Terms of Use & Disclaimer
1. Acceptance of these Terms
By creating an account or otherwise accessing DarkSweep (the "Service"), operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] ("we," "us," or "Company"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use, including the Disclaimer below. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by requiring you to re-accept the Terms before continuing to use the Service. The "Version" and "Effective date" above identify the current revision.
2. Nature of the Service — what DarkSweep IS
DarkSweep is a market data and pattern-detection research tool. It aggregates publicly available and licensed market data — including options flow, dark-pool prints, sweep activity, technical conditions, and macro indicators — and surfaces computed observations such as unusual options activity, multi-signal convergence ("setups"), and historical reaction patterns at price levels.
The Service is intended for educational and informational research purposes only.
3. NOT investment advice — what DarkSweep is NOT
You acknowledge and agree that:
- We are not an investment adviser. Neither DarkSweep nor the Company is a registered investment adviser under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or any state securities law, and we do not hold ourselves out as one.
- We are not a broker-dealer. We are not a registered broker-dealer with the SEC or a member of FINRA, and we do not execute, facilitate, or recommend the execution of any securities transaction.
- No content is a recommendation. Nothing published, displayed, or communicated through the Service — including but not limited to setups, signals, sweeps, dark-pool levels, scoring, conviction bands, commentary, flagged contracts, watchlist suggestions, AI-generated responses, or any data visualization — constitutes an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, option, derivative, or other financial instrument.
- No personalized advice. Content on the Service is general in nature and provided to all users in substantially the same form. We do not know your individual financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, tax position, or any other personal circumstances, and nothing on the Service is tailored to them.
- No fiduciary relationship. No fiduciary, advisory, agency, or similar relationship is created between you and DarkSweep or the Company by your use of the Service.
- You make your own decisions. All investment, trading, and risk decisions are solely yours. You should consult a licensed financial, investment, tax, and/or legal professional before acting on any information obtained from the Service.
4. Risk warning — options and active trading
Options trading and active securities trading involve substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for all investors. You can lose more than your initial investment. Specifically, you acknowledge that:
- Options are leveraged instruments; small adverse moves in the underlying can produce large or total losses on premium paid.
- Patterns identified by the Service are based on historical and recent market data. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Patterns that have historically preceded a move may fail to do so in the future.
- "Unusual" options activity and dark-pool prints are observations of market behavior, not predictions. The Service cannot determine the intent behind any institutional trade.
- Market data may be delayed, incomplete, or in rare cases incorrect.
- Computed scores, conviction labels, and pattern detections are algorithmic outputs subject to model error and changing market conditions.
You agree that you understand these risks and accept full responsibility for any losses incurred from acting on information obtained from the Service.
5. No warranty as to data or content
The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or non-infringement.
6. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall DarkSweep, the Company, or any of its owners, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, or data providers be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, trading losses, business opportunity, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US$100.
7. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DarkSweep, the Company, and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and data providers from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of or access to the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right; or (d) any trading or investment decision you make based on content obtained from the Service.
