Please read this in full. You must accept it before you can use the workstation. It covers what EXIT CODE is (and is not), that you direct and are responsible for every trade, the risks of trading, our liability, and confidentiality.
This Agreement is a legally binding contract between you (the individual named below, "you", "your", the "User") and the operator of EXIT CODE, the trustee for the Kritsotakis Family Trust (ABN 45 984 876 899) of New South Wales, Australia (the "Operator", "we", "us", "our", trading as "EXIT CODE"). By accepting this Agreement, creating an account, or using EXIT CODE in any way, you confirm you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by it in full. If you do not agree, do not use EXIT CODE.
1.1 EXIT CODE is a self-directed trade-discipline, charting, and rule-checking software tool. You set your own rules on a calm day; before a trade, the software checks your proposed trade against those rules and returns a "CLEARED" or "BLOCK" result, with a readout of how close you are to your own stated limits.
1.2 EXIT CODE is NOT, and does not provide: financial product advice; personal or general advice; a recommendation or opinion about any financial product or trade; a dealing service; portfolio or money management; a managed fund or managed discretionary account; a signal or trade-copying service; a broker, dealer, or custodian; or any guarantee, forecast, or assurance of any trading outcome, profit, or the avoidance of loss.
1.3 No advice, no reliance. Nothing EXIT CODE displays, calculates, or outputs, including any "CLEARED", "BLOCK", gate result, limit readout, or message, is financial product advice or a recommendation to acquire, dispose of, hold, enter, exit, or size any trade. A "CLEARED" result means only that your proposed trade matched the rules you defined; it is not our view that the trade is suitable or a good idea. You must not rely on EXIT CODE as advice, and must obtain your own independent financial, legal, and tax advice from an appropriately licensed professional before making any trading decision. We do not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence to provide personal financial product advice, and EXIT CODE does not take into account your objectives, financial situation, or needs. For the avoidance of doubt, a "CLEARED" result on a specific ticket is not a recommendation, invitation, or encouragement to place that specific order, and the availability of the one-click placement button is not a suggestion that you use it.
2.1 You initiate and direct every trade. You alone choose whether to trade, and you specify the instrument, direction, entry, stop, target, and size. EXIT CODE does not choose trades for you, does not trade on its own initiative, exercises no discretion over your account, and does not mirror or copy any other person's trades.
2.2 One-click placement is your instruction. Where you use one-click placement, no order is transmitted unless and until you click to place it. When you do, the software transmits an order for your specified instrument, direction, entry, stop, and target to your own connected brokerage account, as your agent carrying out your instruction and nothing more. The order volume is derived arithmetically from the risk amount, entry, and stop that you specified, using the sizing method shown to you before you click; that derived volume forms part of your instruction. You acknowledge that transmission is not execution: your broker executes the order, and the actual fill price, time, and quantity are determined by your broker and the market, and may differ from the values on your ticket (including through slippage, partial fill, requote, or rejection). The decision to place the trade, and the money behind it, is entirely yours.
2.3 Your account, your broker, your rules. You are solely responsible for your relationship with your broker and/or proprietary-trading firm, your credentials and security, your compliance with their terms and rules, and any consequences (including account breach, suspension, or loss) arising from your trading. EXIT CODE is not a party to, and accepts no responsibility for, that relationship. You are also solely responsible for configuring and maintaining any protections available on the broker or prop-firm side of your account, including account-level stop-outs, margin settings, and loss limits; EXIT CODE's gates and caps operate only inside EXIT CODE and are not a substitute for them.
2.4 Every trade and every dollar is your own decision and your own responsibility. You accept full and sole responsibility for all of your trades and trading decisions, and for all money you choose to put at risk and all losses you incur, whether or not you used EXIT CODE and whether or not a trade was "CLEARED". EXIT CODE / the Operator is not responsible for, and will not compensate, refund, or reimburse, any money you risk or lose.
2.5 Execution is optional, and you choose to use it. One-click placement is an optional feature. You are never required to connect a brokerage account or to place any order through EXIT CODE, and you can always place any trade directly with your broker instead. By connecting an account and clicking to place an order, you confirm you have chosen to use this feature and that this clause 2 applies to every order you place through it.
2.6 Order handling and failures. You acknowledge that: (a) EXIT CODE transmits orders; your broker executes them, and execution, pricing, fills, partial fills, requotes, rejections, and slippage are controlled by your broker and the market; (b) an order may fail to transmit, may transmit late, or may transmit with an outcome you can only see in your broker's own platform; (c) you are responsible for checking in your broker's platform that each order you place, through EXIT CODE or otherwise, has the status, size, stop, and target you intend, and for managing any open position, including where a transmission result is uncertain; and (d) if EXIT CODE reports that an order could not be confirmed, the order may or may not have reached your broker, and you must verify in your broker's platform before acting again.
