Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using our service. By submitting the Getting Started form and using the service, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1. Paper Trading Accounts Only

- Connect to your Alpaca paper-trading account using the credentials you provide;
- Place, modify, and cancel orders on that account on your behalf;
- Read account data, positions, and order history as needed to operate the service.
This authorization remains in effect until you revoke it by removing or rotating your API credentials in your Alpaca account.
3. Free Trial
The service is provided free of charge for an initial period of 30 days from the date your account is activated and may be extended or terminated early at our sole discretion.
4. Accuracy of Information
You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information you submit, including your API credentials, email address, and stock ticker. We are not liable for errors, failed connections, or incorrect trades resulting from inaccurate or invalid information provided by you.

6. Not a Broker, Adviser, or Financial Professional
Essofore LLC is a software provider. We are not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, financial adviser, or financial planner, and we are not registered as such with any regulatory authority. The service automates the execution of an options trading strategy on your Alpaca paper-trading account based on a predetermined algorithm; it does not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice of any kind.
Nothing in the service, on this website, or in any communication from us should be construed as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. You are solely responsible for all investment and trading decisions. If you require personalized financial advice, please consult a qualified and licensed financial professional.
7. Privacy and Security
Your privacy and the security of your credentials are important to us. By using the service you acknowledge our Privacy and Security Policy. In summary: we use the information you provide solely for business purposes related to operating the service, and we apply appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your credentials and personal data. However, no system is immune to unauthorized access, and we are not liable for any loss, damage, or disclosure resulting from cyber-attacks, data breaches, or other security incidents outside our reasonable control.
