Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between LEGAL ENTITY NAME, registered in COUNTRY OF INCORPORATION under company number COMPANY REGISTRATION NUMBER("we", "us", "EightLot") and you, the person or entity using the EightLot platform at eightlot.io ("you").

By creating an account, or by using the service, you accept these Terms, the Privacy Policy and, where you load client data into the platform, the Data Processing Addendum, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.

If you are accepting on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to bind it, and "you" means that company.

• You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to contract.
• The service is for business use by Introducing Brokers and their staff. It is not a consumer product.
• Access is granted at our discretion and may be limited to approved or invited accounts. We may decline or withdraw access without giving a reason.
• You are responsible for confirming that using EightLot, and operating as an introducing broker at all, is lawful where you are and permitted by your broker's own agreement with you. We do not advise on that and take no responsibility for it.
• You may not use the service if you are subject to sanctions that would prohibit us from providing it to you.

EightLot gives an Introducing Broker a single place to:

• read their own rebate, volume and client-activity figures from their broker's IB portal;
• see their sub-IB network and its performance;
• track clients through a follow-up pipeline with notes and reminders; and
• run their own Telegram bot to onboard, verify and re-engage clients.

We are an independent software provider. We are not a broker, not a financial institution, not a payment service, and not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting as agent for any broker whose data you view through the platform. We hold none of your money and none of your clients' money, and we play no part in whether, when or how much rebate a broker actually pays you.

EightLot is under active development. Features may be added, changed, restricted or removed at any time; interfaces and data formats may change; and the service may be interrupted for deployments and maintenance without notice. We may run features in a limited or experimental state. You should not build a business process that cannot tolerate this, and you should keep your own independent records of anything commercially important.

• Accounts are personal. Do not share your login, and do not let more than one person use one account - it defeats the audit trail and the security controls.
• Keep your password secret and use a strong one. You are responsible for everything done through your account until you tell us it is compromised.
• Tell us immediately at SUPPORT EMAIL if you suspect unauthorised access.
• Give us accurate registration information and keep it current.
• We may suspend a session, force a re-login, or block an address or device where our security systems detect abuse.

The dashboard works by signing in to your broker's IB portal on your behalf with credentials you provide. By supplying them you:

• authorise us to log in to that portal as you, and to read and store the data described in the Privacy Policy, for the purpose of operating the service for you;
• confirm the account is yoursand that you are permitted to grant this access under your agreement with that broker, and that doing so does not breach that broker's terms;
• accept that we are not responsible if the broker changes, blocks, rate-limits or terminates that access, or if it suspends your portal account for any reason including automated access; and
• accept that broker portals go down, change without warning, and sometimes return incomplete data, and that our figures can only be as good, and as fresh, as what they return.

The same applies to any other third-party account you connect. You can disconnect at any time in Settings, which deletes the stored credential.

You keep all rights in the data you bring into or generate on the platform. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, store, process, transmit and display it strictly as needed to operate the service for you, to keep backups, and to keep the platform secure. We do not use your data or your clients' data to build products for anyone else, to train models, or for our own marketing.

Because the platform holds personal data about real traders, you:

• act as the controllerof your clients' personal data and we act as your processor;
• warrant that you have a valid legal basis and have given whatever notices your clients are owed, in every country any of them lives in, for that data to be processed in the way the platform processes it;
• are responsible for answering your clients' data protection requests - we will help you, and we will forward to you anything a client sends us; and
• must not upload special-category data (health, biometrics, political or religious views and so on) into notes or any other free-text field.

The Data Processing Addendum sets out the detail and forms part of these Terms.

Messages sent by a bot you connect are sent by you, from your bot, under your name. We provide the mechanism; we are not the sender. Accordingly you are responsible for:

• complying with Telegram's own terms and any limits it imposes;
• complying with anti-spam and electronic marketing law in every country your recipients are in, including obtaining consent where it is required;
• the content of your message templates; and
• keeping your bot token secret and revoking it with Telegram if it leaks.

You must not use the reminder or onboarding features to send bulk unsolicited messages. We may disable messaging on an account that does.

You must not:

• access, or try to access, data belonging to another customer or to anyone whose data you are not entitled to see;
• probe, scan, load-test or otherwise attack the platform, or circumvent rate limits, bans, authentication or any other security control;
• scrape the platform, or use automated means beyond the API keys we issue you;
• resell, sublicense or provide the service to a third party as your own, or share your access with people outside your business;
• reverse engineer or copy the platform, except where that right cannot lawfully be excluded;
• upload malware, or anything unlawful, defamatory or infringing;
• use the service to launder money, to evade sanctions, to defraud traders, or to run any scheme misrepresenting trading outcomes; or
• supply credentials for an account that is not yours, or client data you have no right to hold.

