Terms of Service

Last updated: September 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using flinktrade.com (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

FlinkTrade lists automated market-making trading bots that connect to a cryptocurrency exchange account you own and control — currently MEXC and WEEX, with more planned. You generate an API key on your own exchange account, restricted to trade-only permissions with no withdrawal access, and provide it to FlinkTrade so a bot can place and manage orders on your behalf on that exchange. FlinkTrade never takes custody of your funds — your assets remain in your own exchange account at all times. The Service includes a paper trading mode (simulated orders against real market prices, no real funds involved) and a live trading mode (real orders placed on your connected exchange account using your own funds). FlinkTrade does not provide financial, investment, or trading advice.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally permitted to trade financial instruments in your jurisdiction. Cryptocurrency trading is not available in all countries, and you are responsible for confirming it is permitted where you live before using the Service.

4. Profit-Share Fee

• The Service is free to use. We charge 50% of your net monthly trading profit, calculated per connected bot above that bot's high watermark (its highest previously-billed balance).
• If a bot has a losing month, no fee is charged for that bot and the loss is carried forward — you are never charged on recovering a previous loss, only on new net gains above your prior high watermark.
• You are invoiced via Stripe on the 1st of each month for the prior month's profit.
• You have 14 days to pay. If payment is not received in that window, live trading is paused until the balance is cleared.

5. Risk Disclosure

Trading cryptocurrency — including the non-leveraged, spot market-making strategies offered here — involves a real risk of loss. Past performance of any bot, in paper trading or live trading, is not indicative of future results. You may lose some or all of the funds you allocate to a bot. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose entirely. See our full Risk Disclosure before enabling live trading.

6. Your Responsibilities

• You are responsible for generating your exchange API key with trade-only permissions (no withdrawal access) and for keeping it and your account credentials secure.
• You are responsible for monitoring your connected exchange account and for any activity that occurs on it, including activity initiated by a bot you've connected.
• You are responsible for all taxes and legal obligations arising from your trading activity in your jurisdiction.
• You must not use the Service for any unlawful purpose.

7. API Keys and Data

Your exchange API keys are encrypted at rest using AES-256 (Fernet symmetric encryption). We store only encrypted ciphertext, decrypt a key only in memory at the moment it's needed to sign a request to the exchange it belongs to, and never transmit your keys to any party other than that exchange. You may disconnect and delete your keys at any time from Broker Keys in your account.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, flinktrade.com and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of the Service, including but not limited to trading losses, exchange outages, or losses arising from a connected exchange account.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. You may delete your account at any time; doing so does not affect your own exchange account, which remains under your sole control.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
