Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 11, 2026

Welcome to The Intelligent Trader, operated by DarkMode Devs LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), an Arizona limited liability company. By accessing or using our web application at theintelligenttrader.app (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

2. Account Registration

To use the Service, you must sign in using your Google account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

3. Description of Service

The Intelligent Trader is a trading journal web application that allows users to:

4. Not Financial Advice

The Service is a journaling and record-keeping tool only. Nothing provided by the Service, including AI Coach analyses and Ask Your Journal answers, constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or any other form of professional advice.

The AI Coach and Ask Your Journal features provide automated analysis of your self-reported trading data for educational and self-improvement purposes only. Their output is generated by a third-party language model (Anthropic Claude) and may contain errors, inaccuracies, or inappropriate suggestions. Ask Your Journal is designed to describe your own records and explain trading concepts, not to tell you what to trade or to predict market movements. You should not rely on AI output to make trading or investment decisions.

Where the Service shows how a prop firm account stands against its rules, such as its balance, drawdown headroom, daily loss allowance, consistency or progress toward a profit target, those figures are estimates calculated from the trades you log and the rule values you enter. They are not provided, verified or endorsed by any prop firm and may differ from your firm's own figures. Your firm's records determine your account's status, and you are responsible for confirming your standing with your firm.

We are not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, or financial planner. You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions and their outcomes. Always consult with a qualified financial professional before making investment decisions.

5. Subscription Plans and Payment

a. Plans

The Service offers the following subscription plans:

b. Free Trial

New users may be eligible for a 7-day free trial. Trial eligibility is determined at checkout and is limited to one trial per email address. Deleting an account does not make its email address eligible for another trial. After the trial period, your selected plan will be charged automatically unless canceled.

c. Billing

All payments are processed by Stripe. Subscriptions are billed monthly or yearly, depending on the billing period you choose, and renew automatically at the end of each period. You may change your plan or billing period, or cancel, at any time through the Stripe customer portal accessible from the app; any charge or credit resulting from a change is shown there before you confirm it. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. The price you subscribe at stays the same for as long as that subscription remains active, including renewals. If you switch plans or billing periods, the new choice is billed at its price at the time of the switch, and a subscription started after cancelling is billed at the prices then in effect.

d. Refunds

Subscription fees are generally non-refundable. If you believe you have been charged in error, please contact us at contact@darkmodedevs.com.

6. AI Features and Usage Limits

a. AI Coach Usage Limits

Each trade, plan, day, week and month can receive one AI Coach review. AI Coach reviews are also subject to a monthly usage allowance, which may change. The allowance is based on the amount of AI processing your reviews use rather than on a fixed number of reviews, and it is the same on every plan and whether you are billed monthly or yearly. The app tells you when you have used the month's allowance and when it resets, on the first day of each calendar month in US Eastern Time. Unused allowance does not carry over. A review the AI service fails to produce does not count against the allowance; a review interrupted after it has started, for example because you leave the page, may still count.

b. Ask Your Journal Usage Limits

Ask Your Journal is subject to monthly usage limits, which may change. The app shows how much of your current allowance remains and when it resets, on the first day of each calendar month in US Eastern Time. The same limits apply whether you are billed monthly or yearly. Unused allowance does not carry over, and a message that fails to receive an answer because of an error on our side does not count against it.

c. Conversations

Your Ask Your Journal messages, and the journal data sent with them, are processed by Anthropic to generate answers. Conversations are stored in your account so you can return to them, and you may delete any conversation at any time. Our Privacy Policy explains how this data is handled.

d. Acceptable Use of AI Features

You agree not to use the AI features to:

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, features, logos, and content (excluding user-submitted data), is owned by DarkMode Devs LLC and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the Service without our prior written consent.

You retain ownership of all trading data, notes, and other content you submit to the Service. By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display your data solely to provide the Service to you.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party services that are governed by their own terms and policies:

We are not responsible for the practices or policies of these third-party services. Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms.

10. Data and Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time through the app's settings. Account deletion immediately and permanently removes all your data from our database, including trades, premarket analyses, trading rules, AI analyses, Ask Your Journal conversations and usage records, and subscription records. This action is irreversible. The only exception is a one-way hash of your email address, kept so that the free trial cannot be used again, as described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any defects will be corrected. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI-generated analyses or content.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DARKMODE DEVS LLC, ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, TRADING LOSSES, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DarkMode Devs LLC, its officers, members, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

16. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and DarkMode Devs LLC regarding the use of the Service.
