Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Trendvo ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

2. Description of Service

Trendvo is a data and analytics platform that provides broker-verified trading performance data, rankings, and trader profiles. The Platform does not provide financial advice, execute trades, manage funds, or act as a broker or financial intermediary.

AI features (Sofia). The Platform includes AI-assisted features (collectively "Sofia", including its Trader Insights and Content Studio modes). Inputs you submit to Sofia - including prompts, questions, and any text or content you paste - are processed by third-party large language model (LLM) providers acting as our sub-processors in order to generate a response. You must not submit confidential information, personal data of third parties, credentials, or broker/API keys via Sofia. AI outputs are generated automatically, may be inaccurate or incomplete, and do not constitute financial, legal, tax or professional advice. You are responsible for reviewing any AI output before acting on or publishing it. See the Privacy Policy for details on how inputs are handled and retained.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into contracts in your jurisdiction. By registering, you represent that all information you provide is accurate and complete.

4. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorised use.

Suspension and termination. Trendvo may suspend, restrict, or terminate any Pro-Investor or investor account at its sole discretion and, where Trendvo considers it reasonably necessary (including suspected fraud, manipulation of performance or referral data, breach of these Terms, risk to other users, or regulatory, legal or security concerns), with immediate effect and without prior notice. Where termination is for convenience and not for cause, Trendvo will use reasonable efforts to provide prior notice. On termination, access to paid features ceases, any accrued but unpaid revenue share remains subject to the standard payout terms and any clawback for fraudulent or non-compliant activity, and the surviving provisions of these Terms continue to apply. Nothing in this clause limits any rights you have under applicable consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.

5. Trader Verification & Data

Traders who connect broker accounts via read-only API consent to the collection, processing, and public display of their trading performance data (including returns, metrics, and rankings) on the Platform. Your real identity remains under your control, hidden behind your chosen trader alias by default, and only displayed publicly if you explicitly opt in via your profile settings.

Scoring, rankings & classifications. All proprietary scoring, ranking and classification systems on the Platform, including (without limitation) the Trendvo Score, Risk Classification (Careful / Balanced / Aggressive), Match %, Rank, leaderboard categories, Hidden Gem and other discovery tiles, badges, and the weightings, inputs, formulas, time windows and thresholds that drive them, are designed, maintained and owned by Trendvo. Trendvo may add, remove, rename, recalibrate, retune or replace any such system, methodology, weighting, input, threshold or display at any time, at its sole discretion, on at least one (1) month's prior written notice to affected users (via email or Platform notification). Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any such change constitutes acceptance of the updated system. No user (investor or Pro-Investor) has any contractual right to the continuation of any particular score, rank, classification, badge, methodology or display. Where applicable consumer protection laws (including the Australian Consumer Law) grant you rights that cannot be excluded, those rights prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

6. Subscriptions & Payments

Certain features require a paid subscription. Subscription fees are billed monthly, and the current pricing displayed on the Pricing page applies. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Refunds are provided in accordance with applicable law.

Billing cycles. Investor subscriptions are offered on monthly or annual billing. Annual billing is offered at a discount to the equivalent monthly rate (currently approximately 20% off, see the Pricing page for the current rate). Annual subscriptions are billed upfront for the full year. You may cancel at any time from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period and no further charges will be made.

Price changes. Trendvo may change subscription fees, plan inclusions (including the number of Pro-Investor slots), and the annual discount rate from time to time. For existing subscribers, any price increase or material reduction in plan inclusions will take effect at the next renewal following at least 30 days' written notice (via email or Platform notification), and you may cancel before the new price or terms take effect to avoid the change. Price decreases and benefit increases may take effect immediately. Promotional, introductory, or founding-cohort rates apply only for the period and on the conditions stated at signup, after which standard pricing applies. Where applicable consumer protection laws (including the Australian Consumer Law) grant you rights that cannot be excluded, those rights prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

7. Pro-Investor Revenue Share

Verified traders ("Pro-Investors") may earn a share of subscription revenue generated from followers who subscribe to access their verified trading data and strategies. The revenue share percentage is set by Trendvo and communicated to Pro-Investors upon enrolment.

Fair Share Tiers. The standard Pro-Investor revenue share operates on a tiered structure designed to fairly reward contribution while preventing excessive earnings concentration. The specific tier rates, thresholds, and any overall cap are set by Trendvo, published in the Pro-Investor dashboard, and may be adjusted from time to time at Trendvo's sole discretion on at least one (1) month's prior written notice to affected Pro-Investors (via email or Platform notification). Continued participation after the effective date of any change constitutes acceptance of the updated tiers.

Direct Referral Bonus. Each Pro-Investor is issued a personal referral link. Followers who subscribe to a paid plan via that link ("Referral Subscribers") may attribute an enhanced revenue share to the Pro-Investor for a limited period, after which their revenue share reverts to the standard Fair Share Tiers above. The current enhanced rate, bonus duration, and attribution rules are published in the Pro-Investor dashboard. Attribution is first-touch with a 30-day cookie window and is locked at the moment of paid conversion. Self-referrals (matched by payment method, device fingerprint, or IP) are excluded. The Pro-Investor's public profile discloses that subscriptions via the referral link attribute a higher share. Trendvo may adjust the Referral Bonus rate, duration, or attribution rules at any time, at its sole discretion, on at least 30 days' notice. Disputes about referral attribution - including which Pro-Investor is credited for a subscriber, the validity of a referral, suspected self-referral or circumvention, and the calculation of any resulting revenue share, will be reviewed by Trendvo in good faith using the available attribution, payment and device data. Trendvo's determination of any such dispute is final and binding, save for any rights you have under applicable consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.

