1. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: The Service is Not Investment Advice

This is the most important section of these Terms. Please read it carefully.

1.1. No Fiduciary Relationship

OptionsAware is a financial data and software tool. We are not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial planner. Your use of the Service does not create a fiduciary, advisory, or any other type of professional financial relationship between you and Scathefire Media Inc.

1.2. For Educational and Informational Purposes Only

The Service, including all data, analysis, scoring (such as the RAE algorithm), and information, is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is designed to help you analyze and monitor market data based on your own user-defined criteria.

1.3. You Are Solely Responsible for Your Decisions

You, and you alone, are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks associated with the use of any information or content provided through the Service before making any investment decisions. You are responsible for all trades you place and any and all consequences of your actions in the market.

1.4. No Guarantees of Performance

We make no guarantees as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any data or information provided through the Service. Past performance of any security, strategy, or algorithm is not indicative of future results. All investments involve risk, and you may lose some or all of your capital.

1.5. No Endorsements

The Service does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any security, nor does it constitute an offer to provide investment advisory or other services by us.

2. Description of Service

OptionsAware provides users with a set of software tools to access and analyze options market data. The Service allows users to:

  • Access real-time and historical market data for stocks and options.
  • Use impersonal, objective algorithms (like the RAE algorithm) to score and analyze opportunities.
  • Set up and configure their own trading parameters, filters, and rules.
  • Connect to their own brokerage accounts (e.g., Charles Schwab) via API to view data and, if they choose, to execute trades based on their own decisions.
  • Monitor their own positions and performance.

You direct the Service's functions through your explicit inputs and settings.

The Service may include automated features such as trade monitoring and order execution. These features operate solely based on your explicit configurations and inputs. We do not guarantee their performance, and you remain solely responsible for all outcomes.

Website Accounts and Linking

  • Website accounts use email + password as the primary identity.
  • Telegram linking is optional and cannot create website accounts; it enables chat features and secondary sign-in only.

3. User Accounts and Responsibilities

3.1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.

3.2. Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your website account (email + password), your Telegram account (if linked), and any connected brokerage accounts. Do not share credentials. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account.

3.3. Accurate Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when setting up and using your account.

3.4. Your Conduct

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.

3.5. Telegram Linking (Optional)

Linking requires an active website session. Only one Telegram account may be linked per user. If a Telegram account is already linked to a different user, you must unlink it from that account before linking. We may block or revoke links that violate these Terms or our policies.

4. Subscription and Fees

Certain features of the Service may require a subscription or payment. All fees are non-refundable except as required by law. We reserve the right to change our subscription fees upon reasonable notice.

4.1. Payment Terms

If you subscribe to paid features, you authorize us to charge your payment method for all applicable fees. Subscriptions may auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the renewal date. All payments are non-refundable except where required by law or in cases of our material breach.

5. License to Use the Service

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

The Service and its original content, features, functionality, and algorithms (including but not limited to the RAE algorithm) are and will remain the exclusive property of Scathefire Media Inc and its licensors. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Service or included software.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service integrates with third-party services, such as Charles Schwab and Telegram. Your use of these third-party services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible or liable for the content, products, or services of such third parties.

Market data provided through the Service is obtained from third-party sources and is provided "as-is." We make no warranties regarding its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness, and we are not liable for any errors, omissions, or delays.

8. Prohibited Activities

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Resell, rent, or sublicense the Service or any data obtained from it.
  • Use any automated system (bots, spiders, etc.) to access the Service in a way that sends more request messages to our servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period.

9. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms.

You may terminate your use of the Service at any time by discontinuing use and requesting the deletion of your account.
