Terms of Service

Effective Date: 25 April 2026
Last Updated: 25 April 2026
Version: 1.0

Important — please read in full. By accessing or using the GoldStrait platform, software, or services ("Service"), you accept these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy and Risk Disclosure. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Parties and Definitions

These Terms constitute a binding agreement between:

"Service" means the GoldStrait software-as-a-service platform, including blueprint generation, backtest reports, automated execution tools, dashboards, Telegram notifications, and related software components, made available via goldstrait.com or affiliated domains.

"Software" means the trading automation software components licensed to Users under these Terms.

"User Capital" means money, securities, or financial instruments held by the User in the User's own brokerage accounts (e.g., MetaTrader 5 accounts at brokers chosen by the User).

2. Nature of Service — IMPORTANT

2.1 Software License, Not Investment Service. GoldStrait provides software, hosting, and configuration tools. The Service is a software-as-a-service product. We are not:

2.2 No Investment Advice. Information, signals, backtest results, or strategy parameters provided through the Service are technical software outputs. They do not constitute, and shall not be construed as, individualized investment advice, financial recommendations, solicitations to buy or sell any financial instrument, or any form of regulated investment service.

2.3 User Discretion. Every trading decision is made by you. You configure parameters (risk levels, sessions, capital allocation). The Software executes within those parameters via API on your own brokerage account. You may pause, modify, or terminate the Service at any time using the kill-switch in the dashboard.

2.4 No Custody of Funds. Your User Capital remains exclusively in your own brokerage account at a broker chosen by you. We have no withdrawal rights, no transfer rights, and no read-only access beyond what is necessary for trade execution and reporting.

3. Eligibility and Geographic Restrictions

3.1 Age and Capacity. You must be at least 18 years of age and have full legal capacity to enter into binding contracts.

3.2 U.S. Person Exclusion. The Service is not offered to and shall not be used by U.S. Persons as defined under Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are not a U.S. Person, do not reside in the United States or its territories, and do not access the Service from the United States. We reserve the right to verify and enforce this restriction, including via IP geolocation.

3.3 Sanctions Compliance. The Service is not available to persons or entities located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in any jurisdiction subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, including but not limited to: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region, the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, and the Russian Federation (subject to applicable U.S. and EU sanctions). You represent that you are not on the U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN List, the EU Consolidated Sanctions List, or any equivalent restricted list.

3.4 Local Law Compliance. You are solely responsible for determining whether the use of the Service is lawful in your jurisdiction. You may not use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation.

4. Account Registration and Security

4.1 Accuracy. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep such information up to date.

4.2 Account Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities under your account. You will notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We provide adaptive authentication mechanisms (login notifications, email-based step-up verification, trusted device management) as additional security layers — you are encouraged to use them.

4.3 Two-Factor Authentication. We strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication. Failure to do so does not relieve you of liability for unauthorized account access caused by your negligence.

5. Subscription, Pricing, and Payment

5.1 Subscription Plans. The Service is offered as monthly and multi-month subscription tiers. Current pricing is published on goldstrait.com and may be updated from time to time with at least 30 days' notice for existing subscribers.

5.2 Setup Fee. A one-time setup fee (the "Blueprint Fee", currently 297 USDT) is charged at order placement. The Blueprint Fee covers personalized backtest engine compute time. The Blueprint Fee is fully credited toward the first Autopilot subscription month if Autopilot is activated within 30 days of Blueprint delivery.

5.3 Payment Methods. Accepted payment methods include USDT (BEP-20 network) and credit card via third-party payment processor. All fees are non-refundable except where required by mandatory consumer protection law in your jurisdiction.

5.4 No Performance Guarantee. Pricing is for software access. No fee constitutes payment for any guaranteed financial performance. See Section 6.

5.5 Engine-Output Promise. If, in less than 2% of cases, the engine cannot identify any deployable bot configuration matching your supplied parameters, we will re-run the engine with adjusted parameters at no additional cost until at least one deployable configuration is produced. This is a software service guarantee — not a financial performance guarantee.

5.6 Auto-Renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. You may cancel anytime via the dashboard.

5.7 Right of Withdrawal (EU Consumers Only). Pursuant to Articles 9–16 of EU Directive 2011/83/EU, EU consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal from distance contracts. By beginning to use the Service immediately upon purchase, you expressly request that performance commences during the withdrawal period and acknowledge that you will lose your right of withdrawal once the Service is fully delivered (which occurs upon Blueprint generation completion).

6. Trading Risk Disclosure

6.1 Total Loss Risk. Trading leveraged financial products such as CFDs, forex, and gold spot carries a substantial risk of loss, including the total loss of your invested capital. Pursuant to ESMA findings, between 74 and 89 percent of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should carefully consider whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

6.2 No Performance Guarantee. Past backtest results, simulations, live performance figures, and projections shown on our website or in the Service are not indicative of, and do not guarantee, future results. Markets change, conditions evolve, and a profitable historical strategy may underperform or lose money in the future.

6.3 Backtest Limitations. Backtest results are derived from historical price data and modeled execution assumptions (spreads, slippage, commissions). Real-world execution may differ materially from backtest projections due to market conditions, broker infrastructure, latency, and other factors beyond our control.

6.4 Your Responsibility. You acknowledge that all trading decisions are yours alone. You retain full control over your brokerage account, including the ability to halt trading, modify risk parameters, close positions manually, and disconnect the Software at any time.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Our IP. The Service, including all Software, source code, backtest engine, brand elements, documentation, and content, is and remains the exclusive property of GoldStrait Technologies, LLC and its licensors, protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

7.2 License Grant. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and timely payment of fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your own personal trading activities during your active subscription period.

7.3 Restrictions. You shall not, and shall not permit any third party to: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software; (b) resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service; (c) use the Service to provide a competing service; (d) remove or alter any proprietary notices; (e) use the Service in a manner that exceeds reasonable usage as determined by us in good faith.

7.4 Your Configuration Data. You retain ownership of your personal configuration parameters (risk levels, session preferences, etc.). The blueprint generated for you is your individual configuration of our Software — the underlying engine, algorithms, and codebase remain our IP.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

9. Disclaimers

9.3 Third-Party Services.

10.3 Trading Losses Excluded. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY TRADING LOSSES INCURRED IN YOUR BROKERAGE ACCOUNT, WHETHER ARISING FROM SOFTWARE OUTPUT, NETWORK LATENCY, MARKET CONDITIONS, BROKER ACTIONS, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE.

10.4 Mandatory Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GoldStrait Technologies, LLC, its members, managers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of applicable law or third-party rights, including any breach of the U.S. Person Exclusion or sanctions provisions in Section 3.

12. Termination

EU consumers may also bring proceedings in the courts of their country of residence to the extent required by mandatory consumer protection law.

15. General Provisions

15.1 Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