2.7 Broker connection authority. By connecting a brokerage or prop-firm account, you authorise EXIT CODE to access that account through your broker's official interface for the purposes of this Agreement only: reading account, position, and price data to run the gates and readouts, and transmitting the orders you place under clause 2.2. You can revoke this authority at any time by disconnecting the account in EXIT CODE or through your broker. You are responsible for keeping your broker credentials secure and for the acts of anyone you allow to access your account or your EXIT CODE login.
3.1 Trading is high-risk. Trading financial products, and trading with leverage, involves a high level of risk and can result in the loss of some or all of your capital, and potentially more than your initial deposit. It is not suitable for everyone, and you should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
3.2 You understand and accept these risks and agree that you trade entirely at your own risk.
3.3 Hypothetical results. Any backtest, replay, or simulation shown by EXIT CODE is hypothetical, is based on historical or simulated data, does not represent actual trading, and is not indicative of and does not guarantee any future or actual result.
3.4 No guarantee EXIT CODE prevents losses. EXIT CODE cannot guarantee that you will avoid losses, avoid a prop-firm breach, or improve your results. The gates only ever reflect the rules and limits you set.
3.5 No earnings or income guarantee. We make no representation, promise, or guarantee that you will earn any income, recover any prior loss, become or stay profitable, pass or keep any prop-firm evaluation, or achieve any particular result. Any example, figure, or scenario shown is illustrative only. Individual results vary and depend on factors outside our control, including your own decisions, discipline, skill, and market conditions.
3.6 Blocks and lockouts are the product working. The whole purpose of EXIT CODE is to refuse to assist a trade that fails the rules and limits configured for your account. You acknowledge and agree that EXIT CODE may decline to run, clear, or transmit any order, including through a BLOCK result, a cooling-off lockout, a daily or risk cap, or a general or emergency suspension of placement, and that any such refusal, and any trade or profit you consequently did not make, is an intended function of the software and not a defect, failure, or breach. You remain free at all times to place any trade directly with your broker.
4.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, EXIT CODE and all related services, data, and content are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, availability, or non-infringement.
4.2 We do not warrant that EXIT CODE will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of inaccuracies; that any data, price, calculation, or gate result is accurate, complete, or current; or that any order will be transmitted, received, or executed at any particular time or price. Market data, connectivity, broker APIs, and execution are outside our control.
5.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, we and our related entities, officers, contractors, and agents will not be liable to you for any loss or damage of any kind arising out of or in connection with EXIT CODE or this Agreement, including without limitation: any trading loss, lost profit, or missed trade, whether "CLEARED", "BLOCK", or otherwise; any error, delay, interruption, downtime, bug, or inaccuracy in the software, data, or gate results; any failure, delay, rejection, partial fill, or mis-transmission of any order to your broker; any act, omission, failure, or insolvency of your broker, prop firm, or any third party; any unauthorised access to your account or credentials; and any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss.
5.2 You acknowledge that EXIT CODE is a low-cost software tool, that we do not share in your trading profits and do not bear your trading losses, and that this allocation of risk is a fundamental basis of this Agreement and is reflected in the price.
5.3 Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy you have under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (including the Australian Consumer Law) or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded ("Non-Excludable Rights"). To the extent we are permitted to limit our liability for breach of a Non-Excludable Right, our liability is limited, at our option, to re-supplying the software or service or paying the cost of having it re-supplied.
5.4 Liability cap. Subject to clause 5.3, to the maximum extent permitted by law our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with EXIT CODE or this Agreement is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you paid us for EXIT CODE in the three (3) months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) AUD $100.
5.5 Release. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release us and our related entities, trustee, officers, contractors, and agents from all claims and liabilities arising out of or in connection with your trading decisions, your trading losses, and the outcomes of trades you place, whether or not you used EXIT CODE and whether or not a trade was "CLEARED". This release reflects clause 2: every trade is your own decision on your own account. It does not release, and does not prevent you from bringing, any claim under a Non-Excludable Right, any claim arising from our fraud or wilful misconduct, or any claim that we breached this Agreement, and any such claim remains subject to clauses 5.3 and 5.4.
6.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, you indemnify and hold us and our related entities, trustee, officers, contractors, agents, and successors harmless from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including legal costs on a full-indemnity basis) arising out of or in connection with your trades and trading decisions, your use of EXIT CODE, your breach of this Agreement, your breach of any broker or prop-firm terms, your breach of any law, and any third-party claim arising from any of the above. Your liability under this indemnity is reduced to the extent that the relevant claim, loss, or cost was caused or contributed to by our breach of this Agreement, our negligence, or our wilful misconduct, and this indemnity does not apply to the extent it would limit a Non-Excludable Right.
