Terms of Service

Last updated: August 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using QuantCrystal (quantcrystal.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the platform. These terms apply to all visitors, users, subscribers, and anyone who accesses the service.

2. Description of service

QuantCrystal is the algorithmic-trading research and tooling tier of MarketCrystal (marketcrystal.ai). It is intended to provide Monte Carlo simulation of strategy outcomes, backtesting through a real execution engine, access to curated market datasets, advisory guidance on building systematic trading strategies, and access to the Trismegistus analysis engine including regime detection, nowcasts, and a resolution-tracked prediction ledger.

As of the date above, QuantCrystal is a pre-launch informational website. No paid service, API, dataset access, or account system is currently operating. Descriptions of planned functionality are statements of intent, not commitments, and may change or be abandoned. The waitlist form on this site is not connected to a server and does not transmit or store your data.

3. Not financial advice, and not a registered adviser

QuantCrystal is NOT a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, financial analyst, or financial planner. Nothing on this website or in our communications constitutes investment advice, financial advice, or trading advice. All content — including simulations, backtests, datasets, regime classifications, nowcasts, predictions, and any advisory discussion — is provided for informational, educational, and research purposes only.

We do not manage accounts, hold customer funds, execute trades on your behalf, or exercise discretion over any asset belonging to you. Any decision you make and any trade you place is your own. Consult a qualified financial advisor, attorney, or tax professional before making any financial decision.

Advisory or bot-building guidance, where offered, is technical and methodological assistance in specifying and testing a system. It is not a recommendation to trade any particular instrument or strategy, and it is not a prediction that any system will be profitable.

4. Hypothetical performance

Simulated and hypothetical performance results have inherent limitations, are prepared with the benefit of hindsight, do not represent actual trading, and carry no representation that any account will achieve similar results. This is set out in full in our Disclaimer, which forms part of these terms and which you should read before relying on any output of this platform.

5. No guarantees on data or results

Market data, fundamental data, and macroeconomic series are sourced from third-party providers. That data may be delayed, revised, incomplete, or wrong, and errors in it propagate into every simulation and backtest built on it. QuantCrystal makes no warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any data, model output, simulation, or analysis provided through the platform.

Backtest and simulation outputs are estimates produced under stated assumptions about costs, fills, and market conditions. Changing those assumptions changes the result. No output should be treated as a prediction of the returns any real account will earn.

6. AI-generated content

Some analysis and written content is generated using artificial intelligence (Anthropic's Claude). AI output may contain errors, inaccuracies, or fabrications, is not reviewed by a licensed financial professional, and should be independently verified before being used as the basis for any decision.

7. Accounts and subscriptions

No accounts or paid subscriptions currently exist and nothing on this site is purchasable today. Prices shown for the Pro and Premium tiers are the intended launch prices in U.S. dollars per month; they are subject to change before launch and do not constitute an offer. Feature descriptions state intended scope, not delivered functionality. When paid tiers launch, the following will apply, and complete billing terms will be published before any charge is made:

• Billing: subscriptions billed on the interval selected at signup, through a third-party payment processor. You are responsible for providing accurate payment information.
• Auto-renewal: subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled beforehand.
• Cancellation: you may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current paid period, retaining access until then.
• Refunds: no refunds for partial billing periods, except where required by applicable law.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Redistribute, resell, or republish datasets, API responses, or model outputs obtained through the platform, or use them to build a competing service.
• Circumvent rate limits, access controls, or authentication, or attempt to access data or accounts that are not yours.
• Represent QuantCrystal output as your own research to third parties in a way that implies we endorse, advise on, or take responsibility for their trading.
• Use the platform for any unlawful purpose or in violation of market rules.

9. Third-party data licences

Datasets accessed through the platform remain subject to the licence terms of the provider they originate from. Your right to use such data is no broader than the licence permits, and some data may be available only in derived form for that reason.

10. Intellectual property

All content, methodologies, software, models, and design elements on QuantCrystal are owned by QuantCrystal and protected by applicable intellectual property law. You may quote or reference our published methodology with attribution to QuantCrystal (quantcrystal.com). You may not redistribute our data feeds, API responses, or analysis without prior written consent.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, QuantCrystal, its owner, operators, and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — expressly including trading losses — arising from or related to your use of or inability to use the platform, any output it produces, or any interruption, error, or defect in the service.

In no event shall total liability for all claims exceed the amount you paid for the service in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or one hundred U.S. dollars if you have paid nothing.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless QuantCrystal, its owner, operators, and contributors from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the platform, your trading activity, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any third-party right.

13. Governing law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Disputes arising under these terms are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of Texas.

14. Changes to terms

QuantCrystal may modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

15. Relationship to MarketCrystal

QuantCrystal and MarketCrystal (marketcrystal.ai) are operated by the same owner. Use of marketcrystal.ai is governed by that site's own terms, which are separate from these.
