Terms of service
Draft of 2026-09-25. Not yet in force; to be reviewed by counsel before launch.
1. Who we are
These terms govern services provided by Holdout Labs [legal entity name, state] (“Holdout Labs”, “we”) to you (“client”) through holdoutlabs.io.
2. The service
We perform a statistical analysis of a trading strategy and data you supply, and deliver a written report. The scope of each tier is described on the pricing page at the time of order. The service is analysis of historical data only; see the disclaimer, which forms part of these terms.
3. No advice
We do not provide investment, trading, financial, legal or tax advice, and nothing in a report is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything. You agree not to represent our report as such advice or as a guarantee of performance.
4. Your materials
You keep all rights in the strategy, code and data you send. You grant us a limited licence to use them only to perform the service. You confirm you have the right to share them with us.
5. Confidentiality
We keep your materials and report confidential, do not trade on them, and do not disclose them except to the extent required by law. We will sign a reasonable mutual NDA on request. We delete your code and data within 30 days of delivery unless you ask us to retain them, or they are needed for an ongoing sealed trial.
6. Use of the report
You may share your report in full. If you share part of it, you must not present it in a misleading way, and you must include the grade’s disclaimer. You may not describe a report as certification of future performance.
7. Fees, cancellation and refunds
Fees are due at order and are in US dollars. If we cannot perform the audit with the materials available, we refund in full. If you are dissatisfied with a delivered report, notify us within 14 days and we will correct it or refund at our discretion. Sealed Forward Trial monthly fees may be cancelled at any time and stop at the end of the current month; the setup fee is non-refundable once the protocol has been sealed.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to a service is limited to the fees you paid for that service, and we are not liable for any trading losses, lost opportunities or indirect damages.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [state], United States. [Dispute resolution clause to be drafted by counsel.]
10. Changes
We may update these terms; the version in force at the time of your order applies to that order.
