Terms of service for software you run yourself

These terms are between you and Laxtic Software Services, a business name registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria (Business Name Registration No. 8618796), whose principal place of business is 1 Adekunle Owobiyi Close, off Oladele Kadiri Close, Ogba, Lagos State, Nigeria. “We”, “us” and “our” mean Laxtic Software Services, and it is the entity that licenses the software to you.

They take effect on 28 August 2026, and you accept them by buying a licence, installing the software or using it whichever you do first.

They cover the PriceSylo software the engine, with the web panel and desktop app included and this website. They do not cover the third parties you connect the software to. Your relationship with each exchange is governed by that exchange’s own terms, and your relationship with any AI model or web-search provider you configure is governed by that provider’s. We are not a party to either.

How the software handles data is described in the privacy policy.

What is licensed is the engine the process that runs on your machine. The web panel and the desktop app are included with it, under the same licence, at no separate charge.

Both licences carry the same capabilities. Every read the software publishes is available on either one, and neither licence decides what you may look at. What differs is how long the licence runs and how much you may run at once: the personal licence covers up to 3 machines, 3 market monitors and 3 cross-tracked timeframes; the commercial licence covers up to 5 machines, unlimited monitors and all 5 timeframes.

Payment is taken off this site, by Zatabox the third-party payment and box-office platform we sell through and the build follows from that purchase. Zatabox takes the money under its own terms; we issue the licence. The licence is issued against the email you buy with, and the licence key is emailed to that address as soon as the purchase clears. That key is what activates your copy, so buy with an address you can actually receive mail at and keep the key: it is the licence.

If your payment succeeds and the build or the licence does not reach you, that is our problem to fix rather than yours to absorb: write to support@pricesylo.com and you are entitled to have it delivered again or, if you would rather not wait, to a full refund of what you paid.

The software runs on hardware you control. We do not operate a server on your behalf, we do not receive your market data, and there is no endpoint of ours in the request path — the engine’s four surfaces bind to 127.0.0.1:8420 on your own machine. The licence check in clause 02 is the one connection of ours, and it sits beside that path rather than in it: nothing you ask the engine for travels through us.

• No uptime commitment, no availability target, no service-level agreement. Not as a limitation of an offering, but because there is almost nothing of ours to keep up: availability is a property of your machine and of the exchanges you connect to. The one exception is the licence check, which does depend on us being reachable eventually the offline grace window in clause 02 is what keeps a temporary outage of ours from stopping your engine. No availability target is promised for it either, and you should not build a deployment that assumes one.
• No support commitment is made here. Any support, response time or maintenance obligation would have to be agreed separately and in writing. Nothing on this site creates one.
• What we can switch off is the licence, and only the licence. There is no account to disable and no remote control over a running installation, but the software will not run on an expired or revoked licence, or on more machines than the licence covers. Revocation is for breach of clause 02 not a discretion we hold over a customer in good standing.
• Market data quality, continuity and correctness originate with the exchanges. It is their data, not ours. The engine reconnects on failure and reports its own status, but it cannot manufacture data an exchange did not send, and it cannot correct data an exchange sent wrongly.

• The software executes only what you authorise. It has no strategy of its own, does not trade on your behalf, and initiates nothing on its own account. Every order carries a client id, and nothing is ever silently retried a failed order stays failed until you decide what to do about it.
• A human presses Confirm. The assistant can fill an order ticket for you; the confirm control refuses it, unconditionally. That is a property of the software, and it is the reason the previous sentence can be made at all.
• Automation you build is yours to answer for. If you connect an autonomous agent, a script, or a webhook consumer that acts on what the engine publishes, you remain responsible for everything it does with your credentials, including while you are not watching.
• Execution outcomes belong to the exchange. Fills, partial fills, rejections, slippage, funding, liquidations, fee schedules and downtime are determined by the venue, not by this software. It reports what the venue told it.

The panel includes an optional AI assistant. It runs in your browser, against accounts you hold with third-party model providers, on keys you supply. There is no PriceSylo model and no inference service of ours.

• Its output is not our advice. Anything the assistant says is generated by a third-party model that you selected. We do not author it, do not review it, and cannot vouch for it. Language models state wrong things fluently; treat every number, level and conclusion as something to verify before you act on it.
• You contract with the provider, not with us. Their terms, their pricing, their availability, their rate limits and their content rules apply to your use of them. You pay them directly. If a provider changes, degrades or withdraws a model, that is between you and them.
• What you send is your decision. Prompts, gathered market context and chart images go from your browser to the provider you chose. See the privacy policy for what that means and what it does not.
• It cannot submit an order. It can prepare one for you to check. The final act is always yours.