Genuine, good-faith security research is welcome - report what you find to SUPPORT EMAILbefore disclosing it anywhere else, and do not access other people's data in the process.

EightLot is currently provided free of charge while in development. No payment feature exists in the platform: we do not take card details, we do not process payments, and nothing on the site will ever ask you for payment credentials. Treat any message that does as fraudulent and tell us.

We may introduce fees in future. If we do, we will tell you in advance and you will be able to stop using the service instead of paying; continuing to use it after a fee takes effect means you accept it. Any fees will be agreed with you separately in writing and settled outside the platform - for example by bank transfer - under whatever invoice or payment terms we agree at that point.

You are responsible for your own taxes. Any amount agreed is exclusive of VAT or other applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.

The platform, its software, design, branding and documentation belong to us and our licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of it to you. You get a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service for your own business for as long as these Terms are in force.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them freely and without obligation to you. This does not give us any right to your data.

• Nothing in the platform is financial, investment, tax or legal advice, or a recommendation to trade or to introduce anyone to any broker.
• Every figure shown - rebates, volumes, balances, deposits, client counts, forecasts, leaderboards - is derived from data your broker returnsand is provided for information only. It may be delayed, incomplete, or wrong if the broker's data is. It is not a statement of account and it is not a promise of payment.
• Your broker's own records govern what you are actually owed. Where our figures differ from theirs, theirs prevail. Check before you rely on a number for anything commercially or legally significant.
• Trading carries risk of loss, for you and for your clients. We are not responsible for any trading decision made by anyone.

There is no uptime commitment and no service level agreement. We aim to keep the service running and to fix problems promptly, but we may suspend it for maintenance, and it depends on third parties - your broker's portal, Telegram, our hosting providers - whose availability we do not control. Support is provided on a best-efforts basis at SUPPORT EMAIL.

By you. You may stop using the service at any time and delete your account from Settings. Deletion disables the account immediately and permanently erases it, and everything attached to it, after 30 days. Export anything you want to keep first.

By us.We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you breach these Terms, if your use threatens the security, integrity or availability of the platform or another customer's data, if we are required to by law, or if we reasonably suspect fraud or unlawful use. We may also discontinue the service, or your access to it, for any reason on reasonable notice - the service is free and in development.

On termination your licence ends, your data is deleted on the schedule above, and the sections which by their nature should survive (intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, governing law) continue to apply.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as is" and "as available", with no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, that the data shown will be accurate, complete or current, or that defects will be corrected.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, in which case the exclusion applies only to the extent permitted.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profit, revenue, rebate income, goodwill, business opportunity or data, however caused and on any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service, in any twelve-month period, is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you actually paid us for the service in that period and (b) USD 100. While the service is free, this means USD 100.

You accept that this allocation of risk is reasonable given that the service is provided free of charge and is in development, and that we would not provide it on any other basis.

You will defend, indemnify and hold us harmless against any claim, loss, liability, damage, fine or cost (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of: your use of the service; your breach of these Terms; the client data you bring into the platform, including any claim by a client or a regulator that it was collected, held or messaged unlawfully; messages sent by your Telegram bot; your relationship with your broker or your clients; or your breach of any law applying to your introducing-broker business.

We may update these Terms as the product develops. The version and date at the top always reflect the current text. For material changes we will give notice in the application or by email before they take effect. If you continue to use the service afterwards you accept the new Terms; if you do not accept them, delete your account.

These Terms are governed by the laws of GOVERNING LAW COUNTRY, without regard to conflict of law rules, and the courts of COURTS / CITY have exclusive jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence or of your right to bring proceedings there.

Before starting proceedings, please contact us at LEGAL NOTICE EMAIL so we can try to resolve the matter directly.

Entire agreement

These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Addendum are the entire agreement between us about the service and replace any earlier understanding.

Severability and waiver

If any provision is unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent needed and the rest stands. Not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it.

Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger or sale of the business.

Notices

We may give notice by email to your account address or in the application. Formal notices to us go to LEGAL NOTICE EMAIL.

Force majeure

Neither party is liable for a failure caused by something outside its reasonable control, including outages at a broker, at Telegram or at a hosting provider.

No third-party rights

Nobody other than you and us has any right to enforce these Terms.
