Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 13, 2026 · Last Updated: March 13, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the quanttape.com website and the QuantTape software (collectively, the "Service") operated by Quant Tape LLC ("QuantTape," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Service Description

QuantTape provides security and code analysis tooling for algorithmic trading systems. Our Service includes a browser-based code scanner, a command-line interface (CLI) tool distributed via PyPI, and informational content about trading code security.

2. Not Financial Advice

QuantTape is a code security tool, not a financial product. We do not provide investment advice, brokerage services, financial recommendations, or trading signals. QuantTape does not execute trades, manage portfolios, or connect to broker APIs on your behalf. Any references to brokers, exchanges, or trading strategies on our website are solely in the context of code security scanning.

3. No Guarantee of Detection

QuantTape is designed to help identify common security issues in trading code, including hardcoded credentials, missing risk controls, and unsafe execution patterns. However, we do not guarantee that QuantTape will detect all vulnerabilities, security issues, or code defects. No automated scanning tool can provide complete coverage. You are responsible for the security and correctness of your own code.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Quant Tape LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, trading losses, data loss, or financial losses, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

QuantTape is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the reliability, accuracy, or completeness of the Service.

5. Use at Your Own Risk

Algorithmic trading involves substantial risk of financial loss. QuantTape helps identify code-level security issues but does not eliminate trading risk. You acknowledge that:

• You are solely responsible for your trading activities and their outcomes
• QuantTape scan results are informational and do not constitute a guarantee of code safety
• A clean scan does not mean your code is free of all issues
• You should conduct your own thorough testing before deploying trading code with real capital

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from QuantTape beyond what is permitted by applicable open-source licenses
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
• Misrepresent QuantTape scan results as a certification, audit, or guarantee of security

7. Intellectual Property

The QuantTape name, logo, website content, and proprietary scanning rules are the property of Quant Tape LLC. All third-party trademarks mentioned on our website (including Alpaca, Binance, Interactive Brokers, Coinbase, and Kraken) are the property of their respective owners. QuantTape is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any broker or exchange.

8. Email Communications

By providing your email address through our waitlist or contact forms, you consent to receive product-related communications from QuantTape. You may unsubscribe at any time by replying with "unsubscribe" or contacting us at the email below. We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act and will honor all opt-out requests within 10 business days.

9. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your information.

10. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved in accordance with applicable federal and state law.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
