Terms of Service

Agreement and definitions

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you and Pro Trading Journal(“we,” “us,” “our”) governing your use of the Pro Trading Journal application and associated websites (the “Service”).

By creating an account, clicking “I agree,” or using any part of the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Definitions

• You / User: the individual or entity using the Service
• Account: the authenticated session tied to your email
• Content: trades, journal entries, rules, goals, and other data you submit
• Subscription: the paid plan that grants you access beyond the free tier

Eligibility and account

• You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction.
• You must provide accurate account information and keep it up to date.
• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account.
• One person per account. Sharing an account with another person is a breach of these Terms.
• You must notify us immediately at founder@protradingjournal.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

Plans, billing, and refunds

Plans

Pro Trading Journal offers an ongoing Starter plan and Pro (monthly or annual). Starter currently includes up to 50 new trades per calendar month, 1 manual portfolio asset, and 1 spot exchange connection with manual sync. Current pricing and feature limits are shown on the pricing page.

Billing

Pro is purchased with prepaid USDC on the Solana network. We do not collect a card or bank detail, and there is no stored payment method.

Being prepaid changes the terms in your favour:

• You pay once for a fixed period — 30 days or 365 days. Access begins when the payment is confirmed and ends when the period runs out.
• Nothing renews automatically. There is no subscription, no standing authorization, and no stored payment method. We cannot charge you again, because we hold nothing to charge.
• If you pay again before your current period ends, the new period is added to the end of the existing one. You never lose time by renewing early.
• Applicable taxes are added where legally required.
• Prices may change with 30 days' notice. A price change never applies to a period you have already paid for.

Cancellation

There is nothing to cancel. Because nothing renews, simply not paying again ends your access at the close of the period you paid for. You will not be charged, chased, or asked to confirm anything. Your Content remains yours and exportable either way.

Refunds

• Pro monthly and Pro annual purchases include a 7-day money-back guarantee: email founder@protradingjournal.com within 7 days of the charge and we will refund it in full, no questions asked.
• After the 7-day window, the period you paid for is non-refundable. Since nothing renews, no further payment is taken regardless.
• Refunds are sent to an address you give us and confirm at the time of the refund — never automatically back to the address the payment came from. If you paid from an exchange, that address belongs to the exchange, not to you, and funds sent there would most likely be lost.
• A refund is returned in the same asset that was paid. We do not convert to or from local currency, and network fees are deducted from the amount returned.
• If you believe you were charged in error, email founder@protradingjournal.com within 30 days and we will investigate.

Where consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction grants you stronger refund rights, those rights apply and nothing in this section limits them.

Starter plan rules

• The Starter plan is free with no fixed expiry and allows 50 new trades per month.
• Starter includes 1 manual portfolio asset and 1 spot exchange connection with manual sync. Automatic sync, futures sync, and additional exchanges require Pro.
• No card or payment wallet is required to start Starter.
• Attempts to circumvent the Starter plan limits (multiple accounts, synthetic emails, wallet or address reuse across accounts) are a breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination without refund.

Your data and content

You retain full ownership of your Content. We do not claim any right in your trades, journal entries, or analysis.

By uploading Content you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to store, process, display, and transmit it for the sole purpose of operating the Service for you. This licence ends when you delete the Content or your account.

You can export your Content at any time from the app. You can delete your account from the settings page or by emailing founder@protradingjournal.com.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Violate any law, regulation, or third-party right in connection with the Service
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service
• Scrape, crawl, or mass-download Service content without written permission
• Use automated tools (bots, crawlers, headless browsers) outside our public API if offered
• Interfere with, disrupt, or impose undue load on the Service or its infrastructure
• Circumvent rate limits, quotas, paywalls, or access controls
• Upload malicious code, malware, or content that infringes intellectual property
• Resell, sublicense, or make the Service available to third parties as a commercial service
• Create multiple accounts to abuse free trials or promotional offers

Exchange API keys

If you connect an exchange to auto-sync trades, you warrant that:

• You own the exchange account or have authorization to use the API key
• The API key you provide has read-only permissions
• You accept full responsibility for the consequences of providing any key with write, trade, or withdrawal permissions — we do not need these permissions and strongly advise against granting them

You can revoke a connection at any time from the exchange settings page. We encrypt keys with AES-256-GCM before storage and decrypt them only at the moment of syncing. We are not liable for losses caused by compromised keys, exchange outages, incorrect key permissions, or exchange policy changes.

Not financial advice

• We are not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial institution in any jurisdiction.
• Metrics, charts, behaviour tags, AI-generated insights, badges, and any other output are journaling aids — not advice.
• Past performance, simulated performance, and historical results shown in the app are not indicative of future results.
• Trading cryptocurrency, forex, equities, derivatives, and any leveraged instrument carries a high risk of loss, including loss of your entire capital.
• You are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks of any trading decision. Consult a qualified, licensed professional in your jurisdiction before acting on any information.
• We make no representation about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of market data displayed (which is sourced from third parties).

Intellectual property

The Service, its source code, design, branding, trademarks, written content (blog posts, in-app copy, documentation), and all associated intellectual property are owned by Pro Trading Journal or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose under these Terms. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property right to you.

Third-party services

The Service integrates with third parties including Clerk, CoinGecko, supported exchanges, Sentry, PostHog, and Vercel. Your use of those services through our integrations is subject to each provider's own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, or practices of third-party services.

Service availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be unavailable due to maintenance, third-party outages, network issues, or force majeure. We will give reasonable notice of planned maintenance where possible.

There is no service-level agreement (SLA) on current plans. Credits or refunds for downtime are not offered unless explicitly agreed in writing.

Termination

By you: you can delete your account at any time. Subscription cancellation is separate — see section 3.

By us: we may suspend or terminate your access immediately, without refund, if you:

• Materially breach these Terms
• Use the Service for illegal, fraudulent, or abusive purposes
• Create a risk or possible legal exposure for Pro Trading Journal or other users
• Attempt to reverse or invalidate a confirmed on-chain payment (e.g. a double-spend)

Upon termination, your access ends and we may delete your Content after 30 days unless legally required to retain it longer.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation.

We make no warranty that (a) the Service will meet your requirements, (b) operation will be uninterrupted or error-free, (c) defects will be corrected, or (d) market data will be accurate or timely.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties. In those jurisdictions the above exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pro Trading Journal, its directors, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for:

• Any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages
• Loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity
• Losses resulting from trading decisions, trading outcomes, or inability to execute trades
• Losses resulting from third-party services (exchanges, payment processors, data providers, hosting)
• Unauthorized access to or alteration of your data where caused by factors outside our reasonable control

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) USD 100.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, such as for gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Pro Trading Journal from and against any claim, loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right; or (d) your Content.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the competent courts of Islamabad, Pakistan, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Where mandatory consumer-protection rules in your country of residence give you the right to sue in your local courts, this clause does not override that right.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms when the Service changes or the law requires. If changes are material we will notify you by email or in the app at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept, stop using the Service and cancel any paid subscription.
