Where Ask Socrates is available
Ask Socrates is not available in the European Union, the European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Gibraltar, Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man (the "Listed Regions"). Don't use Ask Socrates if you live in or are in a Listed Region.
Don't use a VPN, proxy, the Tor network or any other tool to hide your location in order to reach it.
We may block Ask Socrates if we believe it is used from a Listed Region or in breach of this section.
Use of the site
You may use the site for your own personal, non-commercial learning. Don't misuse it: no scraping at scale, no attempts to break its security, and no sending trade signals, promotions or other people's personal information through it. We may block access if we believe these terms have been broken or to protect the site or its users.
Third-party content
Some pages, including some lessons, offer quotes, charts and news from TradingView, Inc. These tools stay off until you choose to show them. See the Privacy Policy. Some lessons show a video hosted on YouTube; YouTube's player loads only after you press play, and YouTube's own terms apply to it. Links to other websites, including TradingView, are provided for convenience. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or practices, and their own terms and privacy policies apply.
Changes to the site and these terms
The site and its features are offered as they are today. We may add, change, limit, suspend or discontinue any part of the site, including free access to any part of it, at any time, with or without notice. We may update these terms; the "Last updated" date at the top shows the current version. If a change is material, we post a notice on the site and, where the law requires, ask for your agreement. Continuing to use the site after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
The site is provided "as is"
The site, its lessons, videos, tools, calendar and Ask Socrates are provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that the site or any part of it will be available, uninterrupted, error-free, secure or up to date, or that any content, calculation or calendar time is accurate.
Ask Socrates
Ask Socrates is an automated site guide. Its replies may be incomplete, out of date or wrong, and we don't guarantee that it will answer any question or answer it correctly. Its replies are general education, not advice. We may change, limit or turn off Ask Socrates at any time.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any trading or investment losses, or for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, arising from your use of the site. Nothing in these terms limits any liability or right that cannot be limited or excluded by law.
Governing law and disputes
These terms and any dispute about them or the site are governed by the laws of the State of Texas and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Except for small claims, any such dispute is decided only in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you and we agree to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Either of us may instead bring an individual claim in a small claims court (in Texas, a justice court) that has jurisdiction. If you have a concern, please email contact@socratictrading.com first so we can try to resolve it. Nothing in these terms takes away any right you have under a law that can't be waived by contract, including the consumer protection laws of the state where you live.
