Terms of Service.

01 Nature of the Service

Backcandle is a trading simulator for educational and practice purposes only. It does not constitute a brokerage, financial product, investment advice, or execution service. No real money is deposited, withdrawn, or traded. All "trades" and "positions" are purely simulated against historical candle data.

Past simulated performance is not indicative of future live-market results. Using this simulator does not guarantee profitability in live markets.

02 Accounts & Access

• You must authenticate via Google OAuth or the demo credentials to use the service.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
• You may not share, sell, or transfer your account to another person.
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
• One account per person. Creating duplicate accounts to circumvent usage limits is prohibited.

03 Acceptable Use

You may not use Backcandle to:

• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or systematically extract the historical candle data.
• Abuse the API or replay engine in ways that degrade service quality for other users.
• Circumvent rate limits, session limits, or any access controls.
• Upload or transmit malicious code, inject scripts, or attempt unauthorized access to systems.
• Represent simulated Backcandle results as live trading results to any third party.

04 Intellectual Property

The Backcandle codebase, UI design, and documentation are proprietary. The historical market data is sourced from public exchange feeds and third-party vendors under applicable data licences. You may not redistribute or commercialize any Backcandle content without written permission.

Your own session data — trades, journal notes, analytics snapshots — belongs to you. You may export it at any time via the Export function and delete it from our systems on request.

05 Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

Backcandle is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the historical data is complete or accurate. Historical candle data may contain gaps, adjustments, or errors inherent to the source feeds.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Backcandle and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including but not limited to losses incurred in live trading markets based on practice outcomes in Backcandle.

06 Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the Changelog page and, where possible, by in-app notification. Continued use of Backcandle after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

07 Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator is registered. Any disputes shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation before any formal proceedings.
