THE COMPANY DOES NOT MANAGE, POOL, OR INVEST FUNDS ON BEHALF OF USERS. ALL EVALUATION PROGRAMS AND FUNDED ACCOUNTS OPERATE IN SIMULATED OR PROPRIETARY ENVIRONMENTS AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE SECURITIES, COMMODITIES, OR INVESTMENT PRODUCTS OF ANY KIND.

1.3 Updates to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes by posting an updated version with a new effective date and, where appropriate, by email.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

2.1 Evaluation Programs (Challenges)

The Company offers fee-based trader performance evaluation programs ("Challenges"). A Challenge is a digital service providing access to a simulated trading environment for a defined period, during which the participant's trading performance is assessed against objective criteria. The Challenge fee is a service fee — not a deposit, investment, or capital contribution. Access to a simulated funded account may be granted upon successful completion, subject to the terms of a separate Funded Trader Agreement.

2.2 Simulated Funded Accounts

Funded Accounts are proprietary digital environments owned and operated by the Company. They do not represent real brokerage accounts, real market capital, or investment vehicles. Participants do not deposit funds and acquire no ownership interest in Company assets. Performance-based compensation may be paid under a Funded Trader Agreement, representing service fees — not investment returns.

2.3 Educational and Technology Services

The Company may offer webinars, courses, video tutorials, written materials, mentorship programs, analytics dashboards, risk calculators, and performance tracking tools. All such content and tools are provided for informational and educational purposes only and do not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.

2.4 What the Company Does NOT Provide

The following are expressly excluded from the Company's services:

Brokerage services or trade execution on behalf of users in real financial markets;

Investment advisory, portfolio management, or personalized investment recommendations;

Management, custody, or transmission of user funds;

Any service requiring a license from the SEC, CFTC, NFA, FINRA, or any state regulator.

3.3 One Account Per Person

Each person may maintain only one registered account unless otherwise expressly authorized in writing by the Company. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent evaluation rules, bans, or limits is prohibited and will result in permanent suspension of all associated accounts.
