2. Description of Services

BDPO provides a browser-based backtesting platform for simulating trading strategies using historical market data. The Services allow users to create, test, and analyze trading strategies through both coded and codeless interfaces.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. The backtesting results, analytics, and any other information provided through our Services are simulations based on historical data and do not represent actual trading results or guarantee future performance.

3. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE - CRITICAL DISCLAIMER

THE SERVICES DO NOT CONSTITUTE FINANCIAL, INVESTMENT, TRADING, TAX, LEGAL, OR ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. BDPO Ltd is not a financial advisor, broker, dealer, investment advisor, or any other regulated financial services provider.

  • We do not recommend any specific investments, securities, or trading strategies
  • Backtesting results are hypothetical and based on historical data only
  • Past performance is not indicative of future results
  • Simulated trading does not involve actual financial risk and cannot completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading
  • There are numerous factors related to markets that cannot be fully accounted for in backtesting simulations
  • Any trading or investment decisions you make are solely your own responsibility

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CONSULT WITH QUALIFIED FINANCIAL, LEGAL, AND TAX PROFESSIONALS BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT OR TRADING DECISIONS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN FINANCIAL DECISIONS AND THAT BDPO LTD BEARS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES YOU MAY INCUR.

4. Risk Acknowledgment

  • Trading and investing in financial markets involves substantial risk of loss
  • You may lose some or all of your invested capital
  • Backtesting results do not guarantee future performance
  • Historical data may contain errors, gaps, or inaccuracies
  • Market conditions change and past patterns may not repeat
  • Slippage, commissions, taxes, and other factors may significantly impact real trading results
  • You are solely responsible for evaluating the risks and merits of any trading decision
  • You have the financial resources to bear any losses that may result from trading
  • You will not rely solely on our Services when making trading or investment decisions

You retain ownership of strategies, code, and content you create using our Services, but you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, store, and process such content as necessary to provide the Services.

8. Data and Accuracy

WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, OR RELIABILITY OF ANY DATA, INFORMATION, OR CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH OUR SERVICES. Historical market data, prices, indicators, and calculations may contain errors or inaccuracies. You acknowledge that:

  • Data is provided "as is" without any warranty
  • We are not responsible for any errors in data or calculations
  • You should independently verify any information before making decisions
  • Data sources may have limitations, gaps, or biases

9. Local Resource Usage and Data Persistence

The Services may perform computations and store certain information using a combination of client-side (on-device) processing and server-side storage. You acknowledge and agree to the following:

9.1 Client-Side Processing

The Service utilizes a decentralized, client-side architecture to perform computations. By initiating a backtest or strategy simulation, you acknowledge and agree that the Service may utilize your device’s local processing power (CPU), memory (RAM), and battery life. Complex simulations (including high-frequency or high-resolution backtests) may result in significant system resource consumption, which could temporarily affect the performance of other applications on your device or increase device temperature.

9.2 Local Storage and Caching (Browser Storage)

To optimize performance and improve your experience, we may store certain data locally on your device using browser-based storage technologies (such as IndexedDB and localStorage). This may include cached historical candle data, charting state, UI preferences, and other non-sensitive application data.

Locally stored data is intended to improve performance and convenience. Unless explicitly stated in the product (for example, where you choose to save, sync, or export), this local cache is not intended to be a reliable backup.

9.3 Volatility of Local Data

You understand that data stored via local browser technologies is volatile. Your cached backtest history, simulation results, or other locally stored information may be permanently lost or inaccessible if:

  • You clear your browser’s cache, cookies, or site data
  • Your device runs low on available disk space (triggering automatic browser cleanup)
  • You access the Service from a different browser or a different device
  • You use “Private”, “Incognito”, or “Guest” browsing modes

9.4 Limitation of Liability for Local Data Loss

BDPO Ltd is not responsible for any loss of simulation data, trade history, or strategy performance metrics resulting from local storage failures, browser settings, device limitations, or user-initiated data clearing. Where export or download functionality is provided, we strongly recommend exporting critical result summaries promptly after simulation.

9.5 Server-Side Storage and Syncing

To provide core functionality and a better user experience (including access across devices, account continuity, and product improvements), we may store certain information on our servers when you use the Services. This may include:

  • Account information and authentication/session data
  • Saved strategies and configurations (coded and codeless)
  • Backtest runs and related performance statistics/metrics (where you run or save them under your account)
  • Subscription/billing status and related metadata (if applicable)
  • Product settings and preferences (e.g., editor settings) associated with your account

Server-side storage is subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable law. We do not guarantee that stored results will be available indefinitely and may impose retention limits, quotas, or plan-based limits.

10. Payment Terms

Certain features require a paid subscription. By subscribing, you agree to:

  • Pay all applicable fees as described at time of purchase
  • Provide accurate payment information
  • Authorize recurring charges for subscription services
  • Accept that fees are non-refundable except as required by law

We reserve the right to modify pricing at any time. Price changes will apply to subsequent billing periods after notice is provided.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered in accordance with the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA). The seat of arbitration shall be London, England. The language of arbitration shall be English.

YOU AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS. All claims must be brought in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding.

The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs, and the parties shall share equally the costs of arbitration.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles. Subject to the arbitration provisions above, any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the courts of England and Wales, and you hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue therein.

19. Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, pandemic, strikes, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.

20. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent.

21. Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of BDPO Ltd.
