Terms of service

The rules for using FlowTrade.

Last updated: 2026-06-24

1. The service in plain language

FlowTrade is open-source software for perpetual trading. Users operate their own instance or connect external data and execution infrastructure. FlowTrade does not custody assets, route orders to venues or provide investment advice.

2. Eligibility & account

You must be at least 18 years old to open an account. You are responsible for the accuracy of your registration data and the security of your credentials. One account per natural person.

3. No financial service, no advice

FlowTrade is not a regulated broker, exchange, custodian, money-services business or investment adviser. Nothing on the platform constitutes investment, tax or legal advice. Backtest results are based on live data and are not indicative of future returns in live markets.

4. Acceptable use

You may not (a) attempt to circumvent authentication, row-level security or rate limits; (b) reverse-engineer infrastructure for the purpose of harming the service; (c) use the platform to harass, defame or distribute malicious code; (d) scrape at volumes that degrade availability for others. Automated use through the documented APIs is allowed within posted limits.

5. Memberships & billing

Paid memberships (Operator, Strategist) are billed monthly in advance via our payment processor. You can cancel at any time; access continues until the end of the paid period. We do not issue refunds for partial months. Prices are exclusive of any local taxes that may apply.

6. Open-source licence

The FlowTrade source code is published under the Apache License 2.0. Use of the hosted service additionally requires acceptance of these terms.

7. Disclaimer & liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by Swiss law, FlowTrade's aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid to FlowTrade in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence remains unaffected.

8. Suspension & termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with or without notice depending on severity. You may terminate your account at any time from the settings page; deletion timelines are described in the privacy policy.

9. Governing law & venue

These terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Exclusive venue is Zug, Switzerland, subject to mandatory consumer protection rules of your place of residence.
