1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Wistaston website or any associated services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.
2. Description of Service
Wistaston provides an AI-powered data-analysis platform that presents backtested, risk-managed investment strategy information intended for informational and educational purposes. The Service does not constitute, and should not be construed as, personalized investment advice, a recommendation to buy or sell any security, or an offer or solicitation of any kind in any jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation would be unlawful.
All strategy outputs, scores, backtests, and analytics presented through the Service are generated using historical and/or simulated data and automated models. These outputs are provided "as is" and may contain errors, assumptions, or limitations inherent to modeling and backtesting methodologies.
3. No Investment Advice
Nothing contained in the Service constitutes financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Wistaston is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial planner, and no fiduciary relationship is created between you and Wistaston through your use of the Service. You are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks associated with any decision made in reliance on information obtained through the Service and should consult with a qualified, licensed professional before making any investment decision.
4. Past Performance and Backtested Results
Backtested or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance records, backtested results do not represent actual trading and may not account for all factors relevant to real-world investing, including liquidity constraints, transaction costs, slippage, and market impact. Past performance, whether actual, backtested, or simulated, is not indicative of, and does not guarantee, future results. Wistaston makes no representation or warranty that any strategy presented will achieve profits or avoid losses.
