Disclaimer
Last updated: [DATE]
The information provided through Elenchos and on this website by [COMPANY NAME] ("we," "us," "our") is for general informational purposes only. We provide it in good faith, but we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, about its accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness. All data is provided on a best-effort basis.
Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. We are not liable for any losses arising from your use of it.
1. Trading involves risk
Trading and investing carry substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for everyone. You could lose some or all of the capital you commit. Only ever risk capital you can afford to lose without jeopardizing your financial security. Nothing about using Elenchos reduces or changes that risk.
Past performance is never a reliable indicator of future results.
2. Not investment advice
[COMPANY NAME] is not registered as a financial advisor, investment manager, or broker with the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) or any other financial regulator. Nothing on this website or produced by Elenchos is, or should be construed as, financial, investment, legal, or tax advice, an offer to sell, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or financial instrument.
You are solely responsible for deciding whether any strategy, investment, or transaction is appropriate for you, based on your own objectives, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Consult a qualified, licensed financial, tax, or legal professional before making any investment decision.
Trade and invest at your own risk.
3. Simulated and backtested results have limits
Where Elenchos’s evaluation of a strategy relies on simulated, hypothetical, or backtested data, be aware that this kind of result has inherent limitations that don’t apply to live trading. Backtests are generally built with the benefit of hindsight, carry no real financial risk, and can’t fully capture how you personally would react to actual losses or account for every real-world factor affecting live markets. There are often material differences between simulated results and the results an actual trading account would achieve. No representation is made that any strategy will achieve, or is likely to achieve, results similar to what a simulation shows.
4. Other customers’ results aren’t a promise about yours
Any results, outcomes, or testimonials shared by other customers — on this website, in marketing materials, or elsewhere — reflect their own individual use of the Service, their own strategy, their own data, and market conditions specific to them. They are not representative of what you should expect, and are not a guarantee of similar performance for you.
5. You are responsible for your own decisions
You are solely responsible for any investment or trading decision you make, whether or not informed by Elenchos. It’s your responsibility to independently verify any information before acting on it. You agree to indemnify and hold [COMPANY NAME] harmless from any claim, loss, or expense (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or your investment decisions.
6. No warranties, no liability
The Service and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or accuracy. To the maximum extent permitted by law, [COMPANY NAME] is not liable for any loss or damage — financial or otherwise — arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Service, including trading losses, lost profits, or decisions made using it. Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded under French law (e.g. gross negligence, willful misconduct).

Questions about this Disclaimer: [legal@yourcompany.com]
[TODO: this page carries real weight for a tool positioned around evaluating whether a trading strategy is trustworthy — worth having a lawyer confirm the wording holds up, and worth cross-referencing it with the Limitation of Liability clause in the Terms & Conditions so the two don’t contradict each other. Also worth a quick professional opinion on whether your activity, as described, sits clearly outside activities requiring AMF authorization in France — a disclaimer helps establish intent but doesn’t by itself exempt you from financial-services regulation if what the tool does functionally resembles investment advice. Section 3 (simulated/backtested results) assumes your tool evaluates strategies using historical or simulated data — trim or adjust it if that’s not how it works. I left out anything about a Discord/community channel since you don’t have one; add an equivalent section later if you launch a community space.]