• No accuracy, win-rate, hit-rate, backtest or profit-and-loss figure exists anywhere in the product, and none is claimed here or anywhere else on this site. If you encounter such a figure attributed to PriceSylo, it did not come from us.
• Analysis, alerts, signals and anything an agent derives from them are diagnostics over market data not trade instructions, and not a list of trades to take.
• Charts, replays and exports are produced locally from data the exchanges sent. They are a rendering of that data and inherit whatever was wrong with it.

The software is a tool. It does not know where you are, does not screen who you are, and has no way to enforce a rule that applies to you. By using it you confirm that:

• You may lawfully trade the instruments you trade, on the venues you use, from where you are. Some venues, products and leverage levels are restricted or prohibited in some places. Establishing that is your job, not the software’s.
• Your use complies with each exchange’s own terms, API terms and rate limits, and with any restriction attached to the API credentials you created. Automating against an exchange is a thing exchanges have rules about.
• You meet any registration, licensing, disclosure, record-keeping and tax obligation that applies to you or to anyone you act for. Trading on behalf of others in particular tends to carry obligations that trading for yourself does not.
• You are old enough and legally able to enter these terms, and are not barred from receiving the software under any sanctions or export control that applies.

We do not verify any of the above and are not in a position to. If a rule applies to you and you break it, that is between you and whoever enforces it.

The software has no authentication on any surface. Its safety rests entirely on the default loopback bind and on the machine you run it on. By using it you accept that:

• Exposing the port is yours to own. Moving the engine off the loopback interface, or otherwise making its port reachable from a network, grants full access including the trading surface to anything that can reach it. The software ships with no authentication layer and you should not plan a deployment that assumes one. If you need it exposed, put your own authentication in front of it.
• Safeguarding your credentials is yours to own. Exchange keys, provider keys, the passphrase that unlocks them and the machine they sit on are your responsibility. Scope exchange keys to what you actually need, withhold withdrawal permission unless you truly need it, use IP allow-lists where the venue offers them, and revoke immediately on any suspicion.
• We cannot recover, reset or revoke your data or your keys for you. There is no account, no server-side copy of your data and no back door into your machine. Loss of the machine, the passphrase or the data is not recoverable through us. The one thing we do hold is your licence record, so a machine you no longer have can be released from it that is the limit of what support can restore.
• Keep your own backups. Your settings, workspaces, recordings and history live only where you put them.

The software is distributed as a standalone executable and does not require a separate Node.js or other runtime installation. It requires a 64-bit operating system macOS, Windows or Linux on x86-64 hardware; on Linux it requires a glibc-based distribution and will not run on a musl-based one such as Alpine. Local chart rendering is handled by a component embedded in the executable, so it is no longer a separate requirement you must supply. It requires outbound network access to the exchanges you use, and to verify its licence, which it must do to start at all.

We do not publish an operating-system support matrix beyond this, because none has been tested and recorded. Treat “a standalone executable for 64-bit macOS, Windows or Linux (x86-64), and on Linux a glibc-based distribution” as the whole of the stated requirement, and verify on your own platform before relying on it. We do not warrant that it will run on any particular machine of yours.

The software, its documentation and this website remain the property of Laxtic Software Services and its licensors. The scope of what you may and may not do with your copy is the licence grant in clause 02; this clause adds the restrictions that sit alongside it.

Anything you produce with the software is yours. Your configuration, your tracked pairs, your analysis output and any strategy you build on top of it never reach us, so we could not claim rights over them even if we wanted to.

The software includes third-party components. Those remain the property of their own authors and are licensed under their own terms, which continue to apply to them and which nothing in this clause limits. The applicable notices are available on request from support@pricesylo.com.

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter including a non-contractual one are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The courts of Lagos State, Nigeria have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim. There is no arbitration clause in these terms: a dispute that cannot be settled between us goes to those courts.

Before it comes to that, write to us. Most disagreements about a licence are a support matter, and a message to support@pricesylo.com settles them faster and at less cost to both sides than a filing would.

Where the law of the country you live in gives you a protection that cannot be contracted out of, this clause does not take it away from you.

We may change these terms because the product changes, because the law changes, or because how a licence is sold changes. Material changes are dated and summarised here, and prior versions kept available. A change takes effect for a licence you already hold from the date it is published, and never retrospectively.

Legal notices should be sent to Laxtic Software Services, 1 Adekunle Owobiyi Close, off Oladele Kadiri Close, Ogba, Lagos State, Nigeria, and copied to support@pricesylo.com. General enquiries and licence requests go to that same mailbox.
