Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Aurondo website, dashboard and Expert Advisor (together, the "Service") operated by Aurondo("Aurondo", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What Aurondo is

Aurondo provides a proprietary automated trading Expert Advisor ("EA") — an algorithm that connects to your MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 brokerage account and automatically places and manages trades (currently XAUUSD / spot gold) on your behalf, based on the configuration you set.

• The EA has execution-only access to your brokerage account. We never take custody of, hold, withdraw, or transfer your funds — your capital remains with your broker at all times.
• Aurondo is a software tool. It is not a broker, bank, fund, portfolio manager, or financial adviser, and we do not enter into any fiduciary relationship with you.
• Nothing in the Service constitutes financial, investment, tax, accounting or legal advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to trade. All trading decisions and configurations are yours.

2. Test on a demo account first

We strongly recommend that you run the EA on a demo (paper-trading) account first, and for long enough to understand its behaviour, before connecting a live account or risking real funds. By choosing to run the EA on a live account you accept full responsibility for doing so and for all resulting outcomes.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. You must not use the Service where it is unlawful for you to do so, and you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service — and your trading of the relevant instruments — is lawful for you. If it is not, do not use the Service.

4. Accounts and access

We may, at our discretion, make registration open to everyone or limit it to invitation or referral — for example to manage capacity and onboard new users gradually. When access is limited, you will need a valid referral code or invitation to register. You agree to provide accurate information, to keep your login credentials secure, and that you are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use.

5. Connecting your brokerage account

• You authorise the EA to place, modify and close trades on the brokerage account you connect. You retain your own relationship with, and obligations to, your broker.
• Your broker credentials are encrypted and used only to operate the EA. You may pause or disconnect the EA at any time from your dashboard; pausing does not automatically close open positions.
• You are responsible for your broker's terms, leverage, margin requirements, spreads, swaps and any costs charged by your broker, and for maintaining sufficient margin.

6. Fees and billing

• Each connected trading account is charged a weekly subscriptionequal to the greater of £25 or £25 per whole £1,000 of that account's balance. The balance is read and the fee locked at the start of each weekly cycle.
• Fees are deducted weekly from your Aurondo wallet, which you fund with cryptocurrency. If your wallet cannot cover a charge, the EA is paused for that account until you top up.
• Fees are non-refundable. Cryptocurrency deposits are processed on public blockchains and are generally irreversible; you are responsible for sending the correct amount to the correct address.
• We may change pricing on a prospective basis; changes apply to future billing cycles.

7. Affiliate / referral programme

• We may offer a referral programme under which approved affiliates earn commissions. Terms, rates and eligibility are set by us and may change.
• Affiliates are independent third parties, not agents, employees or representatives of Aurondo. Aurondo does not endorse, verify, or accept any responsibility for any statement, claim, performance figure, earnings or profit projection, promise or representation made by any affiliate or other third party. Any such claims are made solely by that person, are not authorised by us, and must not be relied upon. The only binding statements about the Service are those published by Aurondo itself.
• We may withhold, reverse or adjust commissions, and suspend or remove any affiliate, for fraud, abuse, misleading marketing, or breach of these Terms.

8. Risk disclosure

Trading foreign exchange, gold and other leveraged instruments carries a high level of risk and can result in the loss of some or all of your capital. It is not suitable for everyone. You acknowledge and accept that:

• Leverage magnifies both gains and losses; you can lose money rapidly.
• Past performance is not indicative of, and is no guarantee of, future results. We make no representation that the EA will be profitable or will achieve any particular result.
• The EA can and may incur losses, including during volatile markets, price gaps, slippage, low liquidity, or broker, market-data or connectivity outages — even with risk settings configured.
• You are solely responsible for the risk settings you choose, for monitoring your account, and for all trading outcomes on it.
• Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

9. No liability for losses; limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Aurondo is not liable for any trading losses or for any loss of profit, revenue, capital, opportunity, data or goodwillarising out of or in connection with the Service, the EA's performance or decisions, market conditions, your broker or any third-party trade-execution infrastructure, downtime, interruptions, errors, or your own configuration or decisions, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, accuracy, or uninterrupted or error-free operation. To the extent any liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you is limited to the total subscription fees you paid to Aurondo in the three (3) months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (such as liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud).

10. Service availability and changes

We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, and operation depends on third parties (your broker, trade-execution infrastructure, payment and market-data providers). We may modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time, and may pause the EA for maintenance, risk, or operational reasons.

11. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Service, including by attempting to reverse engineer, copy, resell or sublicense the EA or software; interfering with or attacking the Service; circumventing security or access controls; or using the Service for any unlawful purpose.

12. Intellectual property

The EA, its algorithm, the software, the Aurondo name, branding and all related intellectual property are owned by us or our licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose while these Terms are in effect. No other rights are granted.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service and disconnect your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of these Terms, suspected fraud or abuse, non-payment, or as required by law. On termination your licence to use the Service ends; provisions that by their nature should survive (including risk disclosure, fees already due, disclaimers and limitation of liability) will survive.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified through the Service or by email. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
