Terms of Service

Welcome to Backtest Labs. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Backtest Labs LLC ("Backtest Labs," "we," "our," or "us") products and services. By using our site or creating an account, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

1. Eligibility & Accounts

• You must be at least 13 years old to use Backtest Labs.
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and login credentials.
• You agree to provide accurate information when creating an account.

2. Use of Services

• Backtest Labs provides tools to backtest stock trading strategies against historical market data.
• The platform is for educational and informational purposes only.
• We do not provide financial, investment, or trading advice.
• You may not use the platform for any illegal purpose or in violation of applicable laws.

3. Subscriptions & Payments

• Backtest Labs offers multiple subscription tiers: Free, Core, Advanced, and Professional. Each tier provides different feature access and usage limits. Details are available on our Pricing page.
• Paid subscriptions are sold through Link. Sold through Link, LLC, an affiliate of Stripe, is the merchant of record for your purchase: it takes your payment, sends your receipts and invoices, and appears on your statement as a charge from LINK.COM that names Backtest Labs. Backtest Labs remains responsible for the service itself. Your purchase is also subject to Link's Sold Through Link Terms.
• A paid subscription renews automatically each month or each year at your plan's price until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from Account. Your plan then stays active until the end of the period you have paid for, and your account moves to the Free plan. You can also manage the subscription from your Link account.

Prices and taxes:

• Prices are shown in the currency of your region. The currency of your first subscription is the currency of every later charge on your account.
• Prices in US dollars and Canadian dollars do not include tax. Tax is added at checkout and on each renewal where it applies. Prices in every other currency include any tax that applies.
• Tax is calculated from the billing address you give at checkout. You are responsible for providing an accurate billing address and for keeping it current. Taxes are not refunded except as part of a refund of the underlying charge.
• We may change the price of a plan. If the price of your plan changes, we will email you at least 15 days before your next renewal at the new price. You can cancel before that renewal and you will not be charged the new price.

Refund Policy:

• Subscriptions are non-refundable, except as set out here or where the law in your country gives you a right to a refund.
• Link's refund policy also applies to your purchase, and where it is more favorable to you than ours, it controls. Under it you can ask Link for a refund within 60 days of a charge if you did not receive what you paid for, if it was significantly not as described, or if the charge was unauthorized or made twice.
• In rare cases, a prorated refund may be offered for annual subscribers, at our sole discretion.

4. User Content & Ownership

• You retain ownership of the strategies and content you create on Backtest Labs. By using the platform, you grant Backtest Labs, LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, and display your strategies solely to provide and improve the Service.
