Terms of Service & Legal Disclosures

1. Software License & Pure Visualization Nature

tapeHUD is an independent, proprietary browser extension and visual analytics tool. tapeHUD is strictly a visualization overlay that formats live browser Time & Sales data. tapeHUD does NOT provide brokerage services, does NOT place, execute, or route trades, and does NOT hold customer funds. tapeHUD visualizes confirmed executed trade prints (Time & Sales) and does not provide or display passive Depth of Market (DOM) / Level 2 limit order books. All order placement and trading risk remain exclusively between the user and their broker.

2. Subscription & Billing Terms

Access to tapeHUD is provided on a subscription basis. All subscriptions include an initial 7-day free trial, limited to one (1) free trial per payment method, email address, and workstation. A valid payment method is required to begin the trial. You may cancel your subscription at any time during the 7-day trial period or during any active billing cycle with a single click via your account management link or email receipt. If not cancelled before the 7-day trial concludes, your subscription automatically begins and renews at the chosen billing rate (1-device or 2-device plan). Upon cancellation, access remains active until the end of the current billing cycle with zero cancellation fees. Attempts to circumvent the one-trial limitation by using alternate emails, payment methods, or workstations may result in automatic cancellation of the duplicate trial subscription.

3. Intellectual Property

The tapeHUD software, order flow visualization algorithms, acoustic radar logic, user interface design, and website content are the exclusive proprietary property of tapeHUD.com. Unauthorized reverse engineering, distribution, or reproduction is strictly prohibited.

4. Third-Party Browser Feed & Data Continuity Disclaimer

tapeHUD processes and reconstructs market transactions locally in your browser strictly as delivered by your active broker or trading platform’s Time & Sales feed. tapeHUD is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. tapeHUD does not warrant or guarantee that browser data streams will be uninterrupted, continuous, timely, or completely error-free. Calculation accuracy, volume delta, and profile distributions may be impacted by third-party internet latency, browser tab throttling, power-saving sleep policies, WebSocket reconnects, or host platform data transmission delays. Under no circumstances shall tapeHUD, its creators, or affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential trading losses, execution slips, or financial damages resulting from browser data delivery or client-side technical interruptions.

5. Data Export, User Responsibility & Non-Redistribution Disclaimer

The CSV export feature provided by tapeHUD is strictly a client-side convenience tool intended solely for the user’s personal record-keeping, trade journaling, local spreadsheet analysis, and personal quantitative research. All market transaction data visualized and subsequently exported via tapeHUD originates directly from your independent third-party broker, trading platform, or data vendor, and remains subject to the market data agreements, terms of service, exchange rules (including, without limitation, rules imposed by exchanges such as CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX, ICE, NASDAQ, or NYSE), and data licensing agreements established between you and your provider.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Sole Responsibility: You are solely and exclusively responsible for the possession, custody, handling, processing, and use of any data exported or downloaded from or through tapeHUD.
  • Prohibition of Unauthorized Redistribution & Resale: You shall not resell, commercially redistribute, sub-license, publish, broadcast, or otherwise transfer any exported market data in violation of your broker's terms, exchange data policies, or any applicable intellectual property and market data regulations.
  • Complete Disclaimer of Liability: tapeHUD, its creators, operators, and affiliates disclaim any and all liability, whether direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential, arising from or related to what you or any third party do with downloaded or exported data. tapeHUD exercises no control over, and assumes zero legal responsibility for, any user’s subsequent handling, commercialization, dissemination, or illicit sale of exported data.
  • Indemnification: You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless tapeHUD, its founders, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, penalties, exchange audits, or legal fees arising out of or related to your breach of third-party data licenses, unauthorized data redistribution, or improper use of exported files.

6. CFTC Rule 4.41 & Futures Risk Disclosure

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

Trading futures, options, equities, and cryptocurrencies involves substantial financial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading.

7. No Financial or Investment Advice

tapeHUD and tapeHUD.com provide informational and analytical software tools only. Nothing on this website or produced by the extension constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All trading decisions are made solely at your own discretion and risk.
