Legal Information & Terms of Service

1. Definitions

• "Alphaforge", "we", "us", "our" — the registered business entity that operates the Platform. Full company name, jurisdiction of incorporation, and registration number are on file with the operator and disclosed on request and in published company information.
• "Platform" — the Alphaforge website, web application, admin console, and related software services.
• "Services" — every product and feature available on the Platform, including (without limitation): copy trading, wallet funding and withdrawal, Master Trader profiles and connections, daily P&L distribution, subscription tiers, referrals, and the additional product categories described on our website (stocks, options, index options, futures, ETFs, OTC, margin, fractional shares; financial planning, private wealth management, estate planning, long-term care, business planning, strategic planning; two-factor authentication, custom risk controls, API access, advanced analytics, and others).
• "Master Trader" — a trader whose identity and trading record have been verified by Alphaforge and whose results may be followed by users.
• "User", "you", "your" — any natural person who registers an account on the Platform.
• "Wallet" — the digital balance held on your Alphaforge account, denominated in USDT or another supported asset.
• "Performance Fee" — the 10% fee on profits earned for you on a given day by a Master Trader you follow.
• "Subscription Fee" — the recurring fee for an Advanced or Pro subscription tier.

2. Eligibility

To use the Platform you must:

• Be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher.
• Have full legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.
• Not reside in, or access the Platform from, a jurisdiction in which the Services are prohibited or restricted by law or by Alphaforge's policies.
• Not be a person or entity subject to economic or trade sanctions administered by any government with jurisdiction over Alphaforge.
• Complete identity verification (KYC) before depositing or withdrawing funds.

We may refuse, suspend, or terminate access at any time if you fail to meet, or no longer meet, these requirements.

3. Account Registration and KYC

You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and KYC.
• Keep your account information current.
• Protect your account credentials and not share them with anyone.
• Notify us immediately at support@alphaforge.com if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

We may verify any information you provide, request additional documentation, and refuse or revoke access based on the outcome of those checks. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose, including money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, market manipulation, or violation of sanctions law.
• Register more than one account per individual.
• Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or compromise the security of the Platform.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Platform.
• Scrape, harvest, or otherwise extract data from the Platform without our written consent.
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with one.
• Submit false or misleading information during KYC or at any other time.
• Engage in conduct that we reasonably determine to be abusive, fraudulent, or harmful to other users.

Breach of this section is grounds for immediate suspension or termination under Section 9.

5. Fees

You agree to pay the fees applicable to your use of the Platform:

• Performance Fee. 10% of the profit a Master Trader earns for you on a given day. No fee is charged on losing days. The fee is computed automatically by the Platform and deducted from your Wallet on profit-distribution.
• Subscription Fee. The recurring monthly fee for the Advanced (USD 49 / month) or Pro (USD 99 / month) tier if you select one. Billing is monthly in advance. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. No refunds for partial months.
• Network fees. On-chain transaction fees on the Tron network. These are charged by the network and are not paid to Alphaforge.

We may change fees on at least 30 days' prior notice. Your continued use of the Platform after a fee change constitutes acceptance of the new fees.

6. Wallet, Deposits, and Withdrawals

• The Platform supports deposits and withdrawals in USDT on the Tron network (TRC-20). Additional networks or assets may be added in future and will be announced on the Platform.
• Sending USDT on any other network — including Ethereum (ERC-20), BSC (BEP-20), Solana, or Polygon — or sending any other asset to a TRC-20 deposit address will result in permanent loss of funds. Alphaforge cannot recover funds sent on the wrong network or to a wrong address.
• Deposits are credited to your Wallet within minutes of on-chain confirmation.
• Withdrawals are user-initiated, reviewed by Alphaforge, and processed within 24 hours during business days. Withdrawals above thresholds we set from time to time may require additional verification.
• We may delay or refuse a withdrawal if there is reasonable suspicion of fraud, money laundering, or breach of these terms, until the matter is resolved.
• We do not custody your funds in self-managed wallets; deposits and withdrawals route through an audited cryptocurrency payment processor with industry-standard custody practices.

