Terms of Service

Trade X ("Trade X", "we", "us") operates a skill-based performance competition and social platform for traders. We are not a broker, exchange, bank, money transmitter, investment adviser, commodity trading advisor, fund manager or custodian of your trading capital. We never hold, direct or execute your trades. All trading happens in your own account at your own third-party broker or exchange, under their terms.

Everything on Trade X — playbooks, coach signals, Academy lessons, chat walls, ratings, leaderboards and statistics — is provided for informational, educational and entertainment purposes only. It is not advice, a recommendation, a solicitation or an offer to buy or sell any asset. Coaches, teammates and other users are independent individuals, not our employees or agents, and we do not review, endorse or verify anything they post or share. You are solely responsible for every trading decision you make.

Trading crypto assets and derivatives involves substantial risk of loss, including the total loss of your capital. Leverage magnifies losses. Past performance, ratings, win rates and profit ratios shown anywhere on Trade X are historical and are not indicative of future results. Volatility, exchange outages, liquidation, network congestion and regulatory change can destroy positions instantly. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose entirely.

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, whichever is higher), legally able to enter contracts, and not barred by the laws of your country, state or territory from participating in paid skill competitions. You are responsible for confirming that your use of Trade X is lawful where you are. We may restrict, geoblock or close accounts in any jurisdiction at any time, with or without notice.

You must provide accurate information, keep your credentials secret, and connect only real live funded trading accounts that belong to you. Demo, paper, simulated, shared, rented, copied or third-party accounts are prohibited. We may require identity verification (KYC) at any time and may suspend or permanently erase any account that appears fake, duplicated, automated, bot-operated, KYC-failed or fraudulent — including forfeiting any X Coin balance associated with it.

You may register either as an individual or as a business/corporation. Business accounts must complete the same identity verification for the authorised representative and must additionally supply a registered business name, a business registration number and genuine documentary proof of registration (for example a certificate of incorporation). By registering a business account you represent that the entity is lawfully formed and in good standing, that you are authorised to bind it, and that the documents you upload are authentic. We may reject, suspend or erase any business account whose documents cannot be verified. Business accounts remain fully responsible for their own tax, accounting, licensing and regulatory obligations in every jurisdiction in which they operate.

The Trade X Pass is $9.99 per month after a 3-day free trial, billed automatically to your payment method until cancelled. You may cancel at any time from your Locker or Billing page; access continues until the end of the paid period. Except where a non-waivable law requires otherwise, all fees are non-refundable and partial periods are not pro-rated. If a payment fails, access is suspended until the balance is settled. Prices may change with notice before your next renewal.

X Coins are a limited-purpose, non-interest-bearing digital credit used for competition entry inside Trade X. They are not legal tender, securities, e-money, bank deposits, investments or a store of value, they carry no ownership or governance rights, and they are not insured by any authority. X Coins are non-transferable between users except where the platform provides the function. Trade X charges a hosting fee of 3% of every competition buy-in, and payment processing fees are passed through to the purchaser at checkout. Withdrawals convert X Coins to crypto at 1 XC = $1 and are processed manually after review; we may delay, refuse or reverse any withdrawal we reasonably believe is connected to fraud, chargebacks, sanctions, money laundering or a breach of these terms.

Competitions are skill-based contests scored on verified profit ratio over the contest window. Entry fees are final once an entry is submitted. We may cancel, reschedule, re-score, void or refund any competition affected by data errors, exchange outages, manipulation, collusion, wash trading, cross-account hedging, insufficient participation or force majeure. Our scoring, ranking and dispute decisions are final. Prohibited conduct includes multi-accounting, buying or selling accounts, using undisclosed automation to fabricate results, or manipulating any market to win a contest.

You are solely responsible for determining, reporting and paying any taxes arising from your trading, prizes, withdrawals or use of Trade X. We may collect tax information and issue or withhold as required by law.

Individuals and businesses alike handle their own taxes. Trade X does not act as an employer, withholding agent, accountant or tax adviser for any user, does not calculate or remit income, corporate, sales, VAT, GST or capital-gains tax on your behalf, and provides no tax reporting beyond what applicable law requires of us. Business and corporate accounts expressly acknowledge that all tax filings, payroll, distributions to their own members and any tax owed on X Coin purchases, prizes or withdrawals are entirely their responsibility, and they indemnify Trade X against any tax, penalty or interest claimed by any authority in connection with their activity.

You may not: attack, probe, scan or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the platform, its APIs, its infrastructure, its database or any account other than your own; reverse engineer, scrape, spider or bulk-extract data; circumvent rate limits, paywalls, authentication or entitlement checks; upload malware; impersonate anyone; harass, threaten or abuse other users; post illegal, infringing or hateful content; or use the platform to launder funds or evade sanctions. Violations may result in immediate permanent removal, forfeiture of balances, and referral to law enforcement. Responsible security disclosures are welcome and should be reported to us before any public disclosure.

You retain ownership of the profile images, jerseys, logos, playbooks and messages you upload, and you confirm you have the rights to them. You grant Trade X a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, display, reproduce and distribute that content for the purpose of operating and promoting the platform. We may remove any content at our discretion and are not obligated to store or return it.

The platform is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Statistics are derived from third-party brokers, exchanges and data feeds that may be delayed, incomplete or wrong. We are not responsible for the acts, outages, insolvency, security failures or terms of any broker, exchange, payment processor, translation service or other third party.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Trade X and its owners, officers, employees and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or for any lost profits, lost trading opportunities, lost data, liquidations or trading losses, however caused and under any theory of liability. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the platform is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $100.

You agree to indemnify and hold Trade X harmless from any claim, loss, liability, damage or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the platform, your trading activity, your content, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

Contact us first: most issues are resolved informally within 30 days. If they are not, any dispute arising out of or relating to Trade X will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, not in court and not before a jury, under the rules of a recognised arbitration body in our place of business, in English. You and Trade X each waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective or representative action. Claims must be brought within one year of when they arise or be permanently barred. Where a non-waivable law gives you a different right, that right prevails to the minimum extent required.

You may cancel your subscription or permanently delete your account at any time from your Locker. Deletion removes your profile, stats, memberships, messages and balances and cannot be undone; unspent X Coins are forfeited unless you withdraw them first. We may suspend or terminate any account immediately for breach of these terms, suspected fraud or legal necessity. Sections 2, 3, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14 and 16 survive termination.

We collect only what we need to run the platform — account details, verification data, performance statistics and payment records — and we never sell your personal data. Payments are handled by our payment processor; we never store full card numbers. We may update these terms; material changes take effect when posted here and your continued use means acceptance. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
