TODO: 🟠 CPA 2019 e-commerce rules §5(2) requires name, address, grievance officer and return policy disclosed at point of purchase. Add link to Refund Policy.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to: (i) misuse the Service, (ii) attempt to bypass tier gates or rate limits, (iii) extract proprietary models or signals via scraping or scripted access, (iv) share API keys or accounts with third parties, (v) use the Service for market manipulation, wash trading or any conduct that would harm the integrity of markets or other users.
TODO: 🟠 IT Act 2000 §43, §66. List explicit prohibitions (scraping, multi-tenant abuse, key sharing, automated registration, wash trading).
6. Intellectual Property
All software, models, signals, scoring methodologies and documentation are the property of AlphaQuantVibe Technologies or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Open-source dependencies remain governed by their respective licenses; nothing herein restricts your rights under those licenses.
TODO: 🟡 Confirm licensor list — open-source dependencies retain their own licenses.
7. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
The Service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct, AlphaQuantVibe Technologiesshall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for trading losses arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service. In no event shall AlphaQuantVibe Technologies's aggregate liability exceed the lower of (a) the fees paid by you in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) ₹10,000.
TODO: 🔴 Indian courts read down blanket disclaimers. Insert quantified cap (LIC v. CERC (1995) 5 SCC 482; CPA 2019 §2(47)). Carve out gross negligence + wilful misconduct.
8. Termination & Data Export
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for violations of these Terms or applicable law. Upon termination, you may export your trade and order history in CSV or JSON format for up to 30 days from the termination date; thereafter retention is governed by §5 of the Privacy Policy.
TODO: 🟡 DPDPA 2023 §13 — right to portability. 30-day export window confirmed.
9. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at [city — to be confirmed by counsel] shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. Parties shall first attempt resolution through arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with a sole arbitrator and seat at the same city.
TODO: 🟠 Indian Contract Act 1872 §28 — name the city + arbitration seat explicitly.