7.1 You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old, have full legal capacity to enter this Agreement, are permitted by the laws of your jurisdiction and by your broker/prop-firm terms to use EXIT CODE and to trade, that any brokerage or prop-firm account you connect to EXIT CODE is your own account, held in your name or provided to you personally under your prop firm's terms, and that you will not use EXIT CODE to place orders on any account belonging to, or on behalf of, any other person, and are not accessing EXIT CODE from, or on behalf of anyone in, any jurisdiction where doing so is unlawful.
8.1 EXIT CODE and all of its software, source code, user interface, screen designs, the "gates" system, methodology, logic, thresholds, rules, content, documentation, branding, and know-how (the "IP") is and remains our exclusive property and/or that of our licensors. Nothing here transfers any ownership to you.
8.2 We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use EXIT CODE for your own personal trading, strictly in accordance with this Agreement, for as long as your subscription is active.
8.3 You must not, and must not permit or assist any other person to: (a) copy, reproduce, record, download, screen-capture, screen-record, transcribe, republish, distribute, resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise share or make available to any third party any part of EXIT CODE or the IP, including any course, module, lesson, video, audio recording, transcript, screenshot, or written or downloadable material; (b) reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, scrape, data-mine, or otherwise attempt to derive or reconstruct the source code, the gate logic, thresholds, methodology, or any underlying algorithm; (c) create any derivative, competing, or substantially similar product or service from any part of the IP; (d) remove or alter any proprietary notice; (e) share, transfer, publish, sell, lend, or disclose your account, your login, your one-time or "magic" login link, the email address used to access EXIT CODE, or any credential to any other person, or allow, enable, or assist any other person to log in to, use, or access your account. Your access is personal to you and is licensed to one individual only, one person per account; or (f) use EXIT CODE or the IP for any unlawful purpose or in breach of this Agreement.
8.4 Confidentiality (NDA). (i) "Confidential Information" means all information about EXIT CODE and the Operator that is not generally available to the public, including: the gates methodology, logic, thresholds, formulae, parameters, and algorithms; the content of any gate result, block reason, readout, limit, lockout rule, or in-product message; non-public features, source code, and technical design; and non-public pricing, commercial terms, and business or product roadmap; together with anything a reasonable person would understand to be confidential. Information does not lose its confidential character merely because it is displayed to you, or to other users, inside EXIT CODE in the course of authorised use; access under this Agreement is disclosure in confidence, not publication. (ii) You must keep all Confidential Information strictly confidential, use it only to use EXIT CODE under this Agreement, not disclose it to any other person, and protect it with at least a reasonable degree of care. (iii) Carve-outs. This clause does not apply to information that is or becomes public other than through your breach; that you already lawfully held free of any duty of confidence before we disclosed it; or that you are compelled to disclose by law, a court, or a regulator (where lawful, you notify us promptly first and disclose only what is required). (iv) This clause survives termination until the information ceases to be confidential through no fault of yours. (v) Use restriction. You must not use any Confidential Information to build, design, train, inform, or assist any product or service that competes with or substitutes for EXIT CODE, or to benchmark, replicate, or publish the gates methodology or its thresholds, whether by you or by any person you disclose it to. (vi) Return and destruction. On termination of your access, or at our written request, you must permanently delete or destroy all Confidential Information in your possession or control (including notes, screenshots, recordings, and extracts) and, if we ask, confirm in writing that you have done so. This does not require deletion of your own trading records that do not contain our Confidential Information.
8.5 Feedback. Any feedback, ideas, or suggestions you give us may be used by us freely, without obligation or payment to you.
8.6 Your content. You are solely responsible for anything you post, upload, submit, or transmit in any EXIT CODE community, channel, form, or feedback tool (your "Content"). You represent and warrant that you own or have the right to post your Content, and that it is lawful and does not infringe or breach the rights of any other person. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence, for as long as your Content remains on the service and as needed for backups, moderation records, and security, to store, host, display, moderate, remove, and otherwise use your Content to operate, secure, and improve EXIT CODE. We are not obliged to publish, retain, or monitor any Content.
8.7 Injunctive relief. You acknowledge that any breach of this clause 8 (intellectual property, restrictions, or confidentiality) may cause us irreparable harm for which damages alone are an inadequate remedy, and that we are entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief (in addition to any other remedy, and without the need to prove damage or post security) to restrain or prevent a breach.
9.1 Fees, billing, and renewal are as shown at purchase. Except as required by a Non-Excludable Right, or as provided by the Clean-Slate Guarantee at clause 9.2, fees are non-refundable, and no refund is given for change of mind or for any subscription period, feature, course, or content you have already been given access to. Your payment is for a software licence only, not for any financial service, financial product, advice, or trading outcome.
