Please read this Agreement before joining the Trade Grounded Beta Program.
This Beta Tester Agreement ("Agreement") is between you ("Beta Tester") and SQ Performance Systems LLC, doing business as Trade Grounded. By enrolling in the Beta Program, you agree to be bound by these terms. This Agreement is separate from and in addition to our standard Terms of Service.
The software you are accessing is beta software — a pre-release version that is still being built, tested, and refined. It is not a finished commercial product. Beta software may contain bugs, errors, incomplete features, unexpected behavior, and performance issues. Features may change before or at full launch. We do not guarantee that the software will operate without interruption or error during the beta period. You are voluntarily choosing to access and use unfinished software.
Any feedback you provide — bug reports, feature requests, observations, suggestions, through any channel including email, Discord, or direct messages — becomes the sole and exclusive property of SQ Performance Systems LLC upon submission. You assign all rights in that feedback to us at the moment you submit it. We may use your feedback in any way we choose, without compensation, restriction, or obligation to notify you. Feedback does not include your personal trading data, account credentials, or financial information — those remain yours.
The beta program is not public. During the beta period, you agree not to publicly post, publish, share, stream, or discuss specific beta features, interface elements, or software performance data on any public platform — including social media, YouTube, Reddit, public Discord servers, trading forums, blogs, or podcasts. You may tell people you are a Trade Grounded beta tester. You may not detail what you are testing or characterize specific software performance publicly. Your confidentiality obligations remain in effect until the Company publicly announces the specific features you observed, releases you in writing, or twelve (12) months after the beta period concludes.
Your subscription is billed at $9.99 per month, per platform during the beta period. This rate is temporary. You acknowledge that standard launch pricing will be higher. We will notify you of your post-beta options before any price change takes effect. Beta testers will be offered a founding member conversion offer — either 50% off lifetime access or a $29/month locked rate for life. If you do not accept post-beta terms, you may cancel before the price change with no penalty.
During the beta period, we may collect additional usage data including software interaction patterns, component activation frequency, error logs, and feature utilization metrics. This data is used solely to improve the software. We do not collect your trading account credentials, brokerage account information, actual trade data, positions, P&L, or financial account details. By joining the Beta Program, you consent to this additional data collection for the duration of the beta period.
The SQ Risk Manager is a software tool — not an investment adviser or financial institution. It does not provide investment advice or guarantee trading performance. You are using unfinished software. Beta software may fail to enforce limits as designed, generate errors, or interact with your trading platform in unintended ways. You accept these risks by participating.
THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY TRADING LOSSES, MISSED OPPORTUNITIES, ACCOUNT DRAWDOWNS, LIQUIDATIONS, OR OTHER FINANCIAL OUTCOMES THAT OCCUR DURING OR AFTER YOUR USE OF THE BETA SOFTWARE, WHETHER OR NOT RELATED TO ANY SOFTWARE ERROR, BUG, FAILURE, OR UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR. THE COMPANY'S TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
We may suspend or terminate your Beta Program access at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by emailing support@trade-grounded.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Sections 2, 3, and 6 of this Agreement survive termination.
The Beta Program includes a three (3) day free trial. Your payment method is required upfront. You will not be charged during the three-day period. If you do not cancel before the trial expires, your subscription activates automatically at $9.99/month per platform. Trial cancellations must be submitted before the three-day period ends to avoid charges. "Try it free for three days. Cancel anytime." — card is required. This is not waived under any circumstances.