7. Master Trader Connections

• Master Traders publish a verified track record, including ROI, win rate, drawdown, follower count, and trade history.
• You may connect to a Master Trader by entering their Trader Name and Hash ID on the Platform. The Master Trader's daily trading results are then distributed to your Wallet in proportion to your balance.
• You may disconnect from a Master Trader at any time, with disconnection taking effect from the next daily distribution.
• Past performance of a Master Trader does not guarantee future results. Following a Master Trader exposes you to that trader's decisions and to general market risk. See Risk Disclosure for the full statement.

8. Forward-Looking Statements

Alphaforge is actively expanding the Services. Public pages of the website describe features and product categories beyond the current launch product, including (without limitation): stocks, options, index options, futures, ETFs, OTC, margin, fractional shares; financial planning, private wealth management, estate planning, long-term care, business planning, strategic planning; two-factor authentication, custom risk controls, API access, advanced analytics, dedicated account management, and other features.

These descriptions are forward-looking. Some features described on the Platform are available now; others are in active development and will become available as we release them. We do not commit to a specific timeline for any particular future feature and may modify, delay, replace, or cancel any planned feature at any time, with or without notice.

You should not rely on the future availability of any unreleased feature in deciding whether to use the Platform today. What is available to you is what appears in your account after you complete registration. The fact that a feature is described on a marketing page is not a commitment that it is available today; the fact that a feature is in a subscription-tier description is not a commitment that the tier's features are all live today.

9. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform, with or without notice, if:

• You breach these terms or any policy referenced here.
• You fail or refuse to complete KYC or to provide additional verification when requested.
• We are required to act by law, regulation, or a competent authority.
• We reasonably believe your account is being used for fraud, money laundering, sanctions evasion, or other unlawful activity.
• Your account is inactive for an extended period.

You may close your account at any time by writing to support@alphaforge.com. Closure does not relieve you of any unpaid fees or other obligations under these terms. On closure we will return any remaining Wallet balance to the on-chain address you nominate, subject to our standard withdrawal review and any legal hold.

10. Intellectual Property

• The Platform — including its software, designs, content, brand, and trademarks — is the intellectual property of Alphaforge or its licensors.
• We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform for personal, non-commercial use, subject to these terms.
• You retain ownership of any content you submit to the Platform. By submitting content, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, store, transmit, and display that content as necessary to provide the Services.
• Alphaforge trademarks, logos, and brand assets may not be used without our prior written consent.

11. Third-Party Services

The Platform integrates third-party services for cryptocurrency payment processing, identity verification, hosting, and other infrastructure (see Our Partners and the Regulatory Compliance page). We select these providers with reasonable care but are not responsible for their acts or omissions. Your use of those services is also subject to the providers' own terms and policies.

12. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PUBLISHED ON THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING MASTER TRADER PROFILES, DAILY P&L DATA, OR EDUCATIONAL CONTENT, AND ARE NOT LIABLE FOR DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED ON THAT INFORMATION.

ALPHAFORGE DOES NOT PROVIDE REGULATED INVESTMENT, FINANCIAL, TAX, OR LEGAL ADVICE. INFORMATION ON THE PLATFORM IS GENERAL AND NOT TAILORED TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• Alphaforge is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses.
• Alphaforge's total aggregate liability to you under these terms in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of (a) the total Performance Fees and Subscription Fees you paid to Alphaforge in that period, or (b) USD 100.
• These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory of the claim and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in this section excludes liability that cannot be excluded by applicable law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Alphaforge, its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the Platform.
• Your breach of these terms.
• Your violation of any law or regulation.
• Your violation of the rights of any third party.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms will be resolved as follows:

1. The parties will first attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith through direct negotiation, initiated by written notice.
2. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of the negotiation notice, the dispute will be referred to mediation in Lagos, Nigeria, under the rules of a recognised Nigerian mediation body.
3. If mediation fails, the dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified to you by email and by a prominent notice on the Platform at least 30 days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to the updated terms, you must stop using the Platform before they take effect.

17. General

• Entire agreement. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Risk Disclosure, Capital Gains Tax page, Regulatory Compliance page, and any other policies referenced here, constitute the entire agreement between you and Alphaforge.
• Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
• Assignment. You may not assign these terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these terms to a successor entity on written notice.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure to perform caused by events beyond reasonable control, including acts of God, war, pandemic, government action, or failure of public infrastructure (including blockchain networks and internet service providers).
• Notices. Notices to you will be sent to the email address on your account. Notices to us must be sent to legal@alphaforge.com.
