Terms of Service

Effective: 2026-10-06 ｜ Operator: TickTest

Welcome to TickTest. These Terms govern your use of the TickTest quantitative backtesting service (ticktest.net and related APIs). By registering an account or using the service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Service Description

TickTest is a quantitative research and backtesting tool. It provides natural-language strategy parsing, historical backtesting, performance statistics, and API / MCP access for quant researchers and AI Agent users, via a web console and programmatic API.

2. Accounts & Security

You must register with a valid email address and keep your password and API keys secure. All actions taken through your account are deemed your own.
Accounts are for personal use only. Reselling, lending, or subletting API keys or accounts is strictly prohibited. We employ IP radar, concurrency gates, and rate limiting to detect abnormal sharing, and may throttle, suspend, or ban violating accounts.

3. Payments & Credits

Free tier: new accounts receive free backtest credits; selected strategies (e.g. Turtle Trading) are permanently free.
Paid products: pay-per-use backtests, starter packs, and monthly passes — pricing and entitlements as shown at checkout. Monthly passes are valid for 30 days and do not auto-renew.
Refunds: when a strategy text cannot be parsed, the credits consumed by that request are automatically refunded. Other refund cases follow the terms shown at checkout.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

use the service in violation of applicable laws or the rights of others;
scrape, stress-test, flood, or otherwise abuse or bypass the service's controls;
present backtest outputs to third parties as guaranteed-return claims or misleading marketing.

5. Investment Disclaimer (Important)

All backtest results, statistics, and signals provided by the service are for quantitative research and educational reference only, and do not constitute investment advice or any promise of returns. Past backtest performance does not indicate future results; simulated backtests differ from live trading due to slippage, liquidity, halts, and other factors. Markets involve risk. You are solely responsible for any investment decision you make.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TickTest shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, data loss, or lost profits. We are not liable for disruptions caused by force majeure or third-party services (market data providers, payment channels, cloud providers).

7. Changes & Termination

We may modify or discontinue parts of the service. You may stop using the service and request account deletion at any time. For material breaches of these Terms, we may suspend the service immediately without refunding unused credits.

8. Amendments

Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Hong Kong SAR, unless mandatory local consumer law provides otherwise. Disputes shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation.