Trendvo may modify the standard revenue share percentage, the Fair Share Tier structure, any cap, the Referral Bonus, and any other terms of the Pro-Investor programme at any time, at its sole discretion. Any change will be communicated to affected Pro-Investors with a minimum of 30 days' written notice (via email or Platform notification) before the new rate or terms take effect. Continued participation in the Pro-Investor programme after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance of the updated revenue share terms. No Pro-Investor (including members of the Founding 250 cohort) has any contractual right to the continuation of any particular rate, tier, cap, or bonus.

Founding Trader badge. Members of the Founding 250 cohort are granted a verified "Founding Trader" badge that will be displayed on their public profile, leaderboard entries, and official Trendvo embeds, share cards, or marketing surfaces while their Pro-Investor account remains active and in good standing and while the Founding Trader programme remains in effect. No Pro-Investor has any contractual right to the continued display of the badge or to any particular revenue share rate, tier, cap, referral bonus, or programme feature. Trendvo may modify, suspend or discontinue the Founding Trader badge and any associated benefits at any time, at its sole discretion, on the notice period set out in clause 7 above. Trendvo will not remove or downgrade the Founding Trader badge except where required by law, regulator direction, in accordance with clause 7, or where the account is terminated, suspended, or closed for breach of these Terms.

Revenue share payments are subject to applicable tax obligations and minimum payout thresholds as specified in the Pro-Investor dashboard. Trendvo makes no guarantee of any minimum earnings.

8. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to: (a) manipulate or attempt to manipulate performance data; (b) impersonate another person or entity; (c) use the Platform for any unlawful purpose; (d) interfere with the Platform's operation; (e) scrape, harvest, or collect data without authorisation.

9. Intellectual Property & User Content

Platform IP. The Platform itself, including its software, design, trademarks, logos, rankings methodology, and aggregated analytics, is owned by Trendvo or its licensors. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from these elements without prior written consent.

Your content. You retain ownership of all content you submit to the Platform, including your profile information, biography, written commentary, educational posts, AI-assisted content you approve, and trading performance data sourced from your connected broker ("User Content"). Your trader alias is excluded from User Content: aliases are issued and administered by Trendvo, form part of the Platform's brand and ranking system, and remain the property of Trendvo (you receive a non-exclusive licence to use your alias on the Platform for the duration of your active account).

Licence to Trendvo. By submitting User Content, you grant Trendvo a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, translate, and create derived presentations of that content solely for the purposes of operating, promoting, and improving the Platform (including showing your data on leaderboards, trader profiles, marketing materials, and within follower dashboards). This licence continues for as long as the content remains on the Platform and for a reasonable period thereafter to the extent necessary for backups, legal compliance, and historical/aggregated analytics.

Your responsibilities. You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to all User Content you submit and that it does not infringe any third-party rights. You can request removal of specific User Content at any time via your profile settings or by contacting us; aggregated or anonymised data derived from your content may be retained.

10. Disclaimer

Trendvo provides data and analytics about trading performance. The Platform does not provide financial advice or recommendations to buy or sell financial instruments. Past performance does not guarantee future results. All investment decisions are your own.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Trendvo shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform, including (without limitation) loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, anticipated savings, data, business opportunity, investment losses or trading losses, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise, and whether or not such loss was foreseeable.

Aggregate cap. In any event, Trendvo's total aggregate liability to you arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Platform, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), under statute or otherwise, is capped at the greater of (a) the fees actually paid by you to Trendvo in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event first giving rise to the liability, or (b) AUD $100. This cap applies in aggregate across all claims and is not per-claim.

Nothing in this clause limits or excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including under the Australian Consumer Law.

12. Governing Law

These Terms, and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

13. Dispute Resolution & Jurisdiction

Before commencing any formal proceedings, you agree to first contact us at hello@trendvo.com and attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith for a period of at least 30 days.

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, you and Trendvo submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia (and the courts of appeal from them) for the resolution of any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Platform. Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Where applicable consumer protection laws (including the Australian Consumer Law) grant you rights that cannot be excluded, those rights prevail over this clause to the extent of any inconsistency.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

15. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We will notify users of material changes via email or Platform notification.

Our business, our terms. Trendvo operates and curates the Platform as its own commercial product. Subject only to applicable law (including non-excludable consumer protection laws such as the Australian Consumer Law), Trendvo reserves the absolute right, at its sole discretion, to set, vary, replace or withdraw any aspect of the Platform and these Terms, including pricing, plans, inclusions, revenue share, scoring and ranking methodologies, eligibility, features, badges, content policies, partner arrangements, and access, at any time. Where these Terms grant Trendvo a discretion or right of decision, that discretion is final and binding (save for non-excludable consumer-law rights). Continued use of the Platform after any change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the change.