9.2 Clean-Slate Guarantee. Every paid plan (The Proving Ground and EXIT CODE Founder) includes this Guarantee: run the gates for 30 days from your first payment on that plan, and if it has not changed how you trade, email us once within that 30 days for a full refund of that payment. Paid-plan access (the workstation, the backtester, the full course, the Discord premium tier, as applicable to your plan) ends when the refund is issued; the free tier is unaffected and remains free regardless. This Guarantee is the only change-of-mind refund available under this Agreement; outside of it, clause 9.1 applies.
9.3 Chargebacks. If you believe a charge is wrong, contact us first and we will work with you in good faith; most billing issues are fixed within days. Except where you are exercising a Non-Excludable Right or a right under your card scheme's rules for an unauthorised transaction, you agree not to initiate a chargeback for a fee properly charged under this Agreement without first giving us that opportunity. If a chargeback is raised for a fee that was properly charged, we may suspend your access while it is open, treat the amount as a debt due to us if the chargeback succeeds despite the fee being properly charged, and recover our reasonable, evidenced costs of responding.
10.1 We may suspend, restrict, or disable any part of EXIT CODE (including one-click placement, including via an immediate global "kill switch") at any time where we reasonably consider it necessary for safety, security, legal, or operational reasons, and may terminate your access immediately if you breach this Agreement. We may also terminate your access for convenience on notice to you; if we do, we will refund the unused portion of any period you have already paid for, and that refund is your sole remedy for the termination. We are not liable to you for a suspension or termination made in accordance with this clause, subject always to clause 5.3.
10.2 You may stop using EXIT CODE at any time. Clauses that by their nature should survive (including 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9) survive termination.
11.1 If you access any EXIT CODE community, forum, chat, or server (for example our Discord), you agree to keep it respectful and lawful and to not: solicit, advertise, promote, recruit for, or sell any product, service, signal, fund, course, token, cryptocurrency, or scheme to other members (including any multi-level-marketing, "get rich", or similar offer); spam, scam, phish, or post malicious or deceptive links; harass, abuse, threaten, defame, or discriminate against any person; share, screenshot, or republish another member's or our private or confidential information; or impersonate us, our staff, or any other member.
11.2 The community exists to help you learn and stay accountable, not to be sold to. We may remove any content and suspend or permanently ban you from any community at any time, with or without notice, for any breach or for any reason, and are not liable to you for doing so. Access to the community is a privilege, not a right, and is separate from and additional to your software licence and this Agreement.
11.3 Other members. We do not endorse, and are not responsible or liable for, the content, opinions, conduct, or any product or service posted, shared, or offered by any other member or third party in a community. Your interactions and dealings with other members are solely at your own risk.
12.1 Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.
12.2 Changes. We may update this Agreement. For a material change we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email or by a notice inside EXIT CODE, and a material change to clauses 2, 5, 6, or 8 will also require you to accept the new version before you next use one-click placement. The version you accepted, and its date, are recorded against your access, and each version is archived so you can always see the exact text you agreed to. If you do not agree to an updated version, stop using EXIT CODE; clause 9 governs any refund.
12.3 Entire agreement / severability / waiver. This Agreement, together with the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy it operates alongside, is the entire agreement between you and us about EXIT CODE and supersedes any prior understanding. This Agreement operates alongside the EXIT CODE Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which continue to apply to your use of the website and your subscription. If there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Terms of Service or any other EXIT CODE page concerning the workstation, one-click placement, confidentiality, intellectual property, liability, or the release and indemnity, this Agreement prevails to the extent of the inconsistency. If any provision is unenforceable it is severed and the rest continues. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this Agreement; we may assign it to a successor or related entity.
12.4 Electronic acceptance. By entering your name and selecting Accept below, you sign this Agreement electronically. You agree that your electronic signature is the legal equivalent of your handwritten signature, that you intend to be legally bound by this Agreement, and that you have read and understood it in full.
12.5 Notices. We give you notices by email to the address on your account or by a message shown inside EXIT CODE, and a notice is taken to be received 24 hours after it is sent or first shown. You give us notices by email to info@exitcode.trade, and your notice is taken to be received when we acknowledge it or 2 business days after you send it, whichever is earlier. It is your responsibility to keep your account email current.
12.6 Disputes. If you have a dispute with us, contact info@exitcode.trade first with a description of the issue, and we will work with you in good faith to resolve it within 30 days before either of us starts court proceedings, except where urgent injunctive relief is sought or a Non-Excludable Right applies. Nothing in this clause prevents you from making a complaint to a regulator or exercising any statutory right.
12.7 Events outside our control. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events outside our reasonable control, including internet, hosting, or data-feed outages, broker or prop-firm outages or API changes, market closures or halts, denial-of-service or other attacks, strikes, natural disasters, war, or acts of government. This clause does not limit any Non-Excludable Right.
